Galveston, Texas, April 16. For
a whole day- the Mexican coast
cable lines were silent aa the ; result
I of the seismic disturbances through
lout Southern Mexico. The cables
' 15- 1.31 :' ' .5
are sun worKiug naaiy, anu oper
ators report the wildest rumors
from outlying districts to the south
of Vera . Cruz. .;, The .natives are
panic stricken and report great loss
of life.
Along the coast below Tampioo
one severe and three light shocks
were recorded between 11 A. M.
and 1 o'clock Sunday night. Ves
sels arriving at Vera Cruz and Coot
zacoalcos report a terrible upheaval
in the southern gulf 'early eunday
evening." ' Shipmasters declare the
gulf rose like a mountain, and then
sunk ia the'icenter like a volcano
and that treacherous seas were run
ning after this. The sky was clear
but the gulf was greatly agitated
Colima, the ancient volcano in
the state of Colima, has been vio
lently active for the past three
days, according to dispatches from
the interior. The natives are flee
ing from the valley fearing tbfc
downpour of lava.
Earthquake shocks continue at
intervals of about half an hour all
over the affected territory. The
towns of Chilpancicgo and Chilapa,
farther down the coast, are reported
to have been totally destroyed by
the earthquake shocks. The death
list in these two cities is placed at
500. Reports from, smaller towns
throuchoat the southern part of
Mexico indicate great damage and
loss of life from the quake.
The entire southern part of the
republic, from Mexico City south
and from coast to coast, has tell se
verely the effects-of 4he earthquake
The people of ' the destroyed towns
are living in the open. and many of
them have appealed to the Govern'
ment for teote. . ,, .. t
Telegraphic communication has
been partly restored in many places
connections being made by the lo
cat operators wherever they can
find the fallen wires and establish
a circuit. Many Of the lower towns
in the ' earthquake belt have not
been heard from.

ney, 20 years of age, a waitress

ed by Misb K. E. Taylor aged 26
at 124 Broadway, was in love with
the same boarder that her landlady
fancied. When the landlady die
covered the fact, Miss Courtney
claims, she spread unfavorab
stories - about the waitress, at the
same time witholding the girl

an accounting, both in her love
fairs and in tne matter or money
The. waitress was willing to take the
money and go back - to Missouri
abandoning the affair of the heart
to her employer. Bat, she claims,
Miss Taylor refused the' money,
and spurned the compromise.
Thereupon Miss Courtney weut
out and secured a revolver, return
ed and shot thn e times at her em
ployer, wounding: her in the jaw.
One ballet fractured the jaw and
MiBS Taylor was carried to the hos
pital. '.
, Miss Courtney went to a neigh
bor's home and asked for a police
officer to arrest her. She was accommodated.
confronted by the three officers drew.
revolver and fired, but , ma band
was stayed and the weapon wrested
from ; him. j :He waa -handcuffed,
but in desperation reached ' toward
his ; hip pocket and whipped out a
second revolver, which was taken
from him. With two pairs of handcuffs-on
him, the prisoner tried to
get?, a r third, weapon Into play, but
waa defeated In .his plans and was
unable to Injure any one, as he evi
dently wished to.
Davis, , not yet. willing to sur
render, put up one of the most des
perate fights in the, history of the
police department. He smashed
Captain Stovers glasses, catting the
omoerjs nose, and : made . each, a.
struggle for liberty, that it was necessary-
for the . policemen to club

The police have no hesitation in
branding Davis, the youthful pris
oner, as tne celebrated "pint don
inof burglar, and they declare that
evidence is at hand to prove that
he is the' man who, on March 26,
entered the home of N. W . Roun
tree, 60 Ella -street, and so brutally
bea and choked Mrs. Nellie Roun
tree, after she gave him her valu
able diamonds to save herself from
bodily harm at his hands. A re
ward of $1,000 is oat for his arrest,
that sum having been posted by Mr.
Kodutree.
Davis is also declared by the po-
ice to be the man who has contin
ued to terrorize the residents of
Nob Hill district as no other burg
lar lias for years succeeded in doing
and they declare him to be the per
son' who visited the home of P. C.
Patterson, 771 Everett street, April
2, at which time E, C. Giltner fired

Another Sensational crime charg
ed against him was the daring rob
bery of Henry Hahn, at the latter's
residence at the head of Loveioy
street ,two s weeks ago, when . Mr.
Hahn, after submitting to the af
fair, turned his weapon upon the
highwayman" and. emptied the con
tents at the fleeing criminal.
Numerous crimes, the complete
number and particulars as yet un
known, are counted . against the
youth, but the latest and most sen
sational of the entire Beries was the
binding, gagging. and robbing. of J.
M. Dufresne in the latter s apart
ment in Moore's photograph , gal
lery at an early hour yesterday
morning. He tied the victim hand
and fojt with strings,, quickly man

he tore from the windows. He es

Mri Atterhury baa left fox New

fense from that point until bis chief
is brought to court. It is to be: one
of the most stupendous legal battles

"Your leading citizens are your
worst enemies", said Lincoln Stef
fens, the well-known writer on civic
degradation and reform, in address
ing ; the students at Stanford Uni
versity yesterday, aad the people
of San Francieco have tegun to
think there is some truth in this
statement.
The head and front of the pi it are
reputed to ba Patrick Cilhoun and
E.- H. Harriman It is no secret
that above all others it is . the de
sire of Mr. Heney to direct the fire
of the prosecution against. Calhoun
and the men who occupy the eeate
of the mighty in the councils of the
Southern Pacific. Harriman's rep
resentative on thej Pacific, W. F.
Herrin, is one of the .chief objects
of Mr, Hehey's investigation. Mr.
Herrin has always refused to come
to the open and even ' now, with
public attention centered upon him
he remains in the back ground.
In a remarkable interview given
out just before he left for New York
Mr. Atterburry, the United Rail
roads attorney, tipped off his hand.
