THE WENT.

Retorts show that the recent earthquake in the Southwest extended from the Pacific coast in Mexico and Southern California to the Rio Grande River. The dispatches state that there was an unusual disturbance, and that eruptions have broken out at various points. Southern Arizona experienced the severest shocks. At Tucson considerable damage was done to buildings. Goode were thrown from the shelves in stores and many houses were cracked. The shock was accompanied by a rumbling sound. Manv clocks were stopped and the entire population fled to the streets terror-strick-en. The court-house cupola swayed like the mast of a ship in a turbulent 6ea, and the building seemed as though it were toppling over. When the shock struck Santa Catalina Mountain great slices of the mountain were torn from its Side and thrown to its base. The public school building rocked to and fro like a cradle and gome of the plastering fell, causing the utmoat consternation among the scholars. Shortly after the earthquake a volcano broke out twenty-two miles south of Tucson, in Total Wreck Mountains, and the sky was brilliantly illuminated. At Benson the shocks were quite severe, and several buildings were damaged by serious cracks. At Tombstone, windows were broken and buildings cracked and injured, but no persons were hurt. Ten miles from the city a lake covering an acre of ground dried up completely in twenty minutes. The embankments along the New Mexico and Arizona Railway were moved from their former positions, in many instances as much as twelve inches. At Wilcox, a two-story dwelling-house was ruined, and other buildings were seriously damaged. The Indians on the Carlos Reservation were badly frightened. A LOT 128x114 feet at Chestnut and Seventh streets, St. Louis, has been purchased by Joy Gould, who will build upon it a nine-story structure, to be used as headquarters of the Missouri Pacific system. .. .The mills (flour, saw, and planing) and elevator of Mills & Houlton, at .Elk Siver, Minn., a chair factory, and Dickey’s otel, were burned, the loss aggregating $85,000... ,W: C.

Two years’ imprisonment at Joliet and a fine of $1 was the sentence imposed upon Colonel Bolton by Judge Blodgett.at Chicago for a long series of embezzlements from the Government while the Colonel was Superintendent of second-class mail matter in that city. The stealings amounted to about $20,000. Bolton was arrested over a year ago, and was confined in the county jail until about four months ago, when he was removed to the county hospital on the plea that his health had been shattered by his confinement. A Marquette (Mich.) telegram says: “Reports of the recent windstorm are coming in freely. Tne thirteen counties of the upper peninsula were all swept. In some rich pine fields the trees were mowed down like grass. Millions of feet of pine us destroyed, houses unroofed or demolished, unfinished buildings scattered, and chimneys and outhouses destroyed. Scarcely a town or settlement escaped. Only three fatalities are reported, but many persons were seriously injured.” Paul Gkottkau, the Milwaukee anarchist, has been sentenced to one year's hard labor for inciting sedition...D. S. Fotheringham, who was arrested in St. Louis, in connection with the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad last October, has brought 6uit against the Adams Express Company Mid the Pinkertons for SIOO,OOO damages. He was indicted, but the indictment was quashed.

THE SOUTH.

A shock of earthquake lasting two minutes terrified the people of El Paso, Texas, on the afternoon of the 3d inst. Buildings ■were cracked, the plastering of houses fell, and household articles were thrown down. An offensive sulphuric 6mell preceded the vibrations. Severe shocks were al6o felt at Albuquerque and other points in New Mexico. Clay & Woopforo refused $ 100,000 for the famous stallion Hindoo, conditioned bpon his living four rears after the purchase. .. Col. Jones S. Hamilton, lessee of the Mississippi Penitentiary, and ft.

A xrMBEB of colored people assembled on the wharf at the head of Lizardi street to be baptized by immersion, Bays a New Orleans telegram. A large number of persons followed the baptismal party to the wharf to witness the ceremones. They leaned on the wharf railing, which gave

way under the great pressure of the crowd, and about fifty p«r»otn were precipitated into the river. There were a Humber of skiffs in the river in front of the wharf railing. Many of the oocupanta of these small boats ware injured by people and broken railings falling upon them.

They are intended to indicate the deficiency or excess of temperature and rainfall during the growing season for the benefit of those who wish to make estimates of conditions which favor the crops or otherwise.

POLITICAL.

