The work of laying the rails on the Ta
vares, Atlantic and Gulf railroad is pro
gressing rapidly, the construction train
being now south of Astatula. Nearly
three-quarters of a mile of track is being
laid daily. The right of way gangs are
moving toward Mfnneola and Clermont,
and will be there ln a week. Meantime
the graders at the western end are nearly
at Hardin’s, on West Apopka. At the
other end they are about one mile and a
half from Oakland. The force at both
ends increases daily.
Among the curiosities in West Perry is

years ago, and her face and body are now
covered" with large spots. She has turned
about half white, and the spots are grow
ing larger. Around her head is a white
ring, and the hair has also turned to the
color very unbecoming to a negro—white.
The mother of the girl thinks she pos

The Callahan Record, speaking of the

Mr. Wideman went to Savannah on Aug.

derstand that he would be back in- a day
or two and he has not returned yet,
neither is hie whereabouts known. Mrs.
Widemsn was very much worried at his
lengthened silence and went to Way
cross last week with Mr. Wideman’s
father. For two years Mr. Wideman has
been the popular agent at the Savannah,
Florida and Western depot, and hlmseli
and family made many friends who do
not know what to make of his strange si
lence. Neither Mrs. Wideman or the
railroad officials know where he is. and
some suspect foul play. His position
was held open for him over a week, but
as be gave no reason for his absenoe it
has been iiled.
The Florida census statistics for 1885,
were recently published in the Floridian,
of Taliahassee. The total population of
the State is given as 338,406. Of this num
ber 191,185 are whites and 147,251 are col
ored. Orange county is given 14,400, ot
which 11,363 are white and 3,007 are col
ored, The counties with a population in
exoessof that of Orange in their order are:
Alaobua, with 25,947; Duva1,22,865; Leon,
17,444; Marion. 18,423; Escambia, 17,000;
Jefferson, 15,573; Monroe, 15,040; Madi
son, 14,555; Jackson, 14,425. A com
parison between Orange and the two
largest counties of Alachua and
Duval shows that while the former
has nearly four times as many whites as
colored, Alachua has only 10,494 whites
to 15,453c010red, and Duval 10.172 whites
to 12,693 colored. Jefferson has 12,476
colored to 3,096 whites, and Leon 14,584
colored to 2,860 whites. Jefferson nas a
person 100 years ol age, and Manatee has
a man 100 years of age, whose wife’s age
is 90 years. Monroe has 20 Chinese in
habitants. There are 42 colored persons
in the State whose ages range from 100 to
129 years. These facts speak well for tho
State. Sumter has 9,462 population, of
whom 6,934 are whites and 2,594 colored’
GEOBGIA’S SHOCK.
Tuesday Night’s Startling Experi
ence in Various Parts of the State,
Albany News and Advertiser: The
shock of an earthquake was felt very dis
tinctly ln this city at about 8:45 o’clock
Tuesday night. Buildings were shaken
to an extent that was alarming to second
story occupants. In the News ana Ad
vertiser office there came near being a
stampede. The whole building rocked
and the windows rattled. While the com
motion was being discussed with some
feeling of alarm in the editorial room, the
foreman of the composing room ran in
and exclaimed: “Earthquake! Earth
quake! Didn’t you feel it?” The shock
lasted for nearly a minute. At first we
thought In the News and Advertiser office
that the building was settling or giving
way, but pretty soon it was learned that
the shock was felt elsewhere. Persons on
the ground did not feel it so distinctly as
tnose who were In houses.
Rome Courier: Tuesday night at 8:55
o’clock Rome received a genuine electric
shock. There were three distinct shocks
and the brick buildings of the city shook
like reeds in a storm. The shock created
considerable excitement and a great de
sire on the part of some to vacate build
ings instanter. Tne Courier building
seemed as if it wound be moved from Us
foundation, and the windows were set to
rattling at a lively rate. Boon after the
shock people congregated on the streets
in large numbers excitedly discussing the
matter. It was apparent that the whole
city had reoelvcd the shock, though
uo" damage at. this writing has
been reported. For awhile after the
shaking up the telephone at the Courier
office was rang up rather lively by people
who inquired if there had beer, an earth
quake. From the Fourth ward the shock
was reported to have been groat, all the
bouses being given a good shaking up. A
crowd soon gathered around the telegraph
office to ascertain the extent of the earth
quake. It was found that It had been
general, and there was great excitement
everywhere- The shock was very heavy
at St. Louis exactly at tho same time as
here. Tho depot at Rock Run was nearly
blown down. At the telegraph office In
this cltv the clock was stopped, as also
was the regulator at Allen & McOsker’s
jewelry store.
Marietta Journal: Whether the “nun

