Financial Troubles in Macon.
In consequence of reports having
reached Atlanta damaging to the
credit of some of the business houses
of Macon, inquiry was made by the
Atlanta Herald, and the following tele

OUR EARTHQUAKE.
A Good Shaking All Around—No
Damage, But Considerable Alarm.
The very serious convulsion of Na
ture, which a few minutes be
fore 10 o’clock on Monday night, and
occasioned so much alarm, in many
cases causing people to run into tho
streets, appears to have been felt over
quite a stretch of country. To-day, it
has been the all-absorbing topic, in the
counting house, the office, or the home
circle. Everybody was asking, “Did
you feel the earthquake?” It is the
experience of those who have lived in
earthquake countries, that the first
shocks are succeeded by others, run
ning through a period of several days,
and we believe that was the case in the
earthquake shocks which occurred
lieie twenty-seven years ago. It is
not at all probable that Augusta will
be visited by a Simon-pure earthquake,
but we may receive some more shocks
before long. In South America, Mexi
co, Central America and the West India
Islands, where earthquakes are fre
quent, they have a medicine called
“temblor remedio ” or earthquake medi
cine. Earthquakes usually cause a
nausea-like sickness, accompanied by a
nervous prostration. No doubt, many of
our citizens who felt queerly yesterday
are unable to account „!or it, but it is the
effect of the earthquake shock on Mon
day night. The heaviest shocks ever
felt in the United States occurred in
New Madrid. Missouri, in 1811, and
ceased coincidently with the great
earthquake at Caracas. New England
was shaken by an earthquake in 1755,
and California has been visited by
many shocks, the most severe being in
1868, when damage amounting to $lO,-
000,000 was done in San Francisco
alone.
From what can be ascertained, no
damage has been done in any locality
visited by the earthquake.
At the time of the shock two officers
who were walking through the passage
in the basement of the City Hall, de
scribe the effect as awful, and they
made better time in getting into the
square than they ever made before in
their lives.
The buildings of the Augusta Fac
tory were very badly shaken, but
being constructed in the strongest
manner, they did not yield to the
terrible strain they were subjected to.
The members of Empire Lodge, I. O. G.
TANARUS., were in session at the time, and the
members were so frightened that they
gave up business and ran into the
street.
A gentleman, well known In financial
circles, who lives in one of the most
substantial houses on Mclntosh street,
which was budt three-quarters of a
century ago, describes the vibrations
as being very violent.
From all reports received, the shocks
appear to have been most severe at
Union Point.
Professor Rains has written us the
following very interesting letter, which
gives a scientific explanation of the
matter:
Augusta, November 2,1875.
Earthquakes are disturbances of the
crust of the earth, caused by some ac
tion of the interior fiery liquid, which
constitutes the great mass of the globe.
This crust constituting the hardened
shell and surface, is probably not over
an average of fifty miles in thickness,
and does not bear a larger proportion
or thickness to the earth itself, than a
covering of paper over a ball two feet
in diameter. Hence, it is easy to un
derstand that any disturbance what
ever in the melted mass below would
probably cause some wave-like move
ment, or vibratory action in the rocky
strata of this thin crust. The causes
of such disturbances are probably of
several kinds —such as the infiltration
of water through cracks, forming vast
volumes of imprisoned steam of enor
mous tension, which would necessarily
seek to escape through some vent, pro
ducing volcanic explosions and erup
tions. The gradual cooling down of
the earth itself would cause disturb
ances by the decreased size of the
great interior mass, and the increase
of the crust of crytallization
of previously melted matter. Thus
there would be produced a tendency of
the crust to wrinkle up, and this would
cause a gradual increasing tenoion on
the rocky strata, which at times would
give way at the weaker places; the
noises of the cracking rocks would
sound like the rolling of wheels over
the pavements, or like the rumbling of
distant thunder, accompanied with a
vibration or vertical jarring. Again,
should the atmosphere be considerably
lessened in height over an extended
area, indicated by what is called a low
barometer, the decreased pressure over
such surface might cause an upward
tendency in the liquid mass below; thus
great storms are not unfrequently ac
companied with earthquakes. The
electrical and magnetical forces of the
earth itself, or in connection with those
mighty explosions in the sun, which
cause a powerful disturbance of these
forces in the earth, may perhaps be at
times, efficient causes for perturbations
in the forces which hold the crust in
equilibrium. It does not follow that
an earthquake felt at any particular
locality may have there originated;
the focus of action may have been
many hundreds of miles away,
and the wave of disturbance like
a tidal wave of the sea, may have
traveled over an extended area.—
Sounds are far better conducted by
rocky masses than by the air, and
travel much greater distances. Violent
earthquakes precede or accompany
volcanic eruptions, hence the latter are
looked upon as safety valves giving
outlet to the imprisoned gases. All
countries having active volcanoes are
liable to repeated earthquakes, and the
Inhabitants have great dread of their
effects. Whilst in Mexico, our army
found the people muoh more affected
by an earthquake than ourselves : in
deed our respect for them increased
with our stay. Perhaps there is scarcely
a house of any size in the city of
Mexico, whose walls have not been
more or less disturbed, and numerous
cracks in the cathedrals and aqueducts
give indications of repeated action.
The jarring or vibratory earthquake
experienced last night, probably over a
large portion of the State, I think
probably, was due to the second of the
causes enumerated.

