EARTHQUAKE.
MACON AVD COVINGTON A R.
L**'Athens experienced on Tuesday
night, the most remarkable seif Bat
on of this century. Living people
recall nothing like it. It is doubtfal
whether our dead, who lived in war,
times and grew up in stormy periods
ever confronted the ewe-inspiring
* feeling’ which six shocks of earth
quake dealt about this city night
before last. Those who felt it will
never forget it; in fifty years from
now the great shock of 1886 will
be a thrilling reminiscence.
The night was dear and cool.
The troublous equinoctial season,
* which draws winds from their
caverns and wheels shooting stars
from their orbits,was just commenc
ing. These disturbances are more
frequent at this time. “The gods
come sometimes thus.” The earth-
quake is a new comer among ut.
The cyclone is an old friend; the
pestilence is not unknown—but the
earthquake with its ominous tremor
and threatened yawns, is a denizn
of Spain and Italy and South Am
erica, and is out of his element in
Athens.
But disorders are changing like
everything else, and as we are con
fronting forms ot diseases formerly
unknown,we may live to familiarise
ourselves with the earthquake and
be more accustomed to his coming.
The experiences give in our local
columns to-day are varied and' in
teresting—some ot them amusing;
but the sensation was an alarming
one and the rocking of the earth was
reminder to good and bad alike, o(
the power of that God who balds
this planet in the very hollow of his
hand, and who controls with
touch sll the powers of natur
The authorities declare that no
parts of the earth are free
from this phenomenon. Often
the shakings arc imperceptible—
save to scientific instruments; fre
quently they are productive ol fear
ful destruction of life and property,
In Italy and Sicily no century has
elapsed since the earliest period of
history that has not felt frequent if
not severe earthquakes. In three
years 947 shocks were felt and 501
in one year. In 1783 the Calabria
earthquake killed 100,000 people
was felt all over Europe and
destroyed the city of Messina. In
A. D. 63 the cities of Pompeii and
Herculaneum were partially de
’ atroyed. In 1S55 and ’57 earth
quakes occurred at Naples and Lis
bon. In 1S61 another occurred in
Switzerland. In 1755, however,
the principal portion of Lisbon was
thrown down, the sea retired, leav
ing a dry bar, but returning in a ti
dal wave. Over 60,000 people per
ished in six minutes, and a part of
the was city engulfed 600 feet. Other
earthquakes are mentioned in an
cient and modern history. In 1S11
the famous earthquake occurred in
Missouri, in the United States. The
ground rose and sunk in great un
dulations, the surface burst open
in fissures; lakes were ‘ formed
and drained,and water was spouted
in muddy streams. The disturban
ces continued until March 26, 1S12,
when they ceased. In New Eng
land the earthquake of November
'755 was the most severe. This
was a reverberation ot the Lisbon
disturbance. In Massachusetts
.roaring noise was first heard, then a
a shock and swell—then lesser
shocks—then a violent shock sue
ceedcd by horizontal tremor with
jerks and wrenches. Numeious
shocks followed in the course of the
month, and the |fact that these are
periodical, seems to justify the be
lief that we may expect return
shocks in Athens during the next
thirty or sixty days. In Boston
chimneys and buildings and walls
were thrown down. In 1870 oc
currcd another shock. The veloc
ity of the wave was 14,000 feet per
second. In California a severe
shock was felt in March 1872 and
, walls of public buildings in San
Francisco*were badly cracked.
Mexico has suffered in time se
verely. West Indies is subject to
fiequent shocks, Port Royal, the
capital of Jamaica, having in 1692
been sunk beneath the sea.
South America is the land of
earthquakes. In March 1812 the
city of Caracas, Venezuela, was
destroyed by three shocks.
186S Ecuador was demolished. Cal
lao in Peru was destroyed in 1586
and again in 1746, Three dcstruc
rive earthquakes have visited Chili
Mendoza in the Argentine Repub
lic was overturned in March 1861
and in Beunos Ayres 12,000 per
sons arc supposed to have been
killed. The most severe earthquake
ever known occurred in the Hawa
iian Islands in 1871. It lasted 50
or 60 seconds, the motion being
vertical. Japan and the East Indies
have had cities destroyed.
The ultimate cause oi earthquakes
is thought to be due]to the molecular
contraction of the earth. The inte
rior of the earth cooling contracts
more rapidly than the exterior.
