A Hillside With One Hundred Thousand People Moves Six Inches. Mriwavxes, Wis., Sept. 24.—The startling in- formation was made public yesterday that a great catastrophe during the national excamp- ricnt was averted by a mere chance. The slop- ing hillside at Junua park, where 100,000 people were seated on the night of the sham naval battle, was moved six inches. Had it not been for the stone road bed of the railway at the foot of the hill the whole side of the bluff would have oes off into the lake, carrying the people with it, The ground at the bottom of the hill is bulged and at the top there is a deep fissure where tne sodand earth have been torn apart.

Steven Heaton, an American railroad contrac- tor now in this city from Colima, has been an eye-witness to the late eruption of the voleano of Colima, which is 30 miles porth of the city of the same name. This volcauo has its crater at an elevation of 12,000 feet above the sea-level and is very active, intermittently throwing u; @ column of smoke and red-hot ashes hundre of feet in the air. These spasmodic eruptions occur about ten or twelve times a day, and are followed by reports similar to ‘the dis- charge of artillery. A few days be- fore the earthquake last month the vol- cano vomited forth a dense black smoke that hung like a pall over the country for miles around. This phenomenon lasted for several days and was accompanied at intervals by showers of red-hot ashes, which descended upon its side. It is not known whether or not any lava being thrown out, asthe red-hot ashes makes investigation impossible, At night CREDIT, EXACTING A TRIFLING SUM AS EARNEST OF THE BARGAIN AND ACCEPTING THE BALANCE IN PARTIAL PAYMENTS BY THE WEEK OR MONTH IN SATISFACTION OF THE DEBT.

New Yous, Sept. 24—The stock market this morning, as far as the general list is con- cerned, showed even a greater degree of stag- nation than on any previous day for weeks, while the only relief from the monotony was afforded by the activity and sharp movements of Northern Pacifle preferred and sugar trust. Louisvilie and Nashville was also specially active, but its movements were confined to the same narrow range as those of the remainder of the list. First prices, as compared with the final figures of yesterday, were steady, being either unchanged ‘or but slight fractions different. Sugar trusts, however, became very active immediately and the weakness of yesterday was renewed, and after opening at 101% it quickly dropped to 100 against 1025, last evening. The stocks of the regular list sympathized somewhat and prices where there were any dealings shaded off slightly. Northern Pacific preferred, however, soon developed marked strength, rising 3 to 75%, though a portion of the improvement was ‘wrward lost. Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western also rose a like amount to 95%. The market became extremely dull even for the leading stocks late in the hour and the weak- ness was resumed, sugar further retiring to ; and Louisville and Nashville and New Eng- land displayed special weakness, At 11 elock the market was again active and weak at the lowest prices. ———.- Excitement in the Sugar Market.

IVES APPEARED UNUSUALLY NERVOUS. His mouth twitched and very frequently he closed his eyes for short periods. He was ill at ease and followed Col. Fellows with his eye ag the ittorney made pi for his speech, district attorney lost no time. After a w preliminary remarks he sailed in for the defendant's counsel, whom he charged had trom tho beginning deliber- mn Oo: bontd, from the main question, he said, charged Henry 8, i ig 6,000 sbares of stock of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad on June 21, 1886, without authority and with intent to defraud. The transaction took Crea in New York and any- thing that took place in Brooklyn had nothing to do with it, COL. FELLOWS GETS A SET BACK. Atthis point and just as the colonel was launching out into » most dramatic speech, he received a set back which for the moment knocked all the drama _outof him and made him forget his part. Crouching down he was right before the jury, and raising both hands over his head he began to recede slowly while he asked in thunder tones what evidence the defense produced to offset what the prosecution presented. To the astonish- ment of all the fourth juror answered the question pretty quickly by sayin, We have not answered yet, but we will.” Col, Fellows’ hands fell to his side. For the instant he was nonplussed. He had evident lost his tempor, for, looking the jur: fi in the face, he retorted by sayin; q want NO COMMENT FROM THE JURY AT THE PRESENT TmME.” ‘Tho speaker then dwelt at some length on the testimony of Short, who had been con- nected with the road for forty-six years, and whose testimony was wholly reliable. It was shown that to suit the Ives fac- tion he had to take a back seat and fill a minor office. Referring to Woodruff, Col. Fellows said that only a har,a forger anda thief could be connected with Mr. Ives, The ae were compelled to use such witnesses in a case like the present one. Ives had to use such a willing tool as Woodruff and discharged a trusted official in order to make a place for Woodruff, At1:15 o'clock Col. Fellows’ voice began to fail him and he appealed to the recorder for a recess, Half an hour was allowed. It is ex- pected that the trial will be completed today. oes FORTY-EIGHT VICTIMS. That Number of Bodies Recovered from the Land Slide Ruins. Quexro, Sept. 24.—At 9 o'clock this morning the laborers at work at the ruins caused by the recent landslide heard a slight moan under a heap of wreckage and, digging vigorously, soon reached Joseph Kemp. When extricated, Kemp, who is seventy-two years of age, was still able to speak, after hav- ing been buried 108 hours, Father McCarthy administered the sacrament to the apparently dying man, Kemp answering to tho prayers, Stimulants were administered and hopes are now entertained that Kemp will recover. INTENSE EXCITEMENT PREVAILS and the full force of city and river police have hard work to keep back the anxious crowd. Shortly after Kemp was taken out the corpse of Mrs, O'Dowd, aged seventy-two years was Focovered. The body was badly mutilated. ra, O'Dowd "was rocking = aw cradle and — knitting a __ stocking when the avalanche of rock came down. She was knocked through a window and _ killed, When found her bands still held her knitting work, It is expected that more bodies will be found shortly.

