New Zealand news received by
steamer gives details Of great destruc-
tion of property in the Cheviot district
by an earthquake on November IS. In
the town of Cheviot and count try, the
damage will reach ego, 900. Scarcely a
building was left standing. The fine
homestead of Sir George Clifford was
wrecked
Great assures opened in the earth
and water issued from them. In one
office the heavy safe was thrown
across the room and brick chimneys
fell like toy houses. The people are
panic-stricken as the shocks still con-
tinue.
At Wailan river great cracks opened
in the river bed, into which water
poured. Then they closed and volumes
of water were sent hundreds of feet
into the air.

FORTY-FiVE CREMATED
IN MEXICAN MARKET.
Market House at Zacatecas, Mexico, Col.
lapses and Forty five Persons Lose
Their Lives.

Forty-five lives were lost and over a
score of persons injured, several of
them SO badly that they cannot re-
cover, in fire in Zacatecas, Mex,
which broke out in the market-house
Saturday and caused collapse of the
building Fifteen bodies have been
taken from the ruins and large force
is at work clearing away the debris in
order to recover others, though there is
no hope that any of those caught in the
collapse of the big structure will be
found alive. Among those caught in
the collapse were several of the minor
officials charged with the management
of the building.
The market-house was one Of the
largest buildingsin Zacatecas, and was
owned by the city. Its lower portion
was composed chiefly of eold-storage
cellars, in which local merchants stored
their perishable goods, and it was in
the basement section that the fire
originated. The flames had gained
such headway when discovered that
the entire building was seen to be
doomed, and the efforts of the fremen
and citizens were directed to saving
goods from the storage compartments
in the basement and on the first floor.

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
SUFFERS FROM FIRE.
Physical Building In Ruins-Loss is s25, 900
Fully Covered by Insurance.


The Physical building at the Univer-
sity of Utah, at Salt Lake, burned to
the ground Friday morning, causing a
loss of S25, 900 on the building and con-
tents. The loss is fully covered by in
surance, and the structure will be re-
built as soon as possible. A portion OF
the apparatus in the building was
saved, and this has been moved into
the workshop The cause of the fire
is unknown.
The FIRE was discovered by boys re-
siding near the grounds, and an alarm
telephoned TO the fire station. Owing
to the long run, fully two miles, up
hill all the way, and delay in getting
the water turned on, the fire gained
such headway that it could not be
checked. An explosion of chemicals
scattered the flames throughout the
building before the fire department
arrived.
The structure which suffered from
fire is near the northwest corner of the
university grounds. Its dimensions
are 62x12o feet. 1t contained on the
first floor the shops, mechanical draw
ing room, mineralogy room and chemi-
cal supply store room. On the second
floor were the physical laboratory,
French and German rooms, and physi--
cal supply store room. The third floor
contained three chemical laboratories
qualitative, quantitative and normal
the chemical library, chemistry class
rooms, and store room for chemical
supplies. The offices of Professor
Acree and Professor Wilcox of the
chemistry department, Richard Lyon,
professor of mining engineering, Pro-
fessor Arnoldson, in charge of instruc-
tion in French and. German, and George
Silver, in charge Of the shop, were also
in the building.
The fire started in the qualitative
chemistry laboratory, in the northeast
corner of the third floor. 1t may have
started from Bunsen burner, care
lessly left burning under shelf. 1t
may have been due to the spilling OF
phosphorus or some other easily ignit-
ed chemical. The cause will probably
always re main a mystery.
