T lings That Do Happen—A Complete Record of Interesting Events the World Over — Shocking Accidents, Startling ; Crimes, Oilier Topics. / > RUIN IN COSTA RICA. pities, Towns and Villages Wrecked by Violent Shocks of Earthquake. A Panama special says: “Advies from Costa Rica give details of the terrible earthquake of Dec. 29 and 30. The ^first shock was felt at San Jose at 8 ^o’clock in the evening, and this was followed at 11 o'clock by a much stronger shock. At 4:20 a. m. a movement occurred which was more than a simple earthquake. The editices which suffered most in San Jose were the Cathedral, the Carmen and Merced Churches, Presidential Palace, Artillery Barracks, National Palace, Central Barracks, the •National Pri ding Offices, and the Union Bank. Not a single house escaped injury, while many are not safe to live in and others are completely wrecked. Who e streets are blocked with ruins. Losses in San Jose amount to moie than §2,000,000, while all the principal edith es in Alajuela are damaged. At La Laguna the earth h^s assumed the appearance of a rough sea. The father of u family and four of hi- \ buried toge ber, while the motßSi" and her young ch.ld were thrown by the motion of the eaith a distance of 1,000 metres, although she declares she believes the eaiih swallowed her and then ' ejected her wh*e she was found. Here the h Ils have changed their position and the ground is full of cracks. Since the first shocks a number of smaller ones have been experienced, but they have done no fuithor damage. On Dec. 11l the Irizu^ volcano was in eruption, imd the people in Cartago were still in a SrMoOr ^jarrn.” “BIG FOUR” COMPETITORS^ Montana Cattle-Growers ,tp Establish^eef Warehouses on the Manitoba Railroad.

Confirmations by the Senate—A New NaturalfJ' ization Bill. Mr. RVarts made a spaech in the Senate on the 13th inet., in support of his resolution instructing the Committee on Elections to revise the laws governing Congressional elections. The Senate confirmed the nominations of Norman J. Colman or Missouri to be Secretary or Agriculture, and Ira *u. Kratz of Indianapolis to be Register of the Land Otuce, North Yakima. W. T. The House, atter one of the liveliest debates of the session, setiled'the South Carolina contest case by giving iho^eai to Elliott, the sittm.,member. The minority report, seating Smails, was rejected by a p Tty vote of 126 io 143, except that Messrs. WiiSun fMinn.) and Russell (Mass.) voted with toe Republica s. The majority report was adopted without a division. The House JudiJ&i'y Committee reported favorably a bnl io amend the na uralization laws.

Buds and blooms on peach trees in Delaware, caused by the mild weather, have been killed by the cold snap. A. S. Gookin, Cashier of the Manhattan Elevated Railroad Company, left his post in New Y’ork £ity, and it is thought , that he has sought a quiet home in Canada. The Company loses about §70,000 by Mr. Gookin’s departure,it is said. Gook- ■ iu did not appear at his desk as usual, i and an examination of his books made at once showed him to be a defaulter for an ) amount in excess of $50,000. Gook n kept । four different pay-rolls, and the method | he employed to swindle the firm was cred-’ iting sums of money to names of fictitious persons represented on the books as em- j ployes. The length of time during which | he was engaged in the systematic swindle ' is a matter of conjecture, but it is thought • that it did not cover a very long period. The coal-dealers of Philadelphia are reported to have been much surprised when A. Pardee & Co. announced a reduction of 25 cents per ton in Lehigh coal.

