No Recurrence of the Shocks-Extent
of the Damage.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, April 22.-There
has been no recurrence of the earthquake
shocks in the Vaca valley, and the three
towns where the greatest damage occurred
are rapidly recovering from the effects of
the disaster. The destructive area was con-
fined to a triangle having sides ten
to twelve miles in length, with the
towns OF Vacaville, Dixon and Winters at
the angles. Some serious damage was done
few miles north of this area taking in Da-
visville and in a lesser degree the town of
Woodland. The town of Winters was the
center Of the disturbance. 1t Is a town of
l,S00 people, its main street being mostly
brick buildings. These were oil demolished
or 30 injured as to render them unsafe.
AT Woodland there are a few walls in
that town that will have TO
be taken down. A force of men
are taking down chimneys considered IN
safe. Forty four were taken down Thurs
day afternoon and the work has been going
on to-day. The only building approaching
a complete wreck is the Capitol hotel. 1t
Is now estimated that the total damage at
all points will not exceed 800, 900. The
only fatality was that Of a workman named
Wick Darby, who was injured by falling
bricks at Winters, and who died in hos
pital to-day.

on each additional $50 or fraction for the
cid Of the board. In other words the board
took upon itself authority to levy an i'm
come tax on the salaries Of teachers, which
is contrary to all known law. To render
ehe rule effective, the school commissioners
were instructed TO insert a clause to this
effect in every contract signed by the
teachers There are forty teachers in the
county and from them the board collected
over 800 in this income tax, which money,
1t is alleged, was used TO supply cigars, ETC.. I,
for the board. But there will be no more
tax on the salaries of school teachers in
Fsyette county. A copy of the boards
extortion contract was sent to State School
Commissioner Bradwell with a formal
complaint To-day the state school COM
missioner notified the Fayette county au-
thorities to puts stop TO their unlawful
practice. Col. Brsdwel also gave notice
that he would bring the matter before the

The Abbeville and Waycross Railroad
in Trouble.
ABBEvILLE, GA, April 22.-The Able
vile and Waycross railroad was placed in
the hands of temporary receiver yester-
day. The petition for the receivership was
filed by Judge d. H. Pope of Albany in be-
half of the Real Estate Trust Company of
Philadelphia, and the Abbeville Investment
and Construction Company. The latter
company are the builders of the road. The
former company are trustees in the mort
gage bond for the benefit of parties holding
bonds as collateral security for debts Of the
road.
Interest on the bonds. il is claimed, is
more than four months past due and this
seems to have been the cause of the action
taken by the petitioners for the receivership.
Dr. j. ID. Maynard has been appointed tenn
porary receiver. Col. Z. II. Cults of
Americus, attorney for the road said yestsr-
day that he thought the trouble would be
satisfactorily adjusted in a short time and
that the road would be in better condition
than ever. The prevalent opinion is what-
ever the outcome to the present trouble it
would rebound to the benefit Of the road

This els a great county for education,

a large and enthusiastic attendance. The
teachers are taking a great interest In the
county institutes which are held monthly.
About the same amount Of cotton as was
planted last year will be planted again this
year. One great difference is that the
farmers are counting on only 6 cents for
their cotton and are shaping their affairs
accordingly. They are buying less goods
on credit and much less fertilizer is being
used. The sale for fine horses, mules and
buggies has been slow aud everything shows
a spirit of economy. This spirit will be the
salvation Of the southern farmer.
