Yesterday morning about 30 o'clock,
this city received such an earthquake
shock as it had not experienced for many
years before. 1t was felt 10 all parts Of the
city alike, bu. few of our ten or twelve
thousand people failed to be awakened by
ii, even from their soundest slumbers, and
many were very much frightened for few
minutes. Those who were awake when
the first symptoms were felt say that the
earth began to vibrate gently at first, sud
denly gHvela terrific shock, which rs sud
denly died away again to barely percep-
tlble trembling. Some people living in
brick houses were much alarmed. One
family up town reused the neighborhood
with screams and wailings, aud were only
quoted when neighbors came in and as
sured them that all was we'll without
But people living along the railroads,
were not so much alarmed. They are &C.
customed to an almost continual vibration
of the ground and all things around them,
by reason of the running back and forth
of trains. Many Of these were not even
awakened and those that were, believed il
to have been caused by the switching of
some heavy train, and went to sleep again
as though nothing had happened. The
greatest alarm prevailed among the
darkies, out 10 the barracks and elsewhere.
Naturally more superstitious than their
caucasian brothers, many of them believed
that the great Youngest Day" had
dawned; that the shock was caused by the
first blast Of Gsbriel's trumpet But there
Was no damage done anywhere in the city.
The duration of the shock was too short
for this. But it may be safely assumed
tba q second shock like the one felt would
have caused some of tue brick houses in
the city to totter and fall, aud perhaps
caused loss of life,

THE BURROWS COMMITTEE.
HINTS AS TO THEIR REPORT.

WARRINGTON, Jan, 9.-The sessions OF
the Burrows committee are rarely attended
by over four members, aud oftentimes three
are present. There are indications that q
majority Of the committee have made up
their minds as to the salient features Of
their forthcoming reports. From hints
dropped by members now and then, and
from the drift Of questions put to those
testifying, it can be predicted with reason.
able certainty that the majority report will
express strong opposition to any further
expenditure Of money in the construction
of levees, and will recommend that the
work Of the river commission be confined
to the Plum Point reach and that the work
Oh other reaches be suspended, not ouly
till after the completion Of the Plum Point
reach, but also TIL after the completed
work on that rea h shall have been sub.
jectcd to the test Of one high food. This

1t is not probable that the outlet plan will
be Endorsed by the committee. The drift
Of sentiment among the members appears
to favor policy Of making complete
test Of the commissions plan at one point
before going any further with the general
plan Of improvement
The Mississippi river commission to-day
examined Chas. r. suter and Maj. Harrod.
The former declared unreservedly in favor
Of levees as necessary Of improvement.

SCENE.
During the session of the committee to
day there was scene which at one time
promised to be serious. Chairman Burrows
and Robinson Of Massachusetts usually sit
at the head of the table in The room and
are in the habit of carrying on whispered
conferences regarding questions which they
propose to ask Of witnesses. Capt. Thomas
OF Illinois, who is a member of the com
mittee, became irr,ated to-day over these
secret consultations, and he got up and pro.
tested against that sort of thing, declaring
the method to be unusual aud disrespect-
full to other members Of the committee. II
WAS kind of star chamber proceeding, but
he intimated that such methods, however,
were to be expected from gentlemen who
were engaged 10 looking after the railroad
interest. Burrows became somewhat excl.
ted and repealed the insinuAtion regarding
ing the railroads. The matter was then
