I Rumbling Began at 11:21 p. - m. The Most FearfuL Shock-at4;s3,a. ,in..i . 1XHABITAXT3 PANIC STRICKEN. Cnwnada, Alamo, and San. Qneatln Experience the Most Severe Shocks Other Xw. Sax Diego, Cal., Feb. 25. The earth quake which visited southern California just before midnight Tuesday was the worst San Diego ever experienced, and seems to have been more severe the further south it progressed. In this city a large number of buildings were cracked and the plaster dislodged, although no houses were shaken down. In a jewelry store on Fifth street, a large ornamental lamp was thrown from its case, and, crashing through a showcase, did about $200 damage.' So far as known no one was hurt. Reports from outside the city say that the church and schoolhouse in Paradise Valley, which was built upon stilts, were thrown down and al most totally demolished. A telephone message from Campo, 011 the border of the desert in the southeast part of the county, says that the first shock, which occurred at 11 :21 p. m., was preceded by a loud rumbling like the sound of distant thunder. Several sharp trem blings followed in quick succession. The rumblings and shocks kept up at inter vals of twenty minutes or more through the night until 4 :53 a. m., when a fear ful shock, with vibrations lasting twenty five seconds,7 and accompanied by loud rumblings, caused the inhabitants to rush out of their houses in terror. At Jamul the walls of the stone kilns at the cement works were cracked and other damage done. Rumblings have been heard all day in the hills and. the moun tains thereabouts, and the inhabitants are panic-stricken. - Messages from Lower California are to the effect that Ensenada, Alamo and San Quentin ex perienced the severest shocks within the memory of the oldest' inhabitant. At Ensenada, buildings swayed to and fro and the people rushed into the streets, frightened by the unusual noises which followed the seismic disturbances. The mining town of Alamo was also severely shaken, and at San Quentin the Peninsular railway came in for" con siderable damage to its roadbed. Re ports from the latter place say the shocks were simply unparalleled, lasting fullv seventv seconds. . Under Distressing Circumstances. San Fhaxcisco, Feb. 25. J. W. Col lins,' president of the California National bank of San Diego, has been arrested for the embezzlement of $200,000. A. K. Burnett, of San Diego, was seen at the Grand last night and expressed surprise at learning of President Collins' arrest: "Collins has been one of our most prom inent and public-spirited citizens," he said, "and every one has had implicit confidence in his integrity. He is about 45 years of age, has resided at San Diego. for at least eight years, and by shrewd investments made a good deal of money during the ' boom of 1886-7, when the bask was founded. Last fall he put a large sum in a motor road then being constructed near Seattle or Tacoma, I have forgotten which city and it was said that the enterprise would prove un profitable, as I believe it has. Of late it has been rumored that he had lost much of his Shrewdness. It 'was whispered that he had shown pymptoms of mental collapse. About two years ago his wife and children were drowned in the bay under peculiarly distressing circumstan ces, and he has certainlyj not been the same man since his bereavement. That is the most satisfactory, explanation which I can give of his alleged enibezzle ment." ' " ' ' : Faeecioas 'McBermott. '. New Yoke, Feb. 25. At the- banquet of . the New York board of trade and transportation last night E. J. McBer mott, of Louisville, made the banquet notable bv his laudations of ex-President Cleveland and his denunciation of Hill. Then, too. his remarks on the silver question were pointed. "If the govern ment is compelled to buy silver from Colorado," said he, "why should she not buy bourbon from Kentucky? Silver weigh one down, while bourbon buoys one up." Another Will Contest. . , San Francisco, Feb. 25. When the late Dr. Samuel Merritt, of Oakland, died, he left a $3,000,000 estate to his sister, Mrs. Garcelon. Two nephews threatened to contest the will and , Mrs. Garcelon compromised with them for $500,OD0. Mrs. Garcelon died and lett "umeroa8 legacies, amounting to $300,- OOO to eastern relatives. Six-tenths of the remainder was given in trust to Boadoin college, Maine, and four-tenths to the Merritt hospital, Oakland. ' The two nephews have engaged council and threaten to prevent the payment of these bequests'.' Today the ft ueteea of Boudoin college and representatives of the east ern beneficiaries brought suit in the fed eral court of this city alleging the neph ews' claims prevented the trustees from paying the bequests and asking the court to enjoin the nephews from setting up anv claims to the estate. ' Aberdeen's Railway Clash. " Aberdeen, Wash., Feb. 25. The city council last night granted a franchise to the Aberdeen and Victoria railroad com pany through certain streets of this city. One street, over which a franchise was granted, is now occupied by the North ern Pacific grade. This is on the face of the Finch bluff, for which the Northern has paid out about $13,000 for right of way, and expended over $50,000 in grad ing. It turns out that the only available room for a railroad occupies a legal county road which is now a street of the cfty of Aberdeen and on which 1:0 authority has granted right of way here tofore. The Northern brought a con demnation suit for it against E. C. Finch over a year ago and a jury awarded him $5,550 therefore Tacoma Spreading; Herself. Tacoma, Feb. 25. The county auditor has filed a plat of Hayden's addition to Tacoma, situated nineteen mile south of the city and six miles from Roy. The platters did not ask the city council to ac cept the plat, as required by law, and it is believe to be a .swindle, as there is already. ' one Hayden's addition to Tacoma. Also the name of George Hayden, one of- the -' platters;-" is not in the Tacoma directory, nor is he known at the postome.' - One lot has - been re- corded as being sold for $250 at the new addition. One of