EARTHQUAKES IN MEXICO.
SeveHty-tOn Crane Thrown from Railroad
Into the Bay.

Mexico City, Sept. SO.-Advices
from Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus
OF the Tehuantepec National railroad,
which is being rebuilt by the English
contractor, state that Tuesday no less
than rs shocks of earthquake were felt,
causing much alarm. The most serious
damage WAS done to an immense 70.ton
crane used on the construction of the
breakwater, it being thrown from the
track into the bay. A majority of the
smaller cranes used on the works are
also reported to have been thrown out
OF place.
1t is probable that the construction
OF the artificial harbor will be delayed
six months, as the crane was thrown
into deep water, and it will require
time to recover it.

MINES IN GOOD SHAPE.
With Return of Men, Coal Output Would
be Large as Ever.

Philadelphia, Sept 80 - General
Manager Luther, of the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad company's coal
property, has informed the sales depart
ment of the company that all the Read
ing's important mines are in fairly
good condition, and that were the
miners to retrun to work, comparative-
ly little time will elapse before they
will 5e turning out their normal pro-
duction. 1t is true that several of the
Reading collieries are flooded, but
these have been abandoned for time
at least. Officials of the Pennsyl-
vania roads anthracite companies re-
port that their mines are in such con-
dition that when the miners go back
to work the collieries will be able to
produce ee.fourths OF their normal
output, and that within week they
would be in perfect shape.

STATE DEFEATS BOODLERS.
First Skirmlsh In Snyder Case Results in
Victory for Prosecution.

st. Louis. Oct. 1.-The first days
proceedings in the trial OF Robert NJ.
Snyder, the banker and promoter, of
Kansas City and New York, on charges
of bribery in connection with the pas
sage of the Central Traction bill several
years ago, ended in complete victory
for the state, every objection offered
by the defense being overruled by Judge
Ryan. Snyder was arraigned, but re-
fused to plead, and the court ordered
the clerk to enter plea of not guilty.
Tomorrow the selection OF a jury will
begin. 1t will then devolve upon the
state to prove that the defendant is
not resident of Missouri. The statute
OF limitations, which has sheltered all
the officials who took part in the deal,
is the legal loophole through which
Snyder's attorneys hope to pull him to
liberty.
