Two young bloods this week called
at Shaw’s barber shop to have a dis
pute settled. Each young gentle
man claimed he had the heavier
beard of the two. The barber, after
considerable examination of tbe hir
sute covering on their chins,declared
against tbe best looking young man,
and he bad to “set- 1 up the milk
shakes."
We witnessed an arihrsing scene
from our office window this week.
Two negro boys were playing “hide
tho swith.” No. 1 went ofi to hide
the switch, whilst No. 2 remained
behind and provided himself with a
handful of dty sand. When called,
No. 2 hunted aimlessly for awhile,
and then, turning upon No. 1, charged
him with having “swallowed the
switch,” and demanded that he open
his mouth for him to sec. Ne sooner
had the jaws of No. 1 opened than
No. 2 planted .sand fnto the cav
lty. .Yon can imagine the rest.

“lay wait” for him. As soon as the
chap began his work Mr. Wilson
started towards him.' A chase en
sued, and just before reaching the
swamp Mr. W. informed him that
unless he stopped lie would certain'
ly-fill him with shot. Thinking “dis
cretion tho- better part of valor,”
Harris at once surrendered, and was
brought to tbe city and turned over
to the Sheriff.

The Earthquake Cause* a Riot.
Mr. John Heins was over this week
from Darien, and reports that a col
ored man was giving a magic lantern
exhibition in one of the colored
churches last Tuesday night, and
that be had just thrown upon the
canvas a representation of tho a9sas
sination of Garlield when the shock
came. The operator jumped out of
tlie window and the crowd went out
of the door. As soon as the first
shock was over an old negro woman
announced that it was a visitation
“from do I.ord for usin’ de church
house for a show,” and suggested
that summary vengeance be admin
istered upon tlie wicked young man
who Imd dared to do such an unhal
lowed thing. The crowd looked nt
it in the same light, and the poor
fellow sought refuge in flight, and
only saved himself by reaching tho
swamp before his pursuers overtook
him, who returned to tbe church and
held divine service by way of propi
tiation for the great sin.

Water Coatraet Increased — .More Hydrant*.
Council, at its last meeting,
changed its contract with the water
company from twenty-five to fifty hy
drants, thus doubling the service.—
The proi*osition made was to ftlrnish
fourteen more, but the Council pre
ferred to take twenty-five additional,
thereby increasing the total to fifty,
which, according to tbe original con
tract, would change the cost of each
hydrant from $60 to $30. The four
teen additional hydrants would have
cost $840, whereas the twenty-five
would cost only $1,000 more than the
first twenty-five. This will make a
j large increase of our fire protection.
On Tuesday night at 9:30 it came.
With no warning whatever, a low
rumbiing noise was heard, and the
next instant a convulsive quiver ran
through the earth, which was com
municated to the buildings.' and ev-
cry house rocked and trembled as
though mounted on rollers, and wns
just preparing to move.
The effect upon the people can
better be imagined than described.—
A great and impulsive fear fell upon
everyone, and into the streets they
rushed, many screaming and crying,
and parents with children in their
arms or following in terror. This
shock lasted probably a half minute,
but the effects, had scarcely’ died
away before another came, slightly
less violent, shortly followed by a
third, fourth and fifth, each decreas
ing in force. During the night three
other well defined shocks wero felt,
while at eight the following morning
and several times during the day
many claim to have felt shocks more
or less pronounced. Near midnight
of the following night two very per
ceptible tremors were experienced —
The exact time of the shocks of
Tuesday night was as follows: 9.90,
9.40, 9.45. 10.00, 10.25, 12.15, 12.25,
5.00.
As might be supposed, it was no
easy task to quiet one’s nerves suffi-
niently to allow sleep, and many a
couch brought no repose to its toss
ing occupant that night.
NO ACTUAL DAMAGE
Was done to property in tbe city or
surroundings of which we can learn,
with the exception of at the St. Si
mons light house, which is quite se
rious. A note from Mrs. Peckham,
wife and assistant of the keeper,
says:
“The revolving machinery was
thrown out of gear, and the light ex
tinguished. One of tbe red flashes
was broken in more than a hundred
pieces, and many pieces wero broken
out of the lenses. A pitcher of water
was in the watch room, and tbe wa
ter was thrown out of the pitcher.—
Tlie tower fairly seemed to dance.
Tlie keeper was cool and ready to re
pair tho damage, but the poor assis
tant was so badly frightened that she
shook as badly as the tower.’
OVER THE COUNTRY.
The shock was felt more or less ev
erywhere cast of the' Mississippi. It
seemed to strike the coast from a
southeast direction, moving toward
the northeast. No damage is re
ported except at Charleston and vi
cinity, which seemed, to catch tho'
full force of the shock. But what a
tale of woe comes from there ! Tlie
shocks were terrific, and the city is
positively ruined. Buildings were
everywhere torn and cracked, ahd
whole blocks lie in ruins. More than
hundred persons were killed or
wounded by tbe falling buildings,
and vlie groans of the wounded and
shrieks of tbe terror-stricken min
gled with the horrid thunder of de
struction. Fires everywhere broke
out train lamps and other causes,
and were but poorly fought. . So ter
rible was'the anguish of everyone
that the tires were little noticed.
During the entire night the shocks
continued, and with each new one
the people expected their end to
come. Every available open space
was crowded w>th people in mortal
terror. During tlie day and night
following the reign of terror con
tinued, and the sutferings of the peo
ple were fearful to think of. It is es
timated that fully three-fourths of
tbe houses of tile city will have to be
rebuilt before they can be inhabited.
Summerville, tweny-two miles from
Charleston, shared about the same
fate, and is a perfect wreck,
van’s island was much shaken, but
no serious damage or loss of life oc
curred. The ground in many places
in the demolished district is cracked
open, and water, mud and sulphur
ous gas issue therefrom. The dam
age in Charleston is roughly esti
mated at from live to eight million
dollars.

Tho Eortlniuake at quarantine.
Mr. Vincent Pcnebad, quarantine
keeper, tells us that things were live
ly at quarantine station last Tues
day night. The marsh hens, cranes,
and other birds came up all around
tlie house, and seemed to tear the
presence of man very little. The
poultry cackled, the dogs howled—
everything was confusion and noise
except the water, and that was as
still as death, Not a fish was to|be
seen or heard. Even the shrimp had
all disappeared. The bird and ani
mal creation seemed to know that
something terrible was about to hap
pen.
