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 • • iL/v flour of Anna if 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- 1 Milledgeville, Ga., ) Aug. 31st, 1886. > At a meeting of the veterans of the Baldwin Blues who attended the re union of the Fourth Ga.

General Jackson’s Successor.— Washington. September 1.—The pres ident has appointed Judge Manning, of Louisiana, as minister to Mexico to succeed General Jackson, resigned. Judge Maiming, until recently, sat upon*tlie supreme bench of his' state and is regarded as a fine lawyer. He will leave for his new place in a few days. Capt. C. P. Crawford, of Milledge ville is suggested as a candidate for Judge of the Oemulgee circuit in the coming election. We do not know who will be his competitor, and conse quently cannot be accused of drawing of i distinctions or making invidious com parisons. But we do know' Charlie I Crawford, and have known him w'ell for many years. He has a high order of intellect, a sound, conservative judgment, a thorough acquaintance 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 ses the requisites.—Macon Evening News. The ladies are growing more and more partial to Dr. Bellamy's elegant preparation of Gossypium, made es pecially for their benefit. Many of the best ladies in Milledgeville are us ing it with the happiest results. It will pay ladies in delicate health to give it a trial. It is the surest, quick est and safest remedy of its kind known, relieving those pains known only, to females, almost like magic.— It is sold by druggists generally throughout the country. Dr. Kenan sells it in Milledgeville and will furn ish circulars giving full particulars on application at his drug store. On Saturday last the train on the Georgia road did not reach this city until 12:20 p. m. The delay was caused by the engine running off the track at Brown's Crossing.

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 city. Cure for Piles.

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.

A Free Trade Party. There is a call of the Free Trade League in New York to consider the 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.
