If all the incidents of the Charleston
earthquake should be collected and
printed they would make interesting
reading. One of the latest published
relates to young couple who were court
ing when the shock came. 1t extin-
guished the lights, filed the air with
dust, and jammed the doors SO that
they would not open. The young man
rushed to window leading to the
plaza, but in the dark plunged both
hands into a large plant urn full of
water. Starting back to the young lady,
he threw his arms around her, and said
Darling, a tidal wavs is comingl 1t is
nlready up to the windowsl Let us die
together' in which position they were
found soon afterward by the family.

It is stated by Brank Leslie's that "the
crowded quarter of New York city, of
which East Broadway and Hester, Lud-
low, Baxter, Mulberry, Bayard, Mott,
Division, Essex, Chrystie, Elizabeth an
Cherry streets are the min arteries, is
picturesque, but undeniably dirty. tits
the region of swarming tenement-houses,
sidewalk booths and stands, and cellar
grocery stores where unwholesome food
and decaying vegetables are the staple
articles of trade. The population con-
sists chiefly of Hebrews Bohemians,
Poles, Hungarians, Germans, Italians,
Irish aud Chinese, and is, as a whole,
both poverty stricken and filthy in its
modes of life. In these breeding places
of disease, unusual vigilance is required
on the pa t of the Board of Health In
speetors, particularly during the summer
and autumn, when fruits and vegetables
are abundant, and fish and meat will not
keep" All the refuse provisions and
over-ripe or unripe fruit of the city seem
to gravitate towards these districts,
where the poor people swarm about the
markets OF venders' wagons TO get bar
gains-taking no matter what, so long
as it is plentiful and cheap. The In
spectors have to make wholesale seizures
here, carrying off wagon-loals of villain
ous trash at each raid. OF course the
dealers stand in mortal terror of these
officials, and many of them have their
malodorous stock in trade ready to be
boxed up or bundled into a dark cellar at
a moments warning. Rotten tomatoes
and bad eggs being plentiful and cheap,
they are not infreqently employed as
missiles when the dealers venture upon
war with the guardians Of the city's
health"

There has been, it is stated, great
awakening among the Beers Dutch set
tiers of Natal, South Africa. They
have been SO busy with prayer meetings
that the worldly have complained that
they have spoiled the annual races. The
leader among the converts is n Mr.. Mel,
who says he can count over two hundred
in his sparsely settled district who have
experienced change of heart The
work was a very quiet onel beginning
without the agency of evangelistic meet
ings. These awakened showed great
anxiety for the heather Kaffirs, and
many natives have been converted.

The Rev. A. /. Hillman, of Atlanta,
ownsafarm in Taliaferro County, Georgia,
ON which is big alum rock. He decided
TO dig well beside the rock in hopes of
getting an alum spring. A shaft twelve
feet deep was sunk, and then a niche
was cut in the rock that water might col
lcct there. The hole, or well, or shaft
has now developed remarkable curative
powers. 1t has cured several persons
who suffered from rheumatism, and all
they did was to go down in the hole. Mr..
lIillman thinks it is full of electricity,
others think the alum does the business.
Alum is so strong in the shaft that it is
tasted with every breath inhaled.

AT the last meeting of the Savannah

The Synagogue Mickva Israel was
beautifully decorated at yesterday morn
ing's services. The feast of the PenLecost
began on Wednesday at sundown and
hwill end to-day.
Forty-seyen days after their exodus
from Egypt the descendants of the Patri-
archs, after traversing the desert OF
Arabia, encamped around HOreb and
listened with awe to their great leader
and legislator as he declared the preamble
10 their charter of freedom in the follow
ing words: "le have seen what | did
with the Egyptians, and how bore YOU
on eagles wings and brought you unto
myself. Now, therefore, if YOU will obey
any voice and keep my covenant then snail
ye be TO me the most beloved OF all
nations; for all the earth is mine; and
you shall then be to me a kingdom OF
priests and holy nation. These are the
words thou shalt speak to the children OF
Israel" These words were intended to
Impress the Jewish mind with the mercy
and omnipotence OF God, and to prepare
1t for the sublime truths that were about
20 be promulgated from the treasury Of
Heaven into its custody.
Three days afterwards the immense
multitude assembled at the foot of Mount
Sinai and amidst the terrible elemental
strife that shook the earth around them,
heard the voice OF God, amid the glory
fhat blazed upon the Mount, declare the
Hen Commandments to his servant Moses.
The festival known as PentecOst of the
Feast of Weeks occurs on the sixth day OF
the Hebrew month Swan, the third OF the
Ecclesiastical year, and on the tiftieth day
from the Feast Of Passover, and commem-
orates the public declaration Of the Deca-