John G. Carlisle presided over the Kentucky Democratic Convention at Louisville. The platform, jointly evolved bv himself and Editor Walterson, protests confidence in the “integrity and conscientious devotion to duty of President Cleveland,” but gives his civil-service policy a slap; is non-committal on the silver qnestion, denounces “sumptuary” legislation, and demands an “immediate reduction of the war Tariff.” Gen. Buckner was nominated for Governor... .The Ohio Republican State Central Committee has decided to hold the State convention at Toledo, July 27 aud 28.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Cotton Council of New Orleans, an organization embracing laborers of all kinds engaged in handling cotton, has collapsed, after an existence of six years, marked by several strikes and riots. The strike of coke-workers in the Connellsville region for an advance in wages was inaugurated on the 4th inst. Over 13,000 men are idle, and not an oven in the district is in operation. During the month of April the number of strikes by or lockouts of industrial workers throughout the United States was 123, a total far in excess of the number in January Inst—ninety-two. The largest number of Btr.kers in April were in the building trades, about. 14.600; next the stove-molders, over 5,400; then “the ironworkers, about 2,300, whieh classes account for two-thirds of the total striking that month.... Muneie, Ind., has seven natural gas wells, and promises to become a great manufacturing center. The Union Steel Company, of Chicago, have 6hut down their steel and rail mill. Seven hundred nnd fifty men were locked out on the strength of a strike of twentyeight drillers, ehippers, and others. It is predicted that if the coke-worker6’ strike continues four weeks, every steelrail mill in the country will have to shnt down. The strikers profess to be confident of winning.

THE RAILWAYS.

It is said that the forthcoming annual report of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad will show that the contemplated extension of that system are of more magnitude than the public has supposed. Among the proposed lines, is one through Indian Territory. Southwestern Texas, and the southwestern pipt of New Mexico, which will bring El Paso 600 miles nearer to the Missouri River than at present and give the Atchison the shortest transcontinental route. The Pacific Railroad Commission will send experts to Boston, Omaha, and San Francisco to examine the accounts of the Union and Central Pacific Companies.... lowa’s Railroad Commission has decided that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad must revise its rates on coal shipments. _

INTERSTATE COMMISSION.

The Interstate Commerce Commission met at Memphis on the 4th inst., and were occupied all day hearing testimony on behalf of the - Louisville and Nflshvilie ~and Na'hville and Chattanooga Railroad®, and points traversed by those roads. The evidence elicited was not Of a character to raise the conviction in the minds pelthose who followed it closely that a good case had been made out in favor oLthe suspension- of the dong • and ’ short haul' clause. The Commissioners crossexamined witnesses closely. arid in nearly every instance drew from them admissions that weakened the force of their testimony. One Nashville witness disclosed the fact that the Louisville and Nashville Road allowed Nashville Hour mills a rate that enabled them to buy wheat at Detroit, take it to Nashville, convert it into four, and deliver it at points of consumption as cheaply as if it had been made into flour at De troit in the first place without paying tribute to Nashville mills. The Interstate Commerce Commission concluded its two days’ labors at Memphis after hearing evidence from merchants of Memphis, Louisville, Lexington. Little

Rock, and Newport, Ark., to the effect that the enforcement of Section 4 would he disastrous to (he commerce and industries of the points named. Tie Louisville and Nashville, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. liOuis, and the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroads were granted two weeks’ time to file arguments and stat sticxl information in support of their petition for the permanent suspension of Section 4. Representatives of the river inteiesis wire also given leave to present their case in writing. Up to this time forty-four railroad companies have filed w.th the Interstate Commerce Commission formal petitions Asking to be relieved from section 4 of the interstate commerce ' law. Probably as many more have been received anil returned for further information. A much larger number has been received from trade organizations, private corporations, and individuals protesting against the suspension of section 4 in particular cases.

The Interstate Commission received a complaint from Chicago that the Sundayschool workers were cut off from “passes” and freight favors, and asking redress. The reply was that all such questions were in the hands of the railroad companies, and they must construe the law to 6nit themselves until the points under it had been adjudicated. r

GENERAL.

An effort will be made at the forthcoming annual meeting of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to oust the Gould clique, which has been in control for several years. Dispatches from Nanaimo, in British Columbia, state that 101 white men and 75 Chinese were in the Vancouver mine at the time of the explosion. Au exploring party entered the burning colliery and found dead miners lying in all directions. Thirty-five bodies have been taken out. All hope of finding any of the men alive had been given up. The fire was still burning, but was under control. There are forty-seven widows, and over one hundred and thirty children left fatherless. Nearly all of the imprisoned miners were from Cornwall, Yorkshire, Wales, and Nova Scotia. The mine is owned by the Vancouver Coal Company, of London, England. R. G.

