AT CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 31. At 0:16 p.
m., city time, a slight shock cf earthquake
wa3 felt here. The printers in the Sun of
fice started to run down stairs, thinking the
building was falling. The shock was quite
perceptible at the telegraph exchange and
other buildings, but it was not noticed
much by persons on the streets.
All the clocks in the "Western Union tel
egraph office stopped at 8:43, standard
time. Probably the worst scare of the
night was in the composing room of the
Commercial-Gazette office. There the
swaying of the building terrified the print
ers and a dozen or so jumped out of the
windows to the roof of the adjoining build
ing, a distance of six feet. One of them
was somewhat bruised in his haste, but not
badly hurt.
AT CLEVELAND.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug:. 31, 9:38 i m.
An carthqu.'die shock lasting about one
minute has just occurred here. Buildings

into the street and great excitement pre
vails. at di:tkoit.
Distkoit, Mich., Aug. 31. At 9 o'clock
tonight a shock of earthquake caused con
siderable excitement in this city. It was of
short duration, but was distinctly felt in
the Free Press building. The editorial
force made a stampede for the street.
AT INDIANAPOLIS .j
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 31. An
earthquake shock was distinctly fell here
at 8:2. A portion of the cornice of the

Nkw Yokk, Aug. 31. At 9:57 this
evening a very decided earthquake was
felt here, and according to telegrams ut
Baltimore, "Washington, and Richmond.
In the upper stories of the tall "Western
Union building in this city the waves were
plainly disceruable and persons walking

falling.
New York. 2:10 a. in. Up to 2 a. m.
there had been no communication from
Charleston. The bridge that has fallen
carried the telegraph wires into the city.
A report ha3 been received from a point
twenty-five miles from the city that the
railroad tracks leading from there to
Charleston had been submerged.
Advices from Boston say no shock was
generally felt there this evening The
New England cities, with one or two ex
ceptions, report not having experienced
any unusual disturbance.
In New York and Brooklyn the shock
wrs not generally felt except where there
was quietness and on high ground or m
high buildings. There was a stampede in
au east side tenement house, during which
a fire alarm was turned in. The electric
light in some instances went out. At this
writing (2 a. ra.) tne situation so lar as
known can be summed up in the two words
"nobody hurt.
Since the earthquake shock there has
been no telegraphic communication with
Charleston, is. C, from any point in the
country. The telegraph authorities have
been unable to get press dispatches or other
r.ommunications from there. This circum
stance occasions great concern. That sec
lion of the country seems to have been the
center of the disturbance.
at Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. Ul. A violent
shock of earthquake was experienced here
at S.5G tonight. Its motion was from north
to south and lasted fully ten seconds. It
had a rapid oscillating" movement. Great
consternation was felt. Many who were

seventy-fifth meridian time.
Savannah. Ga., reports that the shock
was the severest ever felt in that locality.
It is known that a bridge in the vicinity ot
Charleston was shaken from its founda
tion and the wires are all lost, but that is
not so serious as the fact that various other

able to get anything from the place.
IX VIRGINIA.
Richmond. Aug. 31. At live minutes
past 10 o'clock a shock of earthquake w:is

"Washington, D. C, Aug. 31. Two
shocks occurred; the second shock of
longer duration and more severe than the

in all parts of thi city and created consid
erable consternation. Several meetings
that were in progress in various parts of
the city were broken up by the frightened
members.
Prof. Simon Newcomb, of the Nautical
almanac, furnishes the following figures re
garding the earthquake: The first shock
occurred at 9:o3.20: the second shock about
9:31.30 and lasted until 9:59.
"Washington, D. C, Aug. 31. Major
Powell, of the Geological survey says
that there is a line of weakness in the crust
of the earth beginning somewhere south of
Raleigh. North Carolina, and extending n
line along the tide water past Richmond,
Washington, Baltimore and Troy, New
York; that this line of weakness is marked
by a displacement; in some places this dis
placement being a liexturc in the rocks,
and in other placer, a fault, and in the
neighborhood of this displacement u found
the principal water falls which constitute
the waters of the Atlantic step. It will be
interesting, he adds, todiscoverthc relations
of the point of origin of this earthquake' to
this line of displacement and weakness.
IN NORTH CAROLINA.

