CASUALTIES.

E. Thorp, cashier of the McLean County National Bank, ot Bloomington, 111., fell on a sidewalk and fractured an arm. The Mono county, N<>vadn. marble quarry, was completely destroyed by a reeen! earthquake. The marble was broken up into cubes not over a foot square. The ledge was over five miles long and four hundred feet wide and contained a fine grade-of marble, having over seventy shades, from pure white to black. The mine was valued at $1,030,000. By an explosion of gas in mine No. 4, of the Sosquehanna Coal Company, near Nanticoke, Pa., four men were killed and four seriously injured. The gas was set On fire by powder. A special from Sedalia, Mo., reports a disastrous freight wreck on the Missouri Pacific near that place. Eighteen cars were burned and the loss will exceed $50,000. The remains of ten children were ex- ; burned at Philadelphia. It is alleged they were poisoned by eating buns colored with “confectioners' yellow,” and a chemical analysis is to be made. The bakers who sold the buns plead innocence. A tree was blown down by a storm at Fairplay, Texas, crushing a dwelling, killing Mrs. Albert Tite and her two children. At Havre de Grace, Md., two trains collided, killing one man instantly, and fatally injuring several others. Stephen. B. Elkins and Judge Bradley, of the United States Supreme Cpurt, were among the passengers, but escaped.
