It muai be, there fore, undergoing contractions or shrlnk ages. Again the earth is not homo geneous in its matter, and : when these contractions take place there must $e at intervals an adjustment of the sat face of the earth to the new conditioh of things resulting from the changes in the interior. In fact such adjustments are constantly going on. I therefore regard the shocks which followed the great shook of luesday night as so many minor adjustments made neoessary by thet first change.

CHARLESTON. SOME CURIOUS NOTES ON THE BEHAVIOR OF ANIMALS, TUX LATX8T KXWS FROM CUARLX&TON BRIGHTENING CP. -.Charleston, Sept. 8. Things are set fling down in Charleston and the slight tremor of the earthquake, which is felt once or twice a day. attracts lit Lie more attention than the rumbling of a pass ing wagon. Laborers are at work in every direction,' clearing away the masses of fallen brick and stone, and there are strenuous efforts made, to pro tect the injured buildings from the ex pected rains. Everywhere there are signs oi a restoration of the normal con dition of things and business is trans acted just as usual. The relief committee which was or ganized last Saturday is actively at work and has now provided accommoda tions in tents, and in huts for over 3, 000 persons! Besides this, the subsist-' ence committee is in in full swinsr, and is serving out today ample, rations of meat, bread and sugar to all worthy ap plicants. 1 be plan is to make the dis tributions heieafter upon the recommen dation of the clergymen of the differ ent denominations of. the city, Sub scriptions continue to come in very freely and the aggregate now is now about $200,000. This will go a long way towards relieving the present dis tress in the city, but is only a drop in the bucket in comparison with what is required to make Charleston what it was a little more than a week ago. Mayor Courtenay has issued a proclamation to the people of the city, in which he says: "I have this day returned to my loved city, amid its widespreaddcsolation, its gomes shaken to their foundations, many of them utterly wrecked and few without seriousttnjuries, and I find many of you, iiV- -.t i i my lenow-ciuzens, wun your aear ana tender families, living and sleeping still tfoder frail shelters, and some under the sky, with the recent terrible calamity and its awful suspense still lingering in your minds. Amid the ruins of this far- reaching and terrible calamity I am pro foundly thankful that bo much of life and property has been Boared. and rejoice that the same fortitude and heroio patience that, in truBt of God and Hi providence has al ways characterised this people, is now their stay in this time of dire trouble, and I am thankful to add. that in this pfcet week of disaster the good order and helpful co-operation of all classes of our citizens have conduced to the maintenance of the publie weal. It is inspiring to behold amid these grave difficulties the resumption of the business life of our city and the quenchless faith of our peo ple in the future. lhe open exchanges, banks and lead ing houses in all departments of business, the uninterrupted commerce of railroads, steamships . and sailing fleet, and the rady wharves, the busy workshop and tpo usual 'routine of all the arocations and employments of our city, proclaim to at we are aireaay going forward -to a i a j , aew future. That future is based on work, ntft idleness, and I call upon every one to' seekwork in any and every way possible. Although the situation is critical, it is not insurmountable. It demands from every citizen in our midst calm judgment, the broadest charity; a resolute determination, in word and act; an unfaltering trust in God to tide over the unparalleled calamity that has so unexpectedly come upon us. This dis aster, that reaches every home and every par t of our city, ' can only be met and overcome by the moral oourage and ibe united ettort of the whole people. Tbe immediate 'and serious duty before us is the protection and succor of the houseless, the sick and the indigent, the unfortunates and the helpless, that crowd us. As the executive of the city it is my duty to create an organization looking to dealing with the different problems before us, and I have to act at once. I have therefore initiated this work by asking the service of eomo of my fellow-citizens in a worthy attempt to organize such plans as will mitigate the suffering and distress, so universally around us, and ' which threatens suon serious consequences to many of our people. This plan will be altered, if f?und in any way wanting incompleteness si the work progresses. In this effort is a source of great gratitudo to us to know that we are not crapnlinff with this unspeakable disaster iloLe. The sympathy of this whole union of States has touched us deeply, and the spontaneous giving o practical and speedy aid in this our smuggle shows that the true heart of Uie people of this country boats with us now as it will hereafter. la this hope and cheered with thisprom- iug future as part of a great people Wfcso- helping hands are out stretched to .us, let us turn -ta'l 1 a. - manfully : to our neritage an i, as many times in the past on this very Boot, workout, under the blessing. of uod, a new luture tor our now shattered but dearly 4oved city. "William A. Cocktinay, mayor Cuarlxston, 8. C, Sept. 8. The effect of the great shock Tuesday on the animals of the city ; may be best illus trated by the stampede of the horses at engine house No. 4. They escaped from the house and ran in the wildest affright through the upper part of the oity, snorting and neighing, to the ter ror and alarm of all whom thev Dasaed. they were not recovered until the fol lowing morning, having run as far as Vagener's farm. All those who have (jome to the oity from the country say that plight of the poor animals there was pitiful In the extreme. Those which were stabled endeavored to break their bonds, and failing to do so, stood up in their pent-up houses, trembling and shivering in an agony of fear. Horses neighed out their distress in un mistakable language, and cows lowed in a most piteous manner; those of the animals that were at largo fled through the woods and, as usuil, sought to hide themselves from the mysterious danger in the depths of thickets and swamps. One of the most pathetic instanoes of the expression of terror by dumb animals occurred Tuesday night, fully half an hour after the frightful shock. . A very savage looking mastiff approached a re porter on Spring street, which added considerable confusion to the momen tary expectation of another shook. The demoralized dog, however, came over to the reporter and licked his shoes as an eloquent and pathetic apyeal for moral comfort. Subsequent! the animal moved Off and stopped from time to time whining at doors and seeking in vain admission, in his terur-stricken way. A gentleman who has just returned from John's island says that at an early hour Tuesday afternoon cows and sheep came hurriedly in ; fron the fields, Uy down in a circle and filled the air with their moans. The chickens went to roost lsng before dark and cackled constantly for some time preceding the shock; This gentleman was sleeping soundly at the time of the earthquake and was thrown out of bed. '! The scene in the market today was cheering and hopeful. This long row of buildings, a landmark of Charleston, escaped injury with the exception of the ball at the western end of tbe market This is badly shaken aad cracked, and will, it is feared, have to be pulled down. The butchers were at their stalls with tempting displays of joints, ribs, Steaks, roasts and "soup bones." No attempt has been made to advance prices. Beef is sold at from 10 to 15 cents, and other meats at the usual prices. There was quite a falling off in the number of outgoing passengers from the city today. This was owing ohiefly to the action of the railroad officials and of the oity authorities. It was found that a large numbers of colored persons were applying for passes whioh they used 'c make excursions to the country. It was CbO found that a number of peo ple, not alarge number it is true, who could afford to pay, .were using the free passes. Free transportation will be given hereafter to : those women and children only whom; have no home or shelter here. When the Circular church, on - Meeting street, was destroy ed in the great fire ef 1861 a number of monuments and headstones in the church yard, some of them dating back to colonial times, were shattered. One of the marble columns which stood on the south 'side of t the church, within a few steps of tbe Street, survived the fierce flames. The intensity of the heat,! however, caused the north face of the shaft to warp out until the marble slab was bent like a bow. Since that time it has been regarded as a great curiosity by thousands of people. During .the earthquake it was completely demol ished. The sailors' home in Charleston is a complete wreck and will have to be rebuilt from its foundation. The matron barely escaped , with her life. Chap lain Rev. C. E. 'Chichester and his wife were providentially out of the oity or they would probably have been fatally injured. The Mariners' church is so seriously injured that in oannot be used and may have to be rebuilt. It will require at least $15,000 to replaoe these buildings. An appeal is made to sea faring men everywhere, who could ea sily raise the afuount needed. Work among the seamen goes on, and service will be held on the wharves and on ship board. Contributions can be sent to Rev. C. Chichester, the seamen's chap lam, Charleston. Reports of great dis tress in colored villages on the line of the South Carolina railroad are reach' ing this oity. There will be speedy Bo- lion , and what relief is needed will be given out of the Charleston fund. The mayor has appointed a board of i r. ? r ttt; engineers ana aromtecus, witn jap. w . H. Bixhy, U, 8. engineer corps, as chairman, to examine and report upon dangerous buildings for removal. Ihe publio buildings will first be inspected, to determine their safety and the extent of their injuries. Jrlaces of business will be inspected next and afterwards residences.

