and then hid to await their arrival. At
one o'clock they arrived, carrying with
them an oil can and hay. They poured
the oil on the house, started the fire, and
turned to run away. At this the officers
demanded a halt. A lively time fol-
lowed in which twenty shots were fred
by the officers without serious results.
William Stevenson. the leader of the
gang, escaped.
The two prisoners confess their guilt
today and relate the following story:

a Representative of London News
Agency Passes Through K@nsa-.
HALsrEAD, Aug. 31-Wm. Ford, cor
respondent of the Central News aasocia-
ton of London, England. passed through
here afoot on q long journey. MIR. Ford
left London August II. 1894, on wager
of 1000 pounds, nearly $4,000, that he
would walk TO Liverpool and after
reaching America would make a tour of
the United States on foot and back to
London in eighteen months.
MIR. Ford arrived in Quebec August 20,
1894, and started on the. morning of the
29tn. He has walked across the CONT
nent, been to San Francisco, south to Los
Angeles, and is now working his way
east. He has over five months to reach
London and, barring accidents, will
easily win his wager.
Mr. Ford writes letters every week to
the London News association. These
letters give experience of tramping in
America.
Mr. Ford says the first time he visited
America was for the purpose of joining
Coxey's army and writing up his expe-
rience for his London employers. He
joined the army and marched to Wash
Iugton with Coxey.
He was provided with a tie pass,
which was as follows:

Brooklyn lie described It as a low, rum
bling noise, ana added that many houses
had been shaken, al Of the inhabitants
being aroused from their sleep.
So1ductor Barry of the Atlantic Ave.
nue. railroad said that whom going on du-
ty shortly before o'clock in the morning
he distinctly felt the ground quake, and
then he heard a Tumbling. He came 10
the conclusion that the earthquake shock
must have been quite general in its nature.
James jackson, "a colored watohman at
the municipal building, said that the resi-
dents of The Twcnty-ffth ward were star
tied by three shocks in rapid succession,
followed by a rwmbling noise. The houses
trembled, and many pictures and other or
naments hanging on the walls were thrown
TO the floor Two conductors of the Allan
tic Avenue railroad, who were dining in a
restaurant on Washington street. reported
TO the Bridge police station that they felt
the earthquake shock. The building trem-
bled pcrccptibly, while the plates and 9TH
er dishes on the table were moved. They
say the shock was like the effects of dis
tinct explosion.
At many Of tho hotels tire guests wera
so frightened by the vibrations that they
hurried into the Railways TO find out tho
cause Of the trouble. The guests at the
Pierrepont House were very much alarmed,
and many Of them went down stairs and
asked the night clerk what had happened.
They thought an explosion must have oc-

New YorI. but Little shocked.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Aocording to Fore
caster Dunn, the earthquake reached this
city at GIL a. m, and the shock lasted
for ten seconds 1t travelled from south TO
north, but only comparatively few per-
sons here appear to have noticed the dis
turbance. Those who did do not agree as
to the exact time OF its occurrence. Har-
lemites evidontly felt il more than the
residents farther down town.
In the lower portion Of the city it was
exceedingly difficult to find any ono who
had felt it at all. But in Brooklyn there
were plenty Of persons of excellent reputo
for voracity who said they had been awak-
enod by the shock and scared nearly out
of their wits.
On Long Island, where the vibrations
OF the earth were most severe, it is claimed
that the earth experienced a rolling which
made houses sway, in some instances, very
porceptibly.
That the swaying was indeed noticeable
is proved by the numerous reports of peo-
pie beiSg thrown ont of their beds and the
movingabout of furniture, the swinging
of hanging pictures and the breaking Of
crOcEory.
