The Ueceut Earthquake in Japan Rendered 200,000 Homeless. THOUSANDS OP LIVES ARE LOST. Cities and Temples Are Demolished bj llie Shocks or Burned. EXTSCIE.NCE OP TRAIN PASSENGERS YOKOnAMA, Xov. O. A severe, pro longed s-hoek of cartbquake occurred Octo lier 2S, a fen" minutes before 7 o'clock in the moraine. It was the severest experienced since the terrible catastrophe of 1So5, and must be ranked as a national calamity. The greatest dr mage to building and los3 of life occurred in the prefectures of Gifu and Achy, in which nearly 4,000 people were killed outright and 4,000 seriously wounded. In those two prefectures 42,000 houses were totally destroyed. The number of provinces throughout which, the disturbances were stroucly felt is 3L The center seems to have been in Mino and Arowa, but even as far south as Higo 3nd Eikushu in the north the disturbance was sensibly felt. The destruction of 40,000 houses means ih.it 200,000 people are rendered homeless. Up to Xovember 5 the earthquakes still continued to be felt, but with intervals be tween them. The intensity of the shocks gradually diminished. Over One Shock Every Two Minutes. From the commencement of the disturb ance up to that date it is estimated that fi.COO shocks, or more than one every two minutes, were felt. The town of Gifu, on the Tokaido llailway, with a population of 15,000, was almost entirely destroyed. Thirty-five hundred out of a total of 4,400 houses in the town were overthrown or burned. Seven hundred and forty-five peo ple were killed in the town of Kano, where 000 houses were overthrown. One hundred people were killed in the town of Ocaki and 3,500 houses were overthrown. Two thousand houses burned and 700 people were killed in another place. "Many sur vivors were so terror-stricken that they could only stand vacantly btaring at the icene of destruction. At lnchoynama and Kyoseu the people have managed to save a few mats and were preparing to pass the night in the open fields. The villages were a waste of fallen houses which the flames were rapidlv de vouring. Throughout the day and night the work of carrying the wounded to Ifsuroya proceeded. The shocks or the Verticil KictL The inhabitants of the ruined towns de scribe the shock as conveying an impression that the houses were first raised and then suddenlv lowered through a space of from two to three feet. The fact that there was a marked sub sidence of the earth's surface for a consid erable area about Gifu, indicated that the latter town was the center of disturbance. Shortly after the shock had leveled thou sands of houses in the town, and hundreds of people were lying buried in the debris, flames burst from the ruins of a silk factory and in a short time spread to such an extent that citizens were compelled to desist in their work of digging out the wounded and dying. This conflagration burned out in one direction, but three other fires imme diately broke out, and, joining into one, swept "from street to street, being fanned by a strong northwest wind, which began to blow at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. By 8 in he evening almost every part of the town oi Gifu was wrapped in fire, and the inhab itims, abandoning all hope of staying the flames, saved what few articles they were able and fled the town, taking refuge in the woods and on hillsides.. students and Convicts righting Tire. The police, aided by normal school stu dents and SO prisoners from the jail, fought fire throughout the night, but it was not sub dued until the lorenoon ot October 2a, when it had been burning for 28 hours, and almost the whole town had been burned over. Potteries in the prefectures of Owari and Mino, great centers of the porcelain manu facture in Japan, at Scto and other towns, were almost entirely destroyed, and there is reported to be no prospect of resuming the industry during the present year. The top of the scared mountain of Fusi yarna has been rent asnnder for 1,200 feet m width and 600 feet in depth. 