This makes the earth's crust press
heavily upon itselt in a lateral direc
tion. This great -pressure often
causes the earth's crust to break,
making fissces. This breaking
and the slipping which follows
produces a concussion or jar, which
jar traverses the earth in great
waves, similar to waves made by
throwing a stone into a aril! pond.
Most people have no idea how
frequent these dangerous visitors
• are. A distirguished scientist has
•stiff ated that there are two a day
somewhere in the known world.
This being the case it is probable
that if ObMrvations could be made
in savage countries and in the ocean
it Would be found that this earth of
ours is constantly quaking in some
irface.
DINING IN BERLIN. IS
We are compelled to say that
there is a difference of opinion in
our community as to the advantages
the proposed new railroad- will
bring to Athens. The majority of
our people favor the new line and
believe it will give us a valuable
local feeder as well as an important
trunk route. Others declare that it
will open up much of our present
territory to the city of Macon, thus
dividing our wholesale trade; while
by establishing a competing point
at Madison or Covington, will draw
away our shipping advantages and
reduce our cotton receipts. We be
lieve we have stated these objec
tions fairly.
The Banner-Watchman is not
among those who arc eager lor any
sort of railroad, in any direction.
We can conceive of railroads dam
aging a city more than benefiting it,
and routes which are made through
country already supplied with
carrying service, should not be
encouraged simply because they
aic new enterprises.
We have examined the prospec
tus of the Macon and Covington
Railroad, and do not find that
either of these objections hold. The
following are the points set out in
the pamphlet before us. The road
is designed to extend northward
from Macon to Athens, and South
ward to an intersection with the
Plant system of Georgia and Flori
da Railroads. The line between
Macon and Athens is already un
der construction, a distance of gt
miles, and a large and effective
force is engaged in the work, 15,000
tons ot steel rails haviug been pur
chased.
The local advantages of such a
route are easily sketched. The road
will run through a district rich in
the products of field and mine and
mill. Much of this country has
been for a long time settled and is
in urgent need ot roads for haulin
products to convenient market.
This rich belt of country is the fi
nest fruit-growing part of Georgia;
the population of these counties
has increased twenty-five per cent
rince 1SS1, and this belt from 30
•o 40 miles in width, is without
railroad. The road will draw on
this section for its wealth of lumber,
cattle, naval stores, fruits and food
supplies. The best practical evi
dence, outside of an actual descrip
tion of versatility of climate, soil and
yield, is the significant fact that
nearly three fourths of the people in
this section are farmers.
The line is designed to connect
the Richmond and Danville system
on the north, with the Plant system
on the south,traversing the State for
through business, and connecting
these two systems together for car
rying the traffic which flows from
these great sections of our country.
Such briefly,are the advantages pre
sented by this route.
We do not hesitate to give our
public support to such an enter
prise which will give Athens
chance at this *rich business and
identify Athens with this great sys
tern. We do not pretend that the
line will be built for the exclusive
advantage of Athens, for it will ben
efit Macon and Midison and every
town along the route; but we be
lieve with the start our merchants
have in securing the trade of these
people; with the business facilities
we ofler, and the capital we can
command, may a thousand bales ol
cotton and hundreds of thousand
dollars trade will be turned into this
city by the new railroad. ,
Suppose a competitive point is
established where the road crosses
the Georgia Railroad; are we to
oppose the building, of any fine
simply because it crosses some oth
er line?- Let Madison put up her
compresses and secure her freight
rates—cannot Athens hold its oWn
with Madison? Was Atlanta deter
red from cheering in the great East
Tennessee system because it would
give Macon and Chattanooga, and
Rome and Dalton competitive
freight rates and better facilities?
Was Augusta frightened from
building the Augusta and Spartan
burg Railroad) simply because !
crossed the R. & D. lines at Green
wood and at Spartanburg? These
places are competitive points, but
the advantages of these roads to
those cities whence, they were pro
jected, cannot be fully estimated in
hundreds of thousands now.
Let us hear no more timid pre
dictions about the Macon and Cov
ington Railroad hurting Athens!
The Banner-Watchman prints
this rooming a review of the cotton
trade ohAtbeps for the season end-
ing yesteiday. It is full ot facts
and ripe with suggestions. We re-
years, or the receipts for i885-’86
by months. These things wilt be
more strictly looked after in future;
indeed, as the importance of Athens
as a cotton market, is established, all
the matter connected with this in-
teiest must be published anu pit-
served.
The record so farir most assuring.
The increase in receipts for the
past year is 8,217; for two seasons
back 16.49S. Every year tells the
same story of larger receipts and
better quality of cotton. Cotton in
deed has ceased to be a product of
the low country and the black belt.
