CHARLESTON, s. c., September ], IL
a.m.-An earthquake, such ss has
never before been known in ths his
tory Of this city, swept over Charles
ton lest night shortly after 10 o'clcck,
causing more less and injury to prop
erty and far more loss of life than the
cyclone Of a year before. The city is
wrecked, the streets are encumbered
with masses OF fallen bricks and tan
gled telegraph and telephone wires,
and mp 10 an early hour it was almost
impossible to pass from one part Of
the city to another. The first shock
was by far the most severe. Most of
the people with their families pass d
the night in the streets, which even
this morning are crowed with people
afraid to re- enter their houses. More
than sixty persons were killed and
wounded, cbis fly coloied. Among the
whites killed and fatally injured are

Another Account,

CHARLEsToN, s. c., September L.
There WAS terrible earthquake last
night at $3.50 o'clock. The principal
business portion of the city was de.
stroyed, and hundreds OF persons
were rendered homeless. Men were
frantic, women wee btseeching

and many other we'll known puolc
buildings, inclu3icg ST. Miehasl's

Many pc pie were seriously, If not
fatally, injured. Broad street pre-.
sented a spectacle OF the utm ,st
horror. Even women, armed wi h
hatchets, fought v4liantly to rescue
the imprisoned uniortunates. Nee =
ing street, from Broad to Hazel, is
wrack, and is lin, d with unfortlnates.
To add to the horror of the scene,
many fires broke out, and were in
efectua ally fought by the Fire Depart
ment. Toe night was hideous with
the groaus of the dying, the screams
of the wounded, and the prayers of
the uninjured. 1t is impossible to
estimate the losses Of persons or prop
erty at present. Up to 10 o'clock
am. today there had be ten dis

The eLatest Details.


CHARLESTON, s. @. September -
The compC .itors of the NelCS and COt.
rier decline to work tonight expecting
fresh shocks OF earthquake, and the
paper cannot, therefore issue tomor-
row. The following attic WIS pre-.
pared for publication in the NeaCS and
Courier, and is teiegrsphsd almost in
the writer's own words:.
THE STORY OF THE DISASTER.
Nece-earily the only description
that can be given of the disaster
which has befsl en- our city consists
in the narration OF the experiences and
observations of an individual, and the
subject being the tame and the ex.
ptriences of all being nearly alike,
the Story by one careful bssrver may
we'll stand for a hundred others,
with slight vsIiatioGs. Prubab y the
best idea that can be had of
the character of the disturbances,
there ore, may be obtained from q mar
ration of the events and scenes of
Tuesday night as they were pre-.
sentt d 10 single person. While en-
gagged in his usual duties in the second
story room OF the News and Courier
Office at the time of the first shock, The
writer's attention was vaguely tract.
ed by sound which seemed to come
from the office below and which WIS
supposed for moment to bs caused
by the rapid rolling of heavy rody,
ss an iron safe or heavily laden truck,
over the floor. Accompanying the
sound was a percep IDLE tremOr Of the
building, not more marked, however,
ttan would be caused by the passage
OF street car or diay along the street,
For perhaps two or three seconds the
occurrence excited no surprise or
comment. Then by swift dsGre,7, or
perhaps ell at once, 1t is Difficult. to
say which, the eound deepened in
volume, the temor became more de-
cided, the ear caught the rate OF
window eashes, gas fixtures and other
loose objects. The men in offices,
with, perhaps, a simultaneous fash OF
recollections Of the disturbance of the
Friday before, glanced hurriedly at
each other and sprang to their feet
with startled quettions aud answers
Whats that" Earthquake ?" and
then all was
BEwILDBRMRNT AND CONFUSION.
Then the long roll deepened and
spread until an awfurl roar, that
seemed to pervade at once the troub-
led earth and the still air above and
around. The tremer was now a rude,
rapid quiver that aeitated the whole
lofty, strong walled building as though
1t were being shaken by the hand Of
sn immessurable power with intent
to tear its joints ssunder and scs tier
i stones and bricks abroad as a tree
casts its over rlpened fruit bafors the
breath Of the gale. There was no in
termlssion in the vibration Of the
mighty subteranean 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

StiII Another wave.

