Great Northern Strike Almost Over.

ST. PAUL, April 23.-The effect of the opinion of the United States attorney gen eral expressed as it was by one of the best known lawyers in the United States, had a noticeabl effect on the strike leaders in this city and along the line of the Great Northern road, which effect is apparent in the fact that the road is now clear from this city to Minot, and trains on the Min nesota and Dakota divisions will be run as usual today. Heretofore the strike leaders have maintained that they did not object to the running of mails and they were not obstructing the mail service, but on hear ing the opinion and before it was known to the public they announced that they proposed to allow all mail trains, includ- ing passenger cars, to pass unobstructed. It is believed that the strike is practically over now, so far as these two states are concerned, and the company can begin work on the states farther west, taking them in order one at time.

CHURCH WALLS ARE SHAKEN DOWN
Whole Congregation Crushed Under Fall. ing Walls and Thirty Taken Out Dead Terror Stricken.

ATHENS, April 23 - The earthquake shocks that began about half past : o'clock on Friday mig VA nave continued with more or less frequency. All Satur- day night the oscillation of the earth was noticeable, and the people of this city were in state of semipanic. Thousands of per sons spent the whole night in the streets, dreading that should they enter their houses a more severe shock might bring the buildings down upon them. Tele- graphic communication with many parts of the country is badly interrupted, and it is impossible to get news from some of the towns that must have been affected by the shock
 This uncertainty has given rise to many rumors regarding the loss of life, some of the estimates placing it at very high number. That it is large there is TO dou bt. All the dispatches from the provinces add to the number of killed and injured and greatly swell the accounts of the damage to property.
 In three villages alone-Malesina, Pros kina and Martino, all in the province ot Locris-129 persons were killed. The may or of Larymni telegraphs that a heavy shock occurred at Proskina while vesper services were being held in the parish church, which was quite an old but very substantial edifce. The walls of the church fell, burying all the worshipers in the ruins

KILLED BY STEAM.
Fatal Accident to a Workman Mt the
Navy Yard.

Horatio N. Steele, quarterman en-
ployed in the navy yard, was killed there
yesterday while at work, and his friends
are loud in their censure of the officials,
because they think the work was done In
a careless manner, which was calculated to
result in fatality There was a leak in
one of the large steam pipes in the gun
carriage factory and an attempt was made
to repair the leak while there was a fun
pressure of steam on, instead Of waiting
till the work had closed down for the day
and repairing the pipe when the steam had
been shut off. In tinkering about the leaky
pipe, the hole was enlarged and an explosion
followed. The unfortunate man was inn
prisoned in the escaping steam by the
heavy pipe being forced back on his leg.
1t was some little time before the steam
had cleared away enough to permit SteeIes
fellow workmen to go to his rescue. By
the time they reached him the imprisoned
man was almost dead from the effects of
the steam, although he was not uncon-
Scious.
The injured man was attended by two
surgeons from the Naval Hospital, and was
afterward removed to his home, No. ia
9th street southeast, where he died about
10 o'clock last night. Deceased was nifty
two years old, and had been employed in
the navy yard for nearly twenty years.
Coroner Hammett viewed the body today
and deemed an inquest unnecessary. This
means that there will be no official investi-
cation of the affair.

BARGAINS ARE OFFERED.
Mt. Pleasant Citizens Discussing Mr..
Andrew Wallis Private Sale.

Considerable gossip has been created in
Mount Pleasant and vicinity by the notifi-
cation quietly given out that persons de-
string to buy useful or ornamental house
hold articles at a sacrifice would find eX-
cellent bargains at the residence of Mr..
Andrew Wall, No. 293S 18th street. The
topic is also heightened In interest by the
additional rumor that the fine building
occupied by Mr.. Wallis family has been
put on the market for immediate sale at
a price of $4,000. Mr. Wall is the vice
president end general manager of the
Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment
Company, and was recently arrested In
Pittsburg for conspiracy to defraud the
shareholders of the concern in that city.
He Is now out bail to appear when
wanted. Proceedings have also been en-
tered in the civil courts In this city to
have receiver of the company appointed,
and the request will be decided on Monday.
Mention is made in another column Of to-
days Star of the fact that receiver for
the original Fidelity Building and Loan As
ISOLATION was appointed by Judge Hughes
of Virginia on Thursday. The desire CT
Mr.. Wall or his family to dispose Of the
property in Mount Pleasant Is more gener-
ally discussed under the circumstances
than it otherwise would be, and the i'm
preston seems to be that the criminal and
civil suits have caused Mr.. Wall to make
up his mind to change his place of resi-
dence to some other locality.

KOLBITES RESOLVE AGAIN.