Corle A Son, Kansas- City, did .damage to the extent of <$30,000; fully insured. Doctors i^e puzzled dybr the case of J the wife of Gloin, contractor and builder at Mulberry Corners, Geauga County, Ohi(i who apparently died the other night. »After having beA tai l out > she revived toward morning, tanked to her husband, and seemed rational. She appeared all right until about noon the next day, when she again dropped dead. A duel at short range took place at Grant City; Mo., between Rollo Walton, a young desperado of 21, and City Marshal J. C. Baldridge. Walton had threatened to kill the Marshal, and when the latter j met him in a barroom they opened fire j simultaneously. Walton was k lied and i D. A. Martin, a bystander, was shot so seriously in the arm that the limb had to I be amputated. The Marshal was not in- I j tired. Gibson A. Condie, a wealthy Mormon, leaped from a rapidly moving Union Pacific passenger train between W^ber and j JB^terson. Utah, receiving fatal* injuries. I vandie was insane and had beea suffering | frJm dementia from a peculiar occurrence I of'several weeks ago. ’The man had three I wives anil lived happily until a dash- j ing braklman appeared on the scene ana engaged in a llirtat ion with Condie’s | harem. The husband objected, but was I suppressed by the' women.■ The brake- j man had th? audacity to elope with all । three wives, but abandoned feyo and is j now in Washington Tteiritory with the i yoiingest and prettiest. Tin? other two returned, but were set adrift by Condie. Cordie has seven children on his hands, butlthey and his property will I>a eated forLy the church. TpE gcntilj- were successful in the mujkipal election at Ogden, Utah, for the Erst time iu the history of that city and in the Territory. There was great re- j joicing and the city was wild with excite- j merit. The gentile majority was 439. F. [ G. Kiesel, an old resident of Ogdeu, was ! elected Mayor. While skating near 1 eavenwortb, Kan., Edwin Pioree and Susie B. \nthony, niece of the famous suffragist, Susan B. Anthony, were drowned. "Not guilty” was the verdict returned in the Brown poisoning case at Mason City, lowa. When the announcement was made the defendant betrayed no emotion whatever. Not even a traca of satisfaction could be depicted on her countenance. Her husband, however, rushed frantically forward, and, throwing his arms about his wife, kissed her sever,d times. The couple j received the congratulations of their relatives, counsel, and a number of jurymen. ! On the first ballot tho jury stood two for conviction. It is now probable that de- j fendant will soon apply for a divorce and । : the custody of her remaining child. Fire at Indianapolis destroyed Hutch- i ner A Higgin^,^ elevator. The loss is ' $60,000, with insurance of §35,000. , SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. ’’ The murderfof>»D. W. McKenuon, a । wealthy farmer ^ Chattahoochee County. ! Georgia, by Jessv^’ilkinson, has ’a sensational feature Kgliind it. Wilkinson had been paying his addresses to a yotrfig lady who lives near McKeiuion, and had asked her hand in maiaiage. She consulted 1 McKennon, as a family friend, and was j advised to have nothing to do v i h the young man. B^. some means Wil- | kinson learned of tki? advice and sowed vengeance. McKenfen rode by Wilkinson’s house, when t^re latter immediately armed himself rs^th his six-shooter, mounted his horse ^hd started off'in hot chase of McKenn®; Overtaking him, he emptied five b®rels hito McKennon s body, killing him? ftr Lis saddle. The horse started off in fright and threw his dead rider into the ^itch. The bullets all entered McKennonss back, showing that j he was shot down-*fnam the rear. Great ; excitement was caused. A man supposed to be Talcott, the murderer of the Chicago millionaire, Snell, kept Lewis and Upshur counties, West Virginia, in a tumult of excitement for some days. If it was hot Taseott it was his ghost, for he answers every description of the murderer In a conversation in a hotel at Buckhannon relative to the murder of Snell he became much excited. He aroused the suspicions of Detective Watson, a member qf the Government Secret Service, who was in Weston looking up some violations of the pension laws, and who observed him at midnight sneak from his room at the hotel and make a hasty retreat toward Lorentz, a small town south of Buekhmuon. He boarded a train bound for Weston and arrived there only, to find that his presence in that section was the talk of the town. He suddenly disappeared, and no doubt went to the interior of the St ite. At Buckhannon he registered tho name of H. M. Rowley. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Gen. Hunt, the Governor of the Soldiers’ Home iu Washington. D. C., died of heart failure at his residence in the grounds of that institution. He had been critically ill for several weeks. There was probably no officer in tho United St ites army who was ‘more popular with both officers and men than Gen. Hunt. He was regarded as one of the most brilliant soldiers of the day, and his record during the Mexican war and the rebellion entitled him, in the opinion of foreign military men, as well as those of our own country, to the first rank among artillerists. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Governor Francis of Missouri has appointed John H. Overall and Charles H. Turner Police Commissioners of St. Louis, to succeed Frank Gaienuie and 0. P. Gooding. Scott Ray, the Independent Democratic candidate for Senator in the Shelbyville (Ind.) District, has withdrawn from the race. Gov. Eagle, of Arkansas, has signed the bill authorizing him to offer $5,000 for the apprehension of the murderer of John M. Clajton. It has been decided in the Circuit Court at Louisville, Ky., that the Wallace election law, as applied to the city of Louisville, is constitutional. It is .reported from St. Louis that Mr. Jehu Baker, who was contesting the seat i

