Many houses in Tseihigwara and Shi- kiya, which are situated close to the Kerne- nagawa were carried away, and many lives lost. The buildings of the Kumano Shrine, except one or two small temples were swept away, but the sacred image was Raved. Accorditig to a report from Jeninn in Higashi alurogari, abeat one-fourth of the buddines (over 500) and 100person were swept teway. The Ilikawga river rose 28 feet, and villages close to the river were flooded. About 150 'muffs were washed away and many persons perished. Seventy- eight houses and the Miwake police station at Shemin were carried away. Owing to landaliaes close to the source of the Hidakiwaga vast numbers of trees are uprooted and swept upon the fields, where several thousands are now lying. About 1,200 houses of the vil- lage close to the Tomitagawa were swept away and over 500 persons were engulfed. According to investigations made at Wake- yamo up to Ang. 26th tbe number of houses carried away in Nishi-Murogari was 1,092, while 508 others were demolished and 440 were damaged. The number of deaths -there was 863. Other villages suffered much, and the number of dead cannot be accurately determined, but for the province of Kii it will not be below 10,000. Bloated bodies and wreckage cover the fields for miles, and it will be months before the survivors can proceed with the work. The lose in money is estimated at $6,000,000. Relief has been sent to the ruined district, but the suffering is intense and in the out- lying districts many will die from starva- tion. The same rain which ruined the western part of the Province of Kii by flood, also wrought a most similar disaster on the eastern section of the same Province. The rivers rose rapidly and the people in the neighborhood of Amanogawa, fearing an inunde.tion made preparations for the emergency. While they were thus em- ployed the MOUNTAINS SUDDENLY CIIMIBZED AWAY, obstructing communication between Tara jido, Mara and Sakamoto Biwa, and the waters in the rivers which rose in conse- quence covered the houses in Tenjido Mura, the people fleeing to the temple on an elevated pieoe of ground.

Two weeks ago he left home, reterniutt yeater. day. They had :mother quarrel this morn. bag, in the course of which Hopkins pulled a revolver and ebot his wife dead. Thio occurred on the floret floor of their boom. The frenzied man then rushed to the ehtrd story, where hie mother.halaw was, and abet her, too, killiug her instantly. Hop - Wine afterward left tbe house and went to a livery stable, where he attempted to kill hinutelf, firing two shote at hie bead with hie revolver, neither doing much damage, however'beyond ploughing a couple of grooves in the top of his skull. He con- feeaed to killing his wife and her mother to Dr. Pierce, who pronounced him out of &Alger. Jealousy and a belief in the faith- lesenese ot his wife are the supposed rem - sons that incited Hopkine to commit the crime.

This was followed by the mounds of timbers crashiug and yielding to the immense power of the avalanche, and the shouting and serearoing of men, women and children in all the agent) of deepidr.

A New Orleans despatch says: The in- vestigation by the State officials and par- ties interested in State securities continues to develop new cases of trend every day. In eddition to the $303,600 of consolidated bonds npon which interest payments have bean stopped, and many of which (presum- ably all) have been surreptitiously putupon the market, instead of beingcancelled, there have been discovered in private hands a number of 4 per cent. " constitutional " bonds tbat are clearly an over -issue made in fraud. The highest legal issue of the 5100 series of these bonds is No. 200, yet numbers at least as high as 242 are out- standing; and of the $500 aeries, the legal limit of which is No. 30, bonds as high as No. 56 are afloat. Opinions differ as to whether ex -State Treasurer Burke ia to blame for this state of affairs. Yacht and Pleasure Party Lost. A Cleveland, 0. despatch says: The steam yacht Leo left Loraine for this port on Sunday afternoon, having on board John B. Tante, J. D. Lawler, T. P. Ritter, Benjamin Kline, S. D. Knight, D. A. Law- ler, Capt. Sam Root, Fred Pelow and an engineer from Detroit, name unknown. Nearly all of them we e prominent and well-known business men of Loraine. The yachtwas a small one, and had just been purohased at Detroit for a550. She en- countered a heavy sea on Sunday night, and -was probably boat with all on board near Rooky River. Nothing was learned of the yaoht until this morning, when the bodies of Ritter and Lawler were found by the life-saving crew floating in the lake. The remaining bodies are being searched for.

