At 9 55 to night very decided vibrations of the earth were felt in Washington and in a few minutes advices began to arrive that the disturbance covered almost the entire couutry.- As yet no reports have been -received north of New York or wost of Chicago, but all the country aouth and west of these points was Effected Two shocks occurred. The sceond shock was of long duration' and more severe than the first, and a few seconds later. It was felt in all parts of the city and created considerable con sternation. Several meetings in pro gress 'in various parts of the eity were broken up by the frightened members, thinking the buildings were falling, ruhing from the halls into the street. At Alhaugh's opera house a large au dience became frightened by the shak ing of the building and a stampede ensued. Occupants of the galleries. mainly gentlemen, jumped to their feet as soon as the shaking began and rushed pell meltdown the stairs, falling over eaqh other in their efforts to escape from the building,' and stopped for nothing until they reached the street. The au dience in the lower part of the house was composed principally of ladies, but was lessi frightened than those in the falleris -and very few left their seats, he performers went on with their piccaa-and quiet was soon restored. No one was injured. The people on the street dil not feel the shock, and the first knowledge they had of the occur rence wa obtained from the sight of the rightengd inmates of houses rushing from them into the streets. The West ern union operator at isowie, Md., about twenty miles from Washington, telegraphed that the earthquake cracked the walls of his station and stopped. the dock.

Cor. ol Thx Niwsakp Obsibvkb. WlLSOX COUNTY, N. C. I glean from the current reports; ("newspaper and otherwise) that the democrats will have, on account of the: hopeless and irreconcilable division id the republican party, it having two can! didates, both being representative men who will in all probability divide iti vote about equally, a reasonable pros- peot this year of electing a Congress man from the second Congressional district; therefore it not only behooves but it is the imperative duty of the democratic party to look around in its ranks for the man who combines in him self character, honesty, intelligence. and in fact all the elements of strength necessary to secure his election. Such a man has not only a reasonable chance of success as aforesaiu, but I proffer the opinion could and Would be elects - And in view of these things I would suggest to the careful consider ation of tbeapproaching Congressional convention," without his knowledge or consent the name of that courteous and most excellent gentleman, Elias Carr, a man of large and abundant means, a practical farmer of Edgecombe county, and one of the most successful she has ever known, a gentleman of fine literary taste and culture, a man in whom every one who knows him has the moBt implicit confidence, and for him and his opinion unbounded respect, and Who intellectually, morally, socially and in capacity for business is the peer of any man in the district, and in fact a' gentleman of the old school, a typical North Carolinian, and if nominated and elected his influence would be as potent for good as any man that could possibly be sent, not only from this district, but from the State, and would in truth come up to the full measure of an ideal representative, and one in whom we all could and would take a just pride and feel that we were honoring ourselves more than him in having such a repre sentative in the legislative halls of our common oo un try. H. A Ksmsrksbls Rascal. Atlanta Constitution. ' , One of the oonvicts at work on the Murphy division of the Western N. 0. R. R. has a history that beats any-: thing to be found m a dime novel; Nearly forty years ago this oonviot was the most elegnt gentleman in western North Carolina. He belonged to a good family, and was well educated and refiaed. One day he suddenly left his neighborhood, and went to Raleigh There he read law under the Hon; James M Morehead, was admitted to the bar and soon gave promise of dis tinguishing himself in his profession". He married a young lady of considera ble fortune, but it was soon discovered that he had left another wife at his old home. He was convicted of bigamy and sent to the penitentiary, where he served out his term. The. war coming on, he entered the Confederate army arid fought with desperation and valor. After the war he went north, and in the character of a persecuted southern union man. swindled general Grant, Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Bctuher and other prominent republicans out 1 of 020,000." Then he returned south a'iid said the northern people had persecuted him and driven him from plaoe to place because he had served in the Confeder ate army. This excited the sympathy of general Toombs, Alexander H. Stephens and others, and they gave lib erally to the poor fellow. The other day a newspaper correspondent , had this phenomenal swindler pointed out to him. Hi saw a brokeu-dowa old man of sixty five working with a gang of convicts. He is serving a fifteen years' term for forgery and will doubtless wear the stripes until he dies Suoh is the bare outlino of a life-history con taining abundant material for a sensa tional romance. . .

