slghter shocks, and then third. The
vibrations were felt III all portions Of
the city. but from n. accounts. most
severely In the Northern ana Western
sections. Persons living in those loca-

as more distinct than those OF the we'll

also say that the first shock was nc

Panic at Penitentiary.
The greatest excitement was at tie

threw eight hundred to a thousand pris-

came as frantic as Wild beasts in q panic

BAPTISTS' INVITATION.
Adopt Resolution Which Will Be
Presented at Convention.

Tho Baptist Ministers Conference
having decided to invite the Southern
Baptist Convention.to Richmond for the
year 1907. they have drawn up the fol-
lowing resolutions and will forward them
10 the convention at Chattanooga:
10 the Brethren OF the Southern Bap-
list Convention:
The undersigned have been appointed
by the Baptist Pastors Conference Of
Richmond to extend an invitation TO tho
Southern Baptist Convention to meet in
this city in 1907. Our desire TO have
the convention meet with us next year
was announced two years ago and we
shall present to the convention ut Chatta-
nooga Il hearty, earnest. urgent invita-
ton In the name of the Baptist host Of
this great Baptist community.
Apart from selfish ions, our
conviction Is that this is tho most suit
able place for the meeting next year
That will he tho year of tho jamestown
Exposition, so full of historical inter-
est. to the whole country, and especially
the South. which many brethren from
all parts of the convention territory will
certainly wish to visit; and Richmond
Is within short distance OF the scene
OF that great celebration, but Is far
enough away for tho sessions of tho
convention to be held without tho dis
turbancc and distraction which closer
proximity would involve. We are pre-
pared to provide suitable accommodate Ions
for the gathering. Tho convention has
not met In this city since 1885, and for
that reason alone 1t seems TO use that
flcllmond's invitation Is entitled to con-
sideration. IF the convention accepts our
Invitation, We believe that tho session
Of 1907 will he memorable for its In
terest and pleasure.