[Special to the Constitutionalist.!
Madison, Ga., November 2.-Last night
at 10 o’clock Madison was visited by a
severe shock of an earthquake. The
earth trembled, houses shook and many
were awakened from a sound sleep.
It lasted for near 2 minutes. On in
quiry this morning I learn it was felt
all over the city. Speculation is rife
this morning as to the cause. D.
Macon, Ga., November 2.—A very
perceptible earthquake was felt here
last night. It lasted at least 30 seconds
and shook windows, floors and walls.
It occurred about 10 o’clock.
Atlanta, Ga., November 2.—A dis
tinct shock of earthquake was felt here
and in other parts of the State last
night.
Washington, Ga., November 2,—At
five minutes to 10 o’clock last night
there were two severe shocks of earth
quake which continued for about 45
seconds, the second shock following al
most immediately on the first. The
direction was a little west of south.
There was a rumbling sound with
moving motion which shook the earth
and trembled houses causing some
alarm among the people.
THE COURTS.
Superior Court.
HON. WILLIAM GIBSON PRESIDING.
Court Officers. —Sheriff, C. H. Sibiey ;
Clerk, S. H. Crump; Bailiffs, Erwin
Hicks, T. C. Dortic, R. W. Rugg and M.
J. Deween.
Frank H. Miller, Esq., appeared be
fore the Court on Monday, as counsel
for Marie Ann Dougherty in a suit
against I. P. Girardey, administrator
and Andrew M. Moore, et al. The
papers in the case, show that Marie
Anne Dougherty, minor child of Marie
Ann Angelique Dougherty, formerly
Girardey, represented by Edward W.
Harker, her next friend files this bill
for account, injunction and relief
against the defendant, I. P. Girardey,
as executor of Marlin Frederick, and
as executor of Catherine M. Frederick.
The property in question—the Opera
House—was sold January 9, 1867, and
was conveyed by I. P. Girardey, as ad
ministrator, to his brother, Camille
E. Girardey, who reconveyed
the property back to I, P. Girardey,
for the same consideration. The inter
est of this minor in the estates not hav
ing been paid, the bill seeks to set aside
the sale, and enjoin Mr. Moore, who
holds the mortgage from I. P. Girar
dey, and which he intended to sell un
der foreclosure.
The court directed the following or
der to issue:
Augusta, November 1, 1875.
Let this bill be filed, and copies served on
such of respondents with this order, who
will show cause before me on the 13th inst.
why the injunction asked should not be
granted; and, in the meantime, the Sheriff
will postpone said sale to the first Tuesday
in December, and await all lurther pro
ceedings until the further orders of the Su
perior Court of Richmond county.
Wm. Gibson,
Judge Superior Court.
In the case of Washington C. Kelly,
on trial for killing William Reily,
on the 11th of January, 1875, the Court
met yesterday pursuant to its adjourn
ment of the day before,, caused from
the sudden and much regretted illness
of Solicitor-General Jackson.
The jury having been selected on the
previous day, the case was immediately
! opened by the introduction of evidence
by the State.
The State introduced but two wit
nesses, a Mr. Lycet and Dr. Sterling
Eve, whose testimony merely went to
establish the direction of the shot
which produced the death of the de
ceased.
The defense introduced betwen fif
teen and twenty witnesses during the
day, and as it would be impossible to
present to our readers the volume of
testimony which was taken during the
trial we will give a short synopsis of
the evidence and the sole lice of de
fense used by the counsel for the
prisoner. All the witnesses establish
the fact of Capt. Kelly being the
Superintendent of the cotton yard at
the Port Royal Railroad ; that Reiley
was a night watchman in the same
yard; that Reiley through negli
gence and disippatlon was discharged,
which discharge was through the in
strumentality of Capt. Kelly ; that this
caused Reily to fan into existence a
! violent and unqenchlble hatred to
! wards Kelly to whom he attributed
| the loss of his position. All the wit
nesses substantiated each other in af
firming constant threats made by
Reiley against the life of Kelly, which
threats were communicated to the
: ears of Kelly.
That Reiley told Kelly to his face
that he had better watch him, as he
had made the threats and would carry
them out before sundown on that day.
The testimony then went on to prove
that Reiley approached. Capt. Kelly
warned him to leave or he would have
him removed. Reiley returns, walking
directly towards Kelly with his right
hand in his pocket, when Kelly shoots
him.
The sole line of defense being that
section of the Code of Georgia which
permits a man, when he has the fears
of a reasonable man, that some serious
bodily injury is about to be committed
on him, to defend himself by the death
of the person making the threats.
The examination closed at seven
o’clock, having lasted nearly twelve
hours.
The argument was then opened for
the defense by Major Cumming, who,
in a logical and well connected argu
ment, clearly showed the innocence of
his client, and sustained his reputation
as an attorney of eloquence and
j strength. Judge Twiggs followed, also
for the defense, and in a powerful
speech of about two hour’s iu length,
exhibited all the latent fire of his
nature, and it was considered by many
that he made the finest effort of his
life—touching every point of his case
with elucidating power, and causing
his client to appear a persecuted yet
innocent man.
Solicitor General Jackson followed,
and combatted with all his strength,
the arguments of opposing counsel,
and, after an able, earnest and eloquent
appeal to vindicate justice, in behalf of
the State, he closed ; ana the case, af
ter an able charge by his Honor Judge
Gibson, was given to the jury about 11
o’clock. As the jury had not agreed
on a verdict at midnight, the court ad
journed until this morning at 9 o’clock.

