A Church Collapsed and Three Hundred People Killed—The Indiana Squabble Revived—Other Items of Current Interest. More Earthquakes. Associated Press. London, February 24.—At Genoa a shock of very violent earthquake is reported and many houses seriously damaged. At Formosa a crowd had gathered at the Carlo Felice theatre to witness a gala performance. There was great alarm when the shock came. At Turin the churches suffered severely. In the neighborhood of Dordegira many houses fell killing the inmates. At Nice the earthquake shocks caused an awful surprise to crowds of maskers returning home from the carnival festivals in fancy costumes, worn and bedrabled by the night’s exercises, looking dull and dreary under the glare of the early morning sunlight. The first shock ereated an immediate panic. The women screamed and theu there was a wild rush in all directions for safety from falling walls, and the one thought was of the terrible and awful impending calamity. Barking dogs and clanging church bells added to the momentary terror. People rushed to the church of Notre Dame and besieged the confessional. The dramatic scene was presented of many strong men on their knees praying; then came a second short tremor, and terror was depicted on every face, while the praying crowd hastened outside for safety. Several slight shocks were felt in Rome, but no damage was done. At Leghorn the earthquake [had a strong undulatory movement, accompanied by an underground rumbling, and lasted twelve seconds. At Genoa, Turin and Milan the effects were similar; at Lucia the shock lasted forty seconds, and at Genoa one minute, and created great excitement but as far as ascertained no damage was caused. A dispatch from Nice says : Although the earthquake was much less serious in France than in Italy, the panic was excessive. The people, depressed by carnival dissipations, paint the event in the darkest colors. Exorbitant rates were charged for all conveyances. Nobody dared to sleep in a house; wagons, carriages, ships’ cabins and all available conveniences were seized at high prices. The streets were filled with people carrying bedding; visitors deserted the hotels and sat in long rows in chairs in the streets. There are rumors of enormous damage in the mountains, caused by avalanches set in motion by the shock. Horses were restless and refused to move hours before the event. Though there has been no further shock at Nice, the panic has not yet subsided. Fugitives are fleeing in every direction; people are afraid to reenter the houses and hotels, and last evening the heights back of the city were crowded with refugees. Two thousand English, American and Russian visitors were camped out during the night on elevated ground. Six thousand persons have left the city and started for Paris. [A son of Albert N. Hathaway, American consul at Nice, was seriously injured. Two sharp shocks were felt in Corsica. It is reported several persons were killed at Mentone, where St. Michael’s church was badly damaged and the post office wrecked. The most startling news comes from Genesea Riviera. Over 1,500 people were killed in that district. At the village of Bajarado, which is situated at the top of a hill, a number of the inhabitants took refuge in a church, when the shocks were first felt. A subsequent and greater shock demolished the church, and 300 people wl\p were in it were l killed. The destruction of property in the sections of Italy visited by the earthquake is immense and widespread. Another shock was felt at Mentone today, so severe that the houses were shaken, but one injured. A Bishop’s Remonstrance. Associated Press. Baltimore, February 24.—Bishop Paret, of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Maryland, has addressed a remonstrance to the Rev. C. Abraith Perry, rector of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, against the use of incense and the wearing of the cape, a vestment only used in the Roman Catholic Church. Recently Mr. Perry, or “Father Perry,” as he is called by the congregation, had a celebration, lasting several days, in his church in honor of the feast of the purification of the Blessed Virgin. The attention of the bishop was called to the matter. He not only remonstrated with Mr. Perry, but it is stated, has requested a positive pledge that the practices complained of shall be discontinued. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin is connected as a mission with Mount Calvary Protestant Episcopal church, the services in which are of the highest ritual. The clergy of this church have had several spicy discussions with the standing committee of the diocese and the former bishop, in reference to their advanced ritualistic practices. Another Democrat Goes In. Associated Press. COLUMBUS, February 24.