THE EARTH'S AGUE
THAT NO oU1SRn CAN CURE,
Charleston once More shaken by the Thross
that Devastated It-sayAnnah and Col,
umbIa Get the Worst of the Fright,
and the Most of the Disturbance.

oHARLEsToN, s, O., September 2l,-A
shock occurred here at 5;l5 O'Clock thil
morning, shaking houses, causing the fall
ing Of loose bricks and diving a large
number Of people from their beds, some Of
whom took refuge in the parks and open
lots. The shock was felt on the water
waking up sailors and others sleeping ou
board Of ships Some say the shock was
the ssyeres! that has occurred since the
terrible shock Of Tuesday night, August
81.
At summeryills there were three shocks
between 4;25 and $3.50 o'clock this morn,
ing, there being rather violent shock at
$3.50.
There was no mistakiug the character Of
the disturbance that oCGuETeed at quar-
ter past 5 O'Clock this morning, II was a
rude awakening for the people OF this city,
but they bore II as they have borne all the
other great tIials through which they
nave been called upon TO pass with un,
ainching fortitude and courage. Most OF
the people in the city were asleep at the
time, but the shock was suiii'
Ctently strong to awake them. 1t
was fifteen minutes past Ave O'Clock
when the shock arrived. This was about
the severest that has been felt in Charles
ton for over two weeks. Houses were
very perciplbly shaken, aud In many
houses plastering were thrown down.
The shock Is yariously estimated TO have
lasted from three 10 ten seconds.
There seems to be some question
whether 1t was accompanied by the usual
rumbllng sound, A gentleman who was
on the second floor Of large brick
building states that the shaking OF the
house was accompanied by rattling OF
sashes, the grinding Of the joi.ts, and the
fall Of plaster was all that hs heard.
The policeman who was stationed at the
intersection Of Broad and Muliug streets
states on the contrary that he felt a very
slight movement, oI the earth, but dis.
unctly heard noise.
The worst feature Of the shock was the
additional injury Of the Medical College,
OF which large part OF the wall fell in.
1t IL now hopeless ruin and apparently
must come down to the basement. 4
shock to-day Is reported also from SUN.
merville, sumpter, Blackyille, Orange.
burg, Newberry, Augusta and Savannah.
Within three minutes after the sh ok
there We're y good many people on the
streets, although comparat vsIy few OF
them were women and children. The
sidewalks have been so cleared Of
debris that most pedestrians had re.
turned to the habit OF using
tue pavarnents. II was observed this
morning, however, that many persons
kept TO the middle Of the roadways while
walking through the streets. There was
little interruption to business, and none
whatever In the work Of repairs, which il
progressing as rapidly as can be expected
under the circumstances.

the most successful ever held since the or.

fairs about it, and yet continues 10 live

solid worth OF Harrison county and It's
county seat. Each exhibition has tri.
umphed over the proceeding, and the last
by universal acclamation exceeded all the
others.
Over three thousand FIVE hundred en-
tries were made, and in every department
the accommodation was not sufficient for
the display and neceasitates the enlarge

ever, being reckoned on Tuesday, the frat
day, as equal to that Of the second day Of
the previous fairs. In spite OF the rain on
Wednesday, the receipts Of that day were
up to the average, and on Thursday and
Friday the crowd was greater than Il ever
