Edlti rial Mang'r. Entered at Atlanta P. 0. as second-class matter. It cost over forty thousand dollars to try the anarchists. An exchange rises to explain that an earthquake is a “trembling of the earth.’’ There is nothing like being plain when dealing with scientific matters. The seismograph is a very ingenious instrument for the purpose of registering the extent of an earthquake shake up. The only trouble is to find some one to Stand around and watch the register. The State exchanges are noticing the account of an Atlanta undertaker stop ping a funeral because the coffin was not paid for. The Capitol was the only paper in the city that published the interesting and sensational story. The croaker who says business in Atlanta is falling off should be placed in the cen ter of Alabama street, where a dozen or so drays can run over him and pound common sense into his noddle. The driving of the first spike in the Georgia Midland at Columbus Monday was an important event to that city. Over twenty miles are graded, ready for the track, which will be laid rapidly. The road will be of inestimable benefit to Columbus. A young man] in Baltimore named Oli ver O’Donnell, who three years ago in herited a fortune of SBO,OOO and SB,OOO a year, has squandered his inheritance, and a few days ago was arrested in New York for stealing a watch-, and has been sent to an inebriate asylum. It is believed in New York that Lieut. Henn, of the Galatea, who recently chal lenged any American sloop yacht for a race to Bermuda and back, may be in duced to extend his challenge so as to admit schooners. Should this prove to be the case, it is stated that the steamer Dauntless will be matched against the Galatea. The Dauntless is owned by Mr. Caldwell Colt, of Hartford, Conn., son of the late Col. Colt, of firearms fame. Mr. Colt is a member of the New York Yacht Club, and is plucky and very rich. SCIENTISTS ANU KAHTHQt AKEN. The country is being flooded with theo ries concerning the recent earthquake, end scientists are eagerly seeking the columns of the newspaper to ease their over-burdened minds of facts and figures that may mean a great deal, but which have served so far only to mystify the public. Thk Capitol has a soft place in its heart for science ami has seriously con templated attaching a scientific bureau to its editorial department. Science is a great thing, no doubt, and is never truly appreciated until something as gigantic as a cyclone or an earthquake comes along. We feel a deeply engrafted sympathy for scientists because, in their endeavor to satisfy the people with a lot of theories, they forget themselves, and to day one cannot be found who will own up that he is satiated in this respect. Theories are cheap and no one has ever yet made a scoop and caused a corner on the article. J ust as soon as the earth had ceased to tremble a half dozen scientists were hov ering around Charleston picking up data, and in a few hours the theories were all hatched and sent out on an unsuspecting world. It is not necessary to enter into details. Suflice it to say that enough rea sons were given for the shake to have blown up a dozen worlds, and Tub Capi trfTasugflest that it would be a good idea promulgators to hold over a few tiYiTil the next Issue. Earthquakes are mysterious, and the scientist knows as much of the cause of these disturbances as the illiterate Hot tentot*. Tlte theory of the ignorant negro . who says artesian wells caused it all is worth as much as his. Let’s do away with scientific theories and acknowledge “there are more tilings * in neavefi and earth than are dreamed of incur philosophyheed the pleadings of our consciences and own that a God. infiuiu* in power, moves earth aud heaven st his wili, su'd we. phot children of igno rance, must acknowledge his divinity by faith, nor seek for explanations of his om nipotence. _______ The Franklin Register says ; “Some of the so-called scholars who attempt to ex plain the cause of the earthquake in the - the neinpfpersjfleaerde brats medals and mud monuments.” In another place of the same pap>ew is a explana tory article ori their iongin, cause, etc. Brother Dortch can have a mud imnrrgnent if he wishes it. Atlanta contractors have a reputation •11 over '4h« State and are oiled to do work in our sister cities. The Americus S;c>tff»iay ionehr yestemay Wlhegoatract uildfc- oluJ deyv «u|rth4se • THB EYENTNG CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA- * THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,88 C, Mr. A. McGilvray, of Atlanta, for $29,- 500. The building will be handsome and substantial, an ornament to the city and a credit to the county. The estimate placed