—More than a year ago Gottlieb Hess made application to be appointed postmaster at Andersonville, Ross county, Ohio. Hess heard nothing from the postoffice department at Washington, and gave up all hope of getting the appointment, and John Bridges, republican, held on to the office. Soon after making his application Mr. Hess began to receive letters from different firms wanting to sell him postoffice fixtures. This he could not understand, and thought it was a joke. Yesterday the republican postmaster’s clerk brought Hess p letter and laid it on the counter in his store. It was from the postoffice department at Washington, and wanted to know why he had not filled out and'returned the bond sent him last April. The truth then dawned on Hess. He had been appointed postmaster nearly a year ago. Hess immediately notified the department, and Postmaster Inspector Holmes has been detailed to investigate. Cattle Losses in Montanna. Associs. ted Press. St. Paul, Minn, February 24.—Stewart L. Monroe, assistant general freight agent of the Northern Pacific, yesterday received a letter from President Broyan of the Stock Growers’ association of Montana, in which he says: “I find the outlook bad enough, but hardly so bad as reported. Should the cold weather continue very much longer, the losses might reach even the estimate. I have estimates of 25 per cent, losses up to the time of gathering next spring.” Inspector Barney, under date of February 18th, writes from Billings: There is a loss in cattle among the older and weaker she stock, but nothing like what the croakers claim. Twenty percent, is a full estimate of the loss on native stock, and 30 on Texans of last fall’s drive. Sale of Lookout Mountain. Associated Press. Chattanooga, February 24.—The sale of Lookout Mountain was consummated today, the price paid being $260, 000. The sale embraces 700 acres of •land on the top of the mountain, including the historic point. The property was purchased by a syndicate of gentlemen with ample means, who will erect at once a handsome hotel at a cost ol $100,000, and will organize a railroad company to run a broad gauge railroad to the summit. Engineers will be employed to survey the route, and it is intended to run a Pullman sleeper to the summit of the mountain by July :. Among the projectors of the scheme are: John P. Richardson, the merchant prince of New Orleans; Charles Lyerly, a prominent banker of Meridian, Miss., and local capitalists. Atlanta’s Enterprise. Associated Press. Atlanta, February 24.—The city council by a vote of 10 to 1, has directed the finance company to sell 600 shares of Atlanta gas stock, or so much thereof as necessary to raise $15,000, to be expended in the erection of suitable buildings on the grounds of the Gentlemen’s Driving Park Association, to be used for the holding of the yearly fairs made under the auspices of the Piedmont Fair Association, which has been organized by prominent citizens of this place for the holding of fairs in North Georgia, because the State Agricultural Society refused the other day to allow state fairs to be held in Atlanta instead of Macon. The buildings are to be the property of the city, but are to be kept in a state of repair by the Piedmont Fair Association. A Singular Claim. Associated Press_ Washington, February 24—A resident ot Chicago has filed a claim at the treasury department for the redemption of a $1,000 United States bond, which he says he swallowed in order to prevent its falling into the hands of burglars. It appears that while he was examining the bond in his room at a late hour in the night he heard a noise in the passage which he supposed was made by thieves, and, acting on the impulse of the moment, he chewed the bond into a pulp and swallowed it. It was afterward discovered that there were no grounds for his alarm. He now appeals to the government to make good his loss. The first comptroller has thq claim under consideration. Forced Into the German Army. Associated Press. Springfield, 111., February 23.—Senator Stephenson, of Shelbyville, is preparing papers which he will forward to Secretary of State Bayard, calling his attention to the arrest by the German government of Richard Reabecker, a citizen of Strasburg, Shelby county. Reabecker is a naturalized citizen of the United States, and resided in Shelby county for some years. In December he started for Germany on a visit, arriving in that country Jan. 6, 1886. Three days later he was arrested and compelled to enter the German army, and is still held a prisoner subject to military service. Italian Politics Associated Press. Rome, February 24.