No Serious Damage.

Montreal, May 27.-There was an
earthquake shock here tonight ut 1915.
From the time the rumble was perceptble
until the shock was over with a great
panic ensued. Both the Queens theatre
and the Theatre Franchise were crowded
and the audiences We're considerably
frightened. Two ladies tainted in the
former and had TO be carried to the
dressing rooms. The audience rose to
their feet, but did not leave the house.
Three ladies tainted at the Franchise,
and many in the audience made a break
for the door, but panic was averted
when the manager addressed the crowd
from the stage, assuring them that there
was no danger. The shock caused some
little alarm in the hotels. No serious
damage has been reported.
Geographic reports received here indi-
cate that the quake was felt all down
the Ottawa valley and through eastern
Quebec. In st. Johns, Quebec, the in
habtants rushed into the streets. 1t

Watts ordered Col Jones, who was in COM
mand of the battalion, to move his men
forward. Jones Immediately gave the or

and Lieut.. Stokes mounted in advance,
the battalion advanced steadily with
arms shouldered. The crowd stood still
until the troops were upon them. Then
the larger part gave way, but few,
armed with ball bats, charged the line,
and when Student BROKER knocked
private down they broke through the line.
The police then attempted to arrest
BROKER, but the students charged en-
masse to make rescue. Bats were free
ly used, and the policemen were severely
handled, one being knocked senseless. The
fight then began general. Bats and billies
were freely used, the militiament remain
ing quietly on the ground that they had
won. The policeman who had been
knocked down then rose and began strik-

Private Dunning knocked him down with
his gun. Professor of History r. M.
Davis also interfered in the hope Of
quelling the riot, but was promptly knock

a bat.
The professors then interfered in force
and quieted the students, quite num-

the place was cleared it was found that
student Mccall, who had been struck in
the melee, was lying on the ground in an
unconscious condition. An examination
showed that his skull was crushed, and
he is in critical condition and will be
operated on tonight. He may die. Gen.

THE CUBAN CAUSE.
An Important Meeting to he Held in
Philadelphia Soon.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 27.-It is def
nitely settled that the most important
conference yet held in America in connec-
ton with the Cuban cause will assemble
in Philadelphia some time next week;
Gen. Palma will preside. With him will
be Quesada, the charge faffaires. They
plans that may meet the entire approval
of the administration ut Washington. 1t
is said that as soon as Secretary Sherman
became secretary of. state. he sent for
Ouesada. That interview has had more
to do with the coming conference than
any one thing that has occurred in Cuban
affairs since the Inauguration of the war
two years ago. To some it seems to mean
that the autonomy of Cuba will be
granted. To the extremists it appears
that independence and then alliance with
the United States will be the result. The
Cubans say they have reason. to believe

ley became president.

crime was committed near this city yes

years, went to the house of his grand
mother, Millie Griffin, and seeing a hoe
cake on a gridiron, helped himself to a
piece of it without the knowledge or con-

enraged the old woman and she proceeded
to punish the child by tying him up in
an empty oat sack, tying it on pair of
pot hooks up the chimney and leaving
him there while she went to work in the
field. About two hours later an uncle of
the child heard groans in the cabin and
was horror stricken to find that the sack
had caught fire and the child had been
roasted alive. The negroes in the neigh
borhood gathered at the cabin, and it was
with difficulty that they were prevented

thority that the State Cattle Raisers' as
sociation is about to launch business

stockmen of this portion of the state that
the cars furnished them by the railroads
for the transportation of stock were not
in the condition they should be, nor were
they nearly sufficient in number. The
transportation committee of the assOcia-
ton proposes to solve this at once by the
formation of stock cmpany among the
members of the association and the i'm
mediate construction of ut least 500 cars
as a starter. The plan as outlined in
the prospectus, which has the endorse
ment of all the officers OF the associa-
ton, is as follows:

pany, to issue bonds to the amount of

bearing interest at per cent. These
bonds are to be sold to members of the
association ut 20 cents on the dollar, to
be paid in two equal payments, extend
ing over period of three years. In ad-
ultlOn 10 the SOUOUUU DOnu ISSUE ABOVE
mentioned, there will be an issue of
100000 non-redeemabe bonds also bear
ing 5 per cent interest, to be placed in
the treasury of the association, the in
terest Of these bonds to be applied to the
general expense fund of the association.
The bonds are to run fifteen years. 1t
is estimated that the first cost of the
cars will be 100000 of which a cash
payment of $4,000 will be required. 1t
Is not contemplated there will be any
preference in distributing these cars to
members, nor any particular route to
intention of the stockmen to favor those
roads which have shown them favOrs in
the past.
The plan has been laid before a large |
number of the members of the associa |
ton already, and the following amount |

THE BRIDGES MURDER.
1t Has Sensational Features-His
BrOther-in-Law Arrested.


Corsicana, Tex, May 27.-(Special)-
this county, yesterday afternoon pre-
sents some sensational features. Today
brother-in-law of the deceased, Will r.
Cain, was brought here by officers
under arrest, charged with killing
Bridges. Cain is grocery merchant at
Frost and is prominent citizen of that
place. The trouble which eliminated in
the shooting was the claims to domestic
differences, Bridges, the deceased, having
married a sister of Cain some years ago.
A suit for divorce was filed by Mrs.
Drusey Bridges, the wife, she praying
for decree of separation and for the Gus
tody of her four children.
The facts in the case appear to be that
Mrs. Bridges returned to join her brother
Mr.. Cain, at Frost, bringing the four
children with her. and that as soon as
the citation in the divorce case reached
her husband in the Territory he imme-
diately departed for Frost, reaching
there yesterday mornig.
Cain was brought here today by Sheriff
Allen, who went to Frost after him. He
entered into bond in the sum of $1,000
and was released.
The inquest was held by Justice Will
kinson of Blooming Grove, the verdict
peiiS 'nat DIiuSes met HIS ueatn at tne
hands of w. r. Cain. There were thirty
two holes in Bridges body. One ball
passed directly through the heart. The
physicians stated that any of the shots
would have produced death. He was
shot twice with shotgun and four times
with pistol.
Both parties are members of prom-
nent families residing at and near Frost.
Bridges remains will be inferred near
Frost. where his mother and other rela-
tives reside.
