came another shock, not as sharp as the t WUy ’ *°s the class o£ P^P 1 ®
rV 38 P as .. tae I who want their deb^s paid by an act of
congress, and who would have money as
lentifnl as antpum leaves in the forest.
He did not believe, he said, in having
the government doing everything and
the people nothing.
Referring to the problem of unequal
distribution of wealth, he said that it
was not right that 10,000,000 people
should never have enough to eat in this
country L ornoue year's end to the other,
nor should it ever hapjien that a man
went hungry when -lie was willing and
able to work.
It was quite evident from bis. talk,
however, that ho di.l. not expect the
present romli don of affairs to speedily
change, for he said that if all the
wealth in the Uuited ■ States were to be
equally divided now, in six months
there would be some geopls riding in
palace cars, some in buggies, some
would be walking, and some would be
sitting in fence corners wa telling the
procession go bv. "Above all,” he added
'there would be heard again the voice
of the irrepressible reformer earning his
livelihood by the perspiration of his jaw
rather than thejsweat of his brow. ”
He said that he would like to have a
private car, a steam yaaht and other
luxuries, and that the reavon why he did
not have them was iu himsulf. If some
men were rich and others were poor it
was the fault of the Creator, He would
act disgnis the fact that the present
was a momentous crisis iu the history
of this country, and that all the forces
of demoralization were marshaled for
the contest. He had no doubt of the
outcome of the fight. There would be
preceding one, but with greater oscillat
ing motion. The duration of the two
shocks was fully a minute. The first
shock was so violent that the electric
light tower at Market and Santa Clara
streets, 240 feet high, was sv vyed at
least tn feet out of perpendir ar, and
those in the vicinity ran. expecung it to
fall. In the St. James and v sndome
hotels, which are largely fii d with
eastern tourists, a veritable pa.iic pre
vailed, men and women rush ng -half
clad into the corridors, th - r faces
blanched and their shrieks c>: terror
filling the air.
The entire city rocked like a ship in
the trough of a rongh sea and on the
second shock the rows of buildings rose
and'fell with a slow, undnlatory motion.
The first shock proved disastrous to
crockery, window panes and chimneys
and one partly erected brick building
was tumbled to the ground. So far as
learned no one was hurt^beyond the al
most universal scare. Prof. Barnard,
of Lick Observatory, says the s ock
rocked the Observatory building vio
lently, and some fear was felt for the
big telescope, but beyond a severe sha
king it escaped intact.

That Terrorised a Consresation
Christian Church.
Vincinnes, Ind., June 30.—Services at
the Christian church, were interrupted
here and the congregation terrorized by
the entrance of Wm. Sachs, a saloon
keeper, who had been suddenly seized
with a fit of insanity. In load tones he
called on the Rev. Mr. Clark to save his
soul, shouting and exhorting., in the
wildest manner going through'the
most grotesque ■; t j. The women and
children and a u . u many of.the men
fled from the house, creating a panic in
their efforts to escape the madman.
Chief of Police Johnson and Lieutenant
Robertson were sent for, and with the
assistance of several men of the congre
gation succeeded, after a desperate
struggle, in ejecting the intruder, who
is a muscular man. and has always had
the reputation of a wicked fighter.
Before entering th® church Sachs was
rushing up and down Second street in
front of his residence itb a loaded re
volver in his hand, avowing that if the
Sunday law would not permit him to
sell liquor he would see that the street
cars stopped running if he had to kill
the drivers, and at the point ot his pis
tol be compelled two cars to stop. He
was finally overpowered by five men,
who carried him to' jail. His faithful
dog stayed by him in the struggle and
the animal had to be billed before the
officers could take his master prisoner.

fanner who lived three miles south of

His upper lip was lacerated, as ii from
a blow, and his right arm was bruised
and bore marks of fingers, and his pock
ets, which had been rifled, were turned
inside out. Baker was a convivial man
of 60, and had been drinking heavily all

had sold a team of horses and the sup
