A Public Benefaction.

How to laundry linen as it is done in Troy,
N. Y, has been kept secret long enough /;
it can and should be done in every family.
The Electric Starch is the only starch in the
United States that is put up by men who
have practical knowledge of the laundry
profession. 1t requires no cooking, keeps the
iron from sticking and linen from blistering
while ironing, and gives shirts, cuffs and
collars that stiffness and beautiful polish they
have when new, which, everybody knows
keeps them clean twice as long. Beware of
imitation. See that the name j. G. HUBIN-

Most Of the Damage Done by the First
Shook-Before Many Persons had Time
to Escape Their Houses were Tumbled
Upon Them-Fires Breaking Out at
Various Points added to the Terror Of
the Scene--Almost the Entire Popu-
lation Spending the Night IN the
Streets and Squares-The Town OF
Summerville Destroyed.
Charles on. September, 1.
A succession Of earthquake 81 o ,ks more violent
than any ever before known in the history Of the
country. has kept the entire population here in a
state of terror ever since 10 O'Clock last night has
caused the destruction of about one-half Of the
oity and the loss Of nearly one hundred human
lives. The first shock was felt approaching at $50
last evening, and before people could realize what
the trouble was, they were being thrown around
and their houses falling down upon them. Every
one ran screaming into the streets, and in few
seconds the city wild with human beings
perfectly crazed with fright. The first shock,
which was by far the most severe, was followed
Immediately by another. The shocks continued
at intervals Of half an hour, each succeeding one
being less severe, until up to 10 A. M. there had
been ten distinct shocks. To add to the terror of
the situation fires broke out in five different
places soon after the first shock, and the city was
soon illuminated with fam es, thus leading all to
believe that what was left by the earthquake
would be devoured by fire. From fifteen to twenty
residences and stores were consumed. The city
is wrecked, the streets encountered with mas
ses OF fallen bricks and tangled telegraph wires,
and up to an early hour it was almost impossible
to pass from part of the city to another. Hard
1y house in the city escaped Injury, and many
are 30 shaken and cracked that hard blow would
bring them to the ground Fissures in the earth

The loss by fire and earthquake crnnot be accur-

days to get at the accurate number. Charleston

THE EARTHQUAKE.

Every person awake on Tuesday
night at 10 O'Clock, felt the shaking
up by the earthquake shock which ex-
tended pretty much over tie
United State, east of the Rocky
Mountains. At Rising Sun TWO shocks
were felt, the first continuing about
a minute, followed by a lighter shock,
one or two minutes later. The first
shock was quite violent, causing
doors and crockery to rattle, and the
bed to shake and quiver under per-
sons who had retired for the night,
inducing many to get up and look
under the bed expecting to find rob-
ber lurking there. Reports from the
south represent the shocks to be
much more violent than this far, and
farther north. In Richmond the bells
were set ringing. and quite q panic
reigned for several hours. At Au-
gusta ten shocks were felt and at
other points four or more were ex-
perienced.

THE LONG BRIDGE.
The Condition Of the Roadway The
Law Respecting tho Care Of the
Bridge.

Considerable complaint 10 made OF the condi-
ton OF the roadway on the causeway OF the
Long bridge, As IL 10 nlled with accumulations
OF dirt, and has In its surface many ruts and
holes. Mr.. c. b. Church, of South Washington,
who was chairman OF the citisens committee
ON the Washington harbor Improvement,
speaking to STAR reporter OF the bridge, said:
ANY persons visiting the bridge would be sur
prised to see the number OF persons and teams
that go across it It IL great thoroughfare, and
since the closing Of the Aqueduct bridge greater
demand IL made upon IL than ever. The bridge
is Kept In good repair In every respect, except
as TO the condition of the roadway" There is
some Misrepresentation as TO the responsibility
for the condition OF the bridge. The act OF June
II, 1870. empowering the Baltimore 4 Poto-
mac railroad company to take possession OF
the bridge requires that company 10 maintain
II In good condition for railway and ordinary
travel. The act then says. "Thai, IL the said
Baltimore Potomac Railroad company shall
al any time neglect to keep said bridge in good
repair, and free for puolic use for ordinary
travel, the government OF the United States
may enter into possession of the said bridge;
and Congress reserves the right to alter or
amend this law"
DIR. Tindall, secretary of the District Com
mlssioners, said TO a STAR reporter to-day that
the Commissioners had no authority In this
matter. He thought that il rested with the
Department OF Justice TO bring the company to
account II 1t failed TO maintain the bridge in
good order.

MASSACHUSETrS AVENUE.
What the Commissioners Say in Reply
to Objections 20 their Plan.

The District Commissioners think that the
project for extending Massachusetts avenue
ma been unfairly criticised. Commissioners
Wheatley said to-day that the objection made
tothe use OF money for this extension, when
many oil the county roads now open needed
improvement arose entirely out of ignorance
of provisions of the appropriation bill. This
proposed improvement is To be made, he said,
under the following section Of the current ap-
preparation bill:
"For sweeping, cleaning and sprinkling
streets, avenues and alleys, $5S,OOO; for cur
alleys o. OF
ana suburban streets, $4,000; for opening and
extending suburban streets, $50, 900: provided
that this provision shall not be construed to
out and opened"
The $4,000 appropriated for opening and ex-
tending suburban streets, he said, could not be
expended on county ROADS and suburban streets
now existing, nor could it be used on the city
streets. II IL were not used on such work rs
that 10 which the Commissioners proposed TO
apply II. the money would lapse into the Treas
of It
Commissioner Ludlow speaking Of the pro-
position that the property owners along the
route OF the proposed extension should pay the
cost Oh grading and improving the roadway,
asked when such plan Tor opening street
mad ever been followed in cases where the open.
Ing or extension had been decided upon as
needed or desirable public improvement.
AS matter of fact, Col. Ludlow said, the prop
erty owners, or the property there, would pay
for this improvement many times over. Now
the land lying along tie route was taxed as
agricultural land on a valuation OF 500 an
acre. This improvement would at once in
crease Its assess d value, and inside offive years
the increased revenues OF the District from that
property would pay for improving the road.
Merely from business paint oil view, he be-
neVed the proposed extension was good thing.
Next year. If the Commissioners have the
money. he said, they proposed 10 push improve
ments along avenues in the city, Georgia ave-
nue., Virginia avenue and others, opening sec
lions within the city limits which are now
comparatively inaccessible. He said that all
OF the sections OF the District outside Of the
proposed 10 extend this avenue, were accessible
by good, well established roads In considering
The Work OF extending avenues into the suburbs
the Commissioners concluded that this eXten-
sion would produce the best results, and SO they
undertook it first.

CARRIERS PLACES.
A hundred applicants for positions as clerks

tural department TO the rooms where the civil

outside for the overflow" Still Accommodations
could be provided for only about 20 aud the
remainder were excused until tomorrow. The
applicants are put through what is called q
"Hnited" examination, being a little less Sc
we're than the examination for the general de-
partmental service. Applicants for clerkships
and letter carriers places stand the same ex-
animation. This is the largest class examined
by the city post office board. Members OF the
board said that it was, taken a whole the
best appearing class No ladies were examined.
Many of those recently dropped from the go...
eminent printing office Were among the app
cants, and among the faces were those OF clerks
who have within the last few months been
dropped from departments on account of
reductions in force, or for other reasons.
