THE NEW ZEALAND EARTHQUAKE.
Au Kjo WituoM Tulls of 111b Experience
Lora mill Mcl.ling Mini,
Wonderful is the name given to the
North island of New Zealand by European
tourists. Everybody recalls the great !
earthquake and volcanic outburst that i
convulsed the couutry last June. A spec
tator, who has just returned from Tau-
ranga, gives the following account of his
experiences:
“At i o’clock in the morning of June 10
a heavy shook of earthquake occurred,
and was shortly afterwuras followed by a
great glare and illuminution over the
southerly sky. Similar shocks follow d in
quick succession, till at 4:30 the great shocK
occurred. By this time every one was
about and greatly alarmed. A little after
5:30 o’clock another very severe shock of
earthquake occurred, and very shortly af
terwards showers ot volcanic dust were
swept along by a brisk southerly wind.
The showers of dust got denser and denser,
till at 9 o’clock it was perfectly dark, ana
lights hud to be lit. For over un hour total
durkness reigned, and the showers of dust
fell in greut sheets, almost blinding men
who were out. The showers continued all
day and the whole face of the country was
covered with dust over an inch thick.
Shocks of earthquako occurred at intervals
all the day.
“The Tarawera mountain and its twin
cqne, Ruawahia, suddenly burst into ac
tivity. Seen from this place the spectacle
was fearful, and it reminded one of Bul-
wer’s description of “The Last Days of
Pompeii” and of Martin’s celebrated pic
ture of “The Lost Day.” From 2 o’clock
until about 6 immense volumes of flames
were projected to a great height, and
dense clouds of smoke, steam, mud and
ashes cov red the sky and thunder and
lightning were almost incessant. Flashes
ot lightning played through, this pall of
smoko in all directions. The effect of the
corruscatiou was simply indescribable.
Shortly before 5 o’clock showers of ashes
reached here, but, fortunately, the wind
shifted around to the southwest and blew
for a time with ulmost hurricane force,
turning the dense cloud before mueb
damage was done. When the grit began
falling many persons who had passed the
night with iear and trembling thought
they were about to be overwhelmed and
theft began a stampede.
“Half dressed women and children wore
to be seen flying for their lives along the
Tauranga road towards Te Awahou to seek
.shelter in the native school house there.
Some did not think themselves safe even
there, and continued their flight. The
lake rose considerably and a great many
new springs burst uji, which added to peo
ple’ fear of being engulfed. Shortly after
daylight Mr. Edwin Robertson started out
towards Wairoa to endeavor to ascertain
the position of matters there, and was fol
lowed by Mr. Marchernan. When near
Tikitapu bush they met a number of fugi
tives who gave accounts of balls of Are
which had been flying about in all direc
tions.
“The scene among the hills on the Wai
roa road was weird. The grit was still
falling in light showers, and dense clouds
obscured the sky. Vivid flashes of light
ning and crashing peals of thunder were
frequent. A strong southeast wind was
then blowing and it was terribly cold. On
arrival at the Tikitapu bush it was found
necessary to fasten up the horses and leave
the buggy, and the remainder of the jour
ney hud to be performed on foot. '”ho
whole country was covered several feet
with clay mud, which made walking very
heavy. Natives were mat from time to
time, and all gave the same account of the
terrible catastrophe. All vegetation along
the route after passing the summit, be
tween Rotorua and Tikitapu, was found to
be completely destroyed and the aspect of
the landscape changed. It resembled very
much the ap pearance of an English land
scape after a heavy snowstorm, but was of
a dull grey color instead of being white.
The beautiful Tikitapu bush was a thing of
the past. The weight of the superincum
bent mud and the force of the wind have
strinped oft' the leaves, broken oif the
branches and uprooted immense trees in
all directions. The Blue Lake and Rotoka-
kahi are simply mud water, which will
take some time to clear. The outlet of the
latter lake has been blocked up and the
bridges are covered with clay mud up to
the top rail.
“On arriving at the village the full ex
tent of the damage done was plainly visi
ble. Nearly every building had been
crushed in by the falling mud. The Snow
Temperance Hall was completely flatten
ed, and of the Terrace anu Kotomaliana
hotels only the outer walls are standing in
a terribly wrecked state.
“The party was glad to learn that a Mrs.
Haszard had been dug out alive and com
paratively uninjured. She had a miracu-
. lous escape. The falling beams lodged on
a chiffonier and allowed just sufficient room
to save, her from being crushed to death.
Two of the children wore found dead
beside her, her arm being around one of
them.
“When the eruption was first seen it was
like a small cloud on the mountain, shot
with flashes of lightning of great brilliancy.
Everybody went up to the old mission
station and saw a sight that none can ever
forget. Apparently the mount had three
craters, and flames of lire was shooting up
iully a thousand feet high. There seemed
to be a continuous shower of balls of lire
for miles around. As a storm appeared to
be coming on we returned to the hotel,and
short ly after what seemed to be heavy
hailstones came pouring on the roof. This
was succeeded by a fall of heavy stones,
fire balls and mud,the lava falling after the
manner of rain. The weight of these sub
stances upon the roof soon began to tell
upon it. The first portion to give away
was a detached kitchen and pantry, and
then ail collected together in the smoking
room. But soon the entire house came
down and we had to run for it.

