Biggect Lake Steamer Launched. Jerome Candidate For Governor. At 7:32 o'clock last Thursday even ing Valparaiso experienced an earth quake of great severity and during that night 82 shocks were fel. Most of tho buildings of the city were either ruined or damaged. The loss will ba enormous, probahly reach ing $250,000,000. Two thousand persons killed la con sidered to bo a fair estimate of the cusualtlcs. Vina del Mur (threo miles from Val paraiso and having a population of over 10,000), Quhihue (225 miles to the southward with a population of 2.500), Salto Limache (15 miles to the northwest with a population of 0,500), Qulllota (25 miles to the northwest with a population of 10,000) and vil lages all around were destroyed. Most of the damage was due to fire which started Immediately after the first shock. The whole population is Bleeping In the hills, the parks or the streets. Food is very scarce. Milk costs two Chll'an dollars a litre and It is nlmost Impossible to obtain meat, even at high prices. The railroads are all destroyed. Rain, which began to fall immediately after tho first shock, stopped an hour afterwards. Tho nights are very cold and windy and the people sleeping in the open are suffering greatly. The captain of a steamship which has arrived from San Francisco says that the situation here Is worse than that following the disaster at San Francisco. Collector Murray Not Guilty.' Fred O. Murray of Buffalo was ac quitted on Thursday of the charge of grand larceny In connection with whut has been known as the grave yard scandal. Murray was tried on an Indictment charging the larceny of $29,304 on June 11, 1901. After the prosecution had closed its case, and before the defense opened. Justice Sutherland directed the Jury to glvo a verdict of acquittal, saying there was no proof that Murray had a guilty knowledge of the transactions of which he was charged with being an accomplice. Murray was county treasurer at the time John W. Neff was county auditor. Neft has been convicted of grand lar ceny for connection with the same af fair, and is now under sentence. He is out on a certificate of reasonable doubt pending an appeal. Murray Is now collector of the port of Buffalo. He has been under sus pension since the Indictment was found against him. Bounties on Marriages. Swift & Co., meat packers of Chicago, have offered a sliding scale of wedding presents from $50 to $200 to all men In their employ who will marry. The reasons advanced by the company for the increased value of benedicts are: A married man can be depended on better than an unmarried man. He has Increased domestic responsi bilities and takes his work more seri ously. He places his work higher in Im portance than does the youth whose brain is filled with thoughts of gliis and light social affairs. He Is not as extravagant and flighty, hence can be trusted In financial mat ters to a greater extent than the sin gle man. The larger a man's family the more faithful ho Is to his work, his responsi bility being such that he works more energetically for increased wages. Price of Silver 66.62 Cents Per Ounce. Pursuant to the announcement of tho secretary of the treasury on Aug. 1st that he desired to receive ten ders of silver four bids were made to Director Roberts of the mint last Wednesday. The bids were opened and after being submitted to Secretary Shaw, It was announced that the gov ernment had purchased 50,000 ounces of silver, 939 line, at CC.C2 cents per onnce. It Is not the custom of the treasury to announce tho name of tho individual or corporation through whom tho silver is obtained and hence no name of the successful bidder can be given. It Is the expectation that the government will require from 50,000 to 100,000 ounces of silver per week lor an Indefinite length of time. It is (ho purpose therefore of Secretary Shaw and Director Roberts to receive bids on Wednesday of each week here after until further notice. Cannon's Presidential Boom.

COTTON STILL If) LEAD. Iron and Steel Exports Rose to Third Place. Refined Mineral Oil Drops From Thlrc to Fifth In the List Displaced b) Copper Exports of Agricultural Im plements Five Time? Greater Thai In 1896. Washington, Aug. 21. A special re port from the bureau of statistics o) the department of commerce and laboi shows some notable facts In connec tlon with the doubling of exports of do mestlc merchandise In the last 1( years.
