THE COOpERS SHOP
Which presented another busy scene. Here
all the barrels are made by hand, this
method being found cheaper and better
than machinery The barrels are made of
ash which is imported from the East, the
slaves and hoops being imported in pack
ages and the headings in barrels. The
men are all on piece work, being paid at
the rate of 10 cents barrel and 81 cents
half barrel As a good workman can
make As barrels day it Will be seen that
he earns fair days wage and this branch
of the refinery is of considerable impor-
lance to the laborers, some of whom make
$3.50 day. Forty men are kept regularly
at work and the noise of their hammering
is certain sign of lively business. The
rapidity with which the slaves, hoops and
heads are knocked into position is almost
incredible. Then the barrels are placed
on the dryers or molds, over large coal
furnace, to get them into proper shape.
This department IS also provided with a
storehouse for the empties until they are
required for use at the refinery. The
handmade barrels are claimed to be larger,
stronger. better trussed and better finished
than the machine made ones and with less
waste. In all they can turn out from 1890
to 1000 barrels every day. From this de
partment we went to

The Output Of Flour.

A Minneapolis paper says that last week
proved the banner one since last Fall for -four
output. Notwithstanding the hot weather and
short power, the mills made several thousand
barrels more than any week during the Sum-
mer. The output WAS l52, ITO barrels, averag-
ing 25350 barrels daily, against 20, $50 barrels
the preceding week and 70,6l5 barrels the cor
responding time in 1885. The weather this
week is cool and favorable for grinding. but the
old trouble-shortage of power-again pre-

EFFECT UPON THE RAILROADS

In many places along the track on the South
Carolina and Northeastern railroads, and for
spaces of several hundred yards in width, the
dreadful energy of the earthquake was ex-
pended in two particular ways. First, there
were intervals of a hundred yards and more, in
been alternately raised and depressed, like a
line of waves frozen in their last position. The
second indication was where the force had os-
cillated from east to west, bending the rails in
reverse curves, most of them taking the shape
of single and Others of double letter placed
longitudinslly. These latter occurred almost
invariably at trestles and culverts. There
were no less than five of them between the
Seven Mile Junction and Jedburg. In other
places the track had the appearance of being
kinked for miles, but always in these cases in
the direction Of the rails

Nine Men Burned 10 Death.

Near Williamsport, Pa, a large number of
Hungarians are employed on the railroad A
shanty in which 90 of these men lodged eaughs
fire from the overturning of a stove while the
men were asleep. Sixteen men slept on the
second floor. Those on the first floor and part
of those on the second floor succeeded in getting
out. Nine were left to their fate and were
roasted alive in the burning shanty Their
charred remains were afterward found in the
ruins. The men who escaped were so panic
stricken that they made no efforts to save their
companions.

spouts are strongly impregnated with sulphur,
and that small portions of sulphur can be found
in the mud. Not far from Charleston, on the
road to Summerville, extensive mounds OF clay
were thrown up, and hillocks of sand, in most
cases in shape Of inverted cones, the hollow
part of which had evidently been formed by
the action of the water returning into the
depths from which it had been raised. In
many cases the erupted matter had streamed
away from the breaks in the surface of the
earth to a distance Of from 20 to so feet. In
other places there were assures almost in
variably extending from north to south.
These cracks were not wide, and extended
downward always in aslanting direction. The
matter that was thrown up was of dull, dark
slaty color, and was mixed with gravel. There
was also little shale, and, in general, the mud
resembled that which is throwa from the bot
tom of the phosphate piles along the river. The
water in some places had the taste of our arte-
sian water, but in many instances it was just
as clear and limpid as from mountain spring.
These evidences of the great CONFUSION are
not sporadic; they extend far and near in every
direction from the city limits of Charleston to
Summerville, and at the latter place it was
found, from trustworthy information, that the
cracks and assures are everywhere visible for
miles and miles around. Strangely enough,
some OF these were in active operation and the
constant shocks that were felt at Summeryille
sent the water out of these assures in jets to
the hight of from 10 to 20 feet. This was evil
IDENTIFY the result of the cracks being filed with
water, and then the sides opening and closing
by each succeeding shock. These appearances
was, OF course, suggestive of still more violent
eruptions, and there was a constant dread
everywhere that there would be o general in
undation, caused by some extraordinary force
of the earthquake.
Near the Coosaw mines there is a crack in
the earth 200 feet long and six inches wide at
the top. On st. Helena Island, off Beaufort
coast, several large openings were made and
piles OF mud and sand were forced up.

