Coivuvu, S. C. Sept 21. Last
nigh, there was sheet-lightning in ihe
east. 'At frequent intervals drin the
night subterranean thunder was heard
'for several hoars and at 5.08 m. a
long,; rumbling sound, apparently pro
ceeding from a direction a little ' west
of sooth, was followed by a severe
shock:, lasting about a minute. Houses
were i shaken and most of the people
wakened. The subterranean thunder
on tinned soversi hours after the shock
?h stmoeysete grew vry oold jostle
fore the shock. Persons sleeping un
covered near an open window found it
necessary to close the window and use
blankets. '
CHABXfSTOif, S C, Sept. 21.4-There
wereHhree shocks of earthquake here
last faight and early this morning, a
shock at 5 15 a. m. being quite sharp
and bausing nouses to rattle uncomfort
ably; There was no general alarm, but
a good many persons ran out of their
houses into the streets and remained
there. At Sammerville there were three
shocks between 4 25 and 6 30 this morn
ing, here being a rather violent shoes
at 5.15, as here. A loud detonation,
similar to a report of a heavy gun, wat
heard at the beginning of the seven
shock here, and there were detonations
or explosions with two of the shocks at
Sammerville. It is reported that part
of thjt wall of the medical college, al
ready weakened, was thrown down bj
the morning's shock, and much loose
plfstering was also thrown down. A
colored man was. injured by the falling
wall., j
CAabliston, S. C, September 21.
There wis no mistaking the chartctei
of the "disturbai.ee" that occurred si
15; o'clock this morning. It was s
rude; awakening for the people of thif
brave old city, but they bore it as they
have; borne all the other greai trialf
through which they ha e been called
upon to pi ss, -with ut flinching fertitudc
and Coursge. Most of the people in the
oity Were asleep at the tune, but the
shock was sufficiently strong to awakr
thim l be features of the phenomenon
and of the atmoepherio conditions were
somewhat peculiar. The weather Sun
day iad Monday night was warm and
salry. The temperature was high and
there) was on bout ntghts an entire ab-
scnof 1 of wind. After 10 o clock a
night the wind seemed to have died ;
out entirely. Monday night indi
cations of a -'change in the weather
were' apparent, despite the intecseh
warm weather. Frtquent flwhes of
sheet lightning were seen in the nortL
and bocasional rolls of distant thundei
were beard. In the opinkn of some
people these were seism io detonations.
nut Mere seems to be scarcely room u
doubt that they were rolls of ! distant
thutider. The sky over Charleston all
this I time wsa entirely elesr and the
moan shone brightly. Shortly after
midnight the wind set in to blow ratbxr
briskly from the eatt and clouds began
to gather in the sky. borne persons
state thai there was a slight shock about
4 0 clock, but if there was it was not
suffijBtent to arouse any one who was
asleep. It was 5d& when the -shook
arrived. . This was about the severest
that has been felt in Charleston for over
two weeks. Other vibrations that many
people allege they have felt were
child s play eompareu witn tne snock
this; morning. Houses were very per
ceptibly shaken, and in many houses
plastering was. thrown down. The shock
is variously estimated to nave las tea
from three, to ten seconds. There seems
to be some question whether it was ac
companied by the usual rumbling
sounds. A gentleman who wis on the
second floor of a, large brick building
stales that the shaking of the house, ac
companied by the rattling of sashes,
grinding of joists and the fall of plaster
ing was all that he heard. A policeman
who was stationed at the iuterseo
tioh of Broad and Meeting 'streets
states, on the contrary, that be felt a
very slight movement of the earth, but
distinctly hard a ncise. Another man,
who was on the street, on the way to
hi place of business, .states that the
earth moved violently and; that the
sound was like the explosion of a
thousand pounds of dynamite under
ground. The worst feature of the shock
wis the additional injury to the medical'
college, of which a large part Of the wall
fell in. It is now a gaping ruin and
apparently must eome down to the base
ment. A shock today is reported also
from ftummerville, Sumter, Blaokville,
Orangeburg, and Newberry, S. C,
Augusta and Savannah, Ua. Within
three minutes after the shock had
passed there were a good many people
od the streets, although comparatively
few of them, were women and children
For the last three or four days the scav
engers carts nave been il vDtt ita
the sidewalks have been so cleared of
debris that ' most pedestrians had re
turned to the habit, of using the pave
ments. It was observed this; morning
however, that many persons kept the
middle of the road-wave while walking
through the streets, heyond a natural
feeling of dreai and uncertainty oreated
by the shook, the people seemed to have
taken the disturbance in a cool and
Oilm way. There was little interrup
tion of business and none whatever in
the work of repair, which is progressicg
rapidly as canr be expected f under the
eiroumstanocs. It is hoped that this
is about the last of these nuweloome
visitors that we ihall bve. The
weather today was cloudy, with brisk
W - r.
