INDIANS SPElRING FISH.
The Brush Seine of the Sc enecaS and What
It Accomplished.

JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Aug. 3l.-For the first
time in ten years the Seneca Indians living on
the Cattaraugus Reservation, few days since.
drew a brush seine in the presence of fully 1000
white spectators VINO gathered at place known
as Big Bend, ten miles from Warren, on the Al
legheny River. For a week previous to the
drawing the Indians had industriously "withed"
with long evergreen boughs cable which was
long enough to reach from shore to shore of the
stream When this brush seine was completed
teams of horses drew one end across the river,
and then the fun was ready to begin.
The shores were lined with spectators and the
Clarendon Band furnished enlivening music.
Horses were hitehed to either end of the great
green cable, which was fully four feet in diam
eter and twenty rods long, and began walking
along the shore to the head of rifle, a quarter
of mile below, where rude dam in the shape
of the letter L, with the upright leading up the
stream had been constructed. Standing OF the
seine, to submerge it, was crowd of Indians,
each of whom violently beat the water with
boughs; other Indians wading just behind the
seine and observing the tactics of those in front.
The object of dragging the seine, of beating the
water, of the shouting and splashing was to
drive the fish into the shallow water of the dam,
and the result amply repaid the effort.
AS the seine stopped against the long
arm of the l., score of Indians put off into the
dam and with spears began to capture their
inny victims. The water was so crowded with
sturgeon, pike, pickere, bass, salmon. and
suckers, that nearly every time q spear was
thrown the sharp tines would mpale fish, A
more animated and excited crowdswas never
seen. The spectators shouted and cheered, the
band made all the noise of which it was capable,
the Indians were nearly beside themselves in
their eagerness to make the "catch" as large as
possible The sport was continued all the after
noon, until the spearsmen gave up from sheer
WEAKNESS, after having taken fish which would
weigh from two to fifteen pounds each, aggre-
eating fully half ton In the evening, by the
light of burning heaps of wood, the spoils were
divided, and the celebration closed with "greec
corn dance" which lasted late into the morning,
1t just possible that those who engaged in
the slaughter will find that fun of that kind will
come high, as the law strictly prohibits the
course which the Indians and their white allies
took, and disposition has been manifested to
prosecute those who in such wholesale and
unsportsmanike manner, despoiled portion of
the river of its inhabitants. But the exhibition
of o semi-savage mode of taking fish was one
which no spectator will ever forget.

to arouse the citizens, and soon there
after call for the military was
sounded by the fire bells. The call
was promptly responded to, and in few min
qtes the soldiers were Fastening to the scene.
Company after company reported for duty in
rapid succession one colored company being the
first the ground. While this was going
'on the streets leading to the penitentiary
were crowded with people excited to an
intense degree by exaggerated reports that one
of the walls of the penitentiarv had fallen and
killed a number of convicts, and that many
of them had got out of their cells,
and the guards were unable to control
them-all of which, however, proved to be
unfounded In half-hour's time from 8, 900 to
10000 people were in the vicinity of the peniten-
tiary. At 11:30 Governor Lee drove out TO the
scene, but before he arrived everything
had become quiet, the military being on
duty, and the prisoners in their cells.
When the panic first occurred about fifteen pris-
oners got out of their cells by breaking the nse-
cure bars of the transoms over the cell doors,
but they were soon secured without much
trouble, the guards firing several shots into the
air to bring them under suhjection
kilograms from Danville, Petersburg, Nor
folk. Ashland and other points state that the
shock was similar in most respects to the one
felt mere. The time of duration is reported
from thirty seconds to three minutes, and the
course from east TO west

A. Big Scare at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug 31.-The city was thrown
into a state of the widest excitement. The
shocks were accompanied by rumbling noise
and followed one another in quick succession.
At the 6rst shock, many people who
had retired were frightened, and did
not know to what to attribute the strange sensa-
tion, but in almost every instance thought it
was caused by something running about
their houses. Before they had time to
consider the matter a second and much
severer shock was felt, windows being ratified
and bric-a- brac and ornaments falling from their
positions. From every part of the city the peo-
pie rushed wildly from their houses into the
streets. Several lodges and public meetings
were in session, and those present rushed pell
NELL into the street. The negro churches
were scenes Of confusion; the negroes
fell on their knees and began to pray, declaring
that the judgment day was at hand. 1t is re-
ported that several ladies tainted, and sick per
sons were hurriedly taken from their beds The
ehimneys of several buildings smashed through
the houses, in several instances with considera

Two Shocks at Terre Haute-An Excited
Audience at the Opera-House.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Aug. 3L-At 8 o'clock this
evening, two distinct and severe earthquakes
were felt here The shocks were about ten Sec
onds apart, and each was of about twenty seconds
duration. The swayings of the earth were
frightful Buildings shook, windows were
ratified. aud in several instances plastering was
thrown down. A large audience was in the
opera-house attending a minstrel show; the
building shook, and the people became panic
stricken, being under the impression that
the building was falling. Those in the
galleries felt the shock most severely. They
rose and made rush for the exits The
crowd in the family circle and parquette
followed; women screamed. and there was fight
ing and rushing for the doors. Almost the en-
tire audience fought their way to the streets.

