We are part and parcel of her, and when she (alls ne we are done. For ages past, that we know of, man bu tried to solve the mystery involved in the question—what causes an earth quake—bat cannot. The Earth has been measured, and all its movements have been studied, and the sea has been sounded. We have mountains several miles above sea level, and the dea *"» holes in it as deep De low; we have dng and drilled some deep holes into it, have discovered and ex plored some great caves, and studied the strata, and yet know little but what is on or near the surface. That the interior of the Earth is a liquid, molten mass is a generally accept ed theory; and that gasses are formed by the introduction into this molten "mass of water or oil or other foreign substances, the accumulations of which shake and crack the surface in an effort to escape is one of the theories ot the cause of earthquakes; and the volcanoes are looked upon as the natural vents for these surplus or accumulated gases. Another theory founded upon the supposed liquidity of the centre is that the vast molten mass is constantly cool ing, and that the Earth's crust (the shell of the egg) is constantly settling to it, and that it is the uneven or irregu lar settling that causes the quake. Such ft theory would explain the existence of the fissures in the Rocky mountains; filled with gold, silver and copper bear ing quartz—the mountains settling ana spreading and the other stuff coming up from below—as the fissues grow wider ns they descend. In all the theories regarding earth quakes, however, we have yet to read or hear one that takes into account the mysterious power called "gravity" which 4iolds the crust of the Earth to gether, and holds everything, including • the air and water, to it. We all know that the magnetic-pole changes, but do not know what does it; and it may bo that this is caused by the shifting of th v molten mass, which at the same time thumps the shell of the Earth and causes the quake—the rais ings and lowerings that wo call earth quake. The whole surface of the globe seems to be subject to earthquakes. In the early part of the past century, or about a hundred years ago, the whole valley of the Mississippi had a severe shock; Lisbon was destroyed 150 years ago, Yeddo in Japan and Pekin in China bare both had their earthquakes, and In parts of northern South America they are frequent. There are no volcanos in North Amer ica, though there are several alleged "extinct volcanos" on the Paeific coast. WASHINGTON NOTES. The debate on the Hepbnrn bill drags its weary way in the Senate. During Senator Follette's speech of last Friday, he asserted that "the rail road officials of the country, with few exceptions, under the statutes are crim inals." THE first elections begin in Russia to morrow. and will continue for several days. THE semi-centennial of the Republi can party will be celebrated in Phila delphia next June by a great gathering. PANAMA is doing better. There are 17,000 men employed on the Canal, and bnt 20 per cent, are sick at the same time. TUESDAY was a great day at Annap olis. The remains of John Paul Jones, recovered from an old cemetery in Paris, were again buried with the proper ceremonies, an event that re called the stormy days of the war for independence. THE new bridge across the Zambesi river, Africa, is the highest in the world. It is of the cantilever style, crosses the river for a distance of 650 feet at a height of 420 feet from the low water level to the rails, or about 380 feet from high water. It consists of three spans and is abont 30 feet wide. A NEW YORK inventor evidently pos sessed Of a very pretty amatenr taste in wireless electrical develogment is re ported to have introduced a new ele ment to the wireless situation. He is stated to have erected on top of his house a tall pole with 32 antennae that are kept in a state of activity gather ing wireless messages of all descrip tions. Goodby messages from ocean steamships, reports from Government stations and a lot of other information not addressed to him come to his net. Hence the wireless business is enlivened by the presence of an element that is termed the wireless rubberneck. ON Thursday last Governor Penny packer granted a charter to the Pitts burg Subway company to constrnct a tunnel one mile long beneath principal streets in downtown Pittsburg. The charter was granted despite the protests of the Flinn syndicate, which has prior rights with which the subways of the Fording-Morse syndicate conflict. The charter granted completes the system designed by the Fording-Morse syndicate to give Pittsburg a system of rapid transit that is estimated to cost $20,000,000. James S. and W. S. Kuhn. the bankers, are believed to be back of the project and it is claimed that a start will be made this summer as soon as plans are completed. THE latest demonstration that under our institutions the people got the sort of government they deserve