EARTHQUAKE ITEMS.
INVESTIGATING THE CAUSES OF
THE CHARLESTON SHAKE.

New YORK, October IA Charleston special
says that Charleston scientist, known to be an
accurate Observer was recently selected to nvesti-
gate the story that earthquake shocks had been
felt at Ninety-six, S. c., about thirty miles from
the Georgia line, and 1dO miles from Charleston,
for eighteen months, and were increasing in fire.
quency and vigor. His report confirms it. One
influential farmer, j. NJ. ID. Kinard, says he first
heard underground noises in January 1885, He
heard noises frequently the first day, but did not
hear them again for several weeks. The longest
period of rest, all agree was jdst before the
Charleston earthquake. The sound of that move
ment was like the roaring of train of cars, and
lasted longer than any of the others. The others
were dull booms without repetitons. They all
caused houses to shake and sashes to rattle, For
two weeks before the last week, noises were heard
night and day Few persons had single night of
sound rest Ten reports were heard Sunday night
of last week. Some were so heavy that DR.. Blank
says he twice arose, thinking thunder storm was
passing but the sky was clear. Reports have
been heard at intervals ever since.
John Williamson says one shock on that Sunday
night made his house. new one, trembe for half
a minute.
These shocks come from the southeast and
seem to be almost vertical impulses. The district
affected is abou ten miles square, covering what is
known as the Cambridge lands.

AUSTRIA.
A NEST OF DEMONS.

VIENNA, October 1.-THE Vienna police have
furnished the press with account Of the recently
discovered anarchist plot to burn Vienna Al
though many details are obviously suppressed, q Q
plot Is shown to have surpassed In extent and da.
bocal ingenuity any dynamite plot ever csEcocted.
Seventeen Of the conspirators have been arrested.
An examination OF the prisoners shows that the
plot was hatched In and directed from America and
London, and was to be carried out by Vienna an
archists recently returned from America The
plot Was cleyerly organized. The conspirators
were divided iLto several groups one OF which
was detailed to fire the town, another to take
charge OF the dynamite operations, and another to
forge the necessary official documents to get mon
cy for expenses Parties were detailed 10 set fire to
Pensing, Under,Weedling, Herzenbof, Wedding
and Fayorien, The police got wind of the plot,
and watched 1t until II almost matured. They re-
ceiyed universal praise for their zeal and circum-
spection. An anarchist of Prague gave the fret
information concerning the conspiracy to the au-
therities. The plottere were mostly Czeka and
Germans. They held secret meetings In tayerns
at Pienzng, where the operators Instructed In
the use and manufacture Of bombs. The manu-
facture included numerous daggers, bombs, dyna-
mite, fire bottles for firing buildings, printing and
forging implements, and variety Of disguises all
OF the most ingenious character. Another plea to
obtain money was made by means OF forged docu-
plotters would make domiciliary visit under the
pretense Of searching for counterfeit money then
they would seize all the goods and money upon
which they could lay hands, A recent fire In pri.
yate house was the result of an experiment with a
fire bottle.

PORK PACKING.
HOW CHICAGoIsL LOSING HER GRIP

HOW CHlCAGO IS LOSING HER GRIP,
CHICAGO, October ia published interview
concerning the stock yards strike at Armours
says:
The day of Chicago supremacy as pork pack
ing center will soon be thing of the past Kansas
City, Omaha, Cedar Rapids and other western
points are fast taking the business away from here
Take Kansas City, for instance, the price of hogs
there is 25 cents per hundred less than it is here
while her freight rates to all western and southern
points are as low as ours, and her freight rates to
the Atlantic sea board are only IL or almost Is
cents per hundred higher. In other words Kansas
City freight rates to markets where
80 por cent of our products are sold are Just as
good, while hogs are cheaper. What is true of
Kansas City is true, in greater less degree, of
other western points. 1t is the natural course of
events. The corn belt has moved west and with it
hog raising. 1t is history repeating itself. Only
few years ago Chicago took away supremacy from
Cincinnati and st. Louis.
To show that this is not idle talk, brought on by
the present troubles, will say that l have not
added single brick to my packing house property
here in Chicago, while in Kansas City, where al
ready had 81 100000 worth of property, | have
built S300,O0O worth additional this summer, and
between now and next January will build another
S300,0O0.

AROuT OFFICERS.

New YORK, October IA Richmond, Va,
special says; "There is a movement on foot tC
elect officers of the Knights of Labor Thursday
and lay the adoption of the new constitution over
perhaps until next year.
Many delegates who are Oppos d to Turner's re-
election are compelled to return home this week
and they, as well as those with whom they will
vote, are determined, if possible, to suspend the
rules and elect officers before their ranks are de
pleted by departures. If the election is held on
Thursday the opposition will present the name OF
Joseph II. Buchanan for general secretary and
treasurer, and it is almost certain that Mcneil OF
Boston, will be nominated for general master
workman against Powderly, There is no prospect
of defeating Powderly, however, ,and Mcneil would
probably not allow his name to 20 before the con
vention could he prevent it."

They saw a number of negroes lettering near the
house occupied by a negro named Barbee,an upon
asking him for the parties who had offered the in
lade of shot and balls from the house, which re-
suited in the killing of Ereeso and wounding of two
students.
The negroes, Pat Brown, Jessie Harris and
Westey Marritt, after the firing made their escape,