the platters of which, Mr. Page, 19 believed to be one of the filers of the Highland Park addition to Fairhaven, which, it is said, is ont in the woods. Deserves to he Lynched. ' . Grass Valley, Cal , Feb. 25. Yes terday1 evening a man on horseback, armed with a shotgun, rode up to within hailing distance of a group of children on Rockv Bar Hill, two miles south of this place. . He asked some question which the children could not answer, and then he told them that if they did not respond he would shoot.' The child. ren were still silent and the man fired Doth barrels 01 his gun into the group. The 5-year-old twin sons of Robert Allen were struck in the face by the shot, but owing to the distance, the wounds are not serious. The man escaped and no one knows who he is. Thanh Offering for Health. Chicago, Feb. 25. The University of Chicago today had another gift of $1, 000,000 added to its endowment. A let ter was received by the trustees from John D. Rockefeller tendering that sum in 5 per cent, gold bonds, to be handed over to the trustees with accruing inter est to March J.. The giver reserves the right to disignate the expenses to which the income shall be applied. . The letter concludes : "I make this gift as a spec ial thanks offering to Almighty God for returning health." The Dead Lock in it ranee. . Paris, Feb. 25. The ministerial dead lock continues and a dissolution ot the chamber of deputies is probable. After a five-minute session today the chamber adjourned until Saturday. . - IIOUVIER GIVES IT VP. . Paris, Feb. 25. liouvier has given up the attempt to form a ministry, and LBougiers, a member of the late cabinet, has undertaken the task. . . Horse Thieves Captured. . Bushskll. IH.,. Feb.. 25. Last night two men named Gibbons and Walters were arrested here by a deputy sheriff from Sprague, Wash., who accuses them of stealing sixty. head of horses in Wash ington and selling them here. ' They were bound over for ten days. . New Trial Itefused. - - : Pittsburg, Feb.- 25. The Post Pub lishing company, defendants in the Quay libel suit, were refused a new trial this morning. The company was fined $300, and Messrs. Barr and Mills, presi dent and editor respectively, $50 and costs each. . . SO GREAT IS ECONOMY. The RiYer and Harbor Bill is to lie SlasM Right and Lett . NORTHERN . RIVERS TO- SUFFER. The Pacific Coast to be Included in This New Idea of Saving. DlUGGIe ITS DKEAKT LENGTH. Sympathies of the Fress in Favor of DuBoia- Mormons Said to Favor Claggett. Washington, Feb. 25. It is believed by a number of democrats,' who claim to be on the inside, that the river and harbor bill will be from $5,000,000 to $3,000,000 less than that passed two years ago. The cut in all improvements is said to be very great, and of such a character as to hamper all work now in progress and to delay the completion of all waterway improvements much be yond the time generally intended, and to such an extent as to make future ex penditures greater. The idea of economy in the present house seems to have pre vailed in every committee, and even reached the river and harbor committee, which usually appropriates more liber ally than the others. The greatest cut is said to be in northern rivers, and lakes, and the Pacific coast. These sec tions have been trim med. do wir with an unsparing hand, while the South is pretty well taken care of. Such are the reports that are given out by leading democrats whose interests are affected by the action of the committee. Drag-Kins; Its Weary . Length. Washington-, Feb. 25. The contest of Claggett against Dubois continues to drag its dreary length along until the people are getting tired of it. The im pression has been all along that Dubois was entitled to the seat, and that the TOte was not a valid one in any sense. It was quite an innovation that the sen ate allowed Claggett to speak in his own behalf. Senator Sanders, of Montana, who is one of the men supporting Clag gett, claims' that the newspaper men in Washington have been against Claggett and in favor of Dubois. This maybe so, and if the sympathies of the press are with Dubois it is because it is generally believed he is entitled to the seat as a matter of right and equity, and because of the hard work he has done for the state in the past four years. The oppo sition to Dubois comes mainly from the Mormons, who in every section of the west are doing their utmost against him Kain Makerss Want Time. Washington, Feb.25. Secretary Rusk today, in answer to a senate resoiution, communicated to the senate the report of the special agent of the department of agriculture upon the rain-making ex periments. General Dyrenfurth, who is in charge of the experiments, in sum-, ming up their . results says : The few experiments made do not furnish suffi cient data from which to form a definite conclusion, -or evidence upon which to uphold or condemn the theories of the artificial production or the increase of rainfall by concussion. What it has done so far is altogether preliminary, but with the benefit of the experience gained I hope the subject will be pursued. . ; : ' Spokane has a Koud Muddle. Chicago, Feb. 2o. Mayor Fothering ham, of Spokane,- AYash., reached Chi cago last night with city of Spokane bonds for some $l,200,00ff, which he de sires to sell to Chicago brokers. ' Mayor Fotheringham's departure from Spokane was made quietly to avoid some interfer ence with the sale of the bonds, threat ened by the Western agent of the Bos ton bond-buying firm of Blair & Co., who claimed to have some prior right to purchase.tfee securities, and .hinted he would stop the transfer to Chicago brokers ,by injunction. Spokane citi zens, who claimed the issue of the bonds were illegal, are also after the mayor with an injunction. The mayor main tains the bonds are valid. . Strikers Sentence Commuted. Pittsburg, Feb. 25. Rusnak, Sabol and Todt, the three Hungarians sen tenced to death for killing a 'foreman during the- strikers' riot at the Edgar Thompson steel works, two years ago, were notified today that their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment.
