Sheriff Heron arrived in the city to-
night with the younger Harcourt, of
Seney, who killed the notorious dive
keeper Dunn at Trout lake this after.
noon. Dunn was acquitted last week
of the murder of the elder Harcourt at
Seney, and his brother threatened to
kill him on sight. The two met at Jack
Twins place, Trout Lake, where Dunn
was drinking at the bar. Harcourt en-
tered, and on seeing Dunn, fired five
shots into his back, killing him almost
instantly. Harcourt was Immediately
arrested by Sheriff Hefferon and
brought here. The murderer expressed
no regret for his deed. On the contrary,
he seems gratiied at avenging his
brothers death. Rival dives at Seney
caused all the trouble, and more is ex-
pected from the friends of both Dunn
and Harcourt, who belong to the dive
keepers class, and always go prepared
to shoot.

There was a report that the Bessemer

PERRY PLUGGING HIMSELF.
An Upstart Correspondent Airing
His COnceit.


WASHINGTON, July 26.-Last Sunday
a Washington paper published a para
agraph to the effect that Col. Perry S.
Heath, the Washington correspondent
of the Indianapolis journal and other
Western papers, had sent out reports
of the serious illness of Mr.. Blaine at
the instigation of Secretary HalfoTd,
who was supposed to be acting in be-
half of the president. The charge was
sensational and was without founda-
ton. as could have been learned by
single inquiry. Mr.. Heath was absent
from the city at the time the dis
patch was filed, G. A. Hamilton,
of the Brooklyn Times, who was
left in charge of Mr.. Heath's
work during his absence, was
summoned from the city suddenly for a
day. and before his departure he asked
another correspondent to duplicate any
good dispatches he might have to the
Omaha Bee, one of Mr.. Heath'S papers.
The dispatch about Blaine, filed orig
inally for another paper, was duplicated
to the Bee. 1t did not appear in any
other Of Mr.. Heath's papers. Neither
Mr.. HalfOrd nor Mr.. Heath knew any
thing about it. Mr.. Heath was very
much embarrassed by the incident, es-
pecially in view of his close relations
with the president and Secretary Hal
ford. The following statement from
Col. Heath effectually disposes of the
whole matter, so far as it has any con-
nection with him.
The statement which has recently
been published to the effect that have,
as the instrument of President Harri-
son, through Private Secretary Halford,
or anybody else, or at the request of
any one, or have upon my own motion,

WASHINGTON, July 26.-It has long
been supposed that Galera, village in
Peru, 15, $50 feet above the sea, was the
highest inhabited place in the world.
Mr.. Arthur Fearce, an engineer who

are even higher. These are Vichar-
rayac, 1880 feet, and Muccapata, 16,
15S feet and more above the sea level,
each with a population of miners aver
aging 200 the year round. High as
some of the points are on the Panama
Galera tunnel is the, summit,
that road will be surpassed by
a narrow gauge road. now under
construction to connect with it. This,
when completed, will have a length of
seventy-fve kilOmeters and mean al
titude of 1850 feet. In one Of the
mines a tunnel is being drilled at
higher elevation than Galera, which,
when completed, will be fully as long,
if not longer, than that tunnel. This
work is being done by means of COM
pressed air brakes, and the tunnel is
lighted throughout by electricity. The
work comprises several moving camps,
each in itself a center. The concern is
one of the two largest mining concerns
in the world under private proprietor
ship and management, If, indeed, 1t IS
not the largest. To facilitate the work
five centers are connected by telephone
lines, passing over two SUBMITS of more
than II 900 feet each, the mean height
of the lines being over 10000 feet.

Shocked by an Earthquake.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 26. - The
most distinct shock OF earthquake ever
felt here occurred at S:2S this evening.
1t was preceded by a rumbling noise, re-
sembling distant thunder. A moment
later violent quaking occurred. lasting
several seconds. The motion was lat
eral, apparently from north to south.
Windows ratified and buildings swaved
perceptibly. The populace fed in af-
fright into the streets. Every open store
in the business center and private resi-
dences were emptied of their occupants.
Congregations at all the churches rushed
pellmell into the streets without wait
ing for the benediction. Serious panics
occurred at several churches. At the
First Baptist a number of children fell
down the steps and were hurt; none
dangerously. No fatalities have yet
been reported.

burg and other Southern Indiana points,
with places in Northern Kentucky, eX-
