Cuio.Voo , August 31. Erratic notions on
the part of the baiometor In the signal office

charge to pause in a middle of an observa
tion. His hands , he noticed , Humbled
violently mid tor a moment lie thought him-
sell ill. The locking of a largo chair in the
middle of the room and the rattling of bottle :
on the shelf quickly brought him to the real
isation tnat a qnako or the earth was in pro-
Kiess. The lirst wave began at exactly 0:01 :
and lasted six or seven seconds. Its motions
weio from west to cast and tlieio were about
three or lourvibi.itlont , to a second. Tin
barometer went up MOO of an Inch in MOII
minutes. Soon alter the shock II marked
80.17 and continued to lise iiuildly. Tin
effects ot tlie shock weu not geneiallj
noticed in Chicago except In the uppi'i
stories ot tall buildings. Persons who Imp
pened to beeonveising by telephone ut tin
time , suddenly lound themselves ' 'put oil , '
and lei a time the tioiible was heaped un
sparingly upon the central ofllce.

Major Powell , of the geological survey says
that there is a line of weakness In the citM
of thu eaith beginning somewhere boutli of
Haleigli , N. C. , and extending In a line
along the lido water past Hichmond ,
Washington , Bailimoiu and Troy , N. i" ;
that this line ol weakness is
matked by displacement , in some places
this displacement is a feature In tlio locks ,
and in the neiuhboihood of this displicc-
mentis lound the ; principal wateilalls which
constitute the wateis of tlie Atlantic slope.
"It will bo inteiestlng , " he adds , "to discover
the legations of the nolnts ot origin ot thic
earthquake to tills Hue ot displacement of

clpally of ladies.but they wro less frightened
than the galleries and very few
lelt their seats. The performers went
on with their piece and quiet was soon
lestorcd. No one was injnied. People in

knowledco they had of the occunonco was
obtained fiom the sight ol the f lightened In-

Niw YOIIK , August 31. The point from
which the railroad leadlnsr Into Charleston IE

miles distant tiom the city. It Is probable
that a pait of the track under watei lias ocen
covered by a heavy rise in thorl\er. Telegrams
from cities In South Carolina anil Gorgla

ilble calamity has happened theic.

to the Hr.i : . ] A dispatch was receded at tlio
city hall this afternoon from the mayor of
BeilePhilne , la. , vvhleh discloses a terrible
state of nVfalis In that location. Fioin the
accounts clvun It appears that an artesian
well four Inches In diameter , burst when a
depth of IbO foot had been reached In boring ,
nml Instantly a volume ot water was forced
In the air ton distance ot seveial hundred
feet. This Kiadually Increased In sl/o and
volume until a stream of water fully sixteen
Indies In diameter was formed and the up
ward force of this stream is equal to the
power of powder or dynamite. The water In
large volumes is spouting high In the air and
the supply seems Inexhaustible. Two glgan-
llcih eis have been lormed by this phenom
enal water burst , which are running through
the town at tlio rate of twelve miles an hour ,
and are caiiyingcrythlng ! before them.
House and Ihes are threatened by this pe
culiar freak of iiatinc , and the citizens
ol Iho lown aio appalled at their Im
pending danger , which at picsent
they me powerless to overcome. Finding
it impossible to divert tills damaging Hood ,
an attempt was made to Insert sixteen inch
