Z., Feb. fl.-New tremors shook the Napier area today while evacuation of the town, devastated by earthquake and fire, continued. The bottom of the harbor, permanently raised by the earthquake, was subjected to new earth movements and the naval sloop Veronica was grounded again. The sloop has been aground or in shallow water several times since the earth shocks began. Relief work was fully organized under government direction. Food, clothing, and medical supplies were being distributed to survivors, and complete order was maintained in Napier and Hastings, although some looting was reported from other 'owns in the earthquake zone. The number of dead still could only be guessed at as rescue parties attacked heaps of debris. The latest estimate was 200 known dead and 1,000 injured.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s "Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Thursday’s Times: Micklefield, the Ardent Prohibitionist—Julian Micklefield of Surrey, England, who died in 1861, was an extreme teetotaler and fanatical “water prophet,” whose avowed purpose in formulating his bizarre will was to “gain adherents for his beliefs.” This literal threat to the freedom of the seas was thwarted by the English high court of justice, which, in formal legal phraseology, declared “the decedent’s last will and testament to be of an exaggerated visionary nature and incapable of fulfillment.” Reference Charles A. Swinburne’s prefatory dedication of his “Miscellanies” (1868). Lord Byron Is a National Hero in Greece—Lord Byron died as commander-in-chief of the Greek insurgents in their war of Independence against Turkey in 1823. The great English poet' is a national hero of modem Greece. In his lifetime the crown of Greece could have been his for the asking. After his death the grateful Greeks embalmed his heart and placed it in their national shrine. While the body of the poet was interred in England. Mathurin Gonde Sold His Land for a Dish of Goose Gravy a Day— Mathurin Gonde, a priest of Chapelle Vicomptesse canton de Droue arrondissement de Vendomc, sold his property to Pierre Leclerc of Soltray. The sale price was a dish of goose gravy, to be supplied every day during his lifetime, which payment was made for seventy years, until his death in 1723. Reference—Bibl. de la Soc. Arch. Vendome titre notaire Oct. 13, 1653. Saturday—“ The Man who Has Suffered More Pain Than Any One Else in the World.” HONOR LINCOLN MEMORY Bar Association Will Pay Tribute to Martyr President.

Moore, assistant district attorney, and thanked each juror. ¶ During the trial Rose Hickey, Maxon’s landlady, testified he tried to attack her the night of the free-for-all. Two other witnesses described the killing of Paynter in the free-for-all caused by the alleged attacks. ¶ Maxon claimed he had gone to Mrs. Hickey's room to ask her about a gas line shutoff after twisting off a pipe attempting to straighten it, that her screams caused the fight, that a chair wielded by another broke the lights in the room, and that Paynter was killed by one of the party, identity unknown, in the dark. ¶ Maxon had come to New York to make good as a writer, after newspaper experience in Chattanooga, Tenn., and Dover, N. J., and was a student at Columbia. . ————————— The tiger is an exclusively Asiatic animal and is not found wild in Africa.