GAS AT 20 CENTS.
I'!iilii<lel]ililii to lluve (Inn ul n Nominal l'liI I’. j
From the Philadelphia Record.
The Excelsior Has Light Company of
New York oilers to put in the gas holder
for the city of Philadelphia a “pure, bril
liant. non-smoking gas of as high ns thirty-
candle power” at a cost of from 20e. to “ne
per 1000 feet, depending upon the price
paid for fuel and labor. It is also proposed
to make an experimental test under con
ditions that would be peculiarly fuvorable
to the city. The plant for the new process
would bo constructed at the expense of
the company, and if not satisfactory to
consumers would bo removed without ex
pense to the city. To adnpt the works to
the new process would not cost $100,000,
including everything.
Ssuch an offer seems almost incredible to
those in Philadelphia who have been pay
ing gas bills at rates ranging from $2 to $1.00
per 1000 feet; yet in this age of invention
and progress ninny successful processes
have bei n introduced by which gas can be
made at a cost much less than even that]
named by the New York company.
During the brief period of ten years the !
manufacture of illuminating gas has been I
wonderfully cheapened. The competition
of oil ami water gases with coal gas !
has resulted in many ingenious advances. |
The introduction of electric lights and l
the development of the territory adjoin
ing the natural gas areas have spurred in
vestigators and opened new lines of re
search to them in the manufacture of coal
gas. The yield of a retort per day has
within a few years been increased two or
three-fold, and the production per laborer
has made similar progress. There has
been an economy of from one-half to two-
thirds in the amount of fuel consumed per
ton of coal carbonized; there has been an
increase of from 10 to 20 per cent, in the
yield of gas per ton of coal carbonized;
there has been an improvement in caudle
power, a reduction in tbe wear and tear
account, and a deminution of the leakage
from 20 per cent, of the whole amount to
less than 5 per cent. As a result of these
improvements there has been a reduction
of 50 per cent, in the cost of making gas.
But the field for exploration and devel
opment has as yet been barely touched.
In England illuminating gas is made and
delivered at a cost of 30 cents per 1000 feet.
The president of the American Gas Light
Association for the year 1833, Mr. Theobold
Foretell, is authority for the statement
that a “non-illuminating unpurified water
gas produced from the cheaper inferior
coals could be put into holders at 15 cent3
per 1000 feet.” A prominent officer of the
Standard Oil Company recently asserted
that illuminating gas could be made from
oil for 14 cents per $1000 feet. These asser
tions would be regarded with suspicion did
they not come from reliable
sources. They are supplemented,
too, by substantial proof. Siemens
held that the time would come when
coal would be converted into gas at the
mines at the rate of 40,000 cubic feet per
ton and would be pumped to manufactur
ing centres, thus doing away with the
expensive system of railroad transporta
tion of coal now in vogue. In New York
city there is a gas company which obtains
from one ton of anthracite coal 50,000 feet
of gas that is afterward enriched with
naptha.
In view of these facts it is not unreason
able to expect that the lime is not far
distant when gas can be supplied to con
sumers in Philadelphia at from 30c. to 40c.
per 1000 feet.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Two True Lovers Separated in Voutli Are Reunited
by a Happy Fate in Life's Meridian.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
A marriage which unfolded a genuine
romance was solemnized yesterday at the
magistrate office of Justice McCann. The
lovers were Mordecai Zeizer and Mary A.
Call. Both are in middle life. Years ago
as boy and girl they were lovers, living on
two adjoining plantations near Hot
Springs, Ark. They were betrothed, and
expected to marry early, but a formidable
barrier arose between them, which ended
in an unwilling separation. The fathers of
the respective families disputed over a
matter of politics and engaged in an affair
“on the field of honor.” Zeizer wounded
Call, and that provoked a family feud, in
which several of the sous and relatives on
each side were called to take part and de
fend the family name. The feud was the
direct cause of no little bloodshed, and
ended only when the Zeizers and Calls
abandoned their homesteads for new fields.
This was fifteen years ago.l
Mordecai Zeizer went to Cuba, where he
had Spanish relatives. He engaged in sev
eral speculative enterprises and finally be
came wealthy. Mary Call accompanied
an uncle to California. Both remained
single, but in the meantime heard nothing
of each other. Zeizer returned to this
country about a month since.
It was fate that brought the old lovers
together. Zeizer arri ved in this city yes
terday, his purpose being to visit the ex
position. Miss Call was on her way home,
after long years of absence on the Pacific
coast. She was accompanied by a relative
from the same quarter. They could not
possibly miss the exposition, and deter
mined to spend half the day there.
A little while after noon, when Zrizer
Detroit, October 26.—Last May, when
the eight hour movement was at its height,
the employes of the Detroit Dry Dock
Company, controlling three ship yards in
this county, struck for the shorter day. A
compromise was effected, but frequently
since then the company has had differences
with their men, the chief point of contro
versy being that the employes had driven
work to other Michigan ship yards where
wages were lower. A week ago thirty ship
carpenters were brought here from Maine.
The company claimed that the reason for
the change was because the Maine men
were able to do about one-fifth more work
per day than the Detroit workmen.
On Friday last the Knights of Labor, to
which botli the [Detroit and the Maine
ship carpenters belong, paid the latter
$1000 to leave the country. Learning this
the company has sublet about $100,000
worth of work, all it had on hand, to Capt.
Linn, of Gibralter, and has practically
gone out of business. The company say
the work they had lost previous to clear
ing their two docks, because of the dis
crimination against them in the matter of
wages, would have amounted to $500,000.
They contemplated building several boats
this winter and there was a large
amount of repair work in sight. Now,
many vessel men will be driven to Lake
Erie ports to make their usual winter re
pairs. About 500 men are thrown out of
work by the closing of these yards.
The Knights of Labor who paid the
Maine men o leave the county were to
day astounded to learn that the imported
ship carpenters had broken their promise
and gone to work at the Gibraltar yard,
which takes the Detroit shipyards’ con
tracts. “It’s a sharp Yankee trick,” said
a Knight of Labor ship carpenter, “and
they’ll sweat for it.”