Attempted Murder.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock, on Monday
evening, as S. W. Howland, the Super
intendent of the Graniteville Manufac
turing Company at Graniteville, was on
his way homeward from his office, he
was shot at from behind by some un
known person and severely wounded.
At the moment of the shooting, Mr.
Howland was crossing the railroad,
and it is supposed the assassin was be
hind a tree near Henderson’s store,
thirty steps off. The general supposi
tion is, that the villain intended to
murder Mr. Howland as he passed
Henderson’s store, but was deterred
from his purpose by the presence of a
boy who was putting up the store
shutters, and who went into the store
just as the shooting occurred. The
wounds were apparently inflicted with
duck shot, the worst Injuries being in
the side of Mr. Howland’s face and the
back of his neck and right shoulder,
and while they are very painful, are
not considered dangerous. A man was
observed early in the evening lurking
around, and his conduct was considered
very suspicious. There are rumors
afloat that the motive for this das
tardly deed was revenge for some fan
cied injury. H. H. Hickman, Esq.,
President of the Graniteville Compa
ny, has offered a reward of SSOO for the
apprehension of the villain, and is de
termined to leave no means untried to
secure his arrest. The people of Gran
iteville, who respect Mr. Howland high
ly, are very much excited about the
matter, and universally execrate the
deed. _

