A “CHESTSCT” QUAKE,
A Tula of Ull Ollinl City.
Macon, Sept. 1—Special—A
couple of prominent young men of
this city tell of a very amusing
pnctioal joke they played on Sat
urday night. They reside at a large
and well-known boarding-house In
this place, and among the guests
are a number of quite charming
young ladies. As elsewhere, the
absorbing tkemeof conversation has
been “earthquake,” and the two
young men in question havo been
the subjects of indignant criticism
because they had not experienced
_ the various shocks that pervaded
the more susceptible forms of the
young ladies; and, consequently
had their doubts about, the exist
ence of the same further than in
imagination.
Each succeeding morning the
conversation of the breakfast table
was embellished by the details of
another “night of horror;’’ until the
young men grew “weary,” and re
solved to relieve the exhausted im
agination of the guests by treating
them to areal, genuine,earthquake.
They arranged their plans accord*
Ihgly, which they carried out as
follows;
By half-past eleven the liouee
was wrapt in slumber. One of the'
young men roomed up stairs, and
in sock feet came softly down to
report the repose that reigned su
preme above. In a like neglige
costume, bis accomplice responded.
They had provided themselves with
sulphur matches, so that no noise
would be made, and lighting a can
die, they armed themselves with a
.couple ot eight-pound dumb bells
and repaired to the parlor, ‘the
place agreed upon for the enaction
of tbe tragedy. One placed him
self at one end of the room, where
he oouid shake tbe folding-doors
oommunicating with tbe sitting-
room; while tbe other volunteered
to “raise the natives” by his per
formance on the front windows.
Each provided himself with vari
ous pieces ot bric a brao, which he
was to throw at opportune mo
ments, and then all was ready.
The rumbling sound supposed ter
precede the shock was produced by
rolling the heavy dumb bells rapid
ly across the carpeted floor, aud a
more hideous sound, earthquake
was never guilty of uttering. Then
arose a violent agitation of the
folding-doors,' which shook the
whole house, and a deafening clam
or of the front windows, which
communicated the sonnd to tbo up
per windows; while the sound ot
falling bric-a-brae rung the death
knell of domestic bliss in the heart
of the mistress of the house.
An intermission of several sec
onds was then allowed, and subdued
voices were heard throughout tbe
house. Again tbe awe-inspiring
rumbling was re-commenced, fol
lowed by the most heart-rending
of shocks, lasting several seconds.
This was “endurance vile,” and
hasty leaps were heard o'er head.
The villianous youths bad only
time to hastily close tbe parlor
door and place themselves in posi
tion to look through the crack, be
fore they were paraljzed by the ap
pearance of tbo image of Venus at
tbe bead of the -stairway. Sbe
stood .irresolute for a moment, her
eyes sparkling with startled bril
liancy, her luxuriant mass of hair
loose and flowing over exquisitely
moulded shoulders; while a form oi
indescribable grace openly mocked
the flimsy idiosyncrasy of laee and
linen that jealously sought to btdo
its beauty. At she stood in the
mellow gas light shed by the ball
chandelier, it seemed to the startled
gaze of the young men that hei
form Was enveloped in a phospho
rescent glow- With a subdued ery,
she nimbly sprang down Blairs,
while'tbe bashful youths actually
held their breaths in utter dismay.
Figures of Juno, Minerva, and
forms that even Mythology doth
not attempt to describe, quickly
made their appearcnce, until the
gentlemen found themselves en
raptured as by an enchanted dream,
and stood as dumb sud motionless
as stone statues. Trembling finger*
draw tbe fastenings of the door,
and tbe angeife visitors stood in
readiness to take the sudden leap
for liberty at the first re-appearance
of tbe quake. The qnake was too
gaiiaut to re-appear; and the chill
night air brought a bewitching
shiver over the airay of pretty and
dainty shoulders. Adjournment
was declared In silvery, tones, and
the nymphs tremblingly retraced
their r.eps to their fatal bedcham
bers.
Long after the last snowy foot
bad disappeared around the head
of the stairway, the youths Btood
transfixed and motionless. Con
sciousness at last returned to one
of them, and he sought to awaken
reality upon his companion. Iu
vain be pinched and softly plead,
until in desperation be dropped one
end of a dura-bell on tbe unoffend
ing toe of bis fellow conspirator,
which brought out a bowl of paiu.
He quickly subdued tbe cry by
stuffing his handkerchief down the
throat of his enraged companion,
and after some expostulations and
sundry oaths, tbe meeting adjourn
ed sine die.
Tbe explanatiousand experiences
expressed at Sunday morning’s
breakfast would have convinced the
most intolierant unbeliever; and
the boys found it expedient not to
explode the deception that had
been practiced upon ihe household,
as personal safety would havo been
utils ebb. So, this is the first lime
that tbe mystery ot Saturday
night’s earthquake has been, ex
plained.
A Smart Convict,
When tbe match was applied to
the fuse of a blast at tbe tunnel on
the Georgia Midland a day or two
ago the bands at work were all no
tified to get out of tbe way, and
they retreated to a respectiul dis
tance. Alter the blast went off
one of the convicts, a white man,
failed to show up. It was evident
that he had taken advantage of the
opportunity to make his escape.
A blood hound was put upon bis
track, but when tbe dog was again
seeu be was found manacled to a
tree with the convicts shackles.
Two new dogs were put on the
trail, but when they overtook tbe
fugitive be made overturesjto them,
won their friendship and traded
them to a negro woman for his din
ner. At last accounts tbe convict
was still at large with the obances
in favor of making good bis escape.
We were unable to learn bis name.

from a short trip to Hew York and
Philadelphia, where he went as one
of the trustees of the bonds of the
Savannah, Dublin and Western

THE EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.
A Bmiut V.ml'1 IipntHM That
sought Safety la the Potomae.
Washington Star.
When the UnitedStates revenue
steamer Ewing, First Lieut. Braun
commanding, made fast to Chase’s
wharf in Baltimore yesterday after
noon, a reporter told the officers of
the earthquake iu reply to a query
for news. Pilot Madigan looked
at the “First Luff” and the “First
Luff” looked at Pitot Madigan
“That’s wbat it was!” said both
officers, and tbe reporter, going
aboard, asked for an explanation.
In substance, be learned that the
Ewing left Fortress Monroe on
Tuesday afternoon and all went well
until between 11 and 12 o’clock
that night. At that time a strong
gale came out from the north,
citcbing the Ewing in the vicinity
of Smith’s Point. All at once tb»-re
was a strange and weird appearance
about everything. Nothing looked
natural. In tbe heavens the stars
were shooting in all directions, and
the breaking seas were charged
with phosphorus to such a pronoun
ced degree that no one on board
recollected overseeing such a dis
play. The fixed stars seemed to
move, and balls of fire first appear
ed on one bow, then on the other,
which Pilot Madigan thought were
vessels’ lights, and kept an anxious
watch as he progressed. It was
only when they became general
that the pilot' found that they
were due to atmospherical distur
bance. A haze peculiar to earth
quake countries was visiblo along
the horizon, and it excited the in
terest of Lieut. Brann, who bail
bad a thrilliDg experience under
the same circumstances at Arica,
Peru, when, as au officer of the
United States steamer Watcrec, be
was carried ashore on that vessel
by tbe great tidal wave and earth
quake of 1863. During the strange
proceedings the Ewing was brought
to an anchor in. Cornfield harbor,
Inside tbe Potomac.
THE EARTHQUAKE.

Earth’* Crust Hitting and Falling In Bil

* cumfereuce—Hcart-rentling Beenes In
Hapless Charleston.
Of tbe remarkable series of great events
that have been happening the world over from
1881 to tbo present, earthquakes form a lead
ing feature. And of these tbe one to be long
est remembered in North America, will be
that which laid Charleston, 13. C., in ruins.
It makes one feel, somehow, as if there was
safety nowhere If any place, next to the
great western plains, was to be considered
safe from earthquakes, it was just that part
of tbe country which has been shaken up. If
the theory of the cause of these ground dis
turbances is correct they ought to be manifest
mostly along mountain ranges, as indeed
they are.
Scientific authority declares they are caused
by the cooling and settling of the earth’s
mass. It was n gigantic, red hot bail to be
gin. It commenced to cool upon tho outside.
At length a thin crust was formed as it cooled,
naturally it shrank. That made the -crust
crack open and settle, in order to readjust it-
self to fit the molten kernel within. Tho pro-
seas still goes on, and will till the* earth is
cooled through. Hence earthquakes. Moun
tain ranges are whero tho great cracks have
broken the surface and thrown tho edges of
the split up and sideways. When tho eatfh
Is cooled through'it will be dead, aud there
will ho no earthquakes.

To get the situation properly it will be well
to consider a moment the location of Charles
ton. It Is in tbe angle fanned by tho junc
tion of tho Cooper and Ashley rivers. They
unite here and flow to the ocean seven miles
distant. Sea water and fresh water mingle
all in one, and this estuary forms tbo noble
Charleston’harbor, landlocked on three sides.
The earthquako camo from the sea on
the southeast and throbbed across tho beau
tiful, hapless city toward tho northwest.
What made tho visitation still more distress
ing wan the fact that only six days before it a
terrific cyclone had swept over Charleston,
doing vast damage. H’heu the dull, u\
roar of tho earth tremor was hom’d on that
lust night of August many thought that it was
another cyclone.
Mr. Dawson, editor of The Nows and Cou
rier, was in his ofllco at tbe time. How a man
feels in an earthquake is thrillingly told by
him. Ho-wrote:
’’From tho first to the last it was a continu
ous jar, only adding force at every moment,
and as it approached and reached the climax
of its manifestation it seemed for a few terri
ble seconds that no work of human hands
could iwssibly survive the shock. The floors
were heaving under foot, tho surrounding
walls nud partitions visibly swayed to and
fro, tho crash of falling masses of stone and
brick and mortar was heard overhead, and
without tbe terrible roar filled the ears, and
seemed to fill tho mind and heart, dazing per
ception, bewildering thought, and, for a few
panting breaths, or While you held your
breath in dreadful anticipation of immediate
and cruel death, you felt that life was already
past, and waited for the end as the victim
with his head on tbe block awaits the fall of
the uplifted ax.
Not a man in the office expected to escape
alivo. The shocks began at 0:53 P. M. The
clocks that were stopped by the awful shocks
made the record.
earthquake so terrible. All the foundations
of creation or* broken up.
“It’s a thing you cannot fight,” said one.
That expresses It All damage done by man,
man can resist. Even in a tornado or cy
clone ho can cling to the earth or take refuge
underground. But when earth herself fails
us, what* is there to dof Man cannot even
run away, for he knows not where the ground
will open next. He might run into tbe very
jaws of tho destroyer.
The beet part of Charleston is a mass of
ruins. It was a beautiful city. The churches
suffered grievously,
owing to their hav
ing very tall spires.
Tbe Unitarian
church was a noble
specimen of nrchi.
tecturo. Its tower
was wrecked. Some
of the l>est present
piles of debris and
ruins.
Fifty thousand
‘ ~ persons spent some
UNITARIAN CHURCH, ^ days of
terror in the streets and in vacant lots. In
fants were born in several instances, while
their mothers lay upon blankets on tbe ground.
The earthquako area appears to havo been
the most extensive in modern times. Shocks
were felt from British America to Florida,
and as far west as Missouri. Cable dispatches
bring the news that on thosamo night distinct
shocks were felt at Athens, in Greece. The
gas wells at Pittsburg ceased flowing. The
bowels of the earth were shaken up for more
than a third of tbo planet’s circumference,
and death and destruction were to pay gen
erally.
Tho center of the qunkeon this continent
seems to have been at Summerville, S. C.
This is a fashionable summer resort for aris
tocratic Charlestonians, and is twenty-
two miles from the city. Tho whole
face of the earth seems to be changed
here. Where before were ordinary sand
and clay are now bottomless erodes in
the mud, brackish water and sulphur smells.
It will bo a long time-before it becomes
known just how many persons were killed.
In such calamities
it is found out how
generous hum an
nature is. Aictlms
poured into the
stricken city from
all quarters.
The *tall, slender
spire of St. Philip’s
Episcopal church
stands the highest*
in the city. Iii its
graveyard lies tho
body of John C.
Calhoun. On its sito
tho first church in
Charleston was built, a structure older than
the present one. Its beautiful totver is ruined.
The most frightful sensation of all, however,
must have been experienced by the train load
of excursionists on tboir way from Columbia
to Charleston. To find their train suddenly
waviug up in the air. then bumping down
upon tbo earth, then going up, then down,
and soon for several seconds without any
known cause for it, at the same timo with an
unearthly rear sounding in their cars, is an
experience utterly uriiquo in history. The
front end of a car waved upward, while the
real’ end went downward, and vice Versa.
Tbo engineer put the brakes on as bard as he
could, and still that marvelous train moved
onward. It actually kept the track through
this billowy motion of the earth. When the
rails were examined they were found to be
bent in serpentine waves.
Tbo most celebrated building in Charles
ton, Iiowovor,
la the picturesque
old St. Michael’!
church. It was de
signed as Jong ago
as 1752 by n pupil
of Sir Christopher
Wronn, tho arch
itect of St. Paul’s
in London. In the
now demolished
tower of tho ven
erable church hung
the sweetest chime
of bells .upon the
continent Bo fa
mous is it, so precious to tbe people of
Charleston, that during the late war it was
taken down and sent to England so it
might not be damaged by the Federal can
non known as the “Swamp Angel” The
chime is very old. An incident that is said
really to have happened in connection with
the belfry of St. Michael’s forms tbo founda
tion of a fine and pathetic poem that is fre
quently recited by elocutionists. The hero is
a slave man.
Charleston has been particularly unfortu
nate. War, Are, tidal wave, tornado, and
now an earthquake, have spent their forco
upon the doomed city. Several times the
town has been almost ruiaod. It is enough to
discourage tho inhabitants.

In our safe latitude,, It has done so, and
now we know there are no latitude, safe from

it was in Choi toston. Women were braver
than tho men, it is sahl, courageously gather

in terror. This feminine courage in great
emergencies is often conspicuous.

in Charleston. Thera were nearly, or quite,
a dozen altogether, occurring within the next
thirty-six hour* The (hock, came in waves,
as, indeed, everything else does The first
ones were from ten minutes to Half an hour
apart. Those who were cool enough to observe
the motion of tbe tremors declare that the

THE SZA SERPENT.
There seems to be no longer any doubt of
the extetencoof this merino monster. Fora
century or more similar serpents have been
seen and described, but the stories have been
discredited until this summer, when, through
the persistence of tho monster in exhibiting
itself, it can no longer be considered a myth.
In the last century a missionary to Green
land describes such a monster. * This wee on
July 0,1734. Soon after this tho bishop of
Bergen, a member of the Copenhagen
Academy of'Bclenccs, published a “Natural
History of Norway," in which ho collects con
siderable evidence to prove the existence of
this serpent In 1817 tbo sea aerpent was first
seen opposite Gloucester, Hass., and the Ltn-
noen society of New England, after carefully
investigating the alleged apparition, reported
that it considered the testimony obtained
“sufficient to place tbe existenoe of tbe animal
