There are many minor casualties in addi
tion to damages previously reported. The
South Carolina railroad offices "on John
street arc cracked but stand. The Wm.
Bird company's wholesale paint store was
shaken down"; W. E. Holmes & Co., next
door are in similar condition. Part of the
walls of the bagging factory were destroy
ed. The principal streets are littered with
bricks and rubbish. The city hall escaped
dfimarre but the steeples of St. Michael's
and St. Phillip s churches will nave to
come down. The massive portico of St;
Michael's was wrenched from the body of
the church and cracks in the main building
extend to the foundation. All of the por
tico of Bishop Northrop's residence was f
swept away. The Academy of Music ap
pears to be uninjured. Charleston hotel
loses ceilings and part of coping.
The German artillery hall is somewhat
injured. The water works building and
reservoir arc injured. Several buildings on
Hague street are gutted.
Injury to St. Phillip's church, previously
mentioned, is almost indiscribable; the
arches of the spire above the clock tower
are torn down and thrown out.
Among the residences seriously damaged
are those of Capt. Dawson of the News and
Courier; General Seigling's, late St. Ju
lien's, of Revena, L. G. Trenholm, C. O.
Witt, Geo. Gibbon, J. L. Tobias, II. Bul
winkl, Pressley Smith and Alderman Mur
ray. On Sullivan's Island the shock was se
vere, but comparatively little injury was
done and no lives were lost. Many of the
summer visitors came up to the city this
morning.
On James' Island the earth cracked in
mauv places and from the fissures issues
large bodies of cold water, mixed
with sand and blue mud. Clocks every
where stopped about 9:40 p. m.
At Mount Pleasant there was a general
shaking up, but no losses of life
There arc many fissures and cavities
from which fresh water and mud have
come. Fine mud or sand has also come to
the surface in Charleston.
It is contended here that there was a
twist or turn in the motion of the earth
quake, and that it had not simply an un
dulating motion. Articles of furniture and
lamps have been found which are turned
partly around, in addition to the visible ef
fectsof a simple wave motion.
The last earthquake shock was experi
enced here a: 11:30 last night, since which
tinift there has been no vibrations. The

For two long days and nights of horror
women and children have been camping
out in the parks and squares. The earth
quake swept over the city like a besom of
FRIDAY MOROTSTGr,
destruction and Charleston is laid low in
the dust. It is impossible to give any cor
rect estimate of the life and property. For
the two days and nights the people have
done nothing but huddle on the squares,
small detached relief parties going to dig
out the dead from the debris or succor the
wounded.
The first successful effort to get at facts
is now making. The list of the dead,
recognized and reported this morning, at
this time foots up sixteen and the search is
only commenced. The list of the wounded
will go into the hundreds.
Aoout seveu-eiglits of the houses and
public buildings in the eity arc either dam
aged or wrecked.
"The waves since 9:55 o'clock Tuesday
night, have been coming in about once
every five or six hours. 'There have been
none now for twelve hours and strong
hopes are entertained that the horror is
about over.
bpecials from points in South Carolina
ranging from extreme northwest to the sea
coast report severe shocks with more or
less damage to property, though withont
loss of life so far as known. In Orange
burg people became so much alarmed tliat
many moved to Columbia.
As the details of the calamity in the city
nre gathered its effects become more and
more alarming.
It is feared also much distress will pre
vail as by far the larger part those whose
property has been wrecked or seriously
damaged, belong to the poorer classes.
People are cheerful as possible under the
trying circumstances, and are trying to
restore order out of chaos. The loss aggre
gate is expected to reach $3,000,000.
The wharves, warehouses smd business
facilities of the city generally are unaffect
ed by the catastrophe, and are as ready as
evcrfor the transaction of business.
The official total of deaths is thirty-three;
the wounded will probably number one
hundred.
Business is still suspended, the whole at
tention of the people being given to provid
ing refuge and making residences safe.
Brick layers have advanced their rates to
$6 a day.
The city council will probably meet to
morrow to provide measures for the relief
of the poor.
Expiessionstof gratitude are heard on all
sides for assistance offered to Charleston,of
which the suffering people will gladly avail
themselves. ,
i ncie were shocks last night at S:30 and
11:50 p. m. and 5 a. in., all were light.
Confidence is gradually returning, but
much apprehension is still felt. The fol
lowing Is the official list of those killed by
the earthquake or have since died from
their injuries:
Whites Peter Howard, Mrs. C. Barber,
Ainsley H. Robinson, Robert Alexander,
Charles Albrecht. B. P. Meynardie, Pat
rick Lynch, Annie Torek, .Mrs. Rachacl,
A. Price, Goldie A. Price.
Colored Thomas Wilson, William Dorr,