“grand shake” Tuesday night, and, judg

and followed it, it must have had a big
case ot “chills and ague.” The auuko
startled and alarmed our people, sending
terror to the heart and weakness to the
limbs. The first shook was the severest
and ooourrert about 9 o’clock and lasted
fully a minute, and lighter shocks
followed at intervals. The writer
was at home preparing to seek
“nature’s aweet restorer, balmy sleep,”
when the building began to tremble
from foundation to roof, timbers creaked
and windows rattled. At first the vibi a

WILLET ON EARTHQUAKEI.
He Gives His Opinion as to Tlcir
Nature and Various Causes.
From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
In compliance with your request I su>-
mit the following hasty lines on the na
ture and causes of earthquakes. Te
subject is somewhat obscure, but muh
systematic observation and study are nw
given to the subject, and we may snn
have more satisfactory informati*.
Causes of earthquakes were formerly t
tributed to volcanic agency alone. Mar,
doubtless, proceed from voloanio caust,
whatever they are. The younger Plin,
in his account of the violent death of 1b
uncle, by being overwhelmed with a ston
of ashes from Vesuvius, which coverfi
Pompeii for many centuries, describt
the awiul earthquake that accompanifi
it.
Etna has been the centre of many eartL
quakes, one notable one within a fev
months past. The States of Chili, Pen
and Venezuela, surrounding their great
volcanoes, have almost constant tt-em
blings, with occasional outbursts of ter
rible violence.
But earthquakes sometimes cannot be
traced to any voloanic explosion. An ex
ample is the earthquake of New Madrid,
Mo., which occurred in 1811, and is refer
red to in vour extra ol to-day. This was
remote from all volcanic disturbance,
and the huge fissures in the earth, with
upheaval and sinning of the surface,
point to a local oause. As this is regard
ed as the probable explanation of most
earthquakes, I will illustrate it. We are
apt to think the body of the earth as solid
snd finished, so to speak. The great vol
umes of matter that gush out from volca
noes, however, prove the interior of the
earth to be not all solid. The slow rising
of our Atlantic coast, the slow sinking
ot Greenland, etc., etc., show the body
of the earth not to be finished. Our partly
liquid and partly solid globe is slowly
cooling, faster mav be at some places
than at others, and adjustment are tak
ing place within all the while. These
crackings, oendings, etc., of the rocks
below, when large enough, may make
themselves known to ua by vibration or
tremors—earthquakes, small or large.
Another fact: The coal miner follows his
bed of coal along, say horizontally, under
the earth for months. Suddenly his bed
of coal gives out; he finds nothing but
rock. If he has experience He does not
stop here, but drives his shaft up or down,
and, in many cases, comes on his lost bed
of coal, and then follows on again. The
rock and coal had a vertical crack to take
place, and one side sunk down, or rose
up, 10, 50 or 100 feet. The miners call this
a “fault.” This slipping of great masses
of rock could hardly occur quietly and
without vibrations.
Such adjustments, some miles within
the earth, become centres trom which
great waves of vibrations radiate in
every direction. The disturbance is
greatest at the centre, and becomes lees
at the points more and more distant.
These faults, slips, cracks, etc., in the
rock are the rule within the earth. The
miner and geologist meet them every
where. Tnere are perhaps thousands in
the granite here in Bibb oounty. These
crackings and sllppings up and down are
thought to be the cause of many earth
quakes.
We do not know the origin of our earth,
quake. It may be the far-off effect of
some Central American volcano. But
the incomplete and terrible news just in
from Charleston this evening seems to
point to a centre ot disturbance in that
direction—either on land or out in the At
lactic. Bome cracking and sliding of the
rook* within the earth produced a terrible
shock in the earth above, and the waves
radiating trom that as a centre sent an
earthquake over all the States east of the
Mississippi. This is ventured only as a
conjecture with our present amount of in
formation.
A word as to how they study earth
quakes. The observations are made
mostly by pendulum, swung very deli
cately. They terminate in a sharp point
or pencil below, and this point just
touches a piece of paper covered with
lampblack, or white paper is sufficient
when a pencil is used. This pendulum
swings under the swaying ot the building,
and the point traoes out a devious set of
curved lines, showing the direction
whence the wave came. A watch shows
the time. Tracing out on a map the di
rections of the sweeps ot the pendulums
at manv places, we get a map of the
earthquake, l’rof. Newcomb, of the ob
servatory at Washington, timed the
shocks last night at 9 hours 53 minutes
20 seconds—9:s4:3o, and lasted till 9:59 to
the second. He will probably make out a
map in a few days.
On interesting point—What is the fu
ture? Is our danger over? No one knows.
But if the centre is at Charleston we
mav be so remote as not to receive any
waves of dangerous intensity.
J close with an interesting incident.
Hon. B. B. Hubbard, of Texas, is United
States Ministor to Japan. He is a grad
uate of Mercer, of the class of which Dr.
Ryals and our lamented colleague, i’ror.
E. A.Steed, were members. Rumunber
ing this old teacher, Minister Hubbard
sent me from Tokio, Japan, a fow weeks
since a magazine. Strange to say it was
a journal on earthquakes—Transactions
of the Selsmologlcal Society of Japan,
Vol. VIII., 1885. It contains much in
teresting matter. I will refer only to one
article, headed “Catalogue of Earthquakes
for Tokio” (July, 1883; February. 1885),
The observations of these were made at
the Imperial Meteorological Observatory,
with me best of instruments. No less
than 108 earthquakes occurring at Tokio
during the one year, 8 months and 27
days, aro recorded as to time, iorce, di
rection and duration. How blest are we
in oomnarison with the inhabitants of To
kio! And if any Mercer boy would go as
United States Minister bereaftor he might
select a country less shaky than Japan.

