FOUR STATES SHAKEN
Three Distinct Earthquake
Shocks Are Felt.
HOUSES SWAYED, GLASS BROKEN
Flasnrst Opened Over One Hundred Feet
Deep In One of tbe Hills of
Philadelphia Park.
Brooklyn, Sept. 8. Three distinct
earthquake shocks were felt by resi
dents of Brooklyn about 6 o'clock this
morning. No damage to life or prop
erty is reported from any section of the
city. The districts of East New York
and Sooth Brooklyn received the great
est shocks, but the rumblings were
distinctly felt in other sections of the
city. Contradictory reports are given
as to the severity of the shocks. The
first shock, which was felt at 6 o'clock,
was followed by a rumbling noise like
distant thunder. This was followed by
two slighter shocks, which, according
to some reports, died away m low,
grating tones.
Superintendent of Police McKelvy
telephoned td- the police headquarters
from his Green-avenue residence that
he had been awakened from a sound
sleep by the earthqnake. He said the
house oscillated and that the bed he
was sleeping in moved perceptibly.
Depnty Commissioner of Police Cros
by, who was sleeping at Coney . island,
also telephoned to headquarters that
the shock was very severe in that sec
tion of Brooklyn. He described it as
a low, rumbling noise, and added that
many houses had been shaken, all the
inhabitants being aroused from their
sleep.
James Jackson, night watchman at
the mnnicipal building, said that resi
dents of the Twenty-fifth ward were
startled by three shocks in rapid suc
cession, and heard a rumbling noise.
The houses trembled and many pictures
and other ornaments hanging on the
walls were thrown to the floor.
Two conductors of the Atlantic-ave
nue railroad, who were dining in a
restaurant on Washington street, re
ported that they felt the shock. The
bnilding trembled and plates and other
dishes on the table were moved. The
second shock was like tbe effects of a dis
tant explosion. At many hotels the
guests were so frightened by the vibra
tion that they hurried into the hall
ways to find out the cause of the trou
bles. The guests at the Pierrepont
house were very much alarmed, and
many of them went down stairs and
asked the night clerk what ' had hap
pened. They thought an exploison
must have occurred.
New York, Sept. 8. According to
Weather Forecaster Dnnn, the earth
quake reacted ibis city at 6:11 o'olook
this morning.-. The shock was light
and lasted ten seconds. It traveled
from south to north. Comparatively
few persons in the city noticed the dis
turbance. Sandy Hook, Sept. 8. A shock, ap
parently that of an earthqnake, lasting
about three seconds, was felt about
6:08 A. M. today.
Jersey City, Sept 3. New jersey
felt the force of the earthqnake. The
tremor extended throughout the nor th
em part, while the southern section
appears to have escaped the experience
entirely. From all of the cities and
villages in the northern section, the
story received is the same. The shock
was preceded and accompanied by a'
low, rumbling sound, which marks the
earthquake. This trembling lasted
several seconds. In some places the
estimate of time is three seconds, while
other sections place .. tbe duration at
from fifteen to twenty seconds. The
general course of the shock -was from

