The people of Columbus seemed wild yesterday. No ono needed to be told that something unusual had happened—every body knew it. Everybody wanted the news. By the time of gray dawn they came to the Enquirer-Sun oitlce to get the paper. The sales were enormous, un precedented, exhausted. It is told that one gentleman paid fifteen cents for the loan of a paper just long enough to read the account of the earthquake. And well papers might sell. No such event as the ENQUiaER-SlJN chronicled had over before happened in the south. But few men in Georgia ever* before sat in the shadow of an earthquake. Vast throngs flocked to the enquirer-sun’s boards and eagerly watched every bulletin. It had been stated in the published dispatches of the Enquirer-Sun that every city-could be communicated with but Charleston. Charleston was shutBff, and as many here had friends and relatives there, the sus pense was great. As they waited and watched many humorous incidents of the night before were related. So ridiculous were some of these that the throug, in a measure, forgot their anxiety about Charleston. Then it was announced that the news was coming, AND IT CAME 1 And such news as it was. It foreshadowed a city-laid in ruins for the second time within two years. The Western Union’s wires were all a tangled mass with tele phone wires, and the only means of com munication was with one wire by the Southern. Of this Mr. Rusk, the manager here, made the best use possible, and gave us bulletins as fast as they could be ob tained. It is useless to repeat what this news was—our news columns tell the sad, sad story. Thousands of people read it and heaved a sigh. WHO HAS NOT HEARD OP CHARLESTON! Set in the rim of the sea like a gem on the bosom of beauty, and girded about by memories of the solemn and misty past, history has embalmed its traditions in fadeless ink, and the school children of two hemispheres have learned to list its name. Who can realize that Charleston is a Babylon of desolation? Charleston has been known long and far as the abode of southern millionaires and the altar -of southern culture. There are mansions enough on Wentworth and Meeting streets to crown a common city of a hundred thou sand inhabitants, though Charleston has but seventy thousand. Among the anxious watchers around the bulletin board were residents of this grand old city. When the news came they were dumbfounded, bewildered, heart-broken. Those who came to spend days here took the first departing train for the desolated city. May they find their friends and families safe, is the wish of all they left behind. THE HALF WAS NOT TOLD in our report yesterday morning, nor will it ever be told. Wo have not the heart to dwell upon the fact that how the women and children ran frightened into the streets, praying and calling to Him whose arm is strong and who holds the earth in His hands, to shield them from impend ing danger. Heaven knows it was a sight sorrowful enough to move the most adamantine heart, even though it be made the butt of jest when the danger is past. And to tell how ceilings were cracked, bells rung, lamps shaken, and a thousand of other incidents, would be relating but the experience of a majority of homes in the city. But we. CAN ALL THANK OOD that it is no worse, and this reminds us to say that Rev. J. H. Campbell called at the Enquirer-Sun office yesterday evening to suggest that the people ought to meet and give thanks unto God for the great mercy in sparing our city, and for the many blessings he is continually pressing upon us. He suggests that some unity of action should be taken, and we take much pleasure in saying that the Enquirer-Sun will gladly give publication to anything that may be done. THE TOWNS AROUND US were badly shaken and excited. Our spe cials cover points where they could be obtained in the immediate vicinity yester day. Below we give dispatches that will be far more agreeable to read than those from poor Charleston : At lltmlllmi. shaken'iwPm’ Se ? te, “ ber ,1—Hamilton was nloht ♦ i to Clr «uinfrrencc Iasi mght at ten minutes to I) o’clock «i W ai re 2 tar , tl . eJ ‘ Uld rushed about the houses badly frightened.

Geneva, Gn., September 1.—About 9 o clock last night all of our quiet little town felt the shock of an earthquake, which alarmed every one “who was at home” and frightened all the ladies out of several years’ growth. One lady had all the men on the place running about with truns looking for the cause, which. I sup pose, she expected to shoot and put an end to. The window sash reminded us of twenty- nine telegraph operators trying to send three messages each, all on the one instru ment. In fact, the houses shook as so many small leaves on a large red oak in a March wind. So severe was the shock that all of the fowls of the air, tiie beasts of t he fields, and, I think, the fish in the sea,were frightened, for tiie twenty-year-old pea cock flew from the hotel ohinineylas If ho wished ‘‘to get there.” The supposed cause was the effects of a ten cent show, which was just concluding its enormous performance. race.

