That Earthouake.

The st. Gainesville Gazette has this
mention Of the phenomenon OF Sunday
night: "On Monday morning between
two and three o'clock, loud noises were
heard resembling two sudden peals OF
thunder, by number Of persons in this
vicinity. The shock produced a rafting
OF the windows and shaking OF things
generally. Some say that the noise was
accompanied by a bright light which
illumined the sky and made the night
brighter than day. Our information is
that the same sound was heard at
Flushing where il resembled somewh hat
the explosion OF a blast in the tunnel,
at Captina, at Bellaire, and in all parts
OF the county. Was il an earthquake
is the question"
The GAINESVILLE Eniepnse says:
about two o'clock last Monday morn
ing q number OF people in GAINESVILLE
were suddenly awakened by a loud
noise, not unlike the ex plosion OF boil
er, or the report of blasting in a we'll or
quarry. Some describe il as a clap OF
thunder. loud at first, then dying away
in the distance. Ii shook many OF the
houses near the railroad, like unto the
heavy vibration of windows caused by
the lsbored efforts Of heavily lsdened
locomotive. A few persons, who hap
pened 10 be At windows or at doors, saw
brilliant light fash across the sky just
before the sound. Many persons thought
slight earthquake had occurred, but
the noise and light was doubtless caused
by rushing meteor which had got
within the earth's atmosphere. Our
Bellaire correspondent reports its ap.
pearance in Bellaire.

The Fourth Street Social.

OF course there was a large attendance
at the social, last night, given by the
ladies of the Fourth Street NJ. +. Church.
There always is. Perhaps as many as
two hundred person persons took sup
per, and every one of them is willing to
attest the excellence thereof Ii was
gotten up in the best OF style, and could
not TAIL to please. Without any
soliciting or begging, everything
on sale was disposed of at good
prices and many Christmas presents
were secured there.
The social features OF the occasion
were no less successful. \ programme
of music and literature was inflated by
a piano solo by Misses Wagner and
Warren. Mrs. Stanton and Miss Nam
ME Britt sang, as we'll as the church
choir, and select readings were given by
Mack Kelley, Miss Jessie Stout and
Charles Morrison. With refreshments
and conversation, the evening was
pleasantly whiled away.

That Ancient Order.

A great number OF persons are worry
ing still, about that order OF court by
which forty feet of ground will be re-
served on each OF that ancient and
majestic structure, the court house OF
Ohio county. Ii became known, yes
tertlay, that Alex. Laidley, OF Charles
ton, has been written to upon the sub
ject. Mr. Laidley was clerk OF the court
at the time the order was said to have
been entered. 1t was claimed by those
who oppose the erection OF
the Barr-Hubbard building, that
away back in the ancient history OF
Wheeling. the County Court had caused
10 he entered up an order reserving
forty feet of ground clear on each side OF
the court house; that this order had
been entered in order book p, and from
thence been surreptitiOusly "a lawyer
called it "surruptiously" spirited away.
Yesterday a weekly paper man was
prowling about among the records work
ing up more sensations on this subject.
Ii was said he had received let
ter from Mr.. Laidley, stating that
such an order had been made
and was at one time in existence, II
this letter has been received, the public,
ora small portion OF it, will probably be
duly informed, on Sunday, under hall
column OF startling head lines.
But suppose such an order was made;
does that stand through all eternity,
immutable as the law of the Medes
and Persians? at is ridiculous" said
a prominent lawyer, yesterday. The
County Court made and the Board OF
Commissioners can unmake. The Board
has the power TO annul such an order
at any time
And the villain still pursued her.

Another Serious Accident-Died Of His
Injuries-Fersonal Notes.
Last evening about FIVE o'clock, boy
named Francis NJ. Shivers was pretty
badly shivered by a peculiar accident.
1t seems that he had been fooling with q
gun-barrel, and the stick which he was
nsing az ram-rod broke off inside the
barrel. For some reason he put the
large end of the barrel in the tire, and
stood in front of the muZzle while 1t was
heating-but no longer. 1t was, as usual
in such cases, loaded, ana, also as usual
in such cases, it went of. The stick
pierced the boys left arm. and contin-
ned its course, making large hole In
the ceiling. The boys injuries are pain
full in the extreme, but not necessarily
dangerous.
Samuel Meeks, the man who was in
iured in stone quarry accident on
Tuesday, died OF his injuries last even
ing at half past eight o'clock. 1t seems
our informant was mistaken in locating
the accident at McClain's quarry. 1t
really happened at the quarry owned
and operated by the rolling mill. Both
are IN the same vicinity, on Indian run.

that this belief may prove correct.
