than in any other direction, the vibrations of the particles of the earth’s surface being transmitted under the sea at the rate of about one hundred miles an hour, occupying about seventy-two hours ia traveling a distance of 6,500 miles before reaching the western shores of the Atlantic, traveling as it did, almost due west. One of the first points on the shore line which it could reach was the coast of South Carolina, but we see that it was felt along the entire coast as far north as Boston, and spread across the continent with diminishing force as the various more solid and rocky portions of the surface crust retarded the vibrations, until it seems to have been almost entirely stopped by frictiou in the extreme Northwestern States. The reason vrhy the shocks were more violent in the vicinity of Charleston and Summerville is, there is more of a soft, yielding nature in the superficial upper strata which conducted the vibrations, and the forward movements of the earth waves, meeting with less resistance thau from the hard substances further in the interior, were more rapid and jerky, and 6book the surface with more violence. The presence of the innumerable fissures observable in the city and country as far as Summerville and beyond, is accounted for by this same soft material yielding rapidly to the pressure of the earth waves, which pushed up the thin crust and squeezed out, as it were, the water and sand subject to the pressure. The blue sand and the yellow sand thus ejected are found in the upper strata, and that it came from pear the surface is proven by the fact that no marl is found in it, and that it begins at from sixty-five to ninety feet below the surface, and extends to nearly eleven hundred feet deep. To show still more conclusively that the wave motions were confined to a very limited depth beneath the surface, it is only pecessary to state that none of the shallow, or four hundred feet artesian wells, are at all affected, nor is there any change noticeable in the quality of the water from the two deep artesian wells, as would have been the case if the cause of the earthquake bad been local or deepseated. “This statement of the communication of land waves to enormous distances is fully verified by the observations of previous earthquakes since and even before the Christian era. The absence of a tidal wave proves conclusively that the cause of the disturbance was confined to the land, and the jerky motion communicated to vessels, as reported by their officers, was caused by the vertical vibrations internlbdiate between the rapid forward transmission and the slower backward jerks. Observations at Sea. Washington, Sept 4. —The Hydrographic Office has received a letter from Capt. Leo Voegel, of the steamer City of Palatka, briefly describing the effects of the earthquake at sea. He had just left Charleston, and was about twelve miles off the harbor of Port Royal, in 81 fathoms, when he “experienced a terrible rumbling sensation,” which lasted one and one-half minute. There had been quite a heavy sea from the southeast, but when the rumbling began the wave motion ceased, and the waters remained a perfect calm until the rumbling came to an end, when the swell was again manifest, The wind was southeast and light; weather cloudy; baromster, 30.01; thermometer, 80 degrees. The sensation, Captain Yoegel says, resembled that of a ship scraping a pebbly bottom. The ship’s vibrations were very great. The Light house Board has received a report from Charleston, to the effect that the main tower of the Harris island light Is cracked near the third landing from the ground, and that the floor in the watch-room, upon which the lens Sests, is somewhat loosened. Cape Romain light and tower have been seen since the earthquake, and are supposed to be all right. The lens at the Bull’s bay light-house has been thrown off its pedestal. A curious effect of the earthquake has been discovered at the signal office. The self-reg istering wind-vane shows a horizontal mark preceding and subsequent to the shaking, denoting ft mild, steady, almost invariable breeze; but for the thirty or forty seconds of the most violent