—Signor Depretis tried to found a coalition ministry without help from the chiefs of the different groups. The result was shown in remonstrances, which convinced him it is useless to hope for a majority in the chamber. His resignation leaves the situation most complicated. Signor Biancheri has been summoned by the king. Washington Notes. Associated Press. Washington, February 24.—A caucus will be held today by republican senators for the purpose of electing a president pro tempore to succeed Senator Sherman, who has resigned. Senator Sherman’s friends are disposing of a rumor that he expects reelection to the position next winter, by saying that he positively does not desire it, and would not accept it. If Senator Edmunds were not ineligible on the same grounds that Mr. Sherman is, viz he enters upon a new term on the 14th of March when congress adjourns, it is believed that he wouid be selected. It is stated that Senators Sherman and Edmunds desire the election of Senator Hoar, but that the younger senators have determined upon Senator Ingalls, and it is likely that he will be elected. There is at least a possibility that friends of Senators Hoar and Ingalls will join in urging Senator Allison, of Iowa, to take the position of presiding officer. Later—The senate caucus of republicans nominated Senator Ingalls for president of the senate. Twentyeight votes were cast, of which Ingalls got 18, Hoar 8,, and Edmunds and Frye one each. Mrs. Pavey, widow of Dr. Pavey, who was a member of the late arctic expedition to Lady Franklin Bay, appeared before the senate committee on military atfairs yesterday to oppose the pending nomination of Captain Greeley to be chief signal dfficer. She requested the committee to defer action on the nomination till Saturday, when she proposed to submit certain documents in opposition to the confirmation. Lively Indiana Politics. Associated Press. Indianapolis, February 24.—When the senate met this morning Col. Robertson attempted to take the president’s chair, but was prevented by the doorkeeper. Col. Robertson stated to the senate that he had been elected lieutenant governor and demanded his seat. The point of order was raised that none but a member of the senate could address the senate. This was sustained and Chairman Smith ordered the doorkeeper to remove Robertson. This was done, and there was great excitement among Robertson’s friends. Johnson, of Wayne, denounced the door keeper and during the melee which followed he struck McDonald in the face who was trying to interrupt him. In the house, the speaker refused to recognize the clerk of the senate until that body had become “constitutionally organized” by the presence ofRobertson in the chair. The Dillon Trial. Associated Press. Dublin, February 24.—On the resumption this morning of the trial of Dil Ion, O’Brian and others for connection with the plan of campaign, Judge Murphy continued his charge to the jury. He said if the jury believed the .traversers had united in misleading the people to the extent alleged, then the traversers had acted unlawfully. After a short abserice from the court room, the jury returned and reported they were not able to agree upon a verdict. The Bulgarian Question. Associated Press. Constantinople, February 24. — GadOar Pasha, special agent of the porte in Bulgaria, who has been here on leave of absence it is said, after amending the ministerial commission of the Bulgarian question informed the grand vizier the only solution of the problem is Russian occupation of Bulgaria and Turkish occupation of eastern Roumelia.

The jury, after hearing all the evidence, returned a verdict of guilty, and ordered him sold to the highest binder, at public auction, for a period of seventyfive days. This is the first case of the kind in. this county for a great many years. Much interest was manifested. Frenchmen Well Satisfied. Associated Press, Paris, February 24.—The success of the antiGermans in Alsace caused a feeling of the deepest emotion here, though littleMisplay of exultation is made. The newspapers of this city are jubilant over the result. They say that Germany will not be able to obtain the confidence of the inhabitants of the annexed provinces. ___ An Earthquake Prophecy. Associated Press Berlin, February 24.— Tl.e papers call attention to the fact that several days agff there was published a statement that the annular eclipse of the sun in the southern hemisphere would be accompanied by extremely strong seismic phenomena, owing to the coincident influence ot the sun and moon on the earth.

