SEVERAL SHOCKS CAUSE A PANIC.

No One Is Hurt, However, and Property Is but Slightly Damaged—Disastrous Work of CloudburgtH mid Landslide* Out West.

EARTHQUAKE AT EVANSVIM.E. EVA.NSVII.I.E, Intl., July 27.— At 8:30 Sunday evening Evansviile experienced a severe earthquake shock. Tho entire city was thrown into a panic, congregations in all the churches rose to their feet in the midst of the service and ran pell mell into the street, women and children screaming and fainting. At the hotels the greatest excitement prevailed. Guests rushed from their 'rooms into the corridors, then into the oflice and finally on to the streets. The duration of the shocks was scarcely more than throe seconds, but it was long enough to unliousc nearly every man, woman and ohild in Evansville.

The noise accompanying the disturbance was really the most panicky part of the whole performance. It was loud and indescribable. It was not a report like a cannon, but rather like crashing of a big tree In a heavy wind.

At the First Uaptist ehurjft Dr. lieagle had just given out I'.U l«xt when there was a rumble, a shock and the building groaned. The congregation was thoroughly terrified and the church was empty before one could count five. .lames ScilFert and wife and two ladies were driving along Cherry street iu a carriage when tho shock came. 1'he people pouring out of McFurland chapel frightened the horse and a runaway resulted. All the occupants of the vehicle were more or less injured, but none fatally. At first nobody appeared to be certain of just what was the matter. On Sycamore street, near the chamber of commerce, some one of the excited throng there cried: "The courthouse." Immediately there was a headlong rush iu the direction of that structure. Its foundation had been said to be weak and everybody seemed to conclude that the massive pile had collapsed.

The shock was felt more severely In the southwest end of the city. Part of the side wall of the Stock Yard liotel was shaken off am! the window lights in several houses in the western section of the town were broken. This is the first shock felt in this vicinity for several years. It was much more pronounced than the last.

The distinct report accompanying the shock led many to suppose that a powder magazine on the outskirts of the city had let go. Tho vibration at Henderson, 10 miles below here, was very violent. Chairs were overturned and several buildings aro said to have been wrecked. Keports from other outlying cities tell of no serious damage. Mount Vernon, Newburg and other southern Indiana points and places in northern Kentucky experienced stronger earthquake shocks than those felt in Evausville.

CI.OUMH'HSTS 1)0 MUCH DAMAGE. CAUSON CITY, Nev., July 27.—A thunderstorm Friday afternoon came near wiping out the mountain town of Genoa, Nev. About 3 o'clock a cloud burst near where a snowsllde occurred years ago. In a few moments great torrents of water came do\?n three separate canyons, sweeping everything before it. When tho first alarm was given women and children hurried to safer quarters through the rain, carrying their babies in their arms from Qenoa canyon. The water rushed down In a single column 20 feet high, carrying logs and boulders with it. Koeks and debris cover much iif the finest meadow and grain land, and a great deal of damage Is also entailed by the loss of crops.

GOLDEN, Col., July 27.—A terrific washout and landslide combined occurred Saturday night on the Colorado Central railroad. A cldud burst about :t miles east of Idaho Springs on a mountain, and struck tho railroad [rack at a place called Fall River. The water rushing down the side of the mountain carried with it an immense amount cf sand, gravel and great rocks. It struck a cabin on •the hillside, in which a man named

Brooks was sleeping, and wiped it out of existence. The unfortunate man has not been seen since, and It Is probable that liis body is under the pile of debris which covers the railroad track. After striking the cabin the slide continued down over the Colorado Central track, covering It for a distance of 400 feet to a depth of 16 feet with lightly packed sand and bowlders. Over ISO feet of track was completely washed away.

FL.OOHS THREATEN ST. JOSEPH, MO. ST. JOSEPH, MO., July 27.—Thcro Is now but little doubt that the Missouri river will change its channel for several miles just west of tills city. United States Engineer Fox and the ollicinls of the lloek Island and St Joseph A Grand Island railroads are alarmed and confess that the danger is imminent, as tho river is cutting through at the licllmont bend. The cut advanced 100 feet Saturday, and the tracks of tho roads mentioned, if the washing continues, will be swept away. In that event this city will be left by the side of a boggy slough and the 81,000,000 bridge and the two railroads will be swamped, Since the cutting began this spring two farms have been lost.

