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

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

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

besides that the buildings in South Caro

New York, September 9.—At a meet

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

described the misery as touciiingin the ex

be accepted from them in the various con

talk in the committee tonight it is^vi-

They distrust the Russian promises, even

Should Alexander depart soon there will

New York, September 9.—The yacht
race drew a large proportion of the, ope
rators on the street away, and, as a conse
quence, to-day’s market was dull and al
most featureless, trading being con fined to
some ten or a dozen stocks, which fur

of a favorable character, advices from
the meeting at Chicago showing
a reasonable amount of harmony, and the
street is in a hopeful frame of mind as to
tlie outcome. The most important change
of the day was an advance in
the price of silver. There was
in the morning a heavy buying of Kansas
