WRECK ED BY EARTHQUAK E
EXPERIENCES IN CHILPANCINGO AND
CHILAPA AT TIME OF SHOCK.

The earthquake which recently almost de-
stroyed Chilpancingo, the capital Of the State of
Guerrero, Mexico, and a dozen other cities and
| towns lasted just trihe over half a minute
Although of short duration, the ground
heaved and shook with such force that not a
single building was left without some damage
in the entire city.
Scarcely was the tremor felt accornpanfad bv
rumbling noise, which resembled a heavy
truck driving over a paved street than many
or the people in the streets and plaza fell upon
their knees, and their voices went up in appeals
for mercy to their God. while others fled panic
stricken, they knew not whittier. The rumbling
swelled, and then came distinct oscillations an
upheayal. and then the crash. Walls fell out-
ward into the streets, roofs fell in and clouds of
dust ascended hcavenvard. amid the shreks Of
the dying, the wounded and the panicstricken.
In their Wild terror many fled over the debris
which blocked their way, never stopping 10
look back nor needing the cries of the MANNED.

clouds Of dust cleared away, and the calmcr
people began 10 look about them. they saw the

cnce was signed, and the bones of General

frantically at the barred windows and doors to

The door Of the prison opened, and the

diers to a place of safety where they were put
under guard.
The city Of Chilapa suffered equally with that
| Of Chipancingo Al the time the earthquake
occurred a large proportion of the population
was in the main plaza to witness tightrope
performance. the rope being attached to the
tower of the church This doubtless saved many

as a punishment for the sacrilege in permit

Many of the people went insane from fright.

OIof Martin SANDY.

Mr.. Olof NJ. Sandy died Saturday at
his home in Whitestown after long
illness of consumption, aged Sc years
and months. He was a native of
Christiana, Norway, but came to this
country about twenty years ago. His
funeral took place Sunday afternoon

W. Chambers, assisted by Rev. e. F.
Edgar. A long procession followed
the remains to the McComb City

his brethren of the Masonic lodge.
The Woodmen of the World and

Watkins and Burton, the retiring ad-
ministrators of Whitworth's affairs, by
Rev. B. F. Jones, president of the
Board of Trustees and by Rev. H. G.

When we announce that there has
been made change in the administra-
ton of Whitworth College it is but to
state the universal regret that wells up
in every heart at thought of parting
with DR.. and Mrs. A. F. Watkins and
Rev. and Mrs. M. L. Burton. DIR. Bur-
ton resigns on account of his health,
so seriously impaired by rheumatism,
and on account of losing his compan-
ion in the work, DR.. Watkins resigns.
A splendid educator, 'Dr. Inman w.
Cooper, who has for several years oc-
cupied the presidents chair of Cente-
nary College, has been elected by the
Board of Trustees, president of Whit
worth, and Rev. H. G. Hawkins, who
was formerly agent of the education al
board of the General Conference, and
who is young man eminently fitted
for the position, will take the place
made vacant by DIR. Burton. We ex-
tend them the hand of fellowship and
hope they will abide with US through
many years of prosperity and success
in college work.

A Washington special to the Times
Democrat says that Representative
McLain, of Mississippi, is happy over
the achievement he has made during
the present session of Congress in
securing an appropriation of $250,O00
for rivers and harbors, $175,000 for
public buildings and 100000 for war
claims. Few Congressman anywhere
have secured such a sum in the aggre-
gate.
Mr.. McLain has certainly made a
wonderful record in behalf of his con-
stituency during the short time he
has been in Congress, having accom-
plished more in that line than the
majority of the members of that body
in ten times the period of time Mr..
McLain has been in Congress. The
people of the old Sixth district are
proud of the most excellent showing
he has made and the good work he
has performed in their behalf. The
coast counties are especially proud of
him, and it will be with deep regret
that they will part with his services
in Congress- Herald.
The United States statutes show that
the Sixth district has received the
sum of 1858, 3,199 for rivers aud harbors
and other purposes, since Mr.. McLain
bas been in Congress, making in all
81, ,128,0OO it has received within the
last three years.

FUEL SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Farmers Bringing Wood to Market
Steamers Laviue Up

. The only addition to Washington's fuel
supply today has been made by the farmers
living adjacent to the city. who are busily
engaged in hauling stove wood to market.
The highest price on record Is paid for this
wood and every other industry on the farm
is dropped to take advantage Of the bull
market.
Anthracite is more precious today than
since the strike began. No addition has
been made to the supply Of the dealers.
while the number Of inquirers for coal was
just large, II not larger, than on any
previous days.
The silver lining to the coal cloud today
Is the warm weather and the conference
which is to take place at the White House
tomorrow.
These are not consolatory, however, to
persons who want quick results on their
coal orders, and the habit Of the well-regu-
lated Washingtonian has been to lay in his
winter supply Of coal when the leaves fall
and the autumn winds blow. Soft coal was
quoted at IS a ton today and was being
sold in small quantities by dealers
The river steamers are beginning to feel
the effect of the coal strike also, and the
prediction Is made that several of the larger
boats will be laid off in the near future
Bunker coal is now selling to the steamer
owners at $3.50 ton, and with the present
price of freight the cost Of running
the boat will exceed the receipts Several
tug boats have already been laid up on ac-
count of the high price and difficulty of
obtaining coal.

The converted cruiser Prairie has arrived

slight overhauling.
