Quite severe shock of earthquake was felt herd at 1.44 thu morning, it, was preceded by a noise like an explosion of dyna mite. CHARLESTON. CAREFUL ESTIMATE OF THE ; I DAMAGE. IT AMOJJNTS TO ABOUT ONJS-FOUBTH OF THB T1LU1 OF PROP IKTT. CHiaLxsTON, S. C, Sept. 9. The city is,quiet today, though a dream of absolute immunity from danger was rudely dispelled by a smart but innoc uous shock of an earthquake between one- and two o'clock this morning. Shelter has been pretty well provided for all the homeless, but expected rains will cause much Buffering. Rations are being issued to all persons who are recommended by any clergymen or any reputable citizens known to the'relief committee. Charleston will also fur nieh rations in some way to destitute : persons at Summerville and Mt. Pleas ant. There are rumors thast oountry negroes will flock in here in hope of living -in idleness, and that ootton fields and truA farms will be deserted, but this isinot likely to last, if it begins, as great pains are taken to prevent loafers from tking advantage of the distribu tion of food by the relief committee. A boajd of engineers are at work. They find that the parapet of' the wes tern portico of the 'custom house is se riously damaged and its repair will involve considerable expense, but .the ibuilding is safe and has 'sustained no other injuries. The post "cfBce is seriously damaged and Mr Spier would advise a change were there any available buildings procura ble, ' Jt will be propped up temporarily and rendered 6afe. The old club house on Meeting street is an entire wreck nd will be pulled down. They find the building of the Charleston cot ton factory but little damaged and en tirely safe, with the exception of the south .wall of the fouth story, which 'they advise should be drawn in with . iron rods. The maesive - chimney ;is severely cracked at a point about Jtwo-thirds of the way up. The commit tee recommend that it should be pulled fdown as far as the craoks. Prof. McGee, of the United States geological survey, in a letter published today says : "I desire to reiterate my firm cosviction that there is not the lightest danger of tidal waves, vol canic .eruptions or other catastrophic difctuiSances. There is every proba bility that the slight shocks ought to be Regarded as favorable indications rather hsn otherwise, as they indicate that She accumulating stress to which the earthquake is so far due is relieved from time to time." The oity sppraisor publishes the fol- loif iiig: estimate of damages by the ...Li.kiii - Thv auieraactl laluovf ical ietate for the year 1885 waB 816,753, JtiO. The reassessment completed August 41, loeo, on a basis not exceeding VU or cert of the market value, was JJ20, 00,009 This docs not include govern ment, btate, county, city and other public; property, or churches, Echools Jscd other charitable property exempt from taxation, which will amount to at least $600,000. :A cartful estimate of the damsge done by the cyclone of August, 1885, :J . r AA wsb maue, amounting to aoout ji.aw,- ,yuu. Uf this about JJl.000,000 had been expended during the past year to re place the damage done by the eyclone, In addition to whieh permits have been e sued v from this office since August, 1886, for new buildings and improve ments, tbe actual cost of which is re ported at $486,976, which from experi ence does not represent over three, fourths of the actual cost. ' ' I "The re-numbering of the city, com pleted in December 1885, shows - the actual number of houses : numbered louth ; of Sheppard street, which u he northern boundary of the built up jbortion; of the. city, to be 7,388.