The growing demand of the woild;
the productive power of the fertili
zer; the improve I method of cultiva
tion have spread the plant over the
highlands of Georgia and brought
i(n care into hands more progres
sive and more experienced. The
railroads are vieing with the steam
boats in moving the crop, and the
large warehouses and powerful
compresses which once wee con
fined to the seashore and the wharf,
have been translerred in part, to tLe
interior markets. The buyer and
the producer bave come nearer to
gether; the mat gins of middlemen
nave fallen; the expenses of hand
ling have been reduced, and the
growth of a market like Athens in
Northeast Georgia has shown how
thoroughly the old system of cotton
business has been revolutionized.
In ten years our crop receipts have
been trebled and ether business more
than doubled.
All these things arc assuring.
Tney show what industry and en
terprise may accomplish. They
suggest that we extend our business
in every possible way, by offering
every possible facility. Reasona
ble charges for handling, small mar
gins of profits, quick returns and
speedy conversion of capital, spa
cious warehouse room, extension of
railroad facilities, improvement of
transportation rates, retention of
ample.bank facilities, invitation ol
trade by low prices and full stocks,
encouragement of cotton mills are
all factors in successful business.
Most of these we have secured
All of them we must have. Athens
has made tremendous strides in
building up a cotton business, and
these figures in a few years must
mount up beyond 100,000 bales.
Reflection upon past improvement
is empty unless it invites to future
exertion. Athens must control the
business of Northeast and East-
Middle Georgia and our business
men have a chance of making this
city the Macon and Columbus of this
part of the State by combining the
commercial and manufacturing
teatures of these two growing
Georgia cities.
An Athens expert approximates
the ten years receipts for us:

DYNAMITE IN AUGUSTA.
Dastardly Attempt to Blow Up a Chlna-
Augusta, Aug. 29.—[Special]
The prejudice against the Chinese
in Augusta culminated Sunday
night by an attempt to blow up
Charlie Loo Chong’ in bed. Dyna-1
mite waa used under the flooring.
Chong was away at the time and
hit bed was toin to ahreda. No
jelueyet. •
The police are trying to find out
jthe perpetrator. It la known that
he Chinese have .lately been en-
ouraging opium smoking, and this
iay have led to the outrage. Or
{Mae-jealous retail dealer may bave
planted the cartridge. There it
strong feeling here against Chinese,
and the poor fellows are huddling
top in a heap to-night trying to
keep out of harm’s way.
The retirement of Mr. ScoviUe

0UB COTTON ARTICLE.
Those of our merchants who
wish to distribute copies' of the
Banner Watchman containing
the Cotton Review tor 1SS6, can se
cure extra numbers of our Weekly
with it by sending in orders at once
to this office. Brought to the at
tention of their patrons by the mail,
this article may be a good starter
for the year.
The next Georgia delegation in
the House of Representatives will
doubtless be like the present one—
solid for revenue reform. But there
are no free traders.
The earthquake has been shaking
up Augusta, Ga., r. tlirns. Gieece,
and Alexandria, Egypt. This dis
crimination against Athena, Ga., is
marked.
The Berliners are not a dinner-giving
people at present. It was different
twenty yean ag». when the Berlin haute
finance distinguished itaelf by giving lux
urious banquets. Sven thq, well-intro
duced stranger on arriving at Berlin now
has to depend for his experience ot the
native cuisine on tht restaurants and
hotels. He will find at the latter not un-
frequently a company of men who in the
large cities'of America would dine at their
dnba. On entering a Berlin restaurant
about 2 o'clock the chances are that yon
will flnd yourself In company with well-
dressed ladies, superior officers, and sven
high officials and privy councillors, with
n lew young lieutenants, who show their
good breeding by placing themselves in
front of the looking glasses and combing
their hair before taking their seats.
At tbs Kaiaerhof each nationality ""
dine according to its particular taste,
cooks of the principal European countries
being engaged on the staff. The estab
lishment, although all its appointments
are excellent, is not very well patronized,
probably because Its tariff is too high for
Berlin. The hotel tables d'hote of this
city mainly differ from those of the famil
iar German watering pfoces in the com
pany being less cosmopolitan. At the
qnieter ones considerable sociability pre
vails, helped, no doubt, by the old custom
of the landlord taking the head of the
1 table and dining with the guests. The
Berliner loves sonps, of which he has a
large variety. Some of the most favored
“snppen" are “Felner Gries in Milch*
(milk tea with eggs floating on top of it).
