shock since 1865 did many thousand dollars
damage to buildings and their contents. No
casualties occurred. though several mar
row escapes are recorded. Every brick
building in town has suffered. and in the
court house the walls and ceiling have lost
most of their plastering. Immediately
after the earthquake, fire wall of the Nc
Mahon house fell upon the adjoining build
ings. Hundreds of window panes were
cracked or broken and in some instances
entire window sashes were thrown into the
street from the second story of the build
ing.
Gilroy, Cal. June 20.-The heaviest earth
quake ever felt here lasted only a few Sec
onds to-day but did much damage. Num-
erouS ChimneyS were toppled over, house
walls cracked. every plate glass store win
dow shattered and q general wreCkage Of
bottles and shelfware in houses and stores.
People rushed out of their homes thinking
the last trumpet had sounded in earnest.
In some houses blinds were wrenched from
the hinges and an unusual scene Of petty
destruction is presented in nearly every
house and store in town.
San Francisco, June 2O.-Two sharp shocks
of earthquake were felt here to-day. the

There was no lengthy programme to-
day. Most of the platform people were
either resting, spending the day with town
friends or occupying the various city pull
pits. Mrs. Harris entertained quite a large

Lawson Gilbert and Mr.. and Mrs. l.. b.

largely by the vast array Of Kansas as

The morning prayer service was conduct

the congregation, n half dozen volunteer
prayers and short general discussion or

formal and therefore. for an early service,
most delightful. His special thought that
Pauls character was evenly balanced-and
that he had an unusual amount of common
sense, was strongly presented.
At the afternoon service the tabernacle
was comfortably filed to hear Bishop

kindly consented TO preach TO those whose

in which Charles Mosher. president OF the
dCfInct Capital National bank, of this
figured to the extent of stealing something
over a million dollars. His bank closed in

Herman warszawink, n Christianized
Hebrew. Suspended From the
PreSbyteriRn Church.

New York June 20.-Herman warsza-
WAX, the Chris;ianized Hebrew who has
been seeking admission into the Presbyter-
ian church as a minister, and who, for
long time, had the support of Rev. DIR.
John Hall. of the Fifth Avenue Presbyter-
ian church. was to-day publicly denounced
before the congregation of that church as
an immoral person and guilty Of gambling.
He was also suspended from the commun-
ion of the church. When the judgment was
read to the fashionable congregation, Mrs.
Warszawiak who was present, arose and de-
clared in a loud voice that her husband was
innocent. She was put out of the church,
while the pastor announced hymn to
quiet the congregation.
Mrs. Warszawiak said: MY husband is
innocent. L cannot hear him harshly spok-
en- Of before so many people and not defend
him."
The ushers, at a signal from DR.. Pritch-
ard, of Alexander chapel, who had taken
Dr. D. Halls place for the day, led Mrs.
Warszawiak from the church. The con-
gregation had begun TO sing the hymn
announced. Mrs. Warszawiak at first re-
sisted, but was prevailed upon TO leave.
Notwithstanding the singing of the hymn,
the excitement, though suppressed, was in
tense. After the incident, the services went
on as usual
The announcement of the finding of the
case of Warszawiak to-day was the cul-
mination of one OF the most interesting
church suits Of recent years. The young
man had done ministerial work among the
Hebrews. his own people. whom he had
left. Supposedly prospering in his work,
and taken into the friendship of one of
the most influential preachers Of this city,
he had. by finding Of his church been de-
clared a hypoCrite and gambler. The ses-
sion of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church had been investigating for a long
time the status of Warszawiak. Detectives
had been employed to look into the charges
and they had been assisted by Anthony
Comstock The specifications on which he
was found guilty charged him with play
ing roulette and gambling in pool room
and gambling house I'm Weehawken. n. J..
called the Hoffman house" The deci sion
in the case was reached last Thursday
night.

noticed the little girl coming along the
street he enticed her into the house, locked
the door and attempted to assault her. He
held his hand over the child's mouth to
prevent her from screaming, but was
frightened before he accomplished his pur-
pose. Geer afterwards threatened to kill
the child II she told the story. This is

DEATH RATE INCREASING.
Cuba-RebeIs Concentrating
Around Havana.

New York, June 2O-A dispatch to the
World from Havana says:
determination on the island Is an ap-
palling, actual fact. The death rate Is
actually increasing. A prominent Spanish
medical officer who has full knowledge OF
the interior says that should the war be
prolonged fifteen months the western half
Of the island will be entirely depopulated.
The death rate Is likely to double next
month Contagion will then NOW the peo-
pie down rapidly. The rains have turned
the interior into quagmires in many places.
The trocha is a pestilence ditch. The sol
diers are suffering terribly from fever and
dysentery Little of the smallpox vaccin-
alton is effective. With foresight, thou-
sands of pacificos might easily have beea
saved by vaccination.
A sanguinary engagement occurred We'd
nesday at Manague fifteen miles from
Havana. The insurgents attacked a col
umn of Spanish. and the latter lost heavily.
The details were suppressed here.
The rebels are certainly concentrating
around Havana. Trains have been fired into
repeatedly. A Spanish force, while re-
connoitering. was ambushed near San
Miguel. They fought bravely, but were
compelled to retire.

different as to his fate. He will assuredly
be shot unless strong action Is taken by

A study of the above history of the tariff

those who have been inclined to criticise
what they assume to be the slow action

prompt. and especially so in view Of the
fact that the party in control of the ad-

congress, a condition under which il has
seldom been possible to pass a tariff meas

time than has been or is likely to be oc-
cupied in the present instance.
