Fall Reports from stricken Charleston -w.am of v.tfA Vftrv Heavy many Stores . ai Residences Burned Graphic Account of cue Appalling i Scenes and Incidents. - By Telegraph to the Morning Star. 5 Charleston, Sept. li The first shock of earthquake was felt japproaching last night at 9.50, and before "the people could realize what the trouble was they found themselves being thrown around and their houses falling down on them. Every one ran screaming into the streets, and in five seconds the -city was jwild with human beings perfectly crazed j with fright on all sides You could hear exclamations, such as "my God, save us;" "God have mercy upon us sinners," and the people could be seen kneeling everywhere in groups offering up prayers. ;Tiie first shock was followed immediately by another, though of less effect, but renewing the screams and uhrieks. and from the time of the begin ning to daylight shocks j were felt at inter vals of half an hour, but each succeeding one being less distinct ,'Three or four fires started in -as many sections with the first shock, and . the city was soon illuminated with flames; this leading all to believe that what was left by the earthquake would be devoured by .fire. The Hamner Fire De partment was so well- divided and handled that the fires were gotten under control by daylight. From fifteen to twenty resi dences and stores were consumed. j ; ; The loss by the fire and earthquake; can not - be accurately ; estimated, but can be placed safely at five million dollars, j As f ar as could be ascertained during the night fifteen to twenty persons were killed and a much larger number wounded in all sorts of ways. The loss of human life will fee large, and it will take days to get the accurate number. '.; ' Shocks equally as severe were felt at a distance of thirty-five miles, and have done inestimable damage to railroad and tele graph property. Charleston is now entirely isolated from the outside world. Charleston, Sept 1. Never since. Gen, Gilmore's bombardment of the city has there been such a i deplorable state of affairs here. The city is literally in ruins, and the people are living in open squares and in public parks. There is a great rush to the depots to get away, but owing to the earthquake no trains have been able to be dispatched f rem ? the ! city. Telegraphic . communication is also cut: off, excepting one wire of the Southern Telegraph Co., which is crowded with anxious private messages. v . ' i ' It ia impossible to depict the ruin and desolation that prevail I here. Not a single place of business in the city, save a drug store, which is busy preparing prescriptions for the wounded, is open. . It is impossible also to give any correct estimate of the killed and wounded, as bodies are being constantly disinterred! from the debris of . wrecked houses. One undertaker stated that he had furnished I eight coffins up to noon, to day. Many 'of the dead are lying unburied, principally the poorer classes of colored people, who will be buried by the County. : . ? ..'?'"".' There are not half a dozen tents in the city, and women and children are experiencing ereat privations in consequence. As night approaches heads of families are trying to construct tents out of bed sheets, spare awnings, -of any other material that comes to their hands. The ! sun is about to set upon " another night 'of horror for poor Charleston. . . j - It is calculated that at least three-fourths of the city have to be entirely rebuilt if the houses are to be inhabited. - The compositors of j the News and Cou rier, decline to work; to-night, expecting fresh shocks of earthquake, and the paper cannot therefore be issued to-morrow. The following article was prepared for publica tion in the News and Courier, and is tele graphed almost in the writer's own words: "Necessarily the only description that can be given of the disaster which has befallen our city, consists in a narration of the exr periences and observations of individuals, and the subject being the same and the ex periences of all being nearly alike, the story told by one careful observer may well stand - for an hundred others, with slight varia tions, .Probably the best idea that can be - had of ' the character of the disturbance therefore may be obtained from a narration i of the 'events and scenes of Wednesday I v ui&ui as wtcjr nac , ficocureu lis a Biuic I - person while engaged in his usual duties in i the second fitory room of the News and -, Courier office. At the time-' of the first shock the writer's attention was vaguely at tracted by a sound which seemed to come from the office below jand which was sup-. f posed for the moment to. be caused