New York, October 26.—The explana
tion of a series of curious robberies in a '
Kentucky town is given in to day’s Sun, as :
follows: One morning five or six years ago ]
a merchant in n town in Kentucky awoke ;
to find that he had been robbed during t he !
night. Money to the amount of $67, a gold !
watch and a diamond pin had been taken i
from his clothing, while lie and his wife
had slept througn the night unconscious
that any thing unusual was going on. Tho
first thing was to find out how the burglar
got in. Every door and window was fast,
no violonce had been used, and the
neatest detective was baffled. That
is, while the merchant was
firm in his belief that the house
had been robbed by outsiders, the detec
tives could find uo evidence to sustain him.
On the contrary, everything went to show
that some inmate of the house was the
offender. Besides the merchant and his
wife there was a clerk in the store, the
wife’s sister, a colored cook and two eol-
oted servants. These three colored peo
ple slept over the kitchen, far away, and
could nol for a moment lie suspected. The
clerk had been in the merchant's employ
for several years and the only other one
was a relative. It was, therefore, impos
sible to suspect any one, and so no arrest
was made. The incident was, of course,
tho talk of the family for the next fort
night, and it had not yet been worn out
when another surprise was sprung on
them.
Again the merchant awoke at his usual
hour to find that he had been mysteriously
visited again. A roll of bills, amounting to
$185, had been taken irom his trouser
pocket mid the gold watch which lie had
borrowed from his sister-in-law that very
day was.gone. Again the doors amt win
dows were found all right and again the
detectives were called in. This time t hey
declared t hat one of the colored maids was
the thief. She was questioned and cross-
questioned, but no clew was obtained, and
in her indignation at being suspected of
such a crime Hhe left the house. The other
servants would have gone too, had they not
been frankly told that the merchant would
as soon suspect his own wife as them. The
clerk naturally felt embarrassed over the
situation and insisted on occupying a room
at the store.
Matters run along for about three weeks
when one night shortly alter midnight the
merchant was awakened by- the voice of
his sister-in-law and he sprang up to find
his wife absent. It was explained I hat she
had gone down stairs, and the husband
hastily threw on ills clothes and hastened
out to find her. It seemed that the sister-
in-law secretly cherished a suspicion of
one of tho servants, and each night after
the last robbery had been the last one to
go to bed. She had stretched a thread
across the upper hall in such a way that it
must be broken by any one passing
and the breaking must alarm her.
She was asleep when the signal
dime, but she got to the door
to see the half-dressed wife descending the
stairs. The merchant found the kitchen
door open and he spent a quarter of an
hour looking around before his wife was
discovered. She then came from the di
rection of an open field, and though he
spoke to iter, expressing his amazement at
her actions, she passed by him without a
word, her eyes wide open and looking
straight ahead. He followed her into the
house and upstairs, and she went straight
to the bed and covered herself up and in a
moment was as quiet as any sleeper.
That it was a case of somnambulism
there could be no doubt; that she was the
burglar seemed to be certain, when the
merchant inspected his clothing and found
that he had again been robbed—this time
ot about $40. The wife was not awakened
and next morning when told of her adven
ture could scarcely' credit her husband’s
words. ' She could not remember of hav
ing had any dream about money or bur
glars, nor had She the remotest idea of how
far she went from the house or in which
direction. She had pulled on her stock
ings and shoes before going out. These
were inspected and three or four burrs
were found clinging to tho
stockings. Near a hollow stump
on the commons and fully a quarter
of a mile from the house was a large bur
dock. The merchant examined the stump,
and there, carefully wrapped in a piece oi'
burlap were his two watches and the lost
money. The wife could not remember
ever having noticed the stump and she had
certainly never gone within City feet of it
in her waking hours. On two other occa
sions within the next month she got up
and wandered over the house in her sleep
seeming to be in search of something but
not finding it. The habit, or mania, or
whatever it may be termed, then left her
as suddenly as it came and she was not
known to walk again except in her waking
senses.

