Officers of "A Vessel Make an Interesting
Report.
WASHINGTON, September 4.-The Off
cial reports received from vessels enduring
the earthquake shock Of Tuesday evening
have heretofore indicated that the shocks
were not felt. 4 report at the Hydro
graphic office, Navy Department, to-day,
however. shows that the steamer Palatka,
twelve miles Ofrthe coast from Port Royal,
felt the shock at 9:45 p. M, when in eight
fathomS of water. The waves were given
an unusual motion, the vessel was strained
and vibrated violently, and the sensation
was as ifthe steamer were scratching on
pebbly shore The ships Vibrations
WERE VERY GREAT.
The lighthouse board has received a re-
port from Charleston to the effect that the
main tower of the Harris Island light is
cracked near the third landing from the
ground and that the floor in the water
room upon which the lens rests is somewhat
loosed. Cape Roman light and tower
have been seen since the earthquake and
are supposed to be all right The lens at
the Butts Bay lighthouse has been thrown
offits pedestal.
A CURIOUS EFFECT
Of the earthquake has been discovered at
the signal office. The self registering
wind vane shows 4 horizontal mark pre-
ceeding and subsequent to the shaking
denoting a mild, steady and most invari-
able breeze but for the thirty or forty
seconds of the most violent shaking the
marks indicated that pencil point was
made up and down the paper many times
and with great difficulty. explanation
of this phenOmns is difficult to reach.
This is the only instrument at the Signal
Office which seems TO have been affected
by the earthquake and some anxiety IS
felt with regard to possible effect Of the
earthquake at Bermudas. The islands lie

BERNIUDA'S PERIL.
Fears Entertained That 1t Has Been Swept
By a Tidal Wave.

WASHINGTON, September IA gentle
man who visits Bermuda yearly says that
Charleston is not the only place over which
anxiety may well be felt at this time. 1t
is we'll known that the island, by its pc
culiar formation and location, is especially
susceptible to injury by earthquake
shocks. 1t has been one of the fears OF the
inhabitants for u hundred years that some
day a convulsion of this kind would wipe
them out. The island is OF coral iounda-
ton built up on top OF.
4 VOLCANIC MOI STAIS
of great altitude and steepneSs Some OF
the soundings in that vicinity equal i'll
depth any in the world. The base Of this
submarine mountain is not much wider
than the top, and the existence OF great
caves, through which the sea water finds
its way to the interior of the island, shows
its unsubstantial construction. Theisland
is only fifteen miles long by two or three
broad. and nowhere is the altitude over
300 feet. 4 single severe CONFUSION

1t lies in the same latitude almost toa sec
ond rs Charleston, and only 675 miles dis

Charleston would seem to indicate that its
force spread itself up and down the coast.
Yet it is not unlikely that its force may
have extended in an eaSterly direction, in
which event Bermuda might have suffered

BURTON, w. Va. September Again
is the Red Man in our midst in all his
pristine dash and glory. The residence OF
Henry Church, an aged and highly respect
able citizen OF our county, living mile
north of the ''Old Hundred" oil well here,
WAS raided last night and two females
who are in the habit of staying at the old
mans occasionally, were tarred, festhered
and generally roughly handled.
The raiding party numbered, it is said,
about fifteen men. Mr.. Church, in whose
room the women sought refuge when
THE DOOR WAS BROKEN IN,
was somewhat used up in an effort TO fight.
The women were notified that at given
time if not speedily absent, they might
expect no mercy whatever, at the hands of
the crowd, that they would be hung until
dead, surely and certainly.
those of Rock Camp are heartily tired of
those female characters and Others of their

TALKING AT LONG RANGE.
A Satisfactory Fest Made of Newl
 InXented Eelephone.

A Satisfactory Fest Made of Newly
 Invented Telephone.
 GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 6.-What is re- garded here as an important test of a newly invented telephone was made yesterday and it proved great success. The instrument is known as the Bartlett Nelms telephone, be- ing the invention of s. L. Bartlett and w. W. Nelms, both young men and residents of Houston. The test consisted in talking over 8 wire 830 miles long, that being the distance to New Orleans and return. The articulation was far more distinct and perfect than over the ordinary short circuits by the Bell tele- phone. About dozen leading citizens talk ed over to days circuit and all agreed that versation by telephone. The new invention differs from the Bell, Edison and all other telephones inasmuch as it combines the eff fects of an induction coil and the helix of 8 handphone, causing them to act simultane- ously, by winding the coils in the same di- rection and using a carbon diaphragm with three carbon contacts, enabling the use of large battery. Yesterdays test was made with three cells. For 8 short distance no battery whatever is required, the automatic dynamo current being sufficient to articulate with great distinctness and steadiness. The inventors claim that they can talk from New York to San Francisco with the same dis tinctness as shown in yesterdays test. A caveat has been issued on the new instru- ment and the patent office is now considering an application for a patent.

 HARTFORD, Dec. 6.-The Board of Pardons | held session here today, beginning at 12:45 | and lasting till late in the day. Applicants for pardon were John H. Davis, watchman cerated for life in 1879 for complicity in the murder of his fellow watchman, Mir. Ship man, for which Henry Hamlin was hung and
 William Allen was sent to prison for life. It was expected that he would apply for par don and at the present session of the Board same as he did when on trial in 1879, except that his face is cleanly shaven and bears a more hardened appearance. He looked anxiously around him, but was asked no question.
 William McNamee, a young man undergo. ing sentence of three years for burglary, was next presented. He acknowledged his crime, but said he committed it in order to obtain money to provide medicine for his wife. His two children have died since his incarceration and his wife is now critically i'll. There was no opposition to his appeal
 Francisco Donate, an Italian who is filling sentence of ten years for attempt at mur- der, the crime being committed in the fall of 1884, pleaded for release on the ground that he had been sentenced illegally.

A Horrible Accrdent.

AKRON, O., Dec. 6.-Miss Bertha Cook, aged nineteen, met with a horrible acci- dent to-day. She was attending an old woman prostrated with paralysis when her dress brushed against the stove and ignited. The flames quickly enveloped her and she ran screaming to the door. The invalid by almost superhuman efforts arose and threw a blanket around the girl. She succeeded in putting out the fire, but not until Miss Cook was so terribly burned that she was rendered a raving maniac. The old lady after the ex- citement relapsed into her former condition and owing to severe burns cannot recover. Miss Cook will undoubtedly die.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 6-C1ement A. Lozier, the twenty year old son of Dr. A. W. Lozier, died at his fathers residence yesterday un- der very peculiar circumstances. The young man, who was in the sophomore class of the New York university, had been slightly i'll for two weeks past, but was in the best of spirits yesterday. About o'clock he went to his room and half an hour later his young brother found him on the floor dead.

He had cut one of the heads out of the picture and evidently still held the penknife he had used in his hand when the first dizzi- ness of the attack was felt. That he must have realized what was coming and suffered for moment great pain is shown by the circumstance that he scratched across the knife: "Oh, my God; help!"

He was member of the board of water commis- sioners from it's origin until his death, and to him, together with the late William H. Barnes, the city is mainly indebted for the successful establishment of the water system of New London
