Earthquake Shocks.
Iowa City, November 15. At 12:30
P.M. to-day severe earthquake shocks
were Mt here.
Council Bja-ffs, Iowa, November
15. A number of quick successive
earthquake shocks were felt here to-day
about 12:15 o'clock, with a movement
apparently east to west, and lasted about
two minutes. No damage resulted, al
though for a time the destruction of
some high brick buildings was threaten
ed. At the high school there was a
slight jaanAe.
Dispatches from western Iowa say no
serious damage resulted, although the
shock has been generally felt.
Omaha, Nov. 15. Three distinct
earthquake shocks lasting about ten
seconds were plainly perceptible here
twenty minutes before noon to-day,
especially in the upper 6torics of brick
and stone buildings. In Columbus the
bells on public buildings sounded. In
North Platte cases in printing offices
were overturned. The weather was
very pleasant.
The Pope's Illness.
New York, November 12. A Lon
don dispatch say : " Dispatches recelv-,
ed from Rome to-day state that the holy
father passed a very restless night, and
that the gravest fears are entertained for
his life.
" From his fitful slumbers during the
night be always awakened in full posses
sion of his faoultlee, and was conscious
of all that was going on around him.
Despite his enfeebled condition helnBlsts
on receiving most of those who call upon
him, and to many be gives Instructions
jot a personal and ecclesiastio nature.
"Many of the most prominent
physicians of Italy have been summon
ed to his bedside, and they give as their
opinion that he cannot recover,nlthough
they admit he may linger for Rome days,
If not for a week or more. Po soon as
the death of the pontiff Is announced
the cardinals will assemblo In conclave,
and It Is thought that this conclave will
last no longer than a day, and that an
Italian will be chosen as tlifi successor of
I'lo Nono.
The Italian government has already
taken the precaution to station a strong
guard around all the approaches to the
Vatican to prevent any pillaging that
might follow on the death of the pope
being made public. It Is further an
nounced that the temporary Interment
of the pope will take place in Bt. Paul's
until his final resting place shall have
been selected."
Outrage by Masked Men.
John, Peter, Christian and David
Roth are four wealthy brothers, bache
lors, each of them over sixty years old,
living ncroRS the river directly opposite
Marietta. Friday night a week between
eight and nine o'clock, they were sitting
in the kitchen In company with the
housekeeper and her sister. Three
masked men entered, and, only await
ing to say " good evening," began a
murderous assault upon the family with
out any provocation. One of them
struck Peter on the head, with a billy.
Another seized one of the women, but
David grasped him and pulled him
away. Having made her escape, the
the woman ran to the house of Jacob
Roth, living about seventy-five yards
away, to give an alarm. Peter had a vio
lent tussle with the man who attacked
him, and in the atl'ray was cut severely
no less than ten limes on the head. He
finally released himself and made his
escape to Jacob Roth's house. The path
leading to Roth's was sprinkled with
blood us it flowed from his dangerous
wounds. David defended himself with
a club, and only received two wounds
on the forehead. Christian was very
severely beaten, receiving six cuts on
the head. John was Injured to about
the same extent as Christian. At the
conclusion of this diabolical deed the
robbers escaped, taking with them a
shot-gun, which was afterwards found
in the yard, where one of them also
dropped ft hat. Dr. Thompson, of
Wrightsville, was sent for and dressed
the wounds. The only one who is dan
gerously injured is Peter, who was on
Sunday reported dead, but was living
Monday morning. There are those who
think his injuries will prove fatal. The
women were not hurt. The bold ati'air
has created great excitement and a largo
number of persons visited the scene of
the bloody coullict on Sunday. The
house is situated in a secluded spot, and
the whole transaction looks like a mur
derous attack with theintent of robbery.
A reward of $100 has been oilered by
the authorities for the arrest and con
viction of the villains.
Extraordinary Suit Against a Sheriff.
A singular case Is pending in Judge
Howe's room, of which no mention has
yet been made. It Is a suit instituted by
Dr. James II. Fuller against John T.
Pressley and others for damages In the
sum of $25,000. The complnirit sets
forth that during Fuller's absence from
the city the sherifflevied upon and sold
all of his office furniture to satisfy an ex
ecution, breaking into his office to get at
the goods. Among this furniture was a
safe which was purchased by a second
hand dealer who caused it to be opened
and the papers taken out. These papers
were sold to a rag man and forever dis
appeared from view.
Now the doctor comes forward with
the statement that these papers embraced
a bundle of notes and mortgages to the
value of $10,000, and tax certificates
worth $2,000 more. The records in the
auditor's office show Dr. Fuller to have
been a large purchaser of tax certificates
and there is money now In the county
treasury belonging to him which he
cannot get at because he can not pro
duce the certificates. The doctor sues
the sheriff and all others who helped to
dispose of his property to recover the
value of his missing wealth. The mag
nitude of the loss renders the case one of
more than usual Interest. Indianapolis

A Long Chase.
On Saturday a week, after the north
bound passenger train left Lebanon,
Ky., when passing the Walker distillery,
a mile or two from town, a horse that
had been grazing by the roadside be
came frightened, and getting upon the
track, ran along in front of the train
until it reached St. Mary's, four miles
distant from the point of starting. Dur
ing the whole of the course the horse
resisted all efforts made by the trainmen
to drive it from the track, and leaped
the cow-gaps without sustaining any in
jury. The most remarkable part of the
achievement, however, was crossing the
railroad bridge over Hardin's creek, the
timbers of which He somedlstanceapart,
as they are usually placed In the con
struction of railroad bridges; but there
was a plank ten Inches In dlameterlylng
Just outside the rail on one sldo of the
track. The horse mado a safe and ap
parently easy pnssage over this bridge,
and kept out of the way of the train un
til St. Mary's was reached, when the an
imal quilted the track and went off to the
left In the direction of the college. The
horse is the property of Mr. Napoleon
Hughes, of the Raywlck neighborhood,
and had strayed away from home a few
days before the above mentioned occur
rence. -
F Ex-SherllT Miller, or Clearfield
county, and son-in-law of I). V. Moore,
ICsq., late of the AltootiftiS'io), disappear
ed from his home over a yenr ago. The
cause of his mysterious disappearance
was unknown, but supposed to be
pecuniary embarrassment. All trace of
him was lost, nnd It was only within a
few weeks that any tidings ' of Mr.
Miller reached his friends, who were
greatly concerned about his safety and
whereabouts, to ascertain which they
had made every effort. A geutlman
from York, Pa., had occasion to visit
Oregon this summer, and there found
and recognized the ex-Sheriff working
in a lumber yard. On his return home,
he made known his discovery, which
was conveyed to Miller's friends In
Clearfield. His wife opened up a corres
pondence with him, which resulted In a
remittance of money, and a request for
her to rejoin him on the Pacific slope,
and she started a week or two ago.
