ing OF the Gllrort Brothers. The balconies, win
dows and housetops near the Pavilion Hotel were
thickly lined with spectators, and the adjacent
streets were nlled with a heterogeneous mass OF
star. gazing human beings obstructing the street
cars and suspending tran1c. The performance
was OF the mos. daring and break.necs character,
and consisted chiefly Of walking the rope in vari-
ous styles and gymnastic feats upon the trapeze'
These were received with frequent shouts OF won
der and admiration from the crowds beneath, and
nov and then q shudder and sigh OF relief to hna
ttst the performer had not fallen, but was stlll
hanging to the bar. The performance lasted
about an hour varied by the grotesque dress anu
reckless postures OF the athlete dressed as
clown.
These performances, on account OF the inter-
ruption OF business which they cause, are public
nuisance, and If a man insists that it Is his In
alieneole rlght to break his neck, the Mayor might
require that it should not be done in the busy
streets of Charleston.

TIE JAMES ISLAND FIRE.-We learn from
Mr.. J. b. Freer, one Of the proprIetors OF the
building destroyed last week by fire on James
Island, that the barn where the fire originated
had been locked up, and every light about the
premises carefully put out at dusk The alarm
was given at about ten o'clock, sometime after all
persons thereabouts had retired, and when he ar
rived at the rre, among the first, the flames were
bursting through the windows Of the upper story,
where the IRE apparently originated. The engine
and furnace were on the first oor and the fire did
not approach them until sometime after 1t had be-
gun. No cause can be assigned for the catastrophe,
and it Is believed to have been entirely accidental

TIE SHOCK IN WlLLlAM BURG.

Manifestations OF the earthquake lasting for several
seconds were experienced IN Williamsburg at about
twenty-five minutes past eleven yesterday forenoon,
preceded by momentary darkness. The shock was
most sensbiy felt In the large building Broadway
and First street, by the occupants OF the upper
stories the walls OF which trembled to such
an extent that the occupants ran into the street.
Three persons who in the building at the time
say that they were all overcome with feeling Of
when they first felt the shock, and this feel
ing was experienced by Others some distance OF.
Mr.. Joseph A. Adams the well known New York
artist, states that he
FELT THE SENSATION
at his residence in South Second street. Fourth,

Ond, the pavement opposite the residence OF Mr. Ben
jamin johnson sank several inches at the same
timc and still further northward, on the same liue,

water spirted up from the cavity thus made. Tne

The earthquake shock was sharply felt throughout
the city al about twenty five minutes past eleven
The 0sciliatlng motion WAS only felt In buildings,
where the occupants experienced feeling oi
dizziness, and many felt faint and lew
thought they were attacked with vertigo ana palpi-
talon OF the heart. Many were frightened ana
rushed from the buildings into the streets ~ great
alarm. Those on board OF ships at the wharves
thought their vessels had grounded, and three tidal
waves, each about three feet high were noticed To
run upon the shore. At the State House the motion
was plainly felt, and In the room OF the Court OF
Common Pleas the ceiling was cracked. No damage
was done anywhere that we can learn.

destruction of property and lfe New York and other
cities on the Atlantic coast have hitherto generally
enjoyed immunity in that respect. ON several occa
sions slight shocks have been experienced In some
Towns and cities OF the Eastern States. but they
have not been attended by any dlsas-

reports concur In showing tbat the phenonie
was similar and simultaneous at ali
points. The shock was first lelt al about
a quarter past eleven in the morning. and was ac
conpanied by rumbling noises, the rocking OF build

covered by this earthquake extends from Lake Erie
TO the Atlantic Ocean, including all the region from
Cleveland, ohio, down lakes Erie ana Ontario
and the river. St. Lawrence to Montreal,
