Armed Tramps.
ST. Loins, May 7.— For some time
past the city of East St. Louis has been
infested with a lot of thieves and idle,
worthless fellows, who spent most of
their time peddlmgsmall articles, which
the police were satisfied were stolen.
The tramps bad a camp in the outskirts
of the city, vnd yesterday Chief of Pol
ice Walsh ordered it to be broken up
and the tramps driven out of town.
Lieutenant Irwin with fifteen officers
went to the camp far the afternoon and
ordered the tramps to disperse and
leave the city. They paid no attention
to the orders, and the police then ad
vanced to arrest them, OtiDg two or
three shots in the air to intimidate
them. To the great surprise of the
police the tramps returned the fire, but
luckily without effect. The police then
charged the camp in force, firing as
they advanced, and the tramps fied in
all directions, some of them plunging
iDto a slough near by and swimming
for tbeit lives. All of them were final
ly got outside of the city limits and
joined another camp where the consoli
dated forces defied the police. The lat
ter having no authority outside the
city made no further efforts to arrest
the fugitives left a strong guard on
the spot to prevent them re-entering the
city. On going over the field again the
police found one of the tramps groan
ing on the ground with a pistol ;ball in
his spine. Hq was taken to the county
hospital jmfr* Will probably die. The
sheriff of the county had been notified
of the congregation of armed tramps in
his territory, but it is not known what
action be will take.
Arizona Shaken Up.
TUSON, May 4.— An earthquake oc
curred st 2.12 yesterday afternoon.
No person was Injured. Considerable
damage was done to buildings, goods
were thrown from shelves of stores
and maDy bouses were more or less
cracked. The shock was acorn pan ied
by a rambling sound. Many clocks
were stopped and yp entire population
of the city took to the streets terror
stricken. The Court House cupola
swayed like the mast of a ship iu a
turbulent sea and the buildiug itself
seemed as though it were toppling over.
When the shock struck Santa Cata
lina Mountain great slicasof the moun
tain were torn from itssideand thrown
to its base. Vasfc clouds of dust arose
aboye the efcfc, 7,000 feet above the
sea three different points from
three to four miles apart. It was be
lieved for some time that a volcano
had burajb Qut ou the crest of the
. mountain. One towering peak, known
as the Castle," a prominent land
mark frfip Tuscon, has entirely disap
peared,. The extent of the damage
cannot be told for several days. This
was ttfe first*earthquake ev<r experi
enced in Tuscon. The public school
building rocked to and fro like a cradle,
and some of jtbe plastering fell creating
the utmost,consternation among the
scholars. The school was at once dis
missed for fear of a repetition of the
shock. Accordiug to a gentleman who
timed it the shock lasted just four
minQtfS. Cue or two slight vibra
tions have since been felt. Shortly af
ter the earthquake it volcano broke out
at a point twenty-two miles south of
this place in tho Total Wreck Moun
tains, Tha sky was brightly illumina

Washington'* Knynl GneM •
WASHINGTON, May 4. Queen Ka
iolana. Princess Lilliuakihtnia, and the
members of their suite called at the
White House at noon,to day and paid
their respects to President and Mrs.
Cleveland. The queen's party was ac
companied by Mr. Carter tho Hawaiian
minister; Mrs. Cirler, Mr. A- S.
Brown, of the state department; Cap
tain Taylor, of the army, and Lieuten
ant Uodgers, of the navy. They were
tnet at the main entrance by Secretary
B.iyanl and Assistant Secretary Adee
and escorted to the blue parlor, where
President and Mrs. Cleveland awaited
them. The room had been decorated
for the occasion with palms, ferns and
fljwers, and the joining parlors were
similarly adorned. Tho queen was
presented to the President and Mrs.
Cleveland Secretary Bayard, and
the other metubeis of the party we:e
presented by the Hawaiian minister.
Thereieptior was rather informal in
character. No speeches were made,
and the visit, which lasted about fif
teen minutes, was devoted to general
conversation The queen was elabor
ately attired in a black satin dress, the
entire front of which was thickly em
broidered In gold. The prinetsi who is
inraouruing, was dressed in plain black.
The gentlemen of the party wore rich
couit costumes, of which gold lace
formed a prominent feature. The rep
aentatives of the army and navy wo re
full dress uniform. The rest wore
plain civillian dress. After the recep
tion the queen and party returned to
their hotel, and devoted tlie afternoon
to receiving official calleis.
WHITE HOUSE MAIL.
Letters from All Sorts of Applicants
for Pension or Place—Epistles of
the Children.
The President's mail,says a Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
IJcraltl, contains an average of from
100 to 150 letters a day from persons
whose claims for pension are pending
before the department. These people
address the Chief Executive in the'be-
Hef, probably, that the Pension Office
is next door to the White House and
that theirs is tiie only letter he may
have received iu a week.