easterly winds, whioh are to be expected
at this time of the year.
The relief oommittee ii making con
siderable headway with the arduous
work before it. Over 3,500 forma of
application for relief on acoount of in
jury to houses and other property have
been issued and nearly 700 applications,
fully filled out, have been received.
These applications come from every
class in the community and there is no
disposition anywhere to find fault with
or objeot to the efforts of the oommittee
to obtain each detailed information as
will prevent the public generosity from
being abused and to put the most meri
torious cases in a position to be attended
to first. The oommittee, with the
small amount of monoy at its
disposal, in comparison with the publio
needs, must pontine its sphere of opera
tions. It proposes to deal first with
cases of widows and orphans who have
but one house and who are , unable to
-make it inhabitable and 'safe without as
sistance from the committee. When
this class is provided for the next in
order will be taken up and disposed of.
The custom house pediment has been
shored up and the postoffioe made safe
for the oooupants. Architect Spier,
however, is satitfiadof the hopeless con
dition of both the postoflke and United
States engineers' building on Meeting
street, and will recommend that the de
partment ask Congress at its next ses
sion to make an appropriation for the
erection of a publio building of sufficient
'size to accommodate all the departments
of the government that are not provided
for.: Mr. Spier will recommend as the
best plan that the government sell the
posteffice nd club honse buildings, as
well ss thi sites on whioh they stand,
and secure a new silo for the erection of
a building.
Acgcbta, Oa , September 21 At
1:55 a. m;, city time, a distinct shook
of earttqaske was felt here.
Kaw ijoBK, Sept. 21. Additional
subscriptions today for the Charleston
relief and of the chamber of commerce
were $1,460; making a total of $73,583
to date.

ABRKST Of BOM1 Of THI BOLD KASOALS
c Sfaw York, Sept. 21. Charles Roane
Parmelee; secretary of the California
vintage company, called at police head
quarters today and added his testimony
to the mess already in possession of de
tectives tjji convict C. yf. Foster, the
imprisoned "banker" of 42 Broadway,
who is charged with swindling to an un
precedented extent. How many accom
plices Foster has is not known. Two
were arretted recently and bailed, Fos
ter testifying to their respectability and
good business standing. The Califor
nia vintage company was victimized ibj
a third, one C. V. Sargent, who claim
ed to be in business on Walker street.
He gave Foster as a reference and that
gentleman gave him an excellent char
acter, thus enabling him to swindle the
company nut ol $402. Foster's favorite
way of operating was to give thirty day
draft of a London banking house, tak
ing;! as security endorsed notes for
twenty or twenty-eight jJ8- Among
the voluminous correspondence found
in his effice was a list of addresses of
persons, which he tried ineffectually to
conceal when arrested. The police be
lieve it is a list cf his victims. In the
list are the following: Burroughs fcCo.,
Knoxville, Tenn.; Q. M. Amos, Usrle
ton, Ga j J. A. Morris, Pin Hook, Fla.;
F A. StArns, Texas.
1 man Condemned 10 be Shot.
