ROUSES FALLING AMONG SHRIEKING PEOPLE.
—SHIP a TOSSED LIKE EGGSHELLS.
The late earthquakelat Maeile, Phil.
lippiue Islands, was of a terrific) charm, -
tor., One message reported a succes-
sion of fearful shocks, and shortly
afterwards came the announcement
that Manila was in mine, and All busi-
ness, suspended for the time. "We are
living on boats on the river." wired a
bank manager, "and the telegraph of -
lice is wrecked." The other day the
steamer Esmeralda arrived at this port
from Manila.' The accounts she brings
aro terrible beyond description. There
have not been. three snail earthquakes
since the city was founded in the six.
teeuth century. It seems there had
been some threatening rumblings for
several days, and ou' Sunday, about
noon, at the time .when most of the in-
habitants were sitting over their break-
fasts, the first great shook occurred,
and the not moment the streets were
filled with terrified people. The shook
lasted for seventy Bermuda, and the
damage done in that short time was
immense. Houses fell among the
shrieking people in the streets, strong
buildings creaked and tottered and the
tiles came down like rain. An iron
ship, which four years before had beeu
sunk in the river during a typhoon and
which it had since been found impos-
sible to raise, was lifted high out of the
water, her iron masts were seen to top•
ple over her side, and she sauk back
again out of sight. In the midst of all
these horrors, the accounts which have
reached • us of the slight loss of life,
border ou the marvelous. Only 50 or
60 natives are reported killed, and no
foreighners. One gentlemau, a clerk
at *Messrs. Kele, Hubbell & Co.'s, the
largest American house in the place, is
reported dangerously injured, and that,
up to Thursday morniug, was the only
acculeut among the Europeans that
had thee taken place. They were (sit-
ting at the table when it occurred, and
the rest succeeded in gaining the ver-
andah aud thence clambered down iu-
to the street. All in the hoose at the
time except this unfortunate gentleman
escaped, but the shock was so sudden
and severe that it portion of the house
fell on hien before he could get clear of
it. As an instance of the miraculous
salvation of human life, a gentleman of
my acqu iintance seeseeded somehow
in gettiug himself, wife aud six children
into the street, but at the end uf the 70
seconds his bowie was so complete a
rubs that out of $3,000 worth of fur-
uiture, there was not the value of $100
left. The Captain of the "Esmeralda,"
sitting at his table ou that memorable
Suuday, felt himself thrown suddenly
across it, experienced a sensation as if
the bed of the river had risen up and
struck the vessel a sudden blow, and
felt her pitching under hini as if the
ordivarily peaceful river were a tur-
bulent and stormy ocean. The next
day, he tells me, he drove through the
town and found the ruin even more
hopeless than he had couceived. Little
mat -roofed houses, which formerly
rented for five dollars per month, had
gone up to $200. Tobacco and sugar
storehouses were dowu, and their con-
tents bulled in the ruius. Fortunately,
uo rain or fire had occurred up the
tittle of the steamer leaving IVIanila,end
it is probable that the damage to goods
in store will not be very heavy. All this
took place on Sunday, and from that
tine until the following Tuesday
the shocks were slight but frequent.
But on Tuesday, just as the "Emelt.
sada" was steaming oat cf the river,
the Captain folt his ship hi violent
oommotiou, saw the waters of the river
surging and boiling under him, looked
towards the town, he saw the spires
and towers of the immense cathedral
toppling down, saw the houses wreath-
ing and twisting, and falling in all di-
reotiens, and theu dense clouds of duet
shut out the city from his view, and
that was his last recollection of it.
Mr. A. W. Sloan, of Blyth, met with
a curious accident on Tuesday last.
While returning home in the storm,
the lightning struck him somewhere in
the region of the eye, stuaniug him
for several hours. He is better, but
still feels the effect of the shook.

DUPED AND OUTRAGED.
UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE OF AN INNO-
CENT MEAD/AN GIRL.
During the fall of 1876 a young wo-
man named Catherine MtKay, whose
family reside at Longwood station.
Ont., arrived at Lexington, Mich., and
secured employment as a domestic in
the Cadillac Hotel. A (short time
thereafter one George W. Brooks,
travelling salesman and collector for
James Nall's fanuing millet, arrived at
the botel. Katie, who was a 'young
and innocent country girl, i.bout 20
years of age, unfortunately proved an
attracting victim to the lures of this
man, whose age is 50 years, and on
December 25, 1876, as she claims, they
were married by a man represented to
her by Brooks as Elder Brown, of the
Aletbodist Church, at a hotel in Davis-
ville. From thence they went to Imlay
Oity, where they boarded uhtil it be-
cause evident that an addition to the
family would require home aoomn-
modations, and the pair weut to house-
keeping. The result of the union, a
little boy baby, died in April, 1870,
aged abont four months. After the
birth of the child the mother was taken
ill, and was under a. physician's care
for sveral months. During all these
three years of matrimonial
it appears that Brooks treated her with
great kinduess—she had never been to
Detroit, and frequently asked him the
reason why he would not take her to
the city during his business trips. To
a late request of this kind, he made a
reply intimating to her that he bad
special reasons for not allowing her
that pleaaure. •
Soon afterward he left her, and
nothing more was heard from him un-
til she came to Detroit, and to her
great amazement learned that Brooks
had married his second wife (his first
wife lieiug dead) July 8, 1b75, the
wedding certificate showing that on
that date R. 13. Desroches, officiating
minister, married him and Annie
Hardy, both of Detroit, in the presence
of Leon Lallement and Ernest Des -
recites, and that since the union she
had had several childreu by him. A
warrant was iasued for the arrest of
Brooks on a charge of failure to sup-
port his wife, Catharine McKay _Brooks.
He was arrested but the authorities de-
cided that as Annie Hardy was Brook's
present legal wife, Catharine McKay
could not hold hien to support her as
his wife, and he was therefore compel-
led to show the discharge of the
prisorler, in doing which he expressed
his opinion that Brooks was a "most
uumitigated scoundrel"—all of which
the latter accepted with brazen effron-
tery.
A Fatal Ride.
A few evenings ei0O0, five young
men risiding in Lowell, Mass., wile
had been attending the Caletioniau
picnic at Andover, took the traiu for
Lowell. Either for lack of money or
for sport they clambered to the top of
a passenger car. When the train
reacheh Sprague's Bridge, two miles
from the city, all five were swept off
and killed. At the time it was only
known that one had met his death in
this manner; this was John Shinnick,
aged 16. Ile WES thrown down be-
tween the cars, where the conductor
found him. He lived about twenty
minutes. The body was sent to Lowell
and indentified. Some tiine after the
trackman found the body of others
lying iu the ditches, three on one side
of the track and one on the other. A.
freight train was sent from the city
and brought them in abont midnight.
They were Wm. Maher, 15; John Mc,
Namara, 16; Timothy Nolan, 17; Pat-
rielt Ryan, 15. There is a tiptoe of 22
inches between the care and the bridge,
and it is therefore conjectured that the
lade were sitting up when struck. Pro-
bably all but Shinniok died almost in-
stantly, as their wounds oxi the head
and back were terrible,
During the storm of Wednesday a
cyclone swept over Little Neck, Great
Neck aud Creedenoor, L. I., a mile wide
