M'KlNLEY'S VIEW.
Ohio's Governor Talks Concerning the
Wilson Tariff Bill.

OhioS Governor Talks Concerning the
Wilson TarIn Bill.
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 2s-Gov Nc.
Kinley arrived in Cleveland Monday
evening. He was asked his opinion of
the Wilson tariff bill He said he had
not read the abstract of the measure,
and had only glanced through Mr.
Wilson's review OF it. He said the bill
proposed very sweeping reductions in
the existing tariffs 1t was such
measure as he had expected, yet little
more sweeping than he had anticipated.
The objectionable feature of the bill,
Mr.. Mckinley said, was the substitu-
ton of ad valorem for specific duties
That alone ought to defeat the entire
measure. The ad valorem system, he
said, rests upon the foreign valuation,
which is hard to determine, and
it puts n premium upon under
valuation frauds. All the leading ma
tions of the world, he declared, had
abandoned the ad valorem system of
levying tariff duties, for the reason
that the valuation is made thousands
of miles from any port Of entry and can
never be depended upoL.

Himself Near Seymour, Ind.
SEYMOUR, Ind, Nov. 27.-Clinton Jor-
dan late Saturday night shot and
killed Josiah Foster, his father-in-laTv,
Mrs Foster and their daughter, Miss
Cora Foster He then stabbed his wife,
who was trying TO defend her parents,
and finally shot and killed himself
Four years ago Clinton Jordan, 81
years OLD, married a daughter of
Josiah Foster, with whom he has
never lived happily. Last week they
separated and she returned to the
home of her father. Saturday night
Jordan met his father-in-law and ac-
companied him home contrary to the
wishes of the latter who feared
trouble. Jordan promised to behave,
but soon after his arrival at Fosters
home he began quarrel,
Foster then ordered him out of the
house, when Jordan fired at the old
man, but missed him, the ball strik-
ing Miss Cora Foster aged II, in
the head, killing her instantly.
His second shot hit Foster in the
head and he fell, but he soon rose and
ran about half mile to the home of
another son-in-law, William Powell,
where he fell and fingered until late
in the afternoon, when he died. Jor-
dan then turned his revolver toward
Mrs. Foster, his mother-in-law, shoot
ing her in the neck, the ball ranging
downward and causing a wound from
which she died. Jordan's wife at
tempted to defend her mother, and he
stabbed her repeatedly in the breast,
hands and face. and ended by shooting
her through the head.
Jordan then opened his vest, and
placing the revolver against his breast
sent a ball through his heart He
dropped dead, falling across the dead
body of his wife. The pistol was placed
so close to his breast that Jordan's
clothing caught fire and was literally
burned off him, the skin dropping from
his body when 1t was lifted.

SCARED BY AN EARrHoUAkE.

MONTREAL, Can. Nov. 26-At 11:47
O'Clock Monday morning this city and
the surrounding country felt the most
severe shock of earthquake that has
visited this part of the continent for
several years Buildings rocked and
trembled as il about TO be thrown down
by the percussion of some heavy explo-
sion. At first came a heaving sensation
like that Of ship over a heavy dead
swell, the buildings creaked as IL every
joint and fastening was being tested
by some awful and invisible
force, then followed dull, muffied,
deep-toned sound like that of
asubterranean explosion. The shock
was felt from foundation to turret
of the most substantially built edifice
in the city, and then came the setting
back, and for an instant it felt as if
everything was going down, as If the
bottom had fallen out of things gener-
ally and they were oollapsing There
was a moment of suspense and the
earthquake had passed
The Population Terrified.
The entire population fed into the
streets Women and children stood
terror stricken and praying. At the
same moment fire alarm and ambu-
lance call sounded and the changing of
bells and the wagons rushing through
the streets added to the general con-
sternation.
Many buildings Injured.
The water in the reservoirs rose in
great waves and several waterworks
employees were buried in 16-foot pipe
trench, but were rescued alive Hardly
building in the city escaped unin-
jured and reports of damage done in all
parts of the province where the earth
quake was felt are still coming in.
In the Country District.
In thu country district the same state
of affairs prevailed. A number of the
tiimsy structures in which the inhabit-
ants lived were blown down by the
wind, which in many cases accompa-
MED the earthquake, and the affrighted
inhabitants rushed aimlessly about,
often receiving injury. The earth
quake was most felt along the section
of the St Lawrence river between
Montres and Quebec cities A number
of casualties have occurred in the coun-
try districts, but full reports from
there have not been received 1t will
be found, however that great loss will
have been entailed on farmers.

quake shock was felt in Williamsb burg,

shock was also felt in buildings near

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
No Trace of Wrcc:sage in the Deepest of
 the Oceans Depth.

No Trace of Wrcc,age in the Deepest of
 the Oceans Depth.
 An extraordinary circumstance that has been noticed with interest and that always creates surprise when first learned is the entire absence of foreign matter in the deepest part of the oceans floor. Of all the vessels lost in mid-ocean: of all the human beings that have been drowncd; of all the marine animals that have pcrished: of all the clay, sand and gravel let fall by dissolving icebcrgs; of all the va rious substances drifted from every shore by shifting currents, no trace remains, but in their place water from one thousand to twenty-five hundred fathoms in depth covers the uniform deposit of thick. bluish, tenacious slime called globigcrina oozc, says the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
 A bit of this under a powerful lens is declared to be a revelation of beauty not readily forgotten. The ooze is composed almost entirely of the dain- tiest, most dclicately beautiful shells imaginable. At depths greater than  twenty-five hundred fathoms the bot tom of the sea consists mainly of prod net arising from exposure. for almost incalculable periods. to the chemical action of sea water, of pumice and other volcanic matters.
 This finally results in the formation of red clay deposits that are considered characteristic of the profoundest depths of the ocean. Carbonate of lime, which in the form of shells of foraminifcra makes up so large a part of the glo5igerina ooze, is here almost entirely absent.
 Soda water is very nearly universal solvent, and before any shell, large or small, reaches the bottom of these tra- mcndOus abvsms it is chemically eaten up, literally dissolvcd-a result which the enormous pressure of the water must materially hasten.
 At one thousand fathoms the weight of the water pressure on all sides of an object immersed to that depth is very nearly one ton to the square inch, or more than one hundred times that sustained at the sea level, and at the greatest depth the pressure is so in

High Wheels. Broad Tread.

between Roulette and Burtv!lle, is a hill in which rumblings of the same
 nature are heard at irregular inter- vals This elevation is called Thunder hill, and it rises from the south bank of the Allegheny river. The noises that occur in this hill sometimes make
 the earth tremble for long distance around, and they have been heard for a mile away. The theory of local say ants is that a strong vein of natural gas undcrlies the hill, and that when the great retort is disturbed by some un- dcrground convulsion it rises in its might and tumbles rocks and things around in the confines of the hill until everything huns. Still no ono has con- fdence enough in this theory to hand out the money that is being aclSed for to send a drill down into tic alleged gas cauldrOn, let out its treasure and make everybody in that bailiwicll rich.
