OF the Lake Shore Company at the inter-
section of Main street and the s~tockyArds
track was blinded by an explosion In the
tower That is 80 feet high. Calvin had
noticed nothing unusual, when he wal
suddeptly startled by seeing q column OF
smoke arise at one side OF the structure,
followed BY q deafening explosion. A ~
inch piece Of gsspipe was found, showing
it was dynamite, which was the cause OF
the explosion OF 100 bstteriers in the build
ing. Tbirty.four were broken along with
The nneumatic tubes, which cost 81 900 TO
renajr. What makes the attempt more
dastardly ia the fact that the outbound
Messenger train was due q few minutes
after the explosion occurred. The theory
NJ the police is that the wreckers hoped to
blow nm the tower, and when the passen-
ger train came along TO throw the switch,
and tbus they would have plunged into q
msss the freight cars lining the tracks.
Another attempt to wreck the train took
place last night about 8 o'clock.
The situation In Charleston.
CHARLESTON, Sept. lit was bright
and beautiful to-day, though it rained
heartily in the early morning. The peo-
pie are gradually recovering their houses,
and the numbers in shelters and tents are
rapidly diminishing. There were three
or four slight shocks of earthquake dur
ing the night, but they were rot serious.
and comparatively few persons are aware
of them. The Subsistence Committee has
changed their plan of operating and ap-
pointed visitors for each ward to ascertain
the cases OF distress, all OF which will
be supplied at their homes. The Board
of Engineers Is still at work surveying
buildings, and continue to condemn those
which are unsafe. The latest reports from
points along the South Carolina railway
indicate that the reports of distress at
Lincolnville, Knightsville and elsewhere
are greatly exaggerated.
