POLITICAL POINTS.

A dark horse is being groomed in this town
or the Legislative nomination on the Re
publican ticket, and when announced will
likely cause some surprise in certain quarters.
Considerable attention is already being
given to the contest next February.
Congressman Brumm leaves this week for
Washington, accompanied by his private Sec
rotary. Congress convenes on Monday.
Some of the announced candidates for lag
isiative honors in this county are IN rely
playing for fat positions at Harrisburg.
Shenandoah will have at least one candi-
date on each ticke' next fall, with many
times that many more as candidates before
the county conventions.
W. A.. Mari and George w. Wadlinger,
Esq. are announced candidates for judicial
houors on the Democratic side. Murt. Quinn,
Of Pottsvillv, is also spoken Of as a candidate
for Congress.
Ex-President Harrison pays taxes at

There are several O~fice-holders in SOhuyl-
kill county who will have little to be thank

surely, but slowly digging their own political
grave. And there are others to follow.
The recent conference between Martin,
Magee, Hastings and Mccormick was held in
the interest of the latter as a candidate tC
succeed the hero Of JOhnstown."
The best recommendation a candidate car
nave for this district is that the American is
against him. Such opposition should render
him dear to the honest man.

one. In addition to a Governor, there viii
be voted for in this county a Judge, Con

SEISMIC DISTURBANCES.

Earthquake Shocks General All
Through California.
The Chronicle of June 21st says that
the earthquake that was so distinctly
felt in San Francisco between II and 1
o'clock on the afternoon of June Goth
was experienced throughout California,
as far north as Sacramento and south
to Templeton, in the northern part of
San Luis Obispo County. Reports in
dictate that the center of the seismic
disturbance was in the vicinity of Hol-
lister, in San Benito County. Within a
radius of 40 miles of Hollister the
shocks were sufficiently violent to re-
suit in considerable damage to win
dows and plastering. The direction of
the vibrations varied in different
places, but they are generally reported
as being from north to south.
Reports agree that the earthquake
was perhaps the severest experienced
since the memorable one in 1868, when
much property was destroyed in Cali
fOrnia. In nearly all of the sections
affected the weather conditions were
cloudy and sultry.
A section of adobe wall in a Mission
Church in Monterey tumbled in on the
congregation and a panic almost re-
suited Congregations were at worship
in various towns when the shock oc-
Cured. and in some churches panics
were avoided by the cool-headedness
of the ministers.
