The Earthquake at the Asylum.
STARTLING INTERRUPTION OF A LIT
ERARY AND MUSICAL ENTER
TAINMENT.
The regular Tuesday evening enter
tainment of the “Asylum Dilettanti”
was in progress, in the Amusement
Hall in the Female Convalescent
building. Strangely enough Capt. A.
was singing, “Oh Restless Sea, when
a sound like distant thunder was
heard and at the same instant the
building "was felt to quiver about as
much as would be felt upon a heavy
peal of thunder. Several at once
asked “what is that?” to which some
replied, “Tis a thunder storm,” others
“a cyclone.” The writer went to a
window and looked out but seeing a
bright starlit sky and the trees not

Help for Charleston.
Amid the terror, sorrow and misery
which have attended the various
phases of the great earthquake, it is
most gratifying to observe the prompt
liberality with which the people all
over our great country have come to
the relief of the suffering inhabitants
of Charleston. If we mistake not, the
news, so long delayed, had scarcely
flashed over the telegraphic wires
when the Mavor of Charleston receiv
ed a dispatch from the Mayor of Bos
ton, "Draw on me for $5,000.” Other
telegrams of similar import from far
distant cities quickly followed. The
silversmiths of Chicago in a very
short time reported six or seven hun
dred dollars raised among themselves
for the help of Charleston and a like
spirit of generous sympathy was man
ifested throughout the country. The
cities and towns of Georgia have not
been slow' or niggardly in meeting the
requirements of the situation. But
what immediately concerns us is,
what is Milledgeville going to do? We
know that we are somewhat slow in
action as a community, but are we to
lag behind or do nothing in this mat
ter? Can we leave to our children the
legacy of such a blot upon our histo
ry? We say emphatically no. Some
action must and will be taken and it
should not be delayed. We w'ere
pleased to hear Mr. Frank Mapp read
yesterday morning a telegram from
Mr. P. J. Cline in Macon in which he
said, “Start a subscription list for
Charleston sufferers.” Since writing
the above Mr. Mapp and Mr. Arthur
Carr have been going around among
our citizens to receive their contribu
tions.
Frank Humphries Professes Religion.
Rev. Mr. Hammond of the Method
ist church of this city, has been ful
filling the duty of “visiting those in
prison"’ by calling to see Frank Hum
phries at the jail and holding such
conversations with him as befitted his
desperate condition. We learn that
Humphries had become fully impres
sed with the awful realities which
stared him in the face and has been
not only a deligent reader of the Bible
but an earnest seeker for the pardon
of his sins. It seems that he has pro
fessed to feel that his sins have been
forgiven and on Sunday last, at * his
request, Mr. Hammond baptised him
and received him into the Methodist
church. This w ill surprise many peo
ple doubtless and perhaps be condem
ned by some, but in such matters it
hardly becomes sinful men to limit the
mercy of Almighty God. “Though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be
come as white as snow'.”
A serious and very nearly fatal acci
dent occurred on Monday, Aug. 80th.
Mr. Warren Edwards and a drummer
—Mr. Hirshburg—drove through by
private conveyance to Eatonton.
When returning that evening about
7 o’clock, they attempted to cross
Buck creek, which had been swollen
by the rain that morning. The horse
got over his depth, and the w'ater be
ing very swift washed them down un
der the water gate, submerging the
whole turnout. They caught hold of
tne water gate and scrambled to land
as best they could in the dark, w’hile
the horse and buggy were w’ashed
nearly down to the mouth w’here the
creek empties into the river. In aboirk
an hour's time they got to Mr.
Brown's* when Mr. Wingfield got a
negro, and they went back and suc
ceeded in getting the horse out, leav
ing the buggy. They spent the night
at Mr. Ed. Brown's: returning next
morning after the buggy, having to
dig it out, it being very nearly cover
ed with sand. Neither of the gentle
men could swim.
An Unpleasant Difficulty.
On Saturday last, a difficulty occur
red on the street between Mr. Win.
Massey of the firm of Massey & Ennis,
and Mr. J. J. Mehaffy, a drummer
for a North Carolina firm of tobacco
manufacturers. It appeared from the
evidence in a trial before the Mayor
that a dispute occurred between the
parties at Massey A Ennis’ store con
cerning a lot of tobacco which had
been ordered by M. A E., and after
wards countermanded. Mr. Massey,
during the altercation, it appeared,
ordered the other party out of the
store and applied an abusive epithet