About one-half of these letters ate
sent to Mrs. Cleveland. The writers iu
such cases are usually the wives or
daughters of the petitioners. Some of
them bestow upon Mrs. Cleveland such
titles as "Her Majesty," "Empress"
aud other appellations of royalty.
There are few of the letters that do not
contain some touches of iiuraau nature.
They are evidently written in the sin
cere belief that Mis. Cleveland will as
sist them if her sympathies can be a
roused. With this object in view a
great mass of detail is set forth iu the
communication, which, together with
the obscure chirography and bad spell
ing, make its understandiug a matter
of no incousideruble lime aud labor.
It may be said in tkisconnectioii ttmt
neither the President nor Mrs. Cleve
land is even aware of the existence of
these letters. They are opened by an
unromantic and unsentimental clerk at
the Executive Mansion, from whose
bands they fall iuto the waste basket
and are neyer heard of again.
The women who address Mrs. Cleve
land furnish her with suggestions as to
the better method of presenting their
claim to tne President. One of the
plans which a perusal of the letters
snow that all women hold in common is
for her to wait until Mr. Cleveland has
had his supper and then, when lie is en
joying a quiet smoke in the parlor bring
the matter to his attention. Many of
them tell her that this is the hour of
the day when a man i# most amenable
to argument and that they (the writers)
prefer this as the safest time for pre
senting their own requests.
The applicants for pensions who
write to the President are. as lias been
said, old soldiers, who write in a more
vigorous style than their helpmates and
their language is sometimes of so ro
bust a nature .that it frequently pro
vokes a smile. For example, an Illinois
man who addresses the President iu a
letter, says :
4 The pension officials tell me to get
corroborative evidence from "some ot
my comrades. I want to say to you
that it is a of a hard matter to get
evidence from men who go into an ac
tion and never come out again," and
then he continues by saying that his
company went into the Wilderness a
hundred strong, and at the end of the
seven days' fight there were but nine of
the number who were left to tell the
tale.
Sometimes the letters are written by
children, who begin in this fashion :
"Dear Mrs. President I am a little
girl only ten years of age. My papa
does not know I am writing this letter.
If he did he would not permit it."
Then follows a pathetic tale of want
and misery .touching enougli in its sim
ple style of treatment, but rendered
doubtly so by the fact of the writer's
youth and innocence.
Several months ago one of these
touching missives chanced to reacli tiie
President's eye. Its simple pleading
touched a sympathetic cord in the Pres
ident's heart. The little miss begged
the retention of ber father on the Board
of Medical Examiners in a New Eng
land town in which their home was lo
cated. She said he was very old and
dying of an incurable disease. The jo
--sition paid him a salary of about SI 200
a year, and in view of the fact that he
could no longer practice his profession
the foregoing sum was their only source
of income. The latter concluded na
ivelj in these words :
44 Papa must not kuow about this. It
must be a secret between you and me.
If you decide to keep him mark an X
on the back of the enclosed postal card
and then I will know that you are go
' ing to grant my wish."
The President sent the letter and en
closure to Commissioner of Pensions
Black, with the endorsement :
"If there are no charges against the
examiner in question you will oblige
me by retaining him iu his present po
sition."
General Black investigated the mat
ter, and found that the examiner was
not an old man, but, on the contrary, a
luety young fellow scarcely thirty years
of age, and that so far from having "a
little girl only ten years of age," be
was not even married.
The telegraph after this couldn't car
ry his dismissal quick enough to him,
i and since that time letters from little
girls who write without their papa's
| knowledge are incontinently destroyed.
A CONFROKRATF. CAPTIVK'S AD
VENTURE IN PRISON.
Five Thousand I'rUouor* Trying to
Keep Warm—Digging a Tunnel to
Escape—Why the l'luu Failed.
I made my entry into CampDouglass,
near Chicago, the 3rd day of January,
1863, says "Ex-Itobel" in the Detroit
Free Press, and I may bo pardoned for
the remark that it was a cold day for
uio in more senses than one. Two
weeks previous to my debut in Chicago
society I was in Arkansas, uniformed
in tho Imp-hazard fashion of the Con
federates of that period, and when I
came to bo railroaded up North and
found tho thermometer down to nine
degrees below zero, I could hardly hold
my teeth in my head. There were
about 5,000 prisoners in the stockade,
which was simply a board fence twelve
feet high, and they were provided with
rough shanties and stoves. A North
ern man would have kept comfortably
warm in the quarters, but it was hard
work for the prisoners to keep lingers
and toes away from Jack Frost. In
deed, there were many cases of actual
suffering, though the Federal Govern
ment made the best arrangements pos
sible. The trouble was at the camp
instead of at Washington. After a
certain hour of tho evening all lights
must be out and everybody in bed. and
when the stoves grow cold the frost and
wind drove into the shanties at a huu
dred points.
