TWO EARTHQUAKES

Portland and Omaha Get a Shaking UP
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 3-Quite a severe
shock of earthquake was felt here at
1920 o'clock tonight, lasting for several
seconds. The shock was felt more Sc
verely in the vicinity of the Grand
Central hotel and the police station. A
large bank of earth was loosened by the
shock nd toppled over on a two-story
frame house occupied by S. ii. Green, a
saloonkeeper with his wife and two
children. The house was crushed i'm
and the family buried in the debris.
The women and children were rescued
with but slight injuries, but Green was
pinned to the floor by a heavy beam.
When rescued it was found that he had
received serious internal injuries. The
house will have to be torn down. In
other parts of the city the shock was
felt but up to midnight no further acct
dents had been reported to the police
PORTLAND, Feb. "A severe earth
quake shock occurred here at $3.50
o'clock tonight. Brick buildings
swayed and windows ratified, terrifying
the inmates, who in many instances
rushed into the street. The shock
lasted about thirty seconds and was
probably the most severe earthquake
ever felt in this city. As far as known
no damage was done.

Bad Railroad Wreck

A special dispatch from Tii1in, o.,
says: A disastrous wreck occurred on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad a few
rods west of North Baltimore depot at
s o'clock Wednesday morning. A
limited express train of three cars car
rying no passengers, was ditched by a
broken switchrod, while running at
the rate of fifty miles an hour. The To-
connective and tender were crushed into
scrap iron, the cars telescOped and val
liable express matter strewn promiscu-
ously around. The body of Engineer
James Manuel, of Munett, Ind, was
iammed three feet into the earth be-
meath the firebox and removed at 8
O'Clock with his back broken and neck
nearly severed, Fireman Hampton, of
Garrett, Ind, was wedged in by the
tender and fatally scalded. AS the
whole thing occurred in a second,
neither could save himself without
jumping. Express Messengers w, ID.
Callahan and l.. Gray, of Chicago,
were in the forward car and miracu
lously escaped with a few bruises. Con-
ductor Lewis and the brakeman were
the rest of the crew and were impris-
oned in a ear for time but uninjured.
Part of the express matter included
s., 900 worth of silver bullion consigned
to the Philadelphia mint The switch
bar was held together by mere thread
and was evidently brok IN by the pre-
ceding train. The dead and injured
were taken to Garrett.

WHO GETS THE REWARD
Two Claimants to a Portion of Thoma
Jefferson's Hard Earned Wealth

Two Claimants to a Portion of Thomas
Jefferson's Hard Earned Wealth
The question of who is entitled to the
reward for the capture of George Swi-
loOs, the murderer of Moses YOunkins,
promises to be a hard matter for the
sheriff to decide. Thomas jefferson is
the man with whom the sheriff did the
business and from whom he received
the captured Indian.
The portion of the reward offered by
Sheriff De Lorimier, $780, was for the
unconditional capture of the murderer
and the money is TO paid Monday next,
if a decision can be reached regarding
who has the proper claim on it.
A man giving the name of Alfred
Hazelton, of Blaine, called on the sher-
iff Yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of registering his claim to a third of the
money, and threatened, in case his
rights were not recognized, to put the
now idle injunction into use again to
prevent the payment of any portion of
the promised reward. He says that an
Indian known as Big John and him
self were equally concerned with
Thomas Jefferson in the capture of
George and the reward, if paid, must
be divided into three equal parts.
Sheriff DeLorimier has understood
that Big John was i'm some manner a
sort Of residuary legatee in this matter
with Thomas jefferson, but that there
was third man, and a white man,
too, who had any claim on the 5000 was
a surprise, and an investigation of his
claim will be made.
The reward of $3.50 offered by the
city of New Whatcom, and the $500 of
fered by the county commissioners, will
not become payable until the convic
ton Of the murderer, meanwhile the
question Of who to pay it to viii doubt
less have been decided.

THE LOST ELDER
Visitors at the Custom House Reminded
of the UnluckY German Steamer


Deputy collector REILLY has pic
ture of the steamship Elder, in his of
flee, which he expects to drape with
Grape if the efforts now going on to save
the original fail in their purpose.
The picture of the unlucky craft
shows her steaming before fresh
breeze on a moonlight night, and burn
ing Coston night signals in reply to sig
mails burning on another ship of the
same line, which is distant several
miles and steaming in an opposite di-
rection. This unlucky, steamer now
pounding herself to pieces, with small
hopes of being saved, on the rocky
shores of the Isle of Wight, was one of
the finest of the North German Lloyd
fleet sailing between New York and
Bremen, and was patronized by the
most wealthy class of European travel
ers. She was comparatively new ship
of 5000 tons with engines of Z, 900 horse
power. Latest advices from the scene
of the wreck report that the Bank of
England, to which the larger part of
the 50, 500, 600 in gold which she carried
belongs, has agents aboard the wreck
who have succeeded in transferring al
most all of the coin, and hopes are en-
tertained that every dollar will be
saved

In long article on "The Real Jay
Could" the New York World tells how
the great Spectator got control OF Erie
and relates his desperate devices to
keep control of that great property.
There was a big block OF the stock held
by Englishmen, but Gould could not
find out who they were. At this point
begins the remarkable story which fol-
lows:
A sw1SD1ER GETS s2,7Oo,OOO FROM GOULD.
Gould was constantly worrying about
the Englishmen across the ocean who
could not be got at, whose lawyers could
not be- bribed, and the things which
those bull-headed Englishmen might do
were always n bugbear in his mind. He
plotted and schemed constantly, trying
to find some way of overcoming the con-
slant menace to his supremacy. At last
he thought he saw his way clear to lay
ing the English ghost which haunted
him. In the fall of 1871 gentleman
Of quiet appearance with very fine
manners had appeared at theland Office
OF tho Northern Pacific railroad, which
was then building through the efforts
Of Jay Cooke &c Co. This gentleman
was an able swindler. The absolute
ease with which he swindled Gould
givesa most curious insightinto Goulds

LORD GORDON prsaoRarg.

