TIE EARTHQUAKE.
A Slight Shock Felt in This City,
Yesterday Afternoon.
II Was Also Noticed in All the
Neighboring Towns--Much Alarm
Manifested in Some Quarters,
but No Damage Done, in This
Part Of the Country, at Least.

Yesterday afternoon at 2:01 O'Clock
distinct shock of earthquake was felt IN
the entire surrounding country, the
tremor lasting, according to the estl-
mates of various people, from five 10
ten seconds. The direction of the earth
wave does not appear to have Deen
noted by any one. The vibration was
very noticeable in some localities, beng
sufficient to sway pictures hanging up
ON the walls of residences, swing doors
and shutters, and one man VINO was
taking an after-dinner nap was AWAKEN
ed Al MounGsville st. ClairsYllle, ana
all surrounding points the siesmatlc dls-
turbance was noticed, and NUMBER
of telephone enquiries were received,
asking if there had been any damage.
II was the first shock publicly nouced
since about 1885. and produced good
deal of excitement in several localities.
In the Bimetallic Club, for instance,
a number of men were reading papers,
when the disturbance came. The build
ing appeared to rock violently, and the
entire crowd poured down into lhe
street. where they were given the
laugh by folks on the sidewalk VINO
had noticed nothing wrong. In the
Central telephone Office, and in numbers
of tall buildings the swaying motion
was very marked. and in many cases
people ran out of their houses.
Our Geographic dispatches show
that the disturbance was widespread.
A telephone message from Governor
Atkinson. at Charleston, received by
the Register about five o'clock yesjer-
day afternoon, stated that the shock
was particularly severe there, and that
in one house the plastering was shaken
off. In fve-story building on Capitol
street the vibration was felt so severely
that all the inmates poured out INTO
the street in alarm.

Yesterday morning the news was
generally circulated over the South SIDE
that p. J. Altmyer, who has been lying

ton heard a confirmation of the report
and tolled the bell again. Mr.. Altmyer
was. however. living, although expected
to expire at any moment. The family
and physician supposed him TO be dead
as all signs of life had apparently He'd.
He rallied somewhat later, and ut last
information was still living. mere

eral manifestation of anxiety As there
has been displayed for several lays past
regarding Mr.. Altmyer's condition.

The great lines band will arrive

with a wonderful mechanical effect. In
a piece that refers TO war and valor,
the sounds of horses gathering hoofs
and the rattle of the knights armor
are heard. Then. there is the thunder
making machine and there is the
musical genius or man of all work, VINO
plays the kettle drums, whistles ike
lark or sings like a multitude OF birds,
and a hundred and one other features
TO illustrate the composers thought
as plainly as if it were photographed.
Innes also brings some great soloists
with him who will vary the programme.
Among them are Nine. Rose Linde,
lately associated with Nordlca. and
Miss Bertha Webb, Bostons charming
and skillful violiniste. The pro-
grammes are delightfully."- varied, and
were published in full in the Sunday
Register. The prices are only % cents
for the matinee and 80 cents for the
evening. with no extra charge for re-
served seats. which can be procured at
Houses. Special motors leave at 200,
100 and s o'clock. running into the
grounds. The weather promises to be
all that can be desired and the capacity
of the Casino should be tested.
