SAW THfEF ESCApE.

A party on Broadway was Awaken
ed by savage barking of one Of their
dogs yesterday morning, shortly af-
ter l o'clock and called out to him
to be quiet. The animal obeyed but
continued jumping up to the top of
a neighbours fence. Thinking he was
only after a cat, the dog was not al
lowed to raise any more of an alarm,
to go over the fence. In the mean
me a gate was heard to close some
what quietly and other member of
the family saw a man making quick
steps in the direction of Meinzer's
house. The party watching the man
called out to him that if he came
back he would be shot. 1t was then
concluded that he might have been
after grapes in Mrs. Bakers garden.
Whether the party returned later, or
had already done the contemplate
dead of stealing from n widow is not
known, but the grape vines OF which
there are several in the garden, were
stripped of all the grapes worth
having.
AS the man see leaving in n hurry
was a familiar figure. he and other
are suspected of being the cul-.
prits. AS the dog climbs a high
fence almost as spryly as a cat we
would pity the parties had he been
allowed to go over it.

BY a violent earthquake shock.

Awoke in great surprise,
Hearing the buildings shaking,
BY a fearful rumbling noise.
They ran out in their night robes
Anxious TO inquire.

Followed by great fire.

He notified the government,
To send there quick relief.
And issued a proclamation,
When the city in ruin was laid,
For congress to appropriate
Large financial aid.
The firemen and the citizens
With the army acted brave
In trying to check the wicked fire,
The city for to save.
They did their whole endeavors,
Worked hard both day and night,
Used gun cotton trying to stop it.
Blew up parts with dynamite.
Numbers of poor creatures
Suffered dreadful pains,
Being fastened in the buildings
Must have persisted in the flames.
The earthquake was destructive
To life, steel, brick and stone.
1t was a visit from above,
A cause for ii was shown.
1t was an awful sight to see
The dead all DER the city lay.
Also the poor wounded,
They will ne'er forget that day.
And people having friends there
Had telegraphed by wire
To know if their loved ones were lost
BY earthquake or by fire.
Train loads of provisions
And clothing in large supplies,
We're sem to the stricken sufferers
TO case their mournful cries.
Contributions raised all DER the land,
Amounts both large and small,
Were sent right to the helping fund,
Responding to the call"