Opelika, Ala., September 1.—On yester day, Chief of Police J. J. Yarbrough re turned from Atlanta with a negro by the name of Walter Crawford, charged with burning Hudinon Brothers & Co’s ware house in this city on the night of January 1,1886. Crawford ran away from here some time ago, but was not suspioioned until recently. Several negroes told that he had said he set tli j warehouse on fire. A reward of 1730 was ottered by the New York Underwriters for the capture of the guilty party with proof to convict, to which $250 was added by Hudmon Broth ers & Co.

The | shock was very heavy and severe. When it was first felt it was like the jar caused by a heavy train running, and accom panied by a roaring sound. The windows ; rattled and the dishes in the closets and safes rattled as if they would be crushed to pieces. The plastering and walls of the , Thornton house were cracked, and this is one of the most substantial buildings in: the state. The people were in a wild state of confusion, and rushed from their beds in their night clothes. Preaching was in progress at the Metho dist church and the congrega tion was thrown in the wildest state of excitement, women screaming i and crying and the men with pallid lips. ! All expected that their last hour had come, j For a time it was feared in the rush to get ; out of the church that some would be in- | jured. but fortunately no one was hurt. The church is a large brick building, and ■ trembled and swayed under the shock from “turret to foundation stone.” In several ] houses window glasses were broken, and bricks were shaken off the top of the chiin- I neys, adding to the terror of the inhab- j itants. The first shock lasted about half a minute, and about five minutes afterward a second one was felt,but it was very slight. ; Special to the Enquirer-Sun.

There was but a slight intermission be tween the first and the second shocks— : both lasting in all from five to ten seeonus. : I remained in my cabin and could sec and feel it vibrate or rock like a cradle, fhnse , who ran out on the ground during the first shook say that they could leei the ground rock like a cradle. It brought out all tiie visitors from their cottages, many of whom Mere badly frightened. I never imagined a shock of earthquake was so violent, and thought them simply the earth trembling, but this one here caused the hanging lamps in the parlor of the hotel to swing or vibrate at least six inches. It did no damage to tire buildings except to crack the plastering in some of them. There is d good crowd here and every thing comfortable and pleasant. At Seal.'. Seale, Sept. 1.—The shock of an earth quake was distinctly felt here last night a few minutes after 9 o’clock. Nearly every body in town felt the shock. A number of ladies were very badly frightened. We hear that the shock was fell from New York to California, but the Enquirer-Sun failed to reach us by the early freight this morning, so we know nothing except what was caught going over the wires. Geneva, Ga., September 1.—The matter having gone abroad that a genuine lecturer direct from Scotland was to be in Geneva, the people came to town from all over our county to hear the lecture. So extensive was this show that it took a trunk and one- horse wagon to carry the necessary instru ments for the “lecture,” as he called it, but from the programme we expected to see a panorama. We were quite disappointed to find it was not even a magic lantern performance. The manager has been in towii five days making all the necessary arrangements for this presumptuous affair. This remarkable man talked so much that I thought his tongue would have the ground itch.

A lady wlio | , hv vnur a, inv uouae, uu uc...q ^ .. . correspondent that it was an earthquake, , insisted that it could not be that, for she , had never felt one in her life. It rattled my farm bell considerably aud the bell was heard some distance off. The lady visitor ran out and looked up to see if it wasn l a big owl rattling the bell and shaking the house. My hired boy ran a quarter ot a mile to got to me and ask tne what l wanted. The ladies in the family of Mr. r. W. Fortson were said to be cold as ice . -11 WCIC MIU w - . with fright. An old negro on Mr. F.

The earthquake lasted at least one minute and was the strongest ever felt here, rattling crockery, shaking out loose panes of glass and making lamps sway in the stores. One gentleman says his swung nearly a foot each way. From all 1 can learn the feeling was de cidedly unpleasant, and the main object in life just then of the greater part of the citizen's was to get in the streets and they went. Being in a hurry, they were uot long in reaching them.
