From the st. Louis Republican, May 2s.
A little before o'clock yesterday morn
ing. the shock Of an earthquake, lasting for
nearly minute, was felt in this city and at
Carondelet and Alton. A good deal Of
alarm was excited. Persons not yet up were
aroused by the shock, and houses exposed
vibrated SO much as to cause the overthrow
Of Bower potA &c. Children were much
frightsssd, and at Alton the bells ofa clock
ws9e set ia melton. There were three dis.
tince shecks, che frat being the most seri
ous-the others following in quick success
sion. What effect may have been produced
in the southeastern portion Of this State,
where such visitations have been quito COM
mon, is Is yet unknown. The earthquakes
at and around New Madrid are matters Of
history there lakes Of water suddenly be.
como high land, and trees standing upon
high ground were ct once hidden from view
and the whole surface for great many
miles Was At once changed in position and
appearance. The effects are visible at this
day, and shocks are Of frequent occurrence.
About O'Clock cf Sunday evening :
storm Of lightning, thunder and some rain
passed over the city from the north, and du.
ring the hight rais fell for some time.

The following Il an official copy of the
finding of the Court Martial in the case Of
the Sultana disaster:
The steamer Sultana left New Orleans on
Friday, 21st Of April 1885, arrived at Vicks-
burg on Sunday April 93; remained at
Vicksburg about 30 hours The larboard
boiler leaked badly This boiler was re.
paired ut Vicksburg.' The work was well
done, q fer as it went, but sufficient repairs
were mot made. The neglect Of not doing
this according to the evidence, did not ma.
terially endanger the safety of the boat,
but should have prevented her from carry
ing high pressure of steam
On Monday, April "a, 1865, !, 500 parol-
cd prisoners, including IS officers, were
put on board the boat, bound for Cairo,
Illinois She also had on board 20 cabin
passengen and 81 employees. Arrived at
Memphis, Tenn, "Wednesday evening, Goth
INST, at about I o'clock. Went to coal
gard above Memphis and coaled, and left
there for Cairo at . o'clock A. M, 9th inst
When about seven miles above Memphis
the boiler, or boilers, exploded. Soon af
tcrward the boat caught fire and was total
~ destroyed As near as can be ascertain
ed, only about 500 persons were saved at
all, or for the most part asleep. The boat
was staunch vessel and we'll differed.
The boilers had beer satisfactorily tested
just before the down trip from St Louis.
l Good order prevailed, and the men were
\ ns comfortable az could be expected under
the circumstances The safety of the boat
was not particularly endangered by the
number Of men on board but there was no
military necessity for placing them all on
one boat, the Pauline Carroll being, at the
same time, at Vicksburg with the Sultana
The men should have been divided The
QuaSterulastcr's Department at VickslyOrg
Is consunble for not insisting on its rights,
and for permitting others, without urgent
protest to the General commanding, to per
form its duties: and the Adjutant General
of the Department the Mississippi is cen
sumble for taking upon him duties not
properly belonging to him There was no
intention however on the part of tue Off
GERS referred to, do any injustice to the sol
dicrs on board the Sultana or the Govern
mcnt
The cause of the explosion, from the evil
dence, was by there not being sufficient wa
ter in the boilers.
- The evidence fully shows thatthe Govern
mealt has transferred ~ many Or more troops
on boats a DO greater capacity than the Sui