MAnnm, Sept. 21. All of the officers
implicated in yesterday's attempt at a
revolution have been condemned to
death. A band of rebels at Ocana, in
the province of. Toledo, killed their
commanding officer and then tetu ned
to allegiance and prayed for mercy The
common soldiers who took part in the
uprising, generally repent their folly
today and blame their officers for lead
ing them abtray. Soldiers are every
where yielding to the. authorities, fr.
the : province of Toledo two bands of
rebels, however, still hold out. They art
trying to reach the Quadarrama mom
tains and a force of loyal troops have
been sent in pursuit of them.

pursuit or groups or tne insurrectionists,
and many arrests are .made, rrequent
skirmishes are reported between the

SorU, 8tpt. 21. The Bulgarian
government, replying t Kusia s note,
gays that the trial of the revolutionary
conspirators has been delayed until the
arrival of Gen. Kaulbars. The gov
ernment cannot stop the course of justice.
It has no fear that the trial will jeop
ardise, the peace of the country, which
oofes Ruoh as Russia presented might
do. If the Russian agent desires to
know the progress of the trial be can
obtain the desired information in the
same way as the agents of other powers.
MORE RIOTING.
THE
DESPERATE iiELIGIOUS
FEUDS AT BELFAST.
A FRKNIZED MOB ATTACKS A RBQIMKHT Of
TROOPS.
Lsliabt, Sept. 21. Desultory riot
ing, accompanied by firing, continued
throughout the city during all of last
night. Two polioemen were severely
wounded and a number of citizens were
injured. How many of the latter were
hurt is not officially known, because
friends carried them away before the
authorities could secure them for hos
pital treatment. Twenty arrests were
made during the night. The Catholics
evince a more bitter spirit against the
polioe and soldiers. The appearance of
a single constable in one of the troubled
districts last night was greeted with a
valley of stones. The aspect of affairs
this morning is threatening and more
fighting is expected.
3 p. m. Rioting was resumed at din
ner time at the junotion of Northum
berland street and the falls road, by the
Catholic mill hands stoning the polioe
on duty to keep the Orange Queen's
island ship yard men from coming in
oontaot with the mill hands. The stoning
was so heavy and skilfal that the polioe
had to retreat as far as Shank hill.
Here they were reinforced and drove
the mob back, capturing a number on
the way. While this battle was going
on another mob in a different looality
attacked with stones the Black Watch
regiment of Welshmen, although the
soldiers were folly armed and in fight
ing array. The troops with fixed bayo
nets charged in double-quick time on
the mob and drove them from the soeno,
wounding a great number of the rioters
and arresting two. Still another mob
got into a fight in a tram car stable and
surging into the street threw a passing
car from the street and overturned it.
The car was at the time filled with pas
sengers. The mob that overturned this
car evidently had not intended it. They
were fighting a purely religious fight,
but the locality was infested with
rowdies, drawn thither by the riot, and
when these loafers saw the car upside
down and filled with people they fusil
laded it with stones. The .terror
stricken passengers crowded close under
the seats and under , one another and
shielded themselves as best they could
with floor mats and seat cushions. Sev
eral were hurt. Their situation was
dretdful until the military rescued them
and escorted them to a place of safety.

A Clraad Parade Akudraad.
St. Lotos, Sept. 21. -ole consequence
of a severe rain-storm which set in early
this morning, it was decided to abandon

encampment of Knights Templar began
its session at 12. 30 p. m , being presided
over bv sir knight Charles Roome, of
New York city, in the . absence of sir
knight Robert Enoch Withers, who was
ill. In the opening and publio meeting
mayor David B. Francis delivered an
address of welcome on behalf of the oity,
whioh was responded by deputy grand
master Roome. On behalf of the Mis
souri grand commandery an address of
welcome was presented by sir knight
Joseph 8. Brown, grand commander,
and also briefly responded to by deputy
grandmaster 1 oome. At the conclu
sion of these preliminaries, at 1 o'clock,
the encampment went into secret session,
to listen to addresses and reports of offi
cers. HeW York Cotton raturoe.
Nxw York, September 21. Green
& Co.'s report says: Strong oable ad
vices and a continued demand for actual
cotton at the South, on continental or
ders, gave the market excellent support.
