EARTHQUAKE. Subterranean Shocks and a Terrible | Calamity in Mexico. The City of Guadalajara Vis- ited Severely. Alarm and Awe anda Town in Ruins. Seventy Persons Killed and a Large Number Wounded. é GuaDALasaBa, Mexico, Feb. 20, 1875, On Friday, the 11th of February, at Nalfpast Sight o'clock P. M., a very severe shaking was {elt im this capital (Guadalajara), accompanied by a strange sabterranean sound. The phenomenon was so marked that it seemed as if the great terraqueous mass was about to pass from under our feet, and for the moment the falling in of every roof was expected. In four minotes after the shaking was repeated with equal force and with the most tremendous noises, whereupon the Amazement and alarm had no limit. The public squares and every place where it was thougnt the failing bouses could not reach were taken poi sion of by the multitude, who were beside them- selves with panic, ATMOSPHERIO INDICATIONTS—GEOLOGICAL FACTS. A few moments before the earthquake the beavens were clouded and the atwosphere hot and suffocating, ali of which tended to nhorrify more and more public imagination. The shakings were of @ tremulous character, terminating in osciilatory movements, and lasted about ten seconds, is PBRVIOUS SHOCKS. There is no doubt that Guadalajara bas never suffered earthquakes as strong as these just passed through, and that fortunately we have not many accidents to lament. THE LOssEs, Nevertheless many buildings have suffered con- sidérable injury, among others the Ins«tuce, toe is of Loreto, la Merced, de Jesus, Liceo and Mexicalcuigo, while an arched roof was cracked open in the Penitentiary, a tower cracked loose belonging to the Cathedral, &c, A ialling stone from the Cathedral destroyed a man’s loot, The theatre of Degollado did not suffler—a proof that tne rumors in regard to its bad construction have no foundation—although the persons who had gone to the theatre to the benefit of Mrs. Leonard ‘were very mucna Irigntened. The whole night was passed in watching, 60 strong was the conviction that the phenomenon would be repeated, THE EXTENT OF fH SUBTERRANEAN CONVULSIONS— FIRST CONSEQUENCES.

The committee in charge were determined that this aifuir should surpass in splendor all its pre- decessors. The frst announcement did not allow oj sufficient time in which to perfect the necessary arrangements, and the distinguished ladies and gentiemen who had become identified with the matter would not risk aJatilure. Some who had volunteered their services in the first burst of enthusiasm found that other demands upon them would preciude the carrying out of their impulse. The undertaxing had to wait, and it has now settled dowb upon a tirm and supstantial basis.

The full Board of Police Commissioners met in the court room at the Central Department at two | o'clock yesterday afternoon to try the case of Captain Killilea, or the Eleventh precinct, charged | with violation of the rules of the department in | levying and receiving monthly stipends of $100 each from Fritz Kasefang, the proprietor of a beer garden in the Twenty-second ward, known as “National Hall.” The specification of the charge | set lorth that tbe sums of money above mentioned were paid to Captain Kilililea on divers days in the years 1870, 1871 and 1872, Counsellors Brooks and Fellows appeared for the dejendant and Chief Clerk Hawley conducted the prosecution. The accused occupied a seat close to bis counsel and preserved a stoical expression of f throughout the trial, listening with apparent equal indifference to the curt, logical and dam- aging presentation of tacts by the prosecution, and the subtle lega! disqusitions, aiming to obtain bis acquittal, on tne part of his attorneys, The court room was fairly filled by spectators, all of whom by their close attention evinced a most lively interest in the proceedings. Chief Cierk Hawley opened the case by stating that the prosecution had no evidence to suomit other thao the aM@iavit oi Kasefang and the sworn | testimony of exX-Sergeant Miller, of the Twenty- second precinct, although it was pis intention to call another witness who had becn subpenaed, but who was not present, and the prosecution would therefore rest its case. Counsellor Fellows then moved to dismiss the case, On the ground of no suificieat proofs to sus tain the charges, Me remioded the Court that at a@previous meeting of the Board Commissioner Disbecker had emphatically and uneqnivocaily denied the truth of a portion of the sworn testi mony of Sergeant Miller, relating to a vonversa- tion that Miller alieged took piace between himseif and Mr. Disbecker. Tne Board would be compelled to disbelieve their associate member, Disbecker, if they gave credence to the statement of Miller, and if they were satisfied that the iatter was un- truthiulin that instance bis turtner and subse- quent .estimony fell to the ground. A man who bad deliberately and wilfully perjurea himself on one cccasion was forever blasted by law from giv- ing t-stimony in court, Even the convicted perjurer, subsequently paidoued by execu- live clemency, Was disquaiified trom giving evidence in