TRACKS WASHED AWAY AND RAILR'
FIREMEN KILLED.

AuousTA, Ga, Sept. 1.-Two slight
shocks of earthquake were felt this morn.
inc at 7.50 and $50, city time. The
excitement has somewhat subsidized. Sew
ernl houses have been reported to the fire
wardena MS in danger, and from all por-
tions Of the city and surrounding neigh
borhood come reports of small damage by
the shocks, such as the falling of Chin
neys, parting of walls, smashing OF
crockery, no.
In the railway accident at Langley
| Pond, 10 miles from Augusta, the fireman
was killed. Another South Carolina rail
road train is in the ditch at Horse Greek,
four miles from the city, and the fireman
killed, The latter is q stock train and is
now completely under water. The stock
have escaped with the exception of -four
horses. The shocks broke the dams al
Lnngtry and Bath, s. O., and the railroad
tracks are washed away.
GREAT AGITATION AT TYBEE-A RELIEF
TRAIN SENT TO CHARLESTON,
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 1.-The earth
quake is the topic of the hour. Efforts to
reach Charleston have been made from
all points and have failed. At Tybee the
shock was more severely felt than in the
CITY. The people on the island rushed
from their houses to the beach. The os
cillation lasted for several minutes.
The lantern lenses in the lighthouse
were broken, and the machinery of the
lamp was disarranged. The keeper hur
ried up the tower and as soon as possible
arranged a temporary light which will
have 10 answer until the lighthouse sup
Div ship reaches hero. The people on thu
beach ran hither and thither not knowing
where to go and fearing that every mo
ment tidal wave would sweep over them
The water was agitated and the wave
rose high on the beach. The houses OF
the beach swayed TO and fro and shook n
if they would fall TO pieces.

A very curious effect of mirage was wit
messed from the upper windows of the
Hotel Brunswick yesterday, looking to the
south and east-the effect of Dorchester
bay being within very short distance from
the house. The water is not in reality very
distant. The south windows of the Bruins
wick are precisely opposite the Cathedral
of the Holy Cross. and from that directly
to the waters edge is only little way.
The strong sea breeze blows in at the
windows and the harbor lights CLEAN at
night through the darkness, making one OF
the most picturesque effects ever seen from
the heart of city; but by the mirage of yes
terday the water seemed SO near you that
you could almost toss stone into it,
The Perkins Institute for the Blind
stood out cOnspcuously in the clear air,
and the blue eXpanse of water lay under a
dazzling glory of August sunshine. ISL
ands that are out of range of strong
glass were brought distinctly in sight OF the
naked eye. The eloud-line beyond was
strange atmospheric picture. The pne-
nomenon remained visible for two or three
hours, and gave the guests of the house
a surprise and delight seldom expert
enced by the conditions of the atmosphere.
The picture was one of marvellous beauty.
The glory of color could only be realized
by those who watched this singular oc
curence. From the roof of the Brunswick,
the prospect was still more wonderful, and
it was one of the most notable occurrences
of mirage on the Atlantic coast.

Why Some People Marry.

Some marry for the fun of the thing, and
never see where it comes in. This is dis
couraging.
Some marry for the sake of good COM
paniOn, and never discover their mistake.
This is lucky.
Man is a tickle ''crtter." Even Adam,
who had his wife made to order, found more
or less fault with her.
Don't marry a man for his reputation. It
is liable to be only secondhand affair
borrowed from his ancestors.
Many women have married men for their
fine exterior. But that's all there is to an
ancient egg worth mentioning.
Marriage resulting from love at first sight
is generally welded bliss on a par with sour
milk. One or the other gets swindled, and
often both.
Many man has married for beauty only
to learn that he paid $40 for what can be
purchased for 25 cents of all druggists,
This is hard.
But few people marry for pure love, and
they in after years suspicion that what were
at the time prOmptings of the tender passion
were, in all probability, but the first symp-
toms of cholera mOrbuS.
The man who marries a woman simply
because she is a dandy arrangement to have
about the house does so from a pure bust
ness standpoint, and, in the end, if not
compelled to support him, she has done
better than many women | know Of

Boston Globe.
Among the photographs scattered about
noticed one of Mr.. Howels and Mr.. Glenn
ems Mark Twain taken together; also pic
lures of Mrs. HOWells and their children.
Mrs. HOwells is very charming, and great
admirer of her husbands works. Nothing
delights her more than her friends praise
of them. The eldest child is now almost a
woman-possibly Is years of age. She is
said to be clever with her pen. and may
have inherited much of her fathers talent.
Johnnie, about IL, is bright little fellow,
and Mildred. aged IL, is an artist of preco-
cious cleverness.
Not long ago was published book. enti-
tied "A Little Girl Among the Old Mas
ters." Mr.. Howells wrote it, but the illus
trations are by little Miss Mildred. Her
father is very proud of her. as he may well
be.
Getting at last to the great question of
realism versus romance. Mr.. HOWellS re-
marked that he thought people f0nder of
details in everything than formerly; that
this is really characteristic of the time in
, which we live; we see this in journalism,
in everything, in fact. The style of
literature is changing" he continued. sit
must change as we change; if one depicts
life as it is to-day, it will, of course, diffe l
from the life that existed century ago,
because the circumstances are different.
As for school, well, each one of us writes
as he can. in his own individual style"
"What do you think of the fiction of the
future?" | asked.
Just what think of the fiction of the
present and the past" he answered. ut

and the nearer it approaches human emo

just as everyone else does who thinks OF
it at all. Our books are ourselves written
down; we do not write of troubadours and
knights, because we do not have them
