FROM NEW ORLEANS TO CHICAGO The Shocks Extended, as Far West as Cleveland, Through the Ohio Valley, Otherwise hey Followed the Course of the Mississippi Forecaf ter Dunn Explains That Magnetic Currents Are Probably to Blame. Chicago, 111..

October 31 A distinct earthquake shock startled Chicago at 5:15 o'clock this morning, lasting for about fifty five seconds. No damage was done, but In many houses pictures were thrown to the floor and crockery broken. The shock was unaccompanied by any audible rumbling, coming in generally from the lake and disappearing across the praries of the "West. It was most severely felt on the north side, where probably the majority of sleeper3 were awakened. In the wooden houses of Buena park and other north side suburbs the shaking up was so perceptible that many persons hastily fled from their houses scanty clothing.

During the shock and for several hours after the electricity in the atmosphere was more than oppressive to persons of a nervous temperament. Speaking of the disturbance of last night, north sider. who passed through theCharles ton earthquake nine years ago, said: "I felt the shock last night and recognized it immediately. It ec. ualed in force the forerunner of South Carolina shaking up.

which, by the way, occurred about the same day of the week and at the same hour and in the same quarter ot the moon. My bed last night was shaken from east to west, the sensation being as though the center of the disturbance was directly under the house. In the Charleston earthquakes the shocks increased in violence daily until the moon was about full, when the great dlstubrance which became historic happened, at 9:50 or. the night of August 31, 1S86. Scientists attributed the cause to the fact that a shelving strata of rock existed several hundred feet below the surface of the affected territory and that frequent rains had caused the earth to settle and then slide for a short distance.

The same condition probably exists around Chicago." The architects say that the high buildings are least affected by earthquake shocks, as they are great steel birdcages which cannot upset, hut nevertheless those who happened ta be in the upper storie3 during a seismetlc disturbance would get the full effect of the rwaying" sensation. Cairo. 111., October 31 The earthquake at 6:09 A. M. was the severest felt in this section, lasting thirty seconds, north and south.

The whole demonstration tnust have occupied nearly two minutes. It was accompanied by a slight roaring sound (which continued after the shaking ceased. The first effect was felt about ten minutes after 5 o'clock, and people in various parts of the city were awakened by the quivering of their beds.

Most, of thoBe who had telephones convenient immediately called up the central office, and for a few minutes the operators were kept busy. All reports agreed as to time and the general effect.

Dunn of the weather bureau was scon this morning at his office at the top of the Knickerbocker Trust company building, New York. When shown the morning dispatches as to the direction of the vibration of the earthquake, he said he would have to differ with those which alleged an east and west direction to vibrations. The dispatches from the South, he said, conveyed the impression of an east to west vibration, while the hieh and low pressure sections of the countrv would naturally give rise to a south to north action. In regard to the causes of the earth quake shocks, Mr. Dunn said: "Knowledge in regard to earthquakes is very limited indeed.

It is supposed to be a shock, and the most plausible theory of the production of such a shock Is probably that of electrical or magnetic currents passing from one point of the earth to the other. There are times when such currents would pass from one point to another with greater activity and less resistance than at other mospheric currents, would be earth currents, as shown on this morning's weather chart, would pass from south to north with the least atmospheric resistance. It Is a positive fact that atmospheric electrical currents follow a path of warm, moist air, which usdally attend the existence of an area of low pressure or storm center, and avoid areas of high pressure, which are usually composed of clear, compact air, and offer great resistance to electrical currents of any kind. "The chart this morning shows conditions favorable for the passage of electric or magnetic currents from south to north and directly In the path of the earthquake shocks as felt this morning. Caere being a trough of low pressure extending from a severe storm now prevailing on the gulf coast and connecting with a more moderate storm with its center over Lake Superior.