to him. Subsequently, the parties
met on the street and Mehaffy de
manded that Massey should retract the
offensive language which was refused.
Mehaffy then took hold of Massey,
and in the scuffle threw him down
and was on him, when persons near
by endeavored to part them and while
pulling Mehaffy off his adversary, the
latter gave him a pretty severe cut
with a knife on the side of his ne<dc,
barelv missing the jugular vein. We
learn’that Drs. Whitaker and Calla-
wav dressed the wound.
The Mayor discharged the parties
without a fine; Massey, we suppose,
because he did not commence the
fight, and Mehaffy, probably because
he had received provocation and be
sides had received a w'ound that
would be quite troublesome and per
haps dangerous. —
waiving in the wind* saw at once it
was no storm, but by that time the
whole building began to rock till he
felt as if he were on the deck of a ves
sel at sea, the windows rattled, a
crepitant sound as of bricks grating
together w as heard, the gas burners
were seen to swing to and fro, and
in less than half the time It takes to
w'rite it, lie realized and cried out in
alarm, “Great Heavens it is an earth
quake, let us get out of here or w r e
will be killed,” and started for the
door, but ere he reached it the ceiling
cracked, some of the plastering fell
and striking him on the head and
shoulders and blinding him with the
dust, he naturally supposed in that
supreme moment of terror that the
whole building was tumbling in upon
him. The fifty or sixty persons, male
and female who were in the large hall,
most of them convalescent patients,
became at once wild with a frenzied
panic, and the cries and shrieks and
groans, tlieir blanched faces many of
them looking into each others in panic
stricken terror without uttering a
w'ord and their wild and frantic rush
for the doors—that were locked, made
a scene of terror hard to be imagined,
much less described and the memory
of which will never be effaced. Some
fainted and some of the patients who
were in a state of convalescence when
the shock occurred had their minds so
excited that they were thrown entire
ly off their balance and had to be
taken in charge by their attendants
and taken to their”rooms as soon as
any one could be sufficiently self-pos
sessed to know what to do. The shock
lasted as near as can be guessed un
der such exciting circumstances about
fifteen or twenty seconds, and so
strong was the swaying of the floor
that the w'riter experienced for the
time that sensation of sea sickness
that he has felt on board ship on the
Atlantic Ocean. It is difficult to im
agine and utterly impossible to give
an appreciable description of the sen
sations as the floor was heaving un
der foot like the deck of a vessel and
the surrounding walls and gas fix-
turds swaying to and fro, the plaster
ing cracking over head and falling,
that crepitant sound of bricks grat
ing together, the rattle of window
sash all combined with that terrible
ominous roar heard above the other
din with the cries, shrieks and groans
of frightened women and the pale
terror stricken faces of strong brave
men. For one man to feel all this and
then see the panic in others and feel
the pelting of the broken plaster up
on his head and shoulders and the
dust in his eyes all combined to con
stitute one supreme moment of apall-
ing dread and fill the mind and heart
with a dazed, bewildering fear that
death was already upon him and that
each breath was his last ere he were a
crushed and mangled mass buried be
neath the debris of brick and mortar.
While many were so dazed that they
were completely paralyzed into an in
ability to even move. Others made a
rush for the doers, which were locked
and could only be opened by the At
tendants, and so great was the rush
to the door that they found it almost
impossible to unlock them. After
what in that moment of extreme peril
seemed hours, the door was at last
unlocked and many fled to the open
air. As soon as that shock was over
the writer, who had got out, returned
to the hall when the doctors and at
tendants were doing what they could
to quiet the excited panic stricken
crowd. Dr. Whitaker in the most
trying moment acted with the most
admirable self-denial and cool hero
ism. Appearantly ignoring his own
danger, he stood Ixis ground and rais
ing his hand in an assuring manner
called aloud for all to keep still and
remain quiet, that they were safer
there than elsewhere—all seeming to
have lost sight of the fact that the
portion of the building they were
then in was only one story high while
that through which they would neces
sarily have had to escape, was three
stories high and much more liable to
