At his home in Madison Sunday morn
ing Rev. David E. Butler breathed his
last. He was widely known throughout
the state, lie had held many positions
of prominence, having been president of
the Baptist convention of the state of
Georgia, grandmaster of the grand lodge
of the state, president of the board of
trustees of Mercer university, Macon,
Ga., and also of the Masonic Female col
lege, formerly at Covington, Ga., and
also of the Baptist Female college at
Gainesville, besides many other posi
tions of less importance.

One George Jackson has been Writ
ing from Screven county to the Boston
Herald , misrepsenting its people fear
fully. The young man was overhauled
by a few determined citizens and made to
sign a note of retraction, in which was
embodied the assertion that he was a liar
by profession, he being paid for such ar
ticles by the Boston paper. A coating of
tar and feathers should have been thrown
in with a sound cow-biding. It is from
the kind of material such fellew
produces that the Northern press are al
ways waving the bloody shirt.
Our Tabernacle.
The Tabernacle of Cartersville is a cer
tainty. Pluck, energy, enterprise and
religion have built it.
The good people of Bartow, whose
name is legion, together with friends
elsewhere, have built a monument which
will stand forever. The timber of the
structure may decay and turn to dust,
but the picture of the Cartersville Union
Tabernacle has been stamped upon Heav
en’s camera and the recording angel
knows the amount of credit due to every
one participating in this good work.
The exercises begin to-morrow and
will continue ten days or it may be long
er. The leading spirit of the meeting is
Sam. Jones. In the summer of 1884 he
conceived the idea of holding union
meetings in the county every summer or
fall. That year the first of tlKxse union
meetings was held and much good was
the result. Another was held in the fol
lowing year and much more was accom
plished for Christ. This year the old
“bush arbor” was done away with and
out of its ruin now rises our Tabernacle.
It is the pride of all the good people of
our county and that it will do much good
there is no doubt. This has been chiefly
done by Sam. Jones, but great credit is
due to many of our citizens. Our resi
dent ministers, together with visiting
ministers will ably assist Mr. Jones in
the conduct of the exercises.
To the public at large all extend a cor
dial invitation to be present and partici
pate in the exercises and let the result
be what it will, no harm will be done.
Much good can undoubtedly be accom
plished and those who have never heard
Sam Jones will be afforded the opportu
nity to hear his tender appeals to the bet
ter sensibilities of nature, then to laugh
over some of his striking originalities
and be moved to heed the striking truths
he so pointedly illustrates.
Our Executive (?) Committees.
The Bartow county democracy has
two lively, pugnacious, don’t-care-a-ding
executive committees. The birth of
these worthies date as far back as the late
mass meeting, which split up unceremo
niously and ended in a farce, and for
ever sealing the fate of mass meetings
so far as Bartow county 1? concerned.
In our local columns this week will
be found a picture, of what we cannot
say—probably of a happy family. The
picture, or the pair of pictures, make a
collection of art that will be hard to
beat. One wants another mass meeting
and the other says nay, and no prospect
of their coming together presents itself
in view. They are about as far apart as
when they withdrew from the -oonrt
house on the day of the fatal mass meet
ing. The people are looking silently on/
not caring which gets on top, or how the
light will end. They think it is only
the aftermath of the great mass meeting,
and have a faint idea that this is the way
organized democracy is advanced. They
are happy, and while the festive execu
tive committees growl and light they
will march to the polls and yote regard
less of any instruction from either.
It remains to be soon X.-hether Bartow
will have less tlran two executive com
mittees. The presfnt two seem lively
enough and from presipt puppeots they
are liable to sojourn xvifli ws some
time. They are still in the ring and not
the least disfigured. The people will
compose an appreciative audience and
will watch the different rounds with
great interest. While the youngsters
are puljing wool a hint is going around
the circle that a republican candidate
will come Into the field for the legisla
ture. Being a very popular gentleman,
who cau count solid friends all day long
among democrats and republicans, he
will be voted for by a great mhny.
There is a hearty disposition among good
democrats to teach the so-called execu
tivecommittees a hearty lesson by elect
ing this clever republican.
A GENUINE SHAKER.
Old Mother Earth Growls and Jostles
the People of the Whole Country.
