Between Gifu and Oqaki the ground is
said to have cracked and crevassed and
sunken in many places.
The railroad, with all its bridges, is a
complete wreck for many miles, and
numbers OF tunnels are filled. 1t will
take a month for the government to
repair and open up the road again to
traffic.
This was .he most severe earthquake
experienced in that country for forty
years.
Ia former years the japanese used to
account for earthquakes on y peculiar
theory. They supposed that huge
monster, like a fish, lived in the Pacific
Ocean to the northeast of Lokyo, and that
at times he bumped his head against the
submerged part of the main island, pro-
ducng fhe shocks. NJ. K. &.

The EARTHQUAKES In JAPAN.


VANCOUVER, b. G., Dec. 3.-Adyices
from Japan, by the Empress of China,
gives later news regarding the great earth
quake of October %. Careful figuring
now places the number of killed at 1860
and injured at 10,l20, with 1880
buildings wholly, and 2S,690 partially de-
stroyed. Over 440, 900 people have been
rendered homeless and destitute.
To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, Dec. 4.-The province OF
Mlno to the east of Lake Biwa, the larg-
est lake Of Japan, is famous for its pictur-
esque scenery. The mountains are grand
and imposing, and through it flows the
Kiso-gawa, the Kiso river, remarkable for
its rapids, its canens and rugged banks
Along the lower courses of this stream
is the center of the region shaken by the
great earthquake Of October 2S. A few
mile, from the mouth of the river is
Nagoya, city OF about 81 900 people, with
extensive trade and manufactures Of por
celan, fans, etc. Here is a famous old
castle, with its towers surmOunted by
two golden dolphins valued at 10000
Mexican dollars.
About thirty-fve miles higher up the
stream stands, or rather stood, Ogaki, a
town of something over 10000 people. A
few miles further up comes Gliu, with
about "a, 900 inhabitants. This was a
prosperous center of silk culture and
manufacture.
The, railroad from Tokyo to Kyoto
passes through these towns.
The principal shock of the earthquake
= n5r in
morning and lasted for FIVE minutes.
Thirty or more shocks were felt during
that day and night and shocks continued
to be felt for the two following days and
nights.
The disturbance seems to have been
most severe at Ogaki, where only one
building was left standing, and 1,400
people were killed. In Gifu 200 killed,
900 houses shoken down and 1000
burned. In Nogoya nearly a quarter OF
the city burned.
1t seems probable that about 1000
people were killed outright, and about
10000 houses destroyed. Hundreds of
villages were overtaken by the general
ruin.
The poor victims were crushed or
manned and bruised by falling walls and
tiles from roofs, and many were caught in
the ruins, only to be burned to death.
Many of the wounded lay from four to
six days in the ruins with no one to feed
or help them, without the aid OF physi-
clans. Doctors, both native and foreign,
went to their relief as soon as they could
reach them, but the suffering must have
been extreme.

expression of combined satisfaction and
disappointment. He was gratiied at the

eloouenee last night over the proposition
to reimburse Oliver Olson for money ex-
pended during his recent visit TO WASH

Larkin made strong arguments in favor
of the promp payment of the amount,
while Aids. Corken and Kennedy were
for letting it lay over one meeting to as
certain if the railroads had done all that
they would in the matter of defraying
expenses. When the motion was put
the prevailing sentiment was that the
city pay the bill if the railroads refuse to
| meet it.
Mr.. Olsen explained that the council
owed him nothing. That while he
had gone as the official representative oil
the city bearing an endorsement from the
mayor as such, he had entered into nc
contract whereby he COLD present any
claim upon the city. Nevertheless hs
had expended 800 over and aboge the
amount given him BY Fred Hsss for ex-

proper that this amount be paid him BY
the city.

the aims of the organization. Prof
Griffith rendered vocal solo 10 a superb

delivered touching address.

