Saturday afternoon had been extremely warm in fact, the weather for the last four days had been extraordinarily warm for that region, which generally enjoys a very mild degree of temperature even in summer. Last Saturday afternoon there were sev eral whirlwinds hi the valley and in the city, carrying clouds of dust and fine gravel high in the air. Old citizens, with the memory ot ..vi,iU oor.Knniik in mind, predicted a ! shock, and they are now regarded as prophets. At exactly 50 o'clock there was felt, not only in the city, but in the suburban towns, a violent shaking of the earth, or sort of lift ing motion, which lasted five seconds. Psext , there came, prefaced by a low roar, as from the bowels of the earth, and accompanied by I a stiff breeze, a violent oscillation of the land from e;istXo west, which awoke nearly every one lasting, as it did, thirty-nine seconds. j Houses swayed as if they were ships at sea, ' .,..,1 ....ivaiic oiiamcr fnilll their beds were, in UI1U IA I wuij i -"'"B - many cases, thrown with force to the floor. Bells were rung in the hotels and everwhere doors wereforeed open. Then came another os cillation of much violence proceeding from north to south. During this shock crockery was thrown down and pictures demolished m Then 'ollowed a scene ot William Showers Buries the Bodies of His Grandchildren in the Back-Yard. A dispatch from Reading, Pa. , says : Wil liam Showers, a cigrarmaker agred 59 vears. was arrested at Annville, Lebanon county, Tuesday, charged with murdering his two grandchildren, William and Samuel, aged resiwtivelv three nnH five vpatn The ehil- dred were the illegitimate offspring of I oi. -. ,1 1 J rp l. ouuwBiDh ueceaseu uauguier. ivvo veth.s ago he drove into the mountains with the children in his wagon and returned without them. Their bodies have been found buried in Showers's yard with ropes around their necks. It is said that he was engaged to be married to Elizabeth Sarse. but she insisted that the children should be gotten rid of by placing them in charge of some person. Failing in this it is believed that Showers re sorted to murder.

Reports received by Governor Leballos, ot the Federal District, do not show any tatili tiesasthe result of the earthquake, and the denizens of suburban towns report about the same sensations as were felt by the inhabi tants-of the metropolis. At the ,chooi oi Mines Secretary Ugalde reports that the seis mic instruments showed that a heavy shock had taken place. These instruments are self -registering and prove that the shock ot Saturday morning was a severe one Doors were opened ail t hrough the School of Mines and the night watehnan reported the sway- 1 ing of that enormous building. ! The shock is the topic of conversation everywhere, and the people all have peculiar I experiences to report. In the School 1 of Mines the water in the swimming tank used bv the students noweu out over the courtyard. Clocks everywhere were stopped an 1 there was general conster nation At the office of Governor Ceballos it is reported that the shock was much more severe than that ot l-v-'. The heaviest shock of earthquake of this century occurred in the city of Mexico m 158 when many persons were killed, ine shock, which happened in the night, was tol lowed by a severe one the next day, the peo ple taking refuge in the streets.

A dispatch from Nashville, says: In East Nashville yesterday John C. Bernal. an old man, a painter, and very much addicted to joking, went into a drugstore and going back to w here Geo. Donelsoa, a clerk wr.g putting up medicine, said. "Gerage I'm tired of living, what will kill me?" Donel nii who was measunnsr aconite s.id: "Here's something that will kill you mighty quick aconite if you just drink enough.'' "All right," said Bernal; "get me something to drin .i it out of." Donelson poured out an ounce graduate full and said; "All right here she is." H did not notice Bernal, who took it up and drank it. Donelson, looking up a moment later and seeing the empty glass, said : "My God! Did you drink thatf "Yes " s.'iid Rernal. "Then you'll die,'1 said Donelson and rush ed off .or help. Six or seven physicians were summoned and did all they could,$ut it was to late. Bernal said he had no idea of killing himself and no idea that the glass contained poison. His wife and two grown sons were also called and were with him when he died. Donelson is much depressed and claims that he knew the old man was joking, but thought he would not drink the poison after being told what it was. Bernal was about sixty years old and thought well of by everybody. The other night, as the fast line west was Hearing Kittaning Point, Perm., the wheel of a car on a freight train east burst and the car crushed into two passenger coaches with terrible effect, killing instantly four men and injuring many others.