Speculation in real estate, coupled with great activity in building operations, continues to be lively througuont the West. The railway construction “boom” is unchecked, 937 miles having been completed already this year, against 952 miles to the corresponding date of 1885. “The enormous supply of money,” say It. G.

FOREIGN.

Anti-German demonstrations continue to be made in various sections of Paris, says a dispatch from that city. A procession carrying a banner inscribed “To Berlin” marched to the palace of the Elysee, the residence of President Grevy, where it was dispersed by the police. Twelve of the persons who took prominent pait in this demonstration were arrested. The Government has decided to prosecute the publishers of the paper La Revanche for publishing an article entitled “Down with the Germans, ’’ .arid calculated to arouse a warlike feeling among the French people against the Germans. The Chinese Government has ordered that every foreign missionary in China must hold a passport from his own Government in order that his nationality may be shown.... The ' Paris Siecle sees a sinister significance in General Waldersee's tour aloug the frontiers of Alsace-Lorraine, despite the plausible explanations of his mission given by the German press.

The Australian delegates to the recent colonial conference at London are reported as being greatly displeased with the position of the Ministry on the New Hebrides question, as defined by Lord Salisbury before the conference. The Agent General of Victoria. Sir Graham Berry, is said to have declared that his Lordship's speech on that occasion “would have been excellent coming from the mouth of the French Premi- r." Colonial sentiment is strongly against anv course which implies the slightest recognition of French pretensions in the New Hebrides, whije the Imperial Government is apparently determined not to ri-k a rnptnre' with France even to satisfy the Australians.

The chasm which has hitheto split the French section of the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood in two has been bridged over, and both factions are at work preparing for “an active campaign” against the English Government.

ADDITIONAL NEWS.

“The order of the Knights of Labor is on the eve of a great revolt," says a Chicago dispatch. “There is a widespread feeling auainst the managers of the orderanil especially against General Muster Workman Powderiy—here und among the Knights throughout the entire West, nud this feeling is fed by the relentless agitation of the radicals und socialists. That is the reason why the conseivalives insisted on Mr. l’owderly’s coming to Chicago and investigating the state of affairs in the local assemblies, and it is f»r the s.ime reason that he at last undertook a journey to 1 it-nver aud other Western cities. Assemblies after assemolies are passing resolutions concerning the national management of the order and acting defiantly in direct opposition to Mr. Powderly’s wishes.”

Mr. William O’Brien, editor of United Ireland, arrived at New York last week, and was welcomed by a committee of Irish-Americans, who presented him with a congratulatory and laudatory address. Mr. O’Brien's advance upon Canada has already created immense excitement in that country. In a Methodist church at Ottawa the pastor, speaking to twenty-five hundred auditors, strongly condemned Mr. O’Brien’s mission, but deprecated passion or violence. The congregation sang “ God Save the Queen” vvi.h a gusto after the sermon,.. .Last week the visible supply of wheat in this country was decreared 869,394 bushels, of com 3,036,085 bushels, of rye 4,879 bushels, and of barley 10:1,758 bushels. The supply of oats was increased 124,837 bushels. The present stoqk of wheat in sight amounts to 46.303,081 bushels, against 41,896,898 bushels a year ago.

A Benson (Arizona) dispatch states that an exploring party under General Forsyth, commanding Fort Hauchauca, investigated a supposed eruption in the Whetstone Mountains, and found that there was no volcanic eruption there, though signs of an upheaval and mountain slides from earthquake were abundant. The brilliant illumination of the sky and clouds, and the smoke which hovered over the mountain peaks, were caused by forest tires, which they traced to the carelessness of some Mexican campers who camped on the mountain peaks Monday night. This report effectually explodes the volcanic sensation among the people of Benson. Shdcks of earthquake continue here. No damage has been done, but they cause great consternation among the people.

DWIGHT L. MOODY.