fall. Dr. O'Daniel too was deserving
of much credit for his presence of
mind in calming the fears of and
quieting the frightened patients. He
prevailed upon two visiting young la
dies to sit down at the piano and play
a duett to distract the attention from
more exciting scenes. A little later
Dr. Powell, with his usual impertur
bable dignity and kind geniality came
in and it was astonishing to see the
instantaneous effect his presence pro
duced, for all, (although, perhaps
nothing was said to that effect) seem
ed to express by their looks and ac
tions, “Ah we are safe now', Dr.
Powell is here.” It must be very
gratifying to him to feel that all the
patients have such love and respect
for and such confidence in him.
After the excitement had somewhat
subsided it was discovered that the
building was not seriously injured.
There was a crack in the ceiling where
it joined the main building, but only
enough to throw down some plaster
ing and a similar crack at the oppo
site end.
As scientists seem to think this dis
turbance had its origin somewhere in
the bed of the ocean, |it is a singular
coincidence that Capt. A. happened
very moment to be singing
“Oh Restless Sea ”
But to tell of all incidents and mat
ter of exciting interest connected
with that .eventful Tuesday evening,
never to be forgotten, would require
more space than is now available, so
we must close hoping never again to
experience another such.
Milledgeville, Ga., Sept. 2, 1886.
The Earthquake.
An extra, of the Athens Banner
Watchman, of Wednesday contained
about 4$ columns in reference to the
earthquake in that city, and allusions
to various earthquakes which occur
red Tuesday night. The first shock
occurred about 9 o’clock on that night,
and lasted about three minutes, and
four others were felt within an hour
after the first. Another took place at
2 o'clock in the morning and another,
the seventh, at daylight. The first
shock was the severest and of course
the most frightful. Some people
were screaming and some praying.
The excitement was intense, espec
ially among the colored people, many
of whom believed that the day of
Judgment was at hand. A dancing
party among them was turned into a
prayer meeting, and, doubtless, many
of tnem will think that their prayers
were answered as nothing very seri
ous occurred. Attention was excited
by a rumbling noise followed bv a
perceptible heaving of the earth. The
sound at first w'as like the distant
rumbling of a train of cars, windows
rattled, bricks fell from the chimneys
of some houses, crockery rattled on
shelves and some fell and was broken.
It is stated that one or two chimneys
were wrecked. All the harm done
was caused by the first shock the oth
er six being light, causing no serious
or perceptible injury. The seventh
and last light shock occurred about 7
o'clock Wednesday morning. As it
was the city escaped serious injury for
if the first shock had been a little more
violent some houses would probably
have,been wrecked, attended with loss
of life. The first one shook many
houses but none were seriously injur
ed. The Banner-Watchman referred
to many earthquakes which occurred
in the long ago and through the fol
lowing centuries. We desire onlv to
refer to the one of Tuesday night,
which was the most serious one that
ever occurred in our section. There ,
is much reason to be grateful that the 1
consequences were not more serious.
The papers will be full of accounts
the earthquake in the sections in
which they are published. A narrow
escape from the severity of this earth
quake will excite fears of more serious
consequences in the future.
The earthquake seems to have oc
curred in almost every direction and
its effects in most places, seemed to
have been similar to those described
above, taken from the Athens Ban
ner. But it was much worse in Au
gusta and Summerville near that city.
Nearly all the inhabitants forsook
their houses and remained in the
streets all night. The first shock oc
curred about the same time or a few
minutes after 9 o’clock. In Augusta
there were 12 or 13 shocks. All the
houses were abandoned for the night.
Bricks tumbled from the chimneys.
The plastering in some houses fell to
the floors, crockery was thrown down
and broken, a very large quantity
was destroyed in the store of Mr. E.
D. Smythe. The damage was much
greater on the Hill and at the Arsenal.
Charleston suffered much worse than
any other place. The principal busi
ness portion of the city was destroyed, j
The City Hall, Hiberman Hall and
many other well known public build
ings including St. Michael's church,
irere irreparably damaged. To add to
the horror of the scene manv fires oc-

