Drenching Rain I'm Charleston.
THE SITUATION MADE VERY MUCH WORSI


BY IT.
Three slight shocks of earthquake were felt
In Charleston yesterday at 1, S:55 and lilo a.
m. Heavy rains fell almost continuously
drenching the homeless people In the tents and
other temporary structures, and making the
situation in the city very dismal indeed. 1t is
feared that much sickness will result, and the
danger of this is greatly increased by the fact
that the city scavenger department seems
to be paraly zed and otfal is allowed 10 remain
in the streets. About 800 tents have Qeen dis
tributed, afOrding shelter to 5000 people.
Mayor COurtenay earnestly urges tie people
to return to their houses rather than run The
risk Of disease. He says: II returned this day to
occupy the uninJure0 part Ot my brick house.
aud in all such cases where return 10 their
homes is possible, earnestly invoke the im-
Where immediate return is impossible by
reason Of the dangerous condition Of the houses,
/ recommend o temporary refuge in the in.
terror OF the state or elsewhere, or the hiring
OF some safe dwelling in the city, q number OF
which are to-day unoccupied. The next sixty
days in Charleston should be busy days in the
preparation for the winter"
The relief work is going on, but the rations
for 1000 persons issued yesterday were given
almost exclusively TO colored persons, very few
white persons caring to apply. The committee
however, are sending out c0mmissary wagons
with instructions 10 search out all tnfirm per.
sons and supply them with rations. The COM
mittee are Also supplying medicines to those
who need them. II is thought that g, 600 per-
sons have lett the city thus far.
The city appraiser, after careful estimate,
places the damage by the earthquake at S..
OOO,OOO. Two more deaths traceabie to the
earthquake occurred yesterday.