Wusliina'tnn Letter tn Baltimore American.
Every peruou one meets to-day has some
new excuse for Mrs. Cleveland not going
to Richmond yesterday. Each newspaper
has a different explanation, although
nearly all mention, Incidentally, that tne
“Winnie Davis episode” is claimed to be
the chief reason. Yesterday no excuse was
thought of except that tho president con
sidered it Impolitic for Mrs. Cleveland to
go and receive with the “Daughter of the
Confederacy.” This was thought a per
fectly proper excuse; hut no soo .or did the
presidential party return than explana
tions and the reason why became as thick
as flies in June. The president told one
of the correspondents on the train coming
home that the Indies did not go because it
would tire them too much to get up early.
To the Post reporter Col. Lamoul said,
“Mrs. Cleveland simply decided not to
go.” To a friend he gavo the excuse pub
lished in the American to-day—that the
party did not know the plans to be follow
ed in Richmond aud the ladies thought it
best not to go.
Another correspondent said it was be
cause the Indies found out that they would
have to carry evening drosses for I lie re
ception of Governor Lee’s, and thought
it best, as the time was short, not to go.
One of the ladies of the cabinet told a
reporter who called on her last night that
every arrangement, had beep made fortbe
trip, and the Indies were already to go.
No hint of a change of plans was given
until Wednesday night, when her husband
returned and informed her that the ladies
were not to go. Womau-Jiko, she wanted
to know why, but her husband simply
said : ‘ It has been decided that the ladies
can’t go.” The lady remarked that she
was greatly disappointed, because she
had contemplated a pleasant trio.
SHE WENT AND DID IT. ’

