The above caption, while as yet, it

fully long in the manipulation and
correct adjustment Of her mouth to the
proper point Of potent expression, but
she hns now indicated her ability to
speak the magic word, and reap the rich
realization of her ardent desires. She
spoke the word in unison, and with q
degree of earnestness never before
manifested, and brilliant achievement
was the happy result. She now de-
mands a mammoth hall to meet the
growing requirements ofthe city. How
shall we secure its erection? The voice
of the town says build it, and build il
we will. Nothing succeeds like success.

gcrninate until its branches will rep
resent all of the desirable acquisitions
that are essential to metropolitan pros
perity. What We intended to say was,
that plans are being formulated for the
erection Of one Of the largest halls in
the Hills, which is designed to serve the
purpose of an Armory hall, and an opera
house. Its dimensions have not yet
been definitely agreed upon. but it is a

be large, commodious and attractive
goes without saying. Further reference
will be made to this as well as other

BAD LAND PHosPHATEs.
A recent Washington special says :
Senator w. J. Thornby. of the Black
Hills district in South Dakota, has re-
turned from Florida and south Carolina,
where for several weeks he has been
investigating the phosphate industry
He says that in the Bad Lands of
Dakota large deposits Of phosphate exist
which, up to this time, have been ne
elected. Thornby finds that the South.
ern phosphate sells for s6 per ton at the
mines and that nearly 100000 tons
were shipped last year from Florida and
South Carolina. Thornby has watched
the mining and he now proposes 10 have
the Dakota product examined by the
South Dakota School Of Mines, Of which
he is trustee, and he hopes in year
10 develop a great industry. He says,
furthermore, that all the material for
treating the phosphate is indigenous 10
South Dakota, so that the flashed fer
tilizer can be put on the market in Min.
neapois, Omaha and Chicago.

In the year 1872,
Messrs. Calender, Me-
Auslan & Troup, pro-
prietors of the Boston
Store, having pur-
chased the land COR
ner OF Westminster
and Union streets,
formerly occupied by
the First Universalist
Church, erected q
building, which was
considered, at the
time OF its completion,
early in 1873, a marvel
OF elegance and con-
venience. IL was four
stories high and oc-
cupied a lot having
81 feet frontage on
Westminster street,
running back 96 feet
on Union street. The
Arm took possession in
February, 1873, and oc-
cupied the first two
floors for their own
business, while they
rented the third ana
fourth floors TO differ
ent tenants. Having in
the intervening years
at four different times
added to their original
building, until they
occupied all of the
available land, a lot
extending back from
Westminster street,
POI feet to Fulton
street, they again the
present year found 1t
necessary TO still fur
ther enlarge. There
was but one direction
in which they could
build, up into the air.

A HIGHER COURT.

The Noted McGarrahan Case Settled by
the Death of the Claimant.
WASHINGTON, April %. William
McGarrahan. the celebrated claimant
to the New Idria mine, died at Prov
dence hospital at 11:45 o'clock to-day,
and with his death ended the most
famous of the long time claims before
congress. 1t has been prosecuted for
over 35 years before each congress
'Old Billy" McGarrahan. as he was
Familiarity called, was one of the most
familiar figures at the capitol. He had
haunted the senate and house cham
bers during sessions for over 30 years
in an effort to have passed claim
which seems to have been just and
which had been favorably reported by
a score of committees. The finger of
fate, however. seemed to point each
time toward disastrous road and the
claim never was made good. During
President Harrison's term bill to per-
nit its trial in the court of claims was
passed by both houses of congress but
was vetoed by the president
The history of the claim is long
story and dates back into the '40s- 1t
was the basis of Bret Harte's "StOry of
a mine" The controversy was over a
tract of land known as the Rancho
Panoche Grande on which were located
the famous New Idria quicksilver
mines. Although nominally carried
on between the government and Nc
Garrahan, the real contestant of the
title was the New Idria Mining Co.
which obtained possession of the tract
about the time McGarrahan purchased
it from Vincente p. Gomez

The Earthquake In Greece.


ATHENS. April 3O-The official report
sent from the earthquake stricken dis
trict in no wise minimizes the first ac-
count of the disaster. The whole coast
line from the ancient port of Larymna
to Theopolyle suffered terribly.
King George was deeply stirred by
the scenes of suffering he witnessed
during his visit to ATLANTA He has
announced his intention of visiting
Thebes, and extending aid and SYM
patty to the afflicted people there
The loss of life on Friday night last
must have been very great NJ
Boupides, minister of the interior, has
received advices that in the Lockrist
district alone 800 persons were killed
Two hundred and thirty-three bodies
have already been recovered. About
300 were injured.
The people of ATLANTA have fled to
the hills for safety. In this district
there was continuous series of shocks
In seven hours and a half 3!5 were
counted When the earth movements
began and houses began to totter and
fall many of the inhabitants forgot
everything but their personal safe
ty. They ran wildly from the
doomed city and sought firm
standing place on the hills that
rise behind the town. The earth
swung to and fro like pendulum, and
between the swings would tremble and
culver. Great assures opened 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 me-
tiers.
A number of houses were destroyed
by this means and there can be no
doubt lives were also lost 1t will per-
haps be several days before an accurate
list of the fatalities can be made up
A village near ATLANTA and the
monastery of St Catherine were de-
stroyed The abbot of the monastery
and four of the resident monks were
killed beneath the falling walls The
shock was violent at Limnac. At
Xerachiorion eighteen houses col
lapsed. At Drachmanion a number of
houses and churches were thrown
down. Two persons were killed and
many injured.
Earth tremors continue to be fe 1t al
most continuously, and deep anxiety
is everywhere felt lest there be repe-
ton of the shocks. A royal decree has
been issued sanctioning a credit of 200,
900 drachmas to be applied to relief
work. There is great demand for
planks and other lumber with which to
construct temporary abodes. The lum-
Der merchants at Pieraus, the port of
Athens, are demanding eXorbitant
prices for their stocks These prices
the government and others interested
in the work of relief refuse to pay, and
orders for supplies have been placed
with leaders in Trieste A central re-
lief committee has been formed, head
ed by the archbishop of Athens
