HIS MIND WANDERED
And leweler Spear Drew a Knife Across His
 Stomach,

Columbus, Ga, Sept. 2.-Shortly be- fore daybreak Sunday morning MT. T. S. Spear of this city was found in his room in the cottage of his son-in-law at Warm Springs, fifty miles from Columbus, one of the noted watering resorts of Georgia, in great pain. His grooming had awak- ened one of the inmates, who, on entering his room, found him bleeding profusely from terrible gash across the stomach, which he had inflicted while temporarily aberrated with common pocket knife.
 No reason is known or assigned for the act, which is a terrible surprise to his family and many friends. Physicians were at once summoned from the city and went up on the morning train. He fingered until 10 o'clock today, when death ensued.
 MT. Spear was 70 years of age. He was born in New Jersey, from which place he removed to Columbus in 1850 He was one of the oldest and most re- spected citizens of this city, and had been in the jewelry business for nearly forty years He was a man of imposing ap- pearance, and a prominent member of the Presbyterian church. He leaves sev- eral children-Charles Spear, formerly of Montgomery, Ala, who is in New York; two married daughters in this city and Horace Spear of Charleston, $. C., and Mrs. J. D. Mason of Atlanta. His remains will be brought to Columbus on the early train in the morning, and in torment will take place in the Linwood cemetery

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Considerable Surprise That It Was Not
 Felt in Washington.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Considerable surprise is expressed here that no de- velopments in regard to the recent earth quake oscillations so plainly perceived in other localities, have yet been announced from any of the scientific bureaus in Washington.
 Nine years ago, almost to a day, the great Charleston s. C., earthquake oc- cured. A distinguished scientist of the Smithsonian institute delivered an ad- dress in which he demonstrated that there was a volcanic belt extending across the United States, of which Washington city was the very center. Elaborate precautions, it is understood, were thereafter taken at the naval ob- servatory and other points to register any future seismic disturbances, but without result. It is said, however that when the photographic plate of the Washington monument, understood to have been automatical at the naval ob- servatory yesterday morning. is deVel- oped tomorrow, some indications as to whether that great column, $50 feet high, departed from the line of perpendicular during the period of the earthquake shock may be apparent.

Physicians in attendance are insufficient in numbers besides being in many cases incompetent It is also asserted by the correspondent that almost all of the men who are still able to continue in the ranks are suffer- ing severely from swollen feet.