A Terrific shock at Columbia.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Aug. 31.-A terrific shock of
earthquake swept over this city from the south
west at 9:48 tonight, shaking buildings
fearfully, and since then there have
been ten distinct shocks, but none having
the force of the first. The first lasted three
minutes, and it looked as if buildings would be
shaken down in different parts of the
city, but so far no casulties are re-
ported The streets we're filled with people
getting away from their shaking houses. and
children screamed in terror. The printers in
the Register Office had to leave their cases sew
eral times, as the building seemed to be in immi-
nent danger, and in the direct line of
the shocks. A large political meeting was
being held in the courthouse, but it adjourned
in a panic. The walls of the courthouse were
cracked and one partition badly So The colored
people assembled in the streets praying. At
this hour, 1880 P. NJ, people congregated on
the streets and in yards, fearing a recurrence
of the earthquake.

Several police officers were present and stood in
the doorways and attempted to keep the crowd
back One man was pushed over the gallery
and saved himself by catching the railing as he
went over. No one was seriously injured, aud
about half the audience returned to witness the
performance.
Reports from all parts of the city show that
the shocks were severe. People were awakened
by the swaying of their beds and the rafting of
the windows In many business houses where
the employees were working late. there was a
rush for the streets. Many claim that they
were made dizzy and sick The shocks were not
accompanied by runblings. The earth seemed

of earthquake was experienced here at 8:56 to-
night. It's motion was from north to south,
and lasted fully ten seconds. It had rapid
oscillating movement Great CONSERVATION was
felt Many who were within their Offices and
residences fled into the streets. Numbers who
had retired. feeling the sensation, rushed out
of their dwellings, not waiting to dress them
selves. Guests at the Peabody Hotel hurried
down stairs, thinking the building was falling
1t was the same all over the city, and many
women went into Mysteries It was the severest
shock ever experienced in this section of the
country.
RALEIGH, N c., Aug. 31.-The shocks were
felt here at 800, and continuing nearly six min
utes. Buildings rocked, walls cracked, floors
broke loose from their supports, chimneys fell
and lamps were overturned. The motion of the
earth was very decided. The streets rapidly
filled with people, and screams of frightened
persons could be heard. Negroes were in great
fear. Such decided shocks were never before
felt here. Reports show that the shocks were
felt all over the State AT Washington they
were very severe and came near wrecking sew
eral buildings 1t is safe to say that no such eX-
element was ever known here as this earthquake
has caused.
CHARLESTON, w Va, Aug 31-At 955 an
we're. lasting fully three minutes. Many people
who had retired for the night were so frightened
that they arose and ran from their houses There
were a number of chimneys toppled over. but at
this hour no further damage has been reported
This is the first shock of earthquake ever expo
renced in this section. Great excitement exists,
and the people OF the city are sitting up waiting
another shock and the final result.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Aug 31.-The shock
was felt here at s:54 P. NJ, shaking buildings so
that people ran into the streets in alarm. The

South Carolina and Georgia the Center of the
Disturbance-No News from Charleston.
NEW YORK, Aug 31.-Since the earthquake
shock there has been no teleeraphic communica-
tion with Charleston, S. c., from any point in
the country The telegraph authorities have
been ufable TO get press dispatches or any other
comm dnications from there. This circumstance
occasions great concern. That section of the
country seems to have been the center of the dis
turbance. Savannah Ga, reports that the
shock was the severest ever felt in that locality
1t is known that a bridge in the vicinity of
Charleston was shaken from its foundations and
the wires all lost, but that is not so serious as
the fact that various other points through which
there should be communication with the city are
unableto get anything from the place
Up to A. NJ. there had been no communica-
ton from Charleston The bridge that has fallen
carried the telegraph wires into the city. A
report has been received from point twenty
i've miles from the city, that the railroad tracks
leading from there to Charleston have been sub
merged
The point from which the railroad leading into
Charleston is reported submerged is Ravenles,
a place on the Savannah & Charleston railroad,
about eighteen miles distant from the city. It
is probable that the part of the track under
water he's been covered by heavy rise in the
riysr-@e
Telegrams from cities in South Carolina and
Georgia say the utmost CONSERVATION prevails
on account of the non-reccipt Of news from
Charleston, and many fear that terrible calam-
ity has happened there.

Wrd Excitement at Richmond. Va.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 31.-The shock was gen.
orally felt throughout the city, and the excite
ment was intense 1t is said by many to have
been heavier shock than the one which occurred
here on the night of Dec. %, 1875 To increase
the excitement the prisoners In the peni-
tentiary tabout eight hundred in numberl
became panic-strisken, and began great outcry
and hammering on the doors of their cells. The
guards on duty endeavored to quiet them, with
out effect, whereupon fre-alarm was turned in
