LONDON, Nov. 2. The Times cores
pondent at Niogo says of the earth
quake:
The convulsion was so tremendous
that no Trustworthy estimates of the
havoc done is procurable. The wild
est statements as to the number of
killed are current, but so far there is
no evidence that it exceeds 5000. The
chief fatalities were at Ogaki, where at
least 900 persons were killed, chiefly
by the falling of buildings. But both
at Ogaki and Gifu many perished by
fire. The principal shock lasted less
than two minutes but was'Of extreme
violence. There was no subsequent
shecks strong enough to do damage in
ordinary circumstances. but they suf-
feed to shake down walls already
cracked and added immensely to the
terrors of the night. Even to this day
slight shocks continue at irregular in
tervals.
The total destruction of bridges and
railroads over long line of country
paralyzes all ordinary business and
prevents trustworthy news frt m reach
ing the capital. Great fisslres have
appeared in the ground at many
points rendering the roads impossible.
Travelling in any direction is danger
Gus. A striking feature has been the
subsidence of the land to some depth
over large tracts of country. From
the towns of Ogaki, Kitogata, 1chi-
nomijs, Tifaguna, Kiyonsu, Kamatsu
and other places chiefly along the
comes the news of great destruction OF
: property. Nagoya suffered to less
extent, although there the damage is
serious. The volcanic mountain Ma
kusan belched forth enormous masses
of stone and continuous streams of
sand and mud, and the contour of the
mountain has been completely changed
by the eruption.
Great distress prevails in the de-
strOyed towns. The government is
embarrassed in its efforts to afford re,
lief by the prevailing panic and the
absence of meaus of communication.
Bishop Bickersteth announces his
safety. The loss of European life is
small, but business houses have suf-
fered heavily.

Awful Calamity.
TERRIBLE Loss OF LIFE.
Osaka, With a Population Of $4,000,
Wrecked Hundreds Of Its Citi-
ZelS Crushed to Death---LOSS
Of Life and Property
Appalling.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.- Dispatches were
received here this evening from Japan,
announcing that telegraph wires be-
yOnd HiOga and Osaka were down. 1t
was added that there had been an
earthquake az HiOga, and the rumOr
was ctirtent That = i gfaiair q afsfOtn1e eOS,
property had been destroyed. and
that the loss of life had been consider
able.
HiOga. Is a seaport town of Japan,
on the island of HondO, and is situated
about ~ miles by rail from Osaka.
HiOga is fine harbor at the head of
the gulf OF Osaka and is adjacent to
Kobe, 1t is lighted with gas and has
q number offine public buildings, in
cluding town hall, custom house
and government machine shops. The
seaport referred to has an extensive
foreign and cOastwise trade and a
population, in 1884, of about 10000
souls.
Osaka is also on the island of Hondo
and on the sea, 81 miles southwest of
Kisto, to which place, as well as to
Hiogo and Kobe, railways have been
built. Osaka has large foreign trade,
arsenals, a great castle, machine shops,
D city hall, mint, college and an
academy, and is traversed by canals,
over which are more than l 1,l00bridges,
some of them of iron. This city has
many theaters and other places of
and it also has 300 places
of worship. In point of size it is the
third or fourth city in Japan, but in
social affairs, fashion, commerce and
industry it takes the first rank. Osaka
has five newspapers, hundreds of
schools and population, according to
the census of 1884, of about 100000.
A private telegram, dated Hioga,
received in this city tonight, confirms
the report conveyed in former tele-
grams that a disastrous earthquake
shock has occurred in Japan. This
telegram says that a severe shock was
experienced at Osaka, and that the
destruction, both oflife and property,
was very great. So severe was the
shock that a number of houses were
thrown to the ground and many Ofthe
occupants were caught in the falling
buildings and crushed to death. A
large number of persons succeeded in
escaping from their tottering homes.
only to meet death in the streets, to
which they had fled for safety, from
the falling debris. There is no means
at present of estimating the total loss
of life; in fact, the details of the catas-
trOphe are very meagre, as the
telegraph wires are broken in the dis
tricts affected by the falling of the
poles, which were thrown down by
: theseismic disturbance.
The above mentioned private dis
patch, however states thatit is known
that iYgOsafsa al0ne. the fttHhalistn ncoAQ
tains the names of 300 residents of that
city.

DISTRICT COURT.

Civil Proceedings Had Before the Two
Departments.
A. M. Thornburg won his case yesterday
in the district court against II. s. Fish.
The jury were six days listening to the tes-
timony of a good many witnesses. Wallace
and Thornburgh who were agents for Fish
in the sale Of two lots brought the suit
against him to compel the specific perform
ance of contract. While he was in Michi-
gan some time ago Fish instructed his
agents to sell two lots belonging to him on
Broadway in this city. The sale was made
but Fish refused to execute a deed for the
property. On the trial of the case it was
sought to establish that there was some
thing irregular about the sale. There was
also . contention as to the price to be paid
per front foot for the lots. The case was
we'll fought on both sides. In their special
been sold at their full value. The lots are
now in the possession OF Dr. s. q. Baldwin
and Hon. A. II. Nelson, who have built
their residences IN the ground.
The time of department No. 2 of the
district court was taken up with IN appeal
case Yesterday from Judge Fleischer's court.
DR.. Baldwin sued G. H. Finley for $96 for
medical attendance. Finley brings in a
counter claim for $41 for work lone on the
plaintiffs house. A jury heard tho testi-
mony and retired with instructions to bring
in a sealed verdict.

The Butchers Explain

HELENA, March 25.-To the Editor of
THE INDEPENDENT: An editorial in the
Journal of this morning in reference to the
formation of an association of butchers, is
very misleading, and must have been writ
ten without any inquiry as to the facts.
For a number of years the retail butchers
of Helena have suffered considerable loss,
owing to the fact that many people whom
they trusted failed to pay their bills. So
bad has this become, that one man out of
every ter who ia trusted by the butcher,
beats his bill. In consequence, the man
who pays for his meat really helps to pay
for the meat of the man who does not.
Recently the butchers held a meeting at
which 1T was decided to form an a~ssocia-
ton, it's object to be to supply the people
of Helena with only the best meats, and at
the same time render it impossible for a
dead beat to get meat unless he paid
cash. In order to encourage home
industry, it was also decided to treat with
the wholesale butchers for furnishing the
retailers with meat, thus doing awav with
the necessity OF individual retailers send
ing abroad. The result of this meeting
was that the Helena retailers AVE agreed
to buy all their supplies from the two
Helena Wholesale concerns, the Helena
Meat company and the Montana Packing d
Produc company, these concerns agreeing
to furnish only the best meats. There is
nothing in the agreement which will pre-
vent the wholesalers from selling to any
retailer. There will be no increase in
prices, the probability being that in a little
while there will be a Reduction. The
Butchers association Ia not a trust, but an
organization for protection against dead
beats.