COTTON GRADES.
A Proposal io Form a Company for
1 heir Guarantee.
From Iht AGm York Commercial Bulletin.
Advocates of the proposed certificate
system on the Cotton Exchange state that
they have received very gratifying assur
ances of co-operation and assistance from
members who have hsrHolore opposed
their scheme. One of the main objec
tions, it will tie remembered, raised before
the Board of Managers and, ln lact, at all
the discussions on the floor, was In con
nection with the guarantee of grades. It
was represented nr '.he opposition that
! tiro was no adequate guarantee under
tb certificate plan, and that the Hr, er
j ctld not depend upon the accuracy of
itl-trade mentioned in the certificate of
I tb cotton purchased by hinr; hence, loss
ad embarrassmeut might ensue. 11. was
sgsested last year that the Exchange
sould be responsible for the grade, but
t e organization did not care to shoulder
tie responsibility. It is now proposed,
however, by some members, to toriu a
guarantee company independent of the
Exchange, which shall give assurance to
the buyer that he gets the qualify of cot
ton be purchased. It is believed that
such a company would pay handsome
dividends. Cotton onanges bauds so fre
quently, and the certificates re-classity
ing, and other fees would foot up to quite
aoonsiderablesum in the course of a year.
The stock, it is stated, will soon be sub
scribed for. Solomon Ranger announces
his readiness to invest $25,000 in the en
terprise, and half a dozen others might
be named who will subscribe to the stock.
That the friends of the certificate plan are
gaining converts is not questioned, though
Inman & Cos. and other large firms who
bank on the product have not changed
their views and will oppose ft tooth and
nail when it comes up again. Walter T.
Miller, whose opposition to or advocacy
of any projeot is admittedly formidable,
will, it is hoped, favor the principle of the
plan, while C. L. Greene, Capt™ William
V. King, John Black, J. L. Macaulay and
other workers will whip the wavering
ones into line whenever the opportunity
occurs. Should the board reconsider the
subject and submit a modified plan to the
members for approval, it is confidently
believed that it would be ratified by a
good majority. It may be recalled that
the rules proposed some time ago author
ized the Classification Committee, should
the grading of any lot or lots of cotton
require it, to add two additional grades
to the erades or classification now quoted,
Viz.: Barely (middling), signifying one
third off oi the difference between the
grade named and the next grade below,
viz.: Fully (middling), signifying one
tbird on of the difference between the
grade named and the next above grade.
And it will also be remembered that one
great objection was met by authorizing
tho appointment of an Appeal Committee
>n Classification, to be formed of a panel
if not less than twelve members,experts,
.nd regularly engaged in handling spot
otton, to be appointed by the Board of
lanagers, from which panel the Superin
•ndent shall draw by lot three members
a serve as such committee upon each
ase that might be appealed. The dects
>n of this committee was to be final In
11 cases.
