The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union are rejoicing over
their successful fight with the
gam bling dens of Florence We
congratulate ourselves that our
union, just in its infancy, and
under The leadership of our very
efficient president, Mrs. Edwards,
and her most excellent helper,
Mrs. Whitney, has done wonders
in so short time and we have
every reason to believe the good
work will go on, but we are very
sorry to have to call the attention
OF our eighty-fve mem bers to the
fact that there WAS very poor at
tendance at our last two meetings.
EeGh woman who has this work
thoroughly at heart can help make
every meeting success Each
member can secure at least one
new mem Der and thus increase the
mem bership of the union.
Each woman has a part to do
and must do her part if she expects
to see good results. Please do not
think that because you do not hold
some particular office that you will
not be missed; your presence is
needed at every meeting, just as
much as if you were president or
secretary. We must hold together
for Gin union there is strength :"
The hour is not spent in gossip,
but is spent in bringing out the
best there is in US. We meet every
Tuesday afternoon in the Albion
parlors; come and learn for your
selves what we do.
At our last meeting we we're
pleased to have with us Mrs.
Burger, a worker from Canon,
who gave us agood talk and very
cordial invitation to attend and
take part in the district convention
to be held in Canon City on the
7th and Sth of May She urges
that large delegation go from
our union and promises free en-
tertainment to all. State Presi-

Only Fifty Seconds.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. I7.-One of the most
terrible catastrophes in the history of the
State of Guerrero is reported TO have oc-
Cured late yesterday afternoon when an
extremely violent earthquake shock was
felt at Chilpancingo, causing great loss Of
life and injuring many persons. Details
from the stricken district are very meager,
but scattering reports received here indi-
cate that probably 300 persons were killed
and as many more injured. 1t is known
that the state capitol the parish church
and many business houses and residences
are in ruins and there is much suffering as
a result of the awful seismic disturbance.
One of the edifices that suffered most was
tine Federal Telegraph Office, which explains
the paucity of news that has so far reached
this city. Meager details finally began to
arrive here The telegraph lines and ap-
paratus at Chilpancingo were badly dam
aged. but the employees, all of whom were
uninjured, quickly proceeded to erect an
improvised telegraph Office on the outskirts
of the city.
The number OF deaths was greater in the
parish church than in any single place, as
crowd of worshipers was gathered there
for the afternoon service. The solid ma
the worshipers and several people were
killed.
The War Department has ordered troops
in the neighborhood to cooperate in the
work of resuce. Until this work is com
pleted it will be impossible to accurately
learn the number of victims 1t is be-
lieved however, that this is one of the
most destructive seismic phenomena that

tional capital.
Earthquake shocks were felt i'm many
other cities and towns In Mexico City
the earthquake took place at 5.17 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. and was of such vio-
lence as TO shake the most substantial
buildings. The Pan-American Congress
was in session at the time and many of
the delegates were greatly alarmed. The
first movement here was one of trepidation
and was very sharp. 1t was followed by
an easier oscillatory movement north
northeast to south-southwest. The dura-
tion was fifty-five seconds. The damage
in this city was only slight.
The State of Guerrero has always been
the focus of seismic disturbances. Reports
received here tonight state that the shock
was very severe at Chilapa. No casualties
are SO far reported from there. The dura-
ton OF the Chilpancingo shock was less
than that in Mexico city having lasted

BATTLED WITH WOLVES
WISCONSIN FARMERS DESPERATE
ENCOUNTER WITH BEASTS.
His Flesh Literally Torn from His
Body i'm Many Places, and Physi-
clans Say He VIII Die.