Commodious House Krertti
Their Plumle
d to Slow Away
Hyde Park, Mass., October 26.—A gang
of youthful house-breakers who have been
operating in this town and vicinity for
several months was broken up yesterday
by the police. They broke into a shanty
occupied by Italian laborers on Friday
and stole their clothes, money, etc. The
Italians reported the case to the police,
and also told them where they had reason
to believe the marauders had a rendezvous
in the woods of Corrigunville. Officers at
an early hour this forenoon started on a
search in the direction mentioned and soon
came upon a shanty about fifteen feet
long built of boards, well erected and cov
ered with tar paper, being tight and com
modious. A door stood open and an officer
walked in to find Charles D. Smith, un at
tendant of the Hvd* Park high school,
Charles Booth and Thomas O’Brien, two
of whom were getting breakfast, frying
griddle cakes and picking a chicken, while
the third was gnawing a chicken bone.
The place presented a neat appearance.
Mattresses Were stretched on the rafters,
while in an old-fashioned trunk there were
sheets and quilts neatly packed. In one
corner were found the clothing taken from
the Italians and text uooks such are used
in Hyde Park school3.

Green &Uo., in their report on cotton futures,
say; Under free offerings of yesterday the mar
ket was somewhat over sold and covering of ner
vous shorts this niorhing led to an upward turn
of some 4(q>5 points. As soon as that demand
was exhausted, however, the position lost
strength, finally closing tame at a small fraction y
above last evening. There was no particularly
stimulating feature either at home or abroad,
and the south continues to offer cotton to the
continent freely at gradually receding rates,
without bringing out orders.

Our Southern Womi*n.
God bless the women, our own noble women,
Our women so bravo, and so true,
Who are ho ready to say in their positive way,
What they knosv of a truth t*j be true.
No matter what men, with their learning and
ken,
May strive to impress on the youth,
About our dear south, with their pens or by
mouth,
They, tho women, will tell them the truth.
It is not the brain that the pupils obtain
From the technological schools,
That take from the mouth of the youth of the
south,
Aud make them a herd of fools.
’Tvvas robbery through strife that blighted their
life,
Though their ancestors falsely accused,
And now they must wait the movements of
state,
On account ofthe slandered, abused.
And in time they will show by skill and by blow,
They are men to the manor born,
They will rise with the sun and watch his course
run.
Until night from the early morn.
Money without tact can ne’er establish the fact,
That the south is degraded and lost,
Aud that now is the time, for the sake of a dime,
To spit in the face of your host.

But the noble, brav

Will fight to the bitter end.
They know the great cost by the brothers lost,
And the sons who fell in battle;
Who never were won’t to stay from the front,
Away tVom the big cannon’s rattle.
These thoughts have been stirred by an unguard

Of a man who wore a sword
In the southern cause in defense of the laws,
Whose name was ne’er blurred, as ever I’ve
heard
By failure of duty or plan,
And yet I must say, in my plain-spoken way,
He forfeits iuy idea of man.
