FORTY KILLED.
Later Details From The Earthquake Shock
at San Salvador.

NEW YORK, Sept. II. - The Herald's
cable dispatch from San Salvador says:
The details of the terrible earthquake
shock, of which cabled you on Wednes-
day, prove it to have been more disastrous
than supposed. In this city about forty
people were killed and sixty more or less
seriously injured. There is no telling to
what extent the mortality list will reach.
but judging from the fearful results in San
Salvador the number of killed throughout
the country Will be somewhat in the hun
dredS. While the alarming reverberations
were going on it was an utter impOs>ihility
for any one to keep footing. From all the
houses the unfortunate dWe!lerS issued on
all fOurs amid a cloud of dust, while show
ers OF tile and plaster kept falling all about
them. The air was filed with ag0nZing
Ehrieks. Merchants lost heavily through the
destruction of fragile goods.
Details Of the ruined towns in the axis of
the earthquake are very mea ger. or 800
houses at COmasagua only eight remain
standing. The loss of lie there was great.
News came by telegram yesterday that the
waters Of the lake were growing warmer
and had fallen three feet up to o'clock
this morning, when they rose again, reach
ing seven teet above normal level by 6
O'Clock this evening Nobody slept last
night as all were expecting another violent
shock. Fortunately nothing unusual hap
pened.
The panic has now nearly subsided. al
though families are sleeping IN tents in their
yards, or houses in public parks or in the
streets. Earthquakes, by turn feeble and
violent, continue at irregular intervals.
Everybody expects the climax to come on
September 2st, on account OF the equinox,
as experience shows that phenomenon ex-
erts great influence on local earthquakes 1t
is not unlikely that this city will be made
total wreck. The Government has sent 800
men to deepen the outlet to Lake Hopango,
in order to diminish the amount of water in
it and reduce the violent shocks. Some
workmen engaged in digging the outlet
we're carried away by wild torrent Of
warm, ill-smellng water and drowned.

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.
It Is Frustrated by The Bravery Of the
Cashier.

ST. LOUIS, Sept ia special to the Re
public from Ef1ingham. ILL.,, says: This city
was the scene of bank robbery to-day at
noon that almost rivals the exploits OF the
Younger Brothers. There was a soldiers
reunion, and while the streets were lined
with people two desperadOes stepped
into the First National Bank, and present
ing revolvers at the head of Cashier Par
fridge, demanded cash. The cashier. starting
as if to comply with the demand. hastily
stepped behind the safe door and yelled for
help. He was unarmed, but was brave
enough to stand his ground, thus
shielded from the robbers weapons.
AT this unexpected turn of affairs one of
the robbers sprang over the private entrance.
the cashier being covered with revolver.
and, grabbing what money he could, sprang
out and the two escaped. All this
occupied but a few seconds, and pur-
suit was quickly made. Hundreds of
people started In pursuit before the robbers
got out of sight, but as they we're armed
they kept the pursuers at bay with their
weapons. At last they were completely sur
rounded and, seeing escape was impossible,
they threw up their hands and surrendered.
Excitement was at fever heat and had
the robbers fired single shot they would
been promptly lynched. The money Sc
cured by them, $500, was also recov-
cred, it being found in the coat-pocket
of one OF the desperadoes. They gave
their names as William McGuire and
O'Neal and are strangers here. Had 1t not
been for the bravery of the cashier and the
fortunate position of the bank door, they
would have succeeded in robbing the bank
with hundreds of people passing to and
fro in front of it. The cashier
had a revolver in his drawer, but
could not get at it. At the time the robbers
nr,ta ha htt I1ty nod 90 in " n
and saw the muzzlcs of two revolvers con-
fronting him. Cashier Joseph Partridge
Jr. is only 20 wears of age, and his bravery
prevented big robbery.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-ODonovan Rosa
publishes in his paper. the United Irishmen,
this week some correspondence he had with
the State Department, relative to passport
he wanted guaranteeing him freedom from
arrest in Ireland and which was refused
him. In answer to Rossa's first letter As
sistant Secretary Wharton Of the State De-
partment sent passport in the usual form
to Rosa, incl0sed in letter, in which he
said: "The department cannot furnish you
with passport in any other form, and can
not give you a guarantee against arrest in
foreign countries on criminal charges"
Rosa wrote back that he understood there
was treaty between the United States and
Great Britain which stipulated that an
American citizen could not be held in
prison in Great Britain for any political
records OF acts of his in this country, and he
wanted to know whether such protection
was afforded an American citizen or not
He received the following reply from the
Assis Secretary: 81 have to state that
there is no arrangement of any kind in
force between the United States and Great
Britain on the subject to which your letter

special to THE MORNING CALL.