-^ 1 from the Eighteenth Illinois Congression- » al District with the Hta. W. S. FormanJ has conceded Forman’syelection and hf^. withdrawn from the contest. - President Cleveland has nominal ted Adlai E. Stevensoi, of Illinois, no^ : 1 Assistant Postmaster j^eneral, to be Associate .lustiie of the Supreme Couit^pf the District of Columbia-, ftnd Norman J. Colman, of Missouri, to be Secretary of Agriculture. -jt The Reptiblicans of the Fourth Missouri ! District have nominated Capt. Francis AL aj^rsegate, of St. Joseph, to fill the vacancy in the Fiftieth and Fifty-first Congresses caused by the death oLthe Hon. James M. Burnes. Col. Jr di an Alm|n says that Mr. Blaine told him that itAew days after the election President-ele>t*Harrison had offered him (Blaine) theuppsition of Secretary of State, and that he at once accepted ; it-' I Tax-payers of l^ode Island have pre- : seated a petition tot|hb Legislature stating that they feel that the proposed prohibition amendmer^ will be injurious to । business interests.M.nd asking that it be । killed. It is reported tjtat in the local option 1 election held at Janson, Miss., the Prohibitionists wore (Weated. At an election in Nevada a constitu- ' tional amendment empowering the Legislature to establish lotteries was adopted. ACROSS THE OCEAN. Eight workmen were killed near Halle, Germany, by a passing train. A Zanzibar dispatch reports (hat Herr Tuppen has proclaimed the Lamu Islands i a German possession. Gen. Salamanca has been appointed 1 Captain General of Cuba. I Bishop Spalding, of Peoria. 111., has arrived at the City of Mexico. The Neue. Freie Presue of Vienna publishes a letter from Sir Arthur Sullivan ; piotestiug against the piracy of his operas I by theatrical managers of that city. I The mutilated body of a woman was I ■ found concealed in a wooden che-t by the I police at Dundee, Scotland. A postmortem examination showed that the | woman hid first been strangled, and her ' body had then been mutilated, the nbdo j men being ripped open, and the legs ' and arms twisted and broken. The j' victim's husband, W. H. Bury, a re-idant j ।of Whitechapel, London, was arrested i on suspicion and (onlessed the crime. ' He says that he and bis wife drank heavily ’ before retiring, and that he do s not know ; how he got to bed. Upon awakening, he i says,Tie found bis wife lying upon tho । floor With a rope around her neck. ; Actuated by a sudden mad impulse, ; for vthich he cannot account, he i seized' a knife and slashed the body. ; i Upon reason returning he became alarmed | and hastily crushed the body into the i chest in wnich it was found, thinking to | i tiee amt make his escape. The theory of the pol ce otticinli is that Bury’s wife knew of facts connecting him with the . East End atrocities, and that she took him ' to Duaflee in the hope of preventing a re- I cnrrenei of the crimes. FRESH AND NEWSY. It is given out at Indianapolis, Ind., j that a friend of John E. Sullivan, the ab scouding Comity Clerk, received a letter i from that individual, dated Montreal, wherein he tells of his safe arrival in Can- ; ada, and remarks that he is enjoying him- | i self.