Belden saw Lord Gordon, whose
rooms were at the end of the hall. He
informed him that hemight be lord
and he might not. Mr.. Gould thought
he wasn't and wanted his money and
stocks back. ''Ii you refuse to give up
the mouey and securities" BeldeD said
to Gordon, "wc shall try to take them,
and il any disturbance is made it will
result in everybody being taken around
TO police headquarters in Mulberry
street." After celebrating for while
Gordon returned tho money and secure
ties, excepting $4,000, which he had
sent to Philadelphia, He knew that
there were detectives outside OF his
room and reluctantly gave up. 1t must
have been cruel moment in the life
OF tho great man. When the bundle OF
money and securities was brought to
Gould, and the 100000 in stocks were
found to be missing, Belden went back
and got from Gordon an order for those
stocks on the Philadelphia broker to
whom they had been sent,
That particular stock was oil freight
and Allegheny railroad stock, 1t did
not occur to Gould or to Belden to get
back the document which Gould had
written making him present OF the
money and stocks. This caused Gould
considerable trouble.

THE brilliant lord GORDON.


The suave stranger said that he want
ed to buy any tracts of land that the
Northern Pacific might have for sale ii
they pleased him. Colonel LOOMS, the
land agent, was much impressed. he
was quite overcome and told that he
had the honor Of addressing Lord Cor
don, the earl OF Aberdeen. Lord Cor
don in the course OF conversation said
that his name was Gordon Gordon, but
that Lord Gordon was the proper nnme
to give him. Gordon Gordon sounded
most aristocratic and promising. Lord
Gordon wanted to buy tracts OF land in
order to plant them with crowds OF
tenants from his ancestral estates.
The delighted Mr.. LOOMS at q large
expense fitted oat caravan and took
Lord Gordon hundreds OF miles in adj
vance OF the construction over the pro-
posed route. Maps were made at the
company's expense of the proposed
towns and villages. There were
churches and shade trees on the maps,
and without ever buying any land,
Lord Gordon went to Providence with
those maps and sold thousands OF dol
lars worth OF lots in the fictitious towns
to prosperous and intelligent business
men of Rhode Island. He sold the lots
at from s, 900 to $1,000 apiece and they
we're in brisk demand.
In the midst OF his conversation Lord
Gordon had mentioned to LOOMS that
he owned large amount Of Erie stock.
Here the lamented Horace Greeley
steps upon the scene. LOOMS knew
Horace Greeley intimately and told
him all about his friend Lord Gordon.
Horace Greeley was delighted. Lord
Gordon stood for the two things which
interested him most. The prosperity
OF the West and the Erie railroad. He
had told young men to so West, he had
been one OF the prime movers in the
building of the Erie, he had assured his
readers that the number Of freight
trains he had personally counted pass
ing q certain point made Erie's future
certain and Lord Gordon delighted him.
He was man with millions to develop
the West, and who represented the
English Erie interests that might be re-
lied upon to Dust Gonld, whom Greeley
hated. Greeley and Lord Gordon met
and consulted solemnly concerning
what had best be done with the Erie
road. Greeley told all about it to Tom
Scott. president OF the Pennsylvania,
whom he trusted. Scott wanted to
help Gould, and told Gould that Lord
Gordon, who controlled great amount
OF Erie, was in America and had been
in consultation with Horace Greeley.
GOULD ovERREACHED HIMSELF.
Gould saw it all in moment. Here
was tho mysterious owner of the great
block OF stock in England whose pro-
prietors he had been unable to trace.
The stock was in the hands Of law
firm, andall effort to find out from them
who owned it had been in vain. Gould
determined to get at Lord Gordon and
Scott determined to help him. Lord
Gordon knew pretty well what was go
ino, nm and OF his conversations with

have felt that the great moment oil his
career had been reached. But he did
not show it. Ho motioned Gould to.
seat without shaking hands, and IN
every way waa very distant Gould
very soon opened the nature OF MS
business, and in few pertunctoTy
words he said inst he had done his best
ior Eric and was honest. and that he
had como prepared TO prove it and had
brought with him cash and securities
to deposit with his lordship as pledge
OF his good faith.
LORD 0oRDoN's IyDIGSATGoN.
Lord Gordon was most indignant.
How dared Gould 10 couple a money
sec urlty with moral obligation ?
Gould was humble. He only wished to
prove his good intentions and the Eng
glishman, Modified, but still distant,
allowed him 10 60 on with the parti-
culars of his proposition. Mr.. Gould
then proceeded to describe the contents
OF the bundle which he had brought
With him."
The description was calculated to
shake the ncrve OF less accomplished
swindler and to palsy the hand OF
thick-hearted brigand. II have here,
