A LOST CHILD FOUND.
SHE HAD BEEN WANDERING IN THE
MOUNTAINS FOR TWO DAYS.

The Little One Is Discovered After Many
Hours Tireless Search Asleep Under 8
Tree-Joy of the Mother on Recovering
Her Girl.
SHAMoKIN, Sept. 1O.-[SpeciGl. ]-Annie
Kerns, 10 years old, after being in the
mountains for two days and nights, was
found to-day. On Tuesday morning Annie
went into the yard and didn't return. Mrs.
Kerns became worried, and asked
neighbors about the child. No one
had seen her. The mother was
thoroughly alarmed when the men returned
from the mines. Everybody on the square
Joined in a searching party. All West
Coal township heard about the missing girl,
and parties secured all the places where it
was thought the little one might be.
This morning the Kerns were beginning
to think that the baby of the home had
been killed. During the morning a crowd
started to explore the mountains, and by
nightfall there were 1000 men, women and
children, with packs of dogs, going over
hills and valleys, streams and thickets.
Word was sent to the nearby town of Trev
erton, and men from that place went into
the Gap Mountain and started toward
Shamokl1. They met wood-chOpper, who
said he saw a little girl playing on the
shores of a brook early Wednesday morn
ing. She was barefooted and said her name
was kerns. She was on her way home. He
left her playing with the leaves and making
mud-puddles in the sand.
The brook was visited, but the child was
not there. One hundred yards off and near
the base of the cliff was found piece of a
dress, which was recognized as Annie's. A
few miles from the brook John Murray
found the child. She was sound asleep un-
der big tree. Her face bore marks of
suffering, and her legs were bruised.
Her chubby feet were blistered, and her
lips were blue from cold. Murray awakened
her. She looked at him vacantly and cried:
"Will mamma whip me:'' When asked how
she got lost, Annie could not say, for her
mind had been temporarily unbalanced by
her suffering.
Murray took her down the mountain.
When Mrs. Kerns saw the crowd bringing
Annie up Spruce street she cried for joy. 1t
was glad return and the men cried with

AT Point Breeze, near Philadelphia, yes
terday morning, a fire broke out in a paraf-

LONGEVITY OF ATHLETES.
Excessive Training Seems to Shorten Rather
Than Lengthen Life.


Did it ever occur to you that athletes are
rarely long-lived? asks Peter j. McNally,
the athlete and trainer of Boston, in the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat BY athletes 1
mean the folks who are training themselves
continually for special feats of muscular
teur who exercises slightly, comparatively
speaking, and then with only the object of
physical development. 1t is my opinion
that as a rule the professional athlete is not
q very good risk for the life insurance peo-
pie. And this aside from any risks OF phys
ical injury of sudden nature to which the
athlete in the course of his performance
stump you if asked you to name dozen
cases of extreme longevity among
men who have been famous for
their muscular power and skill. But any,
body can name q dozen people who have led
sedentary lives from boynood and attained
extreme old age.
Very strange as it may appear, consump-
tion is disease to which the swimmer, the
oarsman, the runner and the fighter have all
on numerous occasions fallen victims.
rheumatism is another common disorder.
All of which sometimes makes me think
that nature never intended the development
of the human physical energies to the point
at which they are often observed. The ath-
lete who lives the longest is the man who
used to be an athlete and gave up his ath-
letic fancies and plans before he had reached
middle life. Otherwise, you ind that the
average of years on earth of athletes is sur
prisingly low.

sALvADoR's THIRD DESTRUCTION.
A Great Earthquake Destroys Much Prop
erty and Many Lives.

n Ore1t destroys MUCH ETOp-
erty and Many Lives.
SALVADOR, Sept l0-Whole towns in this
Republic have been leveled, and millions OF
dollars worth of property and many lives
destroyed by great Earthquake. Scarcely
a city or village escaped the visitation.
There have been indications for several
days past that 4 seismic disturbance of
more than usual power might be expected.
The volcanoes of San salvador, San Miguel
and Izalco have been usually active and
deep subterranean rumblings and slight
earth tremors have been felt. At 1:5j o'clock
this morning the earth began to shake. The
wave had strong vertical and oscillatory
movement. While the shock lasted only
90 seconds, before 1t had passed away there
was panic-5tricken mob making its way to
the open country outside of the city.
While the shock laste the earth rose and
fell in long waves, and strong men were un-
able to keep their feet. The panic-stricken
people fiocked to the open ground outside
the city. Temporary shelters were thrown
up wherever possible, but nearly all the
men and a great many OF the women and
children had only the sky for Il cover. All
through the morning there have been slight
shocks, but none approaching in intensity
that which had been so destructive. Presi-
dent Ezeta is doing everything he can to
stop the panic and care for the homeless.
Only two lives we're known to be lost in this
city, but it is feared that other places did
not escape so easily. This is the third time
within 40 years that San Salvador has
been practically destroyed by earthquake
shocks.
In April, 1854, not single house was left
in the city that was left fit for habltation,
and over 200 lives we're lost The dust and
debris from falling buildings filled up all
wells and drinking places. Again in March,
1873 the city was shaken to the ground. Over
5000, 900 worth of property was destroyed
then, and upward of 30 lives lost.

