Another violent earthquake is reported in the San Jose mountains, forty miles south of Fort Huachuca, in Sonora, and General Forsyth has sent an exploration party to investigate. A party has just returned from Santa Cata-lina mountains and reports the canyons full of water, brought to the surface by the earthquake. This is a great boom for this region as there are thousands of acres of good farming land at the base of these moiuitains which only need water to make thei valuable. Another good effect of the earthquake is the opening of two large srold veins which were discovered in the Sauta Catalina mountains at a point where the whole 6ide of the mountain slid down. Several prospecting parties left to-day to locate claims.

Vincenne. Mav V. During the Bfternoon session of the Lutheran Evan gelical synod at Boonville, Philip Oyer, a wealthy citizen of Mount Auburn, Cincinnati, who was present as a delegate, arose to make a few remarks. lie bed scarcely risen from bis sent when he was noticed to stagger and the next second fell on the floor dead. A physician wn called, and pronounced hi case apoplcx.v.

The remains were hurriedly prepared for burial and ordered shipped at once to the home of the deceased. Ten hour after the supposed denth the remains arrived here by special train from Kvans-ville. John Kuter. the baggage-master, assisted oy Clark Har, transferred the corpe from an Eransrille fi Tone Haute train. Harvey declare that he hcar-l the dead man kick araiu.t tho lid of the box three or four times.

Mr. Kustcr said to your correpondent: "I have handled more coffins than any man around this depot, and I flatter myself that I'm not fuperstitiouR. The sensation that I experienced in lilting the coffin from one, car to another was the same as lifting something having life. The coffin seemed to be alive. There was no dead weight about it.

When lite has lelt a body it is all dead weight. We only had a few minute in which to transfer the remains, and it was augeested by some of the boys that the box be opened and an examination be made of the corpse. To this a strenuous objection was entered by an unknown gentleman who accompanied the remains. Depot Master Mechlin telegraphed from here to Washington, requesting that thecoma on arrival there be opened and an examination made of the body, bnt there, a here, the man who had charge of the corpse inter poed. Word was sent from Washington to the chief of police at Cincinnati, and 1 understand from the night operator here that ou the coffin being opened the man was lying on his face.

His shroud was torn and there were other indications' going to show that Oyer had come to life after having been placed in the ROCK ISLAND THIEVES. A Cane Coder ArreU In Chirajgo With Oae Exception. Cbicaoo, May 9. For several months past the freight cars of the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific Railway Company have been plundered, the thieves taking every thing possible from grain to general merchandise.

Detectives were set to work and soon discovered that the robberies were committed in the Town of Lake and that a large gang were engaged in tae work. On the night of April 1) the detectives mounted guard on a train of merchandise standing near Forty-seventh 'street, and were rewarded by the arrival of the thieves, who proceeded to break open a car load of hides. The officers permitted them to get well along and then endeavored to capture them. A stock train was backing down the track, however, and as the plunderers leaped to the ground this train cut them off completely from all the officers save one, William Allen, who instantly opened fire. The fire was promptly returned and a blow from a car link upon the lead stretched him out.

At this moment another detective, who had succeeded in swinging himself through the moving train, came upon the scene and dis charged his pistol at the fugitives. He was almost able to overtake one whom he recognized to be a burglar named Fred Kovser. Since that time the Rock Islaud oftteoi have been quietlv at work and have dis covered a pottion of the gang in the persons of Pat McCaulsy. Edward Mushier, Joe atoms. Fred Keyser and Robert Johnson.

all of them bad character. McCaulev, K. Mushier and Morris are safe in hand and to-dav Robert Johnson was arrested, leav ing but one unaccounted for. POISONING A PREACHER. A rtollnesa 1'aMor Gets a Io of Arsenic In a Of ink of Water.

LorisviLLE. May 9. The particulars of an attempt made to kill Rev. J. W.

