/ THE DAMAGE DONE.
The people are gradually taking account
.: the injury done 10y the e%thqueke and
the damage done TO property is startling, a
limited section in the south of the city is
3 sample of the whole street starting at
the post Office and looking west al almost
impossible roadway of debris meets the
eve. The bnilding of the chamber of COM
meice is badly damaged, a portion of the
south and east walls having been thrown
down by the violence of the shock and the
Building of Walker, Girans &, BOSWELL
has also suffered, while the heavy granite
which formed the parapet of the Ners and
C0sr1er buildingf lie on the sidewalk leav-
ing the slate roof and portion OF the st
tic aoot exposed. Almost the entire front
OF the building occupied by. the cigar store
ssand Smiths stencil sstah lishment was torn
,ou1 leaving the upper floors exposed. The
Plenge building at the corner. of Church
.Sreetwas badly damaged. Most of the
buildings on the street are mbreor less
damaged, but the violence of the earth
quake is most perceptible at the junction
Of Broad and Meeting streets. /
The police station is most complete
wreck. The court house building is badly
damaged the walls being cracked in sever
al places and portions, of the roof and
gables being thrown down. Whatwas one
OF the grandest views is now sceAe of
-desolation. .,' :,
THE FASHIONABLE BOULEVARD
of Charleston presents horrible sight.
Commencing at Broad street one passes
! through block of burned houses, the fire
starting at No. lis, the third building from
the corner of Broad street on the east
side, consumed the entire row of build
,ings as far north as Tuliy Stand
next the Quaker graveyard. The
few houses left on that side Of the
street are, more or less shattered and
gutted. The few houses On the west side
of the street north of Broad street
have not escaped the general fate although
the damage is not as great as In other por-
lions of the street. The immense vacant
lot on the west side of the street is oecupie
= by the families who lived in the burnt
houses and who are camped out ON the
sward with the few household effects saved
from the flames. From Queen street to
Horback's alley almost every house is shat