The "shorts" were nervous and anxious
to cover, with many at once going
long," while a sprinkling of new in
vestment orders added to the demand
and altogether made a good day's busi
ness. The gain was 4a5 points, very
well sustained up to the close, with of
ferings limited.

Waae County Republican
HOLD THXIR CONVICTION AND MAKE NOMI
NATIONS.
Shortly after noon yesterday the Wck
county republic id convection assembled
at Metropolian hall. It organized, un
der tho party plan, with J. C. L Har
ris as temporary oh air m in, and William
Mitchell and James H. Hamlin, both
colored, wero ohoscn as temporary secre
taries. A oommittee on credentials
was appointed, and at 12 45 the con
vention took a recess of a quarter of an
hour, pending the report of that com
mittee.
At 1 o'clock the convention reinsem-
sembled. Mr. T. P. Devereux, chairman
of the committee on credentials, made
his report, showing that all save four
townships were represanted.
- On motion of James II . Harris tie
temporary organization was made per
manent. Tho first matter taken up was the
nomination of county officers, Gen. J.
C. Gorman making a motion to that
effect. Of course there was a haggle
oyer the matter and some ludicrous re
marks. - For sheriff, J. Rowan Rogers was
nominated, the speaker who named
him declaring that he would -'beat Bob
Nowellby at least 1,000 votes." A
motion to nominate Mr. Rogers by' ac
clamation was adopted, followed by
cheers and calls for Rogers.
; For clerk superior court, T. P. Deve
reux said he proposed to nominate
another successful candidate. He placed
in nomination Charles D. Upchuroh.
Gen Gorman move to make the nomina
tion by acclamation. This was done,
with the inevitable cheering.
At this state of the proceedings
ehairman Harris stated that Mr. Wyatt
J. Hollsman was present as a representa
tive of the unti-no-fence law party,
and wished to speak. Mr. Uolleman
said that his party was oppressed and
ground down and was tired of it. He
said his party was the people' party.
He said the people's liberties had been
taken away from them and that they
did not intend to bear it. He said that
he wished, to have the platform of his
party read. Some delegates ob
jected to the reading of the platform
just at that time. Gen. Gorman said
that the names of certain persons
nominated by Mr. Hollemn's party
should be announced. Mr. Devereux
said that Mr. Holleman and hi segment
of the democratic party were entitled to
onsideration and should have it The
lift of Mr. Hjlleman's candidates was
read:
Sheriff, J .Rowan Rogeia; olerk, C.
D. Upchurcb; register, B. H. Woodell;
treasurer, R. W. Wynne; ooroner, R
B. Ellis; surveyor, J. Q. Adams, Sr.;
senator, Mills H. Brown; house, P. A.
Borrell, George L. Tinxbifrki, J. if.
Massey, Chtrks Hoover.
Nominations were again token up,
as the regular business. For register
of deeds, B. H. Woodell, Hamilton T.
Jones, Wesley N. Whitaker, Moses A.
Bledsoe.J. P. H. A dams, S. M. Paris h,M.
G. Todd, H. Green Howell. It was
stated by the chairman that the follow
ing precincts were not represented:
Barton's Creek, Rogers' Store; Little
River, Mitchell's Mill; Panther Branch,
; Township House; White Oak, HUliard's
School House.
This gave 31 precincts represented,
and ninety-three delegates, it requiring
forty-seven for a majority. The roll
was called. vv. wmuxer s name
was withdrawn at his own request. The
vote resulted as follows: Adams 31,
Bledsoe 20, the others scattering. An
other ballot was taken, all the names,
save those of AdamB, Bledsoe, Woodell
and Parrish, being withdrawn. The
result of this ballot was as follows :
Adams 50, Bledsoe 39, Woodell 4, Par
rish 0. Amotion was made to make
Adams' nomination unanimous. A negro
delegate cried out "I perject." So the
nomination was not made unanimous
There were signs of a row, but oast iron
chairman Harris held the convention
right down.
