HONDURAS EARTHQUAKES,
Great Distress Among the Peo-
pie Whose Homes Were
Destroyed.
Troops Helped Bury the Dead and
Placed Over a Hundred In
One Trench.

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS, Sept. 49,
The shocks at Metapan and vicinity have
entirely ceased. There is great distress
and many people are houseless. Smoke
during the day and lurid flames during the
night continue, though greatly dimin-
ished.
Considerable ground is yet covered by
lava. which is still hot. The stencil is un-
bearable. as dead bodies are putrefying,
and it is feared that they will breed dis
ease. Troops are helping to bury the
dead. Over 100 were placed in one trench.
The temporary field hospital near San
Miguel contains over 250 wounded persons.
Physicians who were sent for are arriving.
There is a great scarcity of provisions.
The shocks, it is reported, brought a lot
of mineral to the surface. A freshet IS
feared, and the rivers are running full

PARIS, TEX, Sept. 13.-Charles II. Key
was hanged here to-day by the Federal
officials. The execution was private, only
officials and representatives Of the press
being admitted The crime for which Key
suffered the penalty was for the foul MUIR
der OF country lad named Smith Nc
Laughlin, the sole support of an aged and
widowed mother. He hired the boy and
his team. and when camp was made for
the night in Red River bottom he split the
head of the lad open and tossed his re-
mains into the river, where they were dis
covered next day by fisherman. He
made away with the wagon and team and
sold them. His attempt at suicide while
imprisoned attracted widespread attention,
and his playing the insanity dodge cost
the Government thousands of dollars for
expert testimony. He was also suspected
of having murdered a Mexican at Big
Springs Tex, but upon the gallows stated
that he would risk going to hell before he
would make confession.

1t is expected that the revised grain
tariff Will be ready by next Saturday 1t
will be served on the railroad company
without delay and twenty days later will
become operative. Shippers will thus get
the benefit of the new order of things
about the middle of October. The Com
missioners have not decided whether they
will serve the schedule of each line as fast
as it is prepared or whether they will wait
until they have completed the whole work
of revising grain rates.
After this is done the general commodity
tariff will be revised under the % per cent
reduction basis, and then grain will be
given such further reduction as, according
to the opinion of the commission, it may
be entitled to.
When the board was called to order,
Chairman La Rue announced that sup
Elementary petition protesting against the
adoption of the Is per cent horizontal re-
duction ON grain rates was received from
George w. Ficks on behalf of the Sacra-
mento employees of the Southern Pacific
Company. 1t was ordered filed.
Chairman La Rue then placed the great
issue squarely before the board, saying:
The question will be on the adoption of the
amendment of Commissioner stanton to the
original resolution providing for a 20 per cent
reduction.
Then before there was any opportunity
for discussion on the part of his colleagues
he continued:
have thought the matter over carefully,
and in explanation of my vote have prepared
something in writing which states my reasons.
He then read as follows:
Having voted yesterday for a reduction upon
grain rates of s per cent upon the question as
divided at the suggestion of Commissioner
Clark, l now deem it only proper TO say few
words in explanation of my vote upon the rest
OF Commissioner Stantons resolution.
l declined to take the pledge sought to be
imposed upon me for an average reduction in
freight rates of 25 per cent, and my reasons
for so doing were that at that time l had no
sufficient information on the subject to enable
me TO pledge myself to reduction which
might be unjust 10 the railroad corporation.
That the rates and fares in this State as
exaeted by the Southern Pacific Company ever
since it's organization and now have been
grossly oppressive is known to every intelligent
man in the State especially to those who, like
myself, have travelled constantly and made
made large shipments over their lines.

The Kearney National Bank Unable to
Pan Its Debts.


KEARNEY, NEBR., Sept. 13.-The Kear-
nev National Bank is in trouble again, and
failed to open its doors this morning. The
bank failed once before, some time in De-
cember last. and was allowed to resume
business by the Comptroller by issuing
time certificates to the depositors payable
in six, eight and twelve months. The
trouble is not thought to be from depositors
this time, but rat her frcm outside credit
ors, as their last statement shows some
thing like $4,000 rediscount, and owing to
slow collections they were not able to pay
interest.
A man by the name of Emmett from
Chicago is here negotiating with the d.
rectors and stockholders with view of
purchasing a controlling interest, and is
now looking over the papers of the bank.
If deal is made the bank will reopen; if
not it will be closed and receiver asked

WASHINGTON, May ~ One of

five clerks will be dispensed with
and a number Of reductions will be
made.
Gouernor 0'Farrell, of Virginia,
is expected to meet the board Of
trade, of this city to confer as 10 the
most available means Of stopping
the gambling which constantly
goes on at Jackson City, a notori-
Gus and disreputable suburb
between this city and Alexan-
dria. A majority OF the gamblers
are said to reside in this city and
take advantage Of the laws Of vir-
gin a, to play their neferious call
ing at the nearest available point
on the Virginia side Of the Poto
mac. The practice has been kept
mp until Jackson City is notorious
as the daily resort for the worst
possible element Of gamblers, jack

| shall not now enter into an
examination of the causes which
have combined to depreciate the
relative value and to appreciate
the value of gold since 1873, but
am one of those who believe that
they are transient and temporary
in their nature, and that when
they have passed away or been re-
moved by the separate or united
action of the nations most deeply
interested in the subject the ratio
of actual and relative value will
be re-established on firmer
foundation than ever. | know
that the worlds stock of the preei.
Gus metals is none too large, and
see no reason to apprehend that il
will ever come so. Mankind will
be fortunate, indeed, il the an,
nual production OF gold and silver
coin shall keep pace with the an.
nual increase of population, com
merce and industry. According
to my view of the subject the con
spiracy which seems to have beer
formed here and in Europe t
destroy, by legislation and other
wise, from three-sevenths to one
half of the metallic money of thu
world is the most gigantic crime o
this or any other age.
The consummation of such 1
scheme would ultimately entail
more misery upon the human fact
than all the wars, pestilences anC
famines that ever occurred in tn,
history of the world. The abso
lutte and instaneous destruction o

sensibly at the moment, would no
produce anything like the pro
