SANTIAGO Fees Earthquake.

Santiago, Cuba, Sept. 19.-The most
violent earthquake since 1885 occurred
here early today. The earth shook for
fifteen seconds, but there were no un-
duIations. Many people rushed into
the streets and cried and prayed.
Bricks and plastering dropped in all
directions and a few walls fell. No
body, however, was injured.

On Labor Day a big celebration was

it invited Coy Davis and Attorney
General Murphy to address the Ameri-

the result has convinced the ambitions
2rraoeemen# committee hat ambition
enc judgment should work as a double
team.
When General Murphy received his
invitation lie Immediately sent the
committee word that it would be i'm
possible for him to accept as he was
engaged in a lawsuit at Huntsville.
which would not admit of his absence
from the place al the time.
But Governor Davis was not so ready
with his reply He thought and stud
led over the thing for several days,
and the more he thought the more he
studied, and the more he studied the
more he thought. Then when he saw
Murphys reply his mental contortions
began all over again. And yet his dis
turbed grey matter refused to see
solution of the problem.
Now, Governor Davis does not want
to meet Gen. Murphy any more than
You or would care to meet the dragon
which Perseus encountered
In fact, he would go to that tropical
rountry from whose bourne no traveller
ever returns with the greatest of pleas
IRE and alacrty rather than mount the

the attorney general. SO the question
that came TO the governor and which
worked overtime in his leaky brain-pan
trying 10 find enough moral courage
to give it answer was:
Is the attorney general trying to
work rabbits foot on me to get me
down to the metropolis Of jefferson
county to make my political aspirations
look like they had been struck with
maui, or enjoyed tenminute rough
house with a cyclone, or is it fact
that he can not be there?
After so long a time he finally de-
clded that he had best not take away
chances with his rotten little raft Of
assorted gestures, tear jugs. and pOliti
cal misrepresentation on sea which
could possibly be threatened by the
eloquence, logic and convincing argu-
ment of the attorney general and so
failed to show up on the day appoint
ed.
But did he state the reasons for not
accepting the invitations? Oh, no. On
the other hand, he turns around and
ISLANDERS the city which has been po-
lite enough to send him the invitation
and says that the people wanted to
get him down mere to assassinate
him. For a similar exhibition Of in
gratitude and cowardice you will
search history in vain.
Oh, our governor how proud we are
of him. For there is none like him
no, not one.

BIG BOND THIS TIME
Ames Not Likely to Get OF With Less
- Than S25,OOO

Ames Not Likely to Get OF With Less
H.. Than $4,000.
Judge c. M. Pond will in all probability
be the judge before whom Dr. A. A. Ames
will be arraigned upon his arrival next
week. 1t is generally believed that the
returned wanderer will be asked to fur
n1sh bond of about $4,000.
A Possible Dodge. -,
= It has been suggested that even though
DR.. Ames starts for Minneapolis he may
not arrive here Immediately. AS soon as
he gets out Of New Hampshire and into
another state, it is argued, he could sue
thus make another long delay. While
such a move is possible, it is far from
probable.
In the first place. Sheriff J. w. Dreger,
when he once gets possession of his man,
is going to make the homeward trip in
the shortest possible time. He is taking
no more chances with the genial doc
tor, and stop-overs will not be allowed on
the doctors transporta ton. y.
1T would be mere nonsense for the
doctor to make any more attempts at
habeas corpus said Frank Nye. ''If he
starts for Minneapolis he will come right
through on time, I have no doubt. unless,
of course, he should grow suddenly worse
and his health should absolutely demand
a stop-over."
w. w. Erwin and Henry S. Mead are
understood to have been retained by DR..
Ames, and it is believed Frank M Nye
will be associated with them in the de-
Tense of the former mayor. ::
If the doctor is able to stand a trial
next term, as it Is believed he will be, he
! will, unless an affidavit of. prejudice is
| filed, come before Judge Elliott who will
| have charge Of the criminal calendar.
