At Cincinnati.

To the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Sept. ia few minutes be-.
fore o'clock this afternoon telegraph op-
orator at the Bee Line depot in Cincinnati
received dispatches from operators all along
that railroad from Cincinnati to Lafayette,
Ind, inquiring if an earthquake shock had
been felt in Cincinnati, and stating that it
had been perceptibe at the office from which
the inquiries were sent. About o'clock
Cincinnati time, the operator perceived
slight tTemor in the building. The same
thing was noticed in various offices in the
city, but it was not attributed to an
earthquake until the telegraphic dispatches
from the West came in. 1t was quite diff
ferent in some of the suburbs of the city
In Clifton the agitation was so violent as to
ring bells to tables, and in some instances on
the doors. In Cumminsyille, a northern
ward Of Cincinnati, the tremor was felt so
distinctly as TO cause quite an alarm, not
only in the public schools, where pupils
were with difficulty kept in their seats, bat
at different houses. In the Mornington
school house. in the northeastern part of the
city, an agitation was felt which was recog
nized at once by the teachers as that of an
earthquake. Here, too, it required all the
authority of the teachers to avoid panic.
The shock was so slight in the business por
tion OF Cincinnati as not to be noticed by
majority of the citizens.
In Covington, KY, Mr.. Worthington's s
residence, on Fourth street, was so violently
shaken that his little daughter, lying sick in
bed, screamed with terror, saying some one
was moving the, bed.
The Assistant Observer at the United States
Signal Station was reading the Thermometer
for several minutes between 2:30 and 3
O'Clock, and Gays he noticed no agitation of
the mercury or of the building at that or
any other time during the afternoon. The
time of the earthquake, as reported by those
who noticed it, varies from 2:30 to a few
minutes past 3, and duration of the shock
from ten to twenty seconds.
Messages from Indiana report that the
shock was felt at Seymour little before 3
O'Clock, and that it was also felt with great
severity in Lawrenceburg, Ind. about the
same time. In the latter town the shock was
so violent as to be recognized by every one
as tnat of an earthquake. The tremor where
it was not severe resembled that caused by a
heavily loaded wagon driving along the
street or a railroad train rushing by. The
indications are that the wave passed from
southwest to northeast.

tive to the Joint Discus
sions.

The Democratic State Central Committee
metWednesday and was in session II the after
noon and until late hour in the evening.
There was full attendance of members, all
the districts being represented and reports
were made concerning the condition of the
campaign in the several Congressional Dis
tricts of the State. The summing up shows
thorough organization of the party in all
sections of the State, there being no factions
or factional fights. and each member of the
party working to the end that a State
and National victory may be assured
in November. The greatest confidence
in this result animates the party not only in
its lead ership, but in its rank and file.
Chairman Henderson reported that he had
been unable to get conference either with
Mr. New or with Major Calkins relative to
additional joint discussions, and the corre-
spondence on this subject, which we pub
lish below, was submitted for the considera-
tion of the committee. Dates and places
were then fixed for Colonel GraYs appoint

Sad Result of the Escapade of Miss Moro

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-A chapter Of a decidedly
sensational character was yesterday added to the
Morosini elopement matter and one which gives
the romance something Of tragic tinge. Consid-
erable gossip and speculation has been INDUCED
in to the disappearance of the family from
YOnkers, but nothing definite was known until it
was learned yesterday that Tuesday last Mrs.
Morosini. mother of Victoria, the coachman's
bride, sailed for Europe.
Coupled with this bit OF information the story
has leaked out and become an open secret that on
the night following the eopement a physician

but the physicians skill finally triumphed and
she was saved from death. She was carefully
watched but the watchers were not vigilant
enough TO prevent her taking the drug on two
subsequent occasions, in both Of which instances
like the first she was dragged back from the very
brink of the grave.
Since the romantic marriage of Victoria the
mother has been much distressed, and at times
acted in a very peculiar manner. She has had

FATAL CONFLICT OF DATES.
Failure of a Shrewd Scheme to Obtain a
Pension.

Pension.
BesToS, Sept 20.-A shrewd attempt to defraud
the Government out OF $1,000 or S., 900 pension
money has been frustrated and this morning the
accused persons were brought before Commits
sioner HslIett and held in $1,000 bonds each for
appearance tomorrow. II is one of the newest
schemes that mas yet come to light and but tor a
fatal conflict of dates it would have succeeded.
Thomas L. Aston was First Lieutenant
in the Twelfth United States Infantry. He
died in January, 1878. After several delays
q pension certificate for over $1,000 was granted
April l.. 1873. The question now arose to the
rightful ownership. His wife had died five years
previous. and his son, aged 16 was disqualified on
account of his age. Maria Goodall who was en-
ployed at No, 575 Main street, Charlestown, claim
ed that some time before her death Alston had
made her his wife. The woman is of negro de-
scent, but so nearly white that she would pass for
a white woman. She could neither read nor write,
vet she told a plausible story which was substan.
iiated by others She said that she aud Alston were
married in Providence, R. J., and that Aston had
given her the marriage certificate. She could not
read il, but had shown it to two lady friends who
would youch for its genuineness. The certificate
they had seen il. Colonel Thos. H. MacBride,
however, was not satisfied with the YER

