jacksonville Sun and Press

The good people of jacksonville went to
/, d in good time on Sunday night, only to
be rudely awakened at about Is minutes
before midnight by general shaking of
windows, blinds, and doors, rattling of
crockery, swaying of the houses, and rock
ing to and fro of furniture. Beds shook
and trembled 30 that their inmates were
almost thrown out to the floor. There
were two shocks, following each other in
rapid eucce ssion, and the duration of both
was about q seconds. In the towns along
the St. Johns River and on all the rail
roads the shock was very severe. At Fruit
Cove giaes tillGd 18th water was over

who were standiog OF the ground cay that
there waa no PerCeFtible trembling of the

as well as the startling effect. Most men

It was dark, and screamed for matches, and
mothers clutched their little ones and pre-

THE CHEYENNE MASSACRE.

d Discussing the Cheyenne massacre, the
Chicago Tribune Gays:
notwithstanding their past acts Of cruelty
there is something in their abject coalition
that appeals to sympathy, aud sometning in
their desperate determi alton to die rather
than lose their liberty that has an element Of
heroism in it. and calls for admiration. 80
long as Indians remain upon American soil
there is no eltern ative for them but to go upon
reservations and conform nearly as possib Bile
to the demands of civilization. There 10 no
choice between this and eXtermina lion, hard
as the alternative msy be, but even this need
not deter us from admiring their courage,
hardihood and love of liberty.
Yes, if these men, women and children
had worn white ekins instead of red if
they had talked Greek or Latin instead of
Cheyenne if they had died in Athens or
Rome two Thousand years ago, instead Of
at Fort Robinsonllsst week if Thucydides
or Tacitus had told their story, instead of
American newspapers-how we should
have "sdmired their courage, hardihoOd

have denounced the relentless power which
