According to this testimony. a

guard. The prisoner died in eleven
days. The prisoner charged the same

Huntsville, Texas. July 31.-After
embracing three convict camps stu
ated near huntsville, the J.enitentia-
ry committee returned here yester-
day and adjourned until October %.
The committee visited the Eastman
female convict colony, the male
camp on the same farm and the
Whatley and kempner share farm,
all of which are located about twen-
ty miles from huntsville Twenty
six witnesses were examined, includ-
ing sergeants, guards and conNicts.
The testimony adduced from neith-
or the officers or the prisoners was
favorable to the system, anG the
marked contrast in conditions pre-
yailing at the walls and conditions
at the camps was more or less repel-
liant
The committee appointed Senators
Weinert and Hudspeth and Repre-
sentatiyes Moller and Stamps as
subcommittee to discuss the matter
of the employment of auditors with
Governor Campbell at Austin next
Thursday, the subcommittee to
have full power to act for the com
mittee as a whole The committee
will meet in Huntsville in October.
The public should not lose sight
of the fact that the most damaging
testimony obtained by the commit
tee was that of convicts and is not
admissible in any court OF justice,
yet the committee realizes that such
evidence. If properly coroborated,
will at least reflect the shadow of
actual conditions, if not the condi-
tions themselves, and for that reas-
on it is recorded for use by the
committee in arriving at its final
Judgment respecting the penitentiary
system.

CITY of Mexico July 31,-Central
cific, and from Querato on the north
to OaXaca on the south. a district
covering more than 1000 square
miles, was shaken at an early hour
yesterday morning by a series of the
severest earthquakes that have been
felt in this region during the past
quarter Of a century Returns telling
of the loss of life resulting from the
shocks are as yet incomplete, but the
show that fourteen We're killed out
right, while more than 4 score were
fatally injured The towns of Aca-
pulco and Chilpancingo, in the State
Of Guerrero, have been partially des-
troyed and communication with this
part OF the republic of Mexico was
imperfectly established shortly be-
fore noon yesterday.
According to the observatory rec
ords here. the first shock of the Sc
ries was felt at 4:15 O'Clock yester
day morning, the rocking being os
cillatory in character, from north
east to southwest. 1t was very severe
causing the bells of the many cath
edrals of the city to toll, breaking
crockery, and, in some instances,
leveling walls The inhabitants of
the City of Mexico had hardly recov-
cred from the fright occasioned by
this phenomenon when a second and
severer shock caused an outpouring
of nearly all of the inhabitants to
the streets and open pla2as. This
movement was trepidory and
oscillatoSy character and lasted
with marked severity for one min
ute and thirty seconds.
The tall buildings of the city
swayed and in some instances
cracked the pavement opened in
places and in the poorer sections OF
the city a number of houses collap-
sed
AS far as can be learned from the
police records, six people lost their
| lives in the City of Mexico and its
environs as a result of this second
shock Two were men of the lower
class, the others being three women
and child. Four persons are now
in the hospitals so badly wounded
that it is stated they can not re-
cover
/ The second shock so frightened
the inhabitants that no one Ventured
indoors again until daybreak.

escaped unscathed There were some
slight contusions reported among
