Hamilton, Ga,, September 0.—L Loob of Columbus, came up to Hamilton on Sat’ urday evening and took in the siirhta „• the mountain city. Col. James M. Mobley loft Saturday for the Warm Springs camp-meeting Frank Hadluv ami C. W. Harris took in the camp-meeting on yesterday. They re port a tremendous crowd, and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Mr. Bucnaimn and lady, from Marvvn Ala., are on a visit to Hamilton ’ Jr " 1 ’“"" “ r “ s1 ' Mr. Henry Hubbard, of Blue Sprimrs district, had a little child about three years old to be bitten by a ground rattlesnake last Friday. The little sufferer is now resting quietly, and hope is entertained that the child will recover. It was bitten Oil the toot, lliu snake was killed and had seven rattles. Hr. Brewster attended the case. M. W. Barber, the photographer, lias do cHicd to remain a while longer in Haniii- toll. Mr. Barber is an exception to Hie general rule applicable to traveling artists His pictures compare well with those taken by inly artist. He guarantees satisfaction and the unanimous verdict of all his pnt- rons is that he does good work at moder ate prices. Hudson & Johnston, the live cotton firm ofyour city, are thoroughly renovating their commodious warehouse here bv tearing up the floor und putting it down upon a flrmer and better foundation,taking up the plank sewers and replacing them by terra cotta piping. They will in a few days be ready to receive and handle all cotton brought them with promptness and efficiency. Our enterprising townsman, S. R. Mur phy, is thinking of extending his already large business here by opening a furniture bouse. For that purpose he has bougnt and is renovating the old stand where J. 1 W. Gamble, during liis life, did business. I When Murphy gets in his furniture he will stop all that trade in the furniture line I that originally went to Columbus. Mrs. H. \V. Pitts, ot Hamilton, is quite t sick at her residence, of typho-malarial fever. All of her family have gathered I here to assist in seeing to her wants. The ' doctor thought, yesterday evening, that she was better. A host of relatives and I friends would be gladened, indeed, to ! know of her improvement. Two energetic and enterprising young ! men of Hamilton were overheard, a few | days ago, discussing the outlook for a good, I first-class livery stable here. Should they I embark in the business, it will be supply- j ing a long felt necessity ; should the mer- ] chants here encourage the move by patronizing them, they will certainly give I the enterprise a fair test. There is noth- : ing that adds more to the enjoyment of a town than good conveyances. We were sorry to learn that Mr. William ! Cojieland was sick at his home in Valley Plains district. Air. Copeland is one of the old land-marks of our county, and serves to show the rising generation what success there is to a man who sticks closely to his business and uses close economy with its earnings. We will note gladly his con- j vaieseenee. We have been much amused by the many theories advanced by scientific men ■as to the cause of the earthquake. We ! have long since studied everything that pertained to tae interior of the earth that : we could, with great interest. Blit as i geologists tell us, we can’t get deep into 1 the crust of the earth, we are forced to i formulate theories as to the interior of t he earth as drawn from facts gathered from ! things exterior. We have from these men ! the cause assigned to volcanic action, land : slides beneath the surface, movements of I the interior produced by great internal ] heat unequally radiated. But the gist of j it all is, it was a shake—a terrible shake— j a shake that caused the bravest men to tremble at the demonstration of this un- ! known and inconveivable foree somewhere . exerted, whose radiation, so to speak, caused the crust I of the earth with its population | to vibrate in unison with it. It seems to ! defy all theories by coming just when no ! one expects it. It reminds us of a well known cotton buyer. He says that he goes at his business carefully and for a season his margins show constant gain; then he thinks he has got the fluctuations just right. About that time the market takes a wrong tendency, knocking into a “jiffy” all the calculations and theories he had made. We were talking with an old ex- Hamilton gentleman a few days since, and he said that many years ago, when he resided here, that there were many traces of earthquake to be seen. The traces were to be found from Warm Springs to this place. We had never heard anything connecting this famous place of resort with any of these internal earthly commotions, hut it is an undeniable fact that its waters taste queer. He stated that the main trace was in the rocks to be seen,bearing a burnt appearance; and on being broken, which he stated was easily done, traces of volcanic action could be easily seen. Cotton is opening rapidly now. We took a short trip into the country last week and was struck with the change that had taken place in one week. On most of the old land where guano had been used freely, rust was'to he seen everywhere. This will cause the matured bolls to open rapidly, but will, in a great many instances, cause the younger fruit to dry up, and if it opens at all will be of an inf erior grade. The Enquiber-Sun is still growing more popular every day. Every one is pleased with the print and the general make-up of the paper. Too much pains cannot be taken in printing a newspaper, to have it free from blurs and especially to have good, clear print. A good morning paper is one of the luxuries of a Hamilton home.

