11l .11. (MGOFTNmRTJj )- • ' Staid Old Philadelphia Disturbed On. • a Peaceful Sabbath Morning. ! BUILDINGS AKE SWAYED. i' Fissure Was Opened In Which No Bot- I tom Wm Found at One Hm Ired Feet. Animals at. the Zoological Gardens Are , Badly Frightened — Brooklyn Notice, the Earth’s Trembling. Philadelphia, Sept. 2.—An earthquake shock lasting several seconds was I felt in this city shortly after 6 o’clock I yesterday morning. The disturbance I by mother earth of tho quiet Sabbath i morning was violent enough while it 1 lasted to create a good deal of conster-; i nation and not. a little damage. Build- • . ings perceptibly swayed, windows clat- ( „ tered and-banged, and clocks and pic-; tures toppled from their places. The shock was most severely felt in tho suburban districts, and it is said ; that in ono part of George’s hill, in j Fairmont park, a fissure was opened ' permitting the entrance of a plummet, I which extended down over 100 feet without touching bottom. A large plateglass window in a store on Germantown avenue was split from top to bottom. Similar cases are reported from other sections of the city. At the Zoological gardens the vibration was clearly perceptible, but the excitement which, followed among the animals continued for a good while ' after the seismic disturbance. Head Keeper Manley asserts the trumpeting of the elephants, the roars of the lions ; and the screeching of the birds was ter- ; ! rifle. At Mr. Manley’s’ resiifencerbe-; ; sides the breaking of several windows, • a clock was thrown from a shelf. No damage to life has been reported. Brooklyn Is Shucked. Brooklyn, Sept. 2. —Three distinct I earthquake shocks were felt by the resi- ■ dents of Brooklyn yesterday morning. I No damage to life or property was re-. ported froin any section of the city. The districts of east New York and south Brooklyn received the greatest shock, , but the rumblings were felt in other sec- • tions of the eity. Contradictory reports are given as to the severity of the shocks. The firsj/shock. which was felt at 6 o’clock,/ was followed by a rumbling noise like distant thunder. This was two other slighter shocks, which, according to most of the reports, : died away \ a low gracing noise. At Coney Island all the inhabitants were -arou.-yd from their sleep by the i rumbling noise and the shaking of the houses. » / No Damage at Wilmington. Wilmington, Del., Sept... .3.—Quite a perceptible shock of earthquake was • felt in this city yesterday morning. | The vibration lasted fo%several seconds ' and was observed in every section of the town. No damage has been reported. Shock Light in New York. New York, Sept. 2.—The earthquake shock was slight here and lasted for 10,1 seconds. It traveled from south to ■ north, but comparatively few persons in ; the city noticed the disturbance. Felt at Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook, N. Y., .Sept. 2.—A , shock, apparently that of an earthquake, lasting about three seconds, was felt here yesterday morning. •" ASSAULTED~BY INSANE CONVICTS. I Attendant at the Matteawan Asylum For ■ Insane Convicts Nearly Killed. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Sept. 2.—The ' facts about a murderous assault com- i mitted by Mrs. Lizzie Haliiday, the Monticello murderess, on Miss Kate Ward, an attendant at the Matteawan state asylum for insane criminals where Mrs. Halliday is confined, on Friday last have just leaked out. Mrs. Halliday was assisted in her assault bn the attendant by Jane Shannon, another convict patient, Who was committed to the asylum from St. Lawrence county about three years ago, and who is considered the most dangerous of the female patients in the institution. Miss Ward went into the bathroom and was seized by the murderess and thrown to the floor. Mrs. Shannon then jumped on Miss Ward’s prostrate form, while Mrs, Halliday crammed the towel which she had brought to Miss Ward into the latter’s mouth. Then the two crazy and revengeful women kicked and pounded the attendant, Mrs. Halliday tearing her hair and scratching her face with her finger nails. The attendant, when help reached her, was unconscious and it was thought that she would die. She rallied, however, on Saturday, and though bruised quite badly will recover. Another “Official” Story. Madrid, Sept. 2.—A Polish count, Hobkirk, who was a passenger on the American steamer Allianca when she * was fired on by a Spanish ' gunboat off Cape Maysi, Cuba, and who accuses the i captain of the Allianca of suppressing in Jgs evidence that the Allianca carriecrcoutraband of war and was within Cuban waters, has arrived here, and has seen the ministers of war and of marine regarding the matter. The governmeuf, however, declines to reopen the question. The count has published his story in the Spanish newspapers, and it has caused a sensation here. Bad Freignt Wreck. Huntington, Pa., Sept. 2.—An eastbound freight on the Pennsylvania railroad was wrecked by a broken axle six miles' west of this city late Saturday ’ night. Twenty cars loaded with coal i and bridge iron were entirely demolished and the debris piled up on both tracks for over 100 yards. 8. E. Franks, a brakeman, whs instantly killed. Democrats Repudiate the Platform. Kenton, 0., Sept. 2.—The Democrats of Hardin county, at their convention Saturday, by a two-thirds vote, declared ■ for the free linage of silver and repudiI ated the sTate platform adopted at Springfield.

Various experiments In glass manu- | facture are reported in French papers, among these being an attractive description of ornamental products, the i i process, as will be seen, being charac- { i terized by extreme simplicity. The sur- j face, as described, is first ground either by the sand blast or the ordinary method, and is then covered with a sort of ' varnish; on being dried, either In the I sun or by artificial heat, the varnish ! contracts strongly, taking ivith it the j I particles of glass, to whick it adheres, . ! and as the contraction takes place along ! i definite lines, the pattern produced by i the removal of the particles of glass re- • sembles very closely the branching J crystals of frost work. The pattern | may be varied in character by changing i the thickness of the film of varnish, a i single coat giving a small, delicate es- i feet, while a thin film, formed by put- i ting on two, three, or more boats, con- ; tracts so strongly as to produce a large ; and bold design; by using colored glass. ; a pattern in half tint may be made on ; ( the colored ground.

