be formed under an executive head, 1t
being the duty of this executive board
to attend to the forming of these
checks weigh associations, and they
shall be paid at the rate of $1.S0 day
and expenses, while attending to their
duties. 1t was also agreed that COM
mittee be appointed to assume juris-
diction Of central Pennsylvania.

RESULTS OF A WYOMING QUAKE.

Casper, Wyo., June 17.-About O.
month or six weeks ago many citizens
noticed a slight motion of the earth.
while many in the surrounding coun-
try felt the quake, and dishes and loose
articles in the houses ratified in an
alarming manner. In Ba>es Park the
shock was much greater end mora
plainly felt. Its effects have just been
discovered.

came upon small cracks in the ground
made by the recent earthquake, which
grew larger as he advanced and
showed a. great depth.
He dismounted and investigated. He
dropped pebbles into the crevices and
listened attentively to the sound as the
stones bounded from side to side, un-
til it died away in the depths.
He went further and found the cracks
three feet across and he could discern
no bottom. He then came upon the
main or principal crack about forty
feet across and crawled cautiously and
looked down.
A further investigation showed a
space of about two acres that had sunk
about forty feet with perpendicular

BARNATO ABOARD SHIP.
A Fellow Passenger to Africa a Year
Ago Tells of His Eccentricities.

New Haven, Conn, June 17.-Arthur
Wilson, of this city, was a fellow pas
senger of Barney Barnato on the
steamer Tantallon Castle from South
ampton to Cape Town a year ago. II
was the last trip OF the diamond king
to the scene of his great successes, Mr..
Wilson observed Barnato's eccentrici-
ties closely, and he was convinced that
Barnato was insane.
In conversation this evening Mr.. Will
son said that Barnato was disgustingly
conspicuous, and that there was no
curb to his improperly of speech. At
a fancy dress ball which was held
aboard he appeared in the military
garb of a lieutenant of London, and
wore fiashy medals and insignias which
were destitute of significance. He was
the laughing stock of the occasion, but
of this he seemed unconscious.
The women passengers were con-
stantly conniving something in an ef-
fort to take the conceit out OF Barnato.
Once they sent him a huge package by
a steward, who announced it as a gift
from the ladies. Barnato united the
bundle, and after unrolling a welt OF
worthless paper came to two shilling
piece. His indignation at being fooled
knew no bounds.