held in Indianapolis on Nov of the

campment held at Independence hall in

time Gen. John A. Logan wss elected
communicative He spoke of the
vicissitudes the order encountered in the
way of declining strength and being ac-
cused of being political organization
until 1869, the clause prohibiting political
discussions at its meetings was adopted
and from this time on, the order gained
in strength until today it numbered 1000
posts and nearly half million men. He
said that tae G. a. r. did not keep the
sectional hatred existing between the
north and south. that it was done
by politicians that the Grand Army
was the first to respond with money to
the yellow fever sufferers in the south
and those at the Charleston earthquake,
and that the G. A. r. has done more to
secure pensions for deserving soldiers, and
exposed more fraudulent claims than any
other source in the country. He then
paid glowing tribute to the memory of
Gen. John A. Buford. tracing his career
as soldier of his country, and meriting
his reply to the governor of Kentucky
when, at the breaking out of the war,
that gentleman told him he could have
anything he wished, He replied that he
was captain in the Z. S. army and that
he expected to remain one. He closed
his address by saying that the influence of
the Grand Army for loyalty and good
government was more potent than any
other in the land.
The choir then sang the Star Span
gled Banner. after which Rev. Marquis
spoke of the good work done by the Pres.
byterian church during the war, and of the
feelings of a boy when seeing the soldiers
leave for the front. Miss Lucy Coyne fa-
vored those present with charming vo-
cal selection which wss well received.
William Jackson followed with few
appropriate remarks which were inter-
spersed with some hits that occasioned
considerable merriment, after which the

ercises were at close.

Injustice to Brides.

One Of the most unpopular features Of
the railroad schedules which have long
prevailed here is that they almost prohibit
brilliant dressing at weddings.
The custom Of the day is for newlY-mar-
ried couples to 60 on tours to spend
the honeymoon, and the ruling fashion is
to 60 North. The early hour in the eve
ming at which the train leaves here gives
no time for full-dress wedding and recep-
ton or for change from bridal white to
travelling gray or brown, and hence the
girls are almost compelled to be married
in travelling costumes.
We have heard Of no intention of en-
gagged couples to invoke the law-making
power against the railroads or to strike
against this wrong, but we know that some
of them feel much sggrieved that the
company is not more considerate of their
wishes.
It is the business Of all brides to look
lovely and they usually succeed, but the
time-honored orange blossom and dress of
white better enable them TO fulfil expec-
tations, and publicpo demands that in
corporated companies should throw no
obstacles in the way.
1t may be that if waited upon by COM
mittee OF prospective brides, the railroad
officials would change the schedule or at
least on the occasion Of fashionable mar
riage run Q special train, at suitable hour,
from Richmond to Washington.
If the modern systems of transportation
are to Danish full-dress weddings there
viii be number of people whom We know
who will vote in favor of the restoration
Of the stage-coaeh and the canal-boat.
As the result of an instructive discussion
which has been going on in our columns
for some months, we think we foresee a
great number of weddings, and the rail-
road-men would dowell to effect an under
standing about the bridal train before the
compliments march out against them with
overwhelming numbers and resistless re-
sources.

A widows Marriage License.

To the Editor Of he Dispatch:
Your generous disposition shown in an
swering all questions submitted to you
has prompted me to submit the following
for your opinion Miss A, OF this city,
contrary TO the wishes of her parents was
married. in Washington city at sixteen
wears of age. At seventeen years of age
she became q mother, and at eighteen
wears of age became a widow. At nine
teen years of age she desires to marry
again. WouldSshe have 60 show her pa
rents consent in order to procure license
under the laws of Virginia, notwithstand-
ing the fact that she herself is a mothers
Respectfully, ANXIOUS.
It would seem from the wording Of the
following (section 2218, chapter 100, Code
of 1887, page 555) that eproof of former
marriage of either of the parties intend
inc to marry would be sufficient to do away
with the consent Of the parent or guardian
of such party, 50 far as the question of age
is concerned:
"Section 221s: When consent Of parent
or guardian necessary; how given. II any
person intending to marry be under
twenty-one years of age, and has not been
previously married, the consent Of the father
or guardian, or il there be none, OF the
mother Of such person shall be given"
&c. &c.
In many cases, however, it may be found
q more difficult task to provethe first mar
rage than to get the consent of the parent
or guardian to the one afterwards contem-
plated. The first marriage being proved to
the satisfaction of the clerk, who under the
law would have to issue the license, it
seems plain that he would be authorized
under the above section to issue such Ii
cense if all the other requirements of the
law (such as the lady's residence and the
age Of the gentleman) we're complied with.