and finally confessed that the scheme was a fraud.
Thomas Smith, OF Newton, was second cousin TO

she could get marriage certificate and show it to

money. Smith had wife with him at Newton,

noticed the discrepancy in the date. Smith did
not live with the woman. Smith and the Goodal
woman rather overreached themselves; Had there
been no marriage ceremony at all between the
Goodall woman and Aston, the fact that they had
lived together would have been recognized by the
law as sufficient evidence of their being man and
wife, and she would have been considered his

lowest on necessaries. He said
the Democrats would like to see

breech between the Republicans and Ger
mans, and affirmed it to be on account of
the formers position on prohibition. They
expected to make Up with the IRISH what
they lost in the Germans, but they would
not. The former were ready TO

At Toledo. Ohio.

TOLEDO, Sent 19.-Reports from various
points in this vicinity show the shock OF
earthquake which occurred this afternoon to
have been quite general throughout North
western Ohio and Southern Michigan. The
duration of the shock was ten to thirty sec
onds, and the course apparently from the
southwest to the northeast. 1t was most
violent at Defiance, o., where the swaying OF
the buildings created much CONSERVATION.
People hastily abandoned their houses, and
the Methodist Conference in session. at one
of the churches Immediately adjourned to
the street. The meeting of the Ladies Mis-
sionary Society, in progress at that time,
was also quickly dismissed. The glass was
broken in a number of the buildings, but no
serious damage was done.
At Cecil, O., goods in stores we're thrown
from the shelves, and passengers at the raii'
road station ran out, thinking train had
struck the building.
At Napoleon, Fostoria, Clyde, Bryan.
Archibald, and intermediate points, the
shock was distinctly felt. rattling the win
dows and crockery, but as far as reported do
ing no material damage.
In this city the large building occupied by
the Milburn Wagon Company was percepti-
bly, shaken, the employees supposing it to
have been caused by the moving of heavy
machinery. The noise was similar to that
produced by distant explosion. 1t is said
to have been heard in some parts of this
city, while in other portions the shock was
unnoticed.

Cleveland and give the State to Blaine at
the coming election, and thereby perpetuate
party in power which has brought down
the price of labor lower than ever before
known in this country. After this, the ele.
ments in accomplishing these ends are to be
turned over into the Democratic party under

nominations. Mr.. Jones declares that if
this course is permitted to go on it will
ruin and destroy the Greenback party,

DETROIT, Sept. 19.-EarthqUake shocks
were felt here at 2:45 this afternoon. 1t did
no damage, but frightened many perfons in
some places. Particularly in high buildings
was the shock more noticeable than in
others. All along Griswold street the shock
was felt very distinctly, and men immedi
ately rushed for the street, looking about
anxiously, as If expecting the buildings 70
fall on them. The shock lasted from ten to
twenty seconds, and it was the swaying
motion that ratified the windows and shook
the chandeliers. Boat Captains say there
was a noticeable rise IN the river at the same
time. At the telephone Office no shock
was felt, while In the same building
Just across the hall it was very perceptible.
Employees at the Whitney Organ building
swear the building vibrated at least fourteen
inches. In the Western Union Office the
floor seemed to heave, and the operators left
their instruments and men in the lower part
of the building made for the streets. In the
Chamber OF Commerce building, tue shock
was felt on the lower floor. Toe shock
passed, leaving all in a dizzy mental condt-
ton.
At Ann Arbor, Mich, at 2:30 p. M, a
shock was felt. 1t was quite severe, and was
felt all over the town. 1t lasted about thirty
seconds.
At Port Huron, a slight shock was felt. 1t
caused no alarm, and it was thought to have
been an explosion.
AT Ypsilanti there was a strong shock. 1t
lasted about ten seconds. The people ran
for the streets.

the buildings were falling and to ascertain

CLEVELAND, Sept. 19.-Three distinct but
not very heavy shocks OF earthquake here at
2:47 p. m. The largest buildings rocked
slightly, and the motion was felt the plainest
in the upper stories. Telegraph and other
wires quivered so as to attract attention, and
many people felt sensation of dizziness pe-
culiar to such terrestrial connections. The
vibrations extended over a period of ten to
fifteen seconds. No noise was noticed and
no damage. This seems to have been near

At Columbus, Ohio.

CoLUMBUs, o., Sept. ia shock of earth
quake was felt here at 2:14 standard and
2:42 local time, swaying objects percepti-
bly, toward the south and back. There were
two vibrations, distinctly marked, and some
tions occupied about second each. They
were felt in every part of the city, and in
all surrounding towns for radius of one
hundred miles. In the high ana
large buildings the shock was the
worst. In the upper stories of the State
house, City Hall and asylums the occupants
got out as quick as possible. At the Insane
Asylum one chandelier was swung so much
as to fall and break to pieces. An arch of
a church in the course of construction was
Jared so that it fell. Pictures and chande-
liers swung and desks moved. There was no
serious loss to life or property.