For treasurer K. VV. Wynne was
nominated bv acclamation. This was
the convention's quickest work
For coroner Dr. J. W. Alston and Dr,
R. B. Ellis were nominated. The name
of the former was withdrawn at once
and Dr. Ellis was nominated by accla
mation, although James H. Harris said
he had been informed that Dr. Ellis
would not run.
Jfor surveyor J tj. Adams, Br., was.
nominated by acclamation. This ended
the county nominations.
The legislative ticket was taken up.:
For senator Wesly Wbitaker nom
inated Cebern L. Haris. Thj
0 her nominees were Laftin Terrell and
A. W. Shaffer (James H. Harris placing
the name of the latter before the con-
yen tion.) Col. Shaffer returned thanks i
but said he was not a candidate. He
said tho issues in the campaign were
ohiefly those of fenoe and stock. He said
the deciding vote would be that loose
vote which leaves first one party and
another. He was not in his own mind
settled on this ques ion. He could not
say where he stood,, if asked. He had
heard so much on one side or the other
that he had not formed an opinion;
(Some delegate cried out "Let that man
stay at home.") Harris went on to say
that the question as to the no-fenoe law
was that it Bhould be submitted to the
vote of each township. Mr. Devereux
said that Col. Shaffer's statement was
manly. He said he would second the
nomination of a man who drew the
line sharply between a republican and a
democrat ; who ws opposed to the edi
ous ooun.y government, that man being
Cebern L. Harris. James H. Harris
withdrew Col. Shaffer's name. Col
Shaffer nominated Moses A. Bledsoe
JameB A. Temple was also nominated,
bat withdrew his name, while Gen. Gor
man withdrow that of Maj. Bledsoe
The vote was taken, resulting as fol
low s: Harris 44. Terrell 46. Bledsoe
3. Another billot
resulted as follows :

Terrell 57, Har-
ris 0.
Gen. Gorman Said that Dr. Ellis, the
nominee for coroner, declined to be a
candidate. Tho matter of niakiag an
otber nomination was deferred until the
House ticket was nominated.
For the house the following were
nominated : Charles W. Hoover, John
P. Mas3oy, James A. Temple, G. J
Bowers, Samuel S. Sanders, W. A. B.
Richardson, James S. Mangum, David.
P. Lane, Samuel M. Parish, Henry
Keith, Mills H Brown, P. A. Sorrellp
11 A Thompson, James C Ennisa,
John German (the lattef withdrew his
nathe ) The convention decided to vote
for; all four candidates at the same time.
ft was after over an hour and a half
of Argument that this was done. The
chairman announced that the result was
as follows : Hoover 42, Massey 32,
Bowers 17, Sorrell 60, Temple 65,
Saunders 10, Brown 3, Tonnoffjki 1,
Richardson 17, Mangum 47, Lane 17,
Parish 43, Thompson 13, Ennin 6.
The chairman declared Sorrell, Temple
and Mangum the nominees. This left
one place yet unfilled. The convention
took a sort of re cobs, for log-rolling, to
centre upon some candidate. Saunders
and Lane withdrew in fivor of Hoover.
Gen. Gorman said the white republi
cans desired that a negro be put on the
ticket and be moved that Hoover be
nominated by acclamation. There was
objection end so a ballot was taken.
This resulted as follows: Hoover 53,
Ptrish 30 Bowers 2, Emisa 6, Brown
Hoover .was declared the nominee,
thus filling the house ticket. This last
nomination was on motion of a colored
del -gate made unanimous. !
The matter of a ooroner came up
again. Vt. iviis spoke and withdrew
bis name. Mr. Devereux moved that
the selection of a candidate for coroner
or the mime 01 any otner vaoinoy
whioh my occur be left to tie ex -ou-
tive committee. This motion provailed.
The chairman, on motion, appointed
committee on resolutions, as follows:
C. Gorman, Reuben Cole, Jerry
Smith, M. A. Bledsoe, J. S. Mangum.
James H. Harris moved that the
chairman be given authority to ap
point delegates to the State convention
today. The chairman was added to the
list.
The anti-no-fenoe or "people's party
platform, presented by Wyatt HoUe-
man. was rsai bv chairman a. arris, it