lie Discovers an Unprecedented Freak
of Nature.
Chicago, Aug. 31. A dispatch was re
ceived at the city hall this afternoon from
the mayor of Belle Plains, Iowa, which
states that an artesian well four inches in
diamctcrburst when the depth of 180 feet
had been reached in boring, and instantly a
volume of water was forced into the air to
the distance of several hundred feet. This
gradually increased in size and volume un
til a stream of water fully sixteen inches in
diameter was formed and the upward force
of this stieam is equal to the power of pow
der or dynamite. The water in huge vol
umes is spouting high in the air and the
supply seems inexhaustible.
Two gigantic rivers have been formed by
this water-burst which are running through
the town at the rate of twelve miles an
hour aud carrying everything before them.
Houses and lives arc threatened by this pe
culiar freak of nature, and the citizens of
the town are appalled at their impending
danger, which at present they are power
less to overcome. Finding it impossible to
divert this damaging llood an attempt was
made to insert sixtcen-inch boiler iron tubes
into the well, but these were instantly
blown out and forced high in the air.
Finding this plan useless, the terrified peo
ple then attempted to fill up the huge aper
ture through which this terrible geyser was
spouting its deluge.
Carloads of stone was emptied into the
well but these weic instantly blown out
aud forced upward as though propelled by
the force of a bursting magazine of giant
powder. Rags of sand were then hastily
constructed and cast into the well, but
these too were hurled into the air by the
tremendous force of the shooting water.
The Noithwestern railroad was then
called upon for assistance and instantly
sent a large gang of men to the rescue.
The bridge gang of the county were also
called upon but up to this evening rio abate
ment m the fiow of water was perceptible
and the rushing river formed by it was
washing the channel it had made deeper
and wider, while the basin formed by this
immense volume of water was spreading
over the low lands in the vicinity.
The mayor of Relle Plainc in his l.wt ex
tremity telegraphed to Chicago for the best
engineers that could be secured to come
immediately to the spot and use their skill
and energy in an attempt to stop this peril
ous condition of affaire.
City Engineer Arlingstall, io whom the
matter was referred, at once started out to
find an engineer who would supply the de
mand, and succeeded in eugaging Engineer
Morgan to undertake the mission. Messrs.
Arlingstall and Morgan are, however, both
of the opinion that but little can be done if
anything to stop the flow of water, but that
it may be possible to direct the rivers iuto
lass dangerous directions and confine them
to their present channels.
Mr. Morgan left for Belle Piains tonight
and if more assistance is necessary Mr. Ar
lingstall will send all that is needed.'
This is regarded as one of the most phe
nomenal freaks of nature which has yet
been known, and tlie threatened danger to
the people and property of Belle Plains
demand instant and energetic efforts to
stop the ruinous deluge of water.
It is impossible to estimate the damages
from the water. The south part of the
town is Hooded and cellars filled up with
water. The flow continues unabated, main
taining two rivers through the lower part
of the citv.

Rescued by His Pals.
Chicago, Aug. 31. A Daily News
special says, five armed men boarded a pas
senger train at East St. Louis List evening
and took Jimmy Carroll, the notorious
bank robber, froin Deputy Sheriff James
Ilitchcy, of Galesburg. who had Carroll in
charge, and who was taking him to Gales
burg for trial, he haying been concerned in
a big bank robbery some years ago. Car
roll escaped to Canada shortly after the
Galesburg robbery, and "tfas arrestee! and
sent to prison for a crime he had previously
committed in that country. Until then he
had alwavs escaped conviction.
St. Loins, Aug. 31. Sheriff llitchie, of
Galesburg, Ills., left the city last evening
in charge of the celebrated Jimmy Carroll,
notorious bank robber, arrested at
Galesburg for the same aperations there
several years ago. Carroll was hand
cuffed. Shortly after the train left East
St. Louis Carroll asked to be tcken to the
toilet room. Sheriff Kitchie complied with
the ryquest, but had gone but a few steps
down the aisle wheu he was seized on each
side by a man in a linen duster and held
until Carroll had reached the door and
jumped from the train, which was moving
at the -ate of twenty-five miles mi hour.
Then Ritchie was released by his captors,
who, with three other men, also jumped
from the train. As soon as the train came
to a standstill Ritchie got of but could get
no trace of his prisoner. It is thought the
rcscuer.i are four well-known St. Louis
crooks, but no arrests have thus far been
made.
Latku Jimmy Carroll and four men,
supposed to be those who assisted in his
rescue last niirht from SherifT Ritchie in
East St. Louis, were arrested this evening
at Venice, four miles north of this city
Purely Outiardical.
Nnw Youi:. Aug. 31. Members of the
home club repudiate the disclosures as to
the alleged plot to assassinate General .Mjiv
tcr Workman Powderly. Some enemies
of the club are disposed "to credit them and
intimate broadly that they are but a sam
ple of the dark records of an unscrupulous
secret organisation. In further ex plana
tion of the story Wm. Brown, an original
member of the home club, says the whole
animosity of our attack was centered upon
It. D. Layton, then called grand secretary
of the executive board of the Knights of
Labor. He was the home club's bitterest
opponent and we felt if he could be
made to know we are in earn
est he would stop annoying us
Pavton had Mr. Powdcrly's car and was
dictating the policy. If kept up it would
destroy the organization in Brooklyn and
New York. Several times, notwitlisland
ing they oppo-ed Powdcrly's election at
Cleveland, we felt as Knights that really
he ought to change his views upon the
strike in force in the Glencowe starch
works. But there was Layton intriguing
against us. I know Layton was being fol
lowed about from post to pillow in this
city by a couple of fellows who would
surely have given him a beating if they got
a chance. They did not propose to kill
him. There was no clfort made to attack
Powderly; that story was started by Lay
ton. A StupcndouH War.
Ni:w York, Aug. 31. The London
correspondent of the Timc3 predict that
the greatest war of the century is close at
hand. He said at the rercnt meeting De
Giers earnestly urged Risinan k to advise
Alexander not to return to Bulgaria. Bis
marck refused and abruptly terminated the
interview. An immense amount of tele
graphing followed between Berlin, Vienna,
London, Rome and Constantinople, and
Mr. Laeelies, British consul-general, started
past haste for Sofia, to fonstall the Russian
Prince Delgrouki, who will now probably

