AN EARTHQUAKE IN PENNsYL
VANIA.

HUNTINGTON, Pa, Dec. ga very
perceptible shock of earthquake was
felt in this section yesterday morning
between three and four o'clock, lasting
only a few seconds and apparently
moving from southwest to northwest.
The shock was sufficient to awaken
many from their slumbers.
BEDFORD, Pa, Dec, &c. -RepOrts
from various parts of this county indi,
cate that yesterdays earthquake lasted
eighteen or twenty seconds. In many
places houses were shaken to such an
extent as to seriously alarm the in
mates. The shock appears to have
travelled in a southeasterly direction
and was the most perceptible to those
persons who live near the mountains.

FINANCES.
A Deficit in the Municipal Treasury of
Nearly 100000.

CHICAGO. Dec. 27.-The Eveming
Post to day says: All the information
obtainable regarding the city's financial
condition tends to show that the deficit
in the municipal treasury amounts to
nearly 50, 000, 900. An expert report
to ~this-efect will be submitted to the
city by Mayor Swift to night, but it is
incomplete. The investigation of the
c~omptroller's Office by an accountant
shows that the ofice has been woefully
mismanaged, and that it is next to inn
possible to ascertain the facts. As far
as the expert has been able to examine
the books an actual shortage of So, 600,
600, about 81, 500, 900 more than the
first estimate of the deficit, has been
found, and it is more than probable
that other debts will be found when a
more thorough examination Of the ac-
counts has been made.

A Fight Between Whites and Blacks Ii

Excitement.
excitement.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 26.-It is
rumored at Leesburg, afew miles from
Wildwood, the scene of race trouble,
that the whites advanced on the blacks
early this morning and that several
negroes were killed and others of both
parties injured. Owing to the remote
ne ss of the community, details are hard
to get. Another rumor has it that Ira
Smith, who was wounded last night,
has since died and that another white
man was wounded.
SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. ga special
to the Morning NeUS from Tampa,
Fla, says: Acting under instructions
from Governor Mitchell, the Tampa
Rifles, forty-two strong, left on the 8
o'clock train today for Wildwood to
aid in quelling the negro riot. The
Governor also ordered a special train
from Ocala to that place to convey the
Rifles of that city to the scene of the
riot. The latest news from Wildwood
is to the effect that fifteen negroes were
wounded, four killed and four cap
tured.
WILDWOOD, Fla Dec. 26.-The negro,
Abe Lambright, who shot Ira Smith
last night, together with five other
negroes, who were in the fight, were
arrested this morning and lodged in
jail by Sheriff Chapman of the Lees
burg Rifles. There was considerable
firing from the Rifles before the arrests
were made, at least seventy-five shots
were exchanged. Several negroes were
slightly wounded, Isaiah Ryan, col
ored, was killed last night but was not
reported dead until this morning.
Three of the supposed leaders of the
riot, Coleman Lambright, JEFF. Mccall
lister and Anderson Brown, are now
in Jail here. Jesse Lambright, the
negro who started the difficulty with
Rube Caruthers, is still at large. Ii is
not definitely known how many ne
groes were killed last night and this
morning. The negro Abe Lambright
shot before being arrested this
morning.
It seemed for a while that Abe Lam
bright would be lynched, but a grand
mass-meetiDg of the white citizens was
held to protest against lynch law and
to advise peace and compromise. Rev.
MI Mason, Col. I. e. Barwick, and j.
Il. Curry, made earnest speeches to
the crowd advising moderation and
supremacy of the law. The crowd was
quieted and apparently satisfied to
permit Sheriff Chapman to take charge
of and remove the negro prisoner, Abe
Lambright, to Tavares jail, which he
did under The protection Of the Lees
burg Rifles.
At this hour everything seems to be
quiet. There are about fifty white
men under arms. Tic was reported this
evening that negroes were organizing

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
Reserve Keeps Getting Lower.

Mona Accounts Which Ought to be
Paid are Postponed Because Of the
Depleted Condition Of Uncle Sans
Pocket Book.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Treas
ury net balance today declined to the
low figure OF $88, GA, O96, of which $685.
O24, 796 is in gold and s., 889, 300 is in
currency. This is the lowest point
every reached by the Treasury, but
each successive day only makes it
lower. At the beginning OF the fiscal
year the net balance was 1922, 500, 900,
and at the commencement of Deem
Der it was $95, 900, 900.
Little hope is entertained that re-
Ceipts will increase to any material ex-
tent during the next few months.
January is the heaviest month in the
year for Treasury expenditures. Nearly
$4,000, 900 of interest will have to be
paid during January, besides a con-
siderable amount iof sugar bounties
aside from the ordinary expenses of
the government, which include pen
sions. With these heavy disburse-
ments in sight and receipts continuing
to decline, experts at the Treasury
hgure a net loss for January of - or
Is million dollars, leaving the net bal
ance, February 1st, not over $176, 900.
Many accounts, it is stated, which are
que and should be paid, are suspended
or postponed because of the depleted
condition OF the Treasury. This class

A Chicago Couple Hurry to Their Ill
Sons Bedside On a Chartered Train.
CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-FrancisJ J. Dewes,
a well known and wealthy Chicago
broker, and Mrs. Dawes, went south
for a short trip last week, leaving their
14year- old boy in their home at North
Hoyne avenue and Rice street. The
parents arrived in New Orleans on
Saturday evening at 7:35 o'clock.
While on their way south the boy
became i'll, and the physician at once
recognized d~iphtheria. The family
doctor ~telegraphed to the hotel in New
Orleans at which Mr.. Dewes and his
wife stopped, advising them to return
as soon as they could.
Mr.. Dewes chartered a special train,
and the run of 915 miles was made in
twenty-five and a half hours, about
four hours faster than the fastest
limited train that runs between the
two points. The sloWest time made on
the run was about thirty three miles
and the fastest seventy miles an hour.
The train arrived at the Central station
at 1:5O a. m. on Monday. A carriage
was waiting, and Mr.. and Mrs. Dewes
at once drove to their home.

THIRD TRIAL
Of the Swindler Howard at Nashville,
Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 28-The evidence
in the third trial of the celebrated
Howard case at Jackson, Tenn, has
closed and the argument in behalf of
the government was begun this morn
ing. It is estimated that twenty hours
will be consumed in the five speeches
to be made, and that the cas- will not
reach the jury before Saturday. The
trial has been in progress three weeks
and many witnesses from England and
various parts of the United States have
been examined, including ex Minister
Lincoln and ex-Consul General John
@. New. The government has made
out a very much stronger case than it
did on former trials, and it is thought
that the Rev. DIR. Howard has been
conclusively proven to be identical
with VIM. Lord Moore, Of London.
and with Messrs. Ledger and Ross, of
New York, who were engaged in the
fraudulent business of collecting alleged
English legacies for American claim
ants.
