PARIS, Sept. 9.-Francois Jules P.
Grevy, ex-President of the French Re-
public, died to-day. Grevy for four days
had been suffering from congestion of the
lungs.
The death of NJ. Grevy was quite un-
expected. No alarming symptoms were
noticed, and no anxiety felt when he was
taken i'll.
The funeral takes place on Monday at
Mont Sons, Vaudrey, unless the cabinet
decides for funeral with public honors,
to which the deceased is entitled as for
mer President. No precedent. however,
exists for such funerals, the Theirs fam
lily having refused to permit a State cere-

first President of the republic
f. j. P. Grevy was born at Mont-Sous-
Nanary in Jura. August 10, 1913. His
first appearance in political matters was
In 1880, when he participated in the revo-
luton which drove Charles " from the
french throne. GreYy again became
prominent in l84S, when Louis Philippe
was dethroned. During the rule of Louis
Napoleon he was compelled to remain in
private life, but at the time of that EN-
peror's downfall he again to came to the
front. He was in the French Parliament
for several years, and in 1879 he was
elected President by an immense major

signed December 2, 1887, on account of

New YORK, Sept. 10.-A. M.-The Her
aid this Thursday morning contains the
following dispatch:
SAN SALVADOR, Sept. 9.-Millions of
dollars worth of property and many lives
were destroyed in this republic by an
earthquake to-day. Whole towns were
wiped out, and as far as advices received
indicate, hardly city in the country, ex-
cept those along the coast, escaped the
awful effects of the conYulsion. There
have been indications for several days past
that siesmic disturbance of more than
usual power might be expected. The
volcanoes of San Salvador, San Miguel
and Isalco have been unusually active.
At five minutes before o'clock this
morning the earth began to shake. The
wave had a strong vertical and oscilliatory
movement. People rushed into the
streets in their night-clothing, and while
the shock lasted only twenty seconds,
before it passed away there was a panic
stricken mob making its way to the open
country outside of the city. Men, women
and children were shrieking and praying
in the streets.
Walls of houses cracked, tottered and
fell. There was deep, continuous rum
bling as of heavy thunder. The earth
rose and fell in long waves, and the peo-
pie were unable to keep their feet. All
through the morning there had been
slight shocks, but none approaching in
intensity that which was so destructive.
President Ezeta is doing everything he
can to stop the panic and care for the
homeless people until it is considered
safe for them to go back to their homes.
The towns throughout the country suf-
fered more severely than the capital.
Analquito and Comasagua are completely
destroyed. Cojutapeque, Santa Tecla,
San Pedro and Masahusaso were badly
shaken. They are practically ruined,
while the shock was plainly felt and dam
age was done at Santa Ana and other
points, fully sixty miles from here.
1t is impossible at this writing to form
any idea as to the number of lives lost.
Two people were killed here. tits feared
that many people were killed in the

effect that the bill reducing or affixing
the hours of labor ought to be of a per-
missive or optional character was carried
after considerable discussion as an

ment was adopted declaring that the
