The republicans of Iron Mountain at
their city convention unanimously passed
the following resolution:
Resolued: That this convention heartily
approves of the course pursued by Honor
able John I. Rich, governor of this state,
in the wise and patriotic stand he has taken
with view to bringing to justice the parties
who were guilty of gross neglect and fraud
in regard to the canvass of the salary amend
ment returns for the years 1891 and 1898.
Upper Peninsula republicans do not differ
from those of this part of the state. They

records in every department OF life, if print

into political oblivion forever. The rep,tb-

minstratioD that has instituted this wicked
crusade against the haltiug and war-worn

their country and flag might not be blotted
from the roll of nations. and that the inn
pulses of justice and comradeship are strong
er in the hearts of the upholders of the
union than are political or party ties.
Ionia Sentinel: The speech of General
VIM. Shakespeare, delivered in Owosso last
week, is the indignant protest of soldier
who is democrat, against the pension poll
cy of the administration which he helped to
put In power. The general is democrat
but is more patriot than partisan and has no
patience with the evident purpose of the
powers that be to cut down expenses by
robbing pensioners and branding them as
frauds. He is himself pensioner. expects
to be as long as he lives and is not ashamed
of it. There is no doubt that his views are

HAzLEToN. Pa, April 30.-Anthony q
Freuko, lalorer, was ordered to use sir
teen inches Of dynamite in ordts to break
up old iron at the leansville iron works.
Instead he used sixteen sticks of the ex-
plosive, and the result was a terrific ex-
plosion. a portion of the casting weigh
ing some 1000 pounds descended upon the
roof of james McGlynn's house, which
stood 800 yards away, The house was
wrecked complete to the cellar, and how
the inmates escaped being crushed TO
death seems miraculous A bed ON the
second floor, in WHICH an infant was sleep
ing, was broken in twain. In the kitchen
beneath Mrs. McGlynn was engaged
washing dishes. She heard the noise, but
bad no time to move when the casting
dropped upon the table, carrying it and
dishes through the floor into the cellar.
The woman was Frustrated by fright, but

THE EARTHQUAKES IN GREECE.
Tho Earth Swung to and Fro Like Pen
duiup.


ATHENS. April so.-fhe official reports
from the earthquake stricken districts in
no wise niipimize the first accounts Of the
disaster The whole const line from the
old ports Of Earymna to Therpopyle suf-
fered terribly from the shocks The loss
Of life on Friday night must have been
very great. Reports from all the districts
have not yet been received but M. Bou-
phides, minister of the interior, has re-
ceived advices that in the Lokris district
alone 300 were killed and about three hum
dred persons injured.
Everything that is possible is being
done to alleviate the Distress and the
government is spending money with un-
sparing hand in the purchase of provis-
Ions. Many rich Greeks have contributed
largely for the relief Of their countrymen,
but notwithstanding this public and pri-
vate assistance there is bound to be much
suffering among the poor. The people of
Atalanta have fled to the bills for safety.
In this district there was a continuous
series of shocks. In seven hours and q
half 1865 were counted.
When the earth movements began
and the houses began to totter and
fall many Of the inhabitants who were
uninjured forgot everything except their
personal safety. They ran wildly from
the doomed city and sought firm stand
ing place on the hills that rise behind the
town. The earth swung to and fro like
pendulum, and between the swings would
tremble and quiver. Great assures opened
in the earth over an area of ten square
kilometers.
Much damage was done along the shore
by seismic wave which encroached upon
the coast for distance of twenty meters.
A number of houses were destroyed by
this means, and there can be no doubt
that lives were also lost
Deep subterrauean mumblings and re-
ports resembling the sound of cannon
fired at a distance continue to be heard,
and the people are in mortal fear that
other and more severe shocks may follow.

While the fight was raging the house
and "quarters" were both in flames,
fired by the shells from a Confederate
gun. But for the strenuous efforts of
the detachment guarding the prisoners
in the barn that structure would have
also been reduced to ashes. 1t therefore
came about that when the battle was
over and men began to bring in the
wounded the barn was tho only shelter
to be had. The prisoners were turned
out and the place given up TO moaning,
grooming men and those who sought to
succor them. This sounds of battle had
been heard in the Federal lines, and a
brigade of infantry arrived about 8
O'Clock in the evening. While their
services were not needed, the hale dozen
surgeons sent out with the column had
work to last them the long night through
and far into the next day.
1t is grim sight, field hospital like
this, and they are grim men into whose
hands the woundod fall as they are lift
ed off the stietchers, groaning, cursing
or crying. The flight of snowflake in
a gale of wind is not more erratic than
the fight of death missiles in n battle.
Here are men wounded in the face; the
next three or four may be wounded in
the feet or ankles. Sabers have descend
ed upon heads and shoulders; bullets
have plowed thoir way into arms, sides,
hips or legs; fragments of shell have
carried away fingers and reduced hands
topulp. OF a hundred men no two have
received the same hurt.
Rude tables have been prepared, and
strong men lift each victim up to be
overhauled by the men who have strip
ped off coat and vest and rolled their
sleeves far back. They look like butch
ers in slaughter pen, but their hearts
are tender toward these victims of bat
tie, whether friend or foe The bitter
ness Of battle is at its height when the
crash of artillery and the crackle of
musketry are fiercest. When the battle
Is over, whsther victorious or defeated,
pity returns to tho heart and blinds the
eyes to the color of the uniform. Over
each man lifted up there is brief con-
sultation.
Those bare armed mon need waste no
time. They can tell almost at glance
what the result will be. If it is NOR
tai hurt, the poor fellow is lifted aside
TO breathe his last as peacefully as pos
sible under such surroundings. If there
is hopo for him, his wound is dressed
with agile fingers, and he gives way to
tho next.
That's Captain Wyle, my company
captainl"
So exclaimed Steve Brayton as he en-
tered the barn about 1 / o'clock at night
to see if he could recognize any Confed-
crates being brought in. Tho captain
had just been lifted to the table. He
was conscious, but had not yet spoksn.
Those who brought him in said that he
was pinned to the earth by the hind
quarters of hia dead horse, and that the
animal was tearfully mangled by grape
shot.

they are in torture. Hark againl That
grewsorhe sohnd rising at intervals
above the wailing comes from the
wounded horses. They are also begging
and pleading. Some are limping about
among the dead and wounded men as il
seeking their masters, pausing now and
then to rub their cold poses against
body, while others are lying down and
lift their heads only to utter a whinny
which tells OF fright and pain. Thank
God that night and darkness come to the
battlefield to hide its horrorsl In the
darkness we shall search out oil the
wounded, bet we shall not be forced to
look upon the mangled dead-mangled
by shot and shell and grape and the iron
hoofs of the charging horses until re-
