A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
A Matrimonial Sensation Reported from
Chattanooga. Tenn.
A decidedly romantic marriage occurr
ed at Chattanooga, a few nights since,
which has just leaked out. Miss Minnie
George is the pretty daughter of Captain
J. F. George, and she has for a long time
been engaged to John L. Jones, a well
known youth of that city. They wished
to get married, but being afraid to ask
consent, concluded to elope. They secur
ed a carriage at a late hour at night, and
a friend having procured a license they
started out to be married. They saw
Pastor Wambald as he was leaving his
church, and he was called to perform the
ceremony. The pastor took his seat in
front of the couple and driving to a
neighboring lamp post in order that he
might see to read the license, he made
them man and wife.
SOUTH CAROLINA SHAKEN.
L'hnrleston and Summerville Again Shaker
Up by Earthquakes.
A’out six o’clock Saturday morning
a slight earthquake shock was felt at
Charleston and adjacent country. The
shock continued five seconds. The di
rection of the wave was from west to east.
In one house a vase was thrown down
but no damage was done anywhere. The
shock was so slight that many persons
•’leeping at.the time were not disturbed.
The first disturbance worth mentioning
since the first of the new year. A spec
lal from Summerville says: a decided
earthquake shock was felt here at six
o’clock Sunday morning. It was very
short and no damage resulted. Coming
the earthquakes in Europe, it has
taa d« Wthtr a sensation.
SHERMAN’S SUCCESSOR.
There is an impression abroad that
Senators Hoar or Ingalls will be selected
to succeed Senator Sherman as president
of the senate. It is not known that
either is a candidate for the honor, and
the impression has for a basis only in
formal preliminary talks of this afternoon
among the senators. In addition to their
■well known standing and long experi
ence both are expert parliamentarians.
It is thought that the senator elected
will fill the position not merely during
the recess, but during the next congress.
SALK OF THE BARNETT SHOALS.
Mr. James M. Veal, executor, has sold
the estate’s interest in the Barnett shoals
to Mr. R. L. Bloomfield for SIO,OOO.
The deeds were passed and the money
paid Tuesday. Mr. Bloomfield made the
purchase for a Boston matting manufac
turing company, who will at once go to
work and build several large cotton mills.
This is the finest set of shoals in Georgia,
and will furnish enongh water power to
turn the spindles in a duaen large eotton
mills.
ELECTION FRAUDS.
The federal grand jury, which has been
investigating frauds committed at the
election in St. Louis last November,
made its final report to Judge Treat in
the United States district court Thurs
day, and returned twenty-two indict
ments in addition to those heretofore
found. A special jury has been called to
try these cases at the March term of the
court.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 5.1881.
FRIGHTFUL EARTHQUAKES.
FRANCE AND ITALY FEARFULLY
SHAKEN.
Hany laves Reported Lost.—The Carnival
at Nice Broken Up.--Extent
of the Shocks.
Severe earthquake shocks were felt
i throughout France and Italy Wednesday
doing much damage to persons and prop
! erty. Associated press dispatches from
J Rome says: At Nice houses rocked,
I walls cracked, and in some cases frail
I tenements were thrown to the ground.
I People.rushed from their houses and fell
; upon their knees in the street, praying
. for deliverance from sudden death. Vis
: itors to the city became thoroughly
frightened, and are leaving the place.
■ Many persons were injured bv falling
I debris.
. The shocks caused an awful surprise to
the crowds of maskers returning home
from the carnival festivals in their fancy
costumes, worn and bedraggled by the
night’s exercises and looking dull and
dreary under the glare of the early morn
ing sunlight. The first shock created an
immediate panic.
Many casualties were caused by the
shocks. The people are panic stricken
and the entire population are in the
streets. The railway station is beseiged
j with visitors who are anxious to leave at
the first chance that offers.
I At Marseilles the walls of a number of
I buildings were cracked. Shocks were
I also felt at Leghorn and Milan and several
I places in the province of Genoa, Italy.
Shocks were felt with great sevt.ily at
Savona, near Genoa, and a number of
houses' were wrecked and eleven persons
killed at that place.
Two violent shocks were felt at Tnulon.
: The first shock was of 15 seconds dura
| tion and the second 12 seconds.
' At Cannes, three shocks were felt at
I the same hour. Many persons at that
place rushed to the seashore for safety.
At Avignon three shocks were exper
ienced between six and eight o’clock,
j The first shock was very severe and
awakened everybody' in the place. Sev
eral shocks were felt at Genoa at six
o’clock.
There are rumors of enormous damage
in the mountains, caused by avalanches,
I set in motion by the shocks. Horses be
' cams restless and refused to move hours
before the event.
At Cervo, near Diano Marina, 300 per-
I sons were killed by being buried in the
i ruins of falling buildings. Railway traf
’. sic is suspended beyond Lavona. Prison
; ers in the government jail at Finalborgo,
| alarmed by the earthquake, attempted to
| escape, but were overcome by the guards.
| The earthquake devastated the whole
|of Italian Riviera. At Noli, on the gulf
■ of Genoa, and not far from Savona, °ev
| eral houses fell and fifteen persons were
killed. Six persons were killed and
thirty were injured at Oneglia, also on
, the gulf of Genoa. At Diano Marino,
i near Oneglia, scores of people were killed
: and hundreds were injured. Fully one
third of the town was destroyed.
IN CORSICA.
Two sharp shocks were felt in Corsica.
It is reported that several persons were
killed at Mentone, where St. Michael’s
church was badly damaged and the post
office wrecked. An inmate of the con
vent of the Holy Sacrament at Nice died
i from fright.