He Is Still Hopeful That France Will Soon Call For Him. Lonpox, Sept. 24.—Gen. Boulanger bears up with remarkable serenity under the disappoint- ment of his hopes for the result of Sunday's elections, He is still hopeful despite the large majority against him in the chamber of depeties, and declares that he has not lost faith in the future, The government overy- where stole votes like ravens he asserts and their majority is thus easily accounted for. He predicts that the majority will prove unman- ageable aud that France will soon be calling for Boulanger. —— THE PENNSYLVANIA LEAGUE. Great Enthusiasm Manifested in the Convention at Pittsburg. Prrtssure, Pa., Sept. 24.—The convention of the state republican league clubs assembled in historic Lafayette hall, this city, at 11 o’clock this morning. The convention hall was a bower of beauty in its decorations, There is a large attendance and many con- spicuous republicans from various parts of the te are present, When President Edwin 8, Stewart of Philadelphia called the convention o.der he was enthusiastically greeted, President Stewart announced that he would deliver no speech and ordered the calling of the roll. A committee of ten on resolutions was eppointed by the chair and there wasa perfect stream of them handed up. They were read by title and referred to the committee, without debate. Some of the titles read were: “Legislation,” “The Australian System of Voting,” “Thanking Governor Beaver,” “En- dorsement of H. K. Boyer as Candidate for State Treasurer” and “ in In_relation to civil service reform Hon, J. W.

Bartrmonz, Sept. 24.—The hog cholera in Kent county is rapidly spreading and unless some active step is taken by the authorities the disease will create untold havoc among the swine in southern Maryland. Kent county has suffered heavily; about two hundred hogs have ust been lost and more will surely follow. Farmers are seriously to blame for much of this trouble, because they persist in throwing the dead carcasses into the woods or streams, The losses aggregate a fairly astounding amount of money every year. ‘Two officers left last night for Queen Anne's county town (Centerville) to inform themselves about two serious outbreaks there.

In one case the charge was dismissed and in the other a fine of $5 was imposed. Mr. Waters inquired of the court where he could get his horse. Mr. Key said that the horse was abandoned as the man did not call for it and the police sent it to the pound, Judge Miller said that the horse was not abandoned and the pound was not the proper place for it. Mr. Waters, he said, was entitled to the return of the animal and without paying for It. Agent Key said that he would give Mr. Waters anote to the pound master for the horse. The animal in question was taken yesterday morning by Agent Key, who took it to the nint! precinct station. There is no provision made there for the feeding of animals, and it was kept there until this morning without being given any food, This morning the horse was fed at the sixth precinct station and was after- ward sent to the pound. —— Two Children Dead from Diphtheria.

Crcaco, Sept. 24.—A special dispatch from St, Louis says: Congressmen Springer of Illi- nois, Baker of New York, Mansur of Missouri, and Allen of Mississippi arrived from the Indian territory last night. Besides the above named there were in the party Congressmen Perkins and Peters and Rogers of Kansas, They are unanimously of the opinion that the Chero- kee patent to the strip is only an easement, and by no means @ fee simple, They my ‘that the Cherokees have abandoned it by turn- ing it over to cattle syndicates, and that consequently it must and will re- vert to the government. One of the earliest duties of Congress, they aay, will be to open it to white settlement. A discussion of the Cherokee strip question with the Cherokees at Vinita proved conclusively that they have no intention of parting with the strip voluntarily, The committee favors action upon the Okla- homa territorial government matter as soon as Congress shall meet. They want the home- alone to have a title after eighteen months’ settlement instead of five years, as at present required. The passage of the old pre-emption law will also be recommended. The committee believes that the cities and towns should be secured in their titles to city lots as soon as possible; that other towns outside of Oklaho- ma, such as Muskogee and Purcell, should be given town site privileges and that the citizens should be allowed to negotiate for city lots and hold them in,fee simple. Mr. Springer said that this matter would receive his earliest attention. In conclusion, the delegation is of opinion that the opening of millions of acres of land next spring, the building of the rail- roads now in contemplation, and the civilizing influences of the whites will make of the In- dian territory a grand state of the Union at no distant date.
