No earthquake Ehock was felt In
Chal lesion on Tuesday night. There
was slight shock at Summerville
about O'Clock yesterday morning.
The relief committee repor ts 750 appli-
cations for repairs to houses, in some as
high az $1,000. 1t is expected tbs. the
work of reparation, through means fur
nished by the committee, will begin
actively in few days. The Subsis.
tence Committee has reduced its force,
as the number of persons requiring ra-
tlons is steadily diminishing. Three
out OF five of the city rics mills are in
full operation. The damage to the in.
terror Of st. Michasl's Church is said
TO be as great as that to the exterior.
The heavy arches under the galleries
are shattered and the walls and ceiling
cracked In many places.
Nearly all the plastering Is done.
The work OF removing the porticos and
the west and north walls are proceeding
slowly. The Charleston Hotel, Payil-
ion Ho'el, and the Hotel Windsor are
in full blast. The earthq uake shock Of
Tuesday morning caused the front pedi
ment of the Custom House to separate
three quarters Of an inch more from
the main building. and 1t is the opirton
OF the government engineers that it
would have fallen down completely
had 1t not been for heavy timbers with
which 1t 10 shored up. The shock also
produced additional fractures in the
stone ceilings at the top of both the
front and rear porches.

A Timely Hint.

The season is now coming now when
all property owners commence to put
their property into condition to with.
stand the storms of winter, and one of
the first and most important part of a
house to be attended to is the roof.
Often q roof will leak, and the owner
will hesitate to do anything with 1t,
thinking that he may have to 20 to the
expenses Of new one. But this is a
grand mistake, because with one or two
coats Of Phillips s. Ksne's Roof Paint,
you can often stop the leaks which may
result from very fine perforations in the
tin. Their Roof Paint being made from
iron, is equivalent to putting on sheet
of iron all over the roof, aud consequent.
ly will effectually CLOSE any small holes
In the tin.

she was q burglar. One ball entered
the lett side of her back and the other
the right shoulder, coming out below

the shooting as told by Whittemore is
as follows:
"When we retired had $500 with

Where shall we buy our
Dry Goods? Where can
we get most in quantity and
best in quality for the
money?
These are important ques-
tons to be asked at any
time by the people, but es-
pecially at a time like the
present, when a dollar Is q
dollar, and not so easily
earned as formerly.
Most people have to do
more or less planning, or if
you please, financiering, so
that their money may be
spent to the best possible
advantage, and in exchange
for the same, the best value
in merchandise be obtained.
Every sensible person wants
IA dollar to bring in all it
can, either of the necessa-
ries or luxuries Of life, and
who can blame them if they
are not Unreasonable.
We think we can help
most people solve the ques-
ton, as far as Dry Goods
are concernd, for never were
we in a position to offer
such downright good value
as at the present time, and.
being desirous to largely in
CT ease our business, we have
marked our goods at such
low prices as must command
favorable attention. We
cordially invite our numer-
GUS customers and the pub
lie generally to call and ex-
anime cur large stock of
useful, desirable and popu-
lar Dry Goods, at prices
which we believe cannot be
surpassed in any market.
