Shaken-Fifteen Persons Killed
and Many Injured.

Caracas, Venezuela. Oct. 2o.-At
4:46 a. m. to-day, Caracas was visited
by a severe earthquake. Fifteen per.
IONS were killed and many others in
jured.
Great damage vas done to build
ings, including the Pantheon and the
churches. The United States legation
was badly damaged, but all the occu-
pants escaped unhurt.
President Castro, who leaped from
a balcony on the second floor of tn,
government house, had one of his legs
broken.
Mr.. William Henry Devotion Hag.
gard had a narrow escape, the second
floor OIL the British legation having
fallen upon him, and buried him in
the debris.
The City of Caracas, which has fire.
quently suffered from earthquakes,
was visited last July by a series of
seismic disturbances, which did great
damage to property. There were sew
en- terrific shocks in quick succession
and the residents of the city were
terror stricken.

COAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Three Miners Killed and evcral Sc
verely Burned-Dimcult Work
of Rescue.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 31.-A heavy
explosion of gas occurred in slope NO
3 of No. 1 shaft of the Kingston Coal
Co., at Edwardsville. at three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, in which three
unfortunate miners lost their lives
and six others were badly burned,
Five of the six injured are in n pre-.
carious condition, and it is doubtful
if they can survive. When these men
were brought to the surface by the
rescuers the skin hung in shreds from
their bodies.
The work of rescue was dangerous,
as latter damp" had accumulated.
The first rescuing party that went
down the mine were driven back, and
two men in the party had to be car
ried out.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it blew down n great Sec
ton of the roof. 1t was thought at
first that there were a number of men
back Of the fall, but last night the
mine officials were of the opinion that
all the men had been taken out. The
relatives of two men report, however,
that they are still missing.
The accident was due to an employee
who diverted the air course unwit-
tingly and allowed the gas to ac-
cumulate in the place where the men
were at work.

GOOD IMITATION OF u R

On the Stairs, How.
ever,

$50 you have gone out on the north shore
to live, have you, old MANI" said a North
side young man to a friend who had gone
with his family to Kenilworth to spend
the summer, relates the Chicago Chronicle
Eyes, we have taken a house for the sum-
mer close to the edge of the lake and 1 tell
you it is bully, immense. 1t is great, for the
old man has improved in health out there
till he is getting as frisky as a schoolboy.
He said before we moved that if he could
only get where he could hear the surf when
he woke up mornings that it would do him
a world of good. The first morning after we
got there he woke up about five o'clock and
called out to mother, who was still asleep:
Say, ma, do you hear that surf coming
in on the shore? Isn't that the grandest
thing you ever heard?
MA protested that she didn't hear any
surf and wasn't listening for any. Father
sighed and went to sleep again, lulled by the
music of what he declared was the surf.
The door of his room was open and he sim.
ply heard the swish of our little housemaid's
broom over the carpet downstairs. She gets
up early every morning to do the front
rooms and her broom makes the finest imi-
tation of the surf you ever heard.
Now, If pa wakes up when it ism sweep
ing day and kicks because there isn't any
surf on ma just steps to the speaking tube
in the next room and tells Martha to sweep
up a little surf and father is soon asleep

FERRELL FOUND GUILTY.
The Murderer OF Express Messenger Lane
Convicted of Murder In the
First Degree.

M~arysville, O., Oct. 31.-The jury, at
midnight, returned a verdict of muir
der in the first degree, without rec.
ommendation, against Rosslyn H. Fer
rell for the murder, on the night of
August 10, last, of Charles Lane, an
express messenger on a Panhandle
east-bound train. The murder was
committed for the purpose of robbery.
Terrell secured $1,000 in money from
the safe of the Adams Express Co.
The verdict carries with it the death
penalty, which is electrocution. A
desperate effort was made to save the
prisoners life. The crime was not
denied, but the plea made that he was
mentally irresponsible and an attempt
was made to show that insanity was
hereditary.
The deliberations of the jury occu-
pied six hours and thirty minutes, and
the verdict was reached ut 11:40 last
night. Both Judge Melhorn and the
prisoner had retired for the night,
and nearly an hour was consumed be-
fore court could be convened, and the
verdict received.
When the verdict was read Fer
rell appeared to be taken by surprise
and his face flushed. This was the
first visible sign of emotion that had
been shown by him during the trial,
but he quickly regained composure,
and was led back to his cell without
having uttered a word. Judge Mel
horn discharged the jury, and Hon. j.
L. Cameron, counsel for the defense
at once gave notice of a motion for a
new trial.
One of the grounds of the motion
will be the sickness of Juror West
lake, who was taken with measles
shortly after the jury had retired to
deliberate. Mr.. Cameron claims ,iat
in his condition Mr.. Westlake would
have agreed to any verdict in order to
be released from duty. There were
not over twenty spectators in the
court room when the jury reported
and there was no excitement.

