Badly Soared -No Serious Damage
Anywhere.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 22.—The people of
Javannab doubtless telt the earthquakes
that struck Charleston at 5:25 o’clock this
Bitiming anil at 2:45 this afternoon. They
wtre unwelcome v:sitors, the first one,
arriving as it did, at a time when every
body, even the soundest sleepers, could
kardly avoid feeling it. It was the
severest shock that has been experienced
here since Sept. 3 and has created some
co”sternation. The shock was preceded
bv~a deep and horribly distinct rumble,
and wtien the disturbance finally reached
. ae city, houses were shaken pretty
roughly, the shock lasting about ten sec
onds A curious phenomenon in connec
tion with it was a brilliant meteoric
shower, which occurred .Inst at the time
the shock was at its most severe stage. Per
sons who were up and saw the shower
state that there were uot loss than fitly
meteors in motion at one time in the
southeastern heavens.
THE EFFECT OF THE SHOCK.
While the shock caused no one to run
out ot their houses to seek the open
spaces, it had the effect of causing almost
every one to arise and dross, and Charles
ton breakfasted at an unusually early
bour this morning. In a number of
houses plastering was shaken down and
some new walis were cracked.
At outer points in Mouth Carolina, as in
Charleston, the shocks were enough to
shake buildings, bring down loose plas
tering and widen cracks made in houses
by previous shocks, but no loss of
li:e is reoorted from any quarter and no
serious damage to properly. The custom
house here was badly shaken, the western
wing of the building being cracked, and
tne walls supporting the roof ou the west
giving away slightly. The shock at 2:45
o'clock this afternoon is said to have
lasted 30 seconds. If this time was oor
reetlv taken, ibe shook this morning was
twice as long. The waves moved north
to south.
At Blackville, 100 miles from Charles
ton on the South Carolina railway, two
shocks were felt to-day. They were con
sidered the severest since Aug. 31.
The shocks, however, have caused no
interruption b re either in business or in
the work of repairing damages, w hich is
now well under way. Business is brisk,
money plentiful and everybody is at work
and as cheerful as it is possible to be un
der the circumstances.
BUDDENSEIK BUILDINGS.
An accident occurred here yesterday
which verifies what has been'stated in
this correspondence about Buddenseik
work, and which proves that there are
some people in Charleston who have
learned nothing from the lessons of the
earthquake, as far as buildings go, and are
still content with Buddeuseik work. The
house on the south side of Wentworth
street, two doors west of King, was
occupied by Maj. F. Von Santen. The
earthquake shook down the gableenrt and
tbe ciiinineyß, and Maj. Vou Santen ac
cordingly moved out and sent his family
to Columbia, where they have been refu
geeing ever since. The owner of the
house or his agent undertook to repair it.
The gable end was replaced and the chim
neys rebuilt. A day or two ago, however,
it appears that somebody examined the
place and at once condemned the new
north chimney as being unsafe.
Testerday workmen commenced build
ing a scaffold for the purpose of taring
down the chimney. It was a Buddenseik
chimney of the most approved pattern. It
dirt not wait to be taken down, but came
itselt, and in its descent smashed the un
finished scaffold, and would probably
have smashed the workmen but for the
'act that they happened to be out of the
way at the time.
A good deal of Buddenseik work has
Been done in Charleston, even since the
earthquake, and there are some who
think that the first rainy spell that comes
a.oug will undo a good deal of masonry
work that has been done during the past
s:x weeks.

counts, said: “The published announce
ment ot a million dollar disallowance Is
very misleading, and the statement made
bv the Second Comptroller thut Capt.
Mills aud Lieut. Craig were not bonded
is Incorrect. A fuir statement would
have included the fact that these disal
lowances were only based upon alleged
informalities, and these expenditures
were based upon orders of tbe Secretary
of War upon precedents of fifteen years,

counts had been made previously by the

Commission iu Session—Meeting of the
Southern Arbitration Committee.

urer acknowledged the service and is
awaiting results, whioh will depend
largely on the next. Legislature.

MACON’S CHINAMEN.
The Threats to lllow up Their Laun
dry Still Causing Excitement.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 22—The proprietors
of the Chinese laundry on Mulberry
street, just below the Hotel Lanier, have
been excited for several days. Theoelee
tials are Sam Sing and his three assist
ants. A few nights ago a party ot men
destroyed their sign and threatened to
blow them up with dynamite if they did
not move, at least so "they reported to the
police. H. Damour, who has sleeping
apartments above the laundry, and who it
was supposed was the owner of the prop
erty, received an anonymous note warn
ing uim thst unless he made them vacate
nis property would be destroyed. Since
then Ch. Huhn, whose gun establishment
is next door to the laundry, feeling some
what alarmed at the rumors in re
lation to blowing up the Chinese,
notified H. Damour, his land
lord, that he would vacate his
place. It is also said that the insurance
agents are contemplating revoking the
policies on adjacent buildings. Last night
the CUtnese claim to have been again vis
ited and tbieatened, and the matter is
beginning to assume an interesting shape.
Some say it is only a Ireak of a party of
boys to have fun, while others believe
tnat it is an effort to drive the Chinese
from the city.
Will K. Jackson. In the United States
Court to-day, was sentenced to imprison
ment at hard labor for two years for
forging the Americus Postmaster’s sig
nature to money orders, and was

dition to the term of four years imposed