I AND TATENTS TO INDIANS.
Actimr Commissioner Upshur of tho In
dian offijeo has issued the following letter
of instruction to agents;
Upon various reservations where under
existing laws and treaty stipulations al
lotment of lands in severalty mav be made
l the business of allotting nnd patenting lands
to Indians should be prcsstd with the ut
most vigor.
Tlie Indian is awakening to the impor
tance of individual ownership in tho kH.
paper I
and with that in his possession has eoire
guarantee that the lands ho improves will
hot lie taken from him. The Indians mu.it
be impressed with the fact that if they de
sire to make their stay upon their reserva
tions sure and stable they mttst take up tho
lands nnd get a regular title to them from
the government.
Mr. Upshaw said to-day that many tribes
ore now as clamorous for nllotinciita aud
patents as they were formerly tenacious of
holding all lands in common.

A bill in equity has boon filed in tho di
trict supreme court by C. G. Berrinmn for
Henrv C. Strom:, of Chicago, agaiuU
Robert B. Vance, acting commissioner of
patents, and ElUha A. Gray, for an injuu.
tion to restrain the issuimr of a patent to
the latter. The complainant Mates that bo
is the inventor of the railroad electric tele
graph and telephone, and mnde application
for a patent May 18, 1SS0, and that Ins ap
plication lias been kept alive by amend
ment to claims, etc.; that Gray miImc
quentlv tiled an application for a
patent'for a multiple telegraph, which he
alleges was by trickery and deceit .sioKn
from him and is nothing but a reprodi:..
tion of the principle and design of bis ina
chine and invention He charges on info
mation and belief, that by undue mlhienec
and by complicity with the examiners. Gray
is about to receive a patent thereof, that
the issuing of a patent to complainant U
delayed by the undue intluence extended by
grav. and the patent to Gray is jiIkjuI to
be fssucd by fraud and collusion with the
officers, and if so issued will greatly injure
and delay him end necessitate long
aud tedious litigations on his part, lie,
further alleges that he to entitled to hate
official action taken on his claims, and ask
an injunction and relief. Judge Hagin'r
set the first Monday in Septemlwi ri l'J
o'clock for a hearing.

City op Mrcxico, Aug. 31. Mr Hedg
wick, special American envoy, had another
consultation with 31initer Jackson ycrtcr
day for the purpose uf procuring data for
his report to Secretary Bayard on the Cut
tingra.se. At the American legntbn notb
ing it said regarding Mr. Sedgwick's al
Iegcd indignity. Minister Jackson bias
taken no part in the matter.
London has bought a concession and w
cured entire control of the. Hunco de Km
pleados. This will have the effect of pise
ing the latter institution on a firmer foim
dation than over, owing to tho bank having
the right to isue bills u hlch had been di
putcd and carrying other valuable rights
and privileges. This action on the part of
the London bank will undoubtedly help
the continued investment of Kngllth cnpi
tal here, as had the bank failed tow-tuns
the continued circulation of its bill it
would have probably wound up Its nJTairi
