DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER ‘>7, 1886. 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. was aimlessly wandering about, he came 1 face to face with his former idol.

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. SOLO BY HIS BROTHERS. Sharp Trick ot Imported Ship Carpenters at De troit— $1000 (lone (itlnimeriiig. 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.” Trout tlie Editors Well. Raleigh, N. C., October 26.—A large number of editors and visitors from the north arrived here to-day to attend the convention of northern born settlers in this state. The convention organized this even ing at the capitol, with George Z. French, of Wilmington, as president. Speeches of welcome to the visitors were made by Governor Scales, Rev. G. W.

MyNtcrioua Rnb'iorles tlmt Viillicil the Skill of De tective* Sulv.'il hy it iVciilitir Contrivance— Strange I)o!ng\ nl'.i SeiiuiiimhnliNt. 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. TJifly’l) Ito It Itlirhl. Baltimore, October 26.—Archbishops Ireland, Feehan, Williams, Kcuean and Ryan arrived in this city to-night. They nre here for the purpose of holding a con ference with Cardinal Gibbons.

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. ’ (icorin' IV. t'alW's Pn>|dn>e.v ('mii'cnibiif llic Wife Of Jiimcs6. Hlidne.

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. .Vow, Mr. Khlor! Chicago, October 26.—A. P. T.

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.

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.
