RUIN AT SAN SALVADOR.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Property De-
stroyed by an Earthquake.

stroyed by an Earthquake.
SAN SALVADOR, Sept. lO.-Mllllons OF
dollars worth of property and many
lives were destroyed in this republic by
earthquake Yesterday. Whole towns
we're wiped out, and so far as advlces
received here indicate hardly city IN
the country, except those along the
coast. escaped the awful effects OF the
CONFUSION.
At lust five minutes before ? o'clock
in the morning the earth began TO
shake. The wave had strong vertical
and oscillatorv movement. The scene
was terribly sublime. Men, women
and children were shrieking and pray
ING in the streets; walls of houses
cracked, tottered, and fell; there was
deep, continuous rumblifg as OF heavy
thunder; the sky was overcast, ana
the air was filled with q fine, penetrat-
ing dust. While the shock lasted the
earth rose and fell in long waves and
strong men were unable to keep their
feet. The panic-stricken mob Hooked
to the open ground outside OF the clly'
temporary shelters were thrown up
wherever possible, but nearly all the
men and great many of the women
and children had only the sky for q
cover.
The towns throughout the country
have suffered more severely than
the capital even. Analaquito and
Comasagua were destroyed. Cojute-
peque, Santa Trela, San Pedro,
and Masahuet were so badly
shaken that they are practically ruined,
while the shock was plainly felt and
damage was done by it at Santa Anna
and Susimtepeque, fully sixty miles
from here.
At this writing the loss of life is not
known, but it is believed to be heavy.

ALCOHOLIC GINGER 1NEBRrErY.

According to the Philadelphia Times, what
it calls the "ginger habit" Is becoming serl-
Gus addition to the ordinary alcoholic inten-
perancein that city. Itappears that Jamaica
ginger, which contains large percentage OF
alcohol, during the past few months has
been extensively sold by many druggists Toe
drinking purposes. One physician. Dr.. Mac
Connell, is reported as saying: THE tlncture
Of ginger can be bought for about five cents
an ounce. It contains fully ninety -hve per
cent. of alcohol. so that in an ounce OF ginger
there is more than two ounces OF wElsky:
He adds. "The way il is now being USED is
amazing. know physician, man very
prominent in his profession, who died only
Short time ago from the effects OF ginger
drinking" He also mentions druggists
store where young girl came twice to nus
knowledge recently, buying each time TWO
ounces OF ginger. The uygist told him sne
had been in twelve times that day. HE knew
that her mother and sisters drank it, but 1t
had not occurred to him that he should re-
fuse to sell it to her. This same physician
was called some time ago to attend woman
who admitted she was i'll the habit OF drunk.
ing sixteen ounces day, and 1t appears that
the majority of these Jamaica ginger Gus
toners are women. The Times urges that
there should be legislation against the mas
criminate sale of Jamaica ginger, the same
as there is against indiscriminate sale OF
other alcoholic drinks. Added to this legis-
lation there should certainly be better eau-
cation OF the Philadelphia public concerning
tle beverage use Of alcohol ltseir In auy

TERRIFIC STORM IN TEXAS.
HaiIstones Big as Eggs, and Two
People Blown From a Buggy.

The heaviest hail and wind storm that ever
visited that section occurred at Gainesville,
Texas, on recent night. Hailstones fell as
large as hens eggs and to the depth of several
inches drifting in many places foot deep.
Trees were stripped Of their foliage, and the
young fruit was swept fl ON the limbs. Car
den and field vegetation is badly damaged.
Scarcely house in the city escaped with
whole window glass.
In the adjacent country the wind was as
destructive as the hail. Large numbers Of
dwellings were blown down, barns were
wrecked. and orchards and forests were laid
waste. Fowls were killed in great numbers
by the hailstones, and wild birds on the
prairies were slaughtered by the hundreds.
Cattle and horses were blown into wire
fences, and many Of them were killed out
right.
Hal Finnie and young lady while driving
in buggy to church near Era, Texas, were
picked up by the whirlwind and carried sew
eral yards, the young lady falling in wheat
field aud Mr. Finnie lod ging on a barbed
wire fence. He sustained serious injury, but
the young lady was only slightly hurt
A large Baptist church was blown down
in Era, and mauy other buildings suffered
similarly. Many persons were seriously
hurt by the blowing down of the houses in
which they were at the time of the storm,
but so far nobody has been reported as
killed. The stretch of country covered by
the storm is twenty miles long and about the
same in width

FROM THE TOMB.
A Family Bible Found in a Coffin
Furnishes Needed Proof.

A curious story Of the preservation Of
records in tomb has been developed at Chi
cago ILL.,, in connection with the discovery Of
the inheritance Of fortune. Mrs. Sidney
Hendricks, of that city, has been informed
that she has fallen heir to- 81 000. 900 from the
estate Of an uncle long since dead Isaac
Phillips, from whom the estate descends, was
born May 2, 1885, at Easton, Mass. He went
South in 1913. engaged in the slave trade and
accumulated large fortune. OF this he de-
posted the cash in the Manhattan Bank of
New York City, and invested the rest in land
at Long Branch, and in Holeston, S. c.. and
in houses aud lots in Baltimore The cash
now in the Manhattan Bank aggregates S.
OO0,0O0
He died in 1884, his wife and only child
having previously died. In 1871 the heirs
began to search for facts to prove their right
to the property. On an application to the
courts to compel the Manhattan Bank to dis
close al the facts relative to the deposit with
that institution, the court held that the heirs
must first furnish exact information as to
the time and place Of Isaac Phillips death.
This they were unable to do, and the matter
dropped.
The next thing was to get an authentic
record of his birth. twas finally discovered
that the family Bible Of good old Baptist
Deacon Phillips, 1saac's father, had de-
scended to Isaacs brother. Jacob, and that
1t had been buried in the coffin with Jacobs
daughter, Susanna, on June 4, 1865, in the
Washington Street Cemetery ut Easton.
Permission was obtained from the &electmen
a few days ago to open the grave. The fam
lily Bible was found somewhat decayed. but
with the record still perfectly legible and fur
nishing the missing link.
The fortune is estimated at s6, 000, 900, Of
which Mrs. Hendricks is heir to one-thlrd,
the other heirs being her two brothers, Will.
