PART OF MEXICO SHAKING.
Eastern Part of the Isthmus, IT Is
Feared, May Sink Into the Sea.

OAXACA, Mexico. Feb. 1.-Earthquakes
in the region of the city of Tehuantepec in
this State, are puzzling the local scientists.
The localization of the seismic phenomena
is remarkable, fully ninety per cent. of the
movements being confined within a space
of fifty miles in one direction and twenty
five miles in another, and one of the note
worthy things is that the subterranean
roaring and rumbling are frequently heard
without any connection on the earths
crust. Fortunately no loss Of life has been
reported. That something is going to hap
pen is believed. 1t Is entirely within the
limits of possibility that the Eastern part
OF the isthmus will sink, allowing the sea
to come in, which would reduce the width
of the isthmus considerably.

The KimbaIIs Wei Known Here.


Mr.. Kimball and family came to Indian
apolis about four years ago. They lived on
North Meridian street, near st. Clair, for
some time, and also lived in the Blacherne.
They occupied apartments in the building
when Mrs. Kimball and daughter left for
the East about Christmas, to join Mr. Kim
ball. Mr.. Kimbali was in the glove trade
being identified as a jobber and manufac-
turers' agent, with the factories at GLOW
ersville, N. Y. Twelve years ago he brought
his wife and daughter from Boston to Peru,
Ind, where they resided for several years.
Mrs Kimball was prominent in Episcopal
Church work in the city of Peru.
Some months age Mr.. Kimbalps business
took him to New York city. He expected
to make that city his headquarters, al
though his business interests were princi-
pally at Gloversville. 1t being impossible
for him to return to Indianapolis for Christ
mas, he sent for his wife and daughter to
join him in the East. They left here with
the expectation of returning about Jan 10.
However, friends of Mrs. Kimball in this
city received word from her that they would
be detained at Gloversville until Feb. /,
when Mr. Kimball would return home with
them. Monday the superintendent of the
Blacherne received a letter from Mr.. Kim
ball to the effect that the family would
leave for Indianapolis yesterday. Mr. Kim
ball made his headquarters here with Hen
erickson, Letter DC Co. Both Mrs. I<imbal.
and the daughter, Miss Nellie, were mem
bsrs of Christ Church. They were both as
sociated with the work of the Guild and
they took great interest in the Girls In
dustrial School. Mrs. Kimball was looking
forward to the entertainment to be given by
the Industrial School next week and was
eager TO get home and assist in the prep
arations. Mrs. Blanchard who is at the
head of the school, said yesterday she relied
greatly on Mrs. Kinball and her daughter.
They were always ready to assist in the
work.
There were many people in the city who
knew the Kimballs and who were warm
friends of the family. Mr.. Kimball was a
member Of the Columbia Club and belonged
to the New England Society A few weeks
ago, while Mr.. Hendrickson. OF the firm of
Hendrickson, Lcher & Co., was in the East,
he visited the Kimball family. They spoke
of their contemplated return to Indianapolis