There were only six of us in the shan
ty to which I was assigned, while some
held eight, ten and twelve. Wo were
within seven feet of the fence, and as
we were all men from one regiment,and
all captured at the same time, we felt
that we could trust each other. The
idea of an escape was broached in Feb
ruary, but it was the lath of April
when tho tirst Veal move was made.
The only show was to tunnel under the
fence and come out by night. 1 here
was a guard stationed on elevated plat
forms about the enclosure by day, and
at night a chain of sentinels walked
regular beats outside the fence. We
calculated on a tunnel not less than
thirty feet long, and it was begun by
taking up some of tho flooring in the
back end of our shanty. Visits of in
spection were held twice pel week, but
there was not a day in which some otli
cial was not liable to come poking n
round.
The floor of our shanty rested on
sleepers clear of the ground. We could
therefore stow away a great deal of the
dirt under the floor. We worked only
at night, and that in reliefs of two. We
first went down four feet, and then
startid off on a straight line for the
fence beyond. We were almost at the
fence before we had to carry any of the
dirt out doors. We managed to scatter
a quantity around our house without
exciting suspicion, and the rest had to
be accumulated during the night and
carried out in our pockets. It was slow
work when we reached that point, and
on two or three different occasions we
came very near being exjuised by offi
cials dropping in on us. There were
several rainy days about the time we
were under the fence, and for a week
our tunnel was full of water. When
that soaked away we wont to work
again, and ou the morning of tho 14th
of May the last man to crawfish out of
the hole reported that our tunnel was
well beyond the sentinel's beat and
ready for the breaking of the crust.
If we had had the making of the
weather, we could not have planned for
a better night. It was dark and misty,
with every chance in our favor. During
the afternoon we drew lots to see who
should go first, and it fell to inc. We
had nothing to pack up, and the whole
six of us had only eighty cents in mon
ey between us. It was planned that
we should separate as soon as clear of
the hole, and each was to take care of
himself as best be could. That was a
long afternoon, I can tell you, and eyen
when it wore away and night came we
had to wait many hours yet. Some
were lor going at 11 and others at 1 o'-
clock, but we finally moved at 11:15.
We fastened the door of the shanty and
crept into the tunnel one after the oth
er, and I was soon at the far end of it
and digging upward. I was hard at
tins work when I felt the ground break
through behind me, someone uttered a
yell, and then came the cry :
"Corporal of the Guard—Post No.
13 1"
This was repeated several time?, and
pretty soon the corporal and a couple
of guards from tho relief arrived. The
sentinel on the beat, who was a big,
heayy man,had broken through into our
tunnel, and in the fall had broken his
leg. While 1 was held prisoner in the
hole, the others crawled back, knowing
that the jig was up. It did not take
the corjioral many minutes to discover
tiie true state of affairs, and then I was
Hauled out by the neck and made the
butt of ridicule. When escorted back
to the shanty, the five men were found
fast "asleep," but were turned out and
sent to the guard-house to keep me com
pany. We were reduced to half rations
for thirty days, but no further punisli
rneut was meted out to us.
"WHAT'S the difference between a
piano and a gun, Charley ?" a9ked a
young wife of her non-inusical hns
band.
"A gun kilU thequickest, that's all"
was the staccato response.
"Will you trust me for a cent's worth
of gum ?" asked the small boy, the top
of whose head was on a level with the
counter.
"Why, yes, I'll trust you. You look
like an honest boy."
"Oh, yes, I'm honest, but you'd bet
ter giye me the cent and let me buy
some candy next door. I prefer candy
to gum."

A Madrid letter to tho Purls Figaro
describes the gurroting of Alvarez Oliva
for tho murder of Juan Xitnenes, u no
tary. Says the writer : The foreigner
who this morning saw the Fnorto del
Sor the first time would have thought
Madrid hud gone wild with noisv mer
riment—just us upon the occasion of
some royal ceremony at the ancient
church of Atitoolm, or of some great

I tiding superb Andalusian horses
with small heads and finely arched
necks—horses that seemed to have step
ped out of some canvas by Velasquez—
the elegaut young men of tho city pass
ed by at a canter, all delicately gloyed
and wearing t tuberoses at their button
holes, as if they were going to tho Ke
tiro to wait for the advent of tho open
carriago of some bel'e.