Charleston, S. C. Thought to be the Center
of the Disturbance.
Old Mother Earth had a chill Tuesday
night—a regular buck ague.
She rolled and trembled on her couch
and made people quake with fear. Be
fore this week’s Courant reaches its
thousands of readers it will be generally
known that this country has experienced
a healthy earthquake. The news has
gone out and nothing that we can say
will add to its notoriety. The quake
was general over the entire country from
the lakes to the gulf. The
city of Charleston is cut oft' from all
communication and grave fears are en
tertained as to her safety. A large
bridge near the city is known to have
been shaken from its foundation, thus
showing that the shocks were terrific in
the neighborhood.
From telegrams published below it
will be found that the quake occurred
simultaneously over the entire country
about nine o’clock. Huge buildings
rolled and quivered as if ready to totter,
and in many instances people were pan
ic-stricken. The shock felt here was of
about the same force over the country.
In Cartersville and vicinity much con
sternation prevailed among the people,
in many instances whole families,
slightly clad, congregated in the middle
of the streets. The darkies generally
were uncontrollable and participated in
considerable yelling and praying. A
meeting was in progress at the colored
Baptist church, and when the shock was
first felt the congregation left the house,
some falling out of the windows while
crowds surged out at the doors. In the
jam many persons were slightly hurt
and one boy had an arm broken. One
old colored woman jumped out of a win
dow and succeeded in bruising herself
up considerably and cutting a deep gash
over her forehead.
a prayer answered.
The meeting of the colored folks had
progressed some time and the preacher
did not perceive any interest being felt
by his hearers. lie finally prayed to
Almighty God to prevail and do some
thing to show the derelict audience that
there was some supreme power. He
made a most earnest prayer that a sign
of some sort be made to convince them
of that fact. The prayer had hardly
left his lips before the windows of the
buildings began to rattle and the house
to roll. The preacher led the hosts out
the building instanter.
For some time after the shock a great
hullabaloo was kept up by the darkies
and they all thought the world was com
ing to an end. In many instances their
condition was indeed pitiable. They
were finally quieted.
Our people were never more horror
struck and men that were never known
to pray fell to their knees and began in
voking the blessing of the Lord. It
certainly was an awful time and well
calculated to bring a person to the con
sideration of the serious side of life.
As to the causes of earthquakes that
question has never been settled by the
eminent scientists of the day. Many
theories are advanced, and all seem very
. plausible.
AT SAVANNAH.
Savannah, August 31.—About 9:30 p.
m. this city was visited by a very severe
shock of earthquake, which was followed
at intervals of two three minutes by four
others. People in the city were thor
oughly terrified and rushed from their
houses into the streets and sought the
open squares and other places, where
they would be out of danger of the fall
ing buildings. The negroes were par
ticularly demonstrative and ran about
the streets wringing their hands and
givintr vent to exclamations of terror.
Several chimneys fell and many build
ings suffered other damage of a similar
nature. Clocks were stopped and lamps
and ornaments shaken from tables and
mantles. No buildings were demolished
so far as is known. At 1:30 p. m. no
lives were lost or injury to person re
ported.
Dispatches from surrounding towns
report an experience similar to that of
this city.
COLUMBIA, s. c.
Columbia, S. C., August 31. —A fear
ful shock of earthquake swept over this
city from the southwest at 9:48 to-night,
shaking the buildings fearfully, and since
then there have been ten violent shocks,
but none having the force of the first.
The first shock lasted fully three minuies,
and it looked as if the buildings would
be shaken down. Several chimneys
were thrown down in different parts of
the city, but so far no casualties are re
ported. k The streets were filled with
people getting away from their shaking
bouses, and children screamed in terror.
The compositors in the Register office
had to leave their cases several times, as
the building seemed to be in eminent
danger, and in the direct lines of the
shocks a large public meeting was being
held in the court house, but it adjourned
in a panic.
The walls of the court house were
cracked, and one portion badly so.
The colored people assembled in the
streets praying.
At this hour. 10:50 o’clock, people are
congregated on the streets and in the
yards fearing a reeurrance ot the earth
qiKixe.
CHARLESTON.
New York, August, 31.—Since the
earthquake shock there has been no tele
graphic communication with Charleston,
South Carolina, from any point in the
country. The telegraph authorities
have been unable to get press dispatches
or other comnmnications from there.
Tftte circumstance occasions great con
cern. That section of the country
seems to have been the centre of the dis
turbance.
Savannah, Ga., reports that the shock
wms the severest ever felt in that locality.
It is known that a bridge in the vicinity
of Charleston was shaken from its foun
dfctrott and wires all lost, but that is not
so erious as the fact that various other
points through which there should be
oonmaiinicatoin with that city, are unable
to get anything from them.
PANIC IN RICHMOND PENITENTIARY.
Richmond, Va., August 31.—The
shock of the earthquake was felt here at
9:55 pm. Houses were shaken, and in
some instances severely. Many persons
ran into the streets, some half dressed.
The shocked was generally felt through
out the city, and the excitement was in
tense. It it said by many persons to
have been a heavier shock than the one
which occurred here on the night of
December 22nd, 1875.
To increase the excitement the prisoners
in the penitentiary, about 800 iu number,
became panic stricken, and began a
great outcry and hammering on the doors
of the cells. The guards on duty en
deavored to quiet them without effect
whereupon the fire alarm was turned to
arouse the citzens, and soon thereafter a
call for the military was sounded by the
fire bells. The call was promptly re
sponded to and in a few minutes soldiers
were hastening to the scene. Company
after company reported for duty in rapid
succession. One colored company was
the first on the ground. While this was
going on the streets leading to the peni
tentiary were crowded with people ex
cited to an intense degree by exagger
ated reports that one of the walls of the
penitentiary had fallen in and killed a
number of convicts, and gotten out of
their beds and the guards were unable to
control them, all of which, however,
proved to be unfounded. In half an
hour’s time from 8,000 to 10,000 people
were in the vicinity of the penitentiary.
(At 11:30 Governor Lee drove out to
the scene, but before he arrived evry
thing had become quiet, the military
being on duty and the prisoners in their
cells.
AT ATLANTA.
Atlanta, August 31. —At 9 o’clock to
night there was an earthquake shock in
Atlanta that created a great sensation*
Busines houses on various streets were
shaken up, and the inhabitants have told
large stones. The truth seems to be that
on Alabama street and at the Kimball
House and the immediate vicinity the
shock was perceptibly felt.
VERY MILD IN CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, August 31—At9:16 p. m.,
city time, a slight shock of earthquake
was lelt here. The printers in the Sun
office started to run down stairs, thinking
the building was falling. The shock
was quite perceptible at the telephone
exchange and other buildings, but it was
not noticed much by persons in the
streets.
MEMPHIS.
Memphis, August 31. —A violent shock
of earthquake was experienced here at
8:56 to-night. Its motion was from
north to south, and lasted full ten seconds.
It had a rapid oscillating movement.
Great consternation w'as felt. Many
who were within their offices and resi
dences lied into the street. Numbers
who had retired, feeling the sensation,
rushed out of ther dwellings, not waiting
to dress themselves. Guests at the Pea
body Hotel hurried down stairs, thinking
the building was falling. It was the
same all over the city, and many women
went into hysterics. It was the severest
shock ever experienced in this section of
the country.
Avery distinct earthquake shock was
experienced in St Louis at nine o’clock
and lasted for about a quarter of a min
ute. The shock was not at all violent
and resembled the motion of a series of
water waves. Guests occupying the
upper floors of the Southern and Lindell
hotels rushed down the stairs badly
frightened, fearing that some catastrophe
was about to occur. At the Masonic hall
where a company of KnightsTemplar
were drilling, the pictures swung inward
from the walls. The shock was also felt
in the Missouri Republican building and
at other places throughout the city. No
casualties have yet been reported.
At 10 p. m., in Meadville, Pa., a shock
was felt, followed immediately by a
slighter shock, the whole lasting about
twenty seconds. The streets were at
once filled with people. Guests rushed
out of the hotels in their night clothes,
women and children were crying and
screaming, and every one was more or
less alarmed. As far as learned, no
damage has been done.
WRETCHED CHARLESTON.
THE PRINCIPAL PORTION OF THE CITY
DESTROYED.
Special to The Courant.