AN OIL WE'LL In A LAKE.
THE SUCCESSFUL CLOSE OF A RE-
MARKABLE EXPERIMENT.

st. Mary's Reservoir, the Largest Artificial
Body of Water in the World, Soon to
Bristle All Over With Derriclks-A Prop
osition From the Standard.
ST. MARYs, O., Sept. 10.-[ Special. THE
Mars Oil Company, with James Knoppen-
berger, the famous oil king, at the head,
yesterday drilled their No. l on the Stearns
lease, the we'll being located in the big res
ervoir about 600 feet out into the water.
The derrick, shed and engine house are sup
ported on high posts, and the workmen are
conveyed to and fro by means of a boat
built expressly for that purpose. A sub
stantial and water-tight board wall is built
around the derrick to prevent the oil from
getting into the water.
The we'll was shot Yesterday evening,
every precaution being taken from getting
the least bit of oil into the greatest artificial
lake in the world. Accordingly, the shot
was let down into the well while the derrick
was tightly boarded mp and q huge block
anchored down within six inches of the
casing head TO keep the crude from shooting
through the derrick into the water. Wesley
Mcdonald, State Marshall, was sent here by
the Board of Public Works from Columbus
purposely to see how the experiment
worked, this being the first instance in the
in ten feet of water. and in company with
A. S. Doll, Frank Konley and THE DISPATCH
correspondent drove out to the reservoir to
see the well shot. To say the experience
WAS successful is putting 1t mild.
The well is a good one, and work is being
commenced on one about 10 feet distant.
There is not the least shadow of q doubt
that the territory beneath the reservoir is
one Of the most valuable for Oil production
in the world, as there has been large gush-
ers struck on both sides of the water, the
south side.. however, having Just been
opened lately. Since drilling will be per
mitted in the reservoir the activity will be
something wonderful, as operators have
dozens of big producers located on the
waters edge only waiting the opportunity
of getting out into the water.
Your representve has it OH good authority
that the Standard Oil Company has made
the State fiattering offer for lease of the
reservoir at 100000 cash bonus and a large
royalty, and that the State was in n fair way
ready to consider the proposition. Should
its proposition he accepted, it would at once
construct huge tank boats to convey the oil
from its wells in the reservoir out and down
the Miami and Erie Canal. Should the pro
ject be a go, it would make the already
famous st. Mary's oil field the center of at
traction throughout the United States.

An Arab Who Got Too Much Makes Circus
for His Acquaintances.
Gentlenan's Magazne.I
The old Latin proverb tells US that the
chief tendency of mankind is to go wrong.
One day in the town of Souk-AhraS, an
Arab went wrong. The Arabs, being Mo-
hammedans, are all total abstainers. 1 con-
fess that their being such does not recon-
mend the practice-that is, if we are to
associate total abstinence from alcoholic
liquors with their peculiar ways of life.
dare say this particular Arab broke his
pledge That was bad enough - but to
break it during the Fast of Ram
azan was worse. He may have
taken very little, perhaps not
sufficient to have made cabman happy;
but it got into the only sort of head he pos
sessed He reeled, he was drunk-during
RamazaD! Old and young men, boys of
every age and calling, Immediately gath
cred around him and would have lynched
him. At least 800 people howled and
hooted after him through the sinking
streets. 1 formed a better idea of the
Arabic language for cursing man on that
occasion than had done before. Billings
gate is nothing to it!
A native Arab policeman came up with
whip as long and strong as an Australian
stockman's. He not only cracked it as
loudly, but kept ring within the crowd as
large as that of circus. Within this
charmed and protected circle the Moham-
medan sinner retreated unassailed.

Grave Charges of Bribery Brought Against
Cincinnati Prison Officials

CINCINNATI, Sept. 10.-The escape of Burglar
Anderson, which is now fully understood to
have been effected by bribery, is causing no
end of excitement through the threatened
confession of Sanderson, which will disclose
the guilty men. The matter is also becom-
ing mixed up with campaign politics by
reason of assertions that Republican officials
are delaying Anderson's confession In order
to screen Republican bribetakers until after
the election.
One Indictment has been found against
Cal Tucker and his name has been the only
one so far mentioned, except that of NJ. L.
Hadden, Assistant County Solicitor 1t is
said he had key made, which was intended
to be lost by Anderson to make 1t appear
that he unlocked his own door. To-day
Hadden rendered his resignation until he
could vindicate himself. County Solicitor
Spiegel'refused to receive it, but relieved
him from duty pending investigation.