CHARLESTON, S. o., September IL
p.m.-At S.25 o'clock am. precisely
this morning another wave swept over
the city, coming, as the other did, from
the southea.t, and going ina north
westerly direction. BY that time the
people who hsd been out on the pub
lie parks and open places all night had
ventured into Their houses to get
clothing and something to eat. The
approach of ths quake was heraldsd
by the usual rumbliug sound resen-
bling distant thunder. Then it grad
ualy approached the earth, quiverei
and heaved, and in three secon 10 it
had passed, the sound dying out in
the distance. Tlis is the only wave
felt since 2:30 o'clock his morning. IL
was not destructive, all the dettruc
tion having BEEN done at 9:55 o'clock
last night. The city ia complete

Philips Church, two of the most his.
toric churches in the city, ara in rnins,
as is also the II berniau Hall. The
Police Station and macy other public
buildings, and fully two-thirds OF the
residences ia the city, are uninhsbit-
able-wrecked eli her totally or par
TALLY.
1t is impossible at this tins to give
a correct estimate of the casualties. 1t
is expected that between fifty and
hundred persons have been killed and
several hundred wounded. At the
time Of the first shock fires broke out
in five different parts of the city.
About twenty houses were destroyed
by fire. Scarcely hundred houses in
the city are occupied a. this time. The
people are all encamped in the open
places. All the stores are closed and
scarcity OF provisions is feared, not
from want of provisions, bat because
no one can be got to reach the stores
to sell them.
The city is wrapped in g'oom and
business suspended. People generally
remain in the streets, 10 tents, and
under improvised shelters and will
camp out tonight, fearing another
shock. The gas works are injured,
and probably the city win be without
light tonight. 81. Michsel's Church
is shattered and the steeple will come
down, likewise the steepls OF st. Phil
lips. The steeple Of the Unitarian
Church has faleu. The porticos Of
Hibernian Hall and the main station
house are demolished There is much

CAPT DAws,N's EXPERIENCE.
The efiecs OF the Ctquaxs can be
jndge1 by theexpetienCe # Capt DaS-
son, of the News and Courier, who lives
in a massive brick residence in Bull
sire ct near Rutl, &c street, capt Daw-
son was in his room on the sec nd
story when the first shock occurred.
The houss eeemed literally to turO on
is AXIS. The fir shock WAS followed
by q second and third, less severe than
thu fIet. The air was flied with cries
and shriebs OF women and children.
From every side Of thst quiet neigh
borhood came the cry, "God, help
usw "God, save us 70 ooh, my GodW %
II was worse than the worst agony OF
war. When the first agony was over
it was found that the ceiling of every
room in the house was cracked, the
big cistern was broken sp9rt, the
huge tauk in the attic was pouring
it's food OF water into the bedrooms.
In tho parlors the statues had been
wrenched from their bases and
thrown TO the floor. In the hall the
ulaBSlVO lamp uhj hCbuhIly oSbu
turned around. In front Of the house
was lsrSe porch, with heavy pillars
and solid marble steps. All this was
swept away as though II had been
shaved off with razsr. And what
was Capt. Dawson's experience was
that Of hundreds OF others in Charles
ton. There were, in all, five shocks,
diminishing in violence from the
frs.
WHAT A sCRNR WAS THERE,
The sidewalks in the streets were
lined with mothers, wives and dau0h-
ttrs, with their .prote ctors, awaiting
in anxious expectation still another
agony. The air was thick with horrid
rumors, and the livid elar ,'of the FIRE
but heightened the general ruin.
Among the casualties are the follow
ing: Mrs. Williams jumped from the
second storv Of her residences at the
corner of Wentworth aad Meetiug
sreets, injuring her spine badly; Mrs.
+ Galiot, eoloTed, was struck by q
b'ick, opposite the Pavilion Hotel, and
her head was badly injuted; her
daughter wss also badly hurt in the

Funeral of DIR. MorreII,

The funeral of DR.. Joseph S. Morrell took
place yesterday afternoon and was very
largely attended by relatives and friends,
many of them prominent residents of Brook
Ign, N. Y, and this city. The floral tributes
were beautiful. Mrs. E. S.. Wheeler and
Mrs. Thomas g. Bennett sent large wreath;
Mrs. Mackey a sheaf of wheat and sickle;
Mrs. E. Y. Foote, cut flowers; and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Rowe a large piece. The bearers
were Messrs. N. W. Merwin, Ruel P. Cowles,
Hiram Gray, DIR. Darlington, Edward Bryan
and E. Batchelder. The services, which
were very impressive, were conducted by
Rev. Dr. Mclean of the College street church.
Mr. Edwin Rowe was master of ceremonies.
Interment was in the old cemetery. The au-
topsy made in the case of deceased by Drs.
Cheney and Bissell, in accordance with his
wish, showed that he must have been trou-
bled for some time with fatty degeneration
of the heart. The deceased was citizen
who will be missed in the community, and
who leaves a name and memory that will be
warmly cherished in many hearts.
