A number of offi clals and gentlemen resident here n ave rela tives living in the shattered city, and having been in receipt of private telegrams from them have all day been surrounded by curi- ous and sympathetic friends, anxious to share the tidings received. Although no ap peals for aid have been received, public sym- pathy n the deveral departments, anxious to take some substantial form, has prompted the starting of funds for the reliet of the sufferers, should it be found necessary to sunply the eity from without. in the oftice of the comptroller of the currency (Mr. Trenholm’s family are now in Charleston) a fund started this after: noon reached $57.50 before 4 ock, and other bureaus began subseribing lists this afternoon. U'he Evening Critic has a fund under way, and in several of the banks and large business institutions a generous spirit evinced itself in offers to contribute from employes, The department oflicials stand ady to extend government aid whenever needed, and the treasury department has already ordered two revenue cutters of the southern distriets to Wilmington to await the orders of the relief committee for Charleston.

The massive portico of St. Michael's is wrenched from the body of the church ana the erack in the main building extends to the founda- tion. Allor the portico of Bishop Nortl rup’s residence 15 swept away. The Charle: ton hotel loses the ceilings and part of the coping. The German artillery hall is some- what injured. The waterworks building and reservoir are injured. ‘The injury to St. Phillips’ church is almost undeseribable. Sev- eral arches of the spire above the clock tower are torn down and thrown ont. On Sullivan's island the shock was severe, but comparatively li ttle injury was done. No lives were lost. Many of the summer visit- ors came to the city this morning, ‘The last earthquake shock was exverienced here at 11:50 last night, since which time there haye been no vibrations. T'ne people are just beginning to pick up courage to come out. Efforts are being made to clear paths through the ts for the passage of ye- hicles anda pedestrians, and - the city once more begins to show some signs of life, For two long days and nights of Lorror, women and ehildrén bave been camping out in parks and squares. The earthquake swept over the cl(f’ ¢ a besom of destruction, &l i8 impossibie to give any correct estimate of the loss of life and property. For two days and nights the people bave done nothing but huddle in the square. Small detached relief parties are going out to dig out the dead from the debris or suceor the wounded. The first systematic effort to get at the facts is now being made, The list of dead recog- nized and revorted this morning foots up to sixteen and the search has only commenced. ‘The list of wounded will go into the hundreds. About sevei-eizhts of the Kouses or public buildings are either dam- aged or wrecked. The waves from 9:55 Tues- day night have been coming every five or six hours, There has been none now for twelve hours and stroni hopes are entertained that the horror is about over. A special to the News and Courler from voints in South Carolinga, ranging from tho extreme northwest to the sea coast, reports several shocks of earthquake, with more or less damage to proprrty. though without loss of life so far as 55 known, In Orang burg the people became so alurmed that many woved to Columbia, As the details of the ealamity in this city are gathered, its effects become more and more alarming.

The ofticial total of deaths is thirty-two, and the wounded will probably number 100! Business is still suspended, the whole att. tion of the people being given to providing for the homeless, Bricklayers have advanced their rates to six dollars per day. The city council will ,u’nb:\bly meet to-morrow to provide measures for relieying the poor, Expressions of grati- tude are heard on all sides for the assistance offered to Charleston of ‘which the suffering people will eladly avail themselyes, Confi- dence 18 gradually returning, but much ap- prehension is still felt. ‘T'he people are gradually takinz account of the details of the injury worked by the earth- guake, and the list of damage to property is startlivg, A limited section in the south’ of the city 15 a sample of the whole. Standing at the postoftice and looking west, an_almost finpassable roadway of debris meets the eye, The building of thé chamb of commerce” is badly damaged, a portion of the south and -~ east walls having been thrown down by the violence of the shock, and the build- ings of Walker, Evans & Bogswell have also suffered, while heavy granite slabs whieh formed the parapet of the News and Courier building lie upon the sidewalk, leaving the #late roof and a portion of the ‘attic floor ex- posed. Most of the buildings on the street are more or less damaged, but the violence of the earthquake is most perceptible at the his- torie intersection of Broa nd Meeting streets. The police station is almost a com- lete wreck, ‘T'he upper edge of the wall has n torn down and that of the north wall has fallen on the roof of the porch, carrying It away and leaving only the large fluted rllh\n standing. The city hall apparently eseaped serious damage, but is badly eracked on the east wall, and the court house building is badly dawaged, the walls being cracked in several places and portions of the roof and eables being thrown down, Tho fireproof building seems to stand as a roek. The gables the north and south yorchies, however, wade of solid browu stone, have been thrown to the pavement below. I'his appears to be the only damage done to the building.

