TRENTON, Feb. 1S.-When Judge Allan
L. McEermott's name was sent by Governor
Albeit, last Monday evening, to the Senate
as successor to Clerk-in-C hancery. George
s. Duryea, the universal demand among
the Republicans was that he should resign
some time. They wanted him to resign
both his Judgeship of the Second District
Civil Court In your city. and his position in
the State Board of Assessors. They were
not so particular about the latter place,
because the Governor would appoint
another Democrat in his place If he got out;
but they were imperative about the Judge
ship, because they could, in joint meeting,
elect Republican to succeed him. His
resignation of the Judgeship was placed in
President Griggs's hands for submission
to the Joint Meeting; and his confir-
nation for the new place for which
the Governor selected him was speed
lily and unanimously arranged. He

Each Seems to be Fighting Very Shy Of the
Other.
TRENTON, Feb. 13.-The contest between
Clarke and Mcdonald for the seat in the
Assembly Chamber from the Seventh dis
trict of Hudson County still hangs fire.
There was bitter rivalry between the two
men in the Committee on Elections, and
the committee has not always stood as it
stands now between them. Clarke de-
clares that originally he had three votes,
and that the majority report would have
been in his favor but for the interference
Of Surrogate McAvoy. The Surrogate, he
says, actively interested himself for 'sTer-
ry," and the result was that the vote of
Scheele, of Paterson, was Heaned away
from him. "Terry's" friends alIege on the
other hand, that Scheele never was for
Clarke, though Clarke counted on him.
However, he mayshave stood, Scheele is
warmly with Mcdonald now, and was one
of those who signed the majority report in
his favor. The other two members of the
committee insist upon putting in minori-
ty report, and made motion the other day
to have the whole matter laid over for fu-
ture consideration. McDonalds friends
opposed the delay, but without avail, and
the mai action or the House on the matter
was deferred. Ordinarily that would indi-
cate that, whatever may be the attitude of
the committee, Clarke has majority Of the
House with him, and the ultimate unseat-
ing of the Hon. "Terry." But it must not
be forgotten that the House was asked by
Terry's side to act without knowing what
proofs there were on either side, and the
excuse for the delsy-that members desired
to acquaint themselves with the facts be-
fore voting-is plausible enough. ''Terry's"
friends say that he will have 35 or SO votes
when the question is fAally put to vote.
The testimony in the case, with the two re-
ports-the minority and majority-is to be
laid, in pamphlet print on the members
desks next Monday evening, and the con-
sideration of the matter by the House is
made special order for next Wednesday
sometime.

feeling that hope was vain. That it was only
a question of death within the building or

men. Gut in the street the ain was filled TO
the height of the houses with a whitish cloud

A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION.


CHARLESTON. S. C.. Sept 3-The follow
ing article was prepared for publication in
The News and Courier, and is telcgrap4,ed
almost in the writer's own words:
Necessarily the description that can be
given of the disaster which has befallen our
city consists in the narration of the expert
epces and observation of individuals, and,
the subject being the same and the expert
ences of all being nearly alike, the story told
by one careful observer may well stand for
100 others, with slight variations Probably
the best idea that can be had of the character
of the disturbance, therefore, may be obtained
from narration of the events and scenes of
Wednesday night as they were presented TO a
single person. While engaged in his usual
duties in the sccond-story room of The News
and Courier office at the time of the first
shock the writer's attention was vaguely
attracted by sound which seemed TO come
from the office below, and which was SUD-
posed for moment to he caused by tho rapid
rolling OF heavy body, as an iron safe or n
heavily laden truck, over the floor. Accom-
pany the sound there was perceptiblc
trprnor Of the building, not more marked,
however, than would be- caused by the pass
age of "A street ear or dray along the street.
For perhaps two OF three seconds the occur
renee excited no surprise or comment Then,
by swift degrees, the sound deepcned in vol-
utuc: the tremur became more decided; the
eflr caught the rattle of window sasbes, gas
fixtures and other loose objects The men in
the office, With perhaps "A simultaneous flash
nj recollection of the disturbance uf the FRI
day Irforc, z, need luricdly at each other,
and slrgn% t their let, with startled u,Ies
tons aill a sweIs. " hat is that Earth
quake! And then oil was bewilderment aud
cor.,lSipn Then the long roll deepeped
and spread into an awful roar that
seemed to prvade at once the troubled earth
and the sill air above and 'aronna The
tremor was now rude, rapid quyer that
agitated the whole building as though it
were being shaken by the hand Of an i'm
measurable power, with intent to tear its
joints asunder and scatter its stones and
bricks abroad. There was no intermission in
the vibration of the mighty subterranean en-
CINE. From the first to the last it was
continuous jar, only adding force at every
moment, and as It approached and reached
the climax of its manifestation, it seemed for
a few terrible seconds that no work of human
hands could possibly survive the shocks. The
floors were heaving under foot the surround
ing walls and partitions visibly swayed to
and fro, the crash of falling masses of stone
and brick and mortar was heard overhead,
and without the terrible roar filled the ears
It is not given to many men to look in the
face of the destroyer and yet live; but 1t is
little to say that the groupof strong men who
shared the experience above family de-
scribcd will carry with them the
recollections of thet supreme mo
meat to thei dying day None