&is Four Months’ Incessant War Upon Sin in Wicked Chicago. A Brief bat Interesting Sketch of the World-Famous Evangelist. .. [Chicago special.) After four months of incessant labor, Chicago’s honored evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, has brought his mission to a close in this city. None but those who have watched the evangelistic services closely can form any conception of the immense amount of labor he has accomplished. Day after day, and week after week, he has sacrificed comfort, and even health itself, in the effort to accomplish one great and noble object—to proclaim the glad tidings of salvation to the people, and seek to win souls to Christ. On Jan. 2he preached at the First Congregational Church for the first time in the campaign against sin and the devil, and in a few days his audiences grew so large that the church would not contain them. Equal to the emergency, he at once held services in the afternoon for the church-workers and those who could attend in the day, and in the evening for those whose business occupied their attention during the day. Still his congregations increased, nnd from all parts of the city there came to him the cry, “Come and help ns.” He at once called to his assistance Evangelist Bliss, of Boston, and the churches at once threw open their doors for tte work. Ministers of the various denominations united, the Chicago Evangelization Society was inaugurated, and a carefully considered, systematic warfare organized. After being here a month, Mr. Moody determined to call to his assistance Francis Murphy, the well-known apostle of temperance. Feb. 8 Mr. Murphy delivered his first address at Farwell Hall. From that time until the present gospel temperance has been in the ascendant. Thousands nightly flocked to hear Murphy, and hundreds daily signed the pledge nnd donned the blue ribbon, until the gospel temperance armv now numbers over 3.7,000. ' Dwight Lyman Moody. D. L. Moody was bom near Northfield, Mass., Feb. 3, 1837. When the boy was four years of age his father died, leaving the care and support of a large family to

young Moody’s mother, a most estimable lady of the tlnitarian faith, to whose influence and superior traits many of the strong elements of Mr. Moody’s character and work are confessedly due. In 1854 he sought employment in a Boston shoe store, and in the following year came to Chicago, to enter a similar business situation. In both of these cities his earnest impulsiveness to do good became a marked feature of his daily life. The excellent ministrations of the churches which he attended confirmed him in his conviction of his life mission, and he resolved to relinquish all business of a personal nature and devote himself to the work of evangelizing. He took an active interest in the Young Men’s Christian Association of Chicago, and established the North Market Mission Sunday-school, since become famous for its success in the conversion of men to religion. In the summer of 1861, says a biographer, he devoted most of his labor to the volunteers of the war of the rebellion who were stationed in Chicago, and in November of that year, when the United States Christian Commission was established, proceeded under its auspices to the camps and battle fields of the South, where he worked, alleviating the sufferings and supplying the spiritual necessities of both friend and foe. In August, 1862, he was married to Miss Emma C, Kevell, of Chicago, by reason of whose sympathy of temper and religious ardor* the union has resulted in great good, not to them alone but to the; world. Mr. Moody has been blessed with two children —a son and a daughter. The duties of the Christian Commission did not prevent him from attending to his Chicago school. A chapel—Farwell Hall —was built to supply its growing needs, and soon out of the organization arose an independent churob, of which Mr. Moody became the pastor. In 1865 he was elected President of the Young Men’s Christian Association., and was incessant and indefatigable in his labors to further its work. Within two years thereafter, chiefly through his influence,-a building, admirably adapted to its purposes, was erected at a cost of $200,000. In October, 1871, the terrible fire, which devastated Chicago, destroyed Mr. Moody’s home. Farwell Hall, and his church; but within a month thereafter the latter was North Side Tabernacle, and capable of holding 1,500 persons. Here his labors, aided by the musical abilities of Mr. Sankey, continued through several years, until the summer of 1873, when he visited England, accompanied by Mr, Sankey. Since that time Mr. Moody has been untiring in his good work. He iB one of the most resolute and successful of evangelists.

Koscoe Cosklisg iB famous for his sarcasm. —Gn onh occasion somebody showed him a savage criticism in Harper’s We*k',y, writtenbv George William Curtis. Mr. Conkling read it with much care. Then gently putting; the paper down he said: “Did Miss Arimintha write that? Well, that is very good for Miss Arimintha. She writes quite well” Brows says that the best way to retain a young lady’s affections is net to return them.

THE HAYMARKET HORROR.

