EarfI0nake at RaItimere.

Baltimore, June 2S.--A great shock, suppos-
ed TO have been an earthquake, reused half the
city this morning, causing many of the inhabi-
tants to Civ to the streets. Ia the Eastern sec
i.on ofthe city some windows were broken by
the shock. II was followed by a rumbling noise
The shock was felt in the country at distance
OF seven miles from the city. ln some portions
Of the city, the people We're so much alarmed
that they ran into the streets IN their night
clothes and were fearful of returning TO their
houses. The shock continued about ten seconds,
causing The houses and furniture 10 vibrate sem
sibly. Many OF the persons who bad been turn
ed ont Of their beds by the shock We're AFRAID TO
90 10 bed again, and they remained up until
daylight. The hour at which the shock was
felt was eighteen minutes alter l. o'clock.
The powder mills in the vicinity of the city
have all been heard from and no explosion oc-
cured there. The shocks We're not felt in the
newspaper offices, owing 10 the noise and jarring
ofthe presses.
A report prevailed that Beativ's powder
mills eight miles below the city, exploded short
ly after midnight, and that the shock was by
many attributed TO this. The passengers By The
tain from that direction say that no explosion
occurred at Beatty's though the conclusion was
sensibly felt there. The shocks, it is now set
tied, We're the effects of an earthquake.
The Bay steamers report that the shock was
very sensby felt on the Bay. The waters were
greatly agiiated While the weather was calm.

The reader may imagine my thoughts, but it
will be difficult to describe them. At length
it seemed almost like an eternlty-the dawn
broke upon another day. It was ike new
life, a new being, a new existence. Again the
life blood began 10 course freely through my

wonderful deeds in the dark, the night before,
and with this raised the blanket up, and there
lay rpy sleeping companion, my bed-felow,
now sleeping the sleep Of death. After this oc-
currence, slept in my boat, and there was an
additional tent for the use Of the soldiers. But
the reason for this was 10 them mystery.

FTo0d-EOSS Of Life.

The painful intelligence aud destructive dis
aSters which il falls to our lot as public jour
nalist this day to record are without any prrce-
ding parallel in he history Of this place. Last
evening, soon after midnight, the rain began to
descend ln torrents, and continued for three
hours without cessation, which caused sudden
rise of the Canecadra and Crosby Greeks. At
sunrise this morning, most of the streets were
like so many aqueducts and torrents ofwater and
large quantities of lumber, flood wood, and other
rubbish were passing rapidly down them.
We understand the wife and one child OF Mr..
James Holloway We're drowned, about q miles
west of this village, in their efforts 10 escape
from the house when surrounded by water
The other members of the family narrowly es-
capped with their lives. We also hear reports
of other deaths by drowning, OF narrow escapes,
&c, but the reports too indefinite for us TO
attempt 10 publish them.
The disasters resulting from the flood are
painful 10 the extreme. and beside the loss of
life, which is a mournful calamity indeed, the
losses sustained by the destruction of property
and crops within the village and vicinity, it is
impossible 10 make any thing like a definite es-
timate of The damage in the village alone eX-
ceeds tens of thousands of dollars.

The trick OF know-nohingism is now thor
oughly understood and property appreciated by
the democracy OF Tennessee There are now
few persons belonging to the lodges in that
State who were originally members of the dem
ocralic party, and as for The old-Jne wings, they
repudiate the know-nothing organization with
scorn and contempt The reader will perceive
from the subionrd letter that the ''order" IS in
about as hourisbing a condition in Tennessee as
it is in the Old Dominion

LEwlsEuEG, MARSHALL County,

Tennessee, June II: 1922.
The undersigned, citizens Of LewIshurg and
its vicinity, take occasion 10 stale 10 the public
that we were induced, by inv!dious persuasion,
to join the ''konwnolhing organization" A.
mong other devices, we were informed that
there was nothing in the order that interered
with our principles, and that lis object and ten
dpncy was 10 advance sound and conservative
principles, and to put down denagoguelsn. 4
fair trial has satisfied us that no man who claims
to be freeman can be know-nothing without
surrender OF his rights and privileges that
it is at war with the spirit of republIcaniSr,
and virtually destroys the "power OF the ballot
box"
We have, therefore, withdrawn from the
association, and earnestly warn our friends a
gaiust being caught in snare dangerous TO
civil and religious liberty. Many Of us have
been denounced for our withdrawal, but we
care not for it. We intend to be treemea, and
10 do our duty as such.

IMPORTANT SUPREME CoURT DEcisIoN.-The
Supreme Court in Banc, at Harrisburg, recently
gave decision which may or may not, as the
case may be, be of vast Importance 10 men mar
rying wives encountered with real estate or
personal property. In the case in question,
''by an antenuptlal agreement the husband COW
enanted that the wife should have her property
to her own use as long as she lived, and dispose
of IT by her will TO whom she pleased: and
farther covenanted with the wife, her execu-
tors and administrators, that he would not sell
or otherwise convert TO his own use any part
of her property there was also another prosIs-
ion, that he should be indemnifed out OF her
estate for any debts he might have to pay for
her" Upon her death the next OF kin brought
suit TO recover the property, and the Delaware
County Court decided IN their favor; the hus-
band, however, carried the case up 10 the Su-
preme Court, when Judge Black, on brhalf OF
bis associates, held ".hat upon the death OF the
wife, iutestae and possessed Of personal proper
~, the husband was entitled TO take it under
the ntestate act, there being nothing in the ante
nuptial agreement 10 prevent IFS operation
He therefore reversed the decision OF the Della
ware Court, and gave judgment for defendant.

u ECAUTJoH-PRovIDENTIA EscAPE.-Last
Friday evening, Mr.. Lewis, of this village. soon
after retiring for the night--heard groan or ex-
clamation, as from one in distress. He al first
thought il was made by some one in the street.
Not being fully satisfied, be thought he would
search for the cause. He went directly TO the
door of the chamber occupied by Miss -, liv-
ing in his family. He knocked. IT was fasten-
ed but on calling her, she unlocked the door,
and rushed out, followed by such volume OF
smoke, as to nearly stiae one. MIR. h., by
prompt exeriions succeeded in extinguIshing
the fire, which in few moments would have
been beyond control. He examined, and found
the feather bed, straw bed and bedding, about
one-half consumed, the candlesiick on the bed,
unsoddered, and book there ! 1t seems that
the girl had INDUCED herself in the too common
practice of reading after retiring, and had fallen
asleep, with burnieg candle on the bed But
a moment more, and her life would have paid
the forfrit for this dangerous practice. As it
was. she escaped with only slight burn on the
arm, from the wrist to the elbow, bnt she felt as
though she would fall before she could unlock
the door. We publish this as cauton.-s4sd-

like 10 have seen that lachrymose parting that