Brown, Angelica Davidson, Eugenia Rob
erts, Robert Rodoff, Grace Fleming, Rosa
Murray, Oliver Nickelby, John Cook,
Crurissa Simonds, Hannah Harris, Sarah
Middleton, Rebecca Ward.
The people are gradually taking account
of the details of the injury wrought by the
earthquake, and this list of damages to
property is startling. A limited section in
the south part ' f the city is a sample of
the whole, landing at the postoffice and
looking west and an almost impassable
roadway of debris meets the eye. The
building of the chamber of commerce is
badly damaged, a portion of the south and
east wnlls having been thrown down by
the violence of the shock, and the build
ings of Walker, Evans & Bogs
well have also suffered, while the
heavy granite slabs which formed the para
pet of the News and Courier building lie
on the sidewalk, leaving the slate roof and
a portion of the attic door exposed. Al
most the entire front of the building occu
pied bv Myers' cigar store and Smith's
btencil'establishment is torn out, leaving
the upper floors exposed. The Plenge
building at the corner of Church street was
badly damaged. Most of the buildings on
the street are more or less damaged.
But the violence of the earthquake is
most perceptible at the historic intersection
nf l!w.wl nwl Atootiticr etr'nts- Tim nn15n
of Broad and Meeting streets: The police
station is a most complete wreck; the court
house building is badly damaged, the walls
being cracked in several places and por
tions of the roof .and gables being thrown
down.
What a scene of desolation the fashion
able boulcvr.id of Charleston presented!
Commencing at Broad street one passas
through a block of burned houses, the fire
starting at No. 118, the third building from
the corner of Broad street on the east side,
consumed the entire row of buildings as far
north as Fullv's old stand next to the
Quaker graveyard. The few houses left
on that stde of the street are more or less
shattered anil gutted. The few houses on
the west side of the street north of Broad
street have not escaped the general fate,
although the damage is not as great as in
other portions of the street.
The immense vacant lot ou the west side
of the street is occupied by the families who
lived in the burnt houses and who are
camped out on the sward with the few
household effects saved from the flames,
and from Queen's street to Harback's alley
almost every house is shattered.
A special" report from Mount PL-asant,
opposite Charleston, says that a sink
around the German church, which on Tues
day was ix-rfectlv dry sand is now fuli of
fresh water. Near Shell street tin. re is a
rahm oceunicd bv a colored man. that is
completely surrounded by yawning
chasms extending through the earth's
surface for tea feet and over. All
around this there are sinks of fresh water
aud masses of mud, with queer looking
soft substances, that have never been j-een
before. It is contended by many that the
mud and other sulistances found around
the village are valcanic matter. Jut after
the first" great shock on Tuesday night
there was a decided and distinct sracU cf
escaping sulphuric acid gas over the entire
village. The smell lasted throughout the
ight and was distinct in those localities
where the cavities in the earth were most
numerous.
Not far from Charleston, on the road to
Stinuncrville, extensive mounds of clay
were thrown up and hills of sand, in mast
cases in the shape of inverted cone?, the
hollow part of which had evidently been
formed by the action of the water returning
into the iieptiis from which it had been
raised. In mauy cases the erupted mattt-r

SEPTEMBER 3, 1886
Charleston to Summerville, and at the
latter place it was found from trustworthy
information that the cracks and fissures are
everywhere visible for miles and miles
around strongley enough some
of them were in active operation and the
constant shocks that were felt at Summer
ville sent the water out of these fissures in
jets to the height of from fifteen to twenty
feet. On two of the highest elevations the
mud could be seen. Thi3 latter fact indi
cated that the force was being exerted at
rather more than the depth that was first
thought to be the limit of the force. Near
Ten Mile hill a fatal accident occurred on
Tuesday night: the down Columbia train
jumped the track, the engineer (Burns) and
the fireman (Arnold, colored), were badly
injured .in the tremendous leap
which the train took in
the dark under the unseen influences of the
shock that dismantled the road. It is said
that the earth suddenly gave way and that
the engine first plunged down the tempor
ary declivity, it was then raised on the
top of the succeeding terrestrial undulation
and having reached the top of the wave a
sudden swerving of the force to the riht
and left hurled the ill-fated train down the
embankment. The train at the time of the
earthquake was running at the usual rate
of speed and when, about a mile south of
Jedburg it encountered a terrible experience.
It was freighted with hundreds of excur
sionists returning from the mountains.
They were all gay and happy, laughing
and talking, when all of a sudden, in the
language of one of the excursionists, the
train appeared to have left the track and
was going up, up, up into the air. This
was the rising wave. Suddenly it descend
ed and as it rapidly fell it was flung first
violently over to the east, the sides of the
car apparently leaning over at less than au
angle of forty-five degrees.
Then there was a reflex action and the
train righted and was hurled with a roar as
of a discharge of artillery, over to the west,
and finally subsided on the track and took
a plunge downward evidently the des
cending wave. The engineer put down
the brakes tight but so great was the organ
ic and added momentum that the train
kept right ahead. It is said on trustworthy
authority that the train actually galloped
along the track, the front and rear trucks
of the coaches rising and falling alternately.
The utmost confusion prevailed.
The train was taken back in the direction
of Jedburg and on the way back the work
of the earthquake was terribly potent. The
train had actually passed over one of these
serpentine curves already described.
Additional deaths are reported: John
Cook, colored, fisherman; Sarah ..daugh
ter of Isaac Sawyer, a colored barber; a
colored baby of Mrs. Barnerd.
Offers of assistance are coming from dif
ferent quarters and it is expected that the
city council will organize a relief commit
tee to-morrow.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 2. Two slight
shocks were felt here between 3 and 4
o'clock this morning and our citizens are
still alarmed and many are staying in the
streets.
Augusta. Ga., Sept. 2. The excitement
about the earthquake has subsided here
and apprehension has ceased. Several con
tributions were made today for the
Charleston sufferers.
THE WESTERN UNIONS TROUBLES.
New York, Sept. 2. The Western
Union officials state no messages sent to
Charleston last night could c delivered on
account of the general confusion. Hotels
are empty and the people deserted dwell
ings and encamped in open lots and so can
not be found. The main office of the
Western Union Telegraph company in
Charleston was badly injured: batteries
were destroyed and all instruments ruined
by falling bricks and plaster. An office
has been opened a mile and a-half from the
old one and two wires have been placed in
working order. None of their employes
were seriously injured.
At 5 o'clock this morning all operators
were compelled to quit and seek rest. The
excitement has been so great for forty
eight hours they had obtained no sleep.
The Western Tnion company desire to
announce through the associated press that
they will gladly'foree forward to Charles
ton any contributions of money for suffer
ers and any messages pertaining thereto
free of charge.
At 1 o clock this rnornmsr there was
another slight shock of earthquake felt
but it did no damage. The company hope
to get all their wires in working order to
day. hURSTANTIAI SYJtTATIIY.
Baltimore, Mil., Sept. 2. The Amer