Coshocton, O., 8ept. 8.A report was received here last night to the effect that a oohflict had occurred between the black and the white miners at the Frank lin coal mines. Twenty shots were ex changed. The sheriff is now rallying; a posse to go to the scene of tbe trouble. The trouble has arisen on aocount of the black miners superseding the whites. ho have been out on -a strike since April 15th. Detectives are n guard ing the mines and chutes.

It was learned 1at a late hour last night that the Au gusta factory, where a strike causing a lock-out occurred, had obtained twenty employees to take the place of the strik ing pickers and starts up this morning. Augusta, Ga., Sept 8. This morn ing six men, escorted by the police, started to work in the picker-room of the Augusta . factory. They were met at the mill by several hundred opera tives, who indulged in jeers and cries of "8cabs." Four' out of the six en tered the office of the superintendent and two were induced to remain outside. After remaining a. short time the four recruits left. This afternoon at 2 o'clock eight hands, escorted by the police, entered the mill and worked in the picker-room until b o clock. Sev eral hundred operatives remained on the streets in the neighborhood of the mill, but offered no violence. Efforts will be made to run the Augusta factory tomorrow. There are no new develop ments at the other factories. A Land- lil lm the'Blg fnnnsl. Special Dispatch to the News eud Observer. Ashivillx, N. C, Sept. 8, 1886.

Charleston, 8. C, Sept. 7. At 11.40 a. m. today there was a distinct rumble and a perceptible quiver of tha earth. Many persons did not hear it, however, ana the panio was not as great as it might have been. At 1.40 p. m.; exactly two hours later, another and se verer shook came. Ihis last was more perceptible, in that the writer could distinctly trace its advance, its culmination and its subsidence. Like those of last week; it came from the southeast, apparent ly from the sea. , Tne horrible roar was -first heard, and then a slight vibration, both apparently ap proaching from a southerly direction. As the disturbance reached the city the pulsation was heavy. .Buildings were shaken for about five seconds, and then the wave proceeded northwest, the roar gradually dying out. Shortly af ter this a scaffold on which nve or sue workmen were at work on a building at theoorner of Broad and State streets was crushed by a slab of marble from the oornioe. All of the men were buried in the ruins, but all escaped with slight injuries except one, who was fatally crushed. The list of earthquake victims con tinues to increase at the rate of threo or four a day. Most of these are women and children, who are dying from fright and exposure.-: The flight from the city oontinues. A rough estimate gives the number of women and children who have already left at about 3,000. The railroads aro granting free passes. It is creditable to the men of Charleston to be able to say that they are, with few but excep tions, at their posts. Many who were away on their Summer holiday have re turned, and thoe who have had to carry their families away have hastened back- to their posts of duty. This is true of rich and poor alike.

Confluence has been so far restored that those persons whose homes are not entirely destroyed generally return to their houses in the morning, and some few who have kerosene stoes venture to set them up in the kitchen or I back parlor and prepare their meals. Some attempts have been made, too, to clear off the wreck out of bedrooms and din ing-rooms, but the advent of night sends everybody back to their outdoor quarters.

The square was the plaoe of refuge for the whites last week, but the howlings at night and the gradual encroachment of the .colored peoplo, who seem to take an v especial delight in noisy religious ser vices, have driven them off, and the colored people now occupy the entire iquaro. : Ihe whole fquare is gradually being covered by tent, not excepting the lawns adj lining the walls of the fire proof building.
