shock lasting from eight TO twelve seconds oc-
CURED yesterday morning at 5.25. II was ac-
companied by the usual vibration OF the earth
and rumb3ing sounds, sending people out Of
bed airl in many cases into the street. BY
most it is considered the severest since the
great shocl, OF August 81. Beyond the fall

been heard Of. The shock was also severe at
Augusta, Ga, Columbia, S C, Savannah,
Ga, Orangeburg, S. c., and Waynes-
boro, Ga. Another heavy shock occurred at
2;45 p. m, pronounced by many to be oil
greater severity than the morning shake,
though Of shorter duration. 1t caused con
siderable conmotion on streets, and caused
persons to quit their desks No damage yet
reported.
Another shock occurred here at : .05 p. m,
but Of slighter character than the two pre-
ceding ones during the day, at 5:21 a. m.
and 2:45 p. m Details received from the
surrounding territory show that the disturb

this state, from the coast up as tar as the
foot of the Blue Ridge mountains in Lawrence
county. The vibrations also extended
throughout lower Georgia, including Au-

First cavalry. They found two Crow Indi-
ans dead, and thirteen more wounded, while
the Sioux had left some OF their warriors
dead on the field, having been compelled to
abandon them, evidently owing 20 the rapid
advance OF tie cavalry. Detachments were
sent out, and thorough search was made OF
the hills and ravines in the vicinity. The
Sioux had made good their escape, however,
and no trace OF them could be found.
They are evidently the advance Of the war
party of Sioux which recently left Poplar

two companies OF troops stationed near the