is the case of former Mayor Rose of Kansas City, Kan. Rose permitted the saloons to run in spite of a State law if they paid for immunity, and the city appears to have approved of his course, the protesting minority being so small as to be of no political consequence, although it was obstinate enough to bring the matter before the courts and secure the ousting of the Mayor from office. But this does not seem to have in any way dampened the Mayor's ardor. He forthwith an nounced his candidacy for the Demo cratic nomination for re-election, and, dtapite some opposition, secured it. j SAN FEANCISCO. For three days and two nights of last week San Francisco was burning. Be ginning on Wednesday morning, short ly after the earthquake, the flames steadily ate into the city, until Friday evening, when they were stayed by the destruction of long rows of buildings by dynamite, powder and bombard ment By that time the entire business section and parts of the residence sec tions were in ruins, and thousands of people were homeless, and suffering for food, raiment and shelter. As the (lames advanced upon them the people gathered up a few clothes and some food, and fled to the parks and cemeteries. In Golden Gate park, which extends from the ridge or sum mit of the hill of the peninsula upon which the city is located to the high and rocky coast of the sea.two-hundred thousand people were said to have taken refuge, and as many of these had but scant clothing and food supplies, the cold fegs from the sea sat hai d upon them; which condition was some what relieved, next day, by the distii bution of tents, food and coffee from the Government Reservation at the point, and also of food from the ships in the bay, while the water company repaired its lines and was able to fnr nish water. The earthquake broke the water, gas and sewer pipes; tho escape of the gas aided the spread of the flames; the water pipes emptied them selves and the firemen had nothing to work with, while the breaking of the sewage pipes made an intolerable stench in the lower districts of the town. The work of destruction continued and that vast crowd of people were helpless, while the flames ate np their all. But they were not down cast. The accounts state that they sang, joked with each other and made merry, and people found crying were ridiculed It was, however, the levity of desperation, and was followed by some cases of in sanity after the excitement—the fire was under control. After the fire the city was divided into three districts and placed under the martial control of the army, the militia and the police department. All men caught robbing the dead were shot on sight and all able bodied men were called npon to help bury the dead, re pair the broken pipes, and search the ruins. Some of the large buildings, shattered by the earthquake, did not burn, and live people were found in them, helpless from wounds. By Saturday relief trains from neigh boring cities began arriving at Oakland, across the bay, filled with tents, cloth ing and provisions, and the great crowds yet in the parks haye, probably, been made comfortable by this time. Congress voted a million dollars, a San Francisco rich man named Phelan gavo a million, and several millions have been raised over the country by large and small subscriptions for thfe re lief of the sufferers. Santa Rosa, a large town in the hilly country, thirty miles north of San Francisco was also destroyed by the earthquake followed by fire, and the scenes there resembled "those at San Francisco, but on a smaller scale; and San Jose, about thirty miles south was injured by the quake and some people killed, but no fire followed. People were killed by falling buildings in both places. The force of the earthquake seeems to have been spent on an line running nearly north and south through the three towns, though damage was done in a dozen towns, and the shock was felt, more or less severely, »}1 over the state and to the Rocky mountains. At Oakland the 3tate Hospital was destroyed and some of the insane were killed, whilo others who were rescued were tied to trees. At Stanford Uni versity a young man from Bradford. Pa., a student there, was Wiled by fall ing walls, and thousands of incidents are being told by people who were -n the city or vicinity at the time. Some of the steel frames of the great modern buildings are yet standing, bat the interiors were entirely consumed by the fire, and part of the brick and stone veneer fell. What the fire insurance on the burn ed part of the city will aggregate is not yet known. The rates there were low and the fire insurance on the whole city is said to amount to $250,000,000. The city will undoubtedly be rebuilt, but with some precautious against fire, following an earthquake. Whether or no it will ever again reach its late pro portions remains to be seen. The present generation will undoubtedly, be scary of the ' Peninsula of Peril;" and this great calamity