A Suspicious Smoke seen on Hilton Head
Light-what Is IT, a Volcano or ship
on FIre?-ProE Mendenhalrs Theory OF
of the Earthquake.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 9.-The keeper
at Tybee Lighthouse, at the mouth OF
the Savannah River, reports that be-
tween one and two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon an immense white column, at
first supposed TO be a water-Spout, was
noticed twenty miles out at sea, In
northeasteTly direction, or apparently
twenty miles due cast OF Hilton Head
light, at the mouth of Port Royal haroor.
Glasses were leveled on the mysterious
stranger, but 1t was so far distant, and
the atmosphere so haZy, that good view
was impossible. The fact that 1t stu
remained stationary at five O'Clock DIS
PEELED the water-spout theory, ana az
that, hour the lighthouse keeper siSnin-
cantly tclcphOned that the column had
assumed unmstakeable evidences OF be-
ing smoke OF light color, peculiar to that
from volcanoes. No disturbance OF the
sea is reported TO have preceded
the appearance. Of the column, but the
people of the island are convinced that
volcano has sprung up. The smoke Is
visible from the cupola Of the Morning
Ne,rs building in this city, and 1t Is felt
certain here that it is either of volcanic
origin or arises from n ship on fire at sea.
As it Is forty mile cruise from this city,
it is impossible to learn anything definite
concerning the mystery. The first shock
of earthquake felt in this city Tuesday
night undoubtedly came from north
eaStcrlv direction, aud this fact, coupled
with Prof Mendenhall's theory, indicates
that the hase Of the disturbance is at sea,
somewhere off the coast between this
CITY and Charleston.

A BRILLIANT OPENING.

rhe st. Louis Exposition Opens Its Doors
at the beginning ofIts Third season to a
Throng of Nearly Twenty Thousand Peo-
pie - All Former Displays Eclipsed In
the BeautY and Extent of Exhibits.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-The opening of
the third annual Exposition of st. Louis
last night was grand success. Never in
the history of the association have the
1ayes of the great structure been so
crowded with representatives OF the
highest circles of society, and the ex-
carnations, ooh, how loycly!" "Isn't
hat Just beautiful" etc., were heard on
every side.
Long before the opening hour the
pavement in front OF the great building
was thronged with ladies and gentlemen
waiting for the doors to open. No one,
not even exhibitors, were allowed to en-
ter, as a rush would have certainly been
made If the doors had been opened.
The employees engaged at the various
exhibits were admitted at the Thir-
teenth street entrance, so as not
10 retard any of the preparations still
going on, but all others were excluded.
At seven O'Clock the arcade on Olive
street was illuminated, and at precisely
eight O'Clock all the front doors were
opened and the rush began. For an hour
constant stream of humanity
passed through each of the three
entrances, and 1t is estimated
that nearly twenty thousand people were
present during the evening. The crowd
was critical one, who knew what had
appeared at the previous exhibitions, and
were competent to judge of the compara-
tive merits OF the present Oac. That the
Exposition Of 1856 is far in advance OF
the predecessors was the opinion of all,
and expressed without hesitation.
Such q decision, in view Of the fact
that the arrangements in many
cases were incomplete, is certainly en-
couraging, and is an assurance OF coGin-
ued success during the season. In few
days, at farthest, every exhibit viii he
completed, the electric lights working
perfectly and all the machinery running
smoothly Then, and not till then, can a
fair comparison be made with previous
efforts or the cXpositions OF other cities,
Few people imagine the enormous
amount of detail work necessary 10 be
done before great exposition can be
considered in perfect running order, and
the almost impOssIbllity of periec'
opening, but the opening last night was
nearer perfect than ever before.

What the Scientists Have Discovered.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Prof. Powell,
director of the Geological Survey. ex-
poets the members of the survey who
we're sent to Charleston to make observa-
tions of the earthquake TO return in few
days. From the preliminary reports
already received it is evident that some
very interesting and, probably, some very
important scientific facts have been dis
covered. Several hundred reports have
been received from persons in the center
of the earthquake region. From these
reports and the observations OF the gov
ernment scientists Director Powell con-
cludeS that the earthquake had its center
in North and South Carolina, to the
northeast of Charleston. The land area
of the earthquake was 100000 square
miles, one-third of the total area OF the
United States, and the maps which have
been prepared show thai the shock
traversed this distance in fifteen minutes.
The earthquake did not come from the
direction of Bermuda. Mr.. McGee will
bring with him some valuable specimens
of the soil and stones which were thrown
up through the assures. Director Powell
| says the scientists will agree as to the
main facts of the earthquake.

EAKsAs CITY, Mo-, Sept. 9.-In their

has fallen on the family in the
last few months. On the night OF the
Carlisle-Muntord shooting Miss Jennie
Streeter, one of the daughters,
who was sitting in the Car when
Carlisle commenced his indiscrimtnaie
bombardment, received bullet in the
breast. The wound was very painful
one, and she suffered long and acGtcly
from it. At the time the shooting oc-
cured the father was lying dangerously

wounded girl was taken home she insist
cd, with great Self-pOsSesSiOn, that th6
news of the accident be kept from her
fathers knowledge, fearing That ahY
shock might hasten his death. The he

claimed her parent. Miss Streeter recoy-
cred after her fathers death.
The family a week or two ago removed to
their old home at Junction City, Kan, 1t
was to another OF their daughters, Miss
Sallie Strecter, that the gifted WIFI
Walton was to be married. To-day had
been set for the wedding day. Instead
of being able to be there to claim his
bride, he was three days before brought
TO the fated house to die. The accident
by which Mr.. Walton lost his life, in the
wreck on the Santa Fe, happened only
about twenty miles from junction City,
and he was taken at once to the residence
of his afTianced where he died.

A Daring Daylight Robbery.

Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock,
the grocery store Of j. G.. lIord, on
Virginia street, was burglarizcd by
unknown parties; entrance was ef-
fected through the mfastened tram
som over the front door. The rear
door of the grocery was left open as
an avenue of escape in case of in
corruption. The cash drawer was pill
fered and $500 distracted therefrom.
Wholesale appropriation was made
Of the pocket knives, canned goods
and various other articles of mer-
chandise amounting in the aggregate
to about $500 in all.
The bold robbery was evidently
perpetrated by some experienced
cracksmcn. Numerous pedestrians
were passing in various directions in
the vicinity of the burglary, but none
discovered any unusual occurrence.
The shoe making establishment Of
Pat McManus, on 9th street, near the
depot, was also entered, the same
night and in similar manner. AT
ter taking a careful survey of the
shop, the thieves took fine $l2 pail
of boots and a pair of so shoes moth,
ing else was molested.
An attempt has been made by tn,
officers to ferret out the perpetrator
of these daring acts of criminality
but as yet no clue has been discovered
leading to their apprehension.
