SHAKEN UP BY AN EARTHQRKE.
New York and Other Cities Alarmed by
the Shock.

A last (Sunday) night's New York duvet&
eays a few minutes after 2 thie afternoon
this city and the vicinity was startled by
an earthquake lasting ten second& The
aeneation caused by it was Fie unusual and
the shook ao all-pervading that a universal

'people was that their houses were about
Lo fall. They ran into the streets ter-
ror-stricken and with blanthed fames,
only to discover that all their neighbors
were rushing out amazed and panio.strielten
like themselves. As there were no evidences
of catastrophe, confidence returned, but
many people remained in front of their
houses for some time, dreadinga second
idiot*. None, however, came. The first
intimation of the earthquake was a low
rumbling sound, followed by a shock like
that of a violentexplosion, which canoed
the buildings to quiver. The rattling ocih-
timed about eight seconds. The effeot of
the jar was muck moreperceptible in
houses of light armature. In Many
inetanoes a clearly defined rocking move-
n:tent was felt, and (Lobes Were shaken
f,rem the shelves. No damage of any kind
has been reported. As far as ascertained
the shook was entirely imperceptible on
the water, &write tidal wave was observed
here.
At 2.16 o'olook a Lomond (look was felt at
Atlantio Highlands, N. J., but was lees vio-
lent than the first. The severest shook was
reported from Seabright, N. J., where the
depot was shifted to one side, shaking up
the contents and alarming the inmates. At
"Long Branch the jars of the batteries in
the telegraph office were overturned and
communication interrupted. In Brooklyn
the streets were elite with people who had
oome to ascertain the cause of the rocking.
A scientist upon the first peroeptible
motion took out a stop watob, and timed
the vibrations. He reported that tloe shook
began as nearly as could be determined at,
six and a hall minutes past 2; that the
Ent shook lasted ten eamids, and " quiet-
' Mg down" took nearly fifty seconds more.
At Trenton the shook was timed at 2.05
p. in., while at more southerly points it
was felt at 2.10. Reports from various
pointe indicate that the shook was felt from
Portland, Maine, to the City of Mexhio.
The Brooklyn bridge oscillated vieibly,
while the bridge rooked as if Etruok by .a
hurricane or an iron steamboat.

Coney Island was thoroughly shaken,

early reports indicate Philadelphia. was

land the shock was plainly but slightly felt.
In the telegraph office here the operatora
felt a serious movement of the floor (the
seventh story), but there were no elearical
phenomena connected with it, and no
„electrical disturbances.

quick sucoession, and lasting about half a

THE SUPPOSED ;0ANIRIBALIMO•
Alleged Confirmation of the Story That
a Comrade. Was Shot to Provide.
Fetid for the ',lying,
GENERAL HAZEN DECLINES TO TALK.
A New York despatch says: The shear-
ing story. told here yesterday (as given in
your des/At:thee), that the surviving mem-
bore of the Greely Arotio party ate their
dead,00narades, and that one of the Oozy-
ing men VMS /Aid and, afterwards eaten,le
denied by many of the members of the
relief expedition, while others refine to he
interviewed concerning it. The fact Moat
the remains were, at the suggestion of
Commander Sibley, placed ku metallic
oases at St. Johns, hermetically sealed,
and peremptory orilers given thot they
should not be opened under any condi-
done, is regarded as confirming the whole
story, as the exhibition of bones entirely
denuded of &ill, even to relatives, would
have led to izaciairies that the United States
Government tried to prevent and is anxious
to avoid.
General Hancock said this afternoon
that he knew nothing of the patty having
been compelled to resort ,to ,candiloaliero,
and had ,not heard even a suggestion of it
until last evening, when, in the course of
conversation with Commander Salley, that
offitter informed him that some reporter or
correspondent had asked him (Comnaander
Schley) what 'truth there was in the report
that the men of the Greely .party had
been reduced to canne.balism, and he
(Commander Schley) told the reporter that
the story was a sailor's yarn'and no trust
oould be placed in it. To General Ilan -
cook' surprise, it painfully detailed story
was published this morning, a story that
was cruel to the friends of the relatives
and Builders and dastardly towards
those who had been left behind. This
publication was the find; he had in any,
way learned of even the 'enepicion of suoh
au ending to the Greely expedition,•beyoud
the brief oonvereation held with Com -
mender Schley last 'evening, the few
remirke at that time commanding com-
paratively little attention. It is true that
the caskets were not opened on their arrival
here, but that was by the advice of the
medical director of the.United Stateearnay.
An officer of the Bear said the publica-
tion of the story about cannibals& was
dastardly. Be saw the bodies taken from
their resting place among the show and
ice. Starvation and scurvy had reduced
them from the weight of full-grown men to
that of children, but there were none of the
reigns of cannibalism which the pub-
lished story 'describes. In foot when •the
poor fellows died there was very .little
flesh left on their bonesforany one to eat.
They mere not fat missionaries'of which
ravages of old were said to be sefond. Of
theshooting of Private Henry he knew
nothing, but he felt certain the body of the
poor fellow- whioh wee buried recently in
tlypresa Hills Cemetery with military
honors, would be found without nintilationa
stioh'as would be inffieted by, theknife of
the cannibal, if an inspection should be
made.
Commander Schley distinotly-denied the
whole story."' He said "There is no
foundation for it whatever. A reporter
called on me with this story and would not

