with great distlnctnsss at oOa:22 seventy
fifth meridian time, The second shock be-
gan with equal distinctness at lO:j9;?2 p NJ.
The duration OF the first preliminary
tremors In the first shock was exactly the
same In all four records and amounted 10
s minutes and 3 seconds The duration Of
the first preliminary tremor In the second
shock was not quite so great, namely: -Four
minutes and 81 seconds This would Indicate
that the origins Of the disturbances were
nearly at the samo distance from Wash

perhaps somewhat nearer, Tho distance,
In the first case. would be little
over 2,iOO niles, probably, and
In the second case slightly less than ? 400
miles, This distance agrees 80 closely with
that indicated for an earthquake Tocorded
on the afternoon Of March 25 as to suggest
that all three Of These earthquakes
originated In or near the same locality.
The strong motions Of the first earth
quake lasted from about 500 10 $3.50 p. NJ.
and both disturbances produced vibrations
in the earth that lasted for over an hour
and half, the maximum motion in the
second disturbance being much less than

Chilapa T. situated il5 miles from
Mexico Cty, high in tho mountains
on the InterooeRnic Railroad, which is
being built to Vera Cruz. The country about
Chilapa is barren for the most psrt and eE-
tremely broken. The Sierra Sladre del
Sur Mountains extend through the entire
State Of Guerrero parallel with the coast,
and the country is broken by numerous
spurs running inland
In the valleys there is some agricultural
land and on the high ground considerable
land is under cultivation, cereals, tropical
fruits, tobacco, coffee, vanilla and cotton
being the principal products. Owing to
the sparsity Of the population few agr-
cultural industries are carried on.
Along the coast lands the climate is hot
and unhealthful and fevers and eprosy
prevail but in and about Chilapa II Is tenn
perate owing to the elevation, which Is
about 1900 feet. The town was built for
the most part Of adobe houses one story
high and the population in many parts
of the town lived out OF doors, plying the
trade OF basket weaving aud manufacturing
pottery and such utensils as are used in
the few mines near by. II is believed that
great mineral wealth uuderlies the noun
tains. but owing to the former inacces-
sibility OF the town the mines have been
developed but little.
Thirty miles from Chilapa, over a noun
famous country is Chilpancingo, the capital
city, Of 1900 population, which in January,
1902, and again last year was wrecked by
an earthquake
Chilpancingo is the capital Of the State
Of Guerrero. It is on the Acapulco Rail
road, about i2O miles southwest Of Mexico
city. On April IA and the night Of April
Is, 1907, Chilpancingo, together with the
cities Of TEita and Chilapa, which are also
in Guerrero, was destroyed by earthquakes
which damaged every town southwest Of
Mexico city in the direction Of the Colima
volcano, Chilpanoingo was also laid in
ruins by the earthquake of 1902.

GIVE THE FIRST RECITAL
Gary Musicians Delight An
Appreciative Audience
Last Night.

One of the biggest social functions
of the year at Gary occurred last night
when the Gary Musical association gave
their first dance in the Binzenhof hall.
The big feature of the affair was the
orchestra OF nine pieces composed of
the finest talent in Gary 1t was by
far the finest ever heard in Gary, and
the guests of the association were en-
thusiastic in their praise.
1t is thought that there were twenty
five couples on the floor who partici-
pated in the first of the series of dances
to be given by the association this sea
son. There would have undoubtedly
have been a much larger crowd Were
it not for the inclemency Of the wealth
er. AS it was, however, several attend
ed the dance from out-of-town. Mr.
Bigelow managed the arrangements fol-
the dance, and also led the orchestra
The next dance of the season has not
yet been announced, but Il will be
awaited with interest.

While in Omaha the Gary represen-

givings about Gary. Messrs. Knots and
Caldwell will be there to reassure them
that 1t is the greatest undertaking Of

a great advertisement for the town.

plause Greets Carriers Name.
Especial to THE TIMEsl

East Chicago. Ind, Sept 20.--The
largely advertised socialist meeting of
Vice President Corners of the Switch
mems union, was held in Weiland's hall
lest evening. Instead of the mammoth
aggregation of laboring men promised
for the occasion, seant 6s, by actual
count, attempted to fill several corners
of the hall 1t was a noticeable fact
that the audience chose the corners
away from the speaker and spent their
time nodding their heads sageIy and
whenever the speaker
made any pertinent remarks.
No Debs Pictures.
Another feature of the meeting was
the presence on the walls of republican
posters, proclaiming to the voters pres
ent the sterling worth of Taft Sherman
and Watson No "Debs" portraits were
substituted for these and there is lit
tie doubt that several of the voters are
now laboring under the impression that
Taft is running on both the socialist
and republican tickets.
Judge Mcmahon Makes Address.
Democratic candidates tried to get in
a little gum-shoe work Several of
the minority men were present and
pleaded earnestly for support Judge
w. w. Mcmahon of Hammond, gave a
brief address, declaring that he would
do things for Lake county" Follow
ing his brief address, someone in the
rear of the hall proposed three cheers
for Carter, the democratic nominee for
lsheriff." The applause was amusing. II
took almost four minutes for the first
man to bring his palms together He
was followed by four or five others and
the mighty din" was like unto the
cracking of a match upon a hot stove
Even the reading of the 'Red Speciai'
progress was not productive Of any
great result and the meeting took or
the form of a disappointed church picnic

How About This ?

1t is claimed that Parkside has a
dog that knows more than some
people. Strange as it may SEEM ''Ru-
dolph," that's his name, and is the prop
etry of Skinny White, during the hot
summer days when all other dogs were
muzled, went about the streets without
the sign of muzzle
The absence of the muzzle may or
may not have been due to the fact that
the canine invariably was accompanied
by his master. Rudolph" is a water
spaniel and can do tricks, too, and not
only that he has often gone on many
strenuous trips with skinny"
