Daily arrivals from the region of Sonora, on the Colo rado river, report the most wonderful changes in the topography and appearance of the country, caused by the re cent earthquake. The damxge done was principally to stockmen, who have lost many a head of cattle, the Locopah Indians are heavy losers. The In dians predict that another earthquake is liable to occur soon. Lerdo, (Sonora, Mex.) Aug. 11. This point, which is seventy miles south of Yuma, was the center of the great earthquake of July 30. On Thursday morning premonitory rumblings gave notice of the coming storm, the earth trembled underfoot; them came mighty crash, as though subterranean artillery by the thousand pieces had been discharged. The people rushed from their houses at the first (signal, to be thrown flat on their faces. The adobe houses just vacated wormed to pieces, were ground together and then tumbled in ruins. The air was filled with clouds of dust. For a few brief seconds the day of judgment seemed to reign. The tern fied people cautiously rose to their feet and moved about horrified to hnd that where before had been solid ground now yawned cracks and crevices apparently without botton.'. Hills had slid from their foundations and occupied new stations. The very river itself had disappeared. Where before flowed a shallow, sluggish stream of ochre was now onlv a channel of mud. This did not, however, remain long and the river gradually reappeared, but yet in a diminished volume. Reports brought from the head of the gulf indicate a tidal wave of unusual height and force, Owing to the country being sparsely settled no damage to life occurred so far as known, and there was little property to damage. Lerdo has been for years chiefly a relic of blasted hopes. 1 he recent eccentric millionaire Thomas H. Blythe, in connection with Gen. Andrade of Mexico, came into possession of a vast stretch of country in the state of Sonora border ing the Colorado river and commencing The at the American boundary line. extent of the grant was about 300,000 acres. The conditions were that the country must be settled by the coloniza tion of a certain number of families. The soil is rich bottom land and adapted to the growth of most of the productions of the southern states, such as tobacco, corn, cotton, etc. The textile plant known as wild hemp is grown on thousands of acres. During Blythe's lifetime a few hogs of fine breed were placed on the grant,Jand have increased so greatly that they are now estimated to number 3,000. They roam at will along the river bottom and have become so savage as to be dangerous to man. They live chiefly on the wild potato, which grows the size of a walnut. The present owner has a man catching The Colorhogs and curing the meat. ado river overflows its banks annually, and consequently the country is naturally irrigated. The death of Blythe in 1883 left his Sonora colony scheme in its infancy w'th very littled accomplished. His interest reverted to his partner, Gen. The latter, by the payment of heavy expenses and bounties induced fifty families, mostly from San Francisco, to emigrate and settle on his immense grant, but he discovered, when too late that he had not secured the material which makes empries. Notwithstanding the fact that everything was furnished them. Not many months elapsed until they had nearly abandoned Lerdo and found their way back to Yuma and eventually to San Francisco. Leaving Yuma, for the first few miles, ranches are scattered along the river bank, then a long stretch of desert, and finally come to the fertile lands of Lerdo, after two days travel. Between the river and mountains is the country upon which the wrath of the Almighty seems to have rested. The crust of the earth is unsteady and unsubstantial, volcanoes spew out mud and otherB rain boiling water, and still others send forth a thousand hissing jets of steam. Slight earthquake shocks are so frequent usually as to be hardly noticeable. The slight rumbling of a passing tremor may cause the stranger to make a casual remark, or perhaps be strong enough so that the pious Mexican will cross himself and mutter a prayer.

The Presbyterian mission was searo ed by an official while a mob of excited natives waited outside. The mob broke into the Catholic mission, but was put out by the occupants, Mr. Talmant holding the rioters at bay with a revolver. The authorities finally sent militia to the scene, who guarded the town all night. On July 4 news came by telegraph from the southern part of the province of serious riots. In this section the Catholics have large property interests, many fine Sevchurches and a large orphanage. eral of these have been destroped by the mob. At Fechue a few rioters raked the outhouses and sacked churches and preachers' houses, but did not burn the buildings. It is learned that the or phanage was not touched. Soldiers have been ordered out to protect tne tvonnsn property. The town is now left without a gunboat and the feeling of uneasiness prevails. A telegram from liensten states that the French and British min isters in China have opened negotiations with Tsunirli i amen in regard to their claim for indemnity on account of the recent riots. The sum claimed is six million five hundred taels. Advices from Yokohama give further particulars of the sinking of the steamer Tamaye Msru. and the drowning of two hundred passengers.

