GETTING QUIET. The People of Charleston Accep tingthe Situation. Charleston, September 7. At 5 o'clock this morning Mayor Courtenay arrived from New York. He was met at the depot by a number of friends, and learned from them something of the condition of the city, the people and affairs. He said the destruction was greater than he could realize without seeing Charleston, but that the people must not lose heart. They were brave, brainy and generous, and with enterprise, and pluck would rise again. Then he was driven to his home to see the desola tion "and get some sleep. He will visit the city hall this afternoon, con fer with the city officers and others, and call for an extra meeting of the council for to-night or to-morrow. So great was the jam of the people for assistance about, the city hall that the relief committee deemed it advis able to remove their headquarters to a more capacious and stable building, and are now in the Hayne street first floor front of the Charleston hotel. At 7 o'clock there were twenty-one mule carts standing in front of the rooms awaiting orders. They were dispatched there to transport provi sions, tents, clothing, etc., to the suf ferers, and from the depots and from supply houses to the base of supplies. The committee say the number of peo ple who are receiving assistance is di minishing, owing to the general ac ceptance of transportation to other points. The committeemen are con gratulating themselves upon this happy solntion of the relief problem. If the people who can work, and who can find' it to do, would begin to push themselves there would be little need of help from the outside world a fort night hence except in the way of re placing the buildings destroyed. Telegrams continue to pour in, offering aid and asking about work for mechanics. Five or ten thousand carpenters and bricklayers and ten thousand laborers could readily find employment here. There is twice as much detemmation shown to-day as on yesterday to clean up things re pair buildings and continue business. A hum of industry is seen everywhere. The streets are filling with people, and carts have just begun to remove the debris, which is heaped up in such quantities as to blockade the alleyways and impede progress in other thor oughfares. The majority of the busi ness houses are conducting their trade as usual, and only those too much wrecked to be occupied are closed. The commissioners of the city public schools have had a conference, and concluded that the damages sustained by the school buildings will delay rneir reopening ror at least two months. THE WOUNDED CARED FOR. The last patient but one has been removed from the wreck of the city hospital. This was a colored woman who was injured at the premises of Dr. Forrestj inN King street, Tuesday night. She is suffering from a fracture of the skull and is dangerously ill. Six men transported her on a pallet from the hospital to the agricultural building. The only patient now re maining at the hospital is a colored man who cannot be removed at present. The damage to the con federate home is mufeh greater than at first sutmoserL Thn Tfrf Tiro a XT AT w wvr. TTUIO greatly damaged, many holes having uccu. xiiauo m il uu parrs or it naving been shaken from the house. The upper parts of the sid been thrown down, and the inside of rne nouse is much injured. The nlasterinc in nft.rlv n.11 rf tVio a. a - - j j AVUUiO is cracked, and indeed it seems that every part of the building is damaered. The home snstAinAd col ons injury from the cyclone of last year, ana naa just been repaired. AH of these repairs am tntjtfiUr stroyed, and much greater damage was uccu uuuo vy mis latest convul sion of nature than by the cyclone. The friends of the home hope that they will be enabled to repair the damage done to their institution by donations from philanthropists and friends of education in all parts of the country. This refuge for the widows of the confederates and institution for the proper training of the soldiers' orphans appeals strongly to the liber ality of the whole country. This morning's Netcs and Courier ridicules the suggestion made by Prof. Simon Newcomb that there is danger of a tidal wave at Sullivan's Island, and declares that the , danger to the island and this city is oyer, i f TINE NEWSPAPER WORK. - ,As strong as the pictures have been drawn of the destruction, United Press reporter has saati nnKin loca press men i have feeen; con- flnimr their d pscrintion to f acts, v for the reason that theyhave had enough of , facts and no need bf fiction or fATinv- Few instances are known in American journalism'. where.4 better reporters worK nus oeen uuuo iuu m this one case.

The others fled precipitately when tney learnea mat wnai iiau uecu &iu of the scene was true and that not all hfLt hAPTi said. The local nress writers have confined themselves to plain matter of fact. ' A great city lay in mins before them. It was to be de scribed and there were many facts of importance tnat no tancy writing could be indulged in. The street car service has been badly deranged and now is disorgan ized. The telegraph office was ruined. There were no messengers, few hacks and the only way left for the news producers was to walK, waiK, waiK and write, write, write. For sixty honrs it was not a Question of how much could be gotten out by wire. The best newspaper talent tne country affords has been here and in review ing the week's work no class deserve more praise than the one which has withstood hardships of almost con tineons running, with little sleep and little to eat, and who was expected to reproduce a faithful picture to the world of a catastrophe which was be yond the power of pen description. MORE SHOCKS. There have been slight shocks here at irregular intervals of from one to three hours all day. The most distinct ones were just before 7 and at 10:32 o'clock. At some places the men at work tearing down buildings and occupying delicate, if not danger ous, positions, paused and looked significantly at eiach other, but no interruption was experienced and no panics ensued. In looking back over the terrific and destructive shocks of a week ago to-night the inhabitants came to regard later shocks as harm less and declare it will take very posi tive shocks to cause fear. DEATHS YESTERDAY. At 3.45 this afternoon, while the rain was drizzling down, a crowd of sufferers of all colors gathered in front of the supply wareroom and clamored for their rations. They were a pitiable lot of people, ragged, gaunt and sad. The rations consist of half a pound of pickled pork, a quarter of a pound of tea, half pound of rice, a quarter pound each of sugar and coffee, half a pint 6f syrup, and a loaf of bread or pound of crackers. Six deaths were reported to-day from the effects of quakes. CONTRIBUTIONS. Up to 7. p. m. the contributions re ceived from different parts of the" country for earthquake sufferers is $97,986. Of this amount $8,862 came in drafts, checks and money, $49,974 was receiyed by authorized drafts, and $39,150 was received since bank ing hours this evening, $20,000 of which came from John Crosby Brown, treasurer of the New York chamber of commerce, $15,000 from Drexol & Co., bankers, of Philadelphia, re ceived from contributions. LEMON ELIXIR. Editorial. Office Sunday Telegram, ) Atlanta, Ga Oct. 9, 1885. f Dr.Mozley: Allow me to thank you most kindly for the bottle of Lemon Elixir. I am not much of a believer in medicine, but being overtaxed by excessive office work, I conclu ded to try your Lemon Elixir. It proved all and more than you claimed for it. It acts like a charm on the liver, stomach and bowels, gives a check to nervousness and produces what I craved most, namely, pleasant and re freshing' rest at night. I cordially recommend your remedy as a delightful tonic in all cases of indigestion, biliousness and nervous pros tration. CHAS. T. LOGAN, Editor and Proprietor Sunday Telegram.