TUB EXTENT OF TUB SHOCKS.
The shocks affected a wide eccentric
; area. The first shock occurred at 6:30 a.
m., and the last at 10 p. m. Accounts
are vague and conflicting,but there seems
> to have been no damage done in the in-
■ land towns. The earthquake was felt
throughout Liguria and Piedmont, but
the wires are broken and news travels
slowly. The people everywhere spent
j the night in the open air.
The news of the earthquake was at
i first disbelieved in Paris. When con
; firmed it caused the greatest sensation.
Anxiety over the fate of friends was gen
i eral, and the telegraph offices wers soon
; crowded. Light shocks were felt at
i Nlmes Privas, Valence, Grenoble and
Lyons. The gendarmerie barracks at
Mentone collapsed, and several persona
were killed or injured. Business is sus
pended almost everywhere.
Reports from various placos put the
total number killed at more than four
hundred, and many more fatally injured.
LATER NEWS.
Further dispatches from the earthquuk
• ing district, state that over 2,000 people
Iwtve been killed. At Nice the panic has
■ not subsided, and fugitives are fleeing in
every direction. The people are afraid
j to re-enter their houses and hotels, and
i the heights back of the city are crowded
with refugees. Two thousand Englisl,
American and Russian visitors weie en
i camped during the night on elevated
ground. Six thousand people have left
, the city and started for Paris.
Further details received uhow that the
i effects are far more serious than was at
, first thought. The loss of life and de-
struction of property have been terrible.
The most startling news comes from
Genose Riviera. Over
FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE WERE KILLED
in that district. At the village of Bajar
do, situated at the top of a hill, a number
of inhabitants took refuge in a church
when the shocks were first felt. A sub
sequent and greater shock demolished
the church, and three hundred people,
who were in it, were killed. Th de
struction of property in sections of Italy
visited by the earthquakes was immense
and widespread.
Fifty' persons were injured at Mentone
and one killed; killed two persons and
injured ten at Nice; killed four and in
jured two at. Bar; killed two and injured
twelve at, Bollene. At, Chateau Xetif
many were injured. At Savona two
houses fell, killing nine persons and in
juring fifteen.
The total number of deaths reported
up to the present writing is about two
thousand. Shocks were felt at Parma,
Turin and Cosenza. Undulations of the
earth, wen 1 noticed at Clataria, in Sicily,
at. the foot, of Mount Etna.
The center of the disturbance seems to
have been in the. province of Nice, on the
southeast coast of France.
No severe shock has ever been felt in
this immediate section before, though
the earthquake in Switzerland in 1861
was slightly felt along the coast. The
great Lisbon earthquake was also felt,
i hough it did no injury.
While the center of the last disturb
ance was at Nice, the area of the shock
"as vast in its proportions. It was felt
distinctly in Rome and westward almost
to the Spanish coast of the Mediteranean,
though no serious damage is reported in
any othor locality than in that included
in the area of a circle inscribed around
Mee, with a radius of about seventy-five
miles.
SEARCHING THE RUINS.
Further Ui-t.ails of the European Eartli
qrakc.
Heartrending details of the disasters
caused by the earthquakes continue to ar
rive. At Diano Mariano, a child of
twelve years and her father were extri
cated from lhe debris, when the lai I,i t
expired upon the spot. The survivors at
Diano Mariano say that a majority of the
victims were killed by the second shock,
people having re-entered their houses to
procure clothing. The bodies, wrapped
in shrouds, lie in the middle of the
streets.
At Bassano the soldiers are still search
ing the ruins. They have rescued
twenty'seven persons, all of whom are
more or less injured. The people sleep
in carriages and improvised places of
shelter. B
Signor Ganaja, minister of public
works of Italy, has visited Bejardo, and
attended the funeral of 230 victims of
the church cellar, who were buried in a
common trench in the cemetery. He also
made arrangements for a temporary hos
pital for the injured.
The relief committees are being organ
ized throughout the country, but it is
impossible to supply the numerous wants.
San Remo is deserted. There were
303 persons killed and 150 injured in
that town.
Troops have been compelled to keep
back, at the point of the bayonet, the
crowds of despairing men and women
who were impeding the work of excava
tion, in their efforts to find missing rela
tives. The bodies of the victims of the
disaster arc terribly disfigured. The suf
ferings of the survivors are great. The
supply of provisions and drugs and am
bulance apparatus being painfully inade
quate. The work of tile rescuers is at
tended with considerable danger. In
some cases they have been obliged to flee
from the battery walls,hough they
could hear the groans of the victims bur
ied beneath the debris. All the members
of the family of the mayor of Bajardo
were killed outright. Os another fam
ily, consisting of twenty-two persons,
named Maestri;!, only a single member,
half demented, is left, The half-clothed
people are wandering on the seashore ex
posed to the inclement weather. At
Diano Mariano a woman and child were
taken out alive after being entombed
three days.
THE OLD JOKE.
PrUonern | n Texas i.ock Thir Keeper Up
and Escape With tUe Keyn.
Tuesday evening a daring jail delivery
occurred at Belton, Texas. The jailer
was about to place a prisoner arrested in
a cage with seven others, when a blanket
was thrown over his head and his keys
taken from him. The prisoners then
threw him in the cage ami locked the
door upon him and escaped, carrying the
keys with them. Up to midnight it had
been impossible to gain entrance to the
jail, and the jailer stands a good chance i
of parsing a day or two in confinement (