his recital Of the horrors Of Tuesday night are
given:

at the time Of the first shock the writer's atten-
ton was vaguely attracted by sound which
seemed TO come from the Office below, aud which
was supposed for q moment to be caused by
the rapid rolling of heavy body, rs an iron
safe or a heayiiy-laden truck over the floor.
Accompanying the sound there was percepti-
bic tremor OF the building, not moro marked,
however than would be caused by the passage
of street car or dray along the street For
perhaps two or three seconds the occurrence ex-
| cited no surprise or comment. Then the sound
deepened in volume, the tremor became more

THE CASUALTIES.

As may be easily imagined there were many
heartrending scenes of death and suffering.
The latest reports fix the killed at 39-of which
II were white and q colored-whose bodies
have been taken from the ruins and about 500
injured, many of Them severely, with broken
limbs and bruised bodies. Ii is thought that
not less than 20 of the wounded will die. The
loss to property will probably reach SS,0000O0
or Sl0000,0O0. Three-fourths of the buildings
in the city will have TO be rebuilt There was
very little shipping in port, and none of it was
injured. The disturbances did not affect the
water in the harbor, although il is evident that
all the shocks came from a sOutheasterly direc-
ton, and therefore from the sea. There were
no signs Of tidal wave, such as often accom-
panies commissions Of this nature along the sea
coast.

AN EXCURSION TRAIN

at the time Of the earthquake was running
along at the usual speed, and when about a
mile south of Jejburg it encountered ter
rible experience. 1t was freighted with hun
dreds of excursionists returning from the
mountains. They were all laughing and talk
ing, when all of sudden, in the language of
one Of the excursiOnists, the train appeared to
have left the track and was going up, up, up
into the air. This was the rising wave. Sud-
denly it descended, and as it rapidly fell, it was
flung first violently to the east, the side Of
the car apparently leaning over at less than an
angle of 45 degrees. Then there was reflex
action, and the train righted and was hurled,
with roar as of discharge of artillery, over
to the west, and finally subsidized on the track
and took q plunge downward, evidently the
descending wave. The engineer put down the
brakes tight, but so great was the original and
added momentum that the train kept right
ahead. 1t is said on trustworthy authority
that the train actually galloped along the track,
the front and rear trucks of the coaches rising
and falling alternately. The utmost confusion
prevailed; women and children shrieked with
dismay, and the bravest heart qualed in mo-
mentary expectation of q more terrible catas-
trophe.
Slight shocks continued to be felt at Charles
ton at irregular intervals during the entire
week. Although these tremors did little dam
age they were sufficient to keep the people il
q state Of constant alarm.
The damage by Tuesday nights shock in
cluded the entire vicinity of Charleston. The
town of Summerville was almost totally de
stroyed, several lives were lost and a great many
buildings were destroyed.
Measures for the relief of the stricken peopl.
of Charleston have been taken in many cite:

Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women
who, to coin a phrase, are only half
alive. That is to say, they have seldom
if ever any appetite are nervous, weak,
tidgetty and troubled by numberless
small pains and aches. In the presence
of vigorous, exuberant vitality they
seem mere pigmies. Such persons are
usually fond of frequently dosing them
selves, swallowing in the course of the
year enough drugs to stock any apo
thecary's shop of average dimensions.
This, of course, defeats instead of fur
thering the end in view, viz, the re-
coyery of health and vigor. Were they
to seek it from an unfailing source of
vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
how differentwould be their case. Then
vigor would retsrn TO their debilitated
frames, the glow of health to their wan
cheeks, their trembling uncertain gait
would grow firm and elastic, appetite,
that grandest of all sauces. would give a
relish for the daily food, we're it ever so
coarse, and refreshing sleep would
crown the tasks of the day.
