I M n t I I.a I1 oll jl Coast railway, midway between Santa Ynox and Santa Marin, in the long, narrow valley of tho Los Alamos, IS miles from the coast. It has about 300 population. The Los Alamos valley Is from one-halt to one mllo wido. Its population is about 800. There are no brick buildings in the littlo village, and tho damago thus far it limited to tho ruin of platter, the collapse of chimneys, tho breaking of crockery anil glassware, tho falling of tho nails of tho Presbyterian church and two store buildings and tho demolishing of an old adobe building which was seriously damaged by tho first quake. Tho dam ace will not exceed 110,000 in tho opinion of conservative residents of the place. There is not a chimney loft standing in tho town. Ono residence was moved four Inches and split in oppoelto corners. Not a building escaped some Injury, and it is consid ered miraculous that no ono was hurt. There was a scries of light vibrations during the day, which culminated in quito a severe shock at 7:30 P. M. 1-rut her shocks are anticipated. The most severe shock of tho entire scries occurred at 1 :20 this morning, when the hits were shaken and twisted to their foundations and tho valley trem bled and rolled like the surface of the ocean. Grc.it Insures were run in tho earth, hills appeared in level valleys, springs of water opened up in places that htd been dry, m d tho general to nography of tho valley was greatly changed in many respects.. The disturbance had no general direc tion, but was what is known as a "twister." It was preceded by a rumbling like that of distant thunder, which increased until tho earth began to rock and twist and the hills began to tremble. With the first warning of the sound of the approaching disaster the terror-stricken peoplo rushed into the streets and sought places of safety in vacant lots and fields, while many hastened toward tho neighboring hills. The first vibrations were similar to the preceding disturbances in direction and effect, but they were immediately fol lowed by the most terrific shock ever experienced in this section of the state. The earth tiemhled and rolled and twisted until it was impossible to stand erect, and the terror-stricken peoplo crouched together in the darkness, fear ful that the earth beneath them misfit open and swallow them up. 8OL0IERS ARE IDLE. Nothing for Them to Do at Shenandoah Strikers arc Orderly. Shenandoah, J Pa., Aug. 2. Twelve hundred state troops are encamped to night on a hill overlooking Shenan doah. Down in the town, where riot ers and policemen ought the bloody battle last night, all is quiet, and the Indications are that so lone as tho militia remains the peace "ol the com mumty will not again tie broken. The riot which caused the soldiers to be sent here came like a flash and was over almost as quickly as it had started, and not a single case of violence has been reported since. The tens of thousands of idle men and boys in this vicinity who nave oeen gathering in lanre num bers and marching from place to place, did not repeat their demonstrations to day, and the authorities consequently nau little or nothing to do. 1 be arrival of the citizen soldiery proved 10 w a great attraction for the large army of unemployed, and hun dreds of men and boys came to town to see the troops, ilost of the commands were on the ground by 10:30 o'clock.

The camp Is located on a high hill just outsiue oi me town, and commands a full view of the town. Beyond the presemo of a group of soiuiers iiero and thero on the princi pal streets, Shenandoah does not show any evidence of having passed through a trying ordeal. The large numer of persons who had been attracted to the place by the cojilng of the militia left daring the afternoon, and tonight the town presents its normal appearance. French Officii!

A N. railroad on. tho north hank ot tho Snnko river between Rlparla and Lowlston has been award od to Wren & Greonough, contractor, who had hitherto been Identified chlelly with construction work on tho North orn Pacific.

It may lie completed be fore January 1. As a result of this arrangement, the Northern Pacltlo will icaso hauling garln eastward to Spokane and t bunco westward to tho coast, and will move Ita share ot tho tonnage to tho termi nus ot tho Central Washington Brunch. Thero It will be taken by tho Grvnt Northern and carried to Seattle, In stead ot to Taconm, as heretofore. Davenport', Wash., Aug. (1. The greatset aggregation ot railroad talent that ever came into the west on ouo train pulled into Davenport at 0 o'clock a. m. on a special ot six cars, and before the magnates took tho back track to Spokane in tho afternoon they substantially agreed t mako a loner rate on grain to tide-nater points. It was a great day for Daven port and tho Big Bond, but tho cfTcct of tho assurances made by tho railroad presidents will reach beyond tho con fines of Big Bend and beyond tho Suaku river, for, in tho language of President Molten, "tho transportation interests of tho entire Northwest aro so closely Interwoven that, like a card houro, when rates tumblo in one part of tho country they must como down all along tho lino." As a reason for making tho reduc tion, Mr. Mellen announced that hia company would at once exlund tho Washington Central from ita present terminus, at Coulee City, to Adrian, on tho Croat Northern, thus saving a haul of 150 miles. This announcement created wild enthusiasm among the largo audience of farmers which had previously listened to a very interest ing speech by President James J. Hill, n which tho reduction had liven hinted at only in tho faintest jiosslble manner. Tho big Bend Is exclusively Hill and Mellen territory, and for that reason President Mellen ot the O. It. k N., when called on, very aptly an nounced that he was a railorad man without n railroad, so far as this section was concerned The meeting was very enlhueiatslc, and tho speeches of the three railroad presidents were gems of the first water. Tho amount of reduction and tho time of its taking effect will not be decided until alter tho mooting at Colfax. At the conclusion ol the mass meet ing, a conference was held between a committee of farmers and tho railroad men. At this conference, Ixith sides submitted arguments in sup;ort of their respective claiais regarding tho amount ot the reduction, and tho mat ter is under advisement nntil tho rest of tho territory affected rlmll be heard from. In his speech to the farmers Pres ident Hill vigorously attacked legisla tion on railway rates, saying: "As well try to set a broken limb by statuto, as to adjust rates. You can legislate until the barn doors rot oft. Tho host thing to do is to act as you have hero with tho officials. We will try to act in such a way that you will realize that we are doing something fair ami in good faith. "What you want is the highest price from any store. You want a now mar ket. You must mako a market. You must make more pooplo use your stud. Statesmen tell us how to do thin; but they get a consideration for doing I cannot find in public acts one i Mn .!,. .. !, , intelligent thing that you havo done to get new markets. I don't know any place where you have not been left to shift tor voursloves as farmers. You have crops that keep you busy four months In the year. You want to do something the rest of the timo besides whittling and holding down a nail keg. What you should do Is to raise stock, roots, forage. There Is nothing better than raising stock."
