October 80, 1875 killed $50 persons and
destroyed $500 houses. One of 1882 is
also memorable; and that of Septem-
Der 20, 1890, demolished the seawall
that protected the inner harbor. The
hurricanes at these times often sweep
away crops and destroy plantations.

Earthquakes.
OF the earthquakes Sir John Bowring
writes that "the destructive ravages
and changes produced by them are no.
where more remarkable than in the
philippines. They have pro-
duced great changes in the geography
of the islands. They have ov-
erturned mountains, filed up valleys,
deso!atcd extensive plains, and opened
passages from the sea into the interior
and from the lakes into the sea. He
mentions as especially "calamitous"
the earthquakes Of 1906, 1924 and 1928.
In the more recent instance of June.
1903, the old town of Manila was rem
1ered mass of ruins" and many per-
sons were buried alive. Four hundred
are reported to have been killed and
wo thousand injured, and the loss of
property is estimated at eight million
'ollars. This earthquake was also very
destructive at Cavite. The many vol

The rnSurrcction OF 1896.

TIE characteristics and pre:ent at
titude of the Indians of the Philippines
are illustrated by the instruction
which was initiated in August, 1885,
and has since continued. There had
been previous similar risings, notably
one in 1872, but none where the insur-
gents were so numerous or formidable.
Tie moving causes of this outbreak are
to be found in the oppressive taxes, ex-
cises, license fees, and other burdens

TIIE JURY DISAGREED.
o5her Mistrial of the Case Against
Senator Kenney,
TEN BALLOTS WERE TAKEN.

On the First and Last Ballots There
Were Eight Votes For Acquittal,
and on One Ballot Ten Favored n
Verdict of Not Guilty.
Wilmington, Del, Dec. 20.-After de-
liberating since 6 o'clock last Friday
evening the jury in the Kenney case
was discharged yesterday afternoon
without having reached a verdict. This
Is the second mistrial of the case Last
July United States Senator Richard r.
Kenney was placed on trial charged
with aiding and abetting Teller Boggs,
of the First National bank, of Dover,
in misappropriating bank funds. Boggs
has already pleaded guilty. and was
the chief witness against the senator
in both cases. After the first disagree
ment a charge of conspiracy was join
ed to the original Indictment.
Colonel Ezekiel Cooper ana Thomas
S. Clark, both prokinent Delawareans'
are now serving terms in the Trenton
penitentiary for completely with Boggs.
The latter, who returned from exile
and admitted his guilt, has not yet been
sentenced on account Of his availability
as a witness in these and other cases
yet to be tried.
At 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon the
jury sent word to Judge Bradford that
it was impossible for them to agree,
and asking him to discharge them.
This the Judge refused to do. Two
hours later the jury came into court
and made the same statement, first
through Foreman Cannon and then in
dividually. Judge Bradford said that
do
he would haV- 10 discharge them, as
in order to reach q verdict they should
be governed solely by their own delib-
erations and the court would not coerce
them. He very much regretted that in
a case of this magnitude the prosecu-
ton of the defendant had to stop be-
cause of their inability to agree. He
said that from schedules admitted in
evidence. together with other admis-
sions, he had expected they would
reach a verdict within "a hours. 1t
was his opinion that there was sufficient
evidence to warrant a verdict.
About ten ballots were taken by the
jury. on the first they stood eight for
acquittal, three for conviction and one
blank. The next ten varied slightly
from these figures, and on one they
stood ten for acquittal and two for
conviction. The last ballot was the
same as the first. District Attorney
Vandegrift will report the case to the
department of justice at Washington,
and await instructions as to his fu
ture course.
Although Senator Kenney will say
nothing concerning this second mis-
trial, his friends profess to be much
disappointed, as they had expected an
acquittal.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it,
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tism, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips. stomach trouble, desire to Wnate
often, Or a burning or scaIding in passing it =;
if after passing there is an unsatisfed feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, Inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing OF the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Rriphts Disease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilners Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is worldwide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for want of it.

A Business Administration.

The taxpayers of Schuylkill county
are experiencing what they have long
desired, but was denied them-a bust
ness administration of the County
Commissioners office. The HERALD
last evening contained in its news
columns "A short review of the advance
sheets of County Controller Snyder's
annual statement, from which it was
shown that during the seven months
administration of the present efficient
Board Of Commissioners and Con
troller Snyder, the affairs of the
county have been conducted at saw
ing Of about $1,000 per month less
than that Of any previous admins
tration.
This is certainly II state of affairs
that is new TO the taxpayers of the
county, and one which they welcome
with great deal of satisfaction. The
present Board of Commissioners was
appointed in May last, and when
they entered Office found the affairs
OF the county in amuddled condition,
yet Notwithstanding all this they
have the proud satisfaction of closing
the year with a clean balance sheet.
Every bill contracted since that time.
every temporary loan ordered, will
be met by January 1st, and the only
outstanding orders at the close Of the
year will be the salaries of the Off
cials and clerks az the court house.
The taxpayers win more fully ap-
preciate the administration of Com
missioners Kantner and Stauffer
when it is remembered that the old
Board Of Commissioners carried over
from 1897 to the present year bills ag-
gregatiug $4,000. Another crafty
ing feature is the capable and econom-
ical administration of County Solici-
tor Beehtel, who has conducted the
legal business Of the Office, including
Il number of important litigations,
without any extra cost to the county.
Last year extras in this respect
amounted to over 81, 10000.
In this connection it is only lust to
say that Controller Snyder con
tributed largely in reducing the
county expenses. There is no NOR,
conscientious or faithful official OF
1.-THE hill" and he will retire from
office with the proud satisfaction o
having performed his full duty. /

A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE,
Ecvcrul Persons seriously Injured-An
Act of signal IIproism.

Ecvcrul Persons seriously Injured-An
Act of signal Heroism.
Terte Haute. Ind, Dec 2O-The worst
fire IN the history of Terre Haute took
place last night, causing a loss of 81
600, ,O0O. The blaze started in the big
show windows of the Havens & Geddes
company, wholesale and retail dealers
I'm dry goods and notions. The cause
is not definitely known, but it is sup
posed that a live electric wire set fire
to the cotton with which the window
was decorated, and before the blaze
could be eXtinguished the fire spread
to the decorations Of evergreens in the
store, and the building was wrapped in
flames i'm an incredibly short space of
time.
The fire started at $3.50 o'clock, when
half of the employees of the establish
ment were at their homes for supper.
There is a force of 800 or more in the
retail department Of the establishment
and had the entire force been present
the loss of life would have been fright
full. As it was. Kate Maloney, a clerk
in the notion department, is lying at
the point of death. She sprang from
a window in the second story and sus-
tained injuries from which she will
prODaDly die, MISS Lucia ferguson, q
clerk i'm the same department, jumped
just before Miss Maloney but was
caught by some men who were watch
ing for her She was internally in
jured, but will recover. Louis Kramer,
the trimmer, who was in the show
window when the fire started, is fright
fully burned about the head and arms.
When rescued from the burning build
iTgr ha
ged to be killed. Firemen Austerloo,
Walsh and Shay were badly injured in
the falling of the floor in the Albrecht
building, adjoining, and are now in the
city hospital. Several firemen are in
a precarious condition from burns.
A heroic act on the part of a man
named Peters, a travelling salesman
from Chicago, called forth cheers from
the crowd watching the flames. Peters
was standing in the crowd, and saw
the Maloney and Ferguson girls appear
at the second story windows. The
girls were panic stricken and were in
momentary danger of going down with
the floor. Peters sprang through the
door with his coat over his head, and
dashing through the flame and smoke
reached the window at which the girls
appeared, and after talking with them
swung out from the ledge and dropped.
His example was followed by the two
girls.
