Hon. III. ID. Flood, of AppomattOx.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Indec-Appeaz, under date
of April Goth, says
Hon. H. u. Flood, member of the
Senate from the Appomattox district,
was in the city day or two ago and
told his friends it was his purpose to
make complete canvass of the 10th
district for the Democratic nomination
for Congress. His friends have already
done some organizing In his behalf. AS
it looks from Richmond, it will be diff
cult for any man to defeat Mr.. Tucker
for the nomination this year. He has
several elements of strength, not the
least of which is that he is son of
John Randolph Tucker. Mr.. Flood is
hustler, and it is not unlikely that he
will have the silent support of Senator
elect Thomas S. Martin. There is
some talk of Capt. J. H. H. Figgatt, of
Botetourt, and Senator Charles p
Jones, of Highland, entering the race,
and should they become candidates,
Mr.. Floods chances would be con
siderably improved"

ATHENS AGAIN SHAKEN.
An Earthquake Shock That Lasts Fifteen
Seconds Felt Throughout Greece
and Does Much Damage.

ATHENS, April 81, 1s94.-A heavy
shock of earthquake was felt here at
twenty minutes past nine o'clock this
evening. 1t lasted fifteen seconds.
The weekly Epitaphion procession was
in progress and the Cathedral was
crowded. The windows of the Cathe-
dral ratified ominously and several OBJ
jects tell to the floor. Women scream
ed and somebody shouted that the
building was falling. A terrible panic
was averted OF ly by Premier Tricopis'
presence of mind. He addressed the
congregation calmly, saying that there
would be no danger if they would only

sought all to be calm as they valued
the lives of their families. and then Or
dered that the doors be thrown open.
The congregation dispersed without
disorder.
ATALANTA LEVELLED TO THE GROUND.
Dispatches received up to half past
eleven indicate that the earthquake
was felt throughout Greece. The town
of Atalanta, 5000 inhabitants, which
had been but slightly injured by previ-
Gus shocks, was nearly levelled to the
ground. Two thirds of the buildings
were reduced to heaps of ruins and the
rest were badly damaged.
The destruction of Thebes was com
pleted. Not house in the town was
left standing. Lima suffered less, al
though scores of houses were damaged
so badly as to be uninhabitable. At
Lima the prison collapsed. About six
ty convicts were caught in the wreck.
The number of the dead and injured is
not known. Many of the prisoners,
however, escaped unhurt. Larissa,
Volo, Chalois and Patras were shaken
more severely than Athens. Several
walls were split and rocks were rent in
hundreds of buildings in the four
towns.
ON THE ISLANDS OF SYRIA AND SEANTE.
Terror reigns on the islands of SYRIA
and Seante. Repeated shocks have
been felt there in the last two days,
small villages have been half ruined
and hundreds of families have been
driven to live in the fields, unsheltered
and underfed. The towns of Seante
and SYRIA have not been damaged, al
though few buildings in each were
partly destroyed.
Although all the deaths caused by
the earthquakes were supposed to be
known two days ago the list is still
growing. No fewer than 800 persons
had lost their lives before the shocks
of this evening, which have probably
swelled the number. The destruction
of life and property has been far great
er than in Zante last year. The suffer
ers are hoping for aid from abroad, as
the provision made here for them is
entirely inadequate.
At Atalanta the suffering will be es-
pecially severe. The ground there is
torn and the streets are scanned. Hence
the people are afraid to seek any shelter
under the old walls and are living in
the open air 1t is raining this even
ing, and, as on the previous nights of
the week, the air is raw. The excep-
tional GOODNESS of the weather has done
much to increase the miseries of the
people.

