SHORT NEWS NOTES.

       An earthquake in Las Alimos, Cal., wrecked many brick buildings and did considerable other damage.

       Troops have been ordered to the coal fields in the Shenandoah Valley.

       It is said that the smart sets of London are taking no interest in the coronation ceremonies of King Edward and that the attendance will be very small.

       Senator Tillman has notified Charleston that if the people send a certain man to the state senate that he will withdraw his support from Charleston at Washington.  It remains to be seen whether Charleston or Tillman is the largest.