Prince Alex ander's journey here from Sistova wa a scries of ovations. The people, headed by the priests, flocked to differ ent points on the route of the proces sion and greeted the prinoe with joyous shouts of wclc me. A large crowd left Tierno va to meet the prince at a point five miles distant and escorted 1 m into the town amid the greatest enthusiasm.

Nothing final had been de cided with regard to Bulgaria in his recent interview with the Ger man chancellor, as it was not known then that - Prinoe Alexander would return to Sofia M de Giers said he did not know what the Czar's present intentions were, but he was sure Russia would not occupy Hu'garia while that country was tranquil. Russia's position would be very delicate and critical should Prince Alexander insist upon the xecution of the men who led the conspiracy against him. M. de Giers spoke in condemnation of Prince Alex ander s course and, alluding to Eng land's action in the premises, said she used everything that came within her reach as an instrument sguinst Russia. Buiiktjisc Wilba Jury. At Lenoir court last week J. L. Stroud, quite a wealthy man, was , in dicted for inducing one of his neigh bors to steal some hogs. He was coa- vioted and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The jury was out all night and considerable interest was felt in the case.. After the verdict was ren dered the next morning in court, the officer of the jury reported that during the night, between 12 and 1 o'clock Chas. H. Brown, one of the defendant's lawyers, had come to the jury room and asked to see the jury, that ho might give them instructions about the ease.' The officer stated that he had re pulped him, when after some further parleying Brown, who was entirely sober, left. This being brought to the attention of the court a rule for con tempt was seived on Brown, who ad mitted going to the jury room, but de nied that it was with any view of in structing the jury about the case. The officer was corroborated by two of the jury who heard the conversation and the rest of the jury said the officer had mentioned it to them. The contempt proceedings were dismissed but the grand jury found a bill against Brown for embraoery, i. e , attempting to tam per with the jury. The case was tried Monday, judge Geprge V. 8trong and Col. John Wooten appearing for de fendant The j'ir found him guilty. Judge Clatk, presiding, sentenced him to six months in jail and to pay fin 3 of $100. Chas. H. Brown is a native of Jones county and is about thirty-five years of age. He was a clerk in the secretary of State's office in Raleigh some years ago under the republitan administration. Iu passing sentence his honor said that he deprecated the painful duty de volved upon him; th.it the defendant had not been found guilty on the eon tempt proceedings, as might have been done, but had had his trial before twelve of his countrymen; that no greater duty devolved upon a judge than to keep the a mi lustration of jus tioe pure and abov suspicion; that if the defendant had been an ignorant and unlettered man and had unwittingly done : this thing it might have passed possibly with a reprimand and a light punishment, Dut as it has been done by a lawyer, an offioer jaf the court. wh had sinned with all the lights before him, the law must take its course.

Today the season of the of 1886-87 begins. The receipts here for the year ending yester day were 29.781 bales, of which of course the bulk oame from Wake county It i estimated by Mr. AIL A. Thomp son, secretary of the Raleigh cotton ex change, that this county produced dur ing the season just ended about 301,000 bales There is a most remarkable con tract, however, between this date; and the -corresponding one in 1885. The great drought last year was soorching all this State and in this section j was terrible, blighting crops which up to the 10th of August were never more prom ising. This year, happily, all is changed. The season is now fine, there . has; been no drought, and despite the rains of the early summer the remarkably favorable weather of the paet six weeks had tho happiest effects. On all stiff land the crop is particularly fine, while in sandy land it is of course not SO good. In some sections of the county the ex cellence of the crop is notable. Maj. John M. Crenshaw, one of the best formers, says that in the Wake Forest section it is as fine as can be. The peo ple: are; hopeful they are looking up Mr Thompson expects the receipts the present season to exceed those of the one just ended, and this appears to be the general view. The receipts the last seafcon are more than was expected by Mr, Thompson, who thought about 26, 000 bales would be the limit. Ralejgh bts peculiar advantages as ; a mark( t for . cotton. Some of I these are widely known. The cotton marketed here is as a tule care fully picked and ginned and isinBpecial demand all the spring and summer by North Carolina factories. A very high compliment is thus paid this market a a fj 1 .Large orders by these home mills are constantly made, to be filled here.J and by this means prices are kept up to a figure remarkably near JNewIiork quo tations, it is a cause ior priae mat tne Raleigh market should be such a fine one, and does credit to the eareruiness of the farmers and ginuers of this sec tion, who have done so much to bring it about. It is a faet that Raleigh Ipajs the highest prices in the State.
