lives we're lost; many OF the summer
T;sitoTs came up to the city this morn

rTScked in many places, and from the
assures issued large bodies OF cold
water. mixed with sand and blue mud.
Clocks everywhere stopped at about9.4O
nm At Mount Pleasant there was 3
General shaking up, but no loss of life.
Tbere are many assures and cavities,
from which fresh water and mud have
come Fine mud or sand has also come
IN tbe surface in Charleston. 1t Is con-
tended here that there was twist or
turn in the motion Of the earthquake,
and that il had not simply an undulat-
ing motion Articles of furniture and
lamps have been found which are
turned partly around, in addit on to the
visible effects of a sim Die wave motion.
The last earthquake shock was ex.
perienced here at 1850 last night, since
which lime there have been no vibra-
tons. The people are just beginning
to pick up courage to come cut. Efforts
are being made TO clear paths through
the streets for the passage of vehicles
and pedestrians, and the city once more
begins TO show some signs of life. For
two long days and nights of horror
women and children have been camping
out il the parks and squares. 1t is
impossible to give any correct estimate
Of the loss Of life and property.
For two DAYS and nights the
people have done nothing but huddle
on tle square. Small detached relief
parties are gong on TO dig out the dead
from the debris, or succOr the wounded.
TlefrSt stematized effort to get at the
facts is now making. The lisy of the
dead recognized and reported this
morning al this time III g. M } foots up

the houses and public buildings IN the
city are either damaged or wrecked.
Even the historic st. Michaelo and ST.
Phillips are so badly wrecked that II is
feared they viii have to be taken down.
Waves IRON $50 o. clock Tuesday night,
have been coming about every five or

Twelve hours, aud strong hopes are en-
'eIt2lltd tina the horror IS over.
