ALBANY, n. Y, May pa special to
The Press and Knickerbocker from GLOW
ersville, NY, says that at o'clock yester-
day morning the city was visited with a
severe shock of earthquake. Large build
ings were shaken, people were thrown out
of chairs and out of bed, and glass was
shattered. The earthquake was preceded
by loud rumbling sound, and at the
same moment the fire bells rang out and
the whole city turned out, the excitement
being intense. A small dwelling was
burned. Later in the morning when the
excitement had hardly subsidized, the fire
bells again gave the alarm and large
brick building in the rear of the opera
house was discovered to be in flames. 1t was
entirely destroyed. Another shock of
earthquake was felt about noon. The
shock was the most severe ever felt in this
vicinity

storm passed over this (RichlanD county
Saturday night, accompanied with light
ming and thunder. During the continuance
of the storm lightning struck the John
Charles block in l.ucas, six miles east of
this city, about o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The block, which was occupied by a
hardware and general merchapdise store,
took fire from the stroke and was entirely
consumed, together with two dwellings
adjoining. There is no fire apparatus in
the village, and the citizens turned out
with buckets, and when they saw they
could do nothing with tire flames their eff
forts were directed toward saving the con-
tents of the building.
Frightful and Deadly Explosion.
While removing the goods about fifty
pounds of dynamite which was kept in
the store exploded with disastrous effect.
Jones were horribly mangled and multi
ated beyond recognition. About twenty
five persons in all were more or less in
jured. The killed are: John Smith, age

CHER, leg severely bruised by falling from
ladder; f. Myers badly hurt, struck by
flying bricks. OF the remaining persons
injured none are considered seriously hurt.
Physicians were quickly summoned, who
attended the injured.
The Fire Put Out by Rain.
The report of the explosion was heard
five miles distant, and the shock was so
great that nearly all the windows in the
village were broken. The fire department
of this city was called upon for assistance
and the fire apparatus was put on special
train, but before they could start word
reached them that the fire was under con-
troll. Rain came down in torrents, which
put the fire out, otherwise half of the
town would have been in ruins. The
loss is estimated at s.. 900 to IS, 000

KEMMLeR's CASE DECIDED.
The New York Murderer Must Die by
Electricity.

WASHINGTON CRY, May 24.-The ques-
ton whether state can kill its criminals
by the use of electricity was decided by the
supreme court yesterday, Chief Justice
Fuller delivering the opinion, and it was
an affirmative one The court goes into
the definition of the term ''cruel and I'M
usual punishment rs used in the consti-
tuition and says it means that death shall
not be inflicted by torture, such as burning,
breaking on the wheel, ETC., but not
that death itself is cruel and unusual. A
change in the form of death is clearly
within the right of state to make. The
punishment in Kemmler's case might be
unusual, because it was new, but that did
not make il cruel.
