A LITTLE REVOLUTION
In Which a Few Spanish Soldiers
Take Part,
Out IViii.Ti Ainauntrd to Little More Than
a Seare for Madrid.
Mtown. .Sept. 26 A revolution was at
tempted last evening l»y a number of the
Spanish troops quartered in the city. The
uprising was ill-planned and ill-managed,
and practically amounted to little more
than a mutiny. Three hundred, soldiers
deserted the barracks and marched in
bodies through the town. Much excite
ment prevailed. The insurgents attempted
to secure possession of the arsenals, docks
and barracks, which they attacked with
open tire, but were repulsed. Finally, their
reverses drawing them together, the in
surgents attacked and got possession of the
Southern railroad. The loyal troops were
marched to the railroad, and after a short,
fight they completely dislodged the revolu
tionists. who dispersed into the country.
General Pava pursuing. During the fight
ing in the city one of the officers leading
the insurgents was shot and killed. The
rebels shot General Velarde lor refusing
to join them. They also mortally
wounded Colonel Mira sol, and killed a Col
onel of Artillery. Upon their arrival at
Alcala de Henares the insurgents failed to
arouse the sympathy of the people and
troops, and they subsequently attempted
to return to Madrid, but in this effort they
were foiled, the line having been cut by the
loyal troops. A skirmish took place at
Viealvaro, a village about four miles from
Madrid. The Royalists wounded a number
of tlie rebels, and took several prisoners.
ANOTHER SHAKE UP.
YY iggins Predicts n Great Earthquake on
the 29th lust., With Most Disas
trous Results in the South.
Ottaw a. Ont., Sept. 20.—Prof. Wiggins,
of Ottawa, and W. H. Smith, astronomer
of Montreal, have both predicted separate
ly a terrific seismetic disturbance for the
29th inst. The destruction will be confined
south of 3(E parallel of latitude, and will
effect all Southern States from ocean to
ocean. The earthquake is attributed by
Wiggins to influence of a conjunction be
tween Jupiter. Saturn, Mars and the earth
and two satellites on that day. The two
satellites consist of the moon and a dark
invisible moon, which Wiggins professes to
have discovered. The effects will lie felt
far more seriously than those of the recent
shock, as the force will be much stronger,
but the disturbance will not take place be
fore two o'clock in the afternoon. Itisnot
possible, Wiggins says, to localize exactly
w ere the shock will be most, felt, but he
holds that if any of the numerous
cities and tow,,s" along the line of
disturbance are affected at all,
the devestatiou will be complete.
Wiggins also predicted the Charleston
earthquake, and he says that the disturb
ance of the 29th will be much stronger.
The Pacific-Slope " ill be affected as fat
north as San Francisco. In the Northern
States and Canada the disturbance will be
meteorological, and will consist of a ter
rific hurricane. Wiggins maintains that
his prediction is bound to come true, and
that the disturbance will eclipse the others
that have occmjicd during the past half
century.

Oil ami Set on l ire.
Sr. .Joseph, Mo., Sept. 21.—A middle
aged tnan. Win. O'Fallen, went into a sa
loon opposite the Union Depot. Sunday
night, and after sitting there u short time,
fell asleep, when some person or persons
unknown saturated liis clothes with coal
oil, struck a match, and set tire to them,
in a frenzy of pain O'Fallen
ran into the street. Several bystanders
tried to quench the fire bv wrapping their
coats around him. but in vain. A street
car came along, and the driver bad a
blanket, which he pitched into the mud
and water of the street, then wrapping the
man in its damp folds. This extinguished
tbo fire. A patrol wagon was called and
the man taken to the hospital. At last ac
counts he was still unconscious. The oil
had been poured on the back of his neck,

roasted. All efforts to learn who the guilty
parties are have proved futile.
SUICIDE WITH A SAW.
Crazed New York Workman Cuts His
Throat Willi a Rude Implement ol
Self-Destruction.
New York, Sept. 21. —Christopher Devlin,
employed in a bo!t factory in this city, at
tempted this afternoon to saw his own
head off with an ordinary cross-cut saw.
The attempt failed, but not until the in
juries inflicted were serious enough
to make the adventurous man's
death probable. Devlin bad been
sent alone to the upper story to cut up
some scantlings that were beingused about
the factory, and was found soon afterward.
A boy going to that part of the building
saw him haggling away at bis throat with
the saw. The lad screamed for Lein, and
then fainted away. Devlin had worked at
this place for six years, and was sober and
industrious. His home relations were
happy, and no reason bnt a tit of insanity
can lie given for his act.
Earth Throes at Charleston.
Charleston. IS. L\, Sept. 21. —There were
(three shocks of earthquake in Charleston
last night and early- this morning, the shock
at 5:20 a. m. being quite sharp and causing
■houses to rattle uncomfortably. There was
no general alarm, but a good many persons
ran out of their bouses into the streets and
remained there. At Summerville there
were three shocks between 4:25 aud 6:30
o’clock this morning, there being a rather
violent shock at 5:20, as here. A loud de
tonation similar to the report of a heavy
gun was heard at the beginning of the se
vere shoek there, and there were detona
tions or explosions with two of the shocks
at Summerville.
Condemned to Death.
Madrid, Sept. M. —All of the officers im
plicated in yesterday's attempt at revolu
tion have been condemned to death. A
baud of rebels at Ocaua, in the province of
Toledo, killed their commanding officer and
then returned to allegiance and prayed for
mercy. The common soldiers who took
part in the uprising generally repent their
tolly to-day and blame their officers for
leading them astray. The soldiers are
everywhere yielding to the authorities. Iu
the province of Toledo two bauds of rebels,
however, still hold out. They are trying to
reach the Cfuadarratnan Mountains, and a
force of loyal troops has been sent in pur
suit of them. The city is quiet to-day.

Slaughter on the South Seas.
London. Sept. 21.—The Australian mail
brings news of a conflict bet ween the Ger