by the rapid rolling of a heavy body, as an iron safe or heavily laden trunk over the. floor. Accompanying the sound there was a per- ceptible tremor of the huilding, not more . marked, however, than would be caused by . the passage of a street car or dray along the street, for perhaps two or three seconds. The-- occurrence excited no surprise or comment. Then by swift degrees, or perhaps at once, it is difficult to say which, the sound deepened in volume, the tremor became more decided. The ear caught the rattle of windows, gas , fixtures and other loose objects. The men in the office, with perhaps a simultaneous . flash of the recollections of the disturbance of the Friday before, glanced hurriedly at . each, other, and sprang to their feet; with - Duibicu.ijunuuua auu auswero, TV iiaw 23 thatr-earthquake?' and then all was bewil-'- dement - and confusion. The long roll deepened and spread into an awful roar that seemed to pervade at once the troubled earth' and the still air above and around. The tremor was now a rude, rapid quiver, . a that agitated the whole lofty strong-walled - v hnihiino- fta thftiiaTj it vara heincr chaVan htr the hand of an immeasurable power, with .T the intent to tear its joints asunder and scatter its stones and ibricks abroad, as the : . tree casts its finened fruit before the breath of the gale. . There was no intermission-in the vibration of the mighty subterranean engine. From the first to the last it was a .continuous jar, only adding force at every ' moment, and as it approached and reached the climax of its manifestation, it seemed for a few terrible seconds that no work of ' .human hands could possibly survive. The 1 1 floors were heaving . nnder foot, effecting walls, and partitions visibly swaved to; and ' ro, the crash of falling masses of stone and f brick and mortar was overhead, and with out a terrible roar filled the ears and seemed ' to fill the mind and - heart, dazing percep- uob, oewuaering thought, and for a few r panting breaths, or i while you held your . mediate and cruel death, you felt that life - was already part and waited for the end as ' ': the : victim . w ith his head - on -the block - awaits the fftU of the uplifted axe. . It ia nrt nhren tn TTianV tnnn j 1 ' " . -y w 1U tut) - .ct the destroyer ana yet live,- but it is little to eay that the group of strong men iwho - soared -tne experiepue t aoove faintly de ' scribed will carry with them the recollec t tioaof.fhat supreme moment to, their dy ing day. No one expected to escape.- A sudden rash was simultaneously made to endeavor to attain the open air and flee to a place of safety: but before the door was reached all reeled together to the tottering "wall and stopped, tfeelingithat Jiope was vain, that it was only a question of death . in the building, or without to be buried by sinking" roof - or - be crushed by tot tering walls. .The Tipioar slowly -died away in the seeming distance.- The earth was still and we . blessed the relief of that stillness. But how rudely the silence was broken.; As we dashed down the stair-; way and out into the street already ob every side arose shrieks, cries of pain and fear.prayerejand wailingsof terrified women and children, commingled with the hoarse shouts of excited men. Out in the street the air was filled to the height Of the house with a whitish cloud of dry, stifling dust from lime and mortar and shattered mason ry, wnicn, iauing upon me pavemem auu. stone roadway, had been reduced to pow der." Through this cloud, dense as a fog, the gas lights flickered dimly, shedding but littie light, so that you stumbled at every: step over piles of bricks or become entan gled in lines of telegraph wires that depend ed in every direction from ".their broken' supports. ;. On every side were the hurrying forms of men and women bareheaded, par tially dressed, some almost nude and many of whom were crazed with fear and ex citement. Here a woman is supported half fainting in the arms of her husband, who vainly tries to soothe her while; he carries her into the open space at the street corner, where present safety seems assured. There a woman lies on the pavement with up turned face and outstretched litobs,,and the crowd passes her by for thej time, not pausing to see whether she be alive or dead. A sudden light flares through the window overlooking the street. It becomes momen tarily brighter, and the cry of fire resounds from the multitude. A rush is made to wards the spot. ,A man is seen doubled up and helpless against the wall, but at this moment somewhere out at sea, overhead; or deep in the ground, is heard again a low ominous roll, which is already too well known to