G. Dun A Co. say: i The average prices of commodities took a turn | | upward last week ; Ilie advance was about ohe per cent. A change for the better in this respect is usually a. favorable indication for the j future, but in tills instance the temporary influ- ' enco of a change of weather must be remem- i bered. The speculative markets were mixed, ■ I some weaker and others stronger. I’ork de- j | dined 50 cents per barrel, lard n fraction, and ; Ilogs 15 cents per 1.0 ponds, and these I movementswi.ro in accord with n decline of : cent in corn and 1 cent in oats. But wheat mlvaneedcl; cents, with reports of a stronger feeling from the X\ e.-t. Ibe iron trade is thought by some to have touched bottom. No change i appears in rails. Goal is pheuomi nallv dull, and many collieries are stopping. The mines at Pittsburgh have resumed, and tho coke strike | has been abandoned. In minor metals there is i little change, but the syndicate's stock of for- j eign copper increased 4,: ; 00 tons in January. 'llie noteworthy feature iu repor s from interior towns is that ail record some j compla nt as to collections; one city re- I ports "no Improvementanother "rather ] i poor,” and another "somewhat dull or decidedly । I slow.’’ Tho stock market has been stronger, | with an advance of about per share. A gen- ■ eral change in tone has come, for the final deci- | Sion of Judge Brewer, adverse to the lowa rail- ( roads, is of consequence not only to them but j to others which have hoped that the principles ; of his earlier decision would shield them against i State enactments. Business failures numbered ; in the United States 273; Canada, 30; total, 303, as compared with 332 the previous week. At Minneapolis Andrew P. Nelson, of Winnipeg, shot his wife I ecituse she refused to return home with him, and then shot himself. Both will recover.

f Spare the Baby. Another thing that should be avoided | in all kinds of weather is tile practice of holding the baby too much, Not 1 only does the baby form the bad habit of wanting to be held all the time, but the constant contact with bodies of other peoj lo is not good for it. The, subtle force called magnetism, vital | current, etc., cannot be explained, but ; does exist, and the stronger will take it away from the weaker. Wash and dress and feed the baby and put it upon a soft pallet on the floor and let it roll and kick and rest and grow fat and healthy and strong. When your friends come in tell them “hands off.” Do not permit either kissing or fondling. The baby does not relish indiscriminate kissing and hugging any more than we do. Insist upon the baby having regular hours for sleeping', and as much as possible have it go to sleep without rocking. The hardest work in the world is taking care of a baby. There is no exception to this assertion. Only those ( who have experienced it can under- 1 stand tho long, weary days, the wakeful ; nights, the drain upon the physical, | the nervous and mental strength, the । tax upon one’s patience and amiability ' and cheerfulness. (Inly mothers can ( know and appreciate the labor of moth- i ers. With a kind husband, a healthy ; baby and plenty of assistance it is arduous and unremitting toil. When any of these is wanting, by so much is the mother’s task increased. Where one mother neglects or abuses her children ; there are hundreds who, through their ; devotion ami zeal, do more for their ' welfare than is really necessary. In the rearing of children, as in every calling, we need above all else the “saving grace of common sense.” Who shall say where the line must be drawn between ministering as far as needful to their comfort and happiness and the making of ourselves a needless sacrifice ? When the heart is in the work we never stop to ask this question.— , hla Harper, in Fireman's ne.

A correspondent has been studying s the house of a muskrat, by demolishing the domicile and examining the architecture and contents. The hous? was more than two feet wide and h gh, i oval at the top, and built of grass, leaves, and moss, and vi ry compact. ’ There was a communication with the : stream, the roor' and neat being just ! above tne wiuex level. The door j o| ened just beneath the surface, so i that the animal could leave home and return without being seen. Lily root i was the only provision there seemed to be in the house, of which there was ! quite a quantity for future me.

Sufferers are scarcely aware that Catarrh is due to the presence of microbes in the I mucous membrane lining the nose and throat. After - one or two simple inhalations the microscope will ■ show in the catarrhal mucus dead forms of tampan asites which, before the inhalations, were seen to be alive and active. They can only exist injueinbranes that are below the healthy standard. It is for the want of tbe understanding of these facts thatthecure I of Catarrh is made difficult. For a permanent cure it is necessary not only to kill the germ tint also to - strengthen the membrane. This is accomplished by , the electric force stored up iu the Magnetic Coil, being the most powerful natural tonic to the weakened tissues.