So great is the mass ot material which bare to be removed that the Allan Steamship Company's and other business houses whose eetabliehments are west of the elide are ocoupying temporary offices in the eastern part of thelower town. The work of searching the mina is goiny, on elowly, though a large force of men is engaged in the labor. Tile shipplog office in theDeminionGoveruraentbuildinghas been turned into a temporary morgue. Over twenty bodies lie in it. It is difficult to identify some of there, so much have they been disfigured and etashed, The follow- ing leave been identified ; Thonnte Farrell, Ben., Bud his obildren litewrenoe Parrell, Stella Farrell atia Awe Ferrell n hire, Stephen Burke, Mies Allen, Willie Bleck, Airs.

It ie feared that a large part of the rook adjoining the site et the slide will come down, as large creviees have appeared, atid the rain ieetill falliug and may repeat the operatione which caused lest night's disaster. People are moving out of the neighboring bowies. There bee been no leek ot volunteers for the work at the ruins, but there is a lack of intelligent direction, as there ia no per- il= in authority. Among the most uaeful laborers are two 'ergo gangs from the works at the Louise &take, who were sent up by the contractore, Messrs. Larkin ett Conuolly. Severe] citizens, including Ron. Ur. Mercier, have aent sums of money to Mr. Gregory, agent of a Marine Department; to be used by him to relieve any immediate dia. tress rimmed the bornelesa women and children. Ube cliff being the property of the Dominion Government, application was made by telegraph to Sir Hector Lengevin at Ottawa, who promptly responded, giving direetions to have the clove and exptessing-huf sorrow at the calamity to hie native oity. There were several femilies of strangely from brevefonnalaud bethe houses destroyed; the loss of life among them is ancertam. BESCCING THE WOLNDED. A later despatela says: Some scenes were witnessed which were extremely heartrend- ing. A yonng bay named Power was re- leased from the ruins. He, however, begged piteenely to be allowed to remain and, die with his mother and sisters, who were ale° in the ruins near by. He as well as his parents and sisters were removed alive but badly won.nded. A man named Berrigan watefound neer by pinned solidly twat a huge rock. He was speaking to friends around him, who were unable at the time to remove the iramenee bonlder and relieve him from his agonizing and perilous posi- tion, aa the rock was in such a position tbat it was feared when it was moved it would MUSS his death. Up to the present hour, 11.30 p.m., there bave been sixbodies taken from tbe ruins, namely ; Thomas Farrell and two of his cbildren, two children named Burke, and one unknown child. FarreWs mother-in-law, Mrs. Allen, and her husband are still in the ruins. About twenty-five persons have been removed from the debris badly injured. Some have broken arms and legs, others being badly crushed and mutilated in all shapes. It is supposed that Est lee.st fifty persons are yet under the ruins. The roadway is blocked with solid boulders to the height of fifteen feet in some places. TEE "MOUNTAIN STILL CUMMING. Midnight.—Under some of the houses crushed cries of "Help, help," are heard, but no immediate aid eau be given. An old soldier named Iflaybray, bearer of seve- ral medals of merit, who fought in the Crimean war, is heard shouting, "Por God's sake, do assist me, please." Although soldiers and citizens are working to the relief like Trojans, very little progress is made in recovering the bodies owing to the stupendous mass of rock and debris encum- bering the ruins. About 175 bodies are supposed to be buried under the debris. The body of a woman named Mrs. Berrigan has just been pulled out. It was mangled and bleeding, and presented such a sight as to affect the etrongest man. More rocks are still crumbling down, and the people of the locality are fleeing with dread lest the whole boulder forming the highest point of Quebec will give way. Help is coming in abundance from all quarters of the city. Accidents are occurring every moment to the rescuers. The crashing of timbers and the rolling of huge masses of rooks put the life and limbs of the volunteers in continual danger. DLTEENIN =REAMS UNDERMINED. The mass of rook detached from the dliff's side left a vacant space of extraor- dinary dimensions. :It has worked frame- diately under the Duflarin terrace under- mining the support of . that great promenade, so that it is now unsafe. The northeast testion of the citadel is perpen- dicular with the cliff sides. Huge rooks are still menacing the locality, hanging as they are on the flank of the mountain. Ten corpses and Sixteen wounded are new taken out. The work is still oarried on cheerily, but it will take several days to haul out all the bodies. The damage will, it is said, exceed $100,000. The houses in the locality were built of stone and brick, and inhabited by ship laborers, etc. The being a sight to try the nerves of the strongest men. Preparatione are heing made for the funerals of the killed, whtr will be burieaat the joint experisa ot the oity toad the,Local Government.