On either side of this warm, moist belt are areas of high pressure, which would confine electrical currents to the Missis sippi valley and make more plausible the theory that atmospheric or magnetic currents, or a oomblnation of them, were the cause nf the earthquakes. It is also well known that earth currents have a tendency to travel toward the magnetic pole, and it may be found that the vibration, if careful observation be made of the shocks this morning, all extend from south to north. I do not think that there Is any danger of a shock being felt in this neighborhood at this time, regardless of the fact that the severe Btorm of tho south is passing to the northeastward and will give to this section of the country similar condition to that prevailing throughout the section of the country where shocks were felt this morning." HARRIOT KELLAR CONVICTED. SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE FOR MURDER. Oswego, October 31 The jury In the case of Mrs.

Harriot Kellar. on trial for mur der in the first degree for the klllinsr of Al bert Kermpthorne, on August 27, after thirteen hours' deliberation rendered a verdict of murder in the second degree.

B. I i Hfl Was Not Served With Papers in Widow 01 Conor's Suit FOR BREACH OF PROMISE. She Gives the Details "Which Led to Her Appeal to the Courts How Gil man Is Said to Have Induced Her to Givfi Up Her Place Who Is Mrs. Percival? A Very Promising Case Indeed. The Eagle or day or so ago told how Widow Hopewell O'Conor had begun proceedings against Theopoliua Gllman for breach of promise.

The widow's allegations were outlined, but Mr. Oilman could not be found. He has not been discovered yet and bo far no papers have been served upon him. Mr. Gllman's father was the founder of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company and the family has been known in New York for many years.

Gllman is said to be connected with the company and he is reputed to be wealthy. He owns several stylish turnouts and up to a few weeks ago was frequently seen driving behind fast horses. An Eagle reporter called at 211 Livingston street this morning fur the purpose of ascertaining if Mrs. O'Conor had heard of him since beginning the suit. The person who opened the door at first said that Mrs.

O'Conor was out, but she changed her mind and summoned Mrs. Conor to the door. At ilrst the widow declined to say anything, but afterward she concluded to give the following facts for publication "1 first met Mr. Oilman at 351 Bridge street, a boarding house in which we were both living. My acquaintance with him whs at first but slight just the ordinary acquaintance of people living la the same house and meeting dally.

As time wore on, however, we became better friends, finally Mr. Oilman became very attentive to me. About a year ago I left the boarding house In Bridge street ami Came over here to live. Mr. Oilman called on me frequently after I moved, and became more marked In his attentions.

At that time I was employed in the department of Wecbsler Bros. Of course, this kept me busy during the day, but nevertheless Mr. Oilman was able to see a good deal of me. He took me driving frequently. He used to tell me wnen ue came nere that the only time that he was happy or felt as though he was at home was in the company of my son and myself." "It is said that at first your son was opposed to the attentions of Mr.

Gllman; Is that true?" tho reporter asked. "At first he was," Mrs. O'Conor answered, "but when he became better acqpalnted with Mr. Gllman and saw how apparently devoted to me he was, he changed his mind. Mr.

Gil man became very" much attached to mv son. who, by the way, is 22 years old, instead of 17, aa stated. He did a great deal for him in many ways; he used to make him presents of clothes and many other things. He told him onco that after his mother was married he would not have to work any more, but to that I objected. Every young man ought to work.

"Mr. Gllman, previous to September 22, frequently asked me to marry him, but I always refused. Finally, on September 22. I accepted his offer of marriage and we became engaged. At that time I was employed at Wesch ler but Mr.

Gllman Insisted that I give up my position, saying that no person connected with the Gllman family was obliged to work. I resigned my position and now I have nothing to do and no means of support. Mv former position is filled and I have been unable to get any work anywhere else." "About four weeks ago I received a note from Mr. Gllman saying that owing to some unexpected complications which had arisen we would have to put off the marriage for a time. He gave no further reason then or at any time since.

About this time Mr. Gllman left 351 Bridge street and went to 18 Sldney place. And it Is about this time that a third part? appears In the case. The third party is a Mrs. Percival.

who seems to have a powerful Influence over Mr. Gllman. Just who she la I don't know, but she is related to the Gllman family in some way. I think her husband is a nephew of Mr. Gllman's.