actions at jaw, althougn crimi- nals convicted on any other charges were restored by @ pardou to all theie rights and privileges as citizens. Tne Commissioners would bear in mind that ws same Sergeant Miller bad preferred charges against them Jor reiusai on their part to accord to him (Miller) a fair trial on a charge of sojourning in a liquor saloon while on patrol aut, and od Which he was dismissed Irom the lorce. Now, it would not do ior the board to answer those charges by saying that the complainant was not worcuy of bellel tt they accepted as credible his testimony in the preseut case. The counsel took the grouna that Miler had deuberately com. mitted perjury in swearing that Kaselang’s mouey passed through bim to Killilea, There was no evidence before the board, tuerefore, to show that his client hut ever committed any wrong. Chiet Vierk Hawley opposed the motion on the ground that the alleged contict between Commis- sioner Disbecker's statement and the testimony of the witness was on an tmamiuteriai and enurely | rrelevaut point, There was practically nothing 1n it that could in apy Way impeach (be testuumony ol Sergeant Miller. Mr. Brooks followed in a lengthy argument to show thateven if the untruth told by Muller to Mr. Disbecker, In his sworn examinanion by the latter, was irrelevant to the present issue, the fact that he ba lied in any particular was sufll- cient to break down ali tis subsequent testimony. dar. Hawiey responded, denylog the valiaity of } the counsel's Siatement with reference to tne dis- crepancies in Miller’s testimouy bvelore the Com- | tures | missioner, Claiming that there was no discrepancy atall, Myr. Disbecker vad simply cuaracierized as incorrect a Wivial and in-ignificant allegation made by the witness, and {t had no possible rela- tion to the evidence in the present case. Alter some littie discussiou sioners President Matsell stated that tne motion ‘Was denied, anu the delence tvok au excep‘ ion. Now, may it please the Board, satd Counsellor Brooks, [ move to dismiss the case lor want of | jurisdiction. This was & svartling motion, and many of the | spectators turned alm: st pale at the audacity of the lawyer in even intimating the imcompetency of the Bourd to try the case, Mr. Brooks ,went on tu say that the alleged offence was committed, as the speciiication would show, In the years 1870, 1871 and 1872, prior to the existence of the Municipal Board of Police. On April 80, 1873, the Legislature avolished the Metro- pulitan Police of the city of New York and created 1n Ite stead the present Board. Surely the Com- missioners coulda not claim jurisdiction in offences committed beiore the department at ihe head or which they were sprang into being. In trying the present case they would be going entirely beyond their authority. The charter of 1873 created a new department in every sense of the word. Mr. Hawley read trom the statutes to show that the Legisiature conierred upon the Municipal Board o} Police all the duties, powers and obliga- tions of its predecessor, the Board of Metropolitan Police, and consequently the present case was within the jurisdiction of this Buard. Counsellor Feliows, thorougaiy warmed to bis work, deived deep inio the iaw and cited two or three supreme Court decisions, whicl, he con- tended, were applicable to the case of Captain Kiliilea. It was au elementary principle of law | room, ‘We have heard enough of tnis.’? | the counselior proceeding witl#is argument. that statutory jurisdiction should never be im- plied; it must be 8) ecifically set torin in the law. ‘fone counsel did pot deny the ;ower o! the Board to try any offence occurring since the date of their creation, but they were estoppeu from ex post Jacto action, a8 jurisdiction tu the present case would be i they éxercised it. Chief Clerk Hawley read the act creating the present Board, and argued that the position taken by the other side was unsound. Toere could te | po doubt that the present Koard had as much | jurisdicuon in matters happening during the exis- tence of the Metropolitun Board a8 tue successors of the present Commissioners would have in cases occurring now. A little tiff here disturbed the equanimity of the proceedings, Counsellor Fellows rose to reply, when Commissioner Voorhis rather abruptly re- marked, loud enough to be heard all “— P ord rT. Fele lows at once ruilled up, aud curtiy responded that he was not tnrough yet, and tnat every mem- ber of the lorce had the inalienaole right to be heard by counsel. Mr. Voornis retorted sharply, but the matter subsided withous Jurtier parley, AG its conclusion Mr, Hawiey sald that he bad other charges against Captain Killilea, on whicn he was ready to go to trial; but Mr. Brooks Insisted.that | the present case be first disposed oi, Atter con- | siderable discussion the Commissioners there- 5’ upon held a consultation, and Presiaent Matsell stated that the Board overruled the motion to dis- miss for Waut Of jurisdiction, ana would render | its decision tn the case at a future time. The trial of the ovher charges will take place | next Tuesday. THE UNION PACIFIO AND THE GOVERNMENT.
