KILLED IN A WRECK.
Seaboard Fast Mail Runs Into Wash
out in Georgia.

The Columbia Record says the
seaboard Fast Mail, set down on the
time tables as passenger train 66,
from Jacksonville to New York, had
left Savannah en- route to Columbia
and beyond. The night had brought
to the Georgia coast counties the
heaviest rain in years, the precipita-
ton exceeding eight inches. At Ex-
ley, flag stop 16 miles north OF
Savannah, the locomotive plunged
into a washout, with fatal results to
engineer Fred Pierce and fireman
Sam Dukes, colored. That no other
causalities occurred was probably
due to the fact that No. &C Is a very

AN AWFUL NIGHT
TWENTY.sEVEN YEARS SINCE
@ THE BIG EARTHQUAKE.
Wrought panna . $ rive Million
Dollars in Cha. Ord Killed
Twenty People and 3 Ivy.
Last Wednesday was h


sixth anniversary Of the I
earthquake which shook CharlN
causing damages to property agsl;
eating more than s5,000,000 and
the loss; Of twenty odd people, killed
outright and the injury of several
hundred; many Of whom died from
their injuries. All the older people
remember what an awful night It
was. The following from the Char.
lesion Post about the earthquake
will be read with interest:
The shock occurred on Tuesday
night, at 1854 o'clock. On the Friday
morning previous slight shock
was felt by some. people in Charleston
and Summerville, but the people
generally ridiculed the idea o. an
earthquake until the great shock
came which left no doubt of a dis.
turbance of the kind having occurred
The terrible visitation gave no warn
ing. There was a sudden rumbling
noise, a puff of breeze, causing the
leaves to rustic and then the ground
lifted and lowered with wave like
motion and the buildings tottered
and fell, burying hundreds in the
ruins while those who could do Sc
made hasty retreats for the parks
and open places, where many lived
for weeks after the great shock.
To add to the terrors of the occa-
sion, several fierce fires occurred in
the overturning of lamps. The en-
gines had difficulty in getting to the
fires on account of the debris in the
streets and then some of the horses
of the fire department forgot their
training and escaped from the sta
tion houses. The fires were however
extinguished in the several sections,
without contributing very materially
to the losses of property values.
i The cries of the negroes who be-
came hysterical, many believing that
the day Of Judgment had come added
no little to the terrors Of the occasion
with the scenes Of havoc and dis
tress on all. sides robbery of resi-
dences and stores was consequently
occurring. and between protecting
lives and property the police officers
had no small task on their hands.
with the congested crowds on the
parks and openLplacesIthe. sanitation
of these quarters became a problem
to the health authorities.
In many ways and times, Charles
ton passed through an ordeal which
few cities of the country had before
endured. The terrors exceeded those
of fires and cyclones which had sew
eral times laid a heavy hand upon
Charleston and to many, the scenes
and experiences Of the earthquake
were worst than those of<war.
Charleston lived through it all
The city arose phoenix-hke from her
ashes and it was not many months
before the general evidences of the
disaster were completely obliterat-
ed. A close inspection of many
buildings today in Charleston reveals
the presence of bolts, new plaster
work and other work which bear in
the outlines the story of the repairs
Of property and the rebuilding Of
the city following the terrible vista.
