WEAKER BUILDINGS.
A theory advanced by gentleman who
mas given the matter considerable thought
Is that the Intensity of the earthquake at
charleston was not greater than at Sa-
Vannah, but that the damage done the
FORMER city Is due to the fact that Charles
ton mas many more weaker buildings than
savannah has. The buildings in part
OF charleston were greatly weakened by
the commandment in the civil war and by
the terrible cyclone Of last year. The
churches, for instance, he said, which
are said To be In wrecked condition,
were considerably shattered by the bonn
bardment and were afterwards patched
up. The steeples suffered great deal
ON that occasion, as did also many
OF the residences and business Houses. II
oaVannah had as many buildings with
weak walls as Charleston had when
shaken by the earthquake the destruc-
uon in Savannah would have been as
great as in Charleston. This theory may
not be correct, but it certainly sounds
reasonable.
CHARLESTON THE CENTRE.
gentleman who has studied the mat
ter TO some extent yesterday expressed
himself as about satisfied that the centre
OF the disturbance was in the neighbor-
mood OF Charleston, and that the earth
waves were sent out from that point in all
directions. The mud wells on the line OF
tne railroad between here and Charleston.
Where the crust of the earth was appar-
entity broken sthrough, in his mind, con-
tirmed his theory. The shock at Charles
ton was greater than anywhere else, and
the Intensity of the energy of the earth
wave, he declares, seemed to decrease in
proportion to the distance from that point.
But there are many theories, and the
above are only few of them.

THE DAY IN SAVANNAH.
The Excitement Gradually Subsid
ing-t feet on Business.

The Excitement Gradually Subsid-
inS-t feet on Business.
The city resumed its quiet yesterday.
TIE earthquake was still the topic of con-
versation everywhere, but the excitement
is gradually subsiding. Ope-half the
population has not slept since Monday
night. Thousands OF people were in the
streets or on their doorsteps all Wednes-
day night and last night. Many moved
their household effects into the squares
and camped.
In some parts Of the city tents were
Irected and whole families slept under
them. Some slept in carriages and on cots
under the trees, and in the poorer part OF
the city many rolled up in blankets and
slepton the ground and on the sidewalks
Few people who remained Indoors closed
their houses before midnight, and then
lights were left burning, and the more
tlmid rested on cots in the nails. There
were few who ventured upstairs, fearing
a recurrence of the earthquake, aud that
they would he unable to escape.
EFFECT ON BUSINESS.
The excitement Of the people has seri-
ousiy affected business. Az the large
" n0lesaie and jobbing houses orders have
been coming in but 1t has been impossib BILE
- Gil them. There has been no suspen-
Sion Of business, but the excitement fol-
lowing the trying scenes OF Tuesday nj ght
has ,eemed to have the effect OF retarding
IT,. The retail houses have done very little
business, aud for the past two days every
thing has been nearly at a standstll.
hr work Of repairing The damaged
buidinGs was begun yesterday, and
! LAYERS were rebuilding chimneys
battered walls all over the city.
SICK FROM FRIGHT.
'tGa doctors have mad busy time OF it
Since Tuesday night. Scores of ladies
were so badly frightened that they became
sick aud physicians had TO be summoned
In most cases the trouble was nervous
hysteria and nausea, and in some ill.,
stances the patients were affected very
much az though they were suffering from
sea sickness. Several eases have been
reported Of invslids who left their beds
and ran out in tire streets thinly clad. The
more helpless the invalid the greater was
the terror, and numbers OF them refused
20 go back in the houses for hours.
THE MAILS INTERRUPTED.
There have been no local mails on the
Savannah. Florida and Western railway
since Tuesday, and points between here
and Jacksonville have been wholly cut OF
from mail communication with the out
side world. A telegram 10 the NEWS
from Superintendent Terrell states that he
will be here to-day and will endeavor TO
arrange fo- the local service on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western. The Superin-
tendeat has directed Postmaster Lamar

A FEW THEORIES

TO Show Why the Shock at Charles
ton was Greater Than at Savannah,
The theorists are advancing theories
relative 10 the cause Of the greater in
tensity of the earthquake shock at
Charleston than at this point. One gen.
tleman yesterday said that the cause was
the situation OF ChNrl eston-it beinE much
nearer the sea level, and, therefore, the
earth's crust there was much thinner
than here. He SAID that Savannah was
about seventy feet higher than Charles
ton.
Another gentleman put his view in
writing. The following is his communi-
cation:
GEoL0GtCALLY DIFFERENT.
Editor Morning Ne1os: About one year
ago the Grst artesian well here was sue
cesstully bored. The difference OF depth
between it and the Charleston wells sug-,
gested to the writer the idea that Charles
ton and large portion Of the adjoining
country was geologically different in its
substrata from that upon which this city
and surrounding territory rests. Theoret-
ically the Atlantic coast from about OPP
posite Norfolk, Va, running south and
including the peninsula OF Florida, ex-
tending inland 100 miles along this
ton. The presence OF phosphate
rock, coupled with the very
much greater depth OF the Charleston ar
tesian water suggests the following ex-
PLANTATION, VIZ: That during some pre-
historic epoch, an earthquake similar TO
the one which we have SO recently eXpe-
rlenced, had occurred. But IL was after
the present coast line was formed. 1t fs.
sured the strata from which we obtain
artesian water and thus isolated Charles
ton from this source of supply. The ts-
sure or assures extended down through
the deeper strata. II was from this source
that the phosphate rocks we're probably
elaborated. And 1t was through this
weakened spot that the pent up
forces which produced our recent
outbreak found vent. On account OF our
nearness TO Charleston the shock would
have been greater in this city but tor toe
fact that We arc cushioned, as it. were.
upon very thick layer of sand. The

EsCaDe of a Convict.

COLUMBUS, GA, Sept. BY some
means a convict escaped last Monday
from camp on the Georgia Midland road.
A bloodhound was put on his track and
overlook the fugitive, but it seems he
overpowered the dog and chained him to
a tree, leaving his shackles lying by the
dog. Two other dogs were sent after
him, which he made friends with, and it
is said afterwards sold the two ANIMALS to
q negro man for something to eat. He
made his escape

A Hero on the Skip.

II want to be locked up" an
nOunced young man who entered

"But l demand itw

The man took survey of the

then slipped out. but he had not
gone 80 feet before a boy about 10
years old rushed ont of a doorway
and yelled:
Now, old Teller, I'll run into the