LACROSSE, Wis, Jan. 17.-After des-
perate struggle with a pack of wolves Olaf
Halesrud. a farmer who lives near here.
is in a critical condition at his home, with
the flesh literally torn from his body in
many places. Physicians say he cannot
live.
Last night Halesrud was awakened by a
disturbance among the animals in his barn
yard On going out he surrounded by
a pack of wolves. He attempted TO regain
his house before escape was entirely cut
off, but before he had gotten twenty feet
the wolves were swapping and snarling at
his heels. The farmer attempted to defend
himself with a club. which he had snatched
up, but several times he was forced TO the
ground, with the wolves upon him. Each
time. however. he managed to fight them
off until he regained his feet. Fighting his
way inch by inch. he finally succeeded in
reaching the door of his dwelling. and,
half fainting, he staggered in and drew the
bolt. Wolves have been so numerous and
their work so destructive in this vicinity
of late that an organized effort will be
made to hunt them down.

called at the White House to-day. and,
after discussing with President RooseVelt
the details of the approaching launch, went
TO the State Department and talked over
details of the programme with Assistant
Secretary Hill, Admiral Evans ana Adihlrdl
Crowninshield. II was decided that the
launching shall take place at 1880 a. m
Feb. %. Two plans are under consideration
for the transportation OF the presidential
party 20 Shooters island. where the Nachl

road as far a. Newark bay, where IL VIII
be switched on to the long trestle and the
party embarked on one of the shboulldlhs
firms boats. The shipyard is only three
quarters of a mile distant from this tresue.
Rear Admiral Evans has been designated
as a special attendant upon the prince oe-
sides being in charge OF the naval demon
stration. He has arranged 10 have the es-
corting squadron under his command meet

prinZ Wilhelm at Tompkinsville, at whlch
point the prince will be transferred TO the
Hohenzollern and the naval procession VIII
steam up the bay.
During the afternoon Count Quadt came
to the State Department to see DR.. Hlil'
and the latter meanwhile having cominu,
nicated with General Corbin and the local
representatives OF the railroad companies
some progress was made toward arranglilS
the programme. Ii was decided that the
members of the committee on reception
above named should proceed to New York
in time 10 welcome the prince on his arri-
val there about noon Feb %. He prob
ably will be brought to Washington that
night, arriving here Sunday morning, and
will rest quietly at the embassy that day.
An effort is making to arrange matters so
that the prince shall be present at the Cap
itol when the Senate and House meet on
Feb. q to hear Secretary Hay deliver mis-
memorial address in honor of the late
President Mckinley. 1t is possible that
to secure this without imposing too much

At o'clock this morning fire was discov-

College avenue. Before the alarm could be
turned in the flames were shooting through
the roof and the attendants sleeping in the
barn had to run for their lives. An attempt
was made to loosen some Of the thirty or
more horses in the stable. but without sue
cess, and all but one or two. which broke
loose, perished In the flames. In the barn
also were large number of fine carriages
and other vehicles, which were burned, to-
gether with feed and harness. Most of the
horses and buggies belonged to persons liv-
ing in the vicinity
The fire quickly spread to the house of
Christian Stark, 1912 College avenue and
destroyed it. The fire also spread to the
house of Dr. W. B. Stewart. which was
at o'clock badly burned. The house of
W. H. Thomas, at 1915 College avenue, was
also burned. The fire did much damage

Residents of the square were prepared to
carry out their belongings in case the fire
department could not stop the spreading Of
the flames. The fire was not under control
until o'clock. and then it was thought
possible il might break out again.
The manner in which the fire started
could not be learned There was a report
that a man had been burned in the stable,
but the rumor could not be verified at 4

