EARTHQUAKE AND A TIDAL WAVE Seventy Shocks Felt, Harbor Works Damaged and Houses Destroyed. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28.—Later re ports from Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus of the Tehuantepec National railway, regarding the earthquakes Tuesday, confirm first reports. There were seventy shocks that afternoon, and in thte meantime a furious gale and storm sprang us. Persons there in charge of the port works for Pear- Bon & Son immediately took measures to protect the harbor works, and the plant with the Titan crane, which was out on one of the breakwaters, was quickly encircled with a defense of random blocks, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon was reported to have been rendered safe. At 10 oclock at night the storm had increased to a severity never experi enced within the memory of the old est inhabitant. A huge tidal wave leaped forward from the sea, lifting thirty and fifty-ton blocks like cockle shells and sweeping the Titan crane over into the sea. Tho wave invaded part of the town, destroying some of its houses, and it is thought the dam age must also have been done to the completed portion of the port works. The loss from the breaking down of the new sea wall and the sweeping away of the huge crane will be SSOO - 000. Appointed National Chaplain. SYRACUSE, N. V., Sept. 28.—Right Rev.

MARKS YEAR 5663 THURSDAY WILL BE CELEBRATED AS ROSH HOSHANNAH BY JEWISH CONGREGATIONS EVENT IS ATTENDED BY ANCIENT CEREMONIES Reformed Church Observes but One Day, While Orthodox Hebrews Con duct Services for Two—Special Sing ing is Feature and Publio is Invited to Participate. Thursday is the beginning of the year 5663 according to the Jewish reckoning and "Rosh Hoshannah," which in He brew stands for New Year's day, will be duly celebrated, both by the ortho dox and reformed Jews in St. Paul. Rabbi Rypins, of the Mount Zion congregation, known as the reformed Jews, said yesterday: "The event will be celebrated with divine worship, music and special serv ices. There is nothing different in the services than those held by the Chris tian churches at the beginning of the civil year on January 1. The services commence Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Temple, at Tenth and Minnesota streets, and consist of sing ing by a mixed choir and an address or sermon delivered by me. "Thursday morning there will be spe cial services at the temple and I shall deliver another sermon or address. The exercises will be in the English lan guage, and an invitation is extended those who desire to be present either Wednesday evening or Thursday morn ing. "Thursday afternoon the members of my congregation will celebrate the day much the same as members of Chris tian churches do on New Year's day. They will extend greeting to their rela tives and friends, enjoy a social time and wish each other a happy year." Ancient Rites Followed. The orthodox Jews celebrate the New Year for two days, commencing Wednesday evening and continuing the services and ceremonies until Friday evening. The ancient ceremonies, as held thousands of years ago, are fol lowed as closely as possible, and the singing during the services is rendered by a choir of male voices. Instead of the rabbi conducting the services, as in the reformed congregations, the mem bers of the orthodox congregations take part in the services and ceremonials which are held to mark the beginning of a new year. WORK HARD FOR BOND ISSUE AMENDMENT Mayor and Commissioner Cannon Would Make Posterity Help Bear Civic Burdens. Every effort is to be made at the next session of the legislature to se cure an amendment to the bond issue act that will enable St. Paul to in crease its indebtedness in this re spect. Mayor Smith Is a leader in the movement and he has a number of able seconds in the persons of several members of the charter commission, among whom is Secretary Cannon. "There is no valid reason," said Mr. Cannon, >"why a city the size of St. Paul should be hampered with a debt limit of insignificant proportions and the burden of the city's maintenance forced on those who pay it taxes. There are many things that St. Paul needs, improvements that will be en joyed by those to come for the next fifty years, yet it would be manifestly unfair to force their completion to day. I hope to see relief at an early date and will do all I can to hasten it." Of the eighteen members of the charter commission Mr. Cannon is probably the most liberal in his views and has been the most urgent in his endeavor to give charter relief to those departments asking for it. When the personnel of the next Ramsey county delegation in the leg islature is known, a special resolution will be authorized by the two bodies of the council asking for relief from the present stringent financial laws. CHOKED TO DEATH BY ALABAMA WRETCH Mobile Woman's Home Entered, She Killed and Her Niece Assaulted. MOfclLE, Ala., Sept. 28.—Mrs. Helen Dickson was choked to death and her niece, Miss Helen Robertson, was as saulted today at their home by a man, supposed to be a negro. The murderer climbed through a window into the room where Mrs. Dickson, her three-year-old son, Al bert, and her niece, Miss Robertson, were sleeping and, after closing and bracing the door leading into a room where Miss Robertson's father was sleeping, strangled Mrs. Dickson into insensibility and had clutched Miss Robertson by the throat when she screamed, frightening the intruder away. Mr. Robertson, upon hearing his daughter's cries, broke into the room, but was unable to capture the murderer. Mrs. Dickson died a few hours later. Miss Robertson says that her assail ant struck her with something, the na ture of which she could not determine. The intruder carried into the house with him an axe, which he had secured from the woodshed. Mrs. Dickson left three children. BUFFALO BILL'S FAVORITE HORSE BURNED T ODEATH Smoky is One of Eight That Perish at Proctorknott, Minn. DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 28.—Among eight horses destroyed in a barn which burned at Proctorknott today was Smoky, formerly Buffalo Bill's favorite horse. He was a superb animal in his day, and when he got old, Col. Cody gave him to his sister, Helen Cody Wetmore of this city. Frederic Rem ington's masterpiece is said to be a picture of Buffalo Bill mounted on Smoky. Hot for Twelve Years. It is scientifically reported that the lava streams from Vesuvius in 1858 were so hot twelve years later that steam was issuing from the cracks and crevices, while the lava beds from the eruption of Etna in 1787 were found to be steaming hot just below the top crust as late as 1840. But still more remarkable are the scientific reports of the volcano Jorullo, in Mexico. This sent forth Immense streams of lava in 1759. In 1780 the lava beds were examined by a party of sci entists, and It was found that a stick thrust Into the crevices instantly Ignited, although there was no discomfort experi enced in walking on the hardened crust. Again some forty years after the eruption it was visited by scientists and reported to be steaming in many places, and even eighty-seven years after the eruption two columns of steaming vapor were found to be issuing from the crevices. Sometimes the upper crust of such a stream of lava cools so that plants and lichens find pre carious growth on the surface, while a few feet beneath the lava is almost redhot.

SHE WAS SURE FATHER COSGROVE HAD NO SON Mistake of Gatekeeper In Names Calls Down Wrath of Old Woman. Som<s, of these human interest stories, of which the state fair is necessarily pro lific, don't leak out until the fair is a thing of the past. Here is the latest, and it is a true one. An honest old woman was working in a booth in which St. Vincent church was interested. Needless to say, Father Cos grove saw she was furnished with a pass to the fair grounds—good for every day in the week. On Thursday morning the old woman found, when about to pass through the gateway, that she had left her pass at home. "Ticket, madam," was the curt saluta tion of the gateman, as the old woman approached. "Sure an' I've forgot me ticket," she responded, after fumbling through her pockets, "but that's all right. I'm worrk in' for Father Cosgrove." Now the ticket taker heard nothing but the name "Cosgrove," which acted like magic on him, inasmuch as it was the name of the president of the state fair, and likewise the name of President Cos grove's son, the head gatekeeper. "Which Mr. Cosgrove do you want to see, father or son?" politely inquired the gatekeeper. Shaking her fist in the astonished young man's face, the old woman exclaimed: "I'd have ye to know that Father Cos grove has no son, and niver will have." The gatekeeper passed her in. FIGHT FOR MACADAM REALTY HOLDERS IN CROCUS PLACE OPPOSE ASPHALT PAVING AWARD Bids Will be Opened Today for Ex pensive Work, but Non- Residents Will Follow Them to Council —Ninth Street Property Owners Petition for High Priced Surfacing. - Today the board of public works will open bids on street paving and sewer improvements figuring nearly $60,000, the principal one of which is for the proposed paving of Crocus place with asphalt. So intense is the feeling of the prop erty owners over the latter improve ment, they being divided as to the character of the paving material se lected, that it is expected a stiff fight will result when the matter comes be fore the council for final consideration. Non-Residents Protest. Crocus place is among the select and aristocratic residence districts of St. Paul, but much of the property which is unimproved belongs to persons who do not live on the street and they are opposed to the use of asphalt. They want macadam instead, contending that it is cheaper and more lasting. On the other hand, the resident proper ty owners, of which there are about a dozen, desire asphalt and they have made such a vigorous fight so far that their perserverance has been recogniz ed by the board of public works. Among those combating the use of asphalt are the St. Paul Trust company and a number of non-residents and it is expected that their representatives will carry the matter to the council and endeavor to have the award of contracts stopped. The bids for the work will be opened today and will be considered by the assembly at its meet ing Thursday evening. Ask Expensive Improvements. Another big paving improvement, the final order for which will be sent to the two council bodies at their next meeting, is the surfacing of Ninth street, from Summit avenue to Jackson, with asphalt. The cost will not be far short of $50,000. Despite this fact a majority of the property owners are favoring it. Petitions have been filed asking that the improvement be made. WOULD EMBARRASS THE ROUMANIANS Issue of Loan May Be Prevented Until Anti-Jewish Legislation Is Modified. BRUSSELS, Sept. 29.—An agreement will probably be reached between the heads of high finance in Europe to pre vent the issue of any Roumanian loan until the oppressive anti-Jewish legis lation of that country has been modi fied. Such action would embarrass seriously the Roumanian government in the redemption of a large amount of treasury bonds payable in 1904. LONDON, Sept. 2S. —The Roumanian minister to Great Britain, M. Gatargi, denies that Jews in Roumania are sub jected to disabilities different from those imposed upon other foreigners there. He says Jewish immigration is not due to persecution, but to severe agricultural depression. In an editorial on the minister's remarks, the Daily News says: "If that were the case there would be occasion for a grave protest from other nations than the United States and Great Britain; but we are quite certain that the -United States would not have intervened unless it had am ple proofs of its case." LOOK SHARP IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS COMET Prof. Campbell Describes the Location of Perrine's Discovery. SAN JOSE, Cal., Sept. 28.—Prof. W. W. Campbell, of Lick observatory, says: "The comet discovered at Lick ob servatory on Sept. 1, by Prof. C. D. Perrine, has grown steadily brighter, as predicted, until at the present time It is very visible to the naked eye. For the benefit of those who care to ob serve it, I give its approximate posi tion as follows: Sept. 28, very close to the second magnitude star Alpha Cassiopeiae; Sept. 29, about two de grees south of the second magnitude star Beta Cassiopeiae. It then enters upon the milky way and will for sev eral days probably not be so readily detected. On the evening of Oct. 6 it will be about three degrees north of Alpha Cygni. The comet should then be two or three times as bright as it is at the present time. It will continue to move rapidly to the southwest, overtaking the sun early in Novem ber, Not the Only One.

ON STEAMER SHOTS ARE^FIRIED AND PIKE POLES ARE USED n m Attempt of Charles Kinnie, Mate of the Twin City, to Swab Decks of Cyclone With Members of Crew Results Dis astrously—Fight is Fierce and Pro longed. Three river sailors of the steamer* Cyclone and Twin City were seriously injured during a minature naval bat tle, which raged for almost an hour last night at the Jackson street wharf. The injured are: Charles Kinnie, head cut with pike pole. Mike Calahan, severe scalp wound; hit with water pitcher. Andrew Slym, shot in right arm. Kinnie is said to have caused the trouble among the tars. He is acting mate of the Twin City, which is moored close by the Cyclone at the foot of Jackson street. L. B. Leflay, watchman of the Cyclone, claims that Kinnie and a friend boarded his boat looking for trouble, and did everything possible to create a disturbance. It was not until he attacked a man nam ed Hughey that the battle began. Enemy Boards Steamer. According to Leflay, Kinnie crossed the Cyclone's plank about 7 o'clock. He was accompanied by Fred Payne, another member of the Twin City crew. Both appeared, he said, to be under the influence of liquor. Shortly after they arrived Charles Teal, an engineer on the Cyclone, came aboard. He greeted the men and sat down to a table to eat his supper. Kinnie also called for food, but was told to go to his own boat if he wished to eat. He then became abusive and threat ened to "swab the deck" with Leflay, who had refused him his supper. Le flay ordered him from the boat, and protesting, he walked the plank to shore. The crew of the cyclone resumed .their meal, but Kiimie returned with in a few minutes. ' He said that sup per was over on his boat, and asked for something to eat. "If you keep'your mouth shut well get you some grub," said Lefiay. Attack Begins. Kinnie seateM himself on a keg to wait. Hughey and Teal were talking about a proposed trip down the river and Teal, in jdst, snid that he thought he would go to rolling barrels. "You're a healthy nigger," said Hugrhey, "I believe that you are well suited to the position." Kinnie heard Hughey call some one "nigger." He thought the man referred to him. Without waiting to ascertain to whom the name was applied, he dashed from his seat, leaping like a tiger onto Hughey. Before the other man could interfere he felled his man, with a terrific blow, following it with others in quick succession. Mike Calahan, who witnessed the at tack, was the first to come to Hughey's rescue. Calahan no sooner grasped the man than Kinnie picked up a water pitcher and hit Hughey's champion over the head. The blow knocked Cala han to the deck, stunning him and cut ting a gash over his forehead fully two inches in length. Tide of Battle Turns. But before he couW follow up the first assault Calahan was again on his feet. He pounded Kinnie over the head until he begged for mercy. Kinnie promised to cause no further trouble if Calahan would desist. Hughey pulled Calahan from Kinne, and the two men wjere parted. No sooner did Kinnie gain his liberty than he again became quarrelsome. He wanted to square ac counts with Hughey, who had left the boat to avoid an encounter with the man. Starts to Shoot. Kinnie began a search for Hughey and wandered into the engine room in his hunt. There he met Andrew Slym, who had in no way been mixed up in the affray. Without a word of warn ing, Kinnie drew his revolver and com menced firing. One of the bullets hit Slym in the right arm, causing a slight flesh wound. Before he could do any further harm, Watchman Leflay knocked the gun from his hand. He was then eject ed from the boat. Members of the Twin City crew took him to his steam er, in hopes of avoiding further trou ble. Kinnie, acording, to the stories told by the men on the Cyclone, only re mained away from their boat a short time, returning within five minutes, threatening to kill Calahan. Second Boarding Repelled. Calahan was on the wharf, but so soon as he saw Kinnie went aboard the boat. The man who is said to have caused the fight tried to follow him, but, on the gang plank, was stopped by Leflay. "You can't come on board," said the watchman. "Well, I will. I want to get Calahan," responded Kinnie. He then attempted to cross, but just as he stepped on the deck he was fell ed by Calahan, who struck him with a. pike pole. The man was picked up unconscious and taken to the central police station, where Assistant City Physician Cook dressed his injury. He received an ugly cut across the fore head, and his face and head were bruised and lacerated. Although pain fully injured, he is not dangerously hurt. Denies He Started It. Kinnie denied last night that he caused the trouble. He said that the men on the Cyclone had plagued him and taunted him beyond endurance. He says that he struck Hughey be cause the latter called him a vile name. Kinnie also denies having used a re volver.

The Christian work commit tee held a conference yesterday after noon at which it was decided to make no change in the nature of the services. The committee met to consider how it would be possible to secure greater attendance at the meetings. Enter tainment features were suggested, but the plan to couple either an intellectual or entertainment programme with the religious services was abandoned, as the managers thought that it would be entirely improper for a Sunday meet ing.

THE PARK SEASON ENDS FINE WEATHER BRINGS OUT LARGE CROWD FOR LAST LOOK Public Is Shabbily Handled by Street Car Company, When, in Anticipation of Speedy Advent of Prohibitive Conditions, It Seeks the Public Greens. The last Sunday in September is, unofficially, the last Sunday in the city parks in this clime. Yesterday hap pened to be that day, and the people gladly took advantage of it. For the sun shone. As the day advanced and the rain that was confidently expected failed to come down, the most skeptical citi zens took heart and ventured forth with their families. They also took their umbrellas. Farewell visits were paid to pic turesque Como park, to Wildwood and to Fort Snelling. The inviting sun enticed thousands of people from their homes, and the street cars managed to convey them to nature's beauty spots. Como park never looked prettier, Wildtvood was never more enticing, and the scenery on the banks of the Mississippi at Snelling never more picturesque, tinged as the folfage is with autumnal colors. It was an ideal autumn Sunday, for. which the people were abundantly grateful. Car Service Noticeably Poor. The failure of the street railway company to comfortably accommodate its patrons yesterday was conspicuous. The street car that was not outra geously overcrowded was the excep tion. If an accurate count of all the pas sengers carried by the company in the Twin Cities were to be had, it would show that one-third of them never en joyed the luxury of sitting down in a street car. The straps did good service on the interurban line. It was impossible to get a seat on one of these cars unless it was boarded at the very starting point. Detroiter Is Indignant. A middle-aged man, clinging to a strap on an interurban car that left Minneapolis about 2 o'clock, remarked to a friend suspended from an ad joining piece of leather: "I cannot help but admire the thrift of this street railway concern.