on the building by the architects was $30,000. Mr. Bruce, the architects, was present at the meeting of the com missioners.” The Macon Telegraph devotes a whole column to ridiculing the earthquake re ports in the Constitution. The truth is that the Constitution had the fullest and most complete reports of any paper in the United States. The only real evil about the Constitution, from the Telegraph’s standpoint, is its publication in Atlanta. It is useless to conceal thiefact that pro hibition has been dragged into the Sena torial election. The prohibitionists have always disclaimed any intention to carry local option into politics, but the antis have forced the issue and the proliis have accepted it. The latest news from El Paso is that poor Cutting is destitute and in bad health. His half interest in his Mexican paper was absorbed to pay his expenses during imprisonment, and he will now live with his relatives in Michigan until his health is better. A correspondent yesterday wanted to know if The Capitol had given up advo cating the building of a market house. We have not, but what’s the use of harp ing away on such a project when the city fathers say emphatically we can’t have it? CAPITOL CRAYONS. Chakleston must and will be a great city again. A little money and a little time will make her ouce more the “beautiful city by the sea.” City Clekk Goldsmith is the right man in the right place and as an efficient official and courteous gentleman he has no superior in the Slate of Georgia. People wait for summer when the winter is near; and when summer comes wait for winter. Thus waiting and longing for what they have not, death at last ends the weary expectation. Pips for artesian water is being laid on Crew street as far as Rawson. The people in this neighborhood are, of course, duly thankful for the thoughtfulness and consideration of the city fathers. In a short while artesian hydrants will be located in every portion of the city. That the little children are not well pleased witq the return of school days seems to astonish a number of grown-up people. The feelings of our little ones can be easily appreciated if we only put ourselves in their places. Did we hanker after school books, and rejoice when va cation ended? Not much. Those having business in the Governor’s of fice are loud in their praise of Secretary How ard E.W.Palmer. His polite attention to visitora and other persons whose business calls them to the ekecutive chambers has won for him the re spect and esteem of everyone. He has proven a moat efficient official ,and it would be hard to find a gentleman more fitted to occupy the re sponsible position. A lady remarked yesterday at a social gath ering: “The old custom of serving wine at din ners and evening entertainments has slmost en tirely disappeared.” The lady is right, and the reform is due to the fact that wives and mothers discovered that the social glass was as ruinous to young men when offered by fair hands, be neath gilded chandeliers, as wheu served in grog shops and dens of iniquity. Tut tiagmen at the railroad crossings do not have as easy a time as one might imagine. One remarked yesterday that scarcely an hour in the day passes but what some person, generally a woman or child, comes near being crushed under the wheels of a passing train. To stand in one place all day and furnish other people with heads every time they lose them must be troublesome and very tiresome. One of the best officials that Fulton county has ever had is Ordinary Calhoun. No com plaint ot any kind has ever been made against the Ordinary’s office since Judge W. L. Cal houn has been in charge. Besides, Judge Cal houn is a polite, courteous gentleman, always in a pleasant humor, always obliging and always glad to serve you. It is a pleasure to have business dealings with such men, and such of ficials are indeed a blessing to any people. Two pictures: First a Peachtree street man sion, soft music, blended with the rustle of silk, the hum of happy voices, a banquet spread and a feast of plenty. Second, a hut, but a stone’s throw from the mansion, groans from dying lips, cries of despair, starvation and death. Ah! spoiled children of fashion, some day you will cross the river, “ Where the glare and the glitter and tinsel of time Doth fade in the light of that region sublime.” And then the glare of your gilded chandeliers will not shut out from your sight the squalid hut; the music’s strains and the rustling silks will not drown the dying groans; your soul will not fesst until the starring are forgotten. What will you say unto the Lord God of Hosts? CAPITOL SALMAGUNDI. Auxasnsa R. Lawton is now mentioned tor the Rua sian inhdon.

