The earthquake which disturbed
the whole country from Florida
west to Illinois and Missouri, and
east to Connecticut aud New York
Tuesday night, did more damage
than any similar disturbance OF the
earth recorded in the history of this
country. The earthquake was most
violent in the South, and principally
through the state of South Carolina.
1t was a night of horror in Charles
ton. When the sun rose Wednes.
day morning this old Southern city
was in ruins. 1t is estimated that
nearly one hundred lives were lost,
and double that number injured by
falling walls. Many of the dead are
yet buried in the ruins of their
homes. There were over dozen
shocks felt in Charleston and other
points in South Carolina and
Georgia during the night. Several
slight shocks were also felt during
Wednesday. At 5:19 Wednesday
afternoon a shock was felt at
Charleston, S. g., Augusta, Ga, and
Columbia, S. 9. The vibrations
were uotlcaa hla for abOut tvn min
utes. 1t is safe TO say that no one
went to bed that night in Charles.
ton or Columbia. People were not
safe in the crumbIing houses. Just
after b e earthquake shocks IN
Charleston Tuesday night four large
fires broke out, which added to the
terror of the situation. Estimates
Of the losses in Charleston place the
total at five million dollars.

never allow Mr.. O'Connor to be de-
feated without supreme effort on
