Earthquake Shocks.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Chicagoans were
alarmed few minutes after five o'clock
this morning by feeling distinct
earthquake shock. The vibrations
were severe enough to shake objects on
the mantels and desks in the tall build
ings. At one of the police stations the
severity of the vibration was such as to
oyerturn an inkstand on the desk.
Reports of the disturbance are coming
in from points in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, Ohio, western Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and other States.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 31.-The most
severe earthquake ever felt in this city
occurred at 5:13 o'clock this morning,
The vibrations lasted fully fifteen sec
onds and were accompanied by q dull,
rumbling sound resembling heavy
train going through g tunnel. The
trembling of the earth was so great that
many clocks were stopped, dishes
ratified and at the power houses of the
electric car lines the current was tenn
porarily interrupted. Reports received
this morning state that the shock was
felt in Kentucky, Arkansas and Kan
sas and other States.
CHATHAM, Ont, Oct. 31.-A severe
shock of earthquakes was felt here this
morning at 6 o'clock.

stage, announced that he had fulfilled
his share of the articles of agreement to
the letter and claimed the forfeit from
the Florida Athletic Club; re-entered
the carriage, and went back to town,

world. There is no question but that
if Fitz had taken the special train q

some new place where the city has
been plundered. The intricate method
of bookkeeping and false entries make

was brought about by the death of Su-

Mr.. WILLARD AND THE LEGIsLA-
TURE.-Hon. Joseph E. Willard, son
of Joseph Willard, of this city. was at
the Ebbitt House few nights since.
He is the democratic nominee for the
Virginia Legislature from Fairfax,
and is sure to be elected. Speaking of
the matters to be disposed Of by the
next legislature, he said: Zone OF the
most important things to be disposed
of is the question of the race tracks in
Alexandria county. Its hardly prac-
ticable to abolish them altogether, but
there will be strong effort made, and
/ hope successful one. to put severe
restrictions upon them. 1t is at least
settled that the most Objectionable
features will be done away with. If
am elected I certainly shall do all in
nay power to bring this about, and it
is generally thought that Mr.. May,
who has just been nominated In Alex
andria, will work toward the same end.
The road question will also be an i'm
portant matter for the next Legislature
to consider. The law compelling each
voter to furnish two days labor on the
pubic roads having been declared I'M
constitutional by the Supreme Court of
the State, it will be necessary to pass
an amendment to the constitution.
which has to be ratified by the people.

BEFORE THE war between the State',
and even all during that war, when the
white men of the South were absent,
outrageous assaults of negro men upon
white women were not only unknown,
but were undreamed of in any of the
Southern States. Emancipation, suffrage
and free schools seem to have develop
ed that crime in race previously ex-
empt from it, and, to such an extent,
that it is now of almost daily occur
renee somewhere. A conspicuous
whipping post at every county seat in
the South, as an ever present reminder
that it is prelude to inevitable death
that must follow the commission of the
crime referred to, would tend nightly
to eradicate that crime in all the South
ern States, and render the country
homes in those States more secure

World representing him as speaking
unfavorably of Gen. Robert E. Lee. In

Regarding recent newspaper inter-

I have denied some Of his alleged say

there were some mistakes in the cam

The Holmes Trial.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.-The fourth
day of the Holmes trial opened this
morning. When placed in the dock he
scanned q letter and that the man is not
wholly nerveless was shown by the
way the paper shook in his hand.
While waning for the district attorney
Holmes passed the interval by consult
ing with his counsel and chatting and
laughing with the court officers.
Sidney l.. Samuels, a Fort Worth,
Texas, lawyer, was the first witness. He
was shown the note for $4,000 signed
by Pitezel under the name OF Benton T.
Lyman and to take up which Holmes
got the $1,000 from Mrs. Pitezel. He
identified Holmes les the individual in
the case there who I knew under the
name of Pratt.n a letter from Holmes
to the woman in willamette in which
he speaks of their marriage was read to
the jury. just after this Holmes gave
wsy and wept. A fair, blond-haired
girl was led toward the witness stand.
When Holmes saw her he started and
grew deathly pale. BE beckoned eager
ly to his attorneys and with tears run
ming down his cheeks talked with
great earnestness to them. The wit
ness gave her name as Georgianna
Yoke. 1t was the girl whom he mar
RE under the name of 81. M. Howard.
Holmes urged his lawyers to use every
means in their power to prevent the
witness from testifying but their efforts
were useless. Miss York testified that
she knew the prisoner under the names
of Holmes and Howard. She met him
in St. Louis and while he was in Jail en-
gagged Thomas B. Harvey and Howe as
lawyers to defend him. She said she
was in Philadelphia with him in 1894
and she remembered man calling to
see Holmes on Sunday night, Sept l..
This man, Holmes has since told her,
was Pitezel. Holmes said at the time
that he had an engagement with the
man the next day.
