The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1895-11-01

The inhabitants of this section
were suddenly aroused and many
Of them startled by an earthquake
about sic o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The first indication Of the
convulsion was a rattling sound in
the air and a slight tremor; this
gradually became more perceptible
and was quickly followed by three
distinct and rather violent shocks.
Windows, doors and dishes ratified,
and for two minutes or more some
alarm was felt, and from reports
many thought the final day had
come. The rush and noise of the
air aud the trembling sensation led
many to believe at first that cy-
clone was raging. The vibrations
were from east to west, and ended
in rocking or heaving of the earth.
While we did not time it, the du-
ration of this subterraneous action
was longer and more violent than
at any time within the memory of
our oldest citizens, lasting perhaps
two minutes, The prediction pre-
walls here that there has been more
violent action perhaps somewhere
on the Atlantic seaboard, and anx-
iety is felt lest there be some loss
of life.

Serg,l HumphreN,s Case.

T. Humphrey, Co. A. LIST Ky. Cav, has Just
received a notice from the Pension Depart
ment that his application for pension under
act of June 81, 1890. has been rejected on the
grounds that his disease does not show dis
ability for manual labor in any degree what
ever This action of the Department has
caused indignation among his comrades and
Just minded fellow-citizens. His condition,
which can be substaDtiated by the best OF
medical and other proof, is as follows: For
several years he has been considerably alllng,
but. as gallant in peace as he was in war; he
bravelv stood in the ranks battling for bread
until about a year ago, when he was COM
pletely Frustrated His condition was so
critical that four of the best physicians Access
sible were called in consultation on his case.
One OF these was the widely-Rn0wn DIR.
Hawkins Brown, Vice-President OF the United
States Medical Association. He pronounced
Humphreys afTiiction TO be an acute case OF
BIight's disease, which was cencurred in by
the other members Of the profession, with
some slight variations of opinion in regard TO
other complications. He was informed shat
his chances were bad for recovery, and given
to understand that il WAS necessary to make
any needed preparation for fatal termina-
ton soon. 1t was decided at first that he
could not possibly survive beyond 10 days.
He lay in this critical condition about two
months. when he slowly improved some, but
was forbidden TO leave his room during the
whole Winter and part of the Spring months.
He was at last persuaded by his friends to APP
ply for pension, and owing to his condition
his case was made special. Unable to attend
the Medical Board meeting at Stanford, %
miles distant, DR.. Steele Bailey, Of that board,
was ordered by the Department TO attend his
home in Liberty to examine him. DR. Bailey
pronounced Serg't Humphrey totally disabled
to do anything and advised him TO he cautious
about stirring about; that his most serious
trouble was with his heart. al acquainted
with Serg't Humphrey know that if there is
anyone in the United States totally disabled
for manual labor that heis the one in that fix.
Serg't Humphrey is a well-Lnown man of
character, and there can be no charge of his
being a fraud coffee-cooler. or shirk brought
against him. He served over three years
was always at his post. and on two or more
occasions led forlon hopes on dangerous
charges. There were three intensely loyal

them, Lieut. Jas. Humphrey, gave his life in
