Curious Effect of the shock on AMI
nnaIs.-A Fund fer Rebuilding.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept S.-The
effect of the great shock on Tuesday night
on the animals of the city was very marked.
All those who have come to the city from
the country say that the plight of the
horses and other ANIMALS there was pitiful
in the extreme. Those which were stabbed
endeavOred to break their bonds, and fail
ing. stood in their houses trembling and
Shiyering in an agony OF fear. The horses
neighed out their distress in unmistakable
language. and the COWS lowed in a most
pteOus manner. Those of the animals
that were 1T large fed through the woods.
The cows and sheep came nurriedly in from
the fields, lay down in a circle and filled
tie air with their means. The chickens
went to rooSt long before dark and cackled
constantly for some time preceding the
shock. The scene in the market to-day
was cheering and hopeful. The butchers
were at their stalls with their usual dis
play. No attempt has been made to ad-
vance prices. There was quite falling
of IN the number of
OUTGOING PASSENGERS
to-day. This was owing chiefly to the &C
ton of the railroad officials and the city
authorities. 1t was found that a large
number of colOred persons were applying
for passes which they used to make excur-
SiOnS to the country. Free transportation
will be given hereafter TO those women and
children only who have no homes or shell
ter here.
Mayor COurrenay has issued a proclama-
tod reciting the facts of the situation.
thanking the people of the United States
for their substantial sympathy, and calling
TO mic ff,4 l,air
fortunes and bravely meet the situation.
A New York builder says the destruction
was largely due to the poor manner in
which the houses were put up. Subscrip-
tons continue to come in very freely and
the aggregate now Is about 500, 600. This
will 90 long way towards relieving the
present distress in the city, but is only a
drop in the bucket in comparison with what
is required to make Charleston what it was
a little more than week ago.
A general feeling of insecurity prevails
and the residents camp in the open lots
and along the battery. A foul, sickening
odor arising from the assures in the streets
and the open sewers and inlets pervades
the city. There is a latent dread of sick
ness and the most energetic efforts are be-
ing made to clear the streets of the debris.
The receipts so far turned over to the COM
mittee on relief amount to S11O, 737.