Boston, Sept 1.-THE Boston and Maine
Railway have made most important cap
ture of railroad thief and the citizens OF
Wells River Junction, vt, have sensation.
Travel through New England to and from
points in the White and Green Mountains,
the Thousand Isles, Lake Champlain and
Canada has been enormous, and nearly two
thirds have gone by the Wells River route.
Since it began the Boston and Maine, Ver-
mont Central and Concord and Montreal
roads have been receiving complaints by
the wholesale from people all over the
United States and Canada that their bag
gage had been broken open and robbed
while en- route over their several lines. An
estimate Of the plunder taken already foots
up to S25,000, mostly in jewelry and finery
From the first the work seemed like the
efforts of an organized gang of thieves.
and since the 1st OF July the best
detectives of the various companies have
been working in concert with the Pinkerton
Agency in the matter. Every employe of
the three roads was investigated without
effect, until one of the PinkertOns heard a
remark passed between two passengers on
a train that young Mrs. Barry of Wells
River wore more diamonds than any woman
he ever heard of whose husband only got
$50 per month salary. "Do you mean Bag
gage Agent Barry's wife?" he asked.
YES" said the passenger.
WORKING THE CLUE.
This was their first clew, and has
tening to Wells River the detectives
watched Mrs. Barry, who several nights
later went to the theater elaborately
dressed. A detective followed. and, sitting
beside her, detected in her hair one of the
diamond pins described as having been
stolen from a Chicago lady's baggage. A
search-warrant was procured and Baggage
master Barry's house searched. 1u it was
discovered some $4,000 worth of diamonds
and gold jewelry. Barry was at once ar
rested, and confessed that he had been rob-
bing baggage that had passed through the
junction when it was transferred from the
Boston and Maine to the Vermont Central
Railroad. He intimated that at two other
points transfer agents were dealing with
him. Much of the jewelry he had sold.
His only excuse was that he dearly loved
his wife, and wanted to supply her with
diamonds as they became her so we'll.
Barry is only % years old, Sunday school
teacher, comes of highly respectable par
ents, and has ever been looked upon as one
of the lights of the town. Mrs. Barry ac-
counted for her diamonds by saying that a
relative had left her money. The railroad
company will recover all the jewelry posi-
bic, and at once send a printed list to all
the victims Of rObberies throughout the
country,

Production Of Wagner's "Lohengrin" Post
poned Through Anti-German Feeling
PARIS, Sept. II. - The long expected
much discussed and possibly dangerous pro-
ducton Of "Lohengrin" at the Grand Opera
House, set down for this evening, was post
poned, according to the announcement made
to-day, ON account of the illness of Van
Dyck, the tenor. and the opera of Robert
lie Diable" was selected as a substitute opera.
The general opinion, however, is that the
management and the municipal and other
authorities of Paris were seriously alarmed
at the threats made by the Chauvinists and
consequently they abandoned the produc-
ton Of the Wagnerian opera. The man
ayers, however, insist that they will produce
'LohenGrin" on Monday should Van Dyck's
health permit. 1t is known there has been
serious trouble at the rehearsals through
the presence there of Nine. Wagner and her
son. There Las also been discomfort among
the orchestra, and menacing letters have
been sent the managers and conductor. The

front and declare that French feeling has

ED1soN's NEW INVENTIONS.
New Mining Appliances Exhibited at the
Electrical Congress.

Electrical Congress.
NJ oNTREAL, Sept. 11.-Great interest has
been manifested here in the new Edison
electric mining appliances exhibited at the
Electrical Exposition. The most striking
of these is the electric percussion drill,
which will bore at the rate of three inches
per minute in the hardest granite. 1t re-
Quires but little power to operate and can
be worked any distance from the dynamo to
q limit of three miles. The drill is very
simple in construction, having no moving
parts except the plunger, and nothing that
will be affected by moisture. The device, 1t
is said by experts will completely revolu-
tioniZe mining work.
The next in Importance is the diamond
prospecting core drill, designed for locating
mineral deposits. 1t will bore $50 feet into
the earth, bringing out specimen Of the
mineral for the purpose of determining its
yalue. Some have likened this drill to the
mythical "dvining rod" which was sup
posed to indicate the location of minerals.
The Edison drill certainly resembles such
an invaluable instrument. Aside from
these are exhibited electric coal drills, elec-
trc h oists. electric fans and electric pumps,
showing that Edison has turned his atten-
ton in earnest to mining work. and many
are expecting marvellous results from this
branch Of electricity in the near future.
A GRAND BANQUET.
A grand banquet in honor of the dele
gates to the International Electrical
Convention, now in session in this
city, was given last night. 1t was a
great success, nearly 500 guests being PRES
ent. The Queen, President of the United
States and Governnr-General Of Canada
were toasted. Lord Stanley made the speech
of the evening. He welcomed the delegates
to Canada in behalf of the Government,
and expressed the hope that the flag Of the
United States and that of England and the
Dominion would long float side by side in
amicable unity. He trusted this gathering
could be the forerunner of many others.
The Electrical Convention adjourned to-
day to meet at Buffalo next spring.
