In the main building extends to the founda

nip's icsidonco 13 swept away. The Charleston -
ton hotel loses thocollings and part of tlie
coping. The Gorman aitillery hall is some
what injmed. The wateiwoiks biitldlngand
rcseivolr aio injmed. The Injury to St.
Phillips' chinch Is almostundescrlbable. Sev-
eial arches of the splro above the clock tower
arc torn down and tlnown out.
On Sullivan's Island the shock was severe ,
butcompai.xtively little Injmy was done. Xo
lives weie lost. Many of the summei visit
ors came to the citj this morning.
Tlio last eaitluiuake shock was cxuerlenccd
heie at 11:50 : hiht night , since which time
there have been no vibrations. Tlio people
nro just beginning to pick up courage to come
out. Efforts ate being made to clear paths
through the stieets for the passage ol ve
hicles ana pedestiians , and the city onto
more begins to show some signs of lite.
1'or two long dajs and nights of 1-orror ,
women and children have been camplngout
in paiks and smiaies. The earthquake swept
ovet the city like a besom of destruction. It
Is Impossible to give any correct estimate of
the loss of life and pioperty. 1'or two days
and nights tlio people have done nothing but
huddle In the Kqiiaie. Small detached relief
parties aie going out to dig out the dead
11om the debris or succor the wounded. The
llrst systematic effort to get at the facts Is
now beini } made. The list of dead recog-
nl/ed and reported this morning
' foots up to sixteen and the search has only
commenced. The list of wounded will do
Into the hundreds. About sevoi-clzhts of the
houses ot public buildings aio either clam-
nged or wrecked. The waves from 0:5.Tues : '
day night have been coming every live or six
hours. There has been none now for tvvclvo
hours and htiong hopes aio enleitiilned that
the honor Is about over.
A special to the News and Courier from
points in .South Carolina , ranging from the
c\tiemo northwest to the sea coast , repoits
hcvciat shocks of caitluiuako , with moioor
less dnmago to proprrty. though without
loss of life so far as Is known. In Gunge-
burg the people became so nlauned that
many moved to Columbia.
As the details of tlio calamity In tills cltv
are gathered , Its effects becomn more and
inoroalaimlng. It is feared also , that much
distress will pievall , as by far tun laigcr part
of those whoso pionoity has been wiecked or
seriously damaged belong to thopooior
classes. 'Ihe people are as cheer
ful as possible under the terrible
clienmstaniTH , and are living to lestoro
oidei out of chaos. The nggicgato loss is ex
pected to reach tlueo millions. The vvlmues ,
w alehouses and business facilities of the cltv
generally aio unallVcted by the catastrophe ,
and Chirlcston Is ready as over foi the tuns-
action of business.
' 1 ho ofllclal total of deaths Is thlity-tvvo ,
and the wounded will probably number 100.
Business Is still suspended , the whole atten
tion of the people being given to providing
lor the homottss.
Brlcklajerfi have advanced their rates to
BX ! dollais nei day. The city council will
piobably meet to moiiowtopiovldemeasures
lor relieving the poor. KxpiVKSlons ot grati
tude are henrd on all sides for the assistance
oflered to ChaileMon of which the sulterlng
people will L-ladly avail themselves. Confi
dence Is gradually returning , but much ap-
pichonslon Ishtlll felt.
The people are gradually takliu account of
the details of the injury worked by the eaith-
tuaUo , and the list or damage to propcity Is
startling. A limited section In the south of
the city Is n sample ot the whole. Standing
at the postotllco and looking west , an almost
Impassable roadway of debils meets the eve.
The building ot the chamber of commerce Is
badly damaged , a poitlon of the south
and east walls having been thrown down
by the v lolciiro of the shock , and the build
ings of Walker , Kvans it BOL'SVV ell luv e also
milfeied. while heavy granite slabs which
foi iiied the parapet of the News and Courier
building lie upon the sidewalk , leaving the
Hate roof and a portion ot ! the nttlc floor ex
posed. Most of the building * , on the street
nro more or less damaged , but the violence of
the eattluiuako Is most perceptible at the his-
tone Intersection of Broad and Meeting
Etloots , The police station Is almost a com
plete w reck. Tlio uppei edge of the w all has
boon torn down and that of the north wall
lias fallen on the loof of the poich , carrying
It awuy and leaving only the large
fluted pillars standPL' ! . Tlio city hall
nppaienlly e-scaped serious damage , but Is
badly cracked on the vast wall , and the court
house building Is badly damaged , the walls
being cnicked in several places and poitlons
of ( lie roof and tables being thiovvn down.
Tlio fireproof building seems to stand as a
reck. The gables of the north and south
yoicut-3 , however , uuuleol solid browu stone ,
have been thrown to the pavement below.
1 tils ajipears to be the onlv damage done to
the building. The worst wieck In the local
ity , however , Is St. Miclncl's church , which
'cms to bo doomed to destruction ,

water out of these lissiires in jets to 'the

This was evidently the result of

Ouinsaiid riieman AinoUl , colored , were
badly Injuicd by the tremendous leap
vvhleli the tiain took In the daik under the
unseen influence ol the shock that dis
mantