An editor said Of the, late Mrs.
Craigie. or John Oliver Hobbies, as the
brilliant American novelist was
known: -
II had the honor of dining with Mrs.
Craigie during the London season at
her beautiful house in Lancaster Gate.
She lived there in great luxury with
her father, who is millionaire chem
list. Across the street dwells the earl
of Meath, the marquis of Ailsa lives a
few doors above, while next door Is
the mansion of the earl of Dunmore,
a Scottish peer whose servants all
wear the highlander costume, with
the kilt, plaid and bare knees.
Mrs. Craigie was superb mimic.
Mimicry. as she had mastered it, is
one of the fine arts. I remember we'll,
that night at dinner, how she MINI
licked a silly, ,empty-headed little lady
whose husband, lover of gayety, was
inclined to neglect his wife.
Mrs. Craigie told us that this lady,
while spending the winter in the coun-
try, said one day at the country post
office: -
Dear me, what silly mistake
you post Office people have made =
How, madam asked the clerk.
"'Why,' she explained, with litter,
here [ have just gotten letter from
my husband, who is working hard in
London, and the envelope is post
marked Monte Carlo"

"Picnic suppers" were described in

Mr.. Dinning also briefly addressed
the Jury in behalf Of the defendant
In reply, Mr.. Hanson asked how the
complaint could 90 to the city officials
if the City Attorney was acting for
the defense2
Answering this, Mr. DAILY asked As
sistant County Attorney Hanson if he
did not know that the law required the
City Attorney to defend any city Of
dinance covering the matter.
The case went to the jury at 1915
and it remained out until 2 o'clock,
when it returned into the courtroom
and the foreman stated to the court
that no agreement had been reached,
owing TO n disagreement as to the in
structions of the Court involving a
point of law.
Mr.. DAILY, attorney for the defense,
objected TO the Court instructing the
jury as to a point Of law, maintaining
that the Court could not instruct the
jury as to what was his Interpretation
Of the law, and also submitting that
it was an unheard-of proceeding for
Justice to charge jury. The Court
overruled the objections and proceeded
to enlghten the jury as to its duties
in reaching a determination.

fore the jury returned TO the court
room and announced that an agreement

not polled and was then dismissed

WASHINGTON RECORDS,
Government seismographs Show Direc-
tion Of the Earth 8 Movement.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-The records
OF the seismographs at the weather bu-
renu, taken from the instruments this
morning. show that there have been no
earth movements here since that OF
Thursday afternoon and evening, which
undoubtedly were due to the Chilean
earthquake. OF great interest TO the
weather bureau is the fact that Thurs
days record shows that the heaviest
east and west movement was at A min
utes and 45 seconds past D m, and the
stronges: north and south movement did
not occur until minutes later. The
north and south movement was the heay-
Ter, the earth movement being over a
quarter OF an inch.
Because OF the admirable construction
Of buildings In Valparaiso, Mr.. Vega, The

believe that the loss OF life has been
heavy. The city Is one OF the most
modern In South America. and lacks the
narrow streets and frail buildings which
are common TO SO many cities In Latin
America.

Union Bookbinders of Government Of

WASHINGTON. Aug. lS.-Union book
binders in the Government printing Of
fice threatened a strike today on account
OF the action of Harry Ashton, acting
foreman OF the binding. In suspending A.
]. Tanner. a union binder. because he
did not perform an extra amount OF work
prescribed by Ashton, which union men
declare 10 be In excess OF a maximum
amount permitted under regulations OF
the union. President j. l.. Feeney of the
Bookblnders union. gave notice that he
would make an Issue of Tanners suspen-
sion and demand conference with Public
Printer Stillings on Monday, Union men
say Ashton set out TO bring the printing
Office and union regulations into con-
nict. Three years ago Ashton caused the
dismissal of W 4. Miller. assistant fore
man of printing, the discussion OF which
case caused President Roosevelt TO de-
clare the printing office an open shop.

COUNT Is OPTIMISTIC.
Believes Reports Of Chilean Disaster
Have Been Somewhat Exaggerated.

P1TTSBURG. Aug. 1s.-Count Julian
Segundo De OWES. Commissioner Of Com
merce from the Republic Of Chile to
Pittsburg, is inclined to believe the earth
quake at Valparaiso was not as disas-
trous as was reported. The Count left
Chile April last, and said that while
he was there q number of earthdua ke
shocks had occurred The business por-
tion OF the city. he said. faced the noun
famous cliffs. and he feared, In the
event OF heavy shock. the mountain
would disintegrate and huge rocks and
boulders fall on the business houses be-
meath.
Count De OWES said hs thought there
could be little danger from fires, as most
of the buildings are constructed OF adobe
and Spanish tile Frame buildings are
the exception. and steel Is used more
than wood.
1t was the Counts opinion that heavy
earthquake would also cause great dam
age TO the shipping along the coast.

TEN THOUSAND VICTIMS.
Fugitives From Valparaiso Bring Awful
Tale of Horror,

Tale Of Horror,
BUENOS AYRES. Aug. ia dispatch
received here by the Havas agency from
Santiago do Chilo says;
News of the catastrophe at Valpa-
raiso is beginning to come in here. Fu-
gltives who have arrived on horseback
from the stricken city describe u condi
'ion of horror 1t is believed, however
that the condition OF extreme panic has
resulted in exaggerated statements OF
the occurrence. Almost all the houses
in Valparaiso are said TO be down. The
fugitives estimate the number Of dead
and wounded there at 10000. Entire
streets are buried in ruins, Fires, which
broke out Immediately after the earth
quake, added TO the terror and danger.
Sixty thousand people have taken refuge
on the hills surrounding the city. Lack
of water prevents efforts to extinguish
the flames.
1t Is reported that the buildings of
the arsenal. naval school and navy de-
partment have fallen, as we'll as the GUS

OF the MeTcurio and the houses Of Ross

Red-HOt Argument by Assistant
City Attorney in Garbage
Case.
JURORS ARE UNABLE TO
AGREE UPON A VERDICT
Methods Employed in PrOsecu-
tion Are Severely
Criticised.

After being out about four hours the
jury in the case against tho City Health
, Commissioner, charged with creating q
nuisance by causing garbage to be
dumped in the locality in the western
part OF the city known as the ''Horse
shoe Bend" returned to the box, and
through its foreman announced that no
agreement had been reached and 1t
therefore could not return verdict.
The case was resumed at IL o'clock
Saturday morning by placing the de-
fendant on the stand Tor cross-examina-
tion by the prosecutor, Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney Willard Hanson. The
cross-examination brought out nothing
beyond that testified to by the defend
ant when on the stand in his own be-
half and was mainly to the effect that
whatever action he had taken in regard
to the dumping of garbage at the place
mentioned was as a member of the
Board of Health and not as a private
individual, and also that whatever nui
sance had been created had been done
by private parties aud not by or under
the instructions Of any city employees.
AT the close of the testimony Mr.,
Hanson desired to submit the case with
out argument, but counsel for the de-
tense intimated that they intended to
argue the issue and the County Attor-
ney occupied his full time-twenty min
utes. In the course of his address to
the jury Mr.. Hanson denied that there
was any malice behind the prosecution
and insisted that the case had been
proved.
County Attorney Scored.
P, j. Dalv in reply for the defense,
took occasion to say some interesting
things regarding the manner in which
the County Attorney s Office is conduct
ed. He said that Mr.. Hanson had
claimed that he did not know what de-
fense they were putting up. "Perbaps
not. Among other things he says this
preacher who admitted on the stand
that he did not know DR.. Stewart, nd
nlitted that he went to the County At
torney's Office and he drew up the com
plant. The County Attorney and the
preacher admitted that they went and
examined the place and the ATTORNEY
asks you to believe this preacher who
had himself said that he did not know
anything about this case, and he asks
you to convict the defendant upon such
evidence. We do not dispute but that
there was an odor there, and every
witness agrees that the stencil arose
at night and was created by refuse
and decayed matter being dumped there
after the city employees had finished
their days work. This was also sup
ported by the evidence of the prosecu-
ton, that in the morning before the
city wagons unloaded any garbage this
offensive matter would be found there.
We do not ask you to 1isbelieve what
