The rate goes into effect Saturday, the 25th inst., and one-half the entire proceeds of the excursion will be given by the rail roads to Mayor Courtenay, of Cnarleston, for the benefit of the earthquake sufferers in that city. This oxeursiou will afford ample time for thorough inspection of the ruined city, and many people from other cities will come to Atlanta, Athens or Macon to get the benefit of these liberal rates. • Excursionists from the We*t. Atlanta, September 2?. —Onq hundred and fifty Ohio and Indiana excursionists arrived in Atlanta to-night. They will spend to-morrow looking at the Gate City.

They came over the Western and Atlantic road from Chatt anooga by special train and spent the whole day on the i our: icy going over the battlefields along the road and gathering rocks and other relics.

A Terrible Earthquake to shake the Southern State* on September 20. Ne»v York Herald, 21st. Ottawa, Out., September 20.—Professor E. Btone Wiergins, of the meteorological bureau, says that the 29th inst. will witness one of the most terrific subterranean up heavals ever known on this continent. In asmuch as Dr. Wiggins foretold the Charleston earthquake his prediction is re garded as worthy of weight. Being seen by a reporter this evening he said : “It is certain that an earthquake will visit the southern states on the 29th of this month. The disturbance will cross the Atlantic and will in all probability affect southern Europe. South America will be exceedingly liable to be affected, and the upheaval will be a severe one. There is uo danger from earthquakes in America until the 29th inst., und even then the earthquake force will move from cast to west on a parallel a few degrees south of Charleston.

St. Louis, September 22. —The Knights Templar in attendance upon the twenty- third triennial conclave, thousands of vis itors and a great number of citizens de voted their time to-day to the charity ex ercises at the fair grounds for the benefit of the widows and orphans at the Masonic Home. Early this morning the streets were thronged with thousands on their way thither. There was no room for one man more on any of the street cart running to the grounds, and vehicles of every description were used to convey eager spectators to the scene. The Knights Templar gave a competitive drill At the Gilmore concert. The Mer chants’ Exchange held no session in honor of the event, anu released the clerks, who, as well as their employers, were but a lit tle time in proceeding to the ground. A » the morning passed away the usually busy streets became almost deserted, so many availed themselves of the opportunity ol contributing to the charitable cause.

Hours before the grand drill, which was to open the proceedings of the day at the fair grounds, streams of people began pouring through the gates, and by id o’clock the free stands were more than half filled, while the grand and reserved stands were occupied by hundreds, the ladies seemed to form at least half 01 the audience. The fair grounds, which are among the finest in the world, presented a beautiful appearance. The rains of yes terday had cleansed everything, while the winds and the bright sunshine of the morn ing had dried the grass and rendered promenading a decided pleasure, although the turf was a little soft tor the If any small cruft, such as fishing bouts, were caught they would hardly escape, but such a warning had been given that i t was not probable that any would been!. The storm would be preceded in Ontario, Ouehec, the maritime provinces and X* w England by strong northwest winds on the 2fil h ami 27th instant. Tin* 28th would probably be fine—the lull that precedes the storm. The disturbance throughout will be terrific, and cannot fail to cause- widespread devastation.

When Prof. Wiggins was asked to what cause he attributed this terrible submarine upheaval be replied that it was produced by a shifting of the earth’s centre of grav ity, and that this displacement would be bought about by a conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and oar two satellites, one being the visible aifcV tlie other the invis ible moon. The latter is a discovery of Dr. Wiggins, lie did not agree with the , opinion enunciated by Sir William Dawson at the recent meeting of the British asso ciation, at Birmingham, that the cause was to be attributed to a contraction of that part of the earth’s surface which > forms the bed of the Atlantic.

At the close of business in tho clerk’s office to night thoro were on tho docket 1002 eases, an increase of 38. Among tho most im portant of tho easos assigned for argument in the early part of the term are the Pacific National Bank cases from Boston, which involve questions pending in threo or four hundred suits in the courts below, and the case of the Kansas City, tawrcnce and Southern Railroad Company against Ben jamin 11. Brewster, ex-nttorney-general. The latter is a suit brought to test the validity of the title of the railroad company to certain lands in Kansas ami to cancel the patents issued for the same. The controversy is between a large number of settlers- about seven hundred -and the railroud company. The settlers claim the lands in question under the homestead laws. The dispute has ex isted for years, ami has been the cause of much disorder und disturbance to tho pub lic peace in tho places where the lands are situated. The legislature of the stale of Kansas bus at three different sessions me morialized the federal authorities to cause some proceeding to be instituted by which the title of the railroad company to the lands in controversy could be speedily de termined. In view of these facts the supreme court has decided to advance the case on tho docket and hear argument upon it at once. MR. H EDO WICK’S RETURN.

In this matter tho evidence will involve the interested parties who got the returns altered on promise of release by pardon or parole.