Doctors and Druggists.
The tripartite disagreement between
doctors, druggists, and the laity at
large, concerning proprietorship in
prescriptions, bids fair, says the New
York World, to become j| prominent
issue in medical politics. I Simultane
ously on both sides of tfia Atlantic,
arises a waii over the loss bf potential
fees through the extra-professional re
petition of recipes; the only difference
being that the British conjplaint takes
the form of a protest agalnbt abandon
ing the time-honored custoie of the gen
eral practitioner’s dispensing his own
medicines, whilst in Amerila it is pro
posed to revert to this cuepom, which,
save in the case of here |ind there a
rural saddle-bag Esculapifn, has long
been reliquished as infra dig. An Eng
lish practitioner recounts in print how
in a moment of unguarded pride he was
led to write a prescription: for a gouty
patient who had heretofore yielded
him an average income pt £3O per
annum, and how his pofyagravating
person immediately avowg that for
three years since he has hud the same
prescription made up whenever he felt
the gout coming on. “What is worse,”
exclaims the injured and insulted
leech, “is that he has give;n the same
prescription to all his gdity friends
whom he would otherwise nave recom
mended to me ; and even :,he chemist
makes it up now, and soils it as bis
‘famous gout pills and mixture.’ Thus,
for ten shillings I have sold an income
of say fifty pounds a year and I am
not consoled by the reflection that my
patient and his friends are really bet
ter off, for though they • are saving
money, they are all in all probability
abusing my alkaline eolebidym mixture
and injuring their constitutions.” An
American physician, writing to the
Philadelphia Medical Timex,, also urges
that doctors should furnisli drugs as
well as advice, but, keeping selfish
considerations in the |>ackground,
founds his argument chiefly on the op
posite argument of saving [ expense to
the patient, who Bometin]es finds the
druggist’s bill as large as *hat of the
attending physician. i
First Baptist Church.
The repairs which were commenced
the first of last July, ori the First
Baptist Church—Rev. M. Wharton,
D. D. pastor—are nearly | completed,
and it is expected that thtf auditorium
will be ready for occuparjsy so as to
have service in it on the l&th inst.
The repairs* enlargements and im
provements have cost in ttfe neighbor
hood of $15,000, and this church edi
fice has now one of the flmyit interiors
in Georgia. ’ l\
The new chapel, built i|i part from
the materials in the old one, is nicely
arranged for the purpose! for which
it was built, and will comfortably ac
commodate 400 persons. There are
two elegant parlors which ( pen off from
the chapel, with folding doors between,
so that they can be thrown into one
room if necessary. These two rooms
will be a very important adjunct iu the
social gatherings of the c4ogregation,
and we are glad to know tit at it is the
intention of the accomplished and
learned gentleman who is pastor of the
church, to have frequent social gather
ings of his flock. The I auditorium
shows a fine taste in the|3election of
colors of the frescoing, themain color,
being brown with shade? of French
gray,white and blue. The paws are pain
ted in imitation of black p ain at with
panels of French chesnmi The gal
leries are painted in thejUame style
with a border of gilt around the pan
els, causing a beautiful pffect. Two
pews have been from the
front of the altar, which isja great im
provement. The baptismal foust has
been enlarged and in the rear
part of the platform, and l|ehind it is a
fine pillar perspective in fresco, which
makes it appear as thougp there was
an alcove. The gas and ceiling
reflectors, have been improved and re
paired, and also the windows. Our
Baptist friends may wellUe proud of
what might almost be tinned their