One Year Has Passed Since the Bomb Did Its Bloody Work. List of the Brave Officers Who Laid Dowu Their Lives to Throttle Anarchy. rCfcjlcago special.] Thevfirst anniversary of the event which will be known to History as the Haymarket massacre occurred on Wednesday last. The night of May 4, 1886, six companies of police, numbering 175 men, under com- 1 maud of Inspector John Bonfield and Capt. Ward, marched from the Desplaines Street Police Station np Desplaines street to a point a short distance north of Randolph street, and there halted. A socialists’ meeting was in progress on the street, and several fire-eating anarchists were doing their utmost to incite the people to a - riot. Capt. Ward formally ordered the crowd “in the name of the people of the State of Illinois to quietly aud peaceably disperse.” Samuel Fielden, the anarchist who was then making a speech, replied, “We are peaceable,” and at the same instant a dynnmite bomb was thrown into the ranks of the police. Instanjtly upon the explosion of the bomb, and before the police force had a chance to rally, a fusillade of revolver shots was poured into ihe police from both sides of the street. The police immediately rallied and returned the fire, and the mob fled with the police in hot pursuit. When of battle had cleared, away the ground was found to be covered with wounded and dying policemen, stricken down by the deadly bomb. One officer died almost immediately and sixtysix others were wounded, six of whom died within the next week or two from the effect of their wounds. There was also one civilian found killed on the spot and about twenty others wounded, but as the wounded socialists were mostly hidden away, the total casualties resulting from the battle will never be known. At least twelve, and probably over twenty, lives were lost, and over 100 people seriously injured. Following are tte names of the policemen injured, classified as fatally injured, permanently disabled, and seriously disabled, still unfit for duty. FATALLY INJURED—7. Mathias J. Began, Michael Sheehan, George Miller. Nels Hansen, John J. Barrett, \ Thomas Redden, Timothy Flavihan j PERMANENTLY DISABLED—II. Michael O’Brien, Lawrence J.

But though the bomb did all the work expected of it, the results were not what the anarchists anticipated. The police, instead of running away, rallied and charged the mob, and drove the conspirators to their holes, utterly routing them at the first onset. Numerous arrests followed, and the whole conspiracy was laid bare. June 21 eight of the leading conspirators—Spies, Parsons, Fischer, Engel, Lingg, Schwab, Fielden, and Neebe—were placed on trial before Judge Gary, and the next twentyone days w'ere consumed in securing: a jury. The details of the trial are fresh in the minds of all. it lasted' about two months, and resulted in a verdict condemning seven of the prisoners todeath, and the eighth, Neebe, to fifteen years’ penal servitude. Motions in supEort of a new trial have since been argued efore the State Supreme Court, and the case is still pending. The decision of the Supreme Court is not expected until September, and the general impression of all who heard the arguments at Ottawa was that the motions will be refused. That verdict was the death-blow to anarchy in this country. It is a warning that anarchy has no resting-place here, and that Johann Most and all his criminal associates and befooled followers the moment they begin to put their theories into effect stand beneath the shadow of the gallows.

WORK AND WORKERS.

Items of Interest for Employers and Employed. The rush of immigration from abroad has been stimulated by great activity, in railroad building and by the demand for labor in mills, factories and shops of all kinds. Mechanical labor is coming over in abundance, while comparatively few miners are changing their abode. The inducements to miners of Europe or Great Britain to change their homes is not so strong as to workmen in other branches. Common labor has extraordinary inducements offered. Tlrere will be railroad mileage laid this year double that of last year. House building will be at least 25 per cent, greater. Shop labor of all kinds is in demand, and there is therefore an opportunity for a great influx of common labor. Even in the lumber camps in the Northwest men are paid from $1.75 to $2 per day, but they are skilled woodsmen. Mining labor is wanted in the gold and silver mines all along the Rocky Mountain range, from Northern Montana to the City of Mexico. Manufacturers of mining machinery in St. Louis, Chicago and New York have •lately received orders for an unusually large quantity of special machinery, and a long list of mining companies have recently announced themselves, to operate all through the mineral regions from the lakes down into Mexico. One company has been organized with a capital of $12,000,000, two in St. Louis with a capital of $5,000,000, one in Chicago witfi $5,000,000, to say nothing of the long string of smaller companies, all of which seem to be well backed with capital and prepared to enter upon active work. Ai the spring meetings. ...of the Western.. lumber men the opinions were generally expressed that prices for lumber must be stronger under the extraordinary Eastern and Western demand. Stocks,in all sections of tHe country are shown to be much lower than a year ago. The decrease in six Western lumber States is given at 928,982,891 feet. In , Minnesota there is a decrease of 100,000,000 feet. Some people in Chicago are trying to moke out that cotton and woolen goods can be manufactured there as cheaply as in Fall River, Providence, or Philadelphia, or any other textile center. The machinery, they say, can be made there, land is cheap, and from whatever standpoint the subject is viewed it is claimed the advantages are in favor of the West. Business men in the far West are not paying much attention to their former Eastern sources of supply. New ones are springing up nearer, where purchases are more conveniently made, and where exchanges can 1% effected if goods prove unsatisfactory.
