CHARLESTON, s. c., September 4.---Tht
great dread now is the approach ci th,
equinoxial gales, which have always beer
disastrous in Charleston. In fact, las,
years disaster was so great as to attract
national attention. 1t is estimated every
house in the city has had it's

by the earthquake. Wells have been rent
chilnneys and steeples are Off their square
and there is nothing sound about the city
Ii an equinoxial gale OF usual severity
should strike the city before eonsidera ble
repairs can be made, nearly every house in
the city would be blown down. The gale
comes as late as the first week in Septem.
Der, but last year it came in the last week
OF August. Thus it will be seen that the
city is in imminent danger at any moment.
This could cause such il crashing of timber,
brick and mortar as was never before
heard Of. The temperature has changed SO
as to warn the people that the storm is at
hand. The effect OF weeks storm and
rain upon the hou~elvss women and chill
dren would be appalling. Six ladies are re-
ported to be dying from

the people are settling back into the melan-

ward with other citizens have been ap-
pointed to condemn unsafe buildings. Berk-
cley, chairman OF the committee, has
entered upon his duties and says he knows
not what to do. where to begin or where
to stop. 1t is freely declared that if u fire
had swept the city it would have been pref
erable, for in that case insurance would
have helped to repair the waste places.

RALEIGH, N. c., September "A special