. BUNTING THE WRECKERS.
1.-TWO DISCHARGED CENTRAL
EMPLOYEES UNDER AREI1Sr

nj, Prendergast and y. J. Lawler in Jai
ut NTiIIen Charged WHh The Murder O
Fireman Maddox at Rogers station
Their Arrest by a TeleG Gr"ph Operator
at Rocky Ford-Fhe Evidence Agatns
1hem as Yet Only Circumstantial.
Information was received in the city
yesterday that two men supposed 20 be
those who wrecked the Georgia Central
train Tuesday morning had .heen arrested
near Millen. The report circulated rap
IDLY and caused considerable excitement.
The mems names are NJ. Prendergast and
IN. j. Lawler. Both are Sayannahians
and were formerly in the employ of the
Central road. They were arrested by
telegraph operator near Rocky Ford
Tuesday afternoon, and were lodged in
Millen jail.
The evidence discovered so far against
the two men is believed to De wholly cir
cumstautial. II is said that Prendergast
and Lswler were put OF of train at
Rogers Monday afternoon for stealing
Eide.
THE OFFICIALS SAY NOTHINGt
The officials Of the road decline to say
anything further than that they have two
men under arrest. superintendent Rogers
when asked about the case yesterday
shrugged his shoulders and intimated
that every clue is being worked. The
company has Detective William Jones,
Of Atlanta, looking up the
ease. He was on No. 81 when
the wreck occurred, and 1t is understood
that he picked up some clues before com
Ang on to Savannah. He got here Tues
day morning with the other passengers,
and he had a conference with the railroad
hff oil oft ha pnf
back up the road, and remarked to a
Grend that he believed he had the names
of the men who put the piece OF wood in
ahe frog. At Rocky Ford he got a tele-
graph operator to make the arrest.
TWO MEN ARRESTED,
Yesterday a warrant was served on the
RWO prisoners charging them with the
murder of the fireman, Maddox. A special
ITO the News from Millen, received last
might, says that the community is salts
ted that the parties in jail are the guilty
ones.
There is much speculation as to the
motive of the wreckers. Lawler was for
some time fireman on Engineer
william PrendergasIs engine, and
the latteT's father-in-law stated yes
terday that there is no bad feel
5ng between the wounded engineer
and Lawler, and he did not think there is
any hCAW0Nh tue NOuuucu HiAu Auu Tue
Prendergast under arrest. The two men,
Enough OF the same name, are not related.
MOTIVE OF THE wRECKERs.
Even il the men now under arrest are
She guilty ones it is not thought that they
were actuated by any feeling against the
trainmen of No. "a.
Last night Engineer PrendeTgast was
reported 20 be doing as well as could be
expected. He suffered a great deal Of
pain all day and slept little, but no APP
prehensiOn is felt concerning bis recovery.
Lawler and Prendergast are both quite
well known here and are respectfully con-
mected.
Train wrecking is made a felony by the
State, law ana il death ensues to any per-
son the statute says that the offender shall
BE guilty of murder and punished ac-
cordingly.

The Macon club played all around Sa-

to 3. 1t might have been worse de-
feat. There is no telling what the score
would have been had Macon begun bat
ting earlier in the game and the home
club had made few more errors. Up to
the filth inning the score was even. Each
club had made one run. In the first
OF the NTH inning Savannah
brought a man across the plate.
At this point Macon beganbattiug O'Day.
With the bases filled, the Savannah box
man gave batter his base on balls, fore
ing man home. The next man at the bat
landed fly into right field. Moriarity ran
tor it, but failed to get under it. Before
he could pick the ball up two men had
crossed the plate. The next man scored
on base nit, making fOur runs in one
inning. The visitors baDted heavily the
last of the game. O'Day was not as
effective as it was expected be would be,
and was hit freely after the first four inn
ings. The first and second base playing
