In apeak ing of the utility of the National Guard, the Governor said that a little over a month ago it looked to those in authority very much as though the servioes of the more than 8,000 disciplined men would soon be needed. Inquiry had come from Washington as to the time that would be required to concentrate Pennsylvania's troops at Lake Erie in case of trouble with England in regard to the fisheries dispute. The reply was sent back that twenty-four hours would be all that would be necessary to concentrate the troops at the Lake or at anv point on the border of the State. Governor Beaver added that happily the prospective emergency had pawed, and thi* "" the reason he had mentioned the matter. A extolling the City Grays as one of the lead if not the leading company in the Guard, Governor declared the exposition open i bespoke for it the liberal benefactions of public.

Twentyseven pereons were also killed at Oputu by falling build lugs. Many persons were injured at Oremi.la and Gusabar, which towns woe almost completely destroy.

A man who has returned from the Santa Cantallia moutiteins' reports-the can6ns full of water. The water was 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 mountains which only need water to make them valuable. Another good effect of the earthquake is the opening of two large gold veins, which ware discovered in the Santa Cantallia mountains at a point where the whole side of the mountain slid down.

In the midst of the baptising, pressure against the railings was so great that it gave way and about 100 people were precipitated into tho river. In the descent they struck the skills,, and some ten or fifteen of these were overturned and their occupants thrown into the water. Indescribable soenes followed.

As the railing went down the people in the skiffs and on shore were panic stricken, and for a few minutes could do nothing.
