Bad, and Reveals Her Identity to
Salvation Army NIatrOn.

Violet Goldie Evans is only seventeen
years old. and she ran away from home
last Tuesday The love Of adventure was
strong upon her. but repentance came
swiftly. In tears. she confessed to her
mother last night that It wasn't so much
fun being out in the cold, cold world
after all
Violet Goldie is the daughter Of Mrs.
r. Newman, 10 Thirteenth street south
east. For some time domestic interests
have failed to appeal to her, and she de-
cided TO try a hazard OF new fortunes.
She told her mother OF her determination,
but maternal affection and fearful plead
ings were Of no avail
Her wanderings about town finally led
her TO seek shelter with a friend in the
northeast Here she was welcomed tenn
pOrarily. but when she told the secret of
her escapade and that she was q runaway
from the family hearthstone. the first re-
sponse of affection faded away. Violet
Goldie soon realized that she would not
long have an abode under the friendly
roof.
After that she racked her brain to think
OF some means Of supporting herself and
OF living independently. but without avail.
ildlly Sne was driven 10 seek Dread
and board at the American Salvation
Army. Here she stayed for three days,
at first reluctant to tell who she was,
for her mother had sent a longing mes
sage to her through the newspapers. She
knew the police were on the lookout.
After much meditation, she admitted
TO the matron, Mrs. Smalley, that home
was not such a bad place as she had pic
tured, and her mother was promptly
notified that she was safe and sound
The long-lost daughter was once more in
the heart OF the family last night.

SHOCKS ARE VIOLENT.
Buildings Wrecked and Residents
Thrown IN Panic.


Thrown in Panic.
Mexico City, July Sl-Another severe
earthquake occurred at 1873 this after
noon.
Buildings rocked violently in this city
and the people rushed out OF their houses
into the streets.
The damage caused in this city by the
quake yesterday morning is greater than
was at first supposed. The Cathedral
was so badly wrecked that Il has been
condemned. and many buildings were
cracked.
The American school was rendered un-
safe. Some of tlA mains have been
broken and the water supply Of the city
is seriously curtailed.
No news has been received from the
state Of Guerrero.
Fire followed the recent shocks In the
town of HidalgOtitlan. The water mains
were broken by the quake and the fire,
breaking out in the poorer quarter Of the
town, spread rapidly. Only a change Of
wind saved the entire town.
The city Of Acapulco. which was almost
destroyed yesterday by an earthquake
and tidal wave. has been suffering all
summer from an epidemic OF fever, and
many deaths have occurred. Lack Of a
sewage system was given as the cause
OF this condition, which was so bad that
reports to the municipal council declared
that many buildings were sinking into
the earth. which had been saturated with
sewage from cesspOOls.
