Charleston, September 7. — A very
slight earthquake shook, lasting live sec
onds, was felt here at 11:42 o’clock this :
morning.
Charleston, September 7.—This has
been a quiet day, as there has only been
one shake since Sunday night, and that I
shake ito-dav) tvas not worse than would I
be caused anywhere by the passing of a
heavily laden wagon. Evidently tiie sub
terranean disturbances are working them- '
selves out, nmi hour by hour more thought
Is given to the needs of the present and
wants of the future. There is a feeling of
sturdy reliance that is highly encouraging.
Ko one doubts the ability to pull through.
The pluck of the people rises beyond the i
height of the occasion, and Mayor Courte
nay’s return, too, this morning puts every
body in better spirits. Long belore the !
usual office hours he was hard at work
systematizing and arranging relief meas
ures and ascertaining on bis own account,
the extent of the calamity. One of his
first steps was to constitute as a relief com
mittee a joint committee of the chamber
of commerce, merchants’ exchange and
cotton exchange appointed by the city
council, and the several exchanges are
represented on the committee, and .Mayor i
Courtenay will be chairman.
At the meeting of the First Presbyterian
church this morning It was unanimously
resolved to make a general appeal for aid I
to the Presbyterian churches of the eoun- j
try. Their beautiful building is a total
ruin and the congregation is impoverished,
and contributions can be forwarded to '
Rev. W. T. Thompson, D. D., pastor.
The appeal of the colored ministers to
the people of the United States for means
of relief for the colored people in distress
was .wholly unnecessary. The relief
comniittee ‘treat the funds at their
command as subscribed for the benefit of
the whole community, and as it was given
without distinction of race, color or condi
tion, so will it be expended. Up to this
time more accommodations have been pro
vided for colored refugees than for the
whites, and in issuing rations the commit
tee are no respecters of persons. This lias
been demonstrated, and the expectation is
that the colored ministers will be willing
to co-operate with the general committee
instead of acting on t heir own account.
FREAKS.
Pedestrians in their wandering:, through
the ruins to-day discovered many new and
interesting freaks of the quake. Some of
them were found at the residence of Mr.
J. H. Robinson, a well-known citizen.
The building was badly wrecked in some
places, while in others it seemed to have,
escaped injury. In one bed room of the
house the strangest freak imaginable took
•place. On one side of the chamber oil
paintings were thrown from the wall with
such force as to destroy the canvas and !
crush the frames, while on the mantel
piece, a few feet away, in the same |
room stood a slender, tall vase, which re
tained its perpendicular. On another wall
in the room two or three small photo
graphs in frames were left undisturbed, ;
while within three feet of them the plas- j
tering was, as it were, wrenched off and
ground into dust, and the scantling upon
which the lathing was nailed was torn
out of its place. A lounge was hurled
across the room and broken to pieces,
while chairs a few feet away were not even
overturned. In some places a gate post on
one side of an entrance was
twisted off, while the other
post, three or four feet distant, was
neither loosened nor cracked. The old
magazine in Cumberland street, a building
constructed of brick, stone and concrete in
the eighteenth century, which stood as a
monument among the landmarks of 1 Nv
city, having weathered three wars and the
many earthquakes and cyclones of the
country in its time, and which curried in
its waft n shell from a British gun. tired
during the revolution—a building which
the oldest inhabitant believed could not
be destroyed by any earthquake which
did not engulf the city—is in ruins.

White UiVKit Junction, Vt., Septem
ber 7. --Although (iiis is an off year and
there arc no questmnsof public policy of a
very important nature to be decided by
to-day’s election, it is evident that both
the republican und democratic parties will
poll a vote largely in excess of that usually
cast in off’years. The relative strength of
the two principal parties in the state ex
hibited in previous elections remains un
changed. The main issue for the republi-
involves an election of a United
States senator to succeed Edmunds. The
democratic managers are making stren
uous efforts to poll a large party vote.
There are three tic kets in the fi eld. viz.,
the republicans, the democrats and the
princo’s abdication, and that tin: czar I prohibitionists. The candidates are gov-
