DAMAGE TO SCHOOLS AND’ CHURCHES.
Several Catholic churches have been
seriously injured. Tho cathedral chapel
will not bo used for several Sundays. A
temporary altar will bo erected on the
cathedral grounds, where tho congregation
will attend mass. Repairs will be made as
soon as the condition of nffairs will admit.
Tho Catholic school* have all been in
jured. The Academy of Oar Lady of Mer
cy on Meeting street, the Central school on
George street, St. Mary’s school on Society
street, have sustained sucu damages os will
not permit of stadias being resumed os an
nounced. The convent of the Sisters of
Ms rcy, on Queen street, was also damaged.
Tho Sisters cud chiliren have all been
camping out.
Tae St. Francis Xavier infirmary, on Cal
houn street, was very badly damaged, and
thero were several providential escipes.
Tin* episcopal re3idenoe on Broad
utrW. ia ri.mD.iv .1 uninhabitable. Tho
clergv who were in the building during the
shock had miraculous escapes, and have
since beeu guests of the Brothers of tho
Sacred Heart, and have camped with a largo
portion of the congregation on the cathe
dral grounds. The Catholic Benevolent
Asylum also suffered, but in no instance
did loss of life result.
The churches and schools, as well ns tho
episcopal residence, need immediate re
pairs to render them habitable and to allow
of th&conduct of religious services nnd ed
ucational exercises. This misfortune is
moro keen, for tho reason that on account
of tho general loss throughout the com
munity it will bo almost impossible
at this time to obtain funds hero for tho
repairs so imperatively required.
Any farther information on the subject
will be given by Rev. H. L. Duffy, vicar-
g<-acral of Charleston. Father Duffy was
himself slightly injured at the time of the
■bock, but is able to attend to his duties.
The Holier hospitfd is wrecked, nnd will
probably be condemned, and tho building
of the training school for nurses is seriously
damaged. The hospital patients wore re
moved to Agricultural Hall. The Injury to
the county jail is well nigh irreparable.
Thirty-six paisoners escaped, alx of whom
have returned.

A quick and rather severe shock was felt

crazed, and roams tho street, in a wild way,
Bpeaking of the wickedness of tho earth,
and tho terrible warnings sent by tho
Almighty. IBs fritnds are caring for him.
C. U. Mnrphey, of N. W. Mnrphoy A Co.,
wholesale and retail shoe de tiers, was torn
bly frightened by the Tnrsday shock, and
has sines been nroatrated. To day he eat
on the Aoor of his room, coolly loaded
38-callbre pistol, and deliberately blew out
hia brains. IBs motbor was the only porson
in the honss at tho time, and this shock,
together with the earthquake score, willeni
her life in all probability.
Hearing of this snlcids, a negro, name
unknown, went to his bonse, told bis wife
that he too would end his anguish by death
and then, lo iking h'mself in his room,
made attempts to hang himself, bnt

An c-xciteri stranger rushed into tho
