LETTER FROM A HARLEM BOY IN NORTH
EAST GEORGIA.
Editors Sentinel :
Since writing yon my last letter Gainesville
has been in quite a commotion.
First came the mysterious murder of Mr.
John O’Conner, the man who was murdered
and then placed on the G., J and S. Railroad
track to cover up the crime. Ho was killed on
the 19th day of August, 188 G. It was at first
thought that he was under the influence of
some intoxicant and had laid down and gone
to sleep across the track, but an ugly gash di
agonally across his forehead told a different
tale. It looked like it had been made with
■one sharp instrument, by a right-handed
man, but it could not be proven, and therefore
the jury could not render a verdict to that ef
fect, although they were two weeks trying. I
saw'him about fifteen minutes after the train
passed ever him. He had not been moved,
and I think it was by far the most ghastly
sight that I ever beheld.
Everything had sorter quieted down when,
on Tuesday night, the 31st of August, the town
was shaken from center to circumference by
the earthquake. It struck this place about 15
minutes to 10 o’clock, city time. I was up
stairs in my room, sitting on tho side of the
bed, reading, when suddenly and gently at
first it began to rock backward and forward,
as if some one was shaking it. I did not pay
any attention to it at first, but it kept getting
harder and harder, and then 1 thought some
one was under the bed trying to frighten me,
but about that time the windows began to
rattle as if they were going to shatter all
to pieces. And then the house began to rock
like acn die, and the lamp to dance a regular
jig on the table. And then I began to get
down stairs, as quick as possible, and it
didn’t take but two or three steps to get down
either. But of course I wasn’t scared, I just
wanted to get outside so that I could sorter
pacify those that were. There were several
young ladies in the parlor at the time, ands
a matter of course, they were nearly frightened
to death.
The Arlington Hotel gave the last hop of
season on that night, and when the shock
came they all made a rush for the door, but
went back as soon as the excitement hail
subsided, and danced till midnight, although
some of them acknowledged that they didn t
enjoy it as much as usual- There was four
subseqent shocks at intervals of fifteen
minutes, but they were not as severe as the
first. At the Hudson house there was a
regular stampede. In the outskirts of town
the immates rushed out of their houses
screaming and shouting for help, and for
fifteen minutes the air rang with screams and
cries ofwomne and ".children. Other slight
shocks have been very perceptibly felt since
then.
While walking out in the outskirts of town
on last Sunday I chanced to hear some singing
in the distance, which sounded as if it might
come from some of the African tribe. I could
not at first locate it, but going up on a little
knoll and looking down in the valley beyond
I saw about a hundred negroes gathered
around a little pond which they had made by
erecting a temporary dam across a branch
It was at once apparent that they were
baptising some of their converts. Having
nothing else to do just then, I went down to
see them “put under.” They only uad two to
baptize and the first one came out without
any demonstration but the minute the second
one's nead was raised out of the water she
with a loud and long “Glory! Glory! is e
saved” she jumped just as high as she could
straight up, and fell back “kerwhoUup in the
preacher’s arms, an 1 would have rebaptised
him if the bank had not been near enough to
catch them. She jumped straight up and
down, for about fifteen minutes, and the old
preacher had to tote her bodily out of the
water. It was a funny eight, although I
guess they were sincere in it.
“Betsy Hamilton” gave one of her humorous
entertainments at the College Hall on the
evening of the second, to quite a large and
appreciative audience. I think her writings
are splendid, and the unique way in which
she renders them on the stage, can not be
excelled’ ,
Good rains fell around Gainesville to day
but not much in town, we are needing it. v ery
much.
I am very glad indeed to hear that the
Young Men’s’Christian Association is progress
ing so nicely. I hope they will soon have a
hundred members enrolled. Well, I am
getting rather sleepy, and I guess my letter
is long enough anyway, so I will close for this
time. Good bye.
Yours truly,
Aij'ii a.
A HOT WATER WELL.
turions Effect of the Remit Earthquake at
a Marttii Mill.
Moron Teh’znvh: One of the wnt singular
effects of the recent earthquake was made
manifest yosti rd<v at the planing mill of Hays
A Mansth hl, in the lower part of the city, and
caused the stoppage of work.
Ever since the earthquake the engine r haw
no iced that the temperature of the water n
the well which supplied the boiler was rising
and that it was growing warmer ami w.-.r.iier
day by day. It is a well known fact among
thine who have had any experience with
steam engines, the boilers of which arc siippln d
with water by inspirators instead of pumps
that the former will not force hot water that
| has reached a certain temperature.
, For several da vs the engin *er for Hays A*
Mansfield has noticed that the water in the
large Veil which had been dug by the firm was
I gradually growing warmer, ami yesterday
• morning the inspirator refused to do the work.
A careful examination of the machine proved
that it was in good nvuking condition and that
the cause of its refusing t > perform its usual
functions was because of the almost b iling
heat of the water.
The c msequence thcra was a stoppage of
work at the mill, which throws quite a num
ber of hands out of work.
Ihe rem irkable occurrence brought abo t
consideiable discussion among the bands aim
others who knew of it. The prepondereneo of
opinion was on the side of one man, who said
it was his belief that the recent earthquake
had in some unaccountably way had its effect
upon the water in the well.
Local geologists, who have studied the
f irniation o ' the earth upon which the city was
built, are unanimous in the opinion that there
is a large strata of granite running across the
city from East to West, and that its line begins
at the city hall and ends at the city bridge.
People who have noticed the ledges ot ro k
just below the bridge and observed the direc
tion of the granite veins are in accord with the
geologists It is also asserted that a large
s ibterrain .an stream flows nearly paralied with
the strata <> ( granite, and the numerous spnnj s
which supply the water works are supplied In
this stream. The well of Hays A Mansfield is
supplied by a branch, which runs on the
property leased, and it is said that the foun
tain head ot the branch isl also fed by this
stream. In this way a gentleman accounted
yesterday for the singular phenomenon. He
thought that the granite strata received its heat
from the causes, volcanic or otherwise, which
led to the earthquake. Said he, “we all know
that the crust of earth is thin, and like other
substances is liable to expansion more or less
be heat. The recent earthquake was no more
than the expansion of the earth crust by an ex
traordinary flame, producing a great throb
from the heart of the mundane sphere. This
throb opened up many fissures in the earth
opening only on the interior, and these allowed
t ie extreme heat to pervade the earth and to
heat the granite strata, The waves of heat
from the granite have just reached this
subterranean stream, and the branch which
feeds the well being loose and uncontined, is
more susceptible to the heat, and thus the
water was made too hot to be used.”

To Dr. J. H. McLean, St. Louis, Mo.
—This certifies that my sister, Emily Crews,
was taken fifteen years ago with, a breast dis
ease. in connection with menstrual derange
ments which produced a severe cough and
general debility, rendering her helpless and
unable for any kind of service, and after baf
fling the skill of some of our best physicians
ami using several hundred dollars worth of
various medicines on her to no good. Last
June I procured a bottle of Dr. J. H. McLean's
Homeopathic Liver and Kidney Balm, which
at once began to help her, since then she has
used seven bottles, ami to our joy is restored
to good health, is gaining flesh and has be
come strong and able to do her housework, she
is entirely relieved of her troubles and we
would not be without the medicine under any
consideration.
