Selentlsts Suj- (lie llnnuer is Over -The Kind ness and (he Story of the I'uiitnln of tho Dela ware. Charleston, September 9.—The city is quiet to-day. The dream of absolute im munity from danger was rudely dispelled by a smart but inocuous shook ofuii earth quake between 1 and 2 o’clock this morn ing. Shelter has been pretty well pro vided for all the homeless, but the ex pected rains will cause much suffering. Rations are being issued to all persons who are commended by any clergymen or -any reputable person known to the relief committee. Charleston will also furnish rations in some way to desti tute persons at Summerville and Mt. Pleasant. There are rumors that country negroes will flock here in the hope of liv ing in idleness, and that the cotton fields and truck farms will he deserted; but this is not likely to last if it begins, as great pains are taken to prevent loafers from taking advantage of the distribution of food by the relief committee. A board of engineers are at work. They And that t lie parapet of the western portion of THE CUSTOM HOUSE IK SERIOUSLY DAM AGED, and its repair will involve a considerable expense, but the building is safe, and lias sustained no other injury. The post office is seriously damaged, and Mr. Spier would advise an instant removal, if there was any available building procurable. It will be propped up temporarily and rendered safe. The old club house on Meeting street is au entire wreck, and will be pulled down. They find tho building of the Charleston cotton factory but little damaged, and en tirely safe with the exception of the south wall of the fourth story, which they advise should be drawn witli iron rods. The massive chimney which is severely cracked at a point about two-thirds of the way up, the committee recommend it should be pulled down hs far as the crack. Professor Mc Gee, of the United Stales geological sur vey, in a letter published to-day says: “I desire to reiterate my firm convictibn that THERE IS NOT THE SLIGHTEST DANGER, of tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, or other catastophid disturbances. There is every probability that slight shocks ought to be regarded as favorable indications rather than otherwise, as they indicate that the accumulating stresses to which the earth quake is so far due, are relieved from time to time.” The city appraiser publishes t he follow ing estimate of damages by the earth quake : The assessed valuation of real estate for the year 1885, was $19,753,700; August 31, 1835, on the basis of not. ex ceeding no per cent, outlie market value, was $20,000,000. This does not include government, state, county, city and other public property, nor churches, schools and charitable property exempt from taxation, which will amount to at least $0,000,000 more. A careful esti mate of the damage done by the cyclone of August, 1385, wns made amounting to about $1,500,000. Of this, about $1,000,000 had been expended during the past year to replace the damage by the cyclone, in addition to which, permits have been issued up to August 1, 1880, for new buildings and improvements the act ual oost of which is reported at $180,975, which from experience does not represent over three fourths of the actual cost. The renumbering of the city was completed in December, 1885, and shows the actual number of houses numbered south oi Sheppard street, which is the north ern boundary of the built up portion of the city, to be 7388. Above this there are about 100(1 more houses, general ly small, which, during the past two years liave been built upon farm lands that have while occupied. Plastering may be restored at some futuretinv . ny ofthe brick buildings have been - pronounced safe in part and can be oc. a bed. I return this day to occupy anuninjured part of my brick house, and in all such oases, where return to their homes is possible, 1 earn estly invoke the immediate and united ac tion of all my fellow citizens. Where im- meditue return in impossible by reason of the dangerous condition of the home j recommend u temporary refuge in the interior of the stale buildihgs or elsewhere, or by the hiring of some wife dwelling in the city, a number of which are to day unoccupied. Such of those who can of themselves put theirowu houses in repair, let them do so without a hour’s delay.

This is taken as an absolute indication of a depression of the earth level in South Carolina. An agent of the depart ment ofthe interior has been instructed to inquire into these different statements.

The question of rais ing a campaign fund was the will, on Monday next, begin work on u new and additional wharf of 259 feet front and a warehouse 400 feet long.

New York, September 9.—At a meet ing ofthe Charleston relief committee of the chamber ot commerce to-day, Mr. Clyde, of Clyde Charleston line ot steamers, reported that the captain of tin Delaware, who wns an oye witness to the scenes of the suffering and misery during the first four days ofthe earthquake at Charleston, described the misery as touciiingin the ex treme. The captain s.id that but one-half of the particulars had o '.-ou told. General a counts bad been published, but it did principal one considered by the commit tee. It is evident that, this Is to no a poor man’s campaign. Federal officials will not lie called on by tho committee to con tribute, but volunteer contributions will be accepted from them in the various con gressional districts. From the drift ofthe talk in the committee tonight it is^vi- dem, that the campaign will he managed by congressional districts.
