Indeed II seems TO have been the work Of
miracle that so many persons escaped
death. Scores OF lives must however
have been saved by the sudden exit Of
the women for Immediately there fol-
lowed four shocks which brought walls
and roofs tumbling down In all direc-
tions. The hills around re-echoed, the
earth trembled, and the shock was felt
for over 100 miles.
When the shock was over It was then
that the results could be seem The In.

On the strength Of the passage Of tbs

boxes at Middletown has been raised
from ten cents to thirteen cents per
quarter. At least the price went up ag
soon as the bill was passed. Probably
the price was raised in anticipation of
the operation of the bill Il was too
long for Postmaster Cox to read, and he

Declared Legal,

PALAprLPH1A, Nov. l2.--Judge Hare
iu the quarter session court, has de-
cided rather serious case. Recently
Morris Stein, a young Hebrew, was
married to Annie Ficher, a Catholic.
When Father Dressman, pastor of ST.
Boniface's church, heard of the mar.
riage. he aviscd Annals mother that
the marriage was null and void be.
cause, he said no valid marriage could
take place between a Catholic and a
Hebrew. Thcreupon Annie's mother
took her home and refused to let Stein
see his wife. Stein took out writ of
habeas corpus. At the hearing Father
Dressman appeared and tried to con-
vince the court that the marriage wa.
void on the grounds stated. But Judge
Hare called the young bride to the bar
and told her the marriage was perfect
ly legal and asked her whether she
would choose to go with her husband
or her mother. and she modestly ans
werel: my husband" "You have
cIlcss;l wisely" said the Judge, and the
c, i.,e went ont together.

A Washington special Of the 14th
inst. speaks With reference to the
threatening ahSnt:break ofthe northern
Indians, says: "Gen. Miles to-day
ordered the troops stationed at Forts
Meade, Niobrara, Robinson, Laramie
and other points in the vicinity of the
threatened Sioux Indian outbreak to
take the field Immediately. Lieut.-C
Sumner, of the Eighth cavalry, has
been ordered to report to Gen. Miles at
Chicago, the purpose being to place
the former in command of the column
ordered into the field. Then there
will be repetition of the scene en-
acted several years ago when the late
Gen. Sheridan massed o large band of
troops near Fort Reno, I. r., and thus
prevented threatened outbreak. The
war department propose to take sim
liar precaution against the northern
Indians, and will teach them that there
is power which they must obey"