Atlanta, 4 p. m.—The following par
ticulars have just been received from
Charleston. It w r as necessary to go five
miles out of the city to attach an instru
ment to the telegraph wire:
Charleston, September 1. —shortly
after ten o’clock last night an earthquake
of such violence as never before was
seen in this city occurred. The whole
city was shaken violently, causing a
heavy loss of life and doing immense
damage to property.
The city is one mass of wreck. Streets
are completely blockaded with the de
bris of ruined houses, telegraph poles
and wires, etc. Vehicles of any kind
cannot be driven through the streets,
while pedestrianism is both dangerous
and difficult. The people have been in
the streets since the occurrence of the
first shock, wringing their hands, crying
alone to God to save him. Many fami
lies passed the whole night huddled to
gether in open places, some ot them
praying and continually imploring Di
vine intercession.
Opinions differ as to the number of
shocks which occurred. Some assert
that there were only two, while others
are positive that there were three. A
great many insint tha.t there were even
more. However this may be, the first
was the mos severe and kid the mest
damage. There are a large number of
buildings wrecked, but it is impoossible
to ascertain, in the present state of ex
citement, how many.
Several of the wrecked houses caught
on fire and are still burning in various
parts of the city, but no fears are enter
tained of the fires spreading. As far as
learned some sixty to seventy persons
have been killed and many wounded, and
it is fared that when a canvass of the
wrecked districts are made thi morning
will be materially augmented. A few of
the flames of those who have either lost
their lives or received fatal injuries
through the destruction of dwellings
have been ascertained. Among them are
the following: W. J. Lynch, Dr. R.
Alexander Hammond and Winslow Rob
inson, all white. The majority of the
victims are colored people. It is im
possible to give any estimate of loss to
property at present, but it is beleived it
will reach far up in the millions. The
city is completely isolated and at present
no means cf either entering or leaving
the citv are available.
At 8:25 precisely this morning anoth
er waye swept over this city, coming as
the others did, from the southeast and
going in a northwesterly direction. By
that time the people who had been out
in the bublic park and open places all
night had many of them returned into
their houses to get clothing and food.
The approach of the shock was hearalded
by the usual rumbling sound like distant
thunder. Then it gradually approaced
the earth, quivered and heaved, and in
three seconds it had passed away, the
sound dying out in distance. This is
the only wave felt since 9:29 last night.
The city is a complete wreck. St
Michael’s and St. Phillip’s, two of the
most historic churches in the city are in
ruins, so is Hibernian Hall, and many
other public buildings.
Fully two-thirds of the residences in
the place are uninhabitably wrecked,
others totally or partially.
It is impossible at this time to give a
correct estimate of casualties. It is ex
pected that between fifty and one hun
dred persons have been killed and sev
eral hundred wounded. At the time of
the first shock fire broke out in fiye pla
ces, and about twenty houses were de
stroyed. Scarcely 100 houses in the city
are occupied at this time.
The people are all encamped in open
places. All the stores are closed and a
scarcity of provisions is feared, not from
want of provisions, but because no one
can be got to open the stores to sell them.
BOILING WATER.
Wilmington, Sep. 1. —The train dis
patcher of the Atlantic Coast line just in
says their section maater, stationed 12
miles from Charleston, reports that the
shocked wrecked the bridge near there,
and says a negro from four miles north
of Charleston reported that the water
tank was down and the ground was dp
heaved, misplacing the tracks. That in
several places the ground was cracked
and boiling wat r was coming from it.
VERY LATEST
Atlanta, 7 p. m. —The wires are again
down and nothing can he heard from
Charleston. The opinion prevails heie
that the half has not been told.
THE WORLD SHAKEN UP.
Earthquakes on Doth Sides of the Atlantic.
Athens, August 28. —Greece has again
been visited by an earthquake, which
has been the most disastrous in Morea,
and in which the loss of life, according
to the best information, reaches the enor
mous figure of 600. The village of Pyrgo
and the town of Philiatra, both situated
on the western coast of Morea, were the
chief sufferers, and these furnish, it is
believed, all that have perished. In
Pyrgo not a house is left standing, while
Philitra is almost swept from the face of
the globe, swallowed up in convulsions
of the earth. Shocks were experienced
throughout Greece in a greater or less de
gree. In the town of Zante, every house
was damaged and the inhabitants fled in
terror to the open country. Several
towns in Italy were also visited by earth
quakes, but not to any serious extent,
Naples, Brindisi, Foggia, Caserta and
Taranta being the number.