Allied Their llrother's Kacnpe. liiit.MisiiiiAM, Ala., July 27.—Mrs. Ada Avery and Miss Fanny Kelly are in jail. They are two nice looking •women and have a brother named Will Tanner, who was Thursday being conveyed to Coalburg as a convict Tho women met tlie deputy enroute, gathered him snugly in their embrace and held him until their brother had mounted the deputy's horse and lied, lie is still at large.

DISASTERS IN AMKKK'A.

DAYTON, (., July 27.—The wreck at Middletown, near this city, in which three were killed and thirty wounded, on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad Saturday night, is one of the worst that has ever happened in this vicinity. The National Cash Register Company had given its employes an excursion to Woodsdale, near Hamilton, and a train of sixteen coaches left here at 8 o'clock in the morning. Several other trains took passengers to Woodsdale and at 7 o'clock in the evening, when It was time to return. about 2,000 people boarded tin- train. The day had passed merrily and everybody was laughing and chatting when the train reached Middletown at 8 o'clock on its way to this city. Some one had turned the air-brakes on for a joke and the engine was pulling and wheezing to pull the heavy loail with the brakes on. Pretty soon a drawbar broke an I the train was stopped on the siding at Middle town for repairs. The train was No. 8, with Conductor Glance and Engineer Harry Brewer in charge. Several flagmen were sent back to flag No. 44 freight, with Engineer Schwind and Conductor Sam King in charge As soon as the repairs were made tlie passenger excursion pulled out on the main track to make a start. The flagman started on a run to catch the train and just then freight 41 dashed around the bend. Vainly did the brakeinen signal tlie freight train to stop. On it came and dashed into-the rear of the passenger, wrecking three cars. The rear coach was tossed to one side, the next one was splintered, and the third stood on end by the freight engine. A scene of blood and carnage followed. Shrieks of men and women rent the air. Wild confusion .prevailed for a time, and soon citizens of Middletown and the excursionists whro were not hurt lent a hand in rescuing th/ dead and injured. A wrecking train and two relief trains with physicians and assistants were sent out from here and two trains from Cincinnati. The rescuers succeeded in getting all of the wounded out of the wreck and bringing them to this city at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. The dead came on a later train at 10 o'clock. A thousand people thronged the union depot anxious to see and hear of friends and relatives. Women cried for children, husbands and sweethearts, and the scene at the depot was 0 sad one. At length all the wounded who could walk were taken to the hospital or to their homes. The killed were Maria Frier, William Matthews and Frank Simonton, all of Dayton.

As they were ail sitting on the veranda Sunday morning a negro named Craig, who had no fixed home, came up and asked for a Drink of water. It was given him. He thereupon lifted a rusty scythe blade and asked if it was not a good knife. Charley Conway nodded assent and the negro throwing down the cup of water struck him with the knife, splitting his skull. The rest of the family ran into the house. Craig continued to hack the young man till lie thought him dead. He then nttacked the father, who had returned, and killed him. Then the mothor coming up had her head split open and instantly died. After the negro had insanely hacked her body In a dozen places lie attacked William Conway, cutting him in the head and 011 the body as he ran. He luul just struck Conway to the ground when G. W. Bulley, a neighbor, attracted by the screams, came up and shot Craig twice with buckshot. This seemed to have no'effect, but other neighbors had come up and a young man shot Craig with a pistol. Craig ran. and, falling beside a haystack. died in 11 few minutes from the effects of the buckshot wounds. The pistol ball had glanced around his head.

The Con ways were from Maysvllle originally, but came to Bourbon eighteen months ago from T. G. Meggin's farm, near Cynthiaua. They were orderly citizens and were held in the highest esteem. Craig said he had killed seven persons and Intended to kill that whole family. lie is known to have killed his mother-in-law.

Kepnrt Discredited of tho LOBS by a Chilian Torpedo or the rensacoln's lloat. WASHINGTON, July 27.—The navy department is without any ollieial information of the reported destruction of one of the Pensacola's boats and the killing of five men by a torpedo fired in Arica harbor, Chili, by the llalmaceda torpedo cruiser Condell.

June 2S, two days before the accident is said to have occurred, the Pensacola was at Callao, Peru, far north of Arica. and the department was informed that she sailed directly north to San Francisco. Moreover, the Baltimore was with the Pensacola at that time, and Admiral McCann would surely have reported such an event
