EARTHQUAKES IN COSTA RIGA.
Enormous Damage inflicted by the ReceI
Shocks in That Country.

Enormous Damage Inflicted by the Recent
Shocks in That Country.
PANAMA, Feb. 4.-The following details
of the recent earthquakes in Costa Rica
are published in the Annunciator Costa
Ricanse: At IS P. NJ, Dec. 90, while the in
habitants of San Jose, the capital, were
preparing to enjoy the entertainments
which had been prepared, a strong shock
of earthquake caused general alarm. At II
o'clock another and stronger shock oc-
CURED, leading all to believe that another
would follow. For this reason no one re-
tired to rest. Thus all were awake when,
at 4:20 A. NJ, movement occurred which
was more than simple earthquake, being
really fearful cataclysm, similar to that
of September, 1s4l, and which did Immense
damage in the cities of San Jose and Here
dia, and the villages of Baba, Santa Bar
bara, San Rafaelde, Crecia and SantO
Domingo, and in many smaller hamlets.
The edifces which suffered most in San
Jose were the Cathedral, the Carmen and
Merced churches the presidential palace,
the artillery barracks, the National palace,
the central barracks, the National printing
office, and the Union Bank. 1t may be
truly said that not a single house escaped
and others are completely wrecked. 1t has
been necessary to close the churches and
prohibit worship in them. Whole streets
are blocked with ruins. No trains ran until
the bridges were examined and found to be
in good order. The losses in San Jose
amount to more than s., ,0OO, 600, while all
the principal edi6ces in Alajuela are dam
aged.
At Leguna, distant some six miles from
here, a most extraordinary geological phe-
nomenon took place, and the earth has as
snmed the appearance of a rough sea.
The father of a family and four
of his children were buried together.
while the mother and her young child were
thrown by the motion of the earth dis
tance of 1000 meters, although she declares
she believes the earth swallowed her and
then elected her where she was found.
Here the hills have changed their position
and the ground is full of cracks. The town
of Herdia also suffered. In Cartago, LimOn
and Punta Arenas the rumbling of the
earth was noted. Some people claim that
these seismic movements are due to the
POas and some to the Irasu, but as to which
volcano has been the cause no one can say.
Since the first shocks a number of smaller
ones have been experienced, but they have
done no further damage. On Dec. 16 the
Irasu was in eruption and the people in
CartagO were still in state of alarm.

TRIAL OF THE WHITE CAPS.
All the Defendants Claim an Alibi, and Say

All the Defendants Claim an Alibi, and Say
the Victims Character Was Bad.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. 13-This has
been another interesting day for the Mon
roe county White Caps, and from the time
the court bell rang the house has been
crowded with eager listeners. The entire
time has been occupied by the accused, and
the familiar alibi has served well it's part.
With the effort to prove the bad character
of the victim and the careful use of the
alibi the defense rested It's case. About a
dozen witnesses occupied the time of the
court up to noon, all of whom swOre that
VIM. Norman's character was bad in the
community in which he lived, and many of
them said the same of his wife, the effort
being to break down the strong testimony
against the accused by showing that they
are unworthy of belief. Four of the de-
fendants were ON the stand this afternoon,
and, assisted by their wives and rela-
tives, which seems to include about
everybody in the township. they
made out a strong alibi. Marshall Norman,
Frank Norman and William Stacklather
all testified to staying at the house of Mar
shall Norman, and two ladies cOrrobOrated
them. They told their story well and stuck
to it. Squire Bonnam, also defendant,
proved by the family of William Martin
that he was at his house the night of the
outrage; went to bed at 10 o'clock, and did
not get up until the next morning. The
afternoons evidence has made it quite clear
that the fight has just begun, and if these
men are White Caps they are not going to
be convicted without desperate struggle.
The defense hope to get through tonight,
and tomorrow morning will be occupied by
rebuttal evidence. A verdict need not be
looked for before Friday night.

BARBED-WIRE PATENTS.
A Discovery Which Is Claimed to Render Void
the Claims of ALI American Inventors.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-The most important
discovery has been made here that the con-
troll of barbed-wire patents is not vested In
any American firm or corporation, because
the device of barbed wire was patented in
France, to Louis Janin, on April 10. 1865.
The law of this country, as declared by the
United States Supreme Court. is that ''a
foreign patent for the same thing or a de-
scription of the thing in foreign publica-
tion, is as effectual to void patent as if
the patentee had seen the prior invention.
notice to him not being important" If
from it, the claims of certain persons for
royalty under the Glidden and other barbed-
wire patents are void, and all the money
paid to them by barbed-wire manufactur-
ers who had no interest in the Glidden pat
ents is believed to be subjected to recovery.

PANAMA CANAL LABORERS.

They Are Wandering About the Towns,
Waiting Opportunity to Reach Home.
PANAMA, Feb. 4.-Some excitement has
been caused ON the isthmus during the past
ten days by canal rumors from Europe and
by local questions. Although large num-
Der OF men are now unemployed, crime is
not on the increase along the canal route.
The crimes registered by the press are of
trivial nature, and very few of them have
been of murderous character. All the
contractors have discharged large numbers
of men who, being without money, and see
ing no possibility of obtaining remunera-
tive employment, are to be seen
wandering about the streets of towns
and villages anxiously awaiting the
termination of the crisis or to find means
to get away from here. Fortunately, no
disturbance or alarm has been caused, al
though the laborers actually at work have
been reduced to scarcely 1000 or 5000 in
number. We have had few weeks of dry
weather, but it is probable the whole of this
dry season will be lost. since no combina-
tion to re-cOmmence work can by any possi-
bility be arranged within at least four or
five months.

viii Unite with the Regulars.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 13.-The Detroit
Presbytery of the United Presbyterian
Church, comprising the parishes of Detroit,
Port Huron. Ft. Gratiot, Bruce. Brockway,
Fremont. Frazer, Alpena, Long Rapids and
Maple Ridge, formally Withdrew the creed,
Presbyterians. The general body was much
opposed to the secession, and q rather lively
debate was INDUCED in at this mornings
session. The reason for this action is that
for mission churches can be expended to
better advantage in other parts of the
country than in Michigan, and that the
small churches in this State can get more
efficient aid from the Presbyterians than
from the United Presbyterians.

joined the Fenian Brotherhood when six
teen years of age. Soon after becoming a
member he discovered the dangerous char
acter of the organization. The members,
he found, were pledged to engage in secret
efforts against the government, and to con-
vey arms for the purposes of the brother
hood. He himself had handed arms to

PEsTH, Feb. 13.-Emperor Francis Joseph
to-day received the presidents of both
houses of the Hungarian Diet, who pre-
sented him with resolutions of coincidence
