Charleston, September 1G.—Thero was an earthquake shock yesterday morning about t o’clock, uiisi vt.in).imird by any great rumbling or detonation, and was only noticed by a few persons. Possiblv a light shock occurred last night, but this is uncer tain,as any vibration caused by passing vehi cles or the polling down of walls, is apt to be regarded as caused by an earthquake. There has not been a shock in some days worth reporting. The relief committee has issued over one thousand forms of application for assist ance in rebuilding or repairing houses. Attention has recently been directed to the character of mortar used, consisting largely of yellow sand, and the city council will probably take action on the subject to jrevent any Buddensieck disasters in the lurry of rebuilding.

ALBANY. A Murderer Respited. irusTA, September 13.—On the 2nd of March tart. la Haralson county, Henry Norris murdered Georg* Elliott. The murder was a very brutal one. Both men were white, and were ditching on a farm Is that county. After wading through the mass of tetfimcmy taken at the trial, all that appears In the uy cf provocation is this: About three yean before, Eliott asked Norris for a chew of tobacco, Norris it to him. but the tobaoco was of such poor guilty that EUlott threw It away, making some digUlug remark about it. Norris was vary poor, aod Elliott's action provoked hlm,but ha seemingly took no offense. At tae time of the killing Norris *u working for sis dollar* a month. He and Elliott on tho day previous, were working side by side, when Elliott again asked for a chew of tobacco. Norris gave’ It to him, and EUlott again threw it away, remarking upon Its poor quality, and aiding some remark about Norris's poverty. From tho evidence Norris made up his mind to klU him, bat there was not a favorable opportunity. On the day following they were working together. El liott bad a shovel, working In advance of Norris, and the latter had a hoe. Suddenly Norria hit El liott a terrible blow on the back of the head with the hoe, feUlng him to the grdand. He then took the ihovel of his victim and best him to death with Karlous Collision Between a Freight and Passenger Train. Albany, September 16.—About 2:25 this morning a very serious collision occurred hear the depot at this place, between the south bound “cannon ball," from Montgom ery to Jacksonville, and a freight train ol tho Brunswick and Western, in which the engine of the former and cab, and two box cars of the latter, were badly wrecked. From all the information had the “cannon ball" was a few minutes lato,aad Yardmaster J. H. Crawlv, of tho Brunswick and Wes tern, was drilling his freight train, pre to leave at 3:15,and ventured on tho mi thinking he could got off in time, but was overtaken. Engineer Wallace Sooville, of tho “cannonball" did not see the freight until too late, as there were no lights on the cab. He reversed his engine, applied his brakes and jumped. His left ankle was very badly crushed. He is under the care of Dr. P. L. Hilmau, who says it is a very serious wound, but hopes to save tho leg. The fireman remained on the en gine, and escaped with a few slight bruises. Tho passengers were shaken up some, but no one was hurt.

Mftrilntvn Court IIou*« an<l Town Hall Cruckr<l by tho Ktrthqunke. Wednesday's Madisonian. Considerable surpriso as well ns conster nation was felt in Madison Monday, when it was ascertained that two of tho most sub stantial brick buildings in the city had been damaged to such an extent by tho xocent earthquake 6hock ns to render them un safe. Investigation showed that there were several cracks on one side of tho court house, one of which being of several inches width, while the others are such as to leavo no doubt that the building is unsafe. It was renovated only two years ago, and regarded os od* of the most secure buildings in the city. Tho cost of the recent repairs has been consid erable, and it is to be hoped that Hie dangerous parts may be so remedied as to permit the continued use of what now is one of the prettiest court houses in this part of the State. The most perceptible damage, howevor, seems to bo that sus tained by the town hall building, which is occupied by the hook and ladder company and W. W. Leake, confection ery, on the first flo6r, and Mr. E. A. Rice’s printing establishment on the second. The walls of this building are said to bulge, and great cracks in the samo caused tho city council to formally stato to tho tenants that the citv would not be held for any damage done them by falling walls, which may oc cur at any time. This causod Mr. and Mrs. Leake to move out yesterday, and wo sup pose Mr. Rice will also seek other quarters. It is thought this building will be regularly condemmed.

The Finding, of the Committee Recom mending Uta Impeachment. Philadelphia, September 13.—The apo dal council committee appointed to inves tigate tile charges against Mayor William B. Smith presented their report to a spe cial meeting of the common council this af ternoon. The findings are: 1. That tbo mayor received and retained license fees which it was notmade his duty by any law to receive, and which shonld havo boon turned over to tho city treasury. 2. That he failod to comply with the law requiring the regnlation of pawnbrokers, thus enabling them to carry on their busi ness withont a license. 3. By failing to exeroise proper supervis ion over the affairs of his oillce, whereby moneys belonging to the city were collected during the years 1831 and 1885 and retained in the alleged poaisgiinn of his chief clerk, who mndo no return to tho city treasnror or to tho city controller of moneys ao received and so retained until forced to do so from fear of discovery. 4. In that ho was negligent in the dis charge of his duties os a sworn public officer whereby it was possible for John L. Linton, tho mayor's private secretary, to alter checks drawn to the ordor of thn city treasurer, that the mayor might deposit them in his private bank account, and that it was possible for the said John L. Linton to receive and retain pnbiio moneys and appropnste the same to hts own nse, which moneys should havo been paid into the city treasu ry, and in that tho said John L. Linton was not required to keep any books of ac count, nor to make any returns of those moneys which he bad been delegated by the mayor to collect. 5. By reason of bis negligence in the su pervision of tbo police department special officers were appointed whose dereliction of duty bad to be admitted, and whose ser vices wero so seldom rendered that they oonld not account before the committee for tho work for which they bad received pay from the citv.