Shaking, the marks indicate that the pencil-point Wa moved up and down the paper many times, and with great rapidity. An explanation of this phenomenon is difficult to reach. This is the only instrument at the signal office which seems to have been affected by the earthquake. Some anxiety is felt with regard to the possible effect of the earthquake at the Bermudas. The islands lie directly in what is now supposed to have been the path of the most violent agitation, and their physical features are such as to warrant the fear that they may have experienced a severe disaster. - ... ■■■— THE FIRE RECORD. Burning of the Pullman Car Buildings at Jersey City—Lross, 8300,000. Jersey City, Sept. 4. — A disastrous fire broke ont at 5:10 this evening in the Pullman Palacecar Company’s shed in the New York, Lake Erie & Western railroad yard, at the Provoststreet crossing. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a barrel of kerosene. It spread in all directions with frightful rapidity, and in less than an hour had destroyed a large amount of property. There were eight Pullman sleeping-cars in the shed. Two of them were hauled out uninjured, and a third partially burned. The other five were totally destroyed. They were valued at about $16,000, each. By this time the car-shed was a mass of flames, which next enveloped the two-story brick building at the eastern end. This was used by the Pullman company for offices and storeroom purposes. It was destroyed. Two buildings at the westero end of the carshed were also wiped out. They were a twostory frame railroad telegraph office and a onestory brick tool-house. 22x25 feet. The latter Was supposed to be fire-proof, and was filled with costly railroad equipments, all of which were ruined. The flames next attacked the freight depot of the Northern railroad of New Jersey and the New Jersey & New York railroad. Both companies occupied a two-story frame building, with a long freight shed attached. These buildings, with thirteen freight cars and two empty oil cars, were burned. Six of the freight cars were loaded with ice. The other seven were loaded with miscellaneous freight, of which there was also a large assortment on the platform of the shed. The total loss can not, as yet, be definitely ascertained, but it is believed that it will amount to about $200,000, most of which is covered by insurance. Destructive Lniuber Fire. East Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 4.—The latest reports from the mill fire at Zilwaukee make it the most serious in the valley for years. Twenty acres of buildings aud lumber and shingles were entirely consumed, and huge piles of slabs are still burning. On the docks were piled 10,000,000 feet of lumber of different grades, and cf this only 1,000,000 remains. Two million shingles wore burned, and thousands of oords of slabs. One-quartor of the mill tramway, the docks, the saw aud shingle mills, three drill-houses, and dwelling-houses owned by the company were destroyed. The loss is as follows: On mills. $50,000; drill-houses. $15,000; shingles, $2,800; docks and tramways, $15,000; on lumber, about SIOB,OOO, and on bouses. SI,OOO. The insurance on lumber and shingles is $05,000, on mills, docks, etc., $40,000, divided among nearly thirty companies. A. T. Bliss, of the firm, is out of the city, being on his way from the Grand Army meeting in San Francisco, and nothing can be learned regarding rebuilding. Portion of a Foundry Burned. Pittsburg, Sept 4.—The bar and muck mills and sight-inch department at Zug ft Co.’s iron works were totally destroyed by fire this morning. The fire started in the oil-room, and spread so rapidly that, by the time the fire department arrived, the large Structure —350 feet long and 200 wide—was in il&mcs, and the firemen devoted their attention to the adj< >ining property. The loss will roach SOO,OOO, which is fully covered by insurance. Firemen William White and William McKelvey were thrown from a Ladfta and quite seriously hurt. A hose carriage ran over a boy named Williams and fatally injured him. The destruction of the mill will temporarily throw out O t emnloy went 250 men. Other Fires. New York.