TOM Maloney, the seaman who helped
'lift the bodies out of the graves, .said the
bones had not been pioked, but the &eh
was all shrunk up, and the old& drawn over
the bones like parchment. James Francis
the maohinist, who helped to put the bodies
in alcohol; said they were perfect, excepting
that they were emaciated', and the skin
drawn tightly over the. bones. The only
imperfect body was that of Lieutenant
Kislingbury, the head of which appeared
badly decayed from the fact that he had
been dead longer than the others. Several

Norcroae, Ga., is greatly excited over a
miraculous faith.oure which has just taken
place here, the favored person being the,
wife of Ron. John A. Wimpey, one of the
most prominent republican politicians 0/
the State. For twenty years Mo. Wimpey
haft been an invalid. A great portion of
the time she hat1 been oonfined to her bed
and unable to walk it step. Even in her
better moments 'Means only able to walk
across the room eupported by others. Of
late years she has been confined to her bed
entirely, being unable to lift her halide.
She is an estimable woman and bore her
afflictions with rare fortitude, hardly
hoping that she would ever be well again.
She has lived in Dahlonega, Atlanta, and
for several years in Nororoes, and has tried
all remedies known to medical science for
relief, in vain. Neither change of atmos-
phere, the healing waters of mineral springs,
nor the learning and experience of pro,
tenors could bring any relief, and she was
regarded by all her acauaintances as Moor -
able. All the physicians in Atlanta had
given up her case as hopeless. During the
reoent,distriet meeting at Norcross there
was a remarkable revival in progress,
which still continues. After the regular
meeting was over, Mrs. Wimpy felt deep
intereet in the work, but was debarred the
privilege of an active participation in it by
her afflietions. Tuesday morning her bed was
rolled into the parlor; where the might bet-
ter hear the singing while the family all
repaired to climb. Left alone to her pri-
vate devotions, ' she suddenly felt her
strength returning, and, without doubt that
her prayers had o.t last been answered, she
got up and walked acme the room, filled
with rejoioing at her sudden cure. She
bentily,dressed for church, and, taiting,her
Bible in hand, hurried On to the house of
God where the cougregation was assembled.
Before ehe arrived at the door she was
recognized, and the news spread rapidly
through the congregation. The services were
euepended, and her husband and some of
her friends hurried to meet her, while
others sat still in blank astonishment On
she came, refteing all asentanoe to mount
the steps. She entered the ohuroh and
walked up to the altar, where she exhorted
the people with great power and eloquence.
Rev. W. A. Parks declared her cure to
an answer ,to her prayers from heaven.
The whole congrelotton joined in prayer.
Mrs. Wimpey walked back home unaided
and went about lt•ar household duties, de-
olaring that she felt' permanently cured.