They extend far and near in every direction, from the city limiis of ~Charleston to Summerville, and at the latter place it was found from trustworthy information that cracks and fis- sures are everywhe visible for miles and miles around. Strangely enough some of these were in active aperation, and constant shocks that were feltat Summerville sent the water out of these fissures in jets to ‘the height of from fifteen to twenty feet, This was evidently the resilt —of the cracks being fillea with water and_ then the sides opening and closing by each su ceeding shock.

The Bulzarian Situation and the Posi- tion of the Powers. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 1.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.]—I have just interviewed a representative of one of ereat powers, who is much interested in the solution of the Bulgarian question. He con- siders the situation to be much improved, owing to the return of the prince and the firm attitude of the Bulgari Whether Russia has given special assurances to the stiltan or not he finds the porte to-day u festing much less anxiety. The prevalent opinion among the ministers is that THE CRISIS WILL END without any overt act on the part of Russia endangering Buropean peace. He thinks that Russia,seeing the great failure of its coup d etat in orderto give force to the same, will not oppose the prince’s resumption of power for the present. fearing to force the storm of indignation that an attempt to co- erce Bulgaria would rise throughout Europ The British government is strongly support- ing the prince, and I have ground for beliey- ing that the queen’s strong sympathy with the Battenberg family may lead to a more than moral support, if necessary for the maintenance of the prince’s position. THE BRITISI AMBASSADOR endeavored unsuceesstully to persuade the porte to adopt an independ ent action, basing her policy upon Europe’s recognition of her uzerain ty, but the sultan’s advises still see safely only in clinging to that worn out support. the concert of the great powers. The sultan’s decade of Russia overweighs all other consideration, THE GERMAN AMBASSADOR, here, at first expressed views so adverse to the re-instatement of the prince that the be- lief has becn entertained in - certain quarters that the prince was only allowed to return in order to retire honorably later on, after hay- ing chastened the author of the coup detat, ‘The prevalent belief at first among the Ger- man officials was that Bismarck has agreed to sacrifice the prince for the maintenanee of peace, and that the same considerations still held good. Butany such method employed would have BOUSED SUCH INDIGNATION as to render necessary appointment in the execution of such an idea, The future, how- ever, belongs to the prince and Bulgarians, unless he retires of his own free will or by the adverse vote of a general assembly re- quiring his abdication, It would seem that Russia will remain a strictly inactive specta tor, unless coerced into action by one or other of the great powers. 1 give these views as coming from an important source, Aleck to Aleck.