A Noted Knight Temp|ar
Owes His Health to Peruna.

Colonel 7. P. Moody, a prominent Knigh
Templar, is well known in every city in tn,
United States west of Buffalo, n. Y, as

In a recent letter from $500 Michigan av
lowing:
"FOr over twenty-five years
suffered from catarrh, and fol
over ten years 1 suffered from
catarrh of the stomach terribly.
"Ihave taken all kinds Of medi-
cines and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, a. thousands
of my acquaintance r aware
in different parts of the United
States, where 1 have travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over o year ago 1
started to take Peruna, and at
the present time 1 am better than
1 have been for twenty years.
"The soreness hasleft my stOm-
ach entirely and 1 am free from
indigestion and dyspepsia and
will say to all who IN troubled
with catarrh or stomach trouble
of any kind, don't put it off and
suffer, but begin to take Peruna
right away, and keep it up until
you are cured, as you surely will
be if you persevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with a bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
the country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna wlththe result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as well as she
ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says,
i. P. Moody.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly be-
coming a general curse. An undoubted rem
edy has been discovered by DR.. Hartman.
This remedy has been thoroughly tested
during the past forty years. Prominent men
have come to know of its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the subject. To
save the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect them
from disease. The disease that is at once the
most prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca
tarrh.
If one were to make a list of the different
names that have been applied to catarrh in
different locations and organs, the result
would be astonishing. We have often pub
lished a partial list of these names, and the
surprise caused by the first publication of it
to all people, both professional and non.
professional, was amusing. And yet We

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 30.-Octavia
Mena, formerly a clerk in the Office
of the captain of the port, was yester.
day found guilty of the murder. about
Q month ago, of Col. Pavon, of the
Cuban army, whom he killed in a
drunken row. The evidence showed
thai he homicide was entirely with.

While Mena was being taken from
the Jail to the court room, a mob
tried to lynch him, but the police sue

arrests.

in the explosion in the Presbyterian
church at Austin, Sunday night, will

putated, and it is feared that his left
leg will be lost.
The report that the explosion was
caused by acetylene gas was yester-
day found to be wrong. Lime light
apparatus, not acetylene, was en-
ployed in the stereoptican exhibitions
and it was the hydrogen gas tank OF
the apparatus which exploded.

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
Nay Delay the Prosecution of thu
Suit Against AlvOrd for
Some Time.

New York, Oct. 31.-Cornelius L. Al
rord, Jr., the ~embezzling note teller
of the First national bank, who was
arrested Monday in Boston, was ar
ranged in police court here yesterday
and remanded to police headquarters
till three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
in order to give the legal authorities
time to decide whether he shall be
tried before the United States or
state courts. Alvord was accompanied
by his counsel.
A conference had been arranged be-
tween United States District Attorney
Burnett and Asa Bird Gardner, dis
trict attorney of New York county, to
decide upon the disposition of Al
worlds case.
When Alvord was rearraigned in the
police court, yesterday afternoon,
Fisher A. Baker, counsel for the First
national bank, said that he had Sc
cured a warrant from the United
States district court for Alvord's ar
rest under the laws regulating en-
bezzlement and making false entries.
He said he would much prefer that
the prisoner go before the United
States courts for trial. This was OPP
posed by District Attorney Gardiner.
Alvord's attorney, apparently, took
little interest in this part of the pro-
ceedings. After some discussion the
whole matter went ove until to-day.
Alvord was committed to the Tombs.
1t appears probable that there may be
a long contest as to jurisdiction. Dis
trict Attorney Gardiner apparently
being determined that the prisoner
shall be tried in a state court.
