It is Imperative for Every Voter to Vote For Bonds And Mad dox. Tomorrow is the day ! Elections occur all ove the Uni ted States, and the result is being watched with great interest. It remains to be seen what the people think of the democoatic ad ministration, and the result tomor row will have a great influence in the prsidental campaign in 1896, But natually people here turn with greater interest to the ques tion of aco gressman in the se.* I enth and bonds for Floyd County. John W. Maddox, the democrats Candidate for re-election, has made a conscientious and able represen tative, and the people will not turn him down for Dr. Felton, whose political opinions charge with ev ery moon. Dr. Felton in the first place lay ing aside any questton of his abili ty, physically eniable to gothrough two years of hard work in Congress But he has been so notoriously changeable in his views, that he should not, and we believe, will not get the vote of people who stop to take a considerate view of the i tuaiton. John Maddox —Our John as he is familiarly called —has been loy al and conscientious in his efforts to do all in his power for his con stituents. And while he is in the strictest sense of the word a demo cratic, he has done nothing that is against the masses. It seems that his only sin is in being a dem crat. Tonight Judge Maddox will close the campaign by speaking at the court house here. The speaking takes place at 7:80, and everybody should go out. . Tomorrow morning the polls wi I open at the court house at 7 o’clock at the court house, The election manager have not been decided upon up to time we go to press. However, Judges E. R. Lumpkin and Walter Harris will be on hand. The question on bonds has been thoroughly canvassed, and the out look is bright and carrying tl • day. But it is imperative that you go out and vote. Remember the speaking tonight at the court house. And most of all remember to vote for John Maddox and bonds tomorrow. Mr. W. S, Allcorn, of Polk county visited his sisters Mrs Floyd and Felton, a few days last week. He wa? accompanied home by Tom Floyd, who has been quite ■ sick for several months. MEXICO QUAKES And Thirteen People in the City are Crushed to death. HEAVY LOSS OF PROPERTY Prisenors in Jails fall on their knees and Konfess their Krimes. Panicks in the Theaters Resul seri ously. Mexico City, Nuv.s. —The earth quake which visited this section of the republic Friday evening was the most-severe that has been felt since ISSB. Report of damage to life and property are slow in being collect ed, but it is knowu that thirteen people wers killed in this city and at least three at oatside points Many roofs of old buildings fell in crushing to instant death the oc cupants of the houses. All the kill ed are among the lower classes. The earthquake waa preceded by a rumbling subterranean noise followed by a movement of the ground from nor.h to sou b. This was followed in a few seconds by another undulating and stronger vibration from west lo east, which in turn was succeeded by a shock from northwest to southwest. The thr-’e shocks coming as t »y did from different quartns, badly cracked gthe strongest building* Tall cbineys fell and jwalls stand ing north and south suffered great damage, From telegraphic advices from central and southern Mexico the disturbance is shown to have cov ered the state and federal district of Mexico and lasted from one to four minutes. Seven distinct shocks were felt at Jojutla, in the state of Morelos, a id smart shocks were felt at Tulancingo, in the state of Hidalgo At Ojuscoan In dian and his wife were crushed to death under the roof of their adobe house. PANICS IN THE THEATERS. Being a holiday and one of the chief festivitval days of the year the theaters were thronged and panics ensued. Several people were hurt in the rush of exit and many women went into hysterics. The songs on the stage were succeeded by impassioned prayers for for giveness and confession of error. The plays were generally aban doned and the audience remained in the seats kneeling in prayer. Traffic was completely abandon ed at the first premonition. Dri vers deserted the street ears and coachmen their hacks to kneel in prayer along with the throngs send ing up their supplications. In pal ace and in humble home nothing but prayer was to be heard. The threatened destruction was made more solemn by the fringing of belle in the swaying church tow era. Not a church was injuried by the twisting. The entire police of the city was kept busy du ring the night in attending the casualties occasioned bv falling walls and caving roots The police stations were crowded with people brought in for temporary treat ment before being "removed to the hospitals. PRISONERS CONFESS THEIR CRIMES. In Belam and other prisons, where many desperate cnmnals are confined, the scenes witndssed were curious, as the walls swayed and the earth cracked, threatening to entomb the imprisoned inmates. The convicts, almost without ex ception, fell upon their knees or groveled on the floors of their cells with loud voices crying out pray ers and supplications. Many, sup posing their end had some, shout ed out cefessions of past crime. This is one of the most dramat ic passages in the passing of the event and may be of use to the of ficers of the law in unravelling the many misterieus crimes in Mexi CO’ The water pipes leading from Chapultepec to the city was broken and the greater part of the city is in danger of a water famine unless tne connection is soon restored-, which will take jome time. The electric lights were extm gnisbed, the dynamo axle in the plant leaping from its h»d. Great cranks in the earth appearing in various parts of the city, especial ly t lie northern sections. POLICE COURT. Several Sinners Pay the Penalty for Their Misdeeds. The Monday morning session of police court is nearly always a good one, as Saturday nights is a regu lar time for gathering in the bad ’uns. Milton Waldon, a country gentleman got drunk and dis orderly last Saturday,[and went to the cooler to meditate.Th is J morn ing be paid $4 and went home. Saturday night four coons were disorderly, and in order to escape Policeman Copeland, got in a hack and drove furiously towards the Fifth ward. But Mr. Copeland i long limbed and runs like a scared rabbit and he headed the whole outfit off at Miller’s store. He “headed them up,” and told the hackman to turn around and drive back to town. When the ne. gron started to obey orders, the old vehicle broke down, and “drapt ’emj” But the whole band were landed n Jthe station house and this morning answered roll call about as follows: JoeJ Hall, $3; Allan Thomas, $4; Henry Fleetwood, $4 John Malone, $4. Ed Jones and John Jackson were drunk and disorderly and were fined $4.50 each.
