The worst earthquake southern California has known dn years caused much dam age last night in . the northern part of this county, from Lompoc to Santa Maria. The first shock was felt a few minutes past 11 o'clock, the vibrations continuing for several minutes. Shortly afterward there were' If dis tinct shocks. In the Careaga oil fields large fissures were cut in the earth. Two tanks containing 3000 barrels of oil each were dashed into splinters, oil flooding the section. Nearly all of the surface pipe lines used for conveying oil and water for several miles were twist ed or broken in such a manner that the renewal will be necessary. At Los Alamos residences were razed, while in the business places windows were broken and goods on the shelves thrown on the floor. Lompoc, several miles to the south west, shared badly. The city is with out water, as the mains are broken. The Santa Ynez river, which in summer is usually' a small stream, (but in winter is a torrent, was dry yesterday. To day water is rushing over-the river bed as in a freshet. There is no explana tion of this remarkable phenomenon. THE SAD SUICIDE OF DR. EUGENE GRISSOM MELANCHOLY HISTORY O.F A MAN WHO WAS ONCE PROMI- . NENT IN THIS STATE. Special to the Gazette. Raleigh, N. C., July 28. Dr. Eugene Orissom, -who committed suicide in Washington; on Sunday, was -well known throughout North Carolina, hav ing been for many years Superintend ent of the insane asylum. Under his management the institution became one of the best known, in the country and Dr. Grissom was recognized as a lead authority in that Ibranch of science. Though a republican he held the posi tion through successive democratic ad ministrations but finally went out un der a cloud, being charged with im moral Jbnduct. The proof was not sat isfying but support -was withdrawn and he was virtually forced to resign to save reputation of the institution. Many be lieved then and since that there was no real ground for charges . Dr. Grissom was a native of Green ville county . During the war he rep resented the county in the legislature. He had not lived in Raleigh since his retirement from the state hospital but lived several years in Denver and later with his son in Washington. For some years, broken in mind and body, having become adicted to the morphine halbit. he spoke of returning to Oxford to practice medicine, but it was only a day dream of a diseased mind. His death is deplored by a large circle of friends. , He had no enemies, or if he had, they Wre few, and their enmity not remembered. . MIAMI'S JUBILEE Miami, Fla.,July 28.

When some men get into the public eye they afford the public about as much-pleasure as a cinder would in a similar position.

Work was begun today on the main building of the Methodist orphanage. The trustees and a few others visited the grounds lo cated the site and threw the first dirt.

Foreigners are without protection and are in danger. The gunboat Machias,, whis was order ed to proceed from Colon to this port, has not arrived.