Max well, pastor of the Holiness Band Church, at Campbell and Jefferson streets, leaked jut to-dav. At the opening of th services several nights ago, after prayer had been concluded. Dr. Maxwell arose to give out a hymn. Before doing so he picked up the pitcher which stood on the altar beside bim.

and, pouring cut a glass of lemonade. drank it. In an instant, almost, he felt ter rible pains in the stomach, and, being a physician, he realized at once that he had been poisoned with arsenic. Not wishing to create any confusion. informed the congregation that ae was sick, and stepped down out cf the pulrit.

Calling several of the deacons to his side, he hurriedly informed them of what had happened and be was quickly taken toGies' drug store and hydrate of magnesia was given bim aa an antidote. This prompt action saved ms life. After taking an emetic a coupe was called and he was taken to his home on the Shelbyville pike, near the Blind Asylum. By the time he reached home he was un conscious and for two days and nights his family watched by his bedside. At the end of that time the effects of the deadly poison began to work off, and it was known that he would live.

Yesterday, for the first time, he was able to be out, but is still very weak. This is the fourth attempt that has been made to kill the reverend gentle man. SEISMOLOGY, An Austrian Professor on the Recent American Earthquakes. ViESKA, May 9. The American earth quakes were followed by a slight shock at Aussee, near Salzberg, yesterday, but whether the events have any connection with one another seems doubtfuL I have interviewed Prof.

Hues, of Vienna University, who has mado a special study of American seismology. He has received no direct information from America, but thinks the last earthquakes are nothing more than a prolongation of previ ous orthcgrapnic movements in tne so-called Great Basin, fully ob served and described by Israel Russell and Gilbert. The region between the eastern slope of tho Rocky mountains and Salt Lake City notoriously abounds in faults or fissures, extending several hun dred miles north and south. He assumes that the earthquakes are caused by a sim ple sinking in of the earth's surface along certain of these faults. The professor smiles at the idea that the dates of such disturbances can be foreseen; though rash people may predict them, he thinks there no particular cause for alarm.

In chatting about Western political phases, as seen in his State. Governor Osborne said, "Oar prohibition la-v is pretty well lived up to; there are fewer violations than would be expecteJ.

The New York TtflMR, which baa been, in times past, rather soft on Commissioner 8parks, has begun to soar on him. and prints a half column of aarage onslaught.

It first chargea him with violating crvil service rules by taking his clerks from other bureaus ox the Interior Department after he has ascertained them to be Democrats, thus cheating the Civil Service Commission. It follows this up with the following: "Sparks has undoubtedly been an honest and useful officer, but his usefulness would be greater if he were less egotistical and had a better memory. If he were not possessed with the idea that the head of the Land Office la carrying the Govern ment upon bis shoulders be would do welL It would be better if he could avoid repeat- leg one story to the friendly visitors who call upon him. But he signally lacks the faculty of forgetting bis own story, and in variably insists, co matter what subject may he introduced, in going back a great distance to make a circuitous route. lie has apparently co gift of concentration and no taste for brevity.

It is unfortunate, tor bis reminiscences are apt to "obfuscate" and fatigue his listener, and he eoes away forgetting the point he set light upon, and perhaps with half-formed resolutions not to go again. No one ever tells the Land Commissioner bis faults, fearing the truth may provoke his wrath." SCOTT PIJPAKAfteS TEE COMMEftCS LAW. WaSHisfiToy, May ft The tarttimony ot William F. Scott, of Fecnsyrvsnia, has been added to the evidence of the character of the Inter-State Commerce bill. Scott voted for the bill in the House, he says, because public clamor for it was so great that be saw no other way te satisfy the people than to pass the bill He says that it has bad an injurious effect all over the country.

Of one matter he says "One effect of the law has bees to shut dawn about the only iron manufacturing establishment in Iowa. It ia a barbed wire mill, which waa started aa a co-operative investment by the grangers. They secured freight ratea which are known tn the West as milling tariffs by which they were permitted to bring their raw saterial from the East, hold it over for the manipulation at their factories and then send it on to points of destination further West, in the manufactured shape at the single through rate from the sea-board to the farthest Western point. It was a great advantage to them, and a delegation of tha grangers have been in Washington asking the Commission to suspend the operations of the law in their behalf, but the Commission decided it could not do so, and the factory must shut down."