be mistaken. It grows louder and nearer, like the growl of a jwild beast swiftly approaching his prey, and all is forgotten again in the frenzied rush for the open 6pace, where alone there is hope of security, faint though it be. The tall build ings on either hand blot out the skies and stars and seem to overhang every foot of ground between them. " Shattered cornices and canines, the tons of the frowning walls seem piled from both sides to the centre of the street It seems that a touch would now send the shattered masses left standing down nnnn the neonle below who look up ' to them, and shrink together as the tremor of the earthquake ; again passes under them and the mysterious reverberations swell and roll along like some inferential drum beat summoning them to die. And it passes away, and again ia experienced the blessed feelinsr of deliverance from impending calamity, which it may well be believed evokes a mute but earnest offering of mtn eled prayer and thanksgiving from every heart in the throne. Aeain, far along the street and up from alleys that lead into it on either side, is heard that chorus of wailine and lamentation, which, though it had not ceased, was scarcely noticed a moment before. It is a dreadful sound the sound of helpless, horror stricken hu- manitv. old and youne. strong and feeble alike, where all are so feeble, calling for help from their fellow creatures and rais ine their anguished voices in petition to heaven for mercy," where no human aid could avail. It is not a scene to be de scribed by any mortal tongue or pen. ;It is not a scene to be forgotten when it has been witnessed and when the witness has shared all it3 danger and felt all its agony. '-The first shock occurred at seven min utes of 10 o'clock, as was indicated this morning by the public clocks, the hands on all of which slopped at that fateful hour, as though to mark the end of time for so many who had heard the preceding hour pealed forth by St Michael s chimes with out a thought but of a long and happy life. "The second echock. wmcn was but a faint and crisp echo of the first, was felt eight minutes later, As it passed away the writer started homeward to find the scenes enacted on Broad street, around the Nerm and Courier office, repeated at every step of the way. St. Michael's steeple towered high and white above the gloom, seemingly uninjured. The station house, a massive brick building across the streets, had appa rently lost its roof, which had fallen around it. A little further on the roof of the portico Of - Hibernia Hall, a handsome building in Grecian style had crashed to the ground, carrying down a part of the massive granite pillars with it All the way up Meeting street, which, in respect of its general direction and import ance, 'may be called the I Broadway of Charleston, the roadway was piled with debris from the tops of walls. The third shock was felt auout ten minutes after the second, and of course caused the greatest alarm in that neighborhood as elsewhere. Columbia, S. C," Sept. 1. There were sixteen distinct shocks from the earthquake here last night and up to 5 o'clock this morning. The first shock was fearful and houses were shaken as though made of pasteboard. It seemed as if everything must topple, rne rumbling in tne eartn wasjloud and horrifying in the extreme. Clocks were stopped, bells Were rung, and the damage done to some j buildings was principally by tne toppling of chimneys. Two rooms in the Governor's Mansion were wrecked. There were a number of cases of nervous prostration and doctors were in demand by the frightened people. One lady was prematurely delivered by the shock. Two shocks were felt this morning, one at 8.30 and another an hour later. The tre mor of the earth made one feel while walk ing like a man just off a sea voyage, im parting a staggering gait. Charleston, September 17 Two slight shocks or earthquake nave I been felt here since morning, the first at 8.25 a, m., and one at about 1.80 p. m. Neither of them did any further destruction, j ; ; Augusta, Ga.; - Sept 1. Two slight shocks of earthquake were feit this morn ing at 7.59 and 9.20, city time. ; The ex citement has somewhat subsided. : A num ber of houses have been reported to the fire wardens as in danger, and from all portions of the city and surrounding neighborhood come reports of small damage by the shocks, such as . falling - of chimneys, parting of wails, smashing of crockery, etc. In the railway accident at Sangley's Ford, tea miles . irom Augusta, tne nreman was killed. At the other on the South Carolina Railroad, the train - is in a ditch at Horse Creek, four miles from the city, and the fireman killed. .
