FEAR PASSING AWAY
AND THE EPEoPLEoF CHARLESTON
Dsyotiug Their Attention to the Wants of
the Present and the Necessities of the
Future One Slight Shock Yesterday,
A Hopeful Feeling Prevails.

CHARLESTON, S. g., Sept, There Is a
a general expression Of qualification this
morning over the absence oirecurrence Of
earthquake shocks during the night The
scientific gentlemen who did not depart on
the midnight trains are explaining the
absence OF Quakes to mean that "that sea-
son Of internal shocks" has begun and
that they will now come with lesa frequen-
cy, effect and regularity than heretofore,
Most Of those who slept indoors last night
retired after the pressure OF the tide at
midnight bacsme full and 1t was believed
the critical moment Of the night had pass
ed, The season OF apprehension has not
entirely passed, however, although less at
teption will be given hereafter to the
earthquakes at Charleston than during the
pat five or six days.
The northbound Coast Line express
which left here at l2 o'clock last night
carried away nearly all OF the correspond
ents for New York and other metropolitan
newspapers. General BatChelder, OF the
Army Engineer Corps, and some Of the
sclentists who came to investigate the
damages, departed at the same time.
Some Of the men who left we're yet In
perturbed condition of mind and refused
to be- Comiorted. 0le OF them, a cores.
pondelt for widely circulated journal
in the North, was SO disturbed that he
spent the two hours and halt which he
had to pasg Immediately before taking
the omnibus for the depot In q
ChurChyard cemetery In Meeting
street. He seemed to think that that
place, with It's halOwed surroundings, not
only afforded protection from falling
buildinSs, but lent Hoothing influence
upon his moral nature, He called at the
hotel, where he was registered an hour
before the time for the train, and upon
being told that the omnibus would not
leave until fifteen minutes later, returned
in hot haste to his unpretentious resort
and remained among the tombs and with
the sombreness till the schedule time for
departure.
The telegraph offices have increased
their capacity, and are furnishing frat
class service now. Manager Harris, OF the
Southern Telegraph Company, after moV-
ing out and IN his regular quarters, has
finally located his force In frame struc'
ture near the corner Of State and Chal-