Peoria, 111., Sept. 4.—The wholesale cracker factory and confectionery establishment of N. L. Griswold. and the wholesale grocery of S. O. Spring & Cos. were destroyed by fire to-night. The loss will be about $60,000 by fire and water. A CUURCH-BCIEDJNG PREACHER. A Personal Sketch of Rev. J. Albert Rondthaler, the Pastor of Tabernacle Church. A little more than two years ago nearly every one was predicting that the eongreation known as that of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church could not hold together six mouths longer. The flock, bewildered by eccentric shepherds, was in a condition to be stampeded by a very slight demonstration, and the scattered members were likely to be distributed among half a dozen or more different churches, never again to be reunited. At this very unfavorable juncture, Rev. J. A. Rondthaler was in some way induced to come here and look over the highly unpromising pasture. It is probable that he was shown only the most verdurous patches in it, his attention being carefully diverted from the waste and barren spots, for in no other way can his acceptance of the pastorship tendered him be accounted for. The flock, as he found it, contained 230 dismal, discontented members. Today there are more than 500 —hearty, robust, earnest and hopeful. Mr. Rondthaler is about forty-one years old, though he doesn’t look it, with his auburn complexion, with sidewbiskers and hair to match. He is of Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and there is a thoroughbred strain of theology in the family, his father, grandfather aud great grandfather having all been preachers. Mr. Rondthaler is a sort of theoloeic Mark Tapley. He came here from Hagerstown, Md., to have an opportunity to be jolly under unfortuitous circumstances, having declined a call to Wanamaker’s church, at Philadelphia, and also one to a large church at Baltimore. He desired, he said, to enter into a work that would be largely his own. and for ecclesiastical architecture of the character desired the Tabernacle Church filled his most exacting requirements, as it furnished little more than what had once been an excellent foundation, which, upon inspection, he found greatly out of repair. Mr. Rondthaler is a church-builder, and he determined the congregation ought to have a new temple to worship in. He had in his time built four churches, and the present beautiful tabernacle is the result of his fifth effort. Fie believes in the spirit of good fellowship, and he soon made the people of the Tabernacle Church —the leaven was in them before —the cheeriest and most social of Chrietians. He himself is always bubbling over with good nature, and it is of such a sort as to be absolutely infectious. He understands children better than most gentlemen of the cloth, as he has six of his own,, and when he visits the Newsboys’ Home or the Reform School at Plainfield, the boys are glad to see him. At the latter place, when he puts in an appearance, they fairly howl with delight. He has been summering at Maxinkuckee, where quite a number of his congregation sojourn during the heated term, and where they built him a cottage. Next summer they propose to build him a chapel at the lake in which to hold religious services. Mr. Rondthaler handles the oars with great skill, and is an expert swimmer. He has not had a day’s sickness for years, and his lakeside appetite is something to marvel at, his special vanities being deviled eggs and fried chicken, second joint He likes a good cigar, after a good dinner, pnd, as he reads the Sunday Journal, will see this sketch without his “attention having been called.” A short time ago he paid a visit to the Reform School, at Plainfield. A number of boys, when called upon in the chapel, cited Scripture verses. One of them quoted froni the tweuty-third Psalm, fifth verse, the words: “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.” “Now, my boy,” said Mr. Rondthaler, “how many persons are mentioned in that verse?” “Ourselves, God and our enemies,” was the boy’s answer. This rather surprised the clergyman, who had thought the answer wou'd be two. “Why do you say ‘Ourselves, God and our enemies?’ ” he continued. “Why not God, ourselves and our enemies?” “Because,’’ said the boy, “it’s a good thing to have God between us and our enemies." “My dear boy,” said the surprised and gratified preacher, “you have made anew and beautiful comment on that verse. That's a bright thought, deeper aud better than much of our theology.” LIKES THEIR MARKET SYSTEM. J. Seazer Smith Attends the Democratic Convention and Is Pleased with What He Sees. To de Editali ob de Junnel: My poo’ boy Julius is still at de ’sylum fo’ de insane.

