Trenton, N j., Aug. walter Eel
Ter, nineteen years old, who murdered
his grandfather In Vineland last Octo
Der, and who was to die in the cleo
trio chair within few hours, got .
new lease of life when Governor For,
called the state prison by long dis
tance telephone from tbs summer cap
ital at Sea Girt and announced re
prieve.
Time for the electrocution was &c
near at hand that the executive did
not care to depend on the mails OF
even a special messenger He was en-
phatic in commanding that his instruc'
tons be carried out until the formal
reprieve of thirty days could reach the
prison.
The authorities were greatly sur
prised at the message. Only last week
the executive sat with the court OF
pardons when 1t was decided that the
boy must die.
Governor Fort gave no reason foi
his action. II is believed that the lads
years and the pleas OF his mother fol-
his life have given the executive q
change of heart.

After a lapse of several seconds his
head appeared forty feet out in the

something was wrong
Whats the matter?" he exclaimed
where's John?" In that instant he
became alert and started toward the
bank.

the water he started to swim to the
shore as if in pain, but after making
few feet he called for help and sank

While word comes from q. Poyros

The first shock was severe, causing
the bells of the many eethedrals OF
Mexico City to toll, breaking crockery
and in some instances levelling walls
The inhabitants of the capitol had
hardly recovered from the fright occa'
stoned by the quake when a second
and more severe shock caused an out
pouring OF nearly all of the residents
to the streets and open plazas.
This movement was of a twisting
character and lasted with marked Sc

buildings of the capital swayed and In
some instances cracked, the pavement
opened in places and in the poorer
quarter a number of houses collapsed
So far as can be learned from the
police records, six persons lost theii
lives in Mexico City and its environs
as a result of this second shock. Tw7
were men of the lower class, the oth

Four persons are now in hospitals anc

Reach Several Million Yen.
Osaka. Japan, Aug. 2. - Confusion
gtill prevails here as n result of Sat
urday's disastrous fire. Thousands OF
persons are homeless and hunger is
staring many of them In the face. The
number of casualties has not yet been
determined, but hundreds of injured
persons are crowding the hospitals.
The latest estimates are that 10000
buildings were destroyed. these includ-
Ing banks. the stock exchange, the
museum. government edifices and fac
tories. While at present II is impos-
sible accurately to state the losses
shese are given roughly at several
aiIIion yen. II is expected that some
the insurance companies will fail
"a result of the heavy losses they
nh have to pay.
The confagration lasted more than
twenty-five hours and the burned sec.
tion presents deplorable sight. The
streets OF the city are very narrow and
the houses were mostly OF wood con.
struction. Under a strong breeze,
therefore. the buildings were an easy
prey for the flames, which jumped
from one to another with great ra.
pidity. Once hope was almost aban-
doned that the conflagration could be

An area OF over four miles square,
containing some OF the city's hand

was entirely burned over before the
Gre was brought under control. The
stock exchange. which was one of the
most important in this country, was
entirely destroyed. This loss, It is be-
neved. will tend considerably to dis.
locate the business of Osaka, which
vith its manufacturing concerns, Is
one OF the chief commercial cities OF
Japan.
The emperor Is deeply concerned
over the disaster and II is believed
that he will make generous donation
20 the relief fund and that his action
will be quickly followed by gifts from
charitable people and institutions.