WASHINGTON'S V SCHOOL TAX,
Law Authorizing: Clounty Commissioners
to Levy a Tju In Force.
Olympia, Sept 8 The question
to whether chapter I8t laws of 189
providing for the levy; of a school tax
by the state boari 'of equalization,
widely known as the ''barefoot school
boy law," repeals thflaw authorizing
county commissioners to levy a county
schooltax, is one which has been con
siderably discussed of ; late. Assistant
Attorney-General Htight has addressed
the following opinion to the prosecut
ing attorney of Whitman county on
this subject
"You inquire in your communica
tion of the 33d inst. whether chapter
68, laws of 1895, providing for the
levy of a school tax by the state board
of equilization, repeals so much of
section 64 of the revenue laws of 1893
as authorizes tne boar as oi county
commissioners to leyy a county school
tax. . '
"An inspection of the act of 1895
shows that there is no express repeal.
As to whether there naa any repeal by
implication, it must lie said that there
is no inconsistency tatween the two
provisions of law and bqfh must stand,
nnless it clearly appears from the act
of 1895 that that act was intended to
cover the whole subject of taxation for
school purposes. .
Whatever might have been the in
tention of those who originally drafted
the bill, it is understood to be a part
of the history of this bill that its pas
sage was secured by a compromise re
ducing the amount to be obtained by
the state levy from $ 10 to 6 per child
of school age in the state. It is also a
fact that the average disbursement for
school purposes per- child of school age
within the state during the past year
was upward of 11. It is quite appar
ent, therfore, that the actual condition
of the schools of this atate, with refer
ence to which the law of 1893 was
passed, would indicate that the law of
1895 was not the sole provision for the
maintenance of the schools of the state.
The fact is in harmony with the lan
guage of the act of 1 895, which no
where intimates or suggests or implies
that its provisions are to furnish the
sole anthoirty for the levying of taxes
for the support of the public schools' of
the state. -
"I am, therefore, of tbe opinion that
the provisions of section 64 of the; reve
nue law of 1893, empowering : tne
county commissioners ' to levy a school
tax, are still in force." ; ; -
A HANDSOME SHOWING.
Tbe Tear's Production of tbe Colorado
Fuel He Iron Company. .
Denver, Sept 3. The third annual
report of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company for the fiscal year ended June
30,1895, just made public, shows that
the. gross earnings for the year were
15,667,185, as compared with $4,475,-
747 for the preceding twelve months.
The company earned ' alt its -fixed
charges, paid a dividend of 8 per cent
on $2,000,000 preferred stock, and at
the end of the year had a surplus of
$4,874. The net earnings were $804,-
239, an increase oi $ 143,404 over tne
preceding year. The coal product
showed an increase of 141,649 tons,
and the coke product inoreased 65,993
tons. The total product of coal was
1,480,435 tons, and of coke 249,239
tons. The company produced upward
of 550,000 tons of manufactured : iron.
It has been shown that the fuel and
iron company can produce iron and
steel at prices that compete successfully
with the large Eastern factories.
Nebraska's Beet Crop.
Norfolk, Sept. 8. There are about
4,000 acres of sugar beets in Norfolk
district all "laid by," and in much
better condition than any previous
year. Recent rains have benefited the
beets greatly. With continued favor
able conditions for roots, the result of
tne Harvest win exceea otner seasons,
and will probably be more than 40,000
tons, which would mean an output of
some 7,000,000 pounds of granulated
sugar, and a run of more than 100 days
and nights. The advantages of beet
culture were clearly demonstrated last
year. Dry weather reduced the ton
nage, but made the root richer in su
gar. It is believed that the enormous
sugar output of the state this year will
be a factor in the world's sugar
market
8ttll Another Hero.
Seattle, Sept. 3. Train" No. 2, on
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern
road, and its engine, tender and refrig
erator car were derailed this afternoon,
about twenty miles from this city. A
tree had been bnrned about the roots
and fell down the bank across the rails,
spreading them .badly. The train con
sisted of eight coaches, several of them
filled with excursionists. Engineer
Gabriel did not see. the tree until
within two oar lengths, but stood at
his post and saved the train. As the
engine tilted over he jumped, striking
his spine against a tie, injuring him
severely. The passengers did not know
their danger till it was over.
The Sons of Veterans.
Cincinnati, Sept 3. The Sons of
Veterans hold their annual encamp
ment at Enoxville, Tenn. , September
16 to 19. This is the first meeting by
the national organization south of the
Ohio and the Potomao, and, like the
Grand Army encampment at Louis
ville, marks a new era in national his
tory. Commander-in-Chief W. E.
Bundit, of this city, has made every
preparation and has been ably assisted
by his staff and by the people of East
Tennessee.

CHOLERA IN HONOLULU.
Eight Deaths From the Disease Have
Been Reported.
San Francisco, Sept 2. The steamer
Monowai, which arrived tonight from
Australian ports, did not stop at Hono
lulu as nsuaL When off that port the
steamer was hailed by the American
consul in a small boat, who announced
that cholera had broken out in Hono
lulu. Already there had been eight
deaths from that disease among the na
tives and "Chinese. As the cholera
broke out soon after the steamer Belgirt
left on her trip, it is presumed that the
disease was brought by that vessel.
The Monowai did not enter Honolulu
harbor, but steamed direct to San
Francisco. Her passengers for Hawaii
were brought here.
- The Belgio carried a large number
of passengers in the steerage, but most
of them were landed in Honolulu. It
was among the Honolulu passengers
that sickness broke out 'According to
the story as shouted from a small boat
to the people on the Monowai, three
Chinese steerage passengers bound for
Hawaii died at sea. The doctor said
that one died from heart disease and
the other two from pneumonia. No
mention of deaths at sea was made by
the steamship officers when the Belgic
arrived here, and it seems stprange that
they should have neglected to mention
the fact that there had been sickness
and death on board. The Belgic
brought to San Francisco six white
passengers, sixteen Japanese and forty
five Chinese. Eighteen other Chinese
were in transit, and have already pro
ceeded East or to Mexico. The Belgio
brought a cargo of tea and silk, which
has already been shipped East There
is no danger that cholera germs may be
in the cargo, but there is some alarm
felt as to the spread of cholera by the
passengers who were landed here. The
sickness on board the Belgio was con
fined to the party that was bound for
Honolulu, but, as the other steerage
passenegrs associated with them on the
voyage, it is feared they may spread
the disease.
NEW YORK'S EXCISE LAW.
Over Seven Thousand Dollars Paid In
Fines In IffO Hours.
New York, Sept 2. Four hundred
and twenty-five excise cases were set
for a hearing today before Justice Jer
ome, in the new court of special ses
sions. An immense throng filled the
courtroom and the halls loading to it
when court opened. The rush was
precipitated by the justice s announce
ment Wednesday last that all the li
quor dealers who would -plead guilty to
day would be let off with a $25 fine;
that any one who would plead guilty
after September 3 would be fined $300,
While those who stood trial and were
found guilty would be sent to the peni
teutiaryfor three months.
When the court opened Justice Jer
ome, Justice Hayea Bad-Justice -HqI-brook
were present Justice Jerome at
once declared that all liquor dealers
who would plead guilty would be let
off with a fine of $25. He said:
"All those who did not plead guilty
Will please withdraw. Another day
will be set down for their triaL"
There was immediately a tremen
dous rush for the bar.
"Don't come in all at once," cried
the clerk, who was astonished at the
rush of the liquor dealers. It was like
a football game, and the liquor men
fought to be first in line.
Have your $25 ready, please,"
again said the clerk, and immediately
there was a rustle of bills and the
greenbacks were flourished. In a little
while bills were piled a foot high on
the desk in front of the clerk, and he
was obliged to call for a respite from
his task.
It was said that at least half of those
on the calendar would plead guilty,
and, judging by the proceedings, the
estimate was not too much. Six big
policemen had to keep the crowd in or
der, and they had to keep hustling.
In two hours before noon $7,700 in
fines was received. The collections
from excise fines for the month of
August amount to $20,000.
Zella's Suit Against George Gould.
Jersey City, Sept 2. Counsel for

