Johnson, the Avoca breaker, of the Brie Co., which it purchased seven months ago from the Avoca Coal Co. was destroyed by tire this morning. The washcry, which was close by, was also destroyed. After hard fighting the Avoca fire company and the fire fighting brigade of the colliery stopped the tire along the trestlins, within 30 feet of the shaft tower. In order to insure the safety of the tower the remainder nf the trefitllnfr was dynamited at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The loss has not been officially estimated, but it will reach probably $"i0.000.

Fowler, Ind., Jan. 19.—A disastrous wreck occurred near here on the Big Four at 2.30 o'clock this morning, and it Is reported that twenty-five persons are dead and forty Injured, of whom twenty-five will die. The entire train gine to last coach was burned. Part of the freight train was also burned. A relief train from Lafayette, which look up physicians from here, was on the scene an hour after the wreck was first reported. Later a train with Dr. John Oliver, surgeon of the Big Four, and officials of the road, arrived from Indianapolis. By this time the work of rescue was well under way. The reports make .no mention of further earthquakes, and the fires ail have been put out. This action was taken after :ui excited debate. Mi', l-dftauer (N.

Kington, Jan. 19.*-The awful devas' tation caused by the earthquake bei comes mure apparent as time passes. Without u warning the earth began ' to shake and tremble at 3:30 Monday i afternoon. The shocks, which e.lme from the westward, lasted exactly thlrj ty-six seconds. The whole city rocked like a ship in a choppy sea, and build I ings reeled and fell. Eastward a dense I cloud of dust r;Dse and enveloped King ' ston in semidarkness. I 'Pile shocks were most destructive ! along the harbor front, where build■ along entire streets were leveled. Crowds of frightened, shrieking people streamed northward toward the race course, hundreds with head* and bodied cut und bruised, streaming with | blood. Those who escaped with slight j Injury reported that huge numbers of j persons were buried under tl;e fallen j stores and tenements. I As the dust lifted, pillars of smoke I arose In Harbor street, near the Parish j church, and shortly afterward flames j shot into the sky. It was then perceived that tire would complete the work of the earthquake. In half an hour the flames wen* spreading from block to block in the business section. The tire department was unable to j stay their course owing to the inade! Ciuate supply of water, the earthquake j having broken the mains. Fortunately a northwest wind was blowing at the time, which confined tktD conflagration to the southern portion of ciu# city. The i tire raged all night and ultiinately i spent its force Tuesday forenoon, j A remarkable Incident of the earth| quake lias just come to light. An Knglish clerk in a store was buried under falling walls following the earthquake of Monday, and over this for many hours great tires swept. Wednesday the clerk was dug out alive. Ills Injuries are not severe. After passing through the terror of earthquake and fire the city now is threatened with total destruction by mud. Rivers of black mud are slowly forming and spreading through the streets. Several of the most important thoroughfares already are blocked. It seems as if the earth's crust tip and down the coast for a distance of five miles is rent and broken. Slight earthquake shocks are frequent, and In .many spots along the water front there is a slow subsidence of the land. The great system of forts commanding the approach to the harbor at Port Itoyal are now lost in floods of mud. The forts first were submerged in the sea, but mud fairly boiled out ot thp bowels of the earth, covered the former site of the batteries and tainted the sea for a mile and a half from the shore. Attention whs first turned to the Injured, many of whom were pinned underneath the wreckage and being burned to death. At least half a dozen lost their lives in this horrible manner. The first relief train with the injured started back from Lafayette at 8 o'clock this morning. The wreckage caught fire and passengers were pinned under the ruins, and, unable to escape, they were roaster to death. The train Is known as th0 Queen City Special, and carrieg n day coach, from Chicago, Cincinnati, and a sleeper from Chicago to Indianapolis.:is:ng the salaries of the members of con Kress. The passenger train, running at high speed, crashed into the rear af the freight. Indianapolis, Ind„ Jan. 19.—Gener- General Superintendent Houghton, of thft Big Four Railroad gave out the following statement: The tire was discovered about 10 o'clock this morning, and within an hour the breaker was a total loss. It burned on until 1 o'clock, when nothing was to be seen of it but cinders, twisted machinery and the foundation avails. The washery did not take fire until after the breaker had been enveloped in finmes. The firemen made n strong effort to save it. hut were Besides Its intrinsic value the burning of the breaker will entail no loss to the company. Inspector Johnson ordered it shut down permanently on Thursday. The company disregarded his order and work was commenced yesterday but he insisted on Its abandonment and the permanent shutdown was ordered to take place after yesterd:Hy. The breaker and shaft employed about 2T.0 hands in all. Thi' coal that was formerly taken out of the shaft will be hauled underground to Law shaft and prepared at Central breaker, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. which will start up about the first of the month after a shut down of ten months. during One of the cable grams is as follows inn lea Gillette's Tongutf 31 ia.