Two Hundred and Fifty-two Persons Killed

ATHENS. April 25.-Returns received
from all the districts affected by the
earthquakes show that two hundred
fifty-two persons were killed and one
hundred and fifty injured. King
George, Crown Prince Constantine and
his son, Prince Nicholas, have returned
to Chalcis from the Atalantl district,
where they gave much money to aid in
alternating the distress among those
whose property was destroyed. Great
quantities of flour and bread and many
tents have been sent to the affected
districts. In addition to these two
hundred thousand drachmas have been
granted for relief purposes.

to day from Atalanti, Greece. the only
street of Pelii, the port of Atalanti, has
been laid in ruins by the recent earth
quake shocks and that all the villages
of the vicinity have been destroyed in
similar manner. The stricken places
include the prosperous village OF Lib
anates. where one church has collapsed
and the done of another has fallen.
The destruction caused in the vii
lagos south of Atalanti is more terrible
and the sufferings of the homeless peo-

Athens, April 30, 1S94.-The latest re-
ports from Atlanta say that on Friday
| felt there in eight hours. For two
hours the trembling of the earth was
almost continuous. For a radius OF
three and half miles ON every side oil
the town the fields and highways have
been torn with deep assures. The sea
| has encroached on the shore about
| sixty feet. Vast masses of rock have
| been loosened in the mountains anC
have rolled down into the lcwlands-
| The people were alarmed almost con
stantly on Friday and Saturday by
rumbling and loud reports under the
mountain sides.
The shore of the large island Of
Euboca, which lies off the coast o.
Bontia and at Tica, has sunk six feet
and half. The Aidipso sulphur
springs are emitting torrents of boiling
| water.
Dispatches from all parts of the
Kingdom indicate that former reports
of death and damage to property have
understated the losses. The list of the
dead and injured grows hourly. The
misery in the smaller towns of the
stricken districts is extreme. Hun
dreds who were prosperous house
holders before the earthquakes are
now without food or shelter for theil
families and are beginning to cry fol
help. The government continues to dc
all in it's power to relieve the suffering
but the burden is beyond its means
and scores of families are already OF
the verge of starvation. One hundred
thousand persons are said to have beer
left destitute of food and shelter in tht
Lecris district alone.

THEY WE'RE READY.-The prompt
acceptance by the democratic Senators
of Senator Aldrich's proposal to vote on
the Wilson tariff bill last Friday was
not followed by a vote because the re-
publican leader ''backed out" as soon
as he saw his offer was accepted, but
the incident showed that the demo-
cratic Senators are at length ready to
act and to forego some of their individ-
ual preferences. This is welcome de-
velopment. Now that unity is secured
Senator Harris will be able to bring
the minority to terms. There will be
obstruction. Senator Hoar says the
people ought to be consulted next No
vember before a vote is taken on the
bill. Senator Hawley thinks there will
never be fit time to vote on a bill
which, he says, will destroy the indus
tries of his State. Evidently considera-
ton for the movements of such oppo-
nents is wasted. This will become
palmer and palmer during the coming

body some way will be found to cut OBJ
struction short. There are several ways

Morgan at Opelika the other day
LET no Democrat fall out of line be-
cause he is mad at Tom Jones, Grover
Cleveland or John T. Morgan. Bury
them all if you wish, but do not sacri-

The principles of the Democracy are
eternal. They are sound. They are
right. Therefore they go on forever
Notwithstanding that bad men seek to
bring them into reproach by turning
the machinery of the party to private
and corrupt purposes. Kick the men
out who do the wrong. Throttle them
and throw them overheard. They are
pirates at heart--they would scuttle
the old ship for plumber. The cause of
Democracy is the cause of liberty in
America and all good men should up
hold it with all their strength.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.-A terrible
double murder of two children by
their father. who afterward committed
suicide, occurred at Niobe, on the
northern edge of Wood county, W.
Va, last Wednesday. The murderer
and suicide was Floyd Raidabaugh, an
industrious and well-to-do citizen, who
had always stood well in the commu-
nifty. Mrs. Raidabaugh left home
Wednesday morning to visit her
mother, three miles away, leaving her
husband at home with the children,
one eighteen months and the other
three years. After her departure
Raidabaugh took the two children out
to the barn and hanged them both to
rafters. He then returned to the house
and wrote a note to his wife, telling
what he had done and of his purpose
to kill himself and assigning as reason
that his father did not like him. He
left the note on the table, and return
ing to the barn hung himself beside
the two children. When Mrs. Raida-
baugh came home she found the note,
and running to the barn found her
husband and children hanging dead in
row.
