saIvador,s Third Destruction.

SALVADOR, Sept. 10.-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 seismic disturbance of more than
usual power might be expected. The vol
canoes OF San Salvador, San Miguel and
Izalco have been unusually active and deep
subterranean rumblings and slight earth
trsmors have been felt. At 1:55 O'Clock this
morning the earth began TO shake. The
wave had strong vertical and oscilatory
movement While the shock lasted only
% seconds. before it had passed away there
was panic stricken mob making its way to
the open country outside the city.
Willis the shock lasted the earth rose and
fell in long waves, and strong men were
unable to keep their feet. Temporary shell
tiers were thrown up wherever possible, but
nearly all the men and a great many of the
women and children had only the sky for a
cover All through the morning there have
been slight shocks, but none approaching in
intensity that which had been 50 destructive.
President Ezsta is doing everything be can
TO stop the panic and care for the homeless.
Only two lives were known to be lost in this
city. but il is feared that other places did
not escape 80 easily. This is the third time
within 40 years that San Salvador has
been practically destroyed by earthquake
shocks.
In April, 1854, not a single house was left
in the city that was ht for habitation, and
over 300 lives we're lost The dust and debris
from falling buildings filed up all wells and
drinking places. Again in March, 1873, the
city was shaken to the ground. Over 1000
600 worth OF property was destroyed then.
and upward Of 80 lives lost.

Two Big Vessels colIio..

LONDON, Sept. l3.-The steamship Arizo-
na, of the Guion Line, which left New York
on Saturday, September 5, for Liverpool, ar
rived to-day at Queenstown in battered
condition, sftsr perilous voyage across the
Atlantic. Early on the morning Of the 9th,
while The Arizona was sieaming rapidly in
4 fog, an unknown vessel, believed to be q
large coasting schooner, collided with the
Arizona The shock was very great and
aroused the passengers from their beds.
For time the greatest excitement reigned
until it was found that the steamer was not,
as many feared, about TO go to the bottom.
The stem Of the schooner struck the Arizo-
mas port quarter. Thirty feet Of the rails
Of the steamship deck were carried away
and q life boat smashed. The deck was e1n-
sidersbly damaged and several plates Of the
vessels side we're badly indented.
While the extent Of the injury TO the
steamer was being ascertained life belts were
prepared for the use of the passengers aad
every preparation possible made for the ssE
ing OF life in case the steamship should
prove 8 wreck. Fears of such a catastropts
were. however. soon allayed, though it VS.

and caused her to founder. Part of the bow
spirit of the schooner remained on the Ari
zona's deck, aud other wreckage indicated

An Ugly Runaway.

Ths Fulton Democrat says that DR.. W F.
Trout and Miss Lizzie Long drove out TO the
doctors farm, west of town, on Monday
morning in an open wagon driving young
horse. About II O'Clock they were about
to return home. Miss Lizzie was in the We
hicle, the doctor was about to get in, when
the horse started. Doctor having hold Of
the reins tried to check the animal, when
both reins broke throwing him violently to
the ground in front Of the buggy, the wheels
passing over him, the horse running at a
terrible rate overturned the buggy on the
fence and dashed Miss Lizzie against it so
violently, head first, as TO break the lower
rail in the fence, the horse freeing himself
from the vehicle, ran down the pike to town.
There being no one near al the zine, the
doctor gathered himself up, receiving but
slight bruises, although his clothing was
frightfully torn. hurried to where the young
lady was lying tightly wedged under the
fence, with terrible cash cut on the right
side Of her head, in apparently iifeless con-
dition. Upon investigation it was found
she was in an unconscious state and being
ertricated from her perilous situation was
Efied and comfortably placed in spring
wagon and driven to the doctors residence
in town, where she has remained in a semi
unconscious state ever since.

The P.nnsylvanIa Platform.


From the y. y. Mail and Express-
The Pennsylvania Democratic State Con-
vention met on Thursday, the 81 inst, at
Harrisburg, and followed blindly the blind
leadership of William F. Hsrrity. The
ticket previously prepared BY the Secretary
Of State was adopted without question, in
Guiding Robert E. Wright, of Allentown, for
Auditor General, and A. L. Tilden, Of Erie,
for State Treasurer.
The most conspicuous feature connected
with the proceedings of the convention was
that all party principles and policies were
forgotten in the general rejoicing over the
downfall of Republican official The all
important tariff snd silver issues were strad-
died and practically ignored, and out of
twenty-five planks in the carefully prepared
platform, some thirteen were entirely de-
voted to the anathematizing and execrating
of . recreant public official, simply because
he happened to be Republican.
The only issue in Pennsylvania, 50 far as
the Democrats are concerned, is John Bards-
icy, and the only reason assigned by them
why the Republican party should be defeat
ed in the approaching election, IS the fact
that John Bardsley was elected to Office by
the Republicans. If this is correct method
of argument, and legitimate conclusion,
then by the same logical process the entire
system Of Christianity should be abandoned
and Jesus should be condemned and dis
czrded, because Of the fact that Judas
Iscariot was appointed by Christ to the
apostolic Office.
While the Democrats are fuming, frothing
and Illuminating in convention against this
unfortunate and unfaithfuI official, the gen.
ersl public will not fail to remember that 6
councilmanie committee controlled by Re
publicans, ably and promptly assisted by
Republican Mayor, secured the necessary
evidence against him, and that subsequently
prosecuted him, and that finally a Kepubli-
can Judge severely condemned and sum
marily sentenced him.
Thus the Democrats can take no credit in
the proceedings against John Bardsley, and
their theatrical display of indignation will
fail Of its intended effect, and will only re-
act against themselves. Such assumed Dem
oc7atic sensitiTsness on the subject Of virtue
is gross insult to their record, and is only
calculated to produce laughter among the
gods"

HARRIsBURG, Sept. 10.-At meeting OF
be Executive Committee Of the Pennsyl va
mia Worlds Fair Commission to-day, il was

DisoountIng Defeat.

From the \. \. Pres
The free traders are already TO discount =
Democratic defeat in Ohio by craftily pro-
claiming ths; if the Rspublicans win it will
be on the fight sgsinst debssed coinage and
not on the tariff. The tariff, they contend,
has been relegsted to a secondary place.
In view Of the fact that the Republican
candidate for Governor in Ohio Is the Hu-
thor Of the Mckinley law, and its earnest
and always uncOmpromising champion, the
suggestion that Republican victory in
Ohio viii not be Tariff victory would be too
impadent for any bat Nngwump to offer.
If the Republicans should be defeated in
Ohio the result would be proclaimed and re-
echoed as q victory for free trade, not only
in the British free trade newspapers on this
side Of the Atlantic, but in every organ Of
foreign manufacture il England and on the
Continent. Even the Chinaman on the hills
OF bis native Human would hear that Ameri-
can protection had received & blow, and
would grin in unison with the laughter Of
London. A victory of the Republican party
in Ohio will, il is true, be q victory for sn
honest fall value dollar with which to pay
the wOrkingman's wages, and a rebnke to
the Democratic proclamation in favor of q
seventy-four cent dollar. Bot it will also,
and emphAticaliy, be victory for the prin-
ciple Of protection for the American work
ingmAn's industry against the cheap labor Of
Enrope.