3Iuch of the destruction of houses is attributed to poor material entering into the construction of brick and stone buildings, and the excessive weight ot their roofs. Well-built wooden buildings suffered but little, except as to plastering and tiled roofs. Up and down trains on the Tokaido Rail way were just meeting at Gifu station, the center of the seismic disturbance, when the first shock occurred. The shock was ac companied by a rumbling and the move ment was so violent that the passengers slipped from the seats ai.d were thrown into a stale of great alarm, believing that a col lision had taken place. I-arsro rs-ures Opening and Closing. Trom the windows, however, tiiey beheld the station in ruins, and the water in a neighboring pond being dashed violently from side to side. The rumbling movement continued, and large cracks irom two to three feet wide were observed opening and closing in all directions, volcanic mud and ashes being throw n from some of them. So numerous were these fissures that to step in any direction threatened destruction, and the passenccrs dared not to leave the train. Passengers who made their way into Gifu found immense heaps of ruins of fallen houses, while others were so dislocated that each succeeding tremor threw some of them doun, as if crushed by a descending weight. In almost every house some unfortunates had been buried, and their chances of escape were greatly diminished by fires which broke out in many places. It was ascertained that the railway line had been too much damaged in both direc tions to allow of further progress of trains, and the passengers, accordingly, were com pelled to make their way on foot to neigh boring towns. The roads were almost im passible by reason of fissures and landslides, aud no conveyances were to be had. Other Cities Found in Bains. Proceeding from Gifu to Kano, the latter place was found wholly in ruins. Uot a houe remained upright. The town of Kas nrnatsu fared like ICano, every dwelling be ing a mass of debris. Everywhere surviv ors were found to be digging" out dead and woui.de'land fightins against conflagrations that br-il.e otit on all sides. The shock ex perienced at Ocoki was .fo severe that sc-ircel a sound house was left standing, except the castle, v. hich, despite its 400 j ear?, stood the shock remarkably well. Gobo temple, belonging to the Shin Sen Society of Buddhists, was crowded with worshippers, it being the anniversarv of the deatli of Shirran, the founder of the sect. The temple fell, burying at least 50 people. The ruins took fire and the shrieking vic tims were consumed before the eyes of the iiorrificd onlookers. The town of Isagerio escaped lightly in comparison with the region west of there, embracing Gifu, Cgaka and ICicto. Slight f-hoeks were felt at Nagerio on the night of October 2j. On Wednesday morning 40 Christians were assembled "in one of the buildings of the Methodist Protestant school. The sound of distant rumbling arose, the building began to totter and the w orshipers fled to the door. One Christian and his wife were killed bv falling bricks, and two Japanese were badly injured. Blockaded With Itnins and Fugitives. Many streets were blockaded with fallen louses and others were choked with people rushing to and fro. The chimneys of the Xormal School went crushing through the roof and the building presented the appear ance of having been abindoned. The upper story of the postoffice was ruined and the railway station was destroyed. The Cwari Thread factory's large brick building crashed in, killing hundreds of people. The loss ot life in the three towns which go to make up the city of Kagova, is variously estimated at from 750 to 1,000. As the wounded were brought into the city from the surrounding towns, reports con tinued to come of lives lost and damage done. Fissures opened two feet wide and several deep, railway rails were twisted, iron bridges broken." river embankments sunk and fields flooi' ' A lake COO yards lo g and CO yards -wide was formed at the ic of llakusan Mount ain, in Gifu prefecture. Gogcn hill and several other hills in Gifu gave way and water sprang from the cracks in the ground. Water in wells was changed to a brownish color and rendered unfit for drinking. Klver.jembankments Must Be Itebnilt. Tiie embankments of the Angara, Kiso, Shouai, Gojo and Kiko rivers were broken, and it is estimated that about one-half of the 350 miles of embankment damaged in Gifu prefecture will have to be relrailt. The general appearance of Mizushin? divi sion of Motosu district underwent a com plete transformation, and at Xogo in Ono district, a n-.nrked subsidence of the earth's surface had taken place throughout an area of 24 miles in diameter. The bed of the river Keo, in the vicinity of Mizutoinur, was raised about six feet, and the rumbling of the mountain in that 'vicinity was heard at different intervals. Out of 700 temples in Gifn prefecture, more than