C, i tin T d URSDAY, DEC. 29, 1887. ruw -- I lk The Legislature adjourned on last Mc Saturday morning about 4 o'clock. bej About two hundred and fifty new laws plk were placed on the statute book, besides ret quite a number of joint resolutions. We pa will, with our next issue, possibly, place an before our readers an outline of the more the important measures passed by the Legis- ha lature. Of course a large number of Ki these laws are of a private and local for nature, and do not affect the public at sei lirge. With every session of the Legis- by lature we are more and more conyinced na that there is too much legislation. With this issue the HERALD & NEWS closes another year of its history, and completes another volume. The present prdprietors have had charge of the paper di( nearly nine months, and our expecta- dio tions have been more than realized. We have labored hard to make it a first-class eo as newspaper, and that will be our sole aim in the future. And at the same time, we shall ever strive to do the right as we Ho conceive it. The editor will strive in the future, as be has in the past, to do his duty. IIe has no axe to grind, and does not care to turn the grindstone. ha The old year is drawing rapidly to a tr< close. Let us all enter upon the new tr, year with a full determination to do the c right to ourselves and to our fellowmen. ou .-_ _ca Terrible Snfferings of Helpless 31ex- liv leans In the Earthquake Region. an New York Evening Sun. te NOGALES, A. T., December 24.- w Costerlitsky, who is in charge of the its National Frontier Police, at Bavispe, was in town last night. He painted Jr a woful picture of the present condi tion of the earthquake sufferers. He p said that the Mexican Government d had quite recently sent them plenty m of provisions, but that they had an 0! insufficient quantity of wearing ap. co parel to keep themselves warm. tic Their huts on Refuge Hill, which are fir constructed of ocatilla poles and at grass, offer but slight protection from in the weather. Winter has set in with at sleet and snow, and the mercury has th registered lower so far than for many w previous years. M The few houses which were con- ki structed on the site of the destroyed N * city about a month ago have been th shaken to their foundations. At most the survivors have but enough t clothing to cover their nakedness. Their sufferings are aggravated by continued cold weather. Appre- P at hensions are felt that pneumoniaa * will set in. If it does it will make a clean sweep. th Many ask, -Why don't the people i leave there ?" I * Because all they liave in the world stI is in that vicinity. Family after fain- tv - ily were cultivating the suburbs of fe Bavispe before last May, and making TI good livings, and they stay there, er expecting that the quakings will is cease. It is true, the majority have H ~gone, but one most consider that all p they possessed wais household effects. *Some relief should be furnished th the inhabitants of Refuge Hill at once. It is not an easy task to de pict their sufferings. Imagine a hilln covered with snow and dotted with * over one hundred hnts, in which, on ac a: count of their inflammability, no fires B are burned. In them are upward of M 150 men, women and children, buried an in hay, with old rags covering their pe shivering bodies. The earth quivers, and like so many rats from their an holes, pour out the cotton and calico be clothed, barefooted people expecting at to see the earth yawn and swallow de their hill. For hours they stand in without thoir huts, with the thermom- M: eter at zero, fearful lest more shocks will come. . br The past month has been one of increasing terror to all. Some days su the recurring trambling would not R be experienced, hut just so sure as a. day elapse witAiout them the follow.-a ing day a succession of s>ocks, so ho strong as to make standing imnposs.i ble, would follow. While there havet been no new rifts opened in tLe earth by tbem, heavy boulders have an been displaced from the mountains th< and rolled thundering the valleys.; rej To this horror add a small band of for murdering Apaches, .and you will an have some idea of the condition of we affairs at Bavispe. In the past three "d weeks four men h'tve been buried yie who were murdered by them. At AN present a detachment of troops is 313 encamped near Refuge Hill. An es cort from this body is detailed daily to protect the wood choppers who furnish wood to the camp. Three bucks, among whom is the in celebrated Elias, the half-breed, and of four squa-es have been seen. It is a I positively known that they escaped sio at the time Geronimo was captured, Ca and have been depredating ever Lo since, although they have been con chased into the United St ates several in~ times, the It is the opinion of many that the In earthquakes will continue at Bavispe lisi eintil a volcano bursts forth. A gen. bon tlemnan who has made a study of ele volcanoes and their origin in Central America is pronounced in the opin- sot -ion that it will not be long be.fore bo: one of the mountains in that vicinity :val will be vomiting fire. Ch Dr. Goodfellow, of Tombstone, of 1 who is in the employ of the United ets States Government, leaves Magda- nas lena for Bavispe to-morrow with Col. Kosteriitzky to continue his scienti- A fic researches. The Mexican scien tific commission, which thoroughly 2 investigated the earthquake country Ed~ in August, is preparing an exhaustive amni report at Hermosilla of their re- Lie searches. The report already covers pre several hundred pages of legal cap, it4 and is not yet cotmpleted. It is ex- triv *pected that the copy will be placed was in the hands of the printer on March exp 1.

READING, PA., Dec. 25.-On last' Sunday over 5.800 loaded coal ears made up into fifty-three trains passed M through Reading, from the Schuylkill A. coal region, for Port Richmond and Ye other points south of this city. To- ter day not a single car was moved and Ao trade is practically dead. During tit this forenoon over one hundred rail- ' ve roaders. whose trains were run on the sidlings ndrth and south of this city, aib passed through Reading bound for d their homes, which are mostly in the th coal regions. Orders to strike were S received early this morning and as on far as the railroad crews were con cerned, were promptly obeyed. Im- wE misediately thereafter General Mana- m' ger McLeod telegraphed orders that re every engine attached to trains lying fi. on sidings should be housed and i guarded, and this was promptly done, n the engines being run to Reading, se Pottstown and other points. The f company employs at its shops in this be city about 2,000 men. but they will b not go out, as they claim that they h are not included in the order of the te Knights to strike; but the leaders in this city expect such an order very b soon, so as to more effectually crip- bh ple the company. A meeting of the h Rail-roaders' assembly was field here to-day, and, while no definite action was taken, the prevailing sentiment bi was in favor ot standing by the strike. re The agents of the Reading com- pl pany to day actively canvassed this sc section for men to fill the places of bE strikers t.nd enable them to resume d< moving trains on Monday morning. w Master Workman Hawman, of this f city, to-day sent out a telegram notifying all assemblies of the de cision to strike.

Whiting. by Colonel Robert Ingersoll, being ant intimate friend of the family, was in- cc vited to say a few words over the n< flower covered bier on the eve of its a removal to the west for interment. et In compliance with this request, Col. w Ingersoll made one of those eloquent M1 utterances for which he is celebrated. th He said : Mr FRIENDs : Again we stand in I the shadow of the great mystery-a ci shadow as deep and dark as when di the tears of the first mother fell upon I the p)allid face of her lifeless babe-_ m a mystery that has never yet been w solved. We have met in the pres ence of the sacred dead, to speak a word of praise, of hope, of consola tion. Another life of love is now a ce blessed memory--a lingering strain d( of music. The loving daughter, the Ju pure and consecrated wife, the sin.. ot cere friend, who with tender faithful- -$ ness discharged the duties of a life, p1 has reached her journey's end. in A braver, a more serene, a more c chivalric spirit--clasping the loved su and by them clasped-never passed Co from life to enrich thbe realm of death. it No field of war ev-er witnessed great- th er fortitude, more perfect, smiling ini courage, than this poor, weak and arr helpless woman displayed upon the bed of pain and death. Iler life was to gentle and her death sublime. She ce loved the good and all the good loved do her. But there is this consolation: in She can never suffer more; she can never feel again the chill of death; never part again from those she loves. w IIer heart can break no more. She ric has shed her last tear and upon her se. stainless brow bas been set the won- c drous seal of everlasting peace. be When the angel of death-the vi masked and voiceless--enters the door of home, there come with her all the daughters of compassion, and of Love and Hope remain forever. You are about to take this dear - dust home--to the home of her girl. Mi hood, and to the place that was once wa my home. You will lay her with na neighbors that I have loved, that are r now at rest. You will lay her where up my father sleeps. O Lay her in the-earth, cai And from her fair and unpolluted Let violets spring.

Her father thought she had en only frightened by the report, it when he gathered her in his arms saw blood oozing from her left mple. A glance toward the win w revealed a round, jagged bullet >le ti rough a pane of the glass, and observed at once that bis daughter Ad been shot. TILE ASSASSIN SLINKS AWAY. Immediate search was made in the tek yard contiguous to the dining ow, and the surroundings were ex ored. but to no purpose. The per n who had fired the shot was not to seen, and whether the deed was )ne intentionally or otberwise, it as evident that its perpetrator had ~d. A PROBABLE THEORY. The occurrence was reported to lice headquarters. and Chief Fick n was soon on hand, accompanied Officer Hennies. They madt vig ous search, and came t'> the con usion that the shot had been fired om the window of an adjoining ,sidence. Diligent search by the )lice showed that the bullet had 'azed a. bush on the inside of the ljoining lot, just inside the fence pparating the two places, and rectly in a line between the window the two houses. Mrs. Shepherd, a idow lady, livee in the adjoining use, and she has two young sons, ho, it is supposed, must have shot om a window at a sparrow in the ashes, one of which was grazed by ie bullet. Inquiry at Mrs. Shep ?rd's residence, however, threw no ght on the shooting, as the boys ny having shot from the window, id others in the house say they new nothing about the doings of te boys. The boys nevertheless ipped oft and it is said they had a nall rifle and went hunting. LITTLE HOPES OF RECOVERY. Immedi'ately after the tragedy, a essenger was dispatched for Dr. aylor, and that physician was soon y the bedside of the wounded lady. e probed into the wound to the pth of four inches and removed vo pieces of buliet. The bullet took most a parallel course from its en ance, and the doctor pronounces e wound a very serious one. The ly hopes of the lady are based by r. Taylor on the amount and uration of the inflammation. rThe ulet was evidently from a 32-calibre istol or rifle. Dr. Atkinson, the father of Mrs. [ore, had just arrived in the city to >end Christmas with his daughter ad to join Mrs. Atkinsoni, who came >wn several days ago. IECK FOR A THOU:MAND) DOL LARN. r. W.
