MANY BUILDINGS DAMAGED.
Earthquake Shocks Occur in Sw;+!A~
land and France.

Geneva, Switzerland, May L.
Earthquake shocks were felt here at
PAS a. III. The inhabitants were some
what alarmed and many of them
rushed into the streets, but the dam
age done in this city was very slight.
The shocks were felt throughout the
Canton de ValOis and elsewhere. They
were accompanied by subterranean
rumblings. Some houses were dam
aged in the Canton de Valois.
The shocks apparently were more
severe at Chamonoix and in it's neigh
borhOod than elsewhere. Houses were
cracked and some old monuments
were badly damaged. The church at
ArgentiereS was SO shaken that its
condition is dangerous. .s~

LARGEST EVER WAS
BARBECUE CROWD.
Fourth Annual Affair Given By
MaSOnS Success Financially
and SOcialIy--5,OOO Attend.

Despite the rain, the fourth annual
Masonic barbecue Friday was a sue
cess, socially and financially and in
point of attendance. 1t is estimated
that there were 5000 people on the
grounds during the day, though not
at one time. The crowd was the largest
at about II O'Clock and at 9 o'clock.
when there were probably $500 or
4, 900 persons present. The rain, which
began about 10 45 O'Clock, caused
many to leave, but they returned In
the afternoon. Six or seven hundred
visitors to the barbecue were in the
city during the day. AS it was, the
attendance was larger than at any of
the other barbecues that have been
given by the Masons, and if weather
conditions had not been so threatening
in the morning the crowd might
easily have been swelled to 5000.
= The attractions were up to the aver
age and everybody seemed to be enjoy
ing themselves. Confetti was the great
fun-maKer, two barrels of it being
thrown away. The merry -go-round
was drawing card and coined mon
ey all day. Everything prepared for
the barbecue dinner was sold and a
large part OF the ice cream and cold
drinks
The Capnelton Commercial band
and the 800 Columbia graphophone,
which was given away at the bsrbe-
cue, furnished the music for the big
crowd.
The Rraphophone which was ratified
off, went to Waldo Simous, OF Tobins-
port, 1872 being the lucky number.
The infant of Mr.. ard Mrs. Marion
Weatherh olt took the prize in the

Porter and Woman Arrested.
At Irvington Marshal d. W. Henry
boarded the train and arrested Hue
bank, the Tolliver woman and the
merge preacher. The preacher and the
woman were questioned in regard
to the affair and then released, but
Huebank was taken to Hardlnsburg
and lodged in Jail for safe keeping.
The story Of the affair as told above
is substantially the same as that given
out by Supt. A. NJ. McCrscken, OF the
Henderson Route, after an investiga-
tion of the shooting.
The inquest INTO the death of Ray
was held at Irvington Saturday. 1t
was found that Ray came to his death
by being shot by Huebank, who was
justified In doing the shooting in self
defense.
The Tolliver woman was rearrested
last Friday in Louisville. at the re-
quest OF Breckenridge county author
tiles, and taken to Hardinsburg, as
some new evidence was learned of
that seemed to implicate her in the
affair. She denies that she took part
in it.
The ball with which Blain was
shot was extracted from a point near
the spine. Entering near the hip bone
it passed through about eight inches of
the flesh He Is expected to recover. -
The feeling in the county is in
favor of the negro, though there are a
few people at Stephen sport whose feel
ing Is bitter against him. The consen-
sus, however, is that he had sufficient
provocation.

Alfred Ray was shot and instantly
killed and Will Blain seriously,
though not fatally, wounded in fierce
fight on passenger train No. A on
the Henderson Route, last Wednesday
afternoon, while going at full speed
about a quarter of a mile west OF
Stephensport. John HuebanK, a col
ored porter On the train, is'in jail at
tdardinsburg, charged with killing
Bay, and Emma Tolliver, negro
woman of Evansville, who was a
passenger ON the train, is held as
participant in the ARRAY, it being
believed by some that she shot Blain.
The trouble in which Ray lost his
life began, it is said, shortly alter
he and Blain and three companions,
all of them citizens of Stephensport,
boarded the train at Hawesville, where
they attended picnic.
Though accounts OF the affair are
pretty badly mixed, it appears that
Ray ana his companions raised gen
eral disturbance on the train and
tried to take possession OF 1t. Accord
Ing to the story of Richard Sites, of
Louisville, the conductor, all were
drinking and seemed eager to create
trouble. Some of the party surrended
their tickets but Sites had some
trouble with Ray and Blaine In col.
lecting their fares He was thrown
down and choked by the unruly pas
sengers, and badly handled until &. e.
Bickel, the newsboy, came to his
rescue. The con- batants were separated
before any serious damage was done
to any one, the fairs collected, and
the men were Quilted for a time.
When the Shooting Began.
A little later, John Huetank, the
coioIed porter, had occasion to enter
laie smoker, where the drunken men
}were seated. They chased him out
and threatened to exterminate every
negro on the train. Some of them
drew knives on him and Blain shot
at HIM, it is said. They then chased
negro PREF cher from Owensboro
named Prewitt through the train to
the tender, where they threw a
whiskey bottle at him when trainmen
stopped them. The wrath of the party
seemed ID be conferred on Huebank
They pressed him so closely, pursuing
him into the coloIed compartment o f
the smoker, that he turned, drew
his pistol and fired The crowd scat
tered, leaving Ray and Blsin lying
on the floor of the coach. Ray was
shot through the forehead and killed
instantly. Blain was shot near the
hip bone. Several shots were fred
but nobody seems to know whether
Huebank fred all of them or the
Toliver woman took part in the affair.
The newsboy on the train claims to
have seen a pistol in her hand just
after the shooting and several
passengers are said to have stated that
more than enc gun was brought into !
play, but Huebank was the only one
who admitted ne had weapon.
Blain and his companions left the |
ram at Stephensport. The shooting
created panic among the passengers
and no two told the same story of
the affair. Conductor Sites was not

Pious Parrots.

Parrots are such close observers and
keen mimics that it would be surpris-
ing if birds in the households of clergy
men and ministers did not repeat spe-
cial phrases at proper times. Indeed,
it would be as well not to hold family
worship with speaking parrot in the
room. There was no harm in the bird
that sang in good time and tune
There Is Happy Land" But other
feats Of imitativeness might easily Of
fend. Parrots uttering responses or
bits of the creed or scraps Of prayer.
as several have been known TO do, es-
pecially at unreasonable moments, are
apt to vex rather than amuse, though,
OF course, the birds do not mean to be
irreverent. A bishops parrot used to
calculate Let US pray" sometimes in
devout tones, at other times mockingly.

This was arranged for June %, IT'S,
