A MONO LAKE EARTHQUAKE.
IL Sets Hnystacks, Woodpiles and Freigh
Wagons WnItzinR.

II Sets Hnystacks, Woodpiles and Freight
Wagons WnItznR.
San Francisco CALI
The southern end of Mono Lake was con-
siderably agitated last Sunday, says the
Homer hadeI, and dwellers on that shaky
locality were much perturbed. Steam was
issuing from the lake as far as could be seen
in sudden pufs, and the water was boiling
fercely, like bean-pot. while huge waves
rolled up on the beach and receding left the
sand smoking. In moment the air was
thick with binding hot sulphurous vapor,
and subterraneous means and rumblings
made the witness think that old Nick was
holding high carnival down below. The
fences wobbled up and down and sideways,
the woodpile at Nays Ranch locked arms
with big freight wagon and waltzed around
the barnyard to the dismal bellowings of
the dismayed cattle and the shril neighing
of terrified horses.
This appalling fracas lasted about two
minutes. Then came blessed quiet for a
moment, followed by sudden twitch of the
earth, as horse jerks his hide aud dislodges
bothersome fly. The shock threw men and
animals off their feet with bruising violence,
but it was the wind-up of the entertainment,
which Mr.. Nay hopes will not be soon re-
peated.
1t was some hours before the lake ceased
to emit columns of steam, and the water be-
came very hot. Two springs near the house,
long noted for the coldness and purity OF
their water, changed their character and
spouted hot mud for two days, when they
flowed cold water again. A stack of 200 tons
OF hay was moved 20 feet south without dis
arranging it.

IT WILL INJURE NEW YORK.

The Result of the Order Regarding Goods
Shipped in Bond.
OTTAWA, ONT, September Is. - The
recent order of the United States Treasury
Department that all goods bonded for
Canada must be corded and sealed, excites
much adverse comment on the part of
Canadians who import ship goods in bond
through the United States. When pack
age reaches the United States frontier the
customs officials place cord around each
package and affix the customs seal thereon,
making charge of 10 per cent per package.
This order, it is thought, if persisted in,
will check importation via New York and
the shipment of goods from Ontario to
British Columbia.

NEW YORK, September ia meeting
of some 80 members of the Foreign Fruit
Exchange was held this afternoon for the
purpose of protesting against the early en-
forcement of the new tariff law. Resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted, to the
effect that it was the sense of the meeting
that the early date fixed by the Senate for
the tariff bill to take effect October y
would work great hardship among mer-
chants and importers, and asking that the
date be set not earlier than November l.
Also that the date set for the removal of
goods from bonded warehouses be postponed
al least one month.

BLOW AT THE GAS TRUST.
Bill to Forfeit the Chat ters of Chicas o
Companies is Filed.


CHICAGO, September 16.-A bill to for
felt the charters of the Chicago Gaslight
and Coke Company, the Peoples Gaslight
and Coke Company, the Consumers Gas
Fuel and Light Company. the Consumers
Gas Company. the Equitable Gaslight aud
Fuel Company, of Chicago, and the Chicago
Gas Company was filed this noon in the
Circuit Court Clerks Office by Corporation
Counsel Hutchinson, on behalf of the city
of Chicago as complainant The charge is
that they illegally combined under the title
of the Chicago Gas Trust, the name of
which was subsequently changed to the
Chicago Gas Company, for the purpose of
surpressing competition and creating a
monopoly, with the result that the city and
individual consumers are charged exorbitant
rates.
The court is asked to forfeit the charters
granted by the city to the four companies
and the trust; to set aside the transfer of
stock from the four companies to the trust,
and to perpetually enjoin the companies
from further exercising and enjoying the
privileges granted by the city.

settled question as yet. The patented
boxes, with crank, alarm, registering, num-
bering and stamping arrangements, which
cost so much, will not, it is thought, re-
ceive the enveloped tickets, much less hold
the great bulk they will make in precincts
where the vote runs up to 500 or more, yet
the law compelling the use of these ma
chimes, which have been demonstrated to be
useless as checks on fraud, remains on the
books, and it is hard to tell what will be
done to overcome the double difficulty.
