SHAKEN UP AGAIN.

Southern Cities Visited by Another Earth
quake-The Shock Covers an Extensive
Area, but Docs No Great Amount OF
Damage.
WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-The severest
earthquake shocks since August p were
felt all over the South yesterday. The
first one, of twelve seconds duration, oc-
CURED here at 5:2Ss Yesterday morning.
At Sumraerville, S c., it was followed
by several 'baby'' quakes. 1t was
also felt throughout the State, in North
Carolina and Georgia, and as far west
IS Chattanooga, Tenn, where it was
sharp enough to awaken people from sleep
At 2:45 p. m. another and severer shock
was felt, which is said to have lasted for
thirty seconds. Special dispatches have
been received indicating that the seismic
disturbances covered a larger area of coun-
try than any previous shocks. This shock
was felt at Louisville, KY, where it lasted
five seconds and vibrated north and south.
In Charleston and at other points in
South Carolina the shocks were enough to
shake buildings, bring down plastering,
and widen the cracks made in houses by
previous shocks, but no loss of life is re-
ported from any quarter and no serious
damage to property. The custom-house
was badly shaken, the western wing of the
building being cracked and the walls sup
porting the roof on the west giving away
slightly. The shocks caused no interrupt
ton to business.
At Savannah, Ca, the first shock was
felt at 4:55, and continued for fifteen or
twenty seconds. Many people, especially no.
tel guests, were reused and did not go back
to bed. The second vibration occurred at
2:20, and was accompanied by rumbling
noise. No damage is reported.
At Columbia, S. c., the afternoon shock
was accompanied by loud defamation, and
shook buildings for about six seconds.
Four shocks were felt at Greenville, S.
c., at 2 80 and 5 :25 a. m. and 80 and 4:30
p. m.
The earthquake was felt in this city at
$3.50, where it was sufficiently strong to
''pi" type on the imposing stones in the
fourth story Of the Star Office. Clerks
on the fourth floor Of the State,
War and Navy building were alarmed
and ran into the corridor but the
disturbance was not noticed on the lower
floor of the building. Slight tremors were
indicated by the seismoscope at the signal
Office for period of fifteen minutes, but
were not perceptible to persons in the room.
A painter at work on the cross on the new
steeple of Ascension Church, 100 feet from
the ground, felt the steeple sway to and
fro.
At Jacksonville and other parts of Florida
the shocks were plainly felt.
At Richmond, Va, and Columbus, o., the
earthquake vibrations were very percept-
ible in the upper stories of buildings.
At Cincinnati, o., persons occupying the
upper stories Of high buildings felt the
shock very perceptibly.

of the Assinaboine squaw by the Crows

on revenge.

Peter Barth, of Milwaukee The follow

WHEREAS, The conditions under which the
organization was called into life are still eX-
Isting; ON the contrary, the dangers TO the
principles of personal liberty have greatly in
creased and become more imminent with the
zeal OF the PrOhibitiCnistS in working with
unabated vlgor and fanaticism; the move
ment against the liquor traffic is taking Ma
tional character and will surely become the
bone of contention in the next National polit-
lcal canvass. Since such increased efforts on
the part OF our enemies will require stronger
and more powerful res stance from our side
the Wisconsin State AUTHORIZATION ASso-
cation, in annual convention, reterate their
principles as declared in their platform ac-
copied by this body October 8, 1885, and fur
Their declare:
That it is eYerybody's solemn duty to abide
by the laws of the State however burdenscme
and contrary to the established usage they
might be; yet, we shall use all our influence
and all honorable means within our reach to
oppose the enactment of any further laws re-
str.cting or burdening the manufacture and
sale of wine beer and liquor That we shall
try our best to get repeal of all such laws as
uniustiy infringe upon the principle of per-
sOnal liberty or tend to hamper any legitimate
business.
That we denounce the malicious endeavor
to bring lawful occupation and the manu-
facture and sale of general commodity of
life into public disrepute by publishing and
preaching falsItied history, distorted facts and
hateful doctrines as gross immortality and
contemplate insult against large class of
industrious, law-abiding and tax-paying citi-
zens, and as a mockery and sneer at the
common sense and intelligence of the people.
That we consider ourselves free from any
political party, and we will bring TO bear our
influence and action into political campaigns
only as far as our principles and interest may
be affected by legislation.

The United States Supreme Court Reverses
Decision of the Illinois Justices in
Which the Interstate Commerce Ques-
ton Is Involved-Congress Alone Can
Regulate the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Supreme
Court of the United States rendered de-
cisiOn yesterday in the case of the Wabash,
St. Louis q Pacific Railway Company
against the people of the State of Illinois,
brought upon a writ of error from the
Supreme Court Of the State of Illinois.
The question presented in this case, as
it came to the Supreme Court, was
the general subject of the power Of
the State Legislature to regulate fares
and tolls for passengers and freights
over railroads within their limits The
specific charge was that the railroad COM
pany charged parties in Gilman, ILL.,. TWEEN
ty-five cents per hundred pounds to trans
port goods from that place to New York
City, and charged other parties in Peoria,
ILL.,, eighty-siX miles further from New
York City than Gilman, only fifteen cents
per hundred pounds to carry their
goods to New York City. The case
was tried in several Illinois courts
with varying results, until finally the
Supreme Court Of the State held that this
discrimination was in violation Of State
laws, and rendered judgment against the
railroad company The decision of the Su-
preme Court to-day is in effect, that the
State law regulating freight charges can
not apply to Interstate traffic, as such APP
plication would trench upon the constitu-
tional powers of Congress, and be a dam
aging restriction Of the freedom of traffic
Justice Miller delivered the opinion of the
court.
Chief Justice Waite and Justices Gray
and Bradley dissent from the 1opinion,
holding that, Congress not having legis-
lated to prevent unjust discrimination in
railroad charges, the State of Illinois had
the power to do SO. The dissenting Judges
thing the effect of the present decision of
the. court will be to surrender and give
over the just powers of the States to the
railroad companies which they have Gre
ated, and which depend for all their powers
upon the grants received from the States.

WE appear to be passing through a
cycle of disastrous phenomena. Hur-
ricanes in the North and West, earth
quakes in the South and East destroy
ing property, engulfing towns and
making prey of brute and human life
The disaster in Texas and Louisiana
exceeds that of South Carolina in
magnitude; the loss of life is certainly
greater in the parishes that have been
swept by the waves than in the city
that was shaken by the earthquake,
and the value of property destroyed is
also greater.

seen since 1874, has recently made its
appearance. 1t will not be visible to
