SCENES AT
SHAMAkA
ACCOUNT OF TRANS
CAUCASIAN HoRROW-TAoU.
SANDS KILLED.

st. Petersburg, Saturday, March
1.-Correspodence giving the details
of the Shamaka (Trans-C Caucasia)
earthquake have just arrived here.
Nine earthquakes have been record
ed at that pace since 1896. The city
lately contained $4,000 inhabitants.
An eye witness thus relates his ex-
perience on the first day of the dis
aster:
There were two distinct shocks. at
8 and II a. m, respectively, but the
people, accustomed to rumblings of
the earth, paid no heed. Instead OF
fleeing Tor their lives the Monhamme-
dan women and children proceeded to
their obligatory daily ablutions. At
1880 p. m. the earth bulged up sud
denly and subsidized again. People were
thrown headlong in the streets. and
when they arose were thrown down
again. Asphyxiating vapors exuded
from the assured earth and filled the
air
THE schemes that followed will nev-
er be adequately described Men
abandoned their families. There was
a chaoas of fearful cries The tele-
graph Office went down with every
thing else in the sticken portion of the
city. Hence the delay in transmitting
the news.
The rescue work was a heartrend-
ing affair Forty or more persons
were disinterred alive. Mothers were
brought out dead with lifeless in
fants clasped in their arms.
"On the first day father saw his
young laughter still alive, beneath a
mass of debris. He released her. lock.
ed his arms about her and started
away. A second shock buried father
and daughter beneath a falling wall.
"Therc are nearly 10000 persons
shelterless, without sufficient food.
without hope"

The BODY
is FOUND
ALLEN MATHEWS, WHO WENT
DOWN IN WRECK, STUCK TO
HIS POST.

Griffin, March 15.-The body of
Allan Mathews, engineer on the ill
fated train that was wrecked at Shoal
or Couch's creek, on the night of Feb.
%, was rescued today at IL o'clock,
and the engine was about half hoisted
at that time.
1t was found from his position that
he was at the throttle when the dis
aster came and had never left his
post.
The body came up as the engine
was turned from the right side, upon
which it reste0, and at once foated
to the top, 1t was then carried to a
car that was being used as temporary
headquarters and placed in the hands
of undertakers from Columbus, who
prepared the body for shipment to
that city this afternoon.
kilograms were at once sent to rel
atiyes at Thomaston and other
places. stating that the body had been
a. last recovered, and the officials of
the road We're notified.
The body was hid from the sight of
the curious by sheets that the under
takers had thrown over him as he
was borne on a stretcher to the bier
that had been prepared on box car
to receive him The coffin and ap-
purtenances had been on the ground
for several days awaiting this end OF
the search. The body is not as badly
decomposed as it was conjectured to
be, and it is probable that il will not
look unnatural when prepared for
burial.
The papers and other effects on the
dead engineer were taken charge OF
and will be delivered to the proper
persons. Among the most distressed
at the wreck has been the son of Mr..
Mathews, who has been at the scene
since few days afterward, and his
sorrowing patience has affected all
who have been almost in daily attend
ance. cousin, too, from Thomas
ton has received much sympathy in
this sad struggle
The trains are now going over the
trestle that has been built and 1t is
probable that the engine will be in a
psition to~be removed by the early
part Of next week
The funeral OF Engineer Mathews
will be arranged when his body is car
ried to Columbus. The question of
the propriety of holding coroner's in
quest viii have to be settled before
the body can be buried.

