- - I , ,
a Cocapah Indian, returned from the
Galf of California, and Rives additional
details concerning the earthquakes and j ;
tidal wave of Thursday last. About 6 j
o'clock thut inorninjt a heavv shock- Vas I
felt -near th Lordo colony in the state
of Sonora," Mexico, on the Colorado
river. The sky darkened and a terrible
thunder storm fame up. A huge wave
from the gulf 'was driven inland, and
fences and landing places were washed
away. - - A second eart hquake shock
caused, the earth to open in many places.
Some of he -jassnres were four to seven
feet wide'-and from twenty to thirty
feet long ' and seemingly fathomless.
Men were thrown to the' ground by the
force of this shock. About a mile from
LiOrdo they noticed a fissure in the raid-
die of the river tied, into which the Uol-.
orado was pouring with much noise.
A third shock of earthquake destroyed
three small habitations of colonists and
cracked others. No human life was lost
but a large amount of live stock was
killed.
The damage done by the earthquake
in Sonora is principally to the herds of
cattle in that region. The settlements
there are small but it is feared that J.
Milton, Or. Larsen and T. Thursen, who
went down to the gulf several weeks ago,
are drowned, as no trace of them can be
found.

alarm and the department responded at
once, but before an engine arrived the
building was a mass of flames and the
inmates were flying for their lives. It is
not known how many persons were in
the building, but all but one known to
have been inside have been accounted
for. The hook and ladder truck was
immediately called into use to save the
lives of the inmates. Chas. Johnson, a
man about GO years - of age, was taken
through the second story window on
Mill street. He had been suffocated to
death. His face was burned almost be
yond recognition. Just across from him

ber his hands and arms were terribly
burned, the skin being entirely pooled
off; He will not recover. ' A man
named Green jumped from the third
story on the Mill street Bide and is in
jured internally. He lay on the pavement
just across from the burning building
and made piteous appeals to the by
standers to fetch a doctor. He can
hardly recover. A few yards Iron) him

had jumped from the third-story win
dow. His injuries were a broken arm.

Solfonni, who was suffering from en
largement of the bones, died, yesterday.

toms are enlarged bones, the body and
head growing to enormous proportions.
The dictionaries, as late as 1889, do not
give the name of the disease. Solforini

NATIONAL " FOI.ITIC8.
Curiosity a to Quay's Attitude Toward
Hlalne Ills Conrn Criticised.
New York, Aug. 9.-rTlie Washington
correspondent of the Herald sends the
following regarding Quay's attitude
toward Blaine: "Has Matthew Stan
ley Quay broken with the administra
tion? That' is a ) notion very mttch
discussed by politicians just now, in
j view of the fact that Senators Quay and
Cameron are credited with being ready
to turn over the Pennsylvania delegation
to James G. Blaine in 1892. Those best
informed sind most conversant with the
history of Quay's standing at the White
house assert that he and the president -are
still on good "terms, but that the ct
national chairman has been feeling the
pulse of the party in his own state, and
finds himself unable to contend with the
tide of enthusiasm that has set. in for
Blaine. Rather than play on the losing
side, he yields to pressure, and has a
dream that Blaine is the. coming man.
There is some criticism here on Senator
Quay's course. It is argued that, as ho
haft received pretty much all he asked
forit would be the'eorrect .thing for him
to make the Haraisou fight in Pennsyl
vania. On the contrary, the Blaine
men, who are rejoiced over the report
that Quay has practically declared for
the Plumed Knight, assert that the jun
ior Pennsylvania senator is not in Har-.
rison's debt, that his services in 1888
have not been fully, requited and that
he can with perfect propriety espouse
the candidacy of another, especially
when the state is overwhelmingly in fa
vor of a more popular candidate.'
