Water, Mud and Sand in Large Guam
titles Thrown i'm the Air.
Just after the first great shock on Tuesday
night there was a decided and distinct smell
of escaping sulphuric acid gas over the entire
village. The smell lasted throughout the
night, and was distinct in those localities
where the cavities were most numerous.

cases in the shape of inverted cones,

the water running into the depths from
which it had been raised. In many cases the
erupted matter had streamed away from the
breaks in the surface of the earth to dis

there were assures almost invariably extend

not wide, and extended downward always in

and was mixed with gravel, There was also
little shale, and in general the mud resem-
bled that which is thrown from the bottom,
of the phosphate pits along the river. The
water in some places had the TASTE of our ar-
tesian water, but in many instances is was
just as clear and limped as from mountain
spring.
These evidences of the great CONFUSION
are not sporadic; they extend far and near in
every direction, from the city limits Of
Charleston to Summerville, and at the latter
place it was found from trustworthy inforS
nation that the cracks and fissures are every
where visible for miles and miles around.
Strangely enough, some of these were in
active operation, and the constant shocks
that were felt at Summerville sent the water
cut of the fis,ures in jets to the height of
from Is to 90 feet.
This was evidently the result of the cracks
being filed with water and then the sides
opening and closing by each succeeding
shock.
In st. Andrews parish, IA miles on the
other side of the Ashley river bridge, the
country is cut up by small assures and mud
holes from an inch to two feet in diameter.
These holes have emitted blue mud and gray
sand in large quantities. The whole surface
Of this area is covered with little mounds.
The people living in the parish say that the
mud and water boiled up from to 10 feet in
height.
At the Williams farm, near the Three Mile
post, the surface of the ground was disturbed
by vent holes, which threw out during the
night seven kinds Of sand, varying in color
and shade

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
A Man Shoots His Wife and Kills

Constatter of Lancaster and other German

o'clock Prof Wagner'5 Saxon Military
Band, of Dresden, was discoursng its best

aroused from dancing and merrymaking by
three distinct pistol shots which rang out
upon the air.
The people rushed to the center Of the park
and there woman was found running
around half daz,d, blood streaming from
wounds in her he,d, and screaming an cry

body of Morris Saunders, young MN %

a m 'ulder by trads, and three years ago was

the 18th the weather was more
settled, but had been very bad. On arriving
at Barbados, on the 18Th, tire weather was
fair and pleasant. Every indication was
present, however, of there having been a
hurricane there. The island of st. Vincent
experienced severe cyclone, doing terrible
damage. A telegram from st. Vincent re.
ceived at Barbados stated that the latest
particulars from ths country districts re

that island on the 10th is estimated to hav
been from twenty to thirty miles wide al

whole of the southern portion of the island is
laid waste. Thousands of valuable tree are
destroyed, particularly the nutmeg and bread

AN ERUPTION OF GEYSERS.
Water Spurted from the Ground and
NUMEROUS Mounds Thrown Up.

Water Spurtcd from the Ground and
Numerous Mounds Thrown Up.
The country north and west of Charleston,
for twenty-five miles was deluged during
Tuesday night and a part Of Wednesday with
geysers. Some of these are reported to have
spouted to the height of fifteen feet, and at
Rontowle, on the Savannah g. Charleston
railroad, about twelve miles from here, one
or two of thirty feet are said to have been
seen. There is field north of the four-mie
house on the old highroad running north
from Charleston, where in compass of a
few acres the sand marks of doznn geysers
may be seen. The sand thrown up by
them lies upon the surface in the form
OF elliptical mounds, varying from six to
twelve inches in height and ten to sixty feet
in circumference. Each Of these mounds is
Of one prevailing color, and yellow, b.u e,
white and drab are to be seen in this fell,
The sand is very fine and the top crust, baked
10y three days sun, resounds like hardened CO.
ment when struck. The tops of the mounds
are dotted circular orifices ranged on straight
lines and varying from an inch to six inches
in diameter, and cane may be sunk to the
handle in any one of them. The outflow OF
water firm these orifices must have been
enormous, as the whole field was soggy
as il it had been fer days under water.
A few of these geysers are to be seen also
at some places in the streets of Charleston,
notably at the west end Of the South Battery
where there are several small ones. There
are great many also at Summerville,
where some of the yards around the dwell,
ings were found to be covered with water to
the depth of an inch or more, when the af-
frighted inhabitants rushed out of their houses
on Tuesday night. 1t has been said on the
authority of some badly frightened persons
that the water which spouted from the gey-
sers was hot, but the weight of evidence is
that it was cold. The sand that came up
along with the water is said by local geolo,
sists to belong to strata lying from ten to
fifteen feet below the surface. 1t is said that
in some instances small stones were thrown
up, II this be true the stones were probably
small pieces of mari or phosphate rock
which exists in great abundance from ten to
twenty feet below the surface,

Distributing Relief,

infantry company, who some thirty-hve
years ago took their lives in their. hands
and deliberately suspended their military
functions in the hope of provoking an
investigation that would help them to
oct rid of the preposterous tyranny OF
their commanding officer. He had har-
assed them for years in way that would
have secured his conviction before a
commission on lunacy, lut seeing no
other redress, the men agreed on strike

at a preconcerted signal, came to an

CAPTAINS counter orders. The shrieks
and blasphemies of the incensed martinez
failed to shake their apathy, but the
moment a superior officer appeared on
the scene they obeyed his commands
with cheerful pronptitude. Suspectlng
the motive of their conduct, the Ma or
ordered up four additional companies,
which then formed square around the
mutineers and marched them oil to
prison. The consequent investigat on
proved that the Captain was decidedly
more than half crazy; nevertheless, his
victims were sentenced to penal scrvltude
for periods varying from five to fifteen
