On Tuesday evening last between

On Tuesday evening last between
8 and 8 30 P. NJ. a slight shock of
earthquake was felt in Rugby, last
ing about a minute. The same shock
was felt with more or less intensity
all over the United States. South
Carolina, however, had a severe vi
station, and the city of Charleston
is almost a complete wreck. Ten dis
tinct shocks occurred during Tues
day night, and mauv more on We'd
nesday and Thursday. About seven
eish:h's of the houses and public
buildings are either completely
wrecked, or so badly cracked that
they will have to be pulled down
and rebuilt. The number of people
killed will, it is feared, exceed 80,
while the list OF the wounded will
run up into the hundreds. The whole
population is now living in the
streets and parks, and all business
is entirely suspended. The loss is
variously estimated from $4,000,
600 up but some time must elapse
before a correct statement can be
made.
Expressions Of gratitude are
heard on all sides for the assistance
offered to Charleston, of which the
suffering people will gladly avail
themselves. Confidence is gradually
returning, but much apprehension
is still felt.

TWO OF A KIND.
One Beat His Wife..The Other
Wanted to Shoot.

Wanted to Shoot.
Miles Smith is a colored United States
soldier, and when on duty is located at Fort
Smelling. He is married, and his wife re-
sides in the alley between Fourth and Fifth
avenues north, off Washington. Domestic
troubles have rendered their married life
somewhat unhappy, and more than once
MI. Smith has let his temper run away with
his good sense. This was the case July 8,
when he came home in decidedly ugly
mood, and beat his wife severely. The
day following she swore out warrant
against him, but on his promising future
good behavior he was not arrested. Satur-
cav night Smith came home drunk, it is
claimed, and proceeded to raise merry
war; in the house. When his wife remon-
strated he silenced her by striking her in
the face and otherwise brutally treating
her. Yesterday morning Mrs. Smith
took the warrant sworn out July s, placed
it in an officers hands, and
Mi. Smith now reposes in the central police
station. He will have hearing to-day
when his wife will appear against him.
About $50 o'clock last evening Officer
Ziemkowske was summoned to residence
on Sumner street. where German cooper
was making things decidedly interesting
for the residents. Some time ago he had
trouble with his wife and she left him.
The man tried for long time to find out
where she was but was unsuccessful. Sat-
urday he began drinking. and last evening,
while under the influence of liquir. went to
the residence of Maggie Frisch, whom he
thought knew where his wife was, and de-
manded to know her whereabouts. Upon
her saying she did. not know, he drew
big gun, and, placing it to her head, said he
would kill her if she did not tell him in
stantly. The woman's screams brought
assistance. and the revolver was taken
away from the now almost crazy mar.
The officer was called and conveyed his
prisoner in the patrol wagon to the first
precinct station, where he occupies cell No.
/. This morning the woman will appear
against him.

SHOULD THE HAIR BE BLUE OR GREEN"
funny man. Mr.. Keppler is only obliged to
work about fourteen hours a day, and he is
debarred from the pleasure of organizing
union and striking for less work and
more pay because he is his own employer.
Mr.. Keppler is up each morning with the
milkman, cropping for humorous idea
which he can make blossom forth on the
first page of Puck the next issue. After
reading through pile of bills for rent,
milk, children's shoes and other necessaries
of life, he feels particularly funny and
starts for his office looking as happy as a
man who has just come within one Of
drawing the capital prize in a lottery.
Mr.. Keppler is ordinarily very hand
some man, but when he is trying to scrape
up funny ideas the ladies in the cabin of
the ferryboat conclude that they will go out
on deck and see how near the boat is to the
dock. He works as hard during the day as
any laborsr whose cause he champions by
touch Of his wonderful pen, and on his return
to his home throws off the cares of business
and does not attempt to be funny. Then
Mr.. Keppler is at his best, and his admiring
friends never tire of listening to his cheer
full humor and philosophical talk.
There are times in business hours when
Mr.. Keppler looks gloomier than at other
times. One Of these is when an old hay
seeder up in Chemung county sends him a
note reading:
Please send me the point of your last car
toon. inclose a Cancelled stamp.
Another time is when, after Mr.. Keppler
has expended three days of labor upon an
unusually fine sketch of an Arab steed, a
valued subscriber writes:
That picture Of a COW in last weeks Puck
is immense. She has too much name, though.
At such periods of his life Mr.. Keppler
tears his hair and groans, and looks so mis-
cradle that undertakes come into Puck Of
flee and look at him SO as to get hints to
use in their business.
By this it will be seen that the life of a
funny man is not all roses, and that even
millionaire may be troubled with corns. In
spite of his grave expression, Mr.. Keppler
is one of the most popular men in journal
Ism and has won we'll deserved success.
His wonderful work with the pencil and
pen has placed him in the front rank of
both artists and litterateurs.

No. Transfers. Consideration

For the same week in 1885 the number of
transfers filed was 1919, and the considsra-
ton S4S6, 694. One thing that helped to
swell the number last week was the filing OF
all the Exposition land deeds.
There were not as many building permits
issued as in previous weeks, still the num-
Der was large enough to make good show
ing, and demonstrated that Minneapolis is
steadily growing Seventy-one permits, the
buildings to cost 1892, 236, were issued,
against ninety-six the same week in 1885,
when the estimated cost was S170, sos.

ALGONQUIN QUARTERS.
The New Club Fitting Up a Hand.
sOme Suite of Rooms.


The Algonquin club, the recently organ
lied Democratic social and political club,
has leased the upper floor of the Knowles
block, on Washington avenue, which it will
at once fit up i'll sumptuous and attractive
style. The quarters will be high up, but
this shortcoming is more than compensated
by the central location. The floor will be
divided into four principal rooms. all large
and commodious lying in two tiers, with
two smaller rooms, one of which will be
the den of the janitor and the other the
cloak room. OF the front rooms, one will
be the parlor and the other the billiard room,
the latter capable of nicely accommodating
three billiard tables. In the rear of the
parlor and separated by folding doors is the
meeting room, the door arrangement being
suce that upon occasion the two rooms may
be thrown into one, which will easily ac-
commodate 400 persons. The fourth
room is the card room, where quiet
amusement and no gambling will be per-
mitted.
The trustees propose to handsomely fit
out the room. The parlor will be softly
carpeted, richly furnished and handsomely
draped-a suitable reception place for any
prominent Democrat who may be sojourn-
ing in Minneapolis. In the card room ease
and comfort will be primarily consulted
and the meeting room will contain rows of
chairs and an elevated roStrum. The bill
lizard room will be covered with linoleum,
with Turkish rugs for the tables.
The club is in a houriShing condition,
with membership of somewhat above a
hundred. The impression has been re-
moved that it was to be made up of either

that existed in some quarters have entirely
disappeared. 1t is probable the club will
never do any great political work in behalf
of the party. but it will at least offer a
pleasant asylum for Democrats and will be
the means of introduction for newcomers in
city which is constantly overlooking with
strangers

OUR SAD HUmORIsTs.
The Popular Joseph Kepp1er Not
Always in Smiling Mood.

New YORK journal.
1t is a general opinion among people who
do not give much thought to the subject
that the life of funny man is continuous
round of laughter and jollity, spiced up by
throw ing off a few dozen jokes each day as
relaxation. They imagine all humorists
to be sunny-faced men with expansive
Wristbands and a perpetual smile.
This allusion should be dispelled, and this
is good time to do it.
Joseph Keppler, who writes a great
many of the funny things which charm
the readers of Puck, and who has origin
ated some of the most laughable
cartoons ever published, is typical
