Mr.. JAY GOULD may be flattered by

at ALL Mr.. Gould is as notorious a man
as we have; and he is cred
tied with more individual power
than, any man in the world. He

ment. J. Simpson Africa followed in a
few remarks and then State Chairman w.
U. Hensel spoke for an hour. He ridi-
culed Beavers aud Brosius' evasion of the
real issues, and pointed out the necessity
for Pattisonian reform at Harrisburg. He
predicted Pattison's election and said that
the canvass reported to COoper's COM
mittee could only figure out Beavers elec-
ton by restricting Stewart's vote to 49,
600, and by claiming 1900 for Beaver in
Philadelphia. Hensel said he was willing
to stake his hopes of future happi-
ness against ,CoOper's chances before
q pardon board in tho next world
that these sanguine estimates would not
be realized. Stewards vote would be
double 10, ,0C0, and Pattison would beat
Beaver in Philadelphia. Referring to the
local troubles over the senatorial nomina.
tiOn, the Democratic chairman said
that he had neither the right nor the dis
position to make any interference in them,
but the Democracy of the district and Of
the state had right to expect Demo
cratic senator from Adams and Cumber-
land. He might be essential to an honest
and fair apportionmsnt Of tho state, and
no local troubles should be allowed to en-
danger such an election.
General Beaver was expected in Car
Isle, but failed to come, and has disap.
pointed the Republicans by telegraphing
his inability to get there. Senator Greer
came to town in the evening, but left on

Down in SOutl, Carolina Mr.. Mackey,
white, has been having a struggle over
the nomination for Congress with Mr..
Smalls and Mr.. Lee, both black. Mr..
Mackey won, seemingly because he had
the most money, for Mr.. Lee exhibited a
promissory note for $3.50 that he had
given a delegate for his vote. That,
however, only shows that he had the
most brass, for his promissory note was
not money. as the delegate would prob
ably have found when he came to have
it cashed /; Mr.. Mackey had a great deal
of assurance to offer such thing for a
vote. Promissory notes do not pass cur.
rent in like occasions in this region
where banknotes only will answer, checks
even being distrusted. But Mr.. Mackey
was buying South Carolina negroes who
were not wise enough to protect them
selves. Both he and Smalls have been
admitted to the present Congress in
which they contested the seats of white
Democrats, alleging all manner of cor
ruption and intimidation as the reason
for their defeat at the election. The
country now las an opportunity of dis
covering that Mr.. Mackey, at least, was
not a very innocent victim of Demo.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
rRxnoRs OF ax0UxD In THE WEST.

Houses Shaken and Windows Broken IN
the Mississippi vslley-Esriisr Oas-
turbances at Panams.
A slight shock OF an earthquake was felt
in St. Louis and vicinity at 4:1S Wednes-
day morning. In the central part Of the
CITY the shock was first noticed as . roll
ing, even noise, followed by twelve dis
tinct vibrations at intervals of q second.
The first vibration was the most violent.
The shock lasted about fifteen seconds.
At Springfield, ILL.,, shock OF earth
quake was distinctly felt about 4 O'Clock
in the morning. The ground seemed to
rise and fall at slow and regular intervals.
Those who were stirring at the early hour
heard q grinding noise that seemed to
come up from fathomless depths. The
rocking of houses was distinctly felt, in
some cases being SO noticeable as to waken
households out of sound slumber. The
duration of the disturbance was brief,
lasting three or four minutes.
At Centralia, ILL.,, we'll defined shock
of earthquake was felt about half.past 4
O'Clock, lasting several seconds. It seemed
to come from the west and was accom-.
panied by rumblin2 sounds. It shook
houses very perceptibly aud woke nearly
all sleepers.
At Vincennes, Ind, it ratified windows
and lasted three minutes. The shock was
moro distinctly felt further West. The
earthquake wave seemed to come from
the east, with rapid and startling motion
like swift ocean ground swell.
Earthquakes have entirely ceased at
Panama, and the customary routine of
life has been resumed. People who re-
moved at the first fright are now ashamed
of themselves, and after their two or
three days residence outside are returning
to their homes. All old and damaged
walls and those in which cracks are dis
covered are being removed by order of the
authorities, and private and public build
ipgs in which walls were cracked or the
plaster had fallen are being repaired. Tho
damage done has been less than was esti-
mated. The loss of life has been very
small, only four persons having died from
the direct effects of the shocks, and one
lady from fright.
