CHABunrro S. C, tktt. 8. Things are
settling down in C-nritston, and the slight
uvmor of earthquioJ which is felt once or
twite a day attracts little attention. Labor
ers are at work in every direction clearing
away the masses of fallen brick and stone,
and there are strenuous efforts being made
to protect tlie injured buildings from the ex
pected rains. Everywhere there are sijnis of
a restoration of tlie normal condition of
things and business is Ising transacted as
usual.
Tlie Relief Committee, which was oigan
nst last Saturday, is actively at work, ami
lias now provided accomuioilatioiis in tents
atsl in hut! fiir over 3,000 persons. Besides
this tlie Subsistence Oimmiltee was serving
out 1. wlay ample rations of meat, bread and
sugar to all worthy applicants. The plan is
to make the ilistrlbutioa hereafter upon the
renimmenilation of the clergymen of the
different denominations in tine city. The
subscriition continue to come in very free
ly, and the aggregate now is $110,737. This
will go a long way toward reliev ing the pres
ent distress in the city, but it is only "a drop
in tlie bucket" in comjiarison with what b
required lo make Chacleston what it was a
little more than a week ago.
The si-cue in the market to-day was cheer

a landmark of Charleston escaped injury,
with the exptioii of the hall at the western
ends of the market. This is badly shaken
and cracked, and will, it is feared, have to
lie pulled pown. The butchers were at their
stalls with their teuitiug display of joints,
ribs, n lasts, steaks, cct. No attempt has been
made to advance iniccs. Beef is sold at
from 10 to l." cents, ami other meats at the
usual prices.
There was quite a falling off in the num
ber of out-going passengers to-day. This
was owing chierly to the action of the rail
road officials and of the city authorities. It
was found that large numbers cf colored
jiersoiis were applying for passes which they
used for excursions to the country. It was
also found that a number of people not
large numlier. it is true a lio could afford ti
y were using free passw. Fsee transpor

and children otilv who have no home or

The Sailors' Home in Charleston is a com

its foundation. The Matron liarely escaped
with her life. The Mariners' Church is
seriously injured that it cannot be used, and
may have to be rebuilt. It will require at
least tl.Yuml to replai-e these buildings.. An
apsid is made to scalaring uieu everywhere
to raise the amount needed. The work
among seamen gis-s on, and services will be

Rcirts of the great distress in the colored
villages along the line of the South Carolina
Railroad are reaching the city. There will be
svdy action, and wl at relief is needed will
be given out of the Charleston fund.
All those who have come to the city from
the country say that the plight of the p sir
animals there during last week's earthquake
was pitiful in the extreme. Those who were
stabled eudtttvored to break their bonds and,
failing to do so, stissl up trembling and
shivering in an agonv of fear. The horses
neighed out their distress in unmistakable
language, and tlie cows lowed in a most
piteous manner. Those of the animals that
were at large Hod through the wissls and, as
usual sought to bide themselves from the
mysterious danger in the depth of the thick
ets and swam) .
Tliere was some rain to-day, but the weath

There was a distinct earthquake shock ut

The People of Charleston Gaining
Confidence Rebuilding the
Ruined City. ,
CHAapCToK, Sep. 10. Tlie night stated
quietly. Tliere was no shocks in tlie city
and with the appearance of the sun this
morning tliere were renewed signs of activi
ty in tlie work of removing tlie debris and
an incrutscd disposition on the part of
people to return to their houses. The rain
which fell yetarday has just begun to affect
the shattered walla, several of which fell to
day. Oilier building are liatde to fall at
any moment, so tliat constant care ha to be
exercised oil the part of the. inliabitajiu.
The streets are more than usually Uvely and
jicople walk along the sidewalks, when
ever the debris has been cleared away, with
but little apiareut fear of danger.
The relief committees are hard at work
distributingprovLsiuns and money, and their
chief concern is to prevent the falling of re
lief to unworthy persons. Two hundred
and ninety tents were received to-day from
the Governor of New Jersey. They were
ai-conqianied by his private secretary and an
officer of the yuiirtermaster's Department.
One hundred and sixty-six tents have also
breu shipped from Ohio. The committee,
with many thanks to the American iieople,
authorize the statement that they have tents
enough to meet all present needs.
WTTtSU THISOS IS SHAPK.
There is not much stirring to-day beyond
the evidence everywhere shown of putting
things in shaMi again. The Board of Sur
vey is busily at work, and has reixminictided'
that several buildings be pulled down. Most
of the mursire front of the .Vetoj ami (mrier
building and its job office must come down,
but the building containing the- composing
room and press room is pronounced uliso- j
lutely safe. There is little nsim for- doubt
that the injury to the city will exceed the
estimate of five million dollars, as every day
develops damages previously unknown, as
in the case of the A'eav and Courier building,
for example The relief committee has
ojiened a registry for mechanics desiring
employment, where citizens can communi
cate with them and make engagements. As
the First Presbyterian Church is iu ruins,
and the wingregation are unable to rebuild,
tliey apal to the members of their denomi
nation elsewhere for assistance. ' Rev. W. T.
Thomiison, D. D., is pastor and will receive
remittances.

delirious with joy when she found that she
could sjieak. Her voice was low and her
throat sore for three days, and she had troub

It was much like learning a new tongue, ex-

Brandt'ord township. Tho tenant isTliom is
Kvetison. tin the farm was a large barn.
Iu tle iipi'r story, amont: other crois, were
71 bushels of grain and three tons of bran.
Last night K veil .n and his two sous went
into the turn to milk 22 cows in the lower
slablcs. Suddenly, as if the structure had
b.'cn shaken by ail earthquake, the liarn col
lapsed and fell in iqioii the men and cows.
They were overwhelmed by the wheat and
bran. Toadd to the horror the floors of the
cow stable gave way. ami the a-iimils fell
down and hung by the chains aroun 1 their
neck. The farmer's wife aroused the neigh-
b irs, and they worked heroically. Tlie ehk-r
Kvensou had foughl his way to the door,
wliere lie lay bntised and bleeding. The
oldest son, Thomas W.. was found Wedged

suffocated him, but life still remained.
The cattle were bellowing and kicking and
more timls-rs fell, but the rescuers worked
manfully intheilark, until young Evenson
was dragged out niore dead than alive. The
second son was on top of the wreck, nearly
over his head in the bran and wheat- It is
thought nearly all the cuttle K'rished. - The
injured men are in a dangerous condition.

M u-N, tj.i., Scptctuher lo. A singular ef
fect of the recent eurthqiiake was made man
ifest here to-day at the planing mill of Hays
and Mansfield. This morning the engineer
discovered that the inspirator on the boiler
would not supply the boiler with water,
which it hail always been doing from a large
well sunk especially fiir tliat purpose near by.
It was at first thought that the inspirator was
defective, hut on a closer examination the
farl was disci ivertsl that the waler in tlie
well bad Iwcemc so warm that the inspirator
would not work. The tcnqicrature of the
water w:is found to almost n-.u h the boiling
point. The stoppage of work throws a num
ber 'f hands out of employment.. The ac
cepted theory is that the rhaiigp in the tem
iicratnre was pntluivd by the nivnt earth
quake shiM-ks.
