The telegraph Operator Says Columbus lla« An
other Shock of Earthquake.
What is the matter with this world? It ain’t no
count. Literally and truly it is becoming “shaky.”
A man hates to stand on top of a pile of dirt eight
thousand miles thick and feel it shake clear
through. It is demoralizing. A fellow don’t feel
like he is getting his money’s worth. If the dirt
was »>ne hundred yards thick, or ten thousand
yards thick, and caved in it would be ail right.
Hut when a man stands on ground that reaches
to Shanghai and feels it shake clear tl rough,
while rocks drop out on the other side, it is sim
ply, simply, simply vexatious.

NfutiiRl Life PoIIHcn Afrnlit,
A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake-
wood, N. J., died. Man>; years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, one for $15,000
and the other for $.5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $24,733, the $4733 being
a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company
returned $18,053.11 more than he had paid in, or
$4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
l company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.—Atlantic City Review.

Charlhs E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had ft

South Braintree, Mass., hod an endowment pol

ball club released their team to-day, and with one
or two exceptions, all of them have left the city
on their return home. It has been currently re

would be signed for next year. Gunson, of the
Atluntus, was asked by the Telegraph this morn
ing if it was so that the members of the team
would sign contracts for next season? In answer
to this be said: “Some of them will if they get
the advance money that they want, otherwise
they will not.”
As the men were released, it is presumed that
the management refhsed to comply with their
deman is.
New Orleans, it is stated, offered the Atlantas
a guaran'ee of $126, or one-third of the gate
money, if they would come down and play an
engagement of seven games. The Atlantas

On motion of Sheriff J. G. Burrus, \V. O. John
son was requested to act as secretary of the meet
ing.
L. C. Levy, Esq.; introduced the following res
olutions, which he supported in a few most ap
propriate remarks:
Resolved, That the people of Columbus in
mass meeting assembled, tender their fullest
sympathy and all material assistance that may
be required by the citizens of our sister city of
Charleston in their dire extremity.
Resolved farther. That Mayor Grimes be em
powered to appoint committees to obtain sub
scriptions, and that all amounts to be paid over
to him and for varded at once to the city of
Chariest on.
The resolutions were heartily seconded by
Hon. L. F. Garrard and were unanimously
adopted.
Mayor Grimes then appointed the following
committee:
J. S. Garrett, T. J. Pearce, E. H. Jenkins, J. M.
McNeill. J. H. Gabriel, B. J. Rankin, T. M.
Foley, C. H. Herring, I). E. Williams, W. J. Watt
and J. C. Albrecht.
The committee is requested to meet at the
Enquiuer-Sun this morning at 9 o’clock and
arrange to begin a canvass of the city. It is hoped
that the citizens will all be prepared to con
tribute something when called upon by the com
mittee.
Thinking that the colored people would be
glad to contribute something, Mayor Grimes has
appointed Rev. Thomas, pastor of St. James
Church, W. E. Terry and Henry Davis a commit
tee to canvass among them.
The fands collected are to be turned over to
Mayor Grimes, who will forward them to the
mayor of Charleston.
