TOWNS WIPED OUT
Awful Destruction of Property
 by an Earthquake.
MANY LIVES LOST IN SALVADOR
Men, Women and Children shrieking and
 Praying in the Streets

Walls of Houses Cracked, Settled and Fell.
 The Panic-Stricken People Flock to the
 Open Ground--President Ezeta Trying
 to Stop the Panic and Care for the
 Homeless.
 SAN SALVADOR, Sep. 1O.-Millions of dollars worth of prope' ty and many lives were lost in this Republic by earth quake yesterday.
 Whole towns were wiped out, and so far as advices received here indicate hardly city in the country, except those along the coast, escaped the awful effects of the convulsion.
 At just five minutes before two o'clock in the morning the earth began to shake. The wave had a strong vertical and oscillatory movement.
 People rushed into the streets in their night clothing, and, while the shock lasted only twenty seconds, before it had passed away there was a panic-stricken mob making it's way to the open country outside of the city.
 The scene was terribly sublime. Me n, women and children were shrieking and praying in the street; walls of houses tot tered and fell. While the shock lasted the earth rose and fell in long waves and strong men were unable to keep their feet
 The panic-stricken people docked to the open ground outside of the city.
 The inhabitants are afraid to return to their houses and are making them selves as Comfortable as possible in their temporary camps until the commotion subsidies. &~;a=
 President Ezeta is doing everything he can to stop the panic and care for the homless people until it is considered safe far them to go back to their homes.
 The towns throughout the country have suffered more severely than the capital even. Analquito and Comasagua have been completely destroyed.
 It is impossible at this writing to form any idea of the number of lives lost
 The loss of property will run well into the millions.

YOUNG WILSON'S DOWNFALL

Philadelphia's Embezzling Bank TeIler'I
 Friends Don't Desert Him.
 PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 10.-The friends oi Paying Teller Williams of the Produce Bank, who was arrested yesterday on the charge of embedding about $3,000, ara 10th to condemn him too severely. They believe he was led into disgrace through bad associates, and that most of the money was spent i9 making it pleasant for others.
 One of the bank officers speaking of the affair said:
 I've did not suspect anything wrong with the young man, but few days ago during one of our regular examinations it was discovered that Wilson was short $2, 800 in his accounts. When confronted with the proofs of his guilt he did not deny the charges, but said he had been led into evil by dissipation and gam bling on the Gloucester races.
 ''We have nothing to do in the arrest and criminal proceedings, as we are amply secured by a bond of $10, ,0O0 of the American Surety Company of New York, who are the bondsmen of the young man, and I suppose they are also amply secured. The dedication is the result of small peculations, which were easily discovered when the books were examined y

JULES CREWS DEATH.
The Announcement Came Somewhat
 Suprise in Paris.

OupT1S6 HI
 PARIS, Sep 10.-The announcement yesterday afternoon of the death of M. Jules Grevy came som ewhat as a suprise although he was far advanced in years, yet it was thought that he was enjoying usual good health.
 The ex-President was born at Mont-sous Vaudrey, in the Jura, August 15, 1807 was educated in the College of Poligney, revolution of July, 1880, and was em- ployed to defend accused Radicals. He became a member of the Constituent As sembly in 184S, was on the Committee of Justice and Vice-President of the Assem- bly,, and proved his ability as a speaker.
 M. Grevy re-entered the Assembly in 1869, and was chosen its president Feb. 19, 1871, resigning in April, 1878.
 He was again made President of the Chamber in 1876, and was returned from the Jura several times before, on Janu ary 30, 1876 when Marshal MacMahon had resigned the Presidency of the Re public. M. Grevy was elected to this office for the term of seven years.
 President Grevy was reelected Presi dent, but resigned in 1887, on account of the notorious Wilson scandal in which M. Grevy's son-in-law was proved to have been connected with the sale of State decorations, the revelations reacttng on the Elysee with most damaging effect. In this matter M Grevy was known to be quite beyond any charge but his desire to shield his family and his dis inclination to act vigorously, caused him to be much blamed.
 Since that ex-President Grevy has lived the quiet life of a country gentleman, of which he was always fond, and has not meddled in politics in any way.