The horrors ot the dreadful day are still succeeding each other. While workers were busy °leering the debris of a crumbled builaieg faint groans were heard at inter- vals from under the huge pile of rock. The efforte of the volunteers were concentrated to that point, and after three hour& bard work the bleeding body of Joe Kerap was extricated from the mars Of rook. The poor roan was in the moot miserable condi, don. Both legs wore broken at the knees, the left arm was fractured above the elbow, and several ribs were also fractured.

A man named Michel Bradley, who bad gone alraost crazy when told that all his family had periabed in the landslide, dia. covered while working over the wreck of bits house his 5.year-o14 daughter still alive ; hie joy was indeearibeble. He kissed and. patted the mangled form, celled her by endearing names, fondled her as a mother would her baby. It is thought the child willlive. Up to this time the number of °upsets found le twenty-five, and the wounded is eighteen. Ths site of the landslide of last night is almost identical with tbat in the year of 1811, when eight buildings were crushed and thirty-two persons killed. To pre- vent n repetition of tbat disaster the Dominion Government purobeeed the buildings along the base of the cliff and re- moved them, putting up a heavy revetment wall, which has served its purpose well in preventing accidents from email slides, rebich were common enough to attraot but little attention. In foot, some of the people who have now lost their lives saw premonitory symptoms of the disaster, one or two small elides having taken place before the great mese of rook started. The houses now deatroyed all stood on the river side of the roadway, and were not thought to be in danger, but the immense mass of rock swept clear across tbe roadway and over the brick buildings, demolishing them like cardboard. The place from which the greater masa of rook fell is just below the King's Bastion at the west end of Dufferin terrace instead of doe gradual alone from the foot of the terrIce wall to the street below which appears a perpendicular rock rising like a well from a huge mass of debris at tbe foot close np to the wall of the terrace. It rises so straight and clear that it might be taken for a part of the wall itself until a proper examination is made. It is hard to speak positively, but from present appear- ances there seems little doubt but that tbe westerly end of Dnfferin terrace will have to be abandoned or very much narrowed '1down. The thousands of tone of rock have fallen away at the narrowest point of tbe terrace, where it was crowded towards the river by the citadel work. The mese moved. is, roughly speaking, about 600 feet frontage by 80 feet in depth. . „ Some of the masses of fallen rook band weigh nearly twenty tons, and there are ao many huge blocks that it makes the work of clearances very difaonit. The working parties. are now better organized and equipped and are making more headway with the work. ' The list of those kilted and wounded, so far as known, is as follow : Killed— Thos. Farrell, three Farrell children, two Burke children, one Bradley child, one child of P. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Bracken; Mrs. Stephen Burke, Henry Bleak, Wil- liam Black', Thomas Nolan and Mrs. Ready. The wounded are: Mr. and Mrs. Carlson Mr. J. O'Neil, Mrs. Luke Kerwin and child, Thomas Berrfgan, Den- nie'Berrigan, James Hayden, Wm.

Some dead and wounded are now being taken' out of the ruin's. The names of some are not yet ascertained.
