 Three blocks from the barracks the yards of the Mexican Central, which
 Madero had been scheduled to enter presented another spectacle of the shocks intensity. There a long wal separating these yards from those ol the Mexican Railway was thrown

 he Central is almost wreck, one
 wall and portion of the building
 having collapsed. About one third of the roundhouse was torn down. No casualties were reported here.
 In none of the adyices received al police headquarters is there mention of the death of any person of promi- hence. The victims were poor per sons whose homes were in cheaply built houses, shacks in most cases, whose walls had little power of re- sistance.
 The fury of the shock was spent in
 he northwestern and western part # the city. The most dangerous one was in that quarter of the city known as Santa Maria, although cracks in the pavement and walls toppled over
 serve to mark it's course as far to
 he south as Colonia Roma, a dis trict inhabited largely by Americans.
 n this district, however, little real damage was done and no, deaths have been reported.
 Cracks show here and there in the pavement throughout the district af- fected and now and then the asphalt s bucked until the ridge is three to five inches above the level of the street. Walls made usually of soft stone or even of adobe bricks, have fallen ill scores of places giving the appearance to somes localities of a much more damaged aspect than war ranted. In nine cases out of ten these walls did no damage inasmuch as they fell into open yards or into the streets. In one case, however, low

She was caught beneath t while running from the servants quarters to the house. The water mains of the city were practically uniniured and the light and power company suffered little inconvenience in operations. Before the last shock has passed the current had been turned off but merely as a matter of precaution. In some cases slight damage was done to the street ear tracks but not enough to interfere @ith traffic except on one line. In 'ront of the Mexican Central station the track was twisted enough to de- lay operations for few hours.
 The projection of the front wall of Belem prison was thrown down into the street. No great amount ot damage was done. Long cracks reaching from bottom to top also was made in the edge of the front wall of the building. Two of the capitols old churches and the national palace are buildings which show the effects of the shock Long cracks appeared n all of them and in the palace a keystone in one of the arches in the palace was loosened and thrown al- most entirely out of it's place. The | two churches are Santo Domingo and La Profesa, the latter on San Fran cisco street. This church has shown cracks of a serious character since

One of the schools was the Lico Guadalupeano, fashionable oarding school for girls. That parl of the building which collapsed was far removed from the dormitory. The
 frightened children and their instruc- | ors fled into the street. clad only ir
