Charleston live up in the northern portion of
the city. and nearly every residence is wooden.
These buildings remain intact The only DAM
age they have sustained is in the loss of chin
neys and the breaking off of the plaster, making
the walls look less and pretty than they were
before. There is no reason why the people
should not return to their houses; there is 10
danger. No one was killed In house during the
earthquake. but all those who died were killed
in tho streets. No one was killed by wooden
house. but all the dead came to their end
through the falling of the brick stores and ware
houses. 1t would be a good thing for Charles

SAVANNAH, Sept 8-A strange incident of
last weeks earthquake shock is the recovery of
the power of speech by Miss Mamie Martus,
daughter of retired officer of the regular army.
At the close of the war her father was put in
charge of forts Pulaski and Jackson, below this
city. While at the former fort, the daughter,
then bright, intelligent child, had an attack of
meningitis, which left her voiceless. The best
medical skill was obtained, and the father took
his afflicted child travelling, but nothing did her
any good. She was dumb, but had all the other
senses. During the excitement of the first earth
quake shock, last Tuesday night, she in her
fright attempted to call her brother He was
frightened himself when he heard her whisper
mis- name. Since then she has gradually regained
her voice, and now talks with perfect huency.
She says she was almost del:ious with Joy when
she found that she could speak. Her voice was
low and her throat sore for three days and she
had trouble In finding words to express her
thoughts. 1t was much like learning a new
tongue, except that she knew the words but had
forgotten how to pronounce them, City ply.
sicians are deeply interested IN the case. Their
explanation Is that the recovery was due to in

Urgent Need Of Shelter.

WASHINGTON. Sept 6--All reports from
Charleston agree that the pressing immediate
need of people there is tents or canvas that can
De used to protect them from the rain. A long
telegram was to-day sent to the President by
Democrats of prominence advising him that
means of shelter should promptly be sent to
Charleston, and suggesting that the vessels of
the north Atlantic squadron be sent there, with
orders to strip the vessels of all their and
turn it over to the people Of the stricken city
Also, to place the vessels at the service of the
women and children so far as they accommo-
date them. 1t was suggested that the President,
cut of from newspapers, is not aware of the act
ual condition of the people, and the dispatch
sent to him fully informs him of their deplorable
situation.

Tida, Wave OFF the Fishing Banks.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept 8.-Capt Clarke H.
Jewett, of the schooner George W. Cushing
thinks that he experienced on the LIE Have
banks, the earthquake that Frustrated Charles
ton. He says that the appearances at that time
indicated high wind, but all was quiet, when
suddenly, almost without warning, black wall
seemed to rise on the water and mighty wave
came rolling in that fairly lifted the schooner on
Its crest to height that he never before knew a
wave to reach. Then the schooner went down,
''like going over bank" Captain Jewett says
and was buried in the foam below. Emerging
from this wave, with sails torn from her and
with the crown work of the topmast gone, the
schooner encountered second wave, but moth
ing to be compared with the first. A terrific
gale followed. A sailor says that he happened
to look ahead just as the great wave came in
sight. There was little wind he says, and the
tremendous mass of water ahead looked so like
great hill that he cried breakers ahead" TIE
next moment the schooner striking against the
seeming cliff, was lifted to the top of the wave
then he comprehended what had happened.

It is not unusual to hear women
charged with selling themselves in
the matrimonial market, but it is
not often the proof is offered. New
Brunswick, N. j., presents an ex-
ception to the rule. Mary Wilson
has brought suit against the estate
of her father-in-law for $780, 600,
which she claims was the price to
be paid for her hand in marriage.
Mrs. Wilson's maiden name was
Mary Agnes Kane, of New York,
and Jacob Wilson, Jr., was desper-
ately in love with her. When she
refused his offer of marriage he
tried to kill himself, and his father
then offered Miss Kane @30,O if
she would marry the young man
on his recovery. She accepted the
offer, was married March g, 1885,
but has never received the consid-
Grafton promised. The father is now
dead, and she brings suit against
the estate. The case is now on
trial.

There is probably no pear so ex-
tensively planted as the Bartlett,
but next to it in popularity is the
Seckel. The original Seckel pear
tree, says the Germantown (Pa.
Independent, stands and bears
fruit, though it is fast Fastening to
decay. It stands in a lot not n
great way from Rope Ferry bridge:
near the mouth of the Schuykill,
on farm cultivated by Mr.. Bas-
tian. The history of this pear
states that the first that was known
of the fruit was through a gunner
known as Dutch Jacob, who used
to make annual excursions to the
vicinity in the fall, and ON his re-
turn used to regale his friends with
the fruit. 1t got out at last where
the tree was, and gratis and buds
were taken off, and thus it became
disseminated. The tree has never
been a very large one. 1t is about
Is inches in diameter, and the
height about 26 feet. From about
Is feet to the top the tree is dead.
The trunk has also decayed to a
great extent, having but an out
layer of living wood, and it will
not be many more years before the
end of the original Scckel pear tree
will come.
