THE SIXTEENTH YEAR. RAZED BY THE EARTHOUAKE The City of Charleston Leveled by the Con- | vulsions of the Earth. COMMUNICATION cuT OFF. rcons Killed or Wonnded By e Adds to the Bixty P the Ca 1 trophe ¥ swror—1he Dist hances Klsewhe The De CHARLESTON, vastatea City, C., Sept. L.—An earth quake, sueh as never before has been known in the history of this city, visited Charleston Iast night shortly after 10 p. m., causing far more loss of lite than the eyclones of the year before. The eity is wrecked, the streets en- cumbered with masses of brick and tangled telegraph and telephone wires, and up to an early hour it was almost impossible to pass from one part of the eity to another. 'The fitst shoek was by far the most severe. Most people with familics passed the night in the streets, which even this morningaie crowded with people afraid to enter their homes. More than sixty persons were Killed and wounded, mostly colored. Among the killed are M. B, Lynch, Dr. Hammond and Ajusley Robison, Fires broke out in different parts of the city, but without danger of spreading, ‘There is no way of leaving the city. The prineipal business portion of the city was de- stroyed last night by the earthquake and hundreeds of persons rendered homeless. Men are frantic; women are beseeching merey from the Almighty and children are in tears. The main station house, city hall, Hibernian hall and many other well known buildings, ineluding St Michael’s chureh, were irreparably damaged. Many people were serionsly, if not fatally injured. Broad street presented a spectacle of the utmost horror. Men with hatehets fouzht violently to rescuz imprisoned unfortunates, Meeting street, from Broad to Hazel, is a wreek and lined with unfortun- ates. Toadd tothe horrors of the scene, many fires broke out and were ineffectually fought by the fire department. ‘The night W hideous with the groans of the dying, sereams of the wounded and prayers of the uninjured. It isimpossible to estimate the losses of life or property at present. Upto 1 m. to-day there had been ten distinet shocks, At 8:25 precisely, this morning, another ave swept over the city, comin the other did, from the southeast and going in a north- west direction. By that time the people who had been out in the publie parks ani open places all night ventured into the houses to get clothing and something to eat. The approach of the quake was heralded by the usual rumbling sound, resembling dis- tant thander, Then it graduaily approached, the earth quivered and heaved, and in three seconds passed, the sound dying out in th distance. This is the only wave felt since ) this morning. It was not destruetive, all destruction having been done at 9:55 last night. The city is a complete wreck. The two most h churehes in the eity—St. Michael’s I are also 1on, and _many other publ ully two-thirds of the residences in v are uninhabitable, wrecked either lly or vartially. 1t isimpossible at thi © to give n correct estimate of the casunl- ties. It is expected that between fitty and one hundred persons have been killed and several hundred wounded. About twenty houses were destroyed by fir Scarcely one hundred houses in the city are oceupied at this time. The peo- ple areall encamped in the open places. Al stores are closed and a i is f because no one ean be got to re to sell them. Two slight shocks of earthguake have been felt since the first, at 8:25 this morninz and one about 1:25 p. m., neither doing any further destruction. The city is literally in ruins, and the inha bitants are living in open 8 quares and public parks. There is a great Tush to the railroad depots to get away, but owing to the earthqu akes, no trains have bee n able to be dispatehed from the eity. “Pelegraphic communication is _also cut off, suveone wire of the Southern Tetegraph com- pany, which is crowded with anxious private message impossible to depict the ruin and i evail here. Not a le i siness is open save drug stores, which are busy preparing preserip- tious for the wounded. = 1t is impossibl also to give any correct estimate of killed and wounded. as bodies are con being disinterred from the debris of wrecked houses. — One undertaker states he furnished eight coflins up to noon to-luy Many of the dead are lying unburied, these being of the poor classes of colored people, Who await burial by the count “There are not half a dozen ténts in the city, and women and _children are experiencing great pri ns in - consequence, As night approaches most of the heads of Tamilies are trying to construet tents out of bed sheets, spare awnings and other material. The sun is abont to set upon another night of horror for poor Charleston. Heaven only knows what it may brine forth, Without violentshoek of earthguake it is caleula that atleast three-fourths of the city will have to be rebuilt entirely, if the houses are to be inhabited. ‘The eity is wranped in gloom and business is entirely suspended. The people generall Tewain i the streets in tents and under i provised she'ter, und will camp out to-nieht, earing unother shock, “The gas works are injured, and probably” the eity will bo wit out lizht tonight, © St. Miehael's chure steeple will come down, lkewise the stegp f St Phillip's. “The steeple of the Uni; an chureh has fall I'lié porticoes of the Hiberniar Lthe station house are de- mueh injury to munsions on the east and south battery. " The portico of the Ravenal mansion is down. Hardiy house in the city ped injury, and miny are so shaken aid eracked that i hara blow would bring them to the ground. The shiock was severe at Suminerville and Mount Pleasant and Sullivan’s island, but 10 1088 of life is reported there, Fissurés in the earth are noticed, from which a fine sand, apparently from u great depth, exudes, A sulphirous simell is very notic Thiree or four fires staried tions with the first shock and the soon illuminated Witk the flames, thus “lead- ing all to believe what was lett by the quake would be devoured by fire. However, the fire department was so well divided and handled that the fizes were under control by daylight, From 12510 150 residences and storcs were consumed. The loss by fire and earthquake caunot be accurately estimated, but can be Lr(lm-ml safely at $5,000,000. As far as could ascertained during the night fitteen or twenty were Killed and a wueh gi ber wounded in all sorts of way of huwan lite will be equally 3 o ata distance of tive wiles and have done inestimable damage o the railroads and telegraph property.
