Defendants Claim Land.

The city of Philadelphia, acting as
trustee under the will of Stephen Girard
is the plaintiff in an action of ejectment,
the hearing of which was begun before
Judge Bechtel at Pottsville this week.
The suit is against Winfred Cleary and
twenty other defendants who have pos
session of a large tract of valuable land
in West Mahanoy township, Schuylkill
county, which is claimed by Girard es-
tate. The defendants are unable to
show any deed for the lands, but say
they have had possession for twenty-one
years, which fact, it is argued, gives them
IA legal title.
The local agents of the Grard estate
were under impression for the past
twenty years that the CIearys possessed
lease and therefore did not disturb
their possession of the lands. The suit
is an action in ejectment.

Shaken by an Explosion.

More than $50 pounds of powder and
dynamite went up with Il roar which
shook Mauch Chunk as if the town had
been struck by an earthquake, at $40
o'clock yesterday morning. The ex-
plosion took place in the powder house
located near the gas plant, about 800
yards below the town, where Richards
Il Dallas, contra actors, are rebuilding the
Central Railroad of New Jersey tracks
that were washed away by the December
flood. No one was in or near the house
at the moment of the explosion, one of
the foremen having discovered fire in the
building and shouted timely warning.
There is scarcely a building on Sus-
quehanna street that did u have its
window frames wrecked, and the people
were much alarmed. The Lehgh Val
ley depot, directly opposite where the
powder house stood, has not whole
pane of glass in it, neither has the large
tive-story Mansion House on It's Susque-
hanna street front. Other heavy suf-
ferers on this street are: Hawks hotel
Schmit's cafe, Mrs. Sharkey's store,
McGeady's millinery, Hamill's shoe
store, and the Central hotel. The loss
to the various properties by reason of
broken windows will probably reach
81, 200. Manus Curran, OF East Mauch
Chunk, was hit by hying glass.

by steam and burned by hot Goals and
ashes at an early hour yesterday morn
ing while engaged at their work.
The accident was due to the bursting
OF an elbow on a steam pipe located
beneath the boilers. The fireman
noticed a leak at that point and called
to the engineer to investigate. Both
men were looking at the leak when
burst and the pent-up steam rushed out
upon them. They were also covered
with hot Goals and ashes from under
meath the boilers.
The fireman was the first to recover
and in his excitement he rushed from
the building and ran to his home on
Walnut street. The engineer, recover
ing from the shock and finding mis- com
panon missing, instituted search aud
failing to find him, turned his attention
to the boilers.
Despite his burns and pains, he shut
down the plant, after giving signal Oh
the lights to the police for assistance.
Officers O'Donnell and Welsh, after
receiving notice on the arc lights that
something was wrong at the plant,
hurried TO the light house and found
the engineer in terrible agony. Physi-
clans were summoned for both unfortu
nate men, and after the doctors had
treated the engineer he was taken to
his home on North Ridge street.
Mr.. McCollum was taken at o'clock
yesterday morning to the Miners hospi
tai. His injuries were aggravated by
the intense cold he came into contact
with on his way home. His condition
is very serious.
Mr.. Mclaughlin is receiving treat
ment at his home. He is badly dis
figured as a result of the accident, but
there is no danger at present.
Both men had an extremely narrow
escape from instant death.

from the City of Mexico says a tele-
gram has reached that city announc-
ing that the city of Chilpancino, in the
state Of Guerrero, suffered severely
from Thursdays earthquake shock
and that 600 persons were killed.
The same shock caused panic in
the Pan-American congress in the City
of Mexico. The afternoon session was
in progress when premonitory trem-
bling spread CONSERVATION through
the assembly and for nearly one min
ute afterward the gilded hall of ses-

loon of an ocean liner. The delegates
sprang from their chairs and seized
their desks in alarm, but were reas-
sured by the calmness of the Mexi-
cans. The proceedings were inter
rupted for fully quarter of an hour.
The shock of the earthquake was
felt in many cities and towns. In the
City of Mexico the earthquake was
felt at 5:17 p. m. The first movement
was one trepidation and was very
sharp 1t was followed by a gentler
oscillatory movement north north

being 55 seconds. Beyond a few cracks

were among those present.
Mr.. Clark said the plan proposed by
the Commercial Cable company con-
templated exclusive arrangements
with the lines in the Far East, the ef-
feet of which would restrict the busi.
ness to this one line, preventing COM
petition and such advantages to the
government and public as would &C
crue from competition.
General Greedy stated that about TO-
900 miles of cable and telegraph were
now under government charge. He
was strongly favorable to government
