street for District Assembly No. 40,
Knights of Labor At meeting Of the
district assembly on Monday night, the
Home club notified each master workman
that every member must pay one dollar
towards the building fund. This would
bring in 1900 in short order. But
seventy five of the 400 local assemblies
held meetings on Tuesday night, and pos
ltively refused to contribute one cent.
They said that the Home club might buy
its own hall. District Workman Mcguire
promptly suspended the seventy FIVE local
assemblies on Wednesday morning. 1t
was said Yesterday that members OF lbs
local assemblies altogether will kick. The
members were willing to do most anything
for the Home club, some knights said
Yesterday, but their generosity stopped
short at buying a $40. 600 home for the

S~1ckenlng Calamity.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Sept. 3-Word has
been received here of a sickening calam
iry, which occurred at midnight last night.
five and a halfmiles above Sonoestown, on
the line of the Williamsport IL North
Branch railroad. where a large number Of
Hungarian laborers are employed on an
extension of the road. The shanty in
which over twenty of these men lodge,
caught fire last night from the overturn-
ing of the stove while the men were asleep.
Sixteen men slept on the second floor.
Those on the first and all but seven on
the second floor succeeded In making
their escape. The othera were left to
their fate and were roasted alive in the
burning shanty. Their charred remains
were afterwards found in the RUNS. The
men who escaped were so panic stricken
that they made no efforts to save their
companions. The remains of the seven
dead were removed to Sonoestown to
await the arrival of the coroner from La
porte. The names of the victims have
not yet been received. A Hungarian
named Jehinsky was murdered and his
body hidden under IA shanty on the same
railroad at Elk Lick, a short time since.
When the shanty was torn down. L%ortions
of human remains were found. and a
quantity Of bloody straw. The men who
occupied the shanty have disappeared.

Charleston Relief Fund.

CHICAGO, Sept. Associated Press
dispatches from different parts OF the
country show subscriptions for Charleston
sufferers amounting to $500 OO. News
comes from Washington that Chief Clerk
Youmans, uf the treasury department, by
permission of Acting Secretary Fairchild.
has issued a circular letter to day inform
ing employees that the rule prohibiting
subscription papers in the department
would be suspended in case Of the Chai les
ton fund, and heads of bureaus would be
designated to receive subscription. Spe
cial performances will be given at Wash
ington theater and places of amusement
for the benefit of the sufferers.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 3.-The Neus and
Courier has an article declaring that the
city will begin Immediately to repair her
fortunes. 1t says: Let it not be imagined
for a moment that Charleston is sitting in
her ashes bewailing the loss of her mil
lions. Full consciousness of her loss is
here. 1t is understood fully that far
more than the earnings of a twelve month
were swept away in less than a minute,
but for all this. and because Of this,
charleston is only the more determined to
maintain the commercial position it has
o and is so fortunately situated as to be
able, as well as ready, TO deal successfully
with every department of trade and every
branch OF business
An appeal is made to the city council
for monetary assistance in the form of an
appropriation, but the Nelcs anil f'0urier
admonishes those who extend aid to con
fine themselves in 50 doing to people in
circumstances or conditions rendering
them unable now TO help themselves.
Very little has been accomplished up to
this evening to relieve the city of its
appearance of disolatien. As the eye
takes in a length Of street, it is met by
heaps of debris of every possible descrlp-
ton, bricks, stones, plastering, lath,
shingles, lumber and household and office
furniture. and all kinds Of building mate
rails in a mass. Whole fronts and sides
of buildings have fallen out, leaving the
furnishings in many cases intact. A two
story brick building on State street pre-
senIs an interesting appearance OF this
description. The lower floor is used for
merchandise; the upper floor is a resi-
dence. The whole front fell out, leaving
the interior exposed to view. Pictures and
mirrors are on the walls and chairs re-
main as thev were left by the fleeing fam
lily. Evidently the owner has not gained
courage to warrant his return. The most
alarming feature of the present condition
of affairs is in the shaky condition of
buildings. Nine tenths of the structures
are cracked through and through and
threaten to tumble. Chimneys that
have not actually fallen are badly
carecned and would fall if touched.

quake was felt all along the southern part
Of the city. 1t was not attended by any
damage so lar as can be learned, but it
was strong enough to cause a stampede
from the instruments Of telegraph opera
tors in Charleston, Augusta and Colum-
bia, and perhaps other places. They soon
returned, however, and resumed business.

Negro Superstitions.

CHARLESTON, Sept. st would be
SIMPLY impossible to exaggerate or to de
plct in sufficiently descriptive language the
effect Of the visitation of Tuesday night
on the colored people OF Charleston.
There never was, until within the past
few days, an opportunity of noticing a
public exhibition Of superstitlous fear to a
degree that has existed anon all classes
of colored people since the tremendous
shock Of Tuesday night They fed from
their homes, and as they ran hither and
thilher through the binding clouds Of
pulverized mortar which was shaken from
the houses and arose again from the
streets, they filled the air with dismal
groans of despair and lamentations of ter
rified distress as usual with them in their
funeral devotions. The name Jesus was
most frequently used, and MS il supplicat
ing God. They shrieked out in very help
~lessness and petitions Of despair such SEN
fences as DO, NY Master, Jesus, have
mercy on me- oh, sweet Jesus, save
me, saw, me, Let me live through this
night, dear God, my Savior, y Hold me
up once more, Thou blessed Christ, my
Master, - and other fearful applications,
which intensified the horror OF the situa-
ton aud went far toward demonstrating the
white people, who were also rushing blind
ly hither and thither.
As usual, the faces of a white nan and
woman in the time of danger was n sight
OF sudden Joy in the gloom to many a poor
wandering colored boy or girl, who en-
deavored to stop their white friends, as
they ran by in confusion to supplicate
that they would remain with them until
the judgment vas done. In many an
instance trembling girls fell on their
knees and seized with frantic energy the
folds Of some white lady's dress and fail
ing to express their terror in words with
scarcely moving lips, would show that
they wanted only the moral support Of
friends in their hour OF distress and
