CHARLESTON, October 23.-Dispatches re-
ccived at a. IN. report the damage at
Summerville, by the shock yesterday after
noon greater than first reported. Seventy
five chmneys will have to come down. A
number OF geysers have been discovered
where an oily water spouts up continu.
ously. The water has an odor similar to
kerosene oil. and is accompanied by fine
sand of different colors. The people OF
the town are thorourh]y worked up again,
and great uneasiness is felt by all. The
duration of the shock is estimated at from
twenty to thirty seconds and its force was
so great that persons found it exceedingly
difficult to open the doors or get out OF
their houses to safer locality, and IN
some cases are reported where persons
were thrown down by the shaking. There
was slight shock in Summervllle and
Charleston at 1855. No damage done.
THE GEYsERs.
The development OF geysers at Summer
vile by yesterday g shocks is corroborated
hut it's kerosene oil found in the water is
explained by the fact that the refuse from
the Creosote oil factory has been emptied
INTO the drain in which the geysers ap-
peared. Water did not spout very high
from most of the geysers, but it is reported
the water was thrown up fully three feet
from one Of them near the Ashley River.
The water is as cold as ice and as clear as
crystal.