Large local stocks of pork apd meats have made the market full of attraction to sellers, and trade has been bearish for two or three months, It is said now that Armour has been buying steadily since the 1st of July and that the short inter- est is Iarge at the present writing. Armour professes ignorance as to the existence of any short interest, but to a reporter he said this morning that he “thowght very well of hog products. Stocks of pork and meats aro in good hands,” he observed, smilingly, “Hog produets will find their way into consumptiv channels rapidly. We had an order to-day for 2,000,000 pounds of ments. Stocks will shrink with great rapidity. We are friendly to hog products on their merits for reasons which I have outlined in a private civeular addressed to our agents this morning. Our house is not direetly interested to a large extent in lard, but our friends are, and we think well of that, too, You may have noticed that no lard from this hou: vas delivered yesterday. 1 will confy that we are lmige holders of pork and meats, which will be wanted by consumers., We treat our customers well, and sometimes try to make it especially azreeable for them to do business with us by helping them to make a little money. We are honest believers in higher prices, not only for September and October, but for nextyear. We have bought more largely of January pork than any other month and expect a good d of money, and expect to make a good deal of money ont of it.” ‘The circular alluded to, and to which the firm’s nawe is attached, 1s given below : ‘The object of this letter is to call your at- tention to the general sizns of the times and their favorable bearing upon the provision trade, and we oxpress the hope that the facts submitted may asslst you in your contact with your customers and be of benefitto them also In their distribution of business, We re firm believers in hizher prices for hoy produets and we base it on the healthy ouf look and condition of trade generall In the south a good common erop is assured, which means a liberal demand for provis- ions of all kinds frow that section. The corn crop is finally ded to be larcely short, not over 65 per cent of a_ full average, which coundition always brings higher prices for hogs, and consequently for their yarious pro- ducts. The exports of provisions during the past year are largely in excess of those of the preceding year, and the stoeks of hog pro- duets throughout the country are very light, especially at interior packing points. Lake freights are firm and advancing, because ves sels are busy transporting n and othe ores, which indicates the working of foun- dries and rolling mills, all of which give employment to many thousand men and furnish material for” active railrond extensions progressing all over the west, and or building purposes throughout the country generally, "It is also a fact that the i mills of the conntry are not half supplicd with ore required for existing contracts and numerous railrond enterprise in progress are not likely to be completed during the ensu- ing year, all being an index to continuous outlay and assured prosperity. We would not be surprized to see mess pork double its present price within the coming year, and all other vroducts in corresponding proportions. Our own general trade in the various depart- ments of our business wis ver bette this season, and takin actors elements into consideration, we think are entirely safe in inducing your friends to buy liberally in anticipation” of the require wents of their trade. e Fighting Over Ger 10, SAN Fraxcisco, Sept. 2.--The Clironiele's ‘'ombstone, Ariz,, special says: A rumor has reached here that the Mexican troops de- manded of the American troops the release of Geronimo, The latter refused and a fight ensued, in which five Mexicans were killed and two Americans wounded, Geronlno es- caped during the melee.

Mike the prison Jumbo, ereated a whitl of excitemens in one of the prison wire mills this afternoon, by making a murderous assault upon a fores man, named George Burroughs, The des= perado and murderer has been watched very closely by the prison ofticials since his returmn to prison on a life term for murdering his Mooney, cell mate, John Aunderson. But Mooney seemed to attend closely to his work until today, when he was reprimanded by the foreman for now keeping up the fives in the annealing fur- nace. It was Mooney's duty to stoke the fur= naces with a lone iron poker and keep the wire red hot. - When spoken to by Buiroughs the desperado quickly drew his poker from) the furnace and attempted to drive the point of the hot iron into the body of the foreman.* Burroughs saw his danger just in time to ward off the blow, and springing to one side} led down the shop for his life, with ant” Mooney and his toasting-fork in close pursuit. Burroughs sprang through the side door out of the devilish eonviet's reach, Mooney attempted to follow but Officer et tis, the shop guard, made u grab for the stok- ing iron and succeeded in wrenching it from’ the desperate man’s hands, Mooney then turned upon the guard and struck hin se cral blows on the head with hig first, Superintendent Paulson came up be- hind Mooney and attempied to pinion i arms, but Mooney whirled around and threw ulson half way across the shop. Bur- Lis then hit Mooney with his fist and ed him down, but the desperado was up again in an instant, glaring about for some weapon with which he might strike a ath blow. By (his time the convicts in the shop wera in a fever of excitement. Half a dozen off them madea rush for Mooney, A burly, negro conviet picked up a stick of wood, with which he dealt Mooney a feartul blow on the head, butit did not_stageer him. The two convicts then elinehed and fell, the negro beinz on top, _with lis hand' nehed about Mooney's throat. It was all the cuard and foreman conld do to keep back the other conviets, who were dving to cet at Mooney, and if they had been allowed to reach h would un doubtedly have taken hislife, as the convicis in the wire mill most thoroughly detest Mooney for the brutal murder ot his”inoffen- sive ceil mate, Anderson.