ARREST OF WITNESSES
MANY HELD TO GIVE TESTIMONY IN
JIM HOwARD'S TRIAL.
Howard's Examination Finished-He
Tells an Unshaken Story
states witness Attacked.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 17.-The cross
examination Of Jim Howard was resumed
this morning by T. c. Campbell. Howard
denied having worn a false mustache sew
eral times Immediately before the killing
of Goebel and that he had ever shown a
false mustache to three men on the streets
of Manchester; that he had not told a DR..
Phillips that he did not arrive in Frankfort
until after Goebel was shot. Howard fur
ther stated that he knew James Stubble-
field, who has given such damaging evil
dence against him, and that Stubbleield,
while assistant postmaster' was arrested
for breaking open registered letters. The
cross-examination has so far failed to
make Howard contradict himself.
Five witnesses for the prosecution from
Clay county were brought into court un-
der arrest by the sheriff of that county
Twenty or more witnesses for the defense
from Clay county who failed to answer
when called yesterday were arrested this
morning.
The cross-examination OF the defendant
was completed at noon to-day and the de-
fense this afternoon introduced a number
of witnesses to impeach the testimony OF
James Stubbefield, the leading witness for
the prosecution. Several of them were
Howard's neighbors and he was
clean-shaved and did not wear mustache
when he left Clay county to come to Frank
fort. They also swore that Stubblefield
was a man of bad character, and that his
reputation for truth and veracity was not
good. Among those who so testified were
Judge w. l.. Brown, Of London; j. NJ.
Boreing, son of Representative Vincent
Boreing, of the Eleventh district; S. A.
Lovelace, l.. c. Walker, JEFF Marcum and
j. d. Fleming.
Howard's attorneys claim to be satisfied
with his statements on the witness stand.
j. NJ. Boreing, one of the witnesses who
testified to-day, said that after the killing
of Goebel he saw Wharton Golden at Lon
don and that the latter told him he be-
lieved a detective had killed Goebel.

SUMMARY OF HIS TESTIMONY
SEVERAL STRONG POINTS SCORED IN
HIS OWN BEHALF.
New Witness to Be Introduced 70
Further Contradict the state
ments of Reeves.

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-THE cross-examina-
ton of Estes G. Rathbone. ex-director of
posts of Cuba, at to-day's session OF the
court. which is trying the charges growing
out of the Cuban postoffice frauds, brought
out no new facts. Counsel for ". II.
Reeves. ex-deputy auditor for Cuba, who is
also on trial. endeavored to put the respon-
sibility on Rathbone for the neglect on the
part of Cuban postmasters TO render
monthly statements. Rathbone insisted that
II was Reeves's duty TO report irregularities
of this kind.
g. F. w. Neely was called and examined
by the fiscal Neely said he received his
appointment from Washington and that
Rathbone had made him chief Of the finance
bureau Of the Cuban Postofice Department
after the organization OF the Cuban postal
service. He said that when the stamps
were burned a certain amount was reserved
for collectors but that he did not know
how many and that after the sales to col
lectors fell off he gave the surcharged
stamps to SenOr Moya, a Cuban stamp
clerk in the Havana postoffice, instructing
him to sell them. He asserted he took the
money resulting from these sales and put
1t I'm the vault Neely made no record Of
these stamps. nor did Moya make out a
requisitiOn for them.
In answer TO the fiscals question as TO
why he had made no such record, Neely ex-
planned that in so far as the new issue OF
stamps was concerned records were kept in
his Office of The denominations sold in or
der that he might be in a position to know
what denominations TO order from Wash
inston TO replete the stock. AS for the mat
ter OF balancing the account. the stamps he
turned over TO Moya had no bearing there
on. Neely said he charged with the
whole amount OF the value OF the stamps
delivered. and that these he must account
upon 10 do so. For this reason, he said, it
made no difference whether these Moya
sales were recorded or not. Instead OF the
stamps he said he had put the money in the
vault.
Neely denied having any interest in the
COwan Printing Company, of Muncie, Ind.
and said that he had not received $500 as
commission from the lock box company
that put In the lock boxes in the Havana
pOstofiice He explained that this company
was the lowest bidder for that work.
Nicely was confronted with Reeves. who
reiterated his statement that Neely gave
$1,000 before leaving TO make the books
and said that he was with an emplOye of
the pOstOffice at the hour named by Reeves
in his statement. At the request of Neely S
counsel this employe Will be summoned to
testify.
NeeIy said he drew his salary for the
the United States. The defense will contend
that this action showed that Neely needed
money and under the circumstances would
not give Reeves any.
