LITTLE CHILDREN LEAD.
How Charleston Orphans Acted
During the Earthquake.

Edit0r Morning NeUS: During the re-
cent earthquake the Orphans Home OF
Charleston, s. c., Mrs. Reilly acting
superintendent, WAS the scene of remark
able GOODNESS aud bravery on the part of
the ladies' In charge. There are 240 chill
dren in this home, 100 of whom are from
213 to 3 years Old. Mrs. Reilly was I'M
dressed when the first shock came. She
dressed at once, even to buttoning her
shoes. Every child waited tor orders, so
thoroughly drilled and Obedient were
they. Mrs. Flynn aud Mrs. Perry came
TO Mrs. Reilly for orders before N archlng
out.
Mrs. Reilly told them to pass down and
out quietly. The children were all in
bed at the time Of tina first shock. They
passed down and out quietly and regu
larly--almost as though going to chapel
exercises. There was no panic. They
marched to the front gate out of reach of
falling walls, and stood there in perfect ST.
lence; flames 10 the front of them, flames
TO the rear of them, walls falling, and
shrieking, terrOr-strcken men and wo-
men in every direction. These Obedent,
brave little folks then began to sing Sun
cay school songs, closing with doXol0gy,
SINGING it twice. Before leaving the
building the little boys asked the matron
W Nbl lItJ obOult Nlb' sue SVtus Leu us
all get on our knees and pray and down
ali got and repeated the Lords prayer.
As The writer visited them, even yet
amid the quaking OF the earth aud sur
rounded by wreck and ruin, with these
little folks tented in the yard, their happy
cOuntenances and cheerful voices made
his heart rejoice. IL was so in contrast
with the terror stricken citizens, whose
hearts were so heavy and countenances
80 sad.
The conduct OF these ladies Mrs.
Reilly as acting superintendent, Miss
King and Miss Arnold, Mrs. Flynn and
Mrs. Perry deserves the highest praise in
preventing panic. Brave aud courage
Gus, they prevented panic, which under
the circumstances might have proved
fatal to many Of the children.
Mrs. Reilly was written TO by friends
to leave the stricken CITY and come to
them, but she, true as steel, said: mo, |
remain where duty calls me-"
Miss Irving, the perintendent, was
out OF the city at the time. Her discipline
was tested, and surely sorely tested, but
what credit is reflected upon it by the re-
suits needs no comment. r.

C0TTON'S NEW BUILDING.

The Exchange over the Drayton
Street Slip Slowly Rising.
To an observer it seems that work on
the new Cotton Exchange is progressing
rather slowly, but the work that has been
done requires more time and labor than
appearances indicate. The foundation is
just about complete and looks as though
it was made especially to stand an EARTH
quake. There is row of five iron pillars.
eight inches in diameter, on each side,
with double pillars of ten inches thick
ness at each end, all resting on supports
as strong as can be made out of brick and
stone. The horizontal beams resting on
these pillars are all of wrought iron and
are SIX inches in thickness by eighteen in
width. There was some delay in ship
ping these iron foundations and the work
OF getting them in position was slow
and tedious. This is about all nnished
now and the building will soon begin to
make show above the street.

there is a low barometer, and that this
was the case particularly at the time
the Charleston earthquake occurred.

TACT that at the time OF the first snake, on
August VI, the barometer was nearly
normal, and at the time OF the next
disturbance, on the Friday night follow

The truth is, DeVOe probably knows
about as little about earthquakes as any
one does, but he has got to say something.

DE VOE'S BIG SHAKE.
The Basis OF His Predictions for
Earthquakes on sept. 20.

The Basis of His Predictions for
Earthquakes on sept. re.
The publication of DeVoe's prediction
for another earth quake in this country
about Sept. 2G has caused considerable
excite ment among the people. The next
quake, he SAYS, will be much heavier than
that which shook Charleston, and he
bases his predictions upon data which he
has obtained concerning the state of the
atmosphere and the moons phases dur
iuc the recent seismic disturbance.
Earthquakes and atmospheric disturb.
ances, he says, 20 together. The latter
liz the promoting cause OF the former.
Now the normal external pressure OF the
atmosphere on the earth's surface is about
fifteen pounds to the square inch. A Sc
ries OF heavy storms come and displace a
portion Of the atmosphere, diminishing
the external pressure in that particular
locality. The internal prcssure-the vol
canic forces At work within the Garth
seeks vent wherever the external pressure
is least. Result, an earthquake.
lie then goes on to say "that all storms,
in his opinion, are attributable to the
movements OF the moon. The moon, ac-
cording to the very generally accepted
scientific theory, causes the ebb and flow
OF the tide. What Is this but attraction
and repulsionp If the moon can lift
volume of water thousands Of miles In
area and hundreds Of fathoms deep, why
cannot it lit volume OF air? Now.
10 20 back little ways to where
| said that the normal pressure
upon the earth's surface was changed b.
a series Of heavy storms. you will now
comprehend that this Atmospheric
displacement is directly attributable TO
the attraction OF the moon. The moon
causes the storms and then lifts the at
mospberic waves. The pressure within
the earth's crust has diminished pres