Chaui.eston, September 6. -A reports madaacnreftil detour of ilio eitv. visiting all the principal streets end the'suburban places, and was surprised to find so much wrecked property which has escaped the eyesot the local and transient press repre sentatives. it is useless to try and recapitu iate the Josses in a city of over sixty-two thousand inhabitants, whore thelbuildings Which are not damaged are the exception, A„ least (our out of live of the buildings are damaged more or less. Nearly nil the chimneys are down. The plastering is oii everywhere, and serious external and internal injuries are sustained by brick and stone structures, City Assessor William A. Kelly says that the loss will readily reach $10,000,00;). -x’jie taxable real property aggregates a basis of $22,- 000,000. Then there is lion-assessable property, churches, schools, charitable in stitutions, etc., aggregating $10,000,000. Kelly prepared on the 01st of August last, the day before the night of the first earth quake shock, a list of permits issued dur ing the month of August for the erection of new buildings in Charleston and for the improvement of old building's. The state ment showes that during the month six teen building permits were issued for work aggregating $23,900, and twelve permits for improvements, amounting to $4550; the whole a total of $28,460. From January 1 to August 81 of this year the amount put into ^building in Charlestoji aggregated Mr. Kelly says: “These figures show the minimum — that their improvements amount to more than the sums stated—as those asking for permits represent the sums invested as low as possible, so as to avoid taxes for the full amount. The fol lowing permits were issued during the past year for the erection of build ings and old builnings im proved: 222 new buildings, reported cost, $251,000; old buildings improved, reported cost, $121,176. Total, 380 permits, reported cost, $372,174. This statement does not in- elude the cost of repairs made necessary by the cyclone in August of last year. t It was estimated at that time that the dam age sustained by the wharves, public buildings, private residences and other property amounted to over $100,000. At least $600,000 was expended for the repair of such damages, whicli will make the amount expended for new buildings and improvements last year exceed $872,000.” REAL ESTATE SALES. The record of the sales of real estate shows an advance over assessments in every ward of the city. Four hundred and fifty-eight pieces assessed for $744,773, during the year were sold for $1,001,783, an increase over the assessment of $257,010, equal to 3} per cent. Of this number 430 pieces sold above assessments and 28 pieces below assessments. As the greater por tion of the property destroyed was in herited by old families who have no sur plus means, it is believed that only a por tion will be rebuilt. THE SCIENTISTS here say that the earthquake was undoubt edly the result of an adjustment of the crust of the earth to conform to its base. They do not believe the disturbance in this regard had any connection with that in Europe. Prof. Mendenhall, who has made a study of earthquakes iu Japan, gives it as his opinion that there will be more or less disturbances here for several days, and thinks they may possibly be so strong that buildings will be thrown down, and that it will be inadvisable to occupy shaky houses for a few days. It was reported this evening that four persons had been killed by ialling build ings, but investigation repudiates the ru mors. Up to this writing a carefully re vised list of the dead from the earthquake makes the aggregate of forty-seven, The Southern Express company announ ces that it will forward free of charge con tributions to the sufferers here. EARTH QUAKIANA. There have been many births sincE the first shock. No less than ten are already reported. This morning a lady was taken to Washington Square in the agohies of motherhood, and soon thereafter she was the mother of smiling twins, she resting easy, although a hundred people witnessed it. Yesterday it' was but little talked of that a baby was born there in the morn ing in the presence of a hundred persons. These are earthquake times, and social delicacies are not over strictly observed, although the utmost respect and deference is shown in every instance.