Chxelkstoh, o. U., September 9. Mayor! Courtenay today issued a second address to the people, in whioh he says that he can testify to the large damage throughout the whole extent of the oity, and that it can be truthfully said of the community as a whole that their moral courage and heroism were equal to their great disaster, mayor courtenay shows in brief what was accomplished in the midst m the crisis and mentions partiou larly the devotion to duty of the fire men of the city, constancy of the police- force, fidelity of the telegraph operators and the zeal and oourage the municipal corps and private physi cians Of the city. In conclusion he offers the following advioe for the best interesis of the peo ple: "At the end of sixty dayi we most surely expect cold wealther, and I am alarmed at the oonsequences to follow tho use of tents and frail shelters in our streets and public squares, which must lead surely to sickness and calamity. We have it on the highest authority of science and experience that there is no likelihood of further violent earthquake shocks. Their gradual deorease m itself assures us of their total cessation. And now, my fellow citia 'ns, I deem it my imperative duty to advise the escape as rapidly as possible from the serious exposure of living under thin Bhelter and on open ground at this season of the year, when our rainy weather is usual. Nearly every frame building in Charleston, has been declared at least safe for habitation. The chim neys may be rebuilt, while occupied; tho plastering msy be restored at Borne future time. Many of the brick build ings have been also pronounced safe in part and can ba occupied. I return thu day to occupy the uninjured part of my brick house and in all such oases, where return to their homes is possible, I earnestly invoke the immediate and united action of all of my fellow citizens. Where the immediate return is impossible by reason of the danger ous condition of their homes, I recom mend a temporary refuge in the interior of the State or elsewhere, or the hiring of some safe dwelling in the city, a number of which are today unoccupied. "A word to those who can of them selves put their own houses in repair: Let them do so without an hour's delay. If labor is not ample enough here it is offered us from surrounding cities and can be had. The next sixty days in Charleston should be busy days in the preparation for winter. Whatever dis comfort may be under the roof, the pen alties to follow the continued use of thB present arrangements : will make them endurable. What our people want is relief; immediate, permanent relief, from the , terrible nervous strain to which they have been suddenly sub jected, and which will certainly con tinue in the tent-life which many are leading in the streets and public squares. A renewal of the home-life of the city alone v. ill restore confidence, rest and quiet. The same characteristic which have cirried our jeople through this trials of the past tea days, if exert ed under the advice I have honestly given them, I am lure will bring, ill safety and relief of mind, a permanent benefit to them. i In conclusion I earn estly invoke all the clergy, physicians and heads of families throughout the city to oc-operate in this effort to re store the healthful repose of all our peo ple." v. j. One of the incidents is a report that there is a decided ti.-t v genet ailoyeling of the land at a point op the v;bariaum & oavannan rsxiway. An a , it is asserted: besides that build ings in South Carolina whioh before the earthquake were always visible from tbe city of Augusta,; can no longer be Eeen from that point. This is taken as an absolute indication of a depression of the earth's level in; South Carolina. An agent of the department of the inte- a . m a nor has been mstructea to inquire into these different statements. The State military academy proves to be but iiiue aamagea ana win . . reopen at the appointed time, October 3d, with ' a full corps of cadets, including several from other States. A brisk rain this evening caused great uneasiness and in convenience throughout the city, but fortunately did not last long enough to work serious harm, it will remind the people of the necessity of preparing at once for bad weather by trenching their tents and by getting back to their homes wherever this is practicable and safe. The South Carolina railway wharves are uninjired and only one of the waterside buildings is damaged se riously. Contractors; will Monday next eein work on a new and additional wharf of 250 feet front and a warehouse 400 feet lone. There is no lack what ever of terminal facilities. Cnrlona Topoarrmpfalesl Chamffoa Augubta. Ga., 8ept. 9. One of the curious results of the recent outurD ances here is the change in the topo -. .1 l"a graphy of the country. Many houses on the sand-hills, the aristocratio resi dences of the city, which before could not be seen from the city, are now in fall view, while other landmarks have disappeared. These curious changes were noticed Sunday ifor the first time, and attracted much attention. In tak ing a bird's-ve view of the oity from any point these remarkable changes will at once be recognized, and go to prove that there has been a considerable set tling of the earth. All Honor to tb.

At a meet ing of the Charleston relief committee of the chamber of oommerce today Mr. Clyde, of the Clyde Charleston line, reported that the captain of the Dela ware, who was an eye witness to the scones of suffering and misery during the first four days of the earthquake at Charleston, described the misery as touohing in the extreme. The captain said that but one half of the particulars had been told. General accounts had been published, but did not state the ways in which the people suf fered, especially that the earthquake struck at all, rich and poor, alike. People well to do, having plenty of stores and supplies on hand, were cut off from their kitchens and cellars bv the dangers attending any entranoe into their dwellings, hence there were deli cately nurtured people without food and naif naked, forced to- remain out expos ed to the deadly night air for four days. The "Delaware" lay in harbor, and her captain had his ship full every night of sufferers. He fed all he could in the day time. The great need now was money to buy supplies of food. The tent oommittee reported that the acting secretary of the navy had notified them there was a large amount of condemned canvass on hand in the denartment which would bo at the disposal of the oommittee. 1 he mayor of Charleston will be notified at once of this fact.

On the sailing craft the mainsails were set, while the thick black smoke that rolled from the stacks of the- steam yachts showed that they were preparing tor the work of the day. All of the great throng of people that had filled the verandas of the hotels along the Narrows on the occasion of the first race, those who had stationed them selves along the Long Island or the J ersey shores or perched upon the walls and breast-works of the two big forts at the entranoe of the upper bay, appeared to have been lifted in one great mass and set down upon the beaoh at Sandy Hook on the Jersey hills, ine Deaon be .- -w : mi it. tween Ocean Grove and the Navesink highlands, as . far as the eye could reach, was black with people.

Those who were unable to see . the yacht race Tuesday read the announce ment in the World that a panoramic diagram of the course would be sailed over by miniature models of the rival ycbhts in front of the World building, and over fifty thousond people during the day came down to Park Row to see it.' Before the staging on which the miniature race was to be sailed had been finished, the early pedestrians stop ped on - their way, and by 9 o'clock Park Row was crowded. The broad sidewalk at the post office wis filled, and even the doorways leading into the corridors were blocked. For an hour the crowd stood patiently waiting for the curtain that obscured the race-course to be lifted.

Besides this, the separate tacks, movements in rounding the Btakeboat and. correspond ing changes of the sails were displayed in exact reproduction of what occurred on the competing yaonts Long before the racers crosed the starting-line bulletins from Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton and Sandy Hook were posted, recording the velocity of the wind, the tide and the state of the weather at those points.
