New Yobk, Oct. 27. A dispatch from Buenos Ayres says : At one minute past 5 o'clock, sharp, today, a sharp shock of earthquake was felt in Buenos Ayres, which greatly alarmed the resi dents. The center of the disturbance appears to have been the city of San Juan, capital of the province. Churches, theaters schools, government offices and private houses were thrown down, and the streets were filled with debris. Many persons were killed and injured, and the people of the town are in a panic. The shock was felt at twenty minutes past 4, the direction being south. The earthquake was felt at La Paz, in the province of Mendoza, at 23 minutes past 4. A church ia the village . of Mercedes had its walls cracked, and the safety of the building is menaced. A later dispatch from Cordoba says that fiaenres have shown themselves in the walls of the cathedral and that several churches are unsafe. The city is very much alarmed. The newspaper offices are besieged by persons anxious for news of the interior. Another Instance of Bis Boldness. Sacbamento, Cal., Oct. 27. Frank Jones, a youthful highwayman, who en tered the office of Captain Hawks, and compelled him to deliver at a pistol point, has been identified as the burglar who entered the residence of Mr. Weth- erbee several , nights ago, while the family was away. He gathered up a quantity of silverware and other articles, which he placed in a valise. He then lighted a fire in the dining-room and prepared a meal, of which he partook The stolen property was recovered by the police in various pawn shops in this city, and the officers had been looking for him for several days until yesterday The pistol used by the robber was ident ified by Mr. Wetherbee as one that he had brought from Boston ten years ago and it was rusty and less harmful than a toy pistol. The Safe Was Looted. jviabshfibld, ur.t Uct. 27. Tne epi demic of robbing Wells, Fargo & Co, reached this 'section night before last, when the safe in John Roberta' general merchandise store, at Myrtle Point, was looted of its contents, $1,500, $1,250 of which belonged to Wells, Fargo & Co., and the remainder to Mr. Roberts. No trace, as yet, has been found of the mis creant who committed the deed. Mr, Roberts is agent for .Wells, & Co., and went home about midnight, after the mail had arrived, leaving the combina tion of the safe off. The burglars effect ed an entrance by raising a window. A thousand dollars of the money was be' ing consigned to Flanagan & Bennett, bankers here, through Wells, Fargo & Co. Free Silver In Georgia's Legislature, Atulnta, Oct. 27. A motion to take up a resolution in the house of repre sentatives in Georgia's legislature, de claring it to be the sense of the legisla ture that congress should enact a law for free and unlimited coinage of silver and condemning the representatives in con gress who voted for the repeal of the Sherman law, was defeated by a vote of 94 to 63. Only 24 democrats voted to take up- the resolution! " The others were populists. The Oregon's Immense Barbette. ' Homestead, Pa., Oct. 27. The Car negie Steel Company has completed the immense barbette for the battleship Or Highest of all in Leavening Power. Li' Vv Cy a egon, being built in San Francisco. It is the largest piece of armor plate work ever turned out of Homestead or in Ameriaa. It weighs 400 tons and will require 14 cars to carry it to the Western coast. Officials of the -Carnegie com pany and of the navy department in spected the work this week. It will 'be shipped next week.' Small Lenses Combined. Chicago, Oct. 27. Professor T. S. C. Lowe, of Pasadena, Cal., the inventor and owner of the Mount Lowe railroad, and also an astronomer 'of note, thinks the invention of a Chicago man has rev olutionized the entire scope of telescopic research. Mr. Lowe is making a busi ness trip throuph the East, and is stop ping in Chicago for a few days. He has examined the new telescope invented by Gatham, of this city. Mr. Gatham and his new glass have heretofore been pronounced exceedingly visionary, and the inventor is naturally elated over the indorsement of a man of the scientific tanding of Professor Lowe. Mr. Gath- am's method of construction is diametri cally opposed to the old plan. Instead of the large lens, which, owing to the difficulties surrounding manufacture, has always been full of defects, Mr. Gatham has built a telescope composed of a number of small lenses, two inches in diameter. These lenses are set in a stiff glass frame, or sash, and are ex ceedingly dense and clear. The com bined effect jof the small lenses causes them to act as a single lens. Telescope builders haye denounced this theory as totally impracticable. Professor Lowe says the idea is a success, and is one of the most important discoveries for years in astronomical science, and he adds : I confess that when the idea was first presented to me I was not favorably im pressed with its practicability. I prom ised to look at Mr. Gatham's invention. however, at my earliest opportunity. and so Tuesday night I examined it. I can only say I was exceedingly surprised and pleased to see the moon and belts of Jupiter in looking through Mr. Gatham's inch telescope. The oceans and divis ions of Mars were also defined in an as tonishingly clear manner, notwithstand ing all the adverse conditions which sur round Chicago for astronomical observa tions. I have a 16-inch instrument on Mount Lowe, but if. Mr. Gatham's tele scopes were put ' upon the market, the Mount Lowe Company would be willing to place one of them. I see no reason whv a 50-inch instrument could not be made which would work wonders in as tranomical discovery. Such a telescope as the Lick could not, in my opinion, be put in the same class with a telescope built on these lines. Itopens the entire question anew, and it looks to me as if no limit can now be put on the possibill ties of sidereal research. It is certainly a wonderful discovery." . Mr. Gatham says he can build an in' strument for $1000 which will be as ef fective as the famous Lick telescope. The "Wound Not Powder-Burned. Chicago, Oct. 27. Charles Powell, whom it was alleged his sister, Mrs, Nellie Sweetman, shot, died this morn ing. The shooting occurred at the home ot Mrs. o wee t man, alter sue naa come in from a drive with a friend, who has been courting her. She alleges her brother shot himself. The police claim this is not true, as the wound was not powder-burned. : The Czar Ate Well. St. Peteksbtbg, Oct. 27. A bulletin, issued at 7 o'clock this evening, from Livadia, says: 'The czar ate well during the day The action of his heart is rather better, The oedema has not increased. His spirits are better than they were yester day." Will They Marry Today? Berlin, Oct. 27.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few -years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local rem edies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F. J.