This disease is considered by physicians to bo incurable. In fact, there is no case on record of a cure until within a few months past, A reporter learning of the affliction, suffering, mid final recovery of Mrs. C. A. Bailey, of Somerville, near Bos ton, called on her husband at No. 17; Bluclcstone street, Boston, and heard his report of the case, which is, to say the least of it, simply wonderful. Twelve years ago Mrs. Bailey, whose home is on Moore street, Weal Somerville, was at tacked by a hideous black eruption which rapidly extended from foot to lower limb mid thence to the thighs, back, neck, face and head, until her whole body was ono I mass of living, dying putrefaction. To breathe the foul exhalations of this living corpse wai terrible; yet with heroic devo tion her husband and relatives never re linquished their posts or abated one iota tlie fond faithfulness of their trust. This mysterious foe crept so swiftly on as to strike terror into all those loving hearts; yet not one of all the eminent physicians who were summoned could check its fatal progress, or even diagnose the disease sufficiently to give it a mime. Even while its terrible power was m inion lodged, these men of medicine were as powerless as chil dren to arrest its ravages. An eminent physician, of Somerville, at first pro nounced it an abscess and prescribed bis muth, hut after six months acknowledged his skill completely baffled. A noted physician of Quincy, after a whole year of faithful, patient cure, dur.-ig which time great 'masses of dead flesh sloughed off limbs and body at the slightest movement, abandoned me case as Hopeless and inex plicable. Tlie most learned physician ill that gentleman in tlio senate, inquiry was made by Senator Kennii, of West Virginia, and by his eolleogue, Senator Camden, a member of tlie pension committee, as to whether that report wns a report to the committee oil pensions. This inquiry dis closed tlie startling fact that not a single member of the committee had been pres ent when tlie report was adopted except one besides the chairman, Senator Blair, and that no other members of the com mittee had so much ns read the report which Senator Biair was attempting to make, in which he discussed the action of the executive touching twenty or more pension cases. Th" supplement contains all t lie evidence to substantiate the charges that the office under the republicans hud been run for political purposes. It is what General Black wanted to place before the senate investigating committee, which he was not allowed to do. The committee will to-morrow commence the circulation of the supplement. The campaign book proper will be out the first, of next week. I'o.iiiui Ouk. Lost Sunday, while nt Mr. T. F. Hud son's, th" great hay and carp man, who is perhaps hotter known than any farmer in the state, we noticed that his son, DoWitt, seemed to he skinning off at the hands. Mr. II. called the little follow to him and showed us how the skin,even on the palms of his hands, was coming off in flukes and a new skin appearing underneath. He explained that several years ago the child was badly poisoned with poison oak, and every spring ho broke out and suffered greatly. He had applied every known remedy to relieve the sufferer, and em ployed physicians to attend him, but with no a, ail. “In fact.” Mr. Hudson con tinued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a poison oak vine would cause the eruption to break out afresh.

Me., September 6.—Sena tor Frye spoke here and took back all be may have said ■ concerning Mr. Blaine’s coat-tails and the military spot that at Houlton two weeks ago he thought he had discovered on that portion of the Plumed Knight’s attire. He announced that he had been up in the northeastern part df the state, where the papers did not go to him, and was very much taken aback to learn of the universal interest with which his Houlton speech had been 1 reoeivfed. The language ptlt , into his mouth on that occasion Was a misreport, and he was indignant in his denial of ever hav ing used the words attributed to him. He had spoken no word concerning Mr. Blaine except in eulogy, and he thought he might even have been extravagant in the praise he had bestowed on him. He compared Blaine in his public career in America with Gladstone in Eugiand. Once more he reiterated his denial that he had said anything concerning Mr. Blaine that could, without distortion, be used against him. He had only introduced his name for the purpose of saying pleasant things concerning him, and any other interpreta tion of his remarks should not count. As an evidence that what had been reported as his remarks could not have been his language, he stated, that his speech lasted for two hours and a half and the original published report only made a newspaper column. , . After Frye’s speech the band that had attended his meeting paraded to the Elm wood House, to which Blaine had just re turned after making his speech at Skow- liegan in the afternoon. There was a serenade and Blaine stepped out on the veranda and made a few remarks to the crowd that had followed the band. He thanked them as his former constituents, and incidentally remarked that their offi cial relations were now severed, for he was simply a private citizen. When the baud had gone away Senator Frye came to the hotel, aud he and Blaine hail a conference.

Samford represented the state and Col. W. H. Barnes' the defendant. A number of witnesses were examined, but the evi dence was insufficient to bind the defend ant over, and he was discharged. Miss Lena, the seveuteen-year-old daugh ter of Dr. W. L. Wright, died in this city Saturday evening, after a short spell ot typhoid' fever, and was buried yesterday evening. Her funeral was largely attended ; by sympathizing friends. „ Tnere were about twenty-five balesi ot • new cotton in the city Saturday. Opelika i expects the largest crop for years. j Our circuit court convenes on the litn j of October. The following grand jury has ■ been drawn for the fall term: B. H. Me- , Cullough, beat 1; G. W.

She still uses the medicine as a tonic, and is de lighted to find that her complexion is clearer and her form more beautifully rounded than before her illness. Mr. Bailey, when seen at his place of busi ness', 171 Blackstone street, Boston, ex pressed his cheerftil readiness to commu nicate more in detail relative to this re markable cure with any who may be afflicted by eczema or kindred complaints; and in his gratitude to Swift’s Specific he is ready to meet, personally, all who may desire to know more of the facts of the case than is possible to rehearse in the public columns of a newspaper. To-day there is not a sore on Mrs. Bailey’s body, but her flesh presents even now a sight terribly suggestive of the fearful ordeal through which she has passed.