Gould for the face value of a cbeck for
$40,000, which the latter is alleged to
have forcibly taken from her, the ad
ditional charge of assault recently
made by Mrs. Rubman against Mr.
Gould. The complaint asserts that as
a result of the alleged assault, the date
of which is set in April, 1893, her life
was for a long time despaired of.
Counsel for Gould was given thirty
days in which to put in his answer to
the amended complaint
American Intejr'erenee Kesented.
Paris, Sept 2. Estafette protests
against the statements of some Ameri
can papers relative to ex-Consul Wal
ler, saying that if Frenchmen sold
arms to enemies of the United States
Americans would never tolerate any
interference on the part of the cabinets
of Europe. "Moreover," continued
Estafette, "we need pay no attention
to the idle complaints of these Ameri
can papers. Indeed, Waller ought to
have been immediately shot for his
glaring treason. "

the British authorities on the subject.
After the assent of nearly all maritime
nations to the rules had been secured
last year by the United States, Great,
Britain joined the other powers and
asked delay until the rules could be re
ferred to a parliamentary committee.
This committee, which, was about to
render a general favorable report, came
to an end with the abrupt dissolution
of parliament upon the defeat of the
late ministry. ' That a new committee
mnst be appointed at the present ses
sion of parliament has been clearly in
dicated to the British government.
Delay in appointing the committee
until February might impede action
by congress, should any be necessary,
and it is expected that parliament will
show the oourtesy to the United States
which congress at the last session '
showed to Great Britain.
The secretary of the treasury today
issued the following circular to collect
ors of customs further modifying the
circular of July 24, 1895, relative to
the transportation of goods in bond
through the Mexican free zone:
"It having been reported to this de-.
partment that merchandise transported
in bond through the United States to
interior points in Mexico beyond the
limits of the free zone is invariably en
tered at the Mexican custom-hou .e on
the frontier, whence it is forwarded
after full duties are raid, collectors are
instructed that the consular verifica
tion provided for by the order of July
24, 1895, will be at the Mexican fron
tier, said order being modified so as to
provide for the consular verification
for the district through which the mer
chandise was imported, and they shall
certify that the merchandise has passed
beyond the limits of the free zone, and
shall require satisfactory evidence of
payment of the full and regular duties,
as assessed by the government of Mex
ico, on goods destined for points be
yond the limits of the free zone."
The controller of the treasury's deoi-
sion that the statute allowing double
fees to United States marshals, district
attorneys and olerks in Washington,
Oregon, California, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, North and South Dakota,
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Ne
vada did not apply to mileage, has
caused much dissatisfaction among
those officials. Previous to the de
cision, double mileage had been al
lowed on account of greatly increased
cost of traveling in Western states and
territories. The United States mar
shal of Nevada claims that mileage
comes under the head of fees, and sug
gested that the matter be brought to
the attention of the department of jus
tice. This will probably be done..
Controller Bowler based his decison
on the opinion of the supreme court
several months ago in a case involving
that maximum fees be allowed, the
court holding mileage was not fees.
Minister to Mexico Ransom, after
taking the oath of office and holding a
conference with Acting Secretary Mc
Adoo, expressed his intention of start
ing on his return to Mexico within the
next few days. His health has improv
ed to the extent that he thinks he will
be able to endure the high altitude bet
ter than during his first stay. It is
understood one of Ransom's principal
missions will be to induce Mexico to
recede from her position on the extra
dition of American criminals who have
fled to that oountry and have an
nounced their intention of becoming
citizens.
As a result of the recommendations
of the Chicago drainage canal board,
the engineer corps of the war depart
ment will make observations and take

probable effect of the operation of the
proposed canal upon the level of the
great lakes. No further steps can be
taken until this is accomplished, and
it is announced that the observation .
will be started as soon as practicable.

reach of immediate vengeance.
