No matter what the people in the

now that If some state should ever

done absolutely nothing Tor history,
nor has he ever achieved anything of
any great Importance. There are no
great men among the race. Yet this
people has been picked out by the
fanatics of the north and lifted up to
equality of citizenship and to rights
of suffrage. No doubt many of you
have listened to the ora+ory of the

Tillman told his audience of attacks

said;

ton Uncovers Evidence Which
Leads TO Arrest

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S-The most re-
markable case of wholesale poisoning
of persons to secure insurance money.
ever unearthed in this city, is
charged against Bridget Carey, who
has been arrested. The woman is
80 years old, is charged with having
poisoned her husband, Patrick, her
two children, Mary, aged s, and Annie,
6, who died week ago, and Patrick
and Cecilia Cook, tenants in the Car
ey house.
All the alleged victims died within
II months and the police allege that
Mrs. Carey benefited by their deaths
to the extent of $1,000, through the
collection of insurance.
Arrest Follows investigation.
The woman's arrest followed an in
vestigation made into the deaths of
her two children, which occurred last
week. 1t was said at the time that
their deaths We're caused by eating
poisoned candy or candy that con.
analysis of the stomachs of the chill.
dren showed that they died from ar
senical poisoning. The authorities
say the children were insured for Sl25
each and that Mrs Carey collected
this after their deaths. The police
say they learned that the woman had
secured rat poison, and on further in
vestigation found that Patrick aud
Cecilia Cook, brother and sister, who
lived with Mrs. Carey, had died with
in few months under suspicious cir
cumstances.
Miss Cook had been the lessor OF
the house and Mrs, Carey was the
tenant. The police say that Miss
Cook was insured for $500 in favor of
Patrick Cook, her brother, and that
on August 10 she died Patrick had
been insured for $500 in favor of his
sister. He collected the insurance
on her policy and after her death
Mrs. Carey took up the lease OF the
house. Thereupon Patrick Cook
made his insurance in favor of Mrs.
Carey and shortly thereafter died.
Smoothly Avoided Suspicion.
When Miss Cook died a physician
who had attended her was visited ny
Mrs Carey, the police say, and asked
to sign the death certificate for insur-
ance, attesting that she died of heart
disease. AS he had previously at
tended her for heart trouble and knew
she was liable to die at any mcment
he signed the certificate, though he
had not been in attendance on the
woman just prior to her death Miss
Cook died August 10 and On Septem.
Der II her brother died suddenly, in
much the same manner as his sister
The police say Mrs Carey secured the
insurance. After the death of the
children the police learned that the
woman's husband had died suddenly
about 10 months ago, and from physi.
clans who were called In at various
times during the illness of the alleged
victims, they were urged to make a
rigid investigation. The bodies OF
Patrick Cook and his sister have been
exhumed and that of the woman g
husband will also be disintened

wife Of John Farley, Of Gallipolis, o.,
was shot in this city three times by
Charles Morrow, colored hotel porter
at A o'clock this afternoon.

in the most central part Of the resi-
dence district and the streets were
crowded with people at the time.
The negro ran from the house with
the smoking pistol in his hand and at
tempted to escape among the thrsngs
on Easter promenade, but he was pur-
sued by hundreds. When the police
overlook him he had to be clubbesk in
to submission and was hurried Off to
the county jail for fear of mob vio-
lence.
Mrs. Bass was 80 years Of ago and
her little niece, only IL years Of age,
was the only witness to the tragedy.
The supposition Ia that the hotel por-
ter had taken Mrs. Bass letter, and =
quarrel over the presen tation Of same
resulted in the tragedy. Mrs. Bass had
been on the street two minutes before
the tragedy and had just entered the
hall when the negro appeared.

GREAT
EARTHQUAKE
Many Lives Lost and a Loss Of
sloo,ooo.Ooo in Property
Fire Sweeps the Ruins

San Francisco, Cal, April 49,
Earthquake and fire today have caused
the greatest calamity California has
ever known. In San Francisco alone it
is estimated that 200 persons have
persisted, while more than thousand
are suffering from injuries. The entire
business portion of the city 10 in ruins
and the flames, which owing tothe
lack of water cannot be checked except
by the blowing up with dynamite Of
buildings in their path, are still sweep
ing through the city. 1t is utterly i'm
possible at present to estimate the
property loss, for the extent or the con-
fiagration cannot be told until the fire
has burned itself cut. Thousands Of
people are homeless and many are
huddled inthe parks and public squares
besides the household goods they were
able to save. Most Of the principal
buildings have already been destroyed
and others are In imminent danger.
Over all the scene of desolation hangs
dense pail Of SNAKE.
Communication with outside towns
il almost entireld cut off, but the re-
port cLmes from Palo Alto that all but
one Of the buildings of the Leland
Stanford, Jr., University have been
wrecked and that the splendid Memoir
ial church, and one of the finest struc-
lures of it's kind in the world is mass
of ruins. One student 10 known to
have lost his life. In Oakland, five
persons were killed, San Jose, and Sac
ramento, Berkeley, Alsmenda, and
other places heard from suffered severe
ly, but report no loss of life.
The dreadful earthquake shock came
without warning at precisely at 5:13
o'clock q. M, its motion apparently
being from east to west. At first tie
upheavel of the earth was gradus
but in few seconds it increased in
tensity. Chimneys began ~ fall and
buildings to crack, tottering on their
foundations. The people became panic
stricken and rushed into the streets,
most of them in their night attire.
They were met by showers Of falling
buildings, brick cornices and walls.
