8PKECH MADH TO HI8 OLD
Charleston, S. Q., September 5.—Charles
ton is qniot to-day, ana the Sabbath silence
was only broken by singing at the different
religious meetings which have been held
in the open air. Hardly a chnrch in
Charleston is considered safe for occupancy,
and ministers of all demoninations have
for this reason held their services in the
different public parks and the gronnds ad
joining the churches.
It is said to-day that there is no donbt
that the estimate of the Iobs by the earth
quake is far below the mark. The city ap
praiser, who has gone over the whole city
and is familiar with the value of the prop
erty, estimates that it will cost at least five
million dollars to pnt Charleston in a
position as good as that which it
occupied only a week ago. Buildings
which were discovered to bo in dangerons
condition, and parsons who thought they
had escaped without injury, find them
selves confronted by damages which are
shatters swnng open, and are threatening
to fall at any moment On heaps of debris,
for nearly a square in every direction, tUe
people were congregated.
BEFORE THE SERMON
began many experiences of Tuesday night
were given, some pitifni, some ludicrous,
and others heart-rending, while a colored
woman who had spent two-thirds of her
life iu slavery told how her only son, in

entirely beyond their meaua to repair. I
is for this reason that there is so mnch
anxiety.
GOVERNMENT ENOIXEERS,
Two of the government engineers are ex
pected to-morrow, and in addition to these
the Secretary of the Treasury has been re
quested to-day to detail a number of com-
petent'engineers from the office of the
supervising architect of the treasury to as
sist in the work of examining thoroughly
every bnilding. so that the extent of the in
jury and whether the building is habitable
and can be allowed to stand, may be defi
nitely ascertained.
PEOPLE IN NEED OF FOOD,
Tho relief committee, with the assistance
given and promised, will he able very
shortly to provide adtquate shelter for the
homeless refngees, and can furnish them
also with snch food as they require. There
are to-day in Charleston many persons who
are suffering for bread and meat, and
who nro unable to help themselves.
Their wants, however, begin to bo known,
and will be qoickly mot. Government
tents havo beon erected in the encampments
in different parts of the city, where full at
tention will he given to tho sanitary require
ments; but it is calculated that at least five
thousand persons will need shelter for
weeks to come, and it is proposed
to erect bats on tho pablio gronnds,
forthe accommodation of those for whom
the tents will not suffice. Ample accommo
dations bo provided for the colored refu
gees oh well as for the whites.
It can be seen at a glance that even the
gonerons assistance given Charleston by
tho warm hearted people throughout tho
United State* will be inadequate to meet
deqnate
tho emergency.
If Charleston is to be rebuilt,
If houses are to be restored, it those that
are in a dangerons condition oro to be
made safe, Charleston mast have at an ear
ly day tho command of at least four million
dol.ars, to be lent at a low rate of interest
upon tho security of the property to be re
built or restored. No especial plan in this
regard is advocated. There is a disposition
to await in this matter the arrival of Mayor
Courtney, who reoobed New York from K i-
rope to-day, and will he hero Tuesday. In
his courage, in bis ability, in his compre
hensiveness, as well as in his mastery of de
tail, the people have foil confidence that
his pretence here will be worth a thousand
men to Charleston.
OETTIXO AT THE DETAILS.
Pedestrians in their wanderings through
the ruins to-day discovered many new
and in'.cresting freaks of the earth
quake. Some of them were fonnd
at tho residence of Major J. II. Robinson,
n well known citizen. The bnilding was
badly wrecked in some placet, while in
others it seemed to have escaped injury. In
ono bed-room of the house the strangest
freaks imaginable took plaoe. One side ef
tbo chamber oil paluting* were
thrown from the wall with such
force as to destroy tho canvas
nud crush the frames, while on the mantel
a fow feet away, in tlie same room, stood
slender, tall vase which re'ained its perpen-
-i,ci.Ur I .,-.hi 11. On another wall in »
room, two or three small photographs
in frames were left undis
turbed, while within three feet of
them, the plastering was wrenched off and
ground into duat, and the scantling upon
which the lathing was nailed was torn oat
of Us place. A lounge was hurled across a
room and broken to pieces, while chairs a
fow feet away were not even overturned.
In some places a gate post on one side of
the entrance was twisted off, while the
other post, three or foar feet distant, was
neither loosened nr cracked.
THE OLD MAGAZINE,
in Columbian street, a building constructed
of brick, stone, and concrete in the eight
teeulh century, which stood as a monument
among the landmarks of the city, having
weathered three wars and many earth-
quakes and eyclones of the conn-
try in ita time, and which
carried in its wall a shell from a British
gnu fired during the revolution—a build
fug which the oldest inhabitant believed
could not be destroyed by any earthquake

In regard to the shocks, there Is no regularity

plisned by the Oral shock.
Sometime they are, confined to one locality, at

ferred that their Influence on the solid framework
of the world Is of slight effect. One deduction has
been made from a careful etndy, that tbe great
earthquakes usually take a direction from north
east to southwest.
Many theories have been advanced to account for
earthquakes, ot which may be mentioned the fol
lowing: Either by water expanding Into elesm or
coming Into contact with subterranean lava; or
from ahrluklng or cooling down of the earth’s par-
face; or from rupture by tension or hy collision
between solids and a Iquld. They are again ez-
plained to be the pea-age of a ware of eiectrio com
pression cams lug each particle of earth to perform
a vibratory motion. Another hypothesis Is that
thsy are the result of discharge* of terrestrial elec-
tricity accumulated In the bowels of the earth; and
yet another authority regard* them as unanccessfnl
efforts to establish volcanoes.
Thors is much evidence tending to establish
each theory, but as yet scientists are agreed upon
neither of them. It is certain that they com© from
within and It la most probable that they are caused
by the loterna! beak of the earth.