of intellect, a sound, conservative

with the law', a courage that shrinks
from no duty and a manhood and in
tegrity that reflect honor upon hu
man nature. If these be requisites
for the office, Capt. Crawford posses

A FEDERAL TANGLE SPRUNG IN SA
VANNAH OVER THE POSTOFFICK.
Savannah, Ga., September 1.—
[Special.]—Captain George W. Lamar
who has been appointed postmaster
of this city, called on Postmaster
Wilson, who is now in office, and de
manded the office.
Mr. Lamar said: “I have orders
here to receive the papers and prop
erty belonging to the office, for which
I give you these receipts. I demand
the office, and I shall act as post
master of Savannah.”
“I shall stay in until put out,” re
sponded Colonel Wilson, and he add
ed: “I refuse to accept the receipts.”
“I have been duly appointed post
master,” said Captain Lamar, “and I
consider you by courtesy only a visi
tor in this office.”
“I do not yield my rights. You
must put me out,” was the reply.
“You mugt use force stronger than
I am.”
Colonel Wilson still holds the office.
He says he has done nothing wrong
and the president has no authority to
remove him. Both parties have law
yers, and further developments are
expected later.
The above mentioned contest w'as
subsequently ended by an official of
the Post-office department, that was
Atlanta, w’ho proceeded to Savan-
nah and by the use of gentle force put
Col. Wilson out and installed Capt.
Lamar, the newlv appointed post
master, in the office. He doubtless
acted under orders from Washington

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in th*e back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles

ed. Some 60 or 70 persons were killed
and wounded. The majority of them
were colored. The city is a mass of
ruins, and besides the loss of life, that
of dwellings, Stores, goods &c., it is
estimated, will run up into several
millions of dollars. We can only make
this brief statement from many ac
counts which we find in the papers. The
floating report about the sinking of
Sullivan's island and the attendant
loss of many lives turns out to be un
true. These earthquakes are proba
bly the outskirts of the terrible con-
vulsious recently reported in Greece
and at Mount Vesuvius and along the
Mediteranean sea on the continent of
Europe. As our section has escaped
such disasters for centuries in the past
it may escape them for centuries to
come. The science of seismology has
not been studied in our sections, !
as we have no volcanoes, but these seri- j
ous matters will cause it to be looked
into with more interest in the future; :
but study it as we may there are no ;
means to prevent them when nature, i
in its terrible and wondrous works i
enrages the hidden elements which j
throws into terrific convulsion both I
sea and land for thousands of miles.
Nature has its moods as well as men.
It is seen in the grassy lawn, the dewy
eve and the sun’s bright rays, and
then again, it speaks in the night-
wind’s howl the carnival of the tem
pest, the thunders of the volcano and
the earthquake’s ferocious groans and
power.

There is a call of the Free Trade

formation of a New Party. They in
sist that the present Democratic par
ty has been trusted and failed to re
duce the Tariff. The only hope is in
the present Democratic party. It
may take a long time to get a new
party as strong as the present Dem
ocratic party. There is a better pros
pect, now, for success then heretofore.
The great west is by degrees wheel
ing into line. Let the party hold on
and struggle on and maite another
great effort in 1888, If the democracy
fail then it will be time enough to
talk about a new party. We know
that many democrats believe the par
ty is being injured by the course of
some Democrats who do not stand up
to its principles. We think a change
for the better is near at hand.
