SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 15.-Ad- vices received from the more remote sections of southern and southwestern Utah show that the earthquake shock was very heavy ill some localities, and considerable damage was done. The shock was apparently the heaviest at Beaver City, where the Mormon meet ing house, the courthouse and the Bea- yer academy were badly damaged. es- pecially the last mentioned building, whose walls show great cracks. Chim- neys were toppled over and glass shat tered. Hardly house ill the town es- capped damage, many of them being badly cracked. No fatalities are re- ported Another slight shock was felt at Beaver yesterday morning. At Ce- dar City, Kanab and Parowan the shock is reported as being very severe, clustering being shaken from walls and brick buildings cracked.

A MINE IN FLAMES.
Five Dead and Many Missing at Pc
 cahontas, Va.

Five Dead and Many Missing at Po-
 cahontas, Va.
 BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Nov. 15.- Five dead bodies have been taken from the Baby mine at Pocahontas, Va. Several other persons are unaccounted for, and twenty-five persons have been rescued more or less severely burned.
 Early yesterday morning 1t was dis covered that the Baby mine of the Pocahontas Colliery company was on fire. An alarm was sent in, and the fire company responded promptly. In very short time after the fire fighters kad reached the mouth of the mine and were attempting to extinguish the flames, some of the firemen and others having rushed inside of the mine to ascertain the extent of the trouble and to assist miners entombed therein, q terrific explosion occurred, and many miners and their friends were more or less injured.
 It is supposed that the mine caught fire from defective electric light wire. Five bodies have been recovered, and it. is uncertain how many more are dead, though it is now known that there are several, perhaps eight or ten men, still in the mine unless they sue ceed in making their escape through the Tug river entrance.
 Twenty-Five persons have been res cued, all more or less burned, some seriously and perhaps fatally. The in- jured were carried to their homes in wagons, and all the physicians in Pc cahontas have been attending the in- jured.
 One or two other explosions have fol. lowed that of the early morning. and others are hourly expected. The mine is still burning, and clouds of smoke are constantly issuing from it's mouth. The fan has now been stopped, and as soon as possible to do so the mine will be re-entered with hope of extinguish- ing the fire.
 In 1884 Pocahontas experienced like occurrence, in which over 100 lives were lost.

Waterbury plays in Meriden to- night.
 The veteran, Tom Cotter, says he has definitely decided to quit playing polo. He played his last game Tues day night.
 Fred Doe is sorely perplexed. And he ought to be. When grandpa gets time to think few thoughts, there'll be something happen up his way Lowell Mail.
 A pretty good beginning for a team that has had no practice New Ha- ven is credited with having the strong est team in the league. yet Waterbury made her hustle to win out.
 King Lations has not lost his eagle eye yet. if one can judge from that record last night. The Wallingford fans must have been delighted with that fast game of juggling and de fense.
 We see by the papers that Manager Parsons of Lowell put on his skates and helped out his team take, fall out of his old friend. Fred Doe, and his polo club at Lewiston last Mon- day eening. Bill hasn't forgot how to play the game yet.
 Brockton could always do a lot of talking, and when the city was repre- sented in either the baseball or polo leagues the papers could do little else but knock" It seems natural to see some kind of kick in the Brocktou papers.-Proidence Telegram.
 No wonder they want Brockton in the American league after giving a trial to some of the other cities up that way. Reports sent ont about big crowds don't or won't pay the salaries. Two and three hundred people would look bad in print and eight hundred to one thousand sounds better.
 Manager Doe says that if the pres ent Lewiston aggregation isn't strong enough he will hire new players. It will be remembered that Doe found his team wasn't as smart as the others last year and he broke up the National league by offering some of the best players high salaries to sign with him. Doe says he will spare neither expense nor labor to make his team the best one in the New England league. Lewiston Journal. Why not get into the game yourself, Fred and amuse us?-Brockton Enterprise.

pro.nerous Repub1ic.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-According to the latest reports from the republic of Salvador, that country is enjoying period of peace and prosperity almost unparalleled in her history. Her crop of coffee, the principal product, prom ises to be unusually large, as does also ner crop of indigo. The fact that she exports about one-third more than she imports is evidence of the productive ness of the country. The financial con- dition of the republic is most satisfac- tory. For the last two years Salvador has had no foreign debt. The excellent condition of her commerce has kept the rate of exchange normal. Her mone- tary standard is silver

New Britain, Nov 15.-Danny Duane of New York met Eugene Reardon of Little Falls, N. r., here last night in what was scheduled for a twenty round bout, but the fight ended in the fifth round, the referee declaring Duane the winner on a foul Duane had the better of the contest on points until Reardon struck him low and the former fell prostrate in the ring. Rear don admitted the foul. but claimed it was unintentional. The referee took the same view of it, but said he was compelled to give the decision to Duane. Young Maher of Hartford knocked out Kid Lewis of the same city in ten seconds, and Shorty Cans of Hartford whipped ''Zeke" Cables of Walingford in the fifth round.