Five thousand eight hundred and seventy feet of railroad track have been laid this week, and work is progressing on the foundation of the electric exhibit building, and the horticulture and administration buildings. Director General Davis promises to hand the board of control of the appointments of chiefs of the horticultural and machinery department this week. It is the popular impression that John W. Samuels, of Clinton, Ky., will receive the appointment as horticultural chief. Representatives of the state commissions of Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan today rejected the plan of putting the four slate exhibits under one roof. Herbert Baxter Adams has declined the position of chief of the department of Liberal Arts because of the press of other duties and John Hopkins university.

At today's session of the International Geographical Con gress, a resolution introduced providing for the preparation of a map of the earth on the scale of one one millionetb, and the appointment of an international committee to determine the principles upon which the preparation of the map shall proceed. In connection with the congress there is being held a geographical exhibition at which all nations except Great Britain and the Netherlands are represented. Much disappointment was expressed at the failure of America to send the great collection of maps recently on exhibition in New York, which were a subject of admiration by a large number of geographers for the minuteness of details of "the earth's figuration which they set forth.

A eickness which caused Miss Barth's detention in hospital was referred to by the partiea hounding her in the most cruel manner. June ii she received a letter which hands to she put in detectives' learn its source, and in the epistle she was charged with murder and other crimes and ordered to leave the neighborhood and city or the writer would make it dangerous for her aud her family. The letter was signed by "Missouri White Caps." Miss Barth did not discover who wrote it, though she said on receiving it that she felt quite positive she knew, but would not mention the party's name until she could prove her suspicions correct. The most harrowing chapter in this systematic persecutions was told by Mrs. Barth, mother of the girl today. The name of a Broadway line conductor still employed on the road is promt-centlmentioned. He is a married cnan but it is said that heendeavored to force nis attentions upon Miss Barth against Mrs. barth her expressed wishes. claims that because her daughter persistently refused to asssciate with hire or recognize him he sent his young daughter to the Barth residence to call the young lady names. This was testified to by several witnessess. On one Miss Barth, incensed by the repeated insulta of the girl, struck her and the next evening she was met in alley back of her residence by the man referred to. who beat her about the face and neck uitil she bled at the mouth, nose and ears. Mrs. Barth, the mother, said nothing of this assault to her hunbandorson for fear of a tragedy, and this, with many more stories of outrage and abuse, was heard by the father and the brother for the first time this morning. It was also asserted by the family and neighbors that the enemies of Miss Barth, some of whom were made known today, went among the ueighlwrs and told many scandalous stories about the young lady, which r lused the neighbors to shun and insult her every time she appeared on the street. This persecution was carried on for six or eight months. Driven to desperation by these taunts and slanders, and scorned by those to whom she tried to explain or deny them, the girl decided to take her life, and last several Sunday evening swallowed ounces of rat poison. It only had the effect of sickening her, and, seeing herself recover, Miss Barth went to a neighboring drug 6tore, where the clerk without question sold her two ounces of arsenic. She sat in the garden until her parents had retired and then swallowed the dose, which was enough to kill many persons. This also sickened her and she vomited the greater part of it, but enough remained in her system to cause her cieath Monday night. Although the phys'cians made a desperate attempt to force a stomach pump into the young woman's mouth she fought them off, and in her grim resolutian to die succeeded in preventing all attempts to save her life until she became too weak to resist, and it was then too late. She died Monday morning. A verdict of suicide was rendered this morning. One letter sent to the virturlly murdered girl is signed "Missouri White Caps" and reads thus; June 20. Miss Barth: You need not think for one minute that people are fools. We all know what was the matter with you. This is the third murder you have committed on your own offspring. If you have the least bit of sense you will leave here. If you don't you will have to stand the consequences. If you are not gone in thirty days it will be the worse for you. Missouri White Caps.