It was 9 o'clock in the morning when
I left my house. Although the heat
was already overwhelming, I resolved
to go on foot from tho corner of tho
('alio ed Alcala to the placo of execu
tion. The nearer i approached the
square the more compact became the
crowd. To proceed at all soon became
impossible. Tho crowding and .push,
ing, however, only Increased the merri
ment of the mischievous girls of Mad
rid.
Suddenly the crowd halts and a great
silenco falls. A close carriage, with
blinds down, escorted by a picket of
civil guards, slowly passes through the
press. We can follow it without hurry
ing ourselves.
In a little while tho place of execu
tion appears before me, thronged with
a multitude swaying like a tide, and up
from the sea of heads emerges tho
white mast of tho scaffold.
I approach.
Lying upon a stool, covered with a
snow white cloth, is the garrote itself—
shimmering like a crown of steel. In a
little while the executioner will attach
it to a post against which the criminal
is to be fastened. The final prepara
tions consumed considerable time, so
that I was well aide to make a leisure'y
examination of the sinister locality
whither curiosity had drawn me for the
purpose of studying the physiognomy
of the great pushing or fquetzing
crowd. As always, and in all places,
the women were tht most numerous.
The pl.izi where tho execution took
place is on very high ground, and the
pure air one breathes there must in
crease the criminal's regret for life at
the moment when his respiration is a
bout to be cut short forever. The hous
es surrounding it, mostly of humble
aspect, are widely interspaced, Ue
tween them a stranger who loves class
ic landscapes can obtain a good view of
the sunburned and yellow plains of
Nueva Cast ilia and the bluish moun
tains of Guadamara in the hoiizon.
T!ie deploy of military forces about
ihe scaffold was considerable. I count
ed no less than six detachments of diff
erent corps. There were lancers with
Prussian shaped helmets of brass, gen
darmes in black with yellow straps and
belts and white trimmings, blue uni
formed light cavalry, infantry, provin
cial guards with red caps. The mar
tial department of men, nearly all
young, strong and handsome, impress
ed me very much.
Now there is a great movement a
round the scaffold. The soldiers close
their ranks and three men approach the
scaffold. One of thein ascends it. It
is the executioner. lie is thin, low
sized and looks about forty years old.
While waiting for his vieti.n lie keeps
walking nervously to and fio with his
hands behind his back and his head
down. From time to time he stops and
looks at the orgolla (the "garrote")
with a suspicious expression of counte
nance. Perhaps he is afraid of the
power of resistance possessed by the
cervical wrtebia; of Alvarez, and is
therefore afraid of losing his bounty.
Noisy as it was a little while ago, the
crowd now suddenly becomes silent.
Some women are turning pale ; and one
can feel that a nervous excitement
weighs upon the {crowd. A low rum
bling is heard. It is the black carriage
that tiears the condemned man. It
stops at the foot of the scaffold ,* and
the criminal is soon painfully climbing
the twelve high steps of the dismal
scaffold, leaning on the arm of a priest.
Another priest precedes him, lifting
very high an immense crucifix, towuid
which the condemned man strives to
turn his terror-stricken face. Alvarez
Oliva is not yet twenty-five years old ;
and it was believed that the savage en
ergy he had displayed in committing
his ci irne, together with his vigorous
youth, would give him strength to face
death. But nothing of the kind is now
shown bv him ; and really it was too
much to expect of a man who knew his
fate forty-eiglit hours ago. and who,
while listening to the funeral chants in
the prison chapel, must have beheld all
kinds of hideous visions passing be
fore him.
As I stood on an elevation overlook
ing the scaffold, I was able to observe
all the details of the last scene of the
tragedy. The condemned man mechan
ically yielded himself up to the execu
tioner. The latter sat him down at the
foot of the post, with his back to it.and
then tied his hands and feet hard and
fast. lie did all this without hurrying
himself 111 the least, and with all that
dignified indifference which character
izes the Spanish functionary in the dis
charge of his duty. If the preparations
had lasted even a few seconds longer I
believe I should have lost all my power
of self-control. 1 could hear my heart
thumping in my breast, and every mo
ment or two something like a veil came
before my eyes.
You could not hear even a whisper
in the crowd. While one of the priests
pressed a crucifix to the colorless lips
of the sufferer, another was murmuring
words of consolation and hope Into his
ear. But the wretched man was not
listening. His expressionless face had
a waxen pal'or, and his eyes, as they
wandered over the ocean of faces before
hira, already seemed dim with the dim
ness of death.
lie started considerably when the ex
ecutioner placed the iron collar about
Ins nock. and I observed Ins BOttth
contract. Then, however, a white cov
ering thrown over liis features hid them
from furtlter observation. The execu
tioner then gave two or tlirio turns of
the screws connected with the instru
ment of death. The bones of the neck
cracked, a long tremble ran through
tha whole body and the arms twisted
outward. Alvarez was dead.