Everybody knows how the perseverance of a spider encouraged Robert Bruce to regain his kingdom of Scotland, but not so many know that according to Jewish tradition a spider saved David’s life. Saul was hunting for him, and his soldiers approached a cave where David was hidden. Shortly before, however, a spider had spun her web at the mouth of the cave, and the soldiers, taking It for granted that if he had taken refuge In the cave he must have brokbn the web, departed, forgetting the web might have been spun after as well as before his entrance. A spider saved, the life of the grand-uncle of the German emperor. Frederick William was king of Prussia, and an attempt was made to poison him in a cup of chocolate. By chance a spider fell into the cup, and for this reason the monarch gave the chocolate to a dog, who immediately died. Inquiry was made, with the result that the cook was hanged, and a large spider wrought in gold now decorates one f)t the chief rooms of the winter palace at Potsdam in memory of the king’s escape, ; Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World’s Fair Highest Award.

'TOININSINE MAN. “Jack the Ripper” Said to Bo In an English Asylum. I WEAK MEDICAL STUDENT. Studied Too Hard i.nd Got Off Ula Balance—Affected by a Religions Fervor Which Impelled Him to Kill tho AVomen—Suspicion First Directed to liln. by Bloody Clothing. Ni:w . York, Sept. 2.—Dr. Forbes ' Winslow of London, a well known spoLrialist on suicide and insanity, says that i “Jack the Rippor,” wjio terrorized London a few years ago, is incarcerated in n lunatic asylum in England. Dr. Winslow says this fact is known to the ' doctors, but they hushed up tho facts. ' Tho doctor says tho criminal R a medical student suffering from suicidal mania. i Dr. Winslow is in New York to at- ! tend the medico-legal congress, which will be held. Sept. 4, 5 and 6. He will i bo chairman of the department of insanity and mental medicine and has prepared a paper on suicide, >as a mental epidemic. The story told by Dr. Winslow is as follows: i “ ‘Jack the Ripper’ was a medical student of good family. He was a young man of slight build, with light iiair and blue eyes. He studied very ; hard, and pis mind, being naturally ; weak, gave way. He became a religious ' enthusiast and attended early service ' every morning at St. Paul’s. I “His religious fervor resulted in hornieidal mania toward the women of the i street and impelled him to murder them. He lodged with a man whom I know, and suspicion was first directed toward j him by reason of the fact that he returned to his lodgings at unseasonable hours; that he had innumerable coats and hats stained with blood, “I have in my possession a pair of ; Canadian moccasins stained with blood that the ‘Ripper’ wore while on his murderous expeditions. I notified the : Scotland yard authorities, but at that ' time they refused to co-operate with ; me. Subsequently the young man was placed in confinement and removed to an asylum where he is today. Since I his incarceration there has been no ; repetition of the horrible murders that ' he perpetrated. “These facts are all known to the j English authorities, and it is conceded j that the man now in the asylum is I ‘Jack the Ripper.’ It was dfiemed desirable, however, to hush the matter up. The details were tod horrible to be made the subject of a public trial, aud there was no doubt of the man’s hopeless insanity.” LOAD OF HORSE MEAT. Some Choice Chicago Cats Interrupted on Their Way to Ilamniond. Chicago, Sept. 2.—Fred,. Green was arrested Saturday on a charge of violation of the city ordinances covering the disposition of horse meat. Green was found driving an express wagon down Center avenue. The way it was covered excited the suspicion of the officers and, stopping him, they lifted the cover of the wagon and found in the wagon apoarently a part of a horse. The animal had been chopped up into small pieces and the whole had been covered with the.hide of the horse. Green was taken to the police station, where he told the officers that he was in the- employ of a man named Henry Witte, who keeps a saloon near the Bride Well, and who has several old horses. Green said that he killed the animal at the suggestion of his employer, and when arrested was on his way to Hammond, Ind: The meat was chopped in pieces, each of which would weigh from two to three pounds, and looked as if it might have been corned beef. The stuff was taken to the rendering tanks at the stockyards.. Thinks Cleveland Is After Him. Brazil, Ind., Sept. 2.—lt is definitely known that the insane man arrested here is William Connors, who went crazy while lecturing against Catholicism and on temperance at Danville, Ills., and was sent to the Kankakee (Ills.) asylum. He has been taken to Greencastle to await the necessary papers for his admittance to the insane asylum. Connors attempted to leap _ from the train on the way, under the hallucination that President Cleveland was after him and trying to kill him. Turkey Is Worried. Constantinople, Septa 2.—Meetings of the ministers have taken place at the palace on three successive evenings, lasting until midnight, to discuss Armenia. It is reported that Emperor William has been asked to intervene, but declined on the ground that the porte had already disregarded his advice to introduce reforms. Then President Faure was approached, but declined to act except in concert with the powers. Surrendered to the Authorities. Quincy, Ills., Sept. 2.—Dora Heilwagon, the young woman who shot and wounded Henry Boling and Mrs. Chet Swearingen at Rock Creek, went to the nolice station and surrendered Saturday. Belle Jones, who was with her at the time of the tragedy, was arrested, but was afterward released, as it appeared that she was not implicated m the trouble. Charge. Against a Mayor. Ashland, Wis., Sept. 2.—Charges have beeh preferred against Mayor C. M. E. McClintock, signed by A. E. Dixon, W. L. Windom and J. F. Scott, charging him with extorting money from city employes.