one-third are totally destroyed. Any thins: like a heavy rainfall "would cause nearly the whole ot Gifu to be flooded, and many months would be required to repair the embankments. In some parts of town boiling mud spouted out of the fissures to a height of ten feet A majority of these gey sers continued spouting for over two hours. DEFORMED IN BODY ASD CHASACTEE, X Desperate Kentuckian AVinds Up a Spree 'With an Attempted Snicido. Cykthiaka, Ky., Xov. 23. William Kimbrough is the wayward son of the late C B. Kimbrough and a good Christian mother. Owing to a terrible deformity his father lavishly humored him, but at his death, last August, left his entire estate, hich was considerable, to his wife. Since then William has been very sober and in dustrious,and it was hoped he had reformed. However, hehasnot. Yesterday afternoon, after coming to town and filling up, he re turned home and asked for money, and when it was refused him proceeded to break up the furniture, and drawing a pistol, threatened to kill his mother and brother-in-law, William Cunniniham. who lives with Mrs. Kimbrough. He then ran out and set fire to the barn and afterward the house. The brother-in-law in the mean time came to town and swore out a warrant, which Shcrlfi Leach served upon the recre ant as soon as he could reach his home, a mile from town. Kimbrough was promptly brought here and jailed. This morning about 10 o'clock Bennett, a Erisoner confined for attempted bank rcb ery, discovered young Kimbrough hang ingfrom the roof of his cell by a rope made of bed clothes. He gae the alarm, and and the suspended man was cut down, and after some time resuscitated. Kimbrough is the hero of many escapades. He once took a pair of horses to St. Louis, sold them, and had a high old time, spending the entire proceeds of the sale, some 1,500. Ho also attempted suicide over a year ago bv hanging in his father's barn, but was discovered in time by his mother. He is connected with the best people here, and his father was one of the most estimable men in the community. William received a classical education at Eminence, near Louisville, where he figured in many scrapes. A PEIESI LOSES AN INHEEITANCE. The Decision of a Suit for $7,500 in a Court in llarrislmr;j. HAKEISBUKG, Xov. 23. By a decision in the courts here Father M. J. McBride, a Catholic priest, is cut off from an inheri tance of ?7,500. One year ago Bobcrt Bren nan died in this city, and, a few hours be fore his death, signed a will bequeathing his entire estate to Father McBride. Will iam and Richard Brennan, of Buffalo, nephews of the dead man, and his only rel ati cs, contested the will on the ground of undue influence. It was brought out in the case that Father McBride refused to administer the last rites of the church to Brennan until ho signed the will. Brennan was about 82 years old. After the will was signed the last rites of the church were ad ministered. Father McBride used to be Vicar General of the Harrisburg Diocese, embracing a large territory in Central Pennsylvania.and was a candidate for Bishop two years ago. When he was Vicar General of the diocese he was suspended for alleged cause and Father McGovern, of Danville, was ap pointed Bishop by the Pope. He removed McBride, who is now in charge of a small parish at Bonneville, Md. DEATH IN THE WATER, Dr. Winslow Says the Allegheny Kiver Is Toluted by retroleum. Dr. W. H. Winslow, the Penn avenue physician, has written an open letter in which he alleges that much of the sickness in the two cities is caused by the water used which is poisoned by petroleum from the oil refineries above the water works pumping station. Dr. Winslow advises the drinking of beer, milk or wine in preference to what he terms the poisoned water. He con cludes his letter as follows: "Indians poison springs for their enemies. This is the first instance I have known of white men doing it for their friends. Until the water of this city is purged of its impurities, it will not besafe to use it for household purposes, there will be the same mysterious symp toms of illness, and the death rate will be large." Health Superintendent Baker says Dr. Winslow exaggerates. He contends that Pittsburg has the best drinking water of any interior city in the country. California Iair Apxiropriatlon O. K. Sacramento, Xov. 23. The State Su preme Court to-day rendered a decision de claring the law appropriating 300,000 for a California exhibit at the World's Fair valid.