I think that Mrs. Percival intends to marrv Mr. Gil man as soon as she is divorced from her present husband. At any rate she does all the talking for Mr. Gllman over at IS Sidney place when anyone calls for him and it Is impossible to see Mr.

Gllman there." "Is there any way that you can account for this peculiar influence which Mrs. Percival seems to have over Mr. Gllman?" "There is not. I only know that I haven't seen Mr. Gllman since she appeared on the scene.

Three weeks a go he sent me a note, sayin gthat he would call on Fridav or Saturday of that week, but he did not come and haven't seen Mm since. I am ready and willing to keep my part of the contract between us any time, and I can't imagine why Mr. Gllman, after all his protestations of love and repeated requests that 1 should marry him, should act as he is doing. I don't think I have an ythlng further to say." The reporter also called on Mrs. O'Conor's attorney, James Murtha, at his office in the Franklin building, and asked him if there were any additional details in the case.

"I think Mrs. O'Conor has a strong case," said Mr. Murtha. "Mrs. O'Conor had a vacation ot two weeks last fall and during that time Mr.

Gilman was with her almost all of the time. He used to take her driving nearly every day. All during this time he repeatedly urged her to marry him. and finally on Sunday, September 22, she consented. He had been particularly earnest on Saturday, the day before, but Mrs.

O'Conor did not consent until Sunday. Mrs. O'Conor's vacation expired on this Saturday, and she was to return to her duties at Wechsler's the following Monday, but Mr. Oilman said that she must give up her place there, as nobody connected with the Gilman family would be required to work. She gave up her place In accordance with Mr.

Gilman's request. Since then Mr. Gllman has failed to keep his promise to marry Mrs. O'Conor, and she now without any means of support. At IS Sidney place the reporter was informed that Mr.

Gilman had gone to Georgia and that he left Tuesday night. No further Information as to his whereabouts could be ob tained. The reporter was also Informed that Mrs. Percival had left the house several days ago and that it was not known where she is. MRS.

This was Sii1.it L. Samuels, a member nf the bar of Fort Worth. a young, clean shaven man. with a twinkling eye and the most perfect self poHSosslnn. He spoke quickly and sharply and Invariably rerferred to Holmes as "ilie individual." Inspector Gary of the insurance company was reoUled.

Mr. Graham Kiylne he proposed to by him that Holmes was a much married man and that Miss Yoke X'as not his lawful wife as be asserts and Is, therefore, competent to testify against liirn. Mr. Gary said lie had seen at the prisoner's house in 111., a woman representing her Willamette. self as Mrs.

The envelope was not addressed. Holmes louvitiK it to the witness. Subsequently witness had to Miss Yoke, known as Mrs. Howard. She was not the woman he had seen in Willamette.

"Well, I declare," was tho Rev. Mr. Carson's ejaculation a fter finishing the perusal. "I always heard that Mr. Nye wasn't that sort of a man.

In fact, we were so informed when we made the contract and we considered ourselves especially fortunate in get lng him as a lecturer, as he was said to be the foremost man in the country in his line. The press matter was sent to us in the shape of a book entitled 'LS111 Nye Bert Poole Combination In Farming The Rev. Mr. Carson hunted up the book and gave it to tho reporter. In the book was the picture contained In this column.

"That seems to be very apropos," said the Rev. Mr. Carson, smiling sadly, "if these reports are true of Mr. Nye." "Our plan," continued the pastor, "was to get money for the church by means of this I lecture. You see we have a wooden edifice and It Is our purpose to build a large new church.

If we should secure a sum from the lecture that will make it worth our while. It will be added to the building fund. There have been fortv men at work on different committees in getting up the lecture and sell nig ticKets and i nope it will not he a fiasco, By the way. there is a curious thinr that explain tilings. I was told by the treasurer that on Monday there was a large sale of tickets and on Tuesday a still larger sale, but on Wednesday, the day when It had been supposed that the largest sale would be made, there wasn't a ticket sold, so far as I have heard.

Our contract requires us to pay for the entertainment, but I think I shall insist that it shall not be paid until the close of the lecture If those stories about the dissatisfaction of the Paterson people, after paying $250, are all true."
