EARTHQUAKE IN TEXAS.
The Town of Rusk, Texas, Startled About
Midnight Wednesday.

Midnight Wednesday.
f., RUsK, Texas, Jan. Sat - O'Clock
last a;Ght this. town aGd It's vicinity ex-
perlenced at least two well defined
Shocks, believed to have been of seri-
Gus nature.
Each paroXysm was accompanied by
detonation loud and long, as if trolling
from South to North. Several chimneys
were leveled with the earth, and sleepers
in various portions Of the town were
shaken into wakefulness.
J. w. McCardls, in charge Of the
County jail, a very strong structure,
declares that for fully one minute he ap-
pretended the collapse of the building.
and Thomas Miller says that the Acme
Hotel was shaken to its foundation dur
ing these disturbances.
There was no wind, though slight
rain was falling and some electrical
force was prevailing, but not OF sufii-
cicnt strength to prodCce shock. a.
few parties here who were through the
Charleston shock of 1886 pronounced
the phenomenon of last night genuine
earthquake.
GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. S.-This
morning at l O'Clock a sevare shock OF
earthquake was felt. Many chimneys
were shaken out of their plumb. The
vibrations were from South to Ne.1l
and lasted forty seconds.
A SHOCK IN OHIO.
| TOLEDO, Jan. 9.-At noon shock OF
earthquake was felt here. 1t shook
houses, ratified windows and frightened
horses. The shock came apparently
from the South and a slight rumble ac-
companled it. 1t was at first supposed
to be a dynamite explosion in the oil
fields, but telephone message by the
Blade TO all points within radius of SO
miles to the South and Southeast showed
that TO be incorrect. The shock was
about the same in its objects at all points
as at Toledo, and similar shock was
experienced all over the same area IN
the fall Of 1854.

Unions Bloody Record.

UNION, Jan. 11.-News has just reach
ed here of a murder committed in the
lower portion of this country on Tues
day night last. Warren Worthy, color
ed, was shot and instantly killed by an
other negro. The murderer and another
negro, who was in some way implicated
in the murder, have been arrested and
placed in jail to wait trial. Warren
Worthy, the murdered man, was very
quiet, peaceable negro, and the owner of
a large plantation.
Tho negro, who is now in jail awaiting
trial, was tenant on Worthy's place.
The tenant was making arrangements
to leave Worthy's place and was getting
ready to move when the murder was
committed The tenant had some cot
ton in Worthy's crib and went to Wor-
thy to get the key to the door to remove
the cotton. The tenant owed Worthy a
debt and Worthy told him he could not
get his cotton until he settled the debt.
Worthy told him that they would
make settlement then, but the negro
was not willing to make it and demand
ed his cotton. Worthy would not deliv-
er the cotton. The negro declared that
he would have the cotton. Worthy re-
piled that he would die by the crib be-
fore he would deliver the cotton, which
he (Worthy) had claim on.
The tenant left, and in few minutes
returned with gun and again demand
ed the cotton. Worthy would not let
the cotton 60. So the negro fired on him
with his shotgun.
Coroner Gregory left Wednesday to
hold an inquest over the murdered man.
This makes ten murder cases on dock
ct to be tried at the coming March Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Tbere is 10
be a renewal Of the fight over the force
bill as soon as the silver bill is disposed
of, and every Republican Senator will be
expected to vote with his party or suffer
the consequences.
This IS the substance Of an order sent
out from the force bill headquarters to-
day. The silver bill will probably be
passed on Wednesday evening, after
which there Will be general scramble
between the force bill, the pure food bill,
the international copyright bill, the ap-
portionmenr bill for the right ofway. a
large majority Of the Republicans insist
as matter of party pride that the force
bill will be pushed through at any cost,
and if the measure is taken up after the
silver bill, an effort will be made imme-
diately to adopt the gag rule.
The Democrats are not dlsmayed by
the hustling and blufing INDUCED in on
the other side Of the chamber, and they
are prepared to resist any move calcula-
ted to revive the force bill. They are
not certain how many Republicans can
| be counted on to vote against the bill,
as the partisan pressure is very strong
on those Senators supposed to be doubt
full. The two parties arc so evenly divld-
| eli that none of the leaders are willing
to make q prediction as to the result.

WE EXTEND SYMPATHY.

An astonishing lack of affairs import
ant, whether political or otherwise, no
less than present torridity of atmos-
phere which relieves us of any fretting
desire to dig into abstruse themes, is our
excuse this week for sympathizing with
Miss Hosmer of Fitchburg, Mass. And
we are the more ready to " lay ourselves
out" in this regard because Miss Hos
mer has, up to date, found sympathy a
mighty rare plant, and unless we fill the
breach in our own weak way there will
be no exception to the rule. !.
Miss Hosmer is school teacher with
high, perhaps severe, grade of moral
ideas which have been rudely shaken
and sadly mashed. She numbered among
her pupils one lad, Johnny by front han
die, who as the warm weather advanced
and strawberries receded, laid his boy
ish plans for the regular barefoot cam
paign. and on one sunny morning big
with adverse fate for the idealistic trend
of Miss Hosmer's thought, entered tie
school room sans shoes, sa4s stockinS1
and in abbreviated trousers, discontinued
at the knees. Miss Hosmer was. at first
dazed, but after reinforced view
through her spectacles reached an un-
happy though firm conclusion. Bare
feet! Bare legs! And in her, school
room? Perish the thought. The boy
was promptly sent home. Folks came
to see about it. Argument. Miss Hos
mer pale but firm in her ultimatum.
Shoes and stockings or no school. Pa
rents equally stubborn in asserting their
so-called rights. Boy jubilant and elo-
quent, his opinion being "Darn shoes
in hot weather, anyhow. Darn school,
too." Boy expelled.
The board of school authority, five in
number, were called together and gravely
deliberated, and lamentable as it may
seem, the fact remains that of those five,
but one stood by the teacher. Miss Hos
mer found only in the person of the Rev.
Sanctimonious Swan, a tower of strength.
He agreed with her that such exposure
was monstrous. But they were over
ruled and outvoted by the other four
who had possibly felt the joys of stone
bruise or sore toe in their day. The
high cause of morality wavered and died
out so far as it related to shoes and
stockings. Johnny was returned with
honors, and to-day flaunts his bare feet
before the humid eyes of the modest
world. Hence, Miss Hosmer has our
sympathy, deep as an artesian well, and
much comfort may it bring her.