A TRVCER.
Pnii.Ai)Ei,miA, Sept. i. Prof. William
F. Davis, of Harvard college, says: In
order to gather full and uniform records of
the earthquake, observers in all parts of
the country should write out answers to
the questions given below, and thus
furniih a basis "for learning all that am
now be learned about the shocks. Report,
should be mailed promptly to the nearest
signal service office or to the United States
geological survey. The profes?or hopes
that persons who ha, c any definite reports
to make especially in regard to the time of
the shocks and the damage they produced,
will not neglct to send in their statement
in the belief that there will be plenty of re
ports without theirs.

Paris, Sept. 2. The publication of the
correspondence between the Czar and
Prince Alexander has created a great sensa
tion in political circles here. The Czar's
acing reply to Prince Alexander's submis
sion epistle is regarded by diplomats :is in
suring Alexander's abdication and Russia's
occupation of Bulgaria. It is feared that
war will ensue unless Prince Bismarck in
terferes. Russia.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 2. General P.
Vanovoski, minister of war, has returned
to St. Petersburg. The Novoe Vrcmva
savs: Russia must either occupy Bulgaria
ami suppress the anarchy prevailing there
in and restore order or leave the country to
narchy for an indefinite period. Russia's
dignity could uevcr admit a compromise as
nossible.
Prince Alexander sent the following tele
gram to the czar through the Russian con
sulate at Rustchuk :
Sir "l-.ving resumed the government of
Bulgaria. I venture to offer your imperial
majesty my most respectful thanks for the
action "of j'our consul at Rustchuk, whose
official presence at my reception showed to
Bulgarians that Russia did not approve of
the revolutionary act directed at my person.
I also thank your imperial majesty
for despatching Prince Dolgoronki
a3 envoy extraordinary to Bulgaria.
Mv first act on resuming yowcr is to assure
your majesty of my firm intention to mike
every sacrifice to forward your majesty's
magnanimous intention to extricate Bul
garia from the grave crisis through which
she is pissing. I beg of your majesty that
you will authorize Prince Dologoronki to
place himself in direct communication with
myself as speedily as possible. 1 shall -happy
to give your majesty decided proofs
of my unalterable devotion to your august
personage. Mouarchial principles com
pelled me to restore the legality of my
crown in Bulgaria and Roumania. Russia
having given me my crown crown it is in
the hands of Russia's sovereign. I am
readp to surrender it.
The czar replied to Prince Alexander as
follows: "t cannot approve of your re
turn to Bulgaria, foreseeing from it serious,
consequences for the country already po
sorely tried. The mission of Prince Dol
goronki has become inexpedient. I shall
abstain so long as your highness remains in
Bulgaria from any intervention in saidron
dition to which the country is reduced.
Your highness must decide your own
course. I reserve to myself to judge what
my father's venerated memory, the inter
ests of Russia and the peace of the east re
quire of me."
Prussia.
Berlin. Sept. 2. The North Garman
Gazette referring to articles of the ultra
montane and Liberal press regarding Prince
Alexander, saj's. Germany, unievs she
forthwith declared war against Russia,
could only protest against any further in
terfcrence with Alexander or perhaps
against Russia taking further Meps in the
direction of Constantinople. Russia would
energetically repel an insinuation of such
intention and Germany's friendly relations
with Russia would be ended. It must be
remembered war would be the logical de
velopment of such a situation. Nobody
doubts the ultramontane and lilK.-ral policy
is fraught with emminent danger to Ger
many. We must either stand to the policy
of the government or plunge the empire
into interminable war. We hear a.
