CHARLESTON, Oct. ga dispatch re-
ceived at 2 A. NJ. report the damage at
Summerville by the shock yesterday after
noon greater than at first stated. Seventy
five chimneys will have to come down.
A number of geysers have been discovered,
where an oily water spouts up continu-
ously. The water has an odor similar to
kerosene oil, and is accompanied by fine
sand of different colors. The people OF
the town are thoroughly worked up
again, and great u%neasiness is felt by all.
The duration of the shock is estimated at
from 20 to 80 seconds, and the force was
so great that persons found it exceedingly
difficult 10 open the doors or get out OF
their houses to a safer locality, and some
cases are reported where persons were
thrown down by the shaking. There was
q slight shock in Summerville and Charles
ton at 1:55 O'Clock last night. No dam
age was done.
LATER-The development Of geysers at
Summerville by yesterdays shocks is cor
roborsted, but the kerosene oil found in
the water is explained by the fact that the
refuse from a creosoting oil factory has
been emptied into the drain in which the
geysers appeared. The water did not
spout up very high from most OF the
geysers, but it is reported it was thrown
up fully three feet from one OF them near
Ashley river. The water is cold as ice and
clear as crystal.

PENNINGTON, Me-, Oct. ga great
fire has ragged since 5 O'Clock last evening.

thing is swept clear, including the Jail,
thence along Broadway to Main street,
thence up Main street to Tarbox Bros
store on the west side OF Main street to
Dupont street On the west side. The
Methodist and Congregational Churches
are burning. 1t is utterly impossible to
estimate the loss.
LATER-The fire which was supposed to

number of buildings burned was 33. The
loss is estimated at $500, 600; insurance,
small.