Hinchman Nominated by the Young Men’s Reform Club. A large number of voters of the first ward assembled at the city hall last night, pursuant to a call of the committee from the Young Men’s Reform Club. Dr. W. R. Clifton was called to the chair and John M. Connor was chosen secretary. The meeting being opened for business, Judge N. W. Battle took the floor, and stated in very plain words his views on city matters, and urged upon the meeting the importance of nominating an alderman to carry out the desires of the Young Men’s Reform club. The judge said the council had done very little toward opening up streets and alleys, and that they had paid out considerable money for the Telford pavement, which he considered almost worthless. He wanted to see streets opened on both sides of the Brazos; make a good contract for water works, but do not do it hastily; let the contract be published so the people can see what they have to pay for. He did not think all the bonds should be placed in the first ward, but favored strict legislation on this question. Mr. Joe W. Taylor offered the following resolutions, and spoke in favor of them: Resolved, That it is the sense of the citizens of the First ward: 1. That the streets and alleys of the city ought to be opened without delay, and that the city council should take immediate steps to open all streets pointing toward the river. 2. That the city should have an efficient system of water works, adequate to all present and future use; but we believe no contract should be made with any individual or individuals without taking lull time for consideration, and without previous public notice. 3. That we are opposed to fostering and permitting bawds and bawdy houses upon the streets and public grounds of the city, and we are especially opposed to the dedication of the first ward to such unlawful purposes, and we demand of our representatives in this ward to lose no opportunity to advocate these views in the city council. Robert J. Goode, spoke in favor of the resolutions,* which were unanimously adopted, and the city papers are requested to publish them. The name of Major A. Hinchman was placed before the meeting and unanimously endorsed as the choice fer candidate for alderman of the first ward. THE STATE CAPITAL. Outline of Yesterday’s Legislation in the Senate and House. Austin, February 23.—Senator Gregg, for the committee on internal improvements, reported favorably, to require railroads to have openings and crossings in fences along their right of way; unfavorably, to reduce telephone rates; favorably, making it a felony fo r railroads to enter into pools; favorably, to compel railroads and other corporations to maintain their principal offices in this state. The railroad commission bill was again taken up and after amendments in some of its features, it went over to come up again tomorrow. The house resumed the consideration of the railway commission bill, the question being the adoption of the substitute, which was discussed by Messrs. Showalter, Tate, Richardson and Roberson. Mr. Tate presented a lengthy report of the visiting committee to the penitentiaries. It recommends an appropriation of $25,000 for artesian wells at the Rusk penitentiary, and the same amount for purchasing timber lands for making charcoal for the penitentiary furnace; a like amount for supplying sugarmaking machinery for the state farm in Fort Bend county, and $50,000 for buying timber and other material for making wagons and furniture in the penitentiaries. The committee to investigate the condition of the drouth district today made public, through the governor, the foliowing: “In addition to the funds necessary tor provisions, there is very urgent need for seeds to secure crops this year, and the committee therefore appeals to the liberally disposed people of the state to raise at once a fund to procure seed for the farmers, and the committee will see that the seed are properly distributed.” Seed or money can be sent to the governor at Austin. The Champion Egg Eater. John Beauchamp, a big negro of Louisville, bet that he could eat sixty eggs in as many minutes. The wager was accepted, and the other morning he appeared with five dozen eggs and a skillet, and the match began. He cooked the eggs himself, and ate twentyseven in six minutes. The remaining thirtythree disappeared more slowly, but none were left when time was called. The eater could hardly speak when he had finished, and had to be helped to his feet. The Tariff Question in Arkansas. In the Arkansas Legislatnre: Mender from Whitfe Oak Fork—“Mr. Speaker, you, sir, have doubtless read something concerning the tariff. Sir, I am opposed to all kinds of oppression, and I therefore move yon, sir, that we abolish the tariff.” Speaker—“That power belongs exclusiveiy to Congress.” “And hasn’t the State of Arkansaw got anything to do with it?” “No.” “Then, sir, I was laboring under a misapprehension. As I arose to make a motion, I will withdraw my tariff motion and move sir, that we adjourn till 1 o’clock.”
