COACHMAN HOWARD FREE.
Secretary Carlisle Rcverscs Ills Decision
IN the Case of the Stable Boy Engaged
by Hon. Levi Morton.

ny Hon. Levi Morton,
BY the United Press.
New York, Nov 4-Secretary Car
isles decision in the case of John How
| ard, the coachman imported by Hon.
Levi Morton and detained ON Ellis ISL
and as an alien contract laborer, was
received yesterday. The secretary de-
| cided that after having examined the
evidence taken by the board of special
inquiry he was of the opinion that How
| ards case came under the proviso in
the act which allowed the importation
of personal or domestic servants, and
ordered the immediate release of the
coachman.
The commissioner of immigration i'm
mediately sent for Howard and told
him of his release. He also purchased
for him q ticket to Rhineclff, near
which is Ellerslie, Mr.. Morton's farm.
Furthermore, he informed the little
| chap that the government would pay
for the transportation Of his baggage
and for his meals at the Ellis Island
restaurant during his detention.
The gentleman who has just left Ellis
island, where privileges such as are
given to political prisoners have been
granted to him, was formerly associat-
ed with Lord Atiick, of England. He
entered the. service of Levi p. Morton
in England as an under coachman. His
duties We're to clean the carriages. tend
the horses and sometimes to drive a
| road wagon. He came over here to
perform the same offices at Ellerslie.
He was arrested on a warrant issued
by the secretary of the treasury
charged with being an alien contract
laborer. He was ordered to be deport-
ed. Mr.. Morton instituted habeas pro-
ceedings, and Judge Lacombe decided
that the man was a domestic servant.
AS such he could not be a contract la
borer within the meaning of the law.
Judge Lacombe, however. said that the
matter came only within the jurisdic-
ton of the secretary of the treasury.
Mr.. Carlisle had the evidence taken and
announced his decision yesterday,
which agreed with that of Judge La
combe. He reversed his own ruling
and broke all the precedents Of the de-
partment.

City of Mexico, Nov. 4.
The earthquake which visited this
section of the republic Friday evening
was the most severe which has been
since 1886. Reports OF damage to the
and property are slow in being col
lected, but it is known that thirteen
people We're killed in this city, and at
least three at outside points. Many
roofs Of old buildings fell and in some
instances crushed to instant death the
occupants of the houses. All of the
killed are among the lower classes.
The earthquake was preceded by a
rumbiing subterranean noise followed
by movement of the ground from
north to south. This was followed in
a few seconds by another undulating
and stronger vibration from west to
east, which in turn was succeeded by
shock from northwest to. southeast. The
three shocks, coming as they did from
different quarters, badly cracked the
strongest buildings.
From telegraph advices from Central
and Southern Mexico the disturbance is
shown to have covered the state and
federal District of Mexico, and lasted
from one to four minutes. Being
holiday and one of the chief festival
days of the year, the theaters We're
thronged and panics ensued. Several
people were hurt in the rush of exit and
many women went into Mysteries. The
songs on the stage were succeeded by
impassioned prayers for forgiveness
and confession of error. The plays
were genetrally abandoned and the au-
dience remained in the theaters kneel-
ing in prayer.
Ringing of the Church Bells.
Drivers deserted the street cars and
coachmen their hacks to kneel in prayer
along with the throng sending up their
supplications. The threatened destruc-
tion was made more solemn by the
ringing of bells in the swaying church
tower
In prisolts whehe many desperate
criminals are confined the scenes wit
messed We're curious as the walls swayed
and the earth cracked, threatening to
entomb the imprisoned inmates. The
convicts almost without exception fell
upon their knees on the floors of their
cells with loud voices crying out pray
ers and suppllcation. Many, suppos-
ing their time had come, shouted out
confessions of past crimes. This is one
of the most dramatic passages in the
passing of the event and may be of use
to the officers Of the law in unraveling
u number Of mysterious crimes in
Mexico.
The supply of water pipes leading
from Chapultepec were broken, and the
city will suffer water famine if the
pipe is not repaired at an early hour.