An earthquake shock was experienced
at Athens at midnight. Advices from
Zante says that excessive heat, dead
calms and unusually high tides fore
warned the inhabitants. The earthquake
center appears to be in the sea at a point
thirty miles south of Zante. The earth
quake is supposed to be of volcanic origin.
The cables and telegraph wires are
broken, and no news had been received
from the interior. The cathedral at
Pyrgo was destroyed.
SHOCKS IN EGYPT.
Alexandria, August 2S.—Violent
shocks of earthquake have been experi
enced here and in other parts of Egypt,
causing terror among the natives, but so
far as known, doing no serious dam
age.
EXCITEMENT IN AUGUSTA.
Augusta, Ga., August 28. —Augusta
can find time to talk of nothing else to
day but the earthquake which occurred
this morning about 4 o’clock. There
were two distinct, but slight, shocks fol
lowing in quick succession. It seems
that the shocks were most perceptibly
felt alcng the river front. The patrolmen
vouch that the eaith trembled, trees rat
tled their leaves, bells tolled, houses
swayed, and a low rumbling sound as if
ceming from the bowels of the earth ac
companied the shocks. Frightened cit
izens who heard and felt the jars leaped
from their beds to ascertain the cause, and
scores of night robed individuals could be
seen flitting to and fro trying to solve
the phenomenon and explain away the
disturber of their morning dreams. Pic
tures were shaken from the walls in some
residences, and in one house a valuable
French mirror which had been tempor
arily placed in a partierre, was thrown
from a halt upright position to the floor
and smashed to atoms. In Diamond Row
a young womaa became so badly fright
ened that she fainted and is now seri
ously ill. In one instance, an infant was
jostled from its couch and thrownjupon the
floor, receiving small small scratches and
bruises. The shock did no damage, but
is the sensation.
SOUTH CAROLINA SHOOK UP.
Charleston, S. C./August 28.—An
other shock of earthquake was felt here
this morning at 4:48. It extended as far
north as Summerville,2smiles from here.
A .TAR IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Wilmington, N. C., August 58. —A
slight shock of earthquake was felt here
this morning about five o’clock.
THE TREMBLE IN ITALY.
Rome, August 28.—Among the towns in
Italy where the earthquake was felt are
Syracuse, Reggio Calabria, Potenza, Puz
zuoli, Baria aud Auellino. The people
were panic stricken and took refuge in
fields and churches.
London, August 28.—A dispatch from
Naples says that a second earthquake
ghock has occured there. The population
were crowding streets, and many fami
lies were lleeings from the city. There
have been two eruptions of Vesuvius
and the volcano is still very active.

THE DEPOSED PRINCE,
Authentic Reports Concerning Him Re
ceived in London.
London August 27 —Authentic infor
mation has at last reached here in regard
to the movements of Prince Alexander,
of Bulgaria. He landed at Reni in the
Russian Province of Bessarabaria, on
Wednesday. On leaving the yacht in
which he had been transported to that
point, he made a brief farewell address to
his commander and escorts, in which he
expressed his regret at leaving Bulgaria.
He declared that he would never cease
to take a profound interest in Bulgaria’s
future, and had no deeper desire than
that foi Bulgaria’s happiness and pros
perity. Toward this end lie had ever
labored with his whole heart. His anx
ious w ish in the present juncture w r as
that Bulgaria should choose another
Prince to rule over her who should be
devoted to the welfare of the country.
Prince Alexander was expected to
arrive at Lemberg yesterday afternoon,
where delegates sent from the army and
people to represent to him the situation
in Bulgaria and to invite him back to
assume the reins of government, were
awaiting him. The Bulgarians are prac
tically unanimous in their demand for
Prince Alexander’s return to Rustchuk.
As aresultof an understanding reached
by the idherents of Prince Alexander at
Sofia ;md Tirnova a council of the Re
gency has been formed, consisting of
Messrs Stambouloff, Glaves, Saff and
Notch'vers. Col. Mourkouroff has been
appointed commander-in-chief as long as
the state of siege lasts.