New Monument in Hanover Park

The Brunswick small boy has
pronounced Hanover park ghost

the vicinity with a persistency that
is ludicrous. The newly erected con

canvas covered height is an object
which suggests all manner of wierd.
uncanny things to these youngsters.

ripping the canvas, which makes it

Another most bewtching confection

play OF millinery goods will be on
exhibition at Miss Kate Slater's mil
linery parlors on Gloucester street.
Easter coming so early and such a
large number of hats being ordered
the opening is being held earlier this
year than generally. Some of the
specialties which attracted the eye of
the reporter who was given a glimpse
behind the scenes are as follows:
One. A large picture hat of daring
breadth, an airy creation of white
liberty chiffon, picked out with black
chiffon and velvet, the whole sur
mounted by a long graceful slack os-
trich feather A cluster of black and
are suitable for general wear, while
being more feminine and graceful
than the ready-to-wears of former sea
sons.
Pearl carbashans form an attractive
feature in the trimming of some OF
the picture hats, as do the quantities
Of lace used in their construction.
The children's hats are another
speciality, one artistic little poke be-
ing literally covered with blue bache-
lor-buttOns.
Miss Slater's stock has been care
fully selected to suit the tastes of her
many customers, and she and her ef-
ficient corps of assistants have exhib-
tied experience and perfect judg-
ment in the matter o. combining
beauty of effect with becomingness TO
individual styles.

EXTENSION REFUSED.
Georgia Railroad Commission and
the Lumber Exporters.

Atlanta, March 15.-The Georgia
railroad commission was IN session
to day. All the members Of the board
were present. The commission de-
cided the case brought by Wiley and
Gabbett, and other lumber exporters
of Savannah against the railroads, in
the matter Of unloading lumber from
cars at the wharves, in favor of the
roads. The exporters are allowed five
lays after the arrival Of cars to un-
load them. Some years ago the roads
gave the consignees forty-eight hours
in which to do this work. Later at
the request Of the exporters this time
limit was extended to ten days. A few
months ago the roads cut this number
OF days down to five, for the reason
that the demand for cars by shippers
was so urgent that the roads could not
see their way to meet the situation
unless they could get ..eir cars un-
loaded more promptly. This reduc-
tion in the number of days caused the
exporters to appeal to the commits
sion. The appeal has been heard anu
the request for an extension of the
time beyond the five days has been re-
fused. The law allows exporters three
days in which to unload their lumber,
and the roads are giving them five, or
two days more than they are required
under tue rules of the commission.

The purchase Of the Offerman C

the officers of the b. & b. ever since
the organization OF the road, and the
consummation OF the trade will be
very gratifying to the citizens of
Brunswick. The business men OF
Brunswick are deeply concerned about
the handling Of freight in the Bruus-
wick yards ans it Is to be hoped that
the officials OF the Plant System and
Southern will promptly decide to en-
ter INTO an arrangement for the
switching OF p. & B. freight. Such an
arrangement would certaily result not
only as a benefit to the city and the
b. & b. nut also to the other lines.
Brunswick cannot have great com
mercial progress without more rail
road facilities, and, with these. her
growth would be rapid and the other
railroads would share the benefit or
this development.
The granting of the A street fran
chise by council last night means that
the B. & B. will at once begin the
erection of passenger depot on the
lot north of the Oglethorpe hotel. The
track will be laid at once from the
present track on Bay street along the
extension on Y, and Q streets to
point of connection with the present
track on Cochran avenue. This win
shorten all the schedules and be N
many ways beneficial to the city.

There is an opinion in free coun-
tries that parties are useful checks
upon the administration of the gov
eminent and serve to keep alive the
spirit 'of liberty. This, within GER
tain bounds, probably is true, and in
governments of a monarchial cast
patriotism may look with Indulgence,
if not with favor, upon the spirit of
party. But in those of popular char
acter-in governments purely elect
ive-it is a spirit not to be encour-
aged. From their natural tendency
it is certain there will always be
enough of this spirit for every salu-
tary purpose. And there being con-

ought to be by force of public opin-
ion to mitigate and assuage IT.

Beauty = Ii Japanese.

A Japanese belle is smaller than
her European sister, but even in
western eyes she is distinctly pretty
as long as her youth lasts. As rule
the Japanese have very sallow COM
plexions, but these are hidden with
paint and powder. Indeed, so well
are they hidden that on the neck Of
o japanese woman is a hard line
showing where art ends and nature
begins. Beauty, according to the
japanese standard, consists of a
long, oval face, regular features with
almond-shaped eyes, slightly sloping
upward, high, narrow forehead and
an abundance of straight black hair.
