NIGHT OF TERROR
WHEN CARACAS SHOOK

Some interesting details of the recent
earthquake az Caracas, Venezuela, are
given in the following from the Ven
ezueIa Herald:
on Sunday, the 18th of October, the
town of Caracas celebrated the Saints
day of Simon Bolivar. The festivities
were somewhat dampened by rain,
which fell in torrents during the day,
but toward evening the weather again
became serene. the stars came out.
and all retired without the slightest
suspicion that the night was to be
other IN tranquil. At l o'clock in
the N. ng Of the 18th the thermOm-
eter ma ed p degrees scentigrade, the
sky was cloudless and the air cool and
still. At 4: 45 a terrible cracking awoke
the town; the cracking was succeeded
by q series of sharp shocks of short
duration. but exceptional violence,
while from the interior of the earth
arose q dull, strange. iLdefinably mys-
terious noise, the character of which il
is impossible to analyze.
LAS described by an eyewitness, the
scene at this moment was one of ex-
IRENE terror and confusion. It was
the hour just before the dawn, and
pitchy dark, a darkness so deep and
oppressive that it produced the sensa-
ton of being beneath the earth rather
than on it's surface. The noise made
by falling houses, the breaking of glass
animals, and, rising above all, the
screams Of the people overcome with
terror, produced a din which will never
be forgotten by those who were in Ca
racas during those terrible moments.
THE movement of the earth lasted
about thirty-One seconds, the direction
being from east to west. There were
two distinct shocks, each sufficiently
violent to throw water in an ever or
basin for a yard in every direction.
Between the two, according to several
witnesses, a red light illumined the
sky.
after the first few moments of stu
por had passed and people began to re-
alize the Importance of the disaster.
the entire population poured into the
streets, and men and women, old peO-
pie and children, in the most unusual
and fantastic costumes, were gesticu-
lating, crying aloud, weeping and ShuS
passing the remainder Of the night.
AT 5:25 the day broke with its ac-
custOmed spiendOr, just as if nothing
abnormal had happened. The town was
still covered with a thick cloud of dust,
but # could presently be seen that it
had escaped annihiiation, although It
had suffered greatly-hardly a house
having been left uninjured. while many
had their roofs fallen in, others their
walls either wholly down or fearfuIIy
! cracked. The loss in property was very
great, but the number OF fatalities was
much smaller than had at first been
feared. Only ten lives were lost and
thirty-One seriously injured among the
| latter General Cipriano Castro and Fa-
ther Nunez, the curate of Altagracia
and one of the candidates of the arch
bishopric. Two French women and
two Italians were among the dead, but
the American, English and French col
Onies escaped without injury.
Almost all of the public buildings
were seriously injured. The ministry

PONDS STORIES OF
FAMOUS LECTURERS

Major J. B. Pond takes US far back
into the first dsys of the Lyceum bust
ness with his book, which has Just
come from the press of the G. w. Dill
bingham company. 'Eccentricities of
Genius" Beginning with his first lee
teurer, Ann Eliza Young, the nine
teenth wife of Brigham Young, he tells
curious and striking things of all the
lecturers whom he has taken through
the United States and England. 1t
makes an imposing list In II are such
names of John 3. Cough. Wendell Phil
lips. William Lloyd Garrison, Charles
Sumner, Frederick Douglass, Henry
Ward Beecher. the Rev. DR.. Joseph
Parker. Dean Hole, Dean Stubs. Susan

bic, Max O'Rell, Henry NJ. Stanley.
George KEENAN,, Frederick Villiers, Sir
Edwin Arnold. Ian Maclaren, Alexan-
der Black, Bill Nye and James Whit
comb Riley.
Perhaps the most delightful chapter
in the book is the one on Henry Ward
Beecher. Over Major Pond, as over
thousands, nay. tens Of thousands of
others, the wonderful personality of the
great man exercised an unlimited sway
which death hardly has modified.
Mr.. Beecher and Major Pond travelled
nearly 800 goo miles together. He lee
tured 1,2Gf times under the majors
management.
While coming from New England one
day with Mr.. Beecher, says Major
Pond, Colonel IngersoIl was in the same
car. After a pleasant salutation be-
tween the two, the colonel went to his
seat. In his mischievous way Mr..
Beecher said, 81 have written that
mans epitaph." He showed one writ
ten on the margin of newspaper, two
words: Robert Burns"
Bill Nye was an editor when I first
met him. says Major Pond. and as I
had been printer, of course. I felt
akin TO him. I had formed an attach
ment for him that made me wish 10
know him, so when found myself at
Laramie on a return trip from Califor-
MIA improved the opportunity to make
his acquaintance. The trains from east
and west across the country met at
Laramie and made a stop of one hour.
and Laramie was lively city during
that time.
