MORE QUAKING.
Another Slight Shock.

Richmond was visited by another slight
earthquake shock at12:so o'clock on yes
terday. Mrs. VIM, who was upstairs in
her residence, corner of Eighth and Mar
shall streets felt the shock. 1t made her
dizzy, and shook the building from top TO
bottom. Mr.. Charles f. Taylor felt the
shock at his residence on Grace street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh, and the scholars
on the upper floor of the Richmond High
School also felt the shock. 1t lasted about

on the street.
Prof. Charles H. Winston, who was at
Richmond College at the time, says that
the shock occurred at twenty-six minutes
past two o'clock; that it was not violent,
but short and sharp. The windows rat
tied and a pendulum vibrated.
At the Baptist Female Institute, corner
of Tenth and Marshall streets, the shock
was so severe that the young ladies were
panic-stricken, and ran out of the build
ing into the yard.

THE CAPTAIN wOOED AND won.
One of the Salvation Army Married.


All who have attended the Salvation
Army services will remember Captain
Miss Fannie Briggs. She was about the
most lively and attractive of all the
Church military. For some time rumor
had been rife of her approaching marriage
to a well-known Richmond man But lit
tie attention was paid to it, and it was not
generally believed.
Some weeks since Captain Briggs made
her farewell address, and shook the dust
of Richmond from her little feet. There
were many regrets, and it was thought
that we had seen the last of handsome
Fannie and the blooming Captain Briggs
But the following notice tells different
story:

4th, at the residence of Jerome Wise, Esq,

the brain of William b. Hazelton, we'll

a well-known journalist, and was at one
time managing editor of the Baltimore
american. January /, 1882, he started the
Baltimore Times on large scale Among
the large staff engaged was Major r. II.
Glass, the late Dr. George W. Bagby, Mr..
James A. Gentry, and other Virginia
writers. The paper only lived ten days.
Soon after Mr.. HazeltOn evidenced
eccentricity and was engaged in va
rious mercenary schemes In fact, in
starting the Times he laid his plans on so
gigantic scale, and without any means
of carving them out, that he was then
deemed not of sound mind. His eccentrici-
ties finally became 50 noted that he was
taken in charge by friends and kept in
confinement. He was whOle-sOuled,
courteous gentleman, and was liked by
all who knew him. Many friends will
read the notice of his sad death with real
regret. The deceased was the composer
of the popular song "ln the Fragrant
Summer Time" made so popular in our
city by E. w. Ho1f and Captain Frank
CUNNING cham. Mr.. HazeltOn leaves

Accident on the Richmond and Petersburg
Railroad.

Thursday night an accident occurred
on the Richmond and Petersburg division
of the Atlantic Coast line, in the vicinity
of Port Walthall junction, by which. It
was learned, sixteen freight cars were
badly damaged. IL appears that the
freight train from Richmond was TO have
met the accommodation train, which left
here Thursday night about 8 O'Clock, at
Port Wathall, and in attempting to make
the meeting point the accident occurred.
Between Chester station and Port Wal
thall there is a very heavy grade, and in
coming down this grade the engineer, IL
is understood, was unable to check his
train and the result was that the rear
portion of the train ran into the cars in
front, with the result as above stated In
consequence of the accident the excur-
sionists who went TO the Kirmess were
delayed several hours in Petersburg, and
did not reach Richmond until Yesterday
morning. 1t should be stated, however.
that this is the first accident that has oc-
Cured on this road for a long time.

TO adhere to it, and until some radical change
occurs we shall continue 10 do so. Prices
