A GREAT EARTHQUAKE

News is just received Of q violent
earthquake which visited about all the
country lying between the Missouri and
the Atlantic ut Il few minutes past Q o.
clock, Tuesday night. Dispatches from
all tho principal points in the MisSiss-
ppi valley show hat while great alarm
was generally created by the shock, but
little damage was done in that section.
On the Southern Atlantic seaboard,
however, gTeat loss was sustained aud
{ many casualties are reported. Charles
ton, South CarUlinl, seems to have
sutf, red much more severely than any
city yet heard from. Tclcgraphic COM
m%unieation with the place which for n
time was suspended, was finally
resumed when the following was ~receiv-
ed.
"An earthquake such rs has never
before been known in the history of
this city, swept over Charleston last
night, shortly after 10 O'Clock. causing
more loss and injury to property aud
fer more loss OF lie, than the cyclone
OF the year before. The city is wrecked
streets are encountered with masses of
fallen bricks and tangled telegraph and
telephone wires. and up to an early
hour it was almost impossible t pass
from one Part of the city to another.
This morning the streets are crowded
with people afraid to return to their
homes. More than sixty persons were
killed and wounded, chiefly colored.
Among the whites killed ind wounded
are: NJ. j. Lynch, Dr.. Il. Alexander
Humlon and Ainsley Robeson. Fires
broke ont i'll diff rem parts Of the city
Immediately after the earthquake. md
some are still burning, but there is no
danger OF their spreading. There is
no way Of leaving tue city at present.
Not TO exceed one hundred houses in
:he city are occupied ut this time. The
people nIe oil cumped in open places.
All stores are closed, and n scarcity OF
provisions is feared, because no one Gun
be got to 30 to the stores to sell them."
The force OF the quake seems to have
eliminated in South Carolina and to
have gradually decreased both to the
North and South; the damage report
ed from either direction, being merely
nominal. At the time Of the shock the
theatres in the various cities were in
fully play nnd the audiences in many
instances rushed frantically from the
buildings, but SO far as reported. no
serious consequences attended the stam-
pediug.

Mr.. Conking speedily makes himself dsliked

of his meals there The club is largely composed
of old men, and some of them, with time on their
hands, are won't to be amiable toward Mr.. Conk-
ling. There are mighty few garrulous old men
whom Conkling can abide, and he has the
knack of sitting down on person in a very de-
cisive manner when he feels like it The con-
sequence is that there are a number of New York
club men who are prone TO consider him with
other than pleasant thoughts. He is great
hand osay cutting things with malice prepense,'
and in his club as well as in the courtroom men
have felt the sting of his words. When he was
living at the Fifth avenue Hotel he succeeded in
getting himself most cordially hated by all the
employees on account of his dctatorial manners,

the proprietors were greatly rejoiced when he
went away. He kept them in hot water all the

may be said of Roscoe Conkling, he does not