WORLD OF DRAMA AND MUSIC Opening of the Regular Amusement Season in Indianapolis This Week. Changes Made in the Grand Opera-House— Opening Attraction—Personal Notes About Local Musicians and Stage People. A large force of painters, irescoers and decorators have been at work for two weeks at the Grand Opera-house, getting it in readiness for the opening of the season on next Thursday evening. The changes made add very materially to the beauty and convenience of the house. The entrance has been changed and redecorated, and the interior finished in a rich gilt cherry, relieved by wainscoting and the covering of the walls adjoining the boxes with quilted blue satin. All the woodwork has been repainted, and the auditorium, especially under gaslight, presents a very bright and striking appearance. Avery desirable change has been made in the seating arrangement on the lower floor. In all large cities the parauette, or orchestra, as it is variously called, is the fashionable and popular part of the bouse, as the location is undoubtedly the best. In the Grand, this year, the first eleven rows of sofa - chairs, nearest the stage will be known as the orchestra, the five new rows back of that, the orchestra-circle, and the six rear rows the dress-circle, the fashion and proscenium-boxes remaining unchanged. The regular prices of admission will be as follows: Box-seats and orchestra, $1; orchestracircle, 75 cents; dress and family-circle, 50 cents; gallery, 25 cents. Manager Dickson announces that only the better class of operatic, comedy and dramatic attractions will be played at the Grand this season, as he is done with cheap shows at his house. The opening attraction is a notable one, for it will introduce to Indianapolis theater goers a very popular and talented actor, Mr. Louis James, and an equally gifted actress, Miss Marie Wain wright. On Thursday evening and at the Saturday matinee they will appear in ‘ Much Ado About Nothing," a play in which they made a very remarkable hit in Chicago last week. On Friday eveniDgth e McCullough version of “Virgiuius” will be presented, with Mr. James in the title role, and Miss Wainwright as Virginia, and the engagement will conclude Saturday evening with a double bill—“ Merchant of Venice” and “Katharine and Petruchio." Mr. James starts ont very auspiciously on his starring tour, his opening engagement in Chicago having been very successful, and the critics of that city unite in praising him very highly. His Benedick in “Much Ado” is particularly well spoken of. Miss Wainwright is a charmine actress, a fact which Indianapolis theater-goers have long since recognized, and they have the support of a carefully selected company of experienced ladies and gentlemen. The advance sale of seats will begin at the box-office of the theater on Tuesday next. “mazeppa” at the museum. That sentimental romantic play of seemingly phenomenal popularity, “Mazeppa, or the Wild Horse of Tartary,” will be the attraction at the Museum all this week, as presented by Miss Jennie Lee and her company, aided and abetted by her white charger, Hercules, aud with new scenery and startling mechanical effects To avoid the rush at the night performances, ladies and children would do well to attend the matinees or to reserve their seats in advance. Musical People and Their Doings. John Geiger, of Wulschner’s, will take the part of Lord Dolphin in the “Little Tycoon.’’ The two daughters of Prof. Carl Barus are convaj lesing from a severe attack of diphtheria.

Miss Lee Timmons will accompany her brother on the harp at the Timmons benefit concert. She is said to be a very proficient performer. Mr. Edward Clarke has arranged some of the recent popular airs for band txse, all of which will be per formed this winter by the When Military Band. Mrs. J. J. Cole, the soprano, has made a marked improvement in the past few months, and will immediately commence a course of study for the operatic stage. Mr. T. Grant Slaughter, of Louisville, who sings today at Plymouth Church, is a prominent tenor of that glace, and has made an enviable reputation in the outh. Mrs. Maud Barnett, who assisted the When Band at the concert last Wednesday evening, is musical instructress at the Oxford Seminary, aud is a resident of Logap sport. The Matinee Musicals will begin the regular season’s work in a few days. The programme has been prepared very carefully and will include many studies of an interesting nature. The first regular rehearsal of the Lyra was held last Thursday evening, and was the occasion of much enjoyment on the part of those present. The full force of the membership was in attendance. In the coming benefit concert Edwin Timmons will be assisted by Miss Lottie Aufams. Miss J. May Miller. Mrs. W. C. Lynn, Mr3. Grace Levering, Mr-. S. L. Morrison, Mr. H. C.

Miss Hilda Thomas, of operatic fame, who was to have gone East this week to tesume her professional duties, has kindly consented to remain until next week, aud, by request, will sing “Magnetic,” the celebrated valse song by Arditi, at the promenade concert next Saturday evening. A serenading party composed of Messrs. John Geiger. Kirk. Smith. Stewart, Wallis. Bails, Kabb, Heitz and Gundelfinger. were out on Friday evening, much to the delight of their friends. Novel features were introduced in the shape of colored lights, and a combination card which was of a very unique aud pretty design. The popular comic opera “Little Tycoon," by Spenser, will be produced at an early date by the Home Opera Companv. The cast will probably include Mrs. Leon Bailey, Miss Nettie Johnson, and Messrs. S. L. Morrison. A. L. Willard, John Geiger and Charles B. Foster, all well-known local favorites. Mrs. Bailey will take the part of Violet.