Anent the play of “T|.3 Two Or
phans,” which will be presented at the
Opera House to-night byrihose popu
lar players—Rose and Han y Watkins—
an exchange says :
" ‘The Two Orphans’ is described as
a romantic drama. This it;is, no doubt,
but it is entitled to anothe; description
as well. It is in fact icjalodramatic.
There is, however, a broad: distinction
to be drawn between the: melodrama
which it represents, and t hat which is
ordinarily understood by the term. It
is a melodrama of refineto mt, of deep
pathos, of keen anguish, o* bitter suf
fering, of brave contention between
love and duty, as against t|iat of other
melodramas, of brawl and, bloodshed,
of tawdry sentiment, of blatant de
fiances and vigorous vulgarity. The
piece is one of surpassing power, of
strong situations, of contUjuous action
and of marvelously effect!fy tableaux.
It is a story which, iu all aspects, is
presented with amazing fojee. It pre
sents a picture without veakness or
blemish. The acting is quite worthy
of the drama.”
This evening, the Washu.gtom Tem
perance Dramatio Club, give a select
entertainment at Bethesdiv Hall. This
excellent amateur organization will
perform the beautiful astd thrilling
temperance drama in five £>ots entitled,
“Ten Nights in a Bar-rodm.” There
will also be tableaux and friug3. From

pass an evening of pleasuna.

A Railroad Charity.
[Philadelphia Times.!
J. Edgar Thomson, late President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
who died May 25th, 1874, provides in
his will, after the ordering of numerous
private bequests, that the trustees
shall appropriate the remainder to the
education and maintenance of female
orphans of railway employees whose
fathers may have been killed while in
the discharge of their duties—prefer
ence being given, first to the employes
engaged upon the Pennsylvania Rail
road ; second, to those of the Georgia
Railroad, between Augusta and At
lanta ; third, to those of the lines
controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, by lease or otherwise; and
fourth, to those of the employes of any
other railroad company of the United
States of America. The executors of
the estate are Henry C. Spackm in and
George B. Roberts. At a recent meet

Joseph A. Clay, Esq., the executors
presented, as the assets of the estate,
a cash balance of $19,025.68, and assets
in hand to the value of $1,056,214 45.
Claims to the amount of $131,298.65,
proved and admitted by the Orphans’
Court, were presented and directed to
be paid. The largest claim was that
of the London, Asiatic and American
Company for amount remaining due on
a guarantee of J. Edgar Thomson and
others for drafts drawn on the compa
ny to the amount of $107,251.31. Other
claims were presented but not acted
upon, as follows : Miscellaneous, $lO,-
877.59 ; executors of Samuel Yeasey,
for 17 promissory uotes, $134,500; claim
of Sulzbach Bros, for themselves and
others, bondholders of the Daven
port and St. Paul Railroad Company,
disputed by the administrators, $1,000,-
000. The auditor, in his report to
Judge Hanna, states that there are suffi
cient assets to meet all the claims. If,
however, the claim of Sulzbach Bros,
can be sustained, the desire of the tes
tator to establish the public institu
tions described in his will cannot be car
ried into effect. The claim is for an alleg
ed issue of bonds beyond the amount
authorized by the progress of the rail
road to completion. It is claimed that
Mr. Thomson is liable as trustee for the
excess so issued, and also as a mem
ber of a construction company through
which the bonds were negotiated. This
claim is disputed by the administra
tors, as is also that of the Yeasey es
tate, on the ground that in this case
Mr. Thomson was only secondarily
liable.
Auction Sales.
The usual monthly auction sales
were held at the Market House yester
day, but there was but a small attend
ance of buyers. The following were
the most important sales effected:

Judge Levy, for SSO; forty acres are
said to be good valley land. They of
fered 859 acres of laud, situate on the
Georgia Railroad, about twenty miles
from Augusta, and as $2 an acre was
the highest offer, it was withdrawn.
Four horses were sold for S4O, $37, S4O,
and SBS, respectively. A common
mule was sold for $45.
Ramsey & D'Antignac.

Personal.
W. G. Jones, City Sheriff, is suffering
from a very heavy cold, but is still
able to be around and attend to busi
ness.
A curious feature of social existence
in Stark county, Ind., is that every
widow in the county owns a cranberry
swamp. In consequence no married
man dare buy one, for fear that he will
shortly leave his wife one of the noble
band of cranberry widows.
