An Earthqueke.

Yokohama and the neighborlng To
kio are said to have about fifty earth
quake shocks a year. Most Of them
are Insignificant but now and then
comes one of different sort. In 1891
the Japan Mail described the expe-
rience Of q man who had witnessed the
terrible earthquake at Gifu.
He had Just finished dressing when
the first shock came. He crawled and
dragged himself out Of the house, for
to walk was all but impossible. The
next moment, so highly strung were
his nerves, he burst into laughter at
seeing the remarkable way in which q
girl was moving down the garden
path, stepping high in the air, as 1t
seemed.
Then, looking over his shoulder, he
saw great and ancient temple, which
he had been admiring the previous
day, leap into the air and fall in dread
full ruin.
Looking again to his front he saw
the whole town in an Instant swept
away before his eyes, and out Of the
great cloud Of dust came screaming,
gesticulating, wildly frantic crowd of
men, women and children, rushing
hither and thither, the,v knew not
where, for refuge from che great de-
struction which had come upon them.

The Elks' Reception
Monday Night
R. w. Tilford Presided as Master
Of Ceremonies, and a Good
Time was Had.

One of the pleasant occasions OF the
week was the Elks social reception
at their lodge rooms last Monday night,
which was attended by about sixty
members OF the lodge. Elk r. w. Til
ford presided as Exalted Master OF
Ceremonies and under his direction
everything passed off smoothly and jov-
fully. The Elks are particular as to
lodge room department and etiquette
but on this occasion the rules were very
rigid and strict, and many were the

of the principal features of the evening
was sumptuous spread at which all
fell to with good and hearty anpetites.

Out of the Ordinary.
A case out of the ordinary, and
which was therefore not without
interest, was heard before Jack
son justice of the peace few
days ago. Mat Howard, colored,
had horse killed by the Illinois
Central railroad. He declared the
animal was a valuable young one,
and worth $500 OF any mans
money. The price Of the horse
depended very largely on the age,
and the plaintiff was very much
surprised when the claim agent of
the road came into court Juggling
the head of the beast with him.
A blind man could have felt of the
teeth and told that the horse that
carried them was ancient. They
were worn off even with the
gums, and one or two were decay
ed. Experienced horsemen were
called to testify, and, after exam
ining the teeth, have all agreed
that the horse was not less than
thirty years of age. The court
awarded the darkey SIS, instead
of the $85 demanded, and he left
for home apparently satisfied.
ANOTHER CONTINUANCE.
The case Of the State VS.. B. E.
DeuaI, has again been continued
till next term, and the State reve-
nue. agent has about despaired of
ever securing o conviction. De.
vail is the ex-sheriff of Jones
county, and in January, 1895, was
checked up about nine nine thous-
and dollars short in his accounts.
His bondsmen have long since
made good most of the shortage,
and repeated efforts have been
made to bring DevalI to trial on
the criminal charge of embezzle-
ment, but he has always succeed
ed in securing a delay. He Sc
cured change of venue to Lau-