Both young men have started i'll to train and again has the riyaly sprung up between the two leading athletic cubs Of the city. The Washington Hills will back Roach for all the money in sight and the Mccarthy will get all the backing that is necessary. A new platform will be built for the contests and it will be a little higher than the last one, which was too low for some of the specta- tors to see whether fall was made or not Interest in the big match is still at fever heat and Kelly is gain ing friends and packers every day. Professor Dwyer will need to be in the best of condition for Kelly Is strong and if by any chance he ever gets the strangle hold on the professor it will be all day with him.
 Professor Dwyer has sent reply to MT Llndin in Worcester and the terms he offers will make that wrestler take to the high grass.

pion the contest should not last more than ten or twelve rounds, for Jeffrles can hit very hard when man rushes at him, If, however, Ruhlin observes caution and acts largely On the defen- siye himself, the fight should go the limit of twenty rounds, with a bate possibility of the decision being q draw, but the chances favoring yer dict for the champion.
 That Ruhlin can get inside Jeffries's guard and land a knockout blow is hardly probable. The Ohio man is not a hard hitter and general mixup would afford him the only opportun ty to infiict serious damage. Jefffies eschews mixups.
 The general sentiment of sporting men all over the country favor a vic tory for the champion. He will un- occasionally go into the ring a 2 to fayorite
 The betting on the big fight began in earnest yesterday, and before the men enter the ring there will be big for tune wagered on the result. In all pool rooms the prevailing odds were 100 to 45, with more Ruhlin money in sight than Jeffries. It looks very much as if the admirers of the cham plOA were AUluluS Oi1 lOI tO boS they may have to take worse.
 One thing that has made the Jeffrias people doubly confident is the fact that Ruhlin has not shown up any too well boxing with Denver Ed Martin, who is a very clever man. Martin, it is said, has made the Akron Giant look like a second rater. This has affected the betting. but Madden and Ruhlin say that they do not care what the odds are as long as they win. In fact, they hope the public does support lief fries, as they may want to bet a few hundred before the fight begins. It was reported that Ruhlin has bet S2OO on himself, but he denies that he has risked a cent.
 The largest bet recorded yesterday was made by ''Zeke' Abrams, who placed $1,500 against $600. Frank Sanford, a diamond broker of New York, placed $260 on Ruhlin against $500 at Harry Corbett's cafe. Lou Houseman tried to bet $1, ,000 on Jef- fried against $500, but found no takers.
 Adolph Spreckles, who lost fortune backing Fitzsimmons against Jeffries, is trying to recoup on Ruhlin. He made his first bet of $250 against $500 before noon. If Spreckels hazards as much money in the pool rooms as he usually does, the odds are sure to shorten and the Jeffries supporters may get even better than 1 to 2 for their money. Mike Katzenstein. who does most of Nose Gunst's betting, an- nOunced that he had several thousand to place on the champion. but succeed ed in getting on only $200 at 2 to 1.

 Battle-Notes About the Game.
 New Haven, Nov 15.-Victory crowned the first attempt of the New Haven polo team in the game last evening with W'aterbury's quintet. But the latter played an excellent game and fought tooth and nail for the lead AS it was the game was un- certain until near the end of the thlru period. New Ravens victory was only won by hard work, and had Grif- fin had a stronger man than Allen to support him the result might have been a victory for the visitors. Chat field and Berry both did fine work. Cunningham went into the game with great yigor. He is nimble and lively and followed the ball everywhere. He was loudly cheered for his fine drives and excellent rushes. Bone nor Cana van lost none of their popularity and Hausman put up good game at half back. Conway began to kick, as usual, toward the middle of the last period, but in his own playing the rules of the game were openly violated behind the referees back. During the assem- bling of the spectators and between the periods music was furnished by the Second regiment orchestra. Fol lowing is the lineup and score:

Big Teams in Readiness for the Bat
 ties To-Morrow.
 Ithaca, N. T., Nov 15.-The Cornell football team yesterday afternoon took it's last practice before the game with Columbia in New York on Saturday. There was no scrimmage, the entire time being devoted to running through signals and perfecting team play. In this work the men showed more snap and life than has been in evidence since the Princeton game and 1t gave the coaches hope of making strong front against the men from Morning side Heights.