"Snppevon Riudflelsch mlt gebackenem
Mark” (beef tea with balls of marrow,
eggs, and bread crumbs).
* GERMAN NATIONAL DISHES. ,
There are a number of German national
dishes, the merits ot which can not be
gainsaid. Goose with stuffing of pounded
chestnuts, prunes and apples mixed with
calf's liver, onions, eggs, and various
^spices, Is a standard dish at most restau
rants of the city. Yon can also have par
tridge cooked and wrapped up In vine
leaves, with rashers of bacon, and fowls
cooked In Jelly. Roast partridges with
sauerkraut Is a good variation ot the
French perdrlx aux ehoux. Hebbratcn
(venison) with cream sauce Is not to be
despised, and smoked Pommeranlan goose
breasts, Westphalia hams, Brunswick
sausages, and sundry other German house
dishes, many of which are also exported,
have gained a world-wide renown. The
partiality of the Germans for beer appeals
In several departments of cookery. Beer
soap is common enough, and so .Is beer
sauce, especially with carps and eels, for
which the best of -weias beer* Is used.
Beef stowed in beer and flavored with
spices is a favorite dish. Among Kolte-
scholen (cold drinks) “Bier Kaltechales'
holds the first place. Every known veg
etable, when cooked plain. Is eaten cold as
a salad, besides which there Is herring
salad with the fish chopped fine mixed
with potatoes, onions, apples, and pepper,
end moistened with oil, vinegar, and
cream.
To wash down the miscellaneous solids
there Is a choice of very different wines.
Beer, which has supplemented wines
at the dinner tables ot some of the
best Vienna hotels, is not countenanced
by the higher class restaurateurs and hotel
keepers of Berlin, with whom the con-
sumption of wine is a matter qf stern ex-
lectation. The average Berliner in his
ndgment of wine Is guided largely by the
mbel on the bottle and the -seal on the
cork.
The time for dinner at the principal ho
tels is 3 o'clock. A very fair dinner can be
had for 11.25. The higher class restau-'
rants, Unter den Linden, WUhelmstrosse,
Bellevnestrasse, and the West End, are
the best places for becom'ng acquainted
with the current of public opinion. At
these a good dinner, withont wine, can be
hod for seventy-five cents and upward.
Thete are hundreds of leu expensive din
ing places In Berlin, and an excellent din
ner may even be obtained at some res
taurants for twenty-five cento.
At all these establishments table nap
kins are supplied, but generally of tissue
paper with a colored ornamental border,
not onlybecause paper is cheaper than
Unen, but as a protection against pilfer
ing. So common are paper table napkins'
in Berlin that the manufacturers adver
tise them regularly lu the newspapers at
the rate of fj a thousand, about five for a
cent.
TnE GOLDEN SAUSAGE.
An enterprising proprietor of one of
these popular restaurant has Instituted
what he call the “Dinner of the golden
uusage,* the great attraction of which is
the Insertion In every thirtieth sausage
for his guests of a small gold coin (about
•1), which becomes the property of the
individual to whose lot it chances to fall.
The guests of the place are seated around
the numerous tables, each of which ac
commodates thirty persons. All the eat
ers are moving their Jaws most cautiously.
Of those favored by fortune some are un
able to conceal their satisfaction, while
others try to convey the coin unperceived
from the mouth to the pocket. As a mat
ter of cAirse every one is obliged to mas
ticate bis food slowly, instead of bolting it
in the American fashion, otherwise the
tiny gold coin might slip down his gullet
unawares.
Should your engagements occupy you
until post 4 o’clock in the afternoon and
compel you to forego dining until that
hour, you must make up your mind
wait until time for supper comes or not
dine at alL This is the invariable custom
here. If you enter a restaurant hungry
after 4 o’clock the waiter of the most In
significant ot these places will present you
on your arrival with a bill of fare of tbe
customary enormous proportions, 00
which figure some hundred bore d’eurres,
Fisch, Gemuse, Braten, Mehlspeisen, and
Salate.
You finally ask him what he has got,
and 'Schweitserkase mit Butter* is tbe
Invariable reply. Perhaps in the place
of the Schweitzer you may secure some
IAmbnrger, which enjoys the reputation
of smelling most alayuinably and tasting
most delightfully. The lest, however,
may be open to question, though not the
former. With your cheese and hotter,
•Schwarzbrod* will certainly be brought
you. This bread, made of rye, is said to