MORNING PAPER CITY NEWS CONDENSED. The city council in a secret session Tuesday night voted $50,000 to the school of Technology. The board to decide the location of these schools will meet October 1. Miss Julia Calloway, aged fourteen, has mys teriously disappeared. She left home Monday to enter the Marietta street school, and has not einoe been seen. Her parents live on Baker street, and came to Atlanta about six months ago. It is believed she was kidnapped. The “Conservatives” held a large and enthu siastic meeting at the Opera House last night, the speakers were Hoke Smith, Esq., and Colonel Reuben Arnold. Arguments were made against prohibition and against the Hon. Frank Rice as running for the senate on the prohibition ticket. The Democratic executive committee of Ful ton county convened in called session yesterday afternoon in the city courtroom. Twenty-seven members were present. A motion was made to reconsider the action of the committee at the last session, when a resolution was adopted al lowing “only registered voters” to vote at the primary to-day. The vote stood thirteen to thirteen, and the chairman, Mr. Charles Collier, voted in the affirmative. A resolution was then adopted allowing all Democrats to vote.

Underhill, of Camden county, disappeared and Nix soon after absconded. It is believed that Nix murdered Underhill. H. T. Nash, a car coupler on the Central road, was crushed to death last night. About 11 o’clock he was attempting to couole two cars when his foot caught in a frog, and before be could extricate it the wheels of one of the cars had passed over an arm and leg. He was car ried to Drs. Westmoreland A Howell’s office and there told that he must die. His wife and son were Bent for and Rev. J. W. Lee sum moned. The scene was a most heartrending one. Just before breathing his last he asked his wife and son to kiss him, which they did. Then turning to the minister he requested a prayer for his soul. The deceased was a sober and industrious man, and bad the respect and confidence of all who knew him. Call To see us at our new building. Largest store and stock in the State.

The Swift Specific Co.—Gentlemen: During the year 1576 I was attacked with articular rheumatism—the effect of expos ure to dampness and night air. I ex hausted all the remedies known to our profession, including iodide of potash in various combinations, wine of colchicum, fluid extract of poke root, and various other preparations, including a patent potash preparation. I was also treated for several vears bv a number of our best physicians," but obtained no permanent relief. For nearly a year I was confined almost continuously to my bed, and could not attend to business of any kind. Being a practicing physician I was somewhat prejudiced against patent medicines, but coming in contact with traveling salesmen almost everv day, who with one accord recommended the S. 8. S. to me, I finally concluded to try it. I commenced im proving while using the first bottle, and when I had finished half a dozen bottles I was so much improved that I was able to walk about and attend to my business once more. I consider your Swift Specific the best tonic and alterative made, and I do not hesitate to prescribe it in all cases requiring a reliable blood purifier. Very trulv vours, H. C.tpMoxns, M. D.

This morning at 10 o’clock the coroner em panelled a jury and began to investigate the cause of the death of H. T. Nash, who was killed last night at ten minutes past eleven o’clock in the Central railroad yard. Mr. Teems, a car coupler, in the W. A A. yard, Mr. Burnett, the Central railroad yard conduct or, and Mr. Johns, the engineer, were the wit nesses in the case. They showed that the dead man met his death by unavoidable accident, as his foot hung in the switch and he could not get it loosed soon enough to get away. He was run over by only one wheel and it ran across his left foot straight up his leg, mashing the whole bone and flesh as it went. When help came to his relief the car wheel was on his leg, and the men had to prize it off. They also had to prize the rails apart to get his foot loose. Nash was a sober man and a good, kind hus band, and the fact that be leaves a wife and several children makes the case a more lament able one. The jury rendered a verdict that decaned came to his death by unavoidable accident on the Central Railroad. Nash was a brother to Bud Nash, who was knocked in the head and killed with a bottle by his brother-in-law, Kit Weeks, sometime ago. W. H.

A RAZOR AND A KNIFE. Two Barbera Fall Out and Have a Scrimmage. Yesterday afternoon W. P. Norris and Dun can King, two colored barbers, who have been talking customers to death, at the corner of Alabama and Pryor streets, under Dodd’s whole sale grocery house had a row. King, who is one of the partners, got mad and picked np all his razors and straps to leave the building. On his way out he stopped to get a settlement from the cash boy. Norris, who is foreman, objected to King drawing money while the other partner was absent. His objection was overruled by King, and a quarrel insued. King dared Norris out on the streets and Norris accepted the challenge, and drew a white haodle knife. King whipped out a black-handle razor, and the two would have proceeded at once to do the carving act, but a police officer stepped up, collared the pair and escorted them to the station-house. The Recorder tried the cases this morning, and entered a fine of $10.75 against each of the parties. • A Suspect Arrested.

A Touching Scene. A very touching scene occurred at the close of the prayer meeting at the First Baptist church last night. While the congregation were engaged in singing the last hymn, a young Doctor of our city walked np the aisle and spoke a few words to Dr. Hawthorne, after which he sank on his knees, near the rostrum, and seem ed entirely overcome. He came asking prayer for his young wife, who lay not far distant upon a bed of suffering. Her life was despaired of, he had tried all earthly means to no avail, and in his extremity he came almost heart broken to lay his sorrows before the throne of grace. The beautiful, touching prayer, delivered by the pastor, found an echo in every heart and many eyes, at the conclusion of the services, were wet with tears, as the members spoke to the grief-stricken husband words of consolation and hope. Rally at the polls at the Court House. Open till 6 o'clock. All of Frank Rice’s friends should be there. New Firm and New Stack Through* out. J. C.