Special Dispatch to Tie Evening Star.
MONTGOMERY. Ala, December SIT
leaked out this morning that the populists
held caucus last night at the residence
OF Editor BaltZell of the Alliance Herald.
where were present nearly all the promi-
nent leaders in the state. including Capt.
Kolb, Skaggs of the state committee, Col.
Reese, who has been named for United
States Senator to contest Senator Morgan's
seat; Senator Goodwin and all the populist
members of both houses. 1t was a "red
hot meeting. and much bad blood is said
to have been engendered. 1t grew out of
the discussion whether they should sustain
Kolb in carrying on dual government
and, il 50, to what extent, and whether
any violent or revolutionary action should
be taken.
Some of Kolbs adherents want to pre-
cipitate matters and seat Kolb as governor.
This was strongly opposed by Senator Good
win and others, and finally the following
compromise resolution was adopted, and
il may be taken as the sense of the popu-
lists:
Resolved, That we act inside of the law
until the present session of the legislature
closes, and, if fair election law Is passed
well fair contest law by which the
last state election can be fairly contested,
that We will stand by the result of The
contest; but if the legislature shall fail or
refuse to pass the two acts above referred
TO, or shall pass any oppressive laws, then
we call upon the chairman of our execu-
tive committee to call a state convention
to consider the situation and adopt some
line of action by which We shall be given
our rights"

Texas is Hot After the Standard
Oil Officers.
SOONER OR LATER WILL Be TRIED
Efforts to Avoid Going South Will
Be Futile.
A STATE OFFICIALS VIEW

TYLER, Tex. December S.-R. L. Henry,
the attorney general, when asked by the
Associated Press reporter of the future
action of the state with regard to the
Standard Oil Company officials, now under
Indictment, charged with the violation of
the trust law, replied:
Il am not at liberty. nor perhaps pre-
pared, just now to give out the precise
course that the state will pursue in the
Standard Oil prosecution. We have not
yet heard from the requisition sent to Mis-
souri,, and, of course, the matter will not
be decided until the result of our applica-
ton there is known.
las to the situation in New York, we
shall endeavor to remedy any defect in the
requisition papers sent to the governor of
that state, and will have counsel to repre-
sent US in Governor Hogg's application
Should our requisition to the governor of
Missouri be refused, the same course will
be pursued. Aside from the supposed de-
OF New York certainly has.no ground for
refusing to grant the requisition. Those
living in New York will not always remain
within the limits of the state, and a
requisition will be sent to other states.
Their efforts to avoid coming to Texas will
be futile. for sooner or later they will be
brought to trial. and the law will be en-
forced"

SOLDIERS, HOMES.
Annual Report of tire Board of Man.
ages Sent to the Home

Annual Report of tire Board of Man
ages Sent to the Home "'a~ ,
The annual report of the board of man
ayers of the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers was sent to the House
yesterday. 1t treats of the TWEEN
ty-one state homes. The aggre-
gate average number kept IN the
national and state homes was ~, 162, and
the whole number cared for during the
year, 1864. On June 30, 1894, the number
present in the several branches of the
national home was 1888, an increase In
one year of 1,G6S. This fact, says the re7
port. showed congestion that was alarming,
considering that the time of the year was
one when the population of the home
would naturally be the least, and later
when the number was greater suspension
of admissions whenever there was lack OF
room was authorized. This suspension
caused great distress. The board has no
means of alleviating 1t.
The men not admitted, although entitled
thereto, must in general be cared for 10y
the charity of Grand Army posts. or char
are stranded. There are only two branches
which can economically and properly be
enlarged. The one at Marion, Ind, and
the other in California. An alternative
proposition suggested is the establishment
of another branch home in some central
place. The efforts of the board to correct
the evils of intemperance have been, 1T is
believed, beneficial in their results. The
annual cost of the maintenance of each
man at the homes was Sl21.4o, a decrease
from the previous year or Sl3.oO; the
deaths were 1850 an Increase of twenty.
The inspection of the state homes shows
that in general they are economically man
aged.

NOT THE SAME FIDELITY.
Receiver Appointed for the Parent

Receiver Appointed for the Parent
Association of Messrs. Wall & Co.
The Fidelity Building and Loan Associa-
ton has secured the appointment of a re-
ceiver to take charge of its affairs, upon
application to Judge Hughes of Virginia.
In which state the company is chartered.
Judge Hughes heard the motion on Thurs
day and appointed Mr.. G. Hatley Norton
of this city receiver later in the evening.
The association has it's offices in the Nc
Gill building, in the same apartments &C.
cupied by the Fidelity. or, as it is now
known, the Columbia Building, Loan and
Investment Association, and it's officers are
nearly identical, Andrew Wall, Alonzo
Tweedale, Charles j. James and the other
prominent officers of one holding equally
responsible positions IN the other. 1t is
stated by them that the two companies
are entirely different.
1t is claimed that the company was
forced into insolvency by the revelations
of the methods followed by the agents of
the Fidelity, now Columbia, Building, Loan
and Investment Company in this city,
Pittsburg and other places, the publica-
tons regarding them having frightened
the investors in the other concern. The
appointment of Receiver Norton has moth
ing whatever to do with the company
whose affairs are now in the courts, and
for which a receiver has been asked.
