ting heat into space. It is, therefore,
all tha time cooling. It muai be, there

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

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

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

Boot, workout, under the blessing. of

"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

but the weather tonight is fine and clear.

posure today, aad one man.

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

changed. The sheriff is now rallying; a
posse to go to the scene of tbe trouble.
The trouble has arisen on aocount of the

Acgubta. Sept. 8. 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.

Hew Sensation at Charleston.
8peeial Dispatch to Baltimore Sun. .
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 ninety tents received from! the
war department Saturday afford shelter
to about one thousand persons perhaps.

This distribution bas already been
noted in the News and Courier. When
tive hundred of them shall have been
received and distributed the needs of
the people will have been partially sup-
plied, in tne meantime necessity,
which has been said to be "tne mother
a a a m - . . 1 I . 1
of invention," has taught people to take
care of themselves, and in the parks,
publio squares and vacant lots a very
great variety of tent arohiteoture may
be Been.
The only material available for the
construction of tents is sheeting, old
rugs, shaws, carpets, matting and other
miscellaneous articles of bed furniture.
The people in the various seotions of the
city have gradually congregated wgetn

A reporter yesterday strolled arennd
the lower wards and visited some of
these camps. The result of his obser
vations are given below:

; WASHINGTON SQCARJt.
The col orcd people have taken entire
Eosscssion of this square and appear to
ave moved there permanently. The
ellipse in the centre is crowded with
tents made of all kinds of material.
Slnoe the rain yesterday many of these
tents arc covered with tin. 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. Somo of these are
square, some round, arvd wsae triangu
lar. The majority of them are made by
driving four sticks into the ground.
The rectangle thus made is walled in
'ith sheets and the top covered with
matting or carpets, or old rags of any
kind that can be obtained. Others are
built by driving two sticks into the
ground, placing a pole over them and
stretching bed quilts across them, thus
forming n "A tont. At nights tLe
settlement numbers about six hundred
persons, all . f whom are colorod.
