The Earthquake in Other Plaoee. Columbia, Aug. 31.?The reporters of the Regtttar wero in attendance on a publio meeting at the Court House, which was filled with the Democracy of the city. Several speakers had addressed the audienoe, and Mr. Don. Abnoy was on the stand in the midst of an impassioned speech, when a rumbling sound was heard, which was mistaken by some as the beginning of applauso near the front door of tho court room, and others conohtdcd that it was the premonition of a cyolone. All doubt was quickly dispelled, however, for in lees time than it takes to tell it tbo massive building began to sway and tremble, and a scene of wild terror ensued, which beggars description. Every one quiokly realized that it w:is an earthquake shock, and as no oue had ever experienced one i of such duration and severity, a panic seized the wholo assembly. Men, women and children were huddled together in groups on tho sidewalks, tremblingly telling their experience, or listening with scarcely suppressed anxiety to tho recital and in mortal dread of the recurrence. These fears proveol not groundless, for a short time after the first shock the ominous sound was caught by the quick car, and immediately another shock of n minute's duration spread fresh consternation and caused a general rush. The effect of tho earthquake was visible over the wholo city. Dottles in the drug stores and saloons fell from the shelves by hundreds. The prescription counter at Dr. W. C. Fisher's drug store was wrecked, and bottles wero thrown from the shelves throughout tho store. The doors of the building swung open. Augusta, August 31.?A severe shock of earthsaeasaUsa Mi I?