will probably be followed by a boom for Seattle and other towns on Puget Sound, though Mt. Ranier and other mountains, in sight there, have lately been reported as "smoking." No "tidal wave" fol lowed this convulsion of nature, in dicating that it was entirely inland. Notes. On Sunday two hundred bodies, mostly beyond indentification, found in the district near the Union Iron Works, were cremated. At the meeting in Butler. Sunday afternoon, ♦3500 was raised for the re lief of the sufferers, and the subscrip tions since have raised this amount to over $5,000 which has been sent to the Governor of California. Eighteen babies were born in Golden Gate Park from the time of the Earth quake and fire till Sunday, and eight at Buena Vista Park. At the emergency hospitals the onlv thing needed was bedding The estimated loss by the fire is 300 millions, with 175 millions of insurance. A line around the burned district is about 25 miles long. On Sunday the people in the Parks had plenty to eat, train loads of pro visions arriving at Oakland, from whence it was taken across by boats and distributed. Although the United States Mint waa surrounded by burning buildings for seven hours it was saved by hard work, a well in the court supplying the water. Some Italians on Telegraph Hill saved their homes by soaking blankets in red wine, of which they had a quantity, by hanging them over the exposed places. The water supply of San Francisco comes from Lake Merced, the pipes to which have deen repaired, and the ' supply is ssid to be abundant Weddings in great number have re sulted from the recent disaster. Women driven out of their homes and left des titute hav6 appealed to the men to whom they were engaged, and immedi ate marriages have been efteatad Sunday night a cold rain set in, great ly increasing the misery of the htyrieless thousands ij; the Parks'. People were leaving the Parks an fast as they could find a place to «o to. From ten to twenty thousand leaving each day. The foodstuffs and clothing arriving are beirg distributed by the local Re lief Associations, and by the U. S. ! 1 Quartermaster's Department. On Monday Congress appropriated one and a half millions more for the sufferers, making two and a half mil lions in all. Since the fire all the cooking done in the nnborned part of the city has been done in the streets, on account of the danger from using the wrecked chimneys. Some families have cook stoves up, others have only a fire place framed of brick. Only drug stores are open. Saloons are closed. All grocery stores and butcher shops have been impounded, and bake shops as well. The fire was larger than those of Chicago, Boston and Baltimore com bined, and dwarfs the great London fire, and every house in San Francisco was damaged by the earthquake. Food supplies for those with homej, as well as the refugees, are furnished free by the relief committee, pending resumption of business by grocjrs and shops. When you say that there was an earth quake; that 600 lives were lost; that 230,000 t0300.000 persons are homeless; that the loss bv fire is over $300,000,000: that the insurance loss is about $150,- 000,000. and that the insured will be lucky if they get 60 cents on the dollar, you have only the cold figures of the tragedy. On Monday the finance committee of the general relief committee reported that it had received contributions amounting to $1,724,536, of which sli2,- is the local subscription. In addition $366,000 has been promised locally. Pro visions were being hauled from along the water front to varions distributing stations at the rate of 1,500 tons a day. A number of Butler Co. people have heard from friends who were in San Francisco at the time of the earthquake, while others are yet on the anxious seat. By Tuesday conditions at the Parks had been so greatly improved that no farther fears of an epedemic were en tertained. 70,000 of the homeless had left the city. The Pittsburg fund for San Francisco amounts to nearly $300,000 Alcatraz island in the Bay of San Francisco was liot shaken and the islanders knew nothing of the earth quake until they saw the city falling and burning. OUR new State Capitol will be dedi cated on Thursday, Oct. 4th. ACCIDENTS. Wells Waters of Evans Citv was in town, last Thursday, after putting in two weeks in bed at his home in Evans City. He was working on the Wabash freight house in Pittsburg some time aao, when he stepped on a short board and fell to the floor below--about twenty feet—injuring his back and side. A gas line supplying the Hamilton bottle works was broken by workmen building an abutment, last Friday even ing. An explosion followed, burning gas shooting 40 feet in the air and en veloping Charles Gillman, working on a derrick Gillman was thrown to the ground, seveily burned and bruised. A man named Johnston working the pile-driver on the Bessie, east of town, had his legs crushed between two poles or spiles, Tuesday. While Jno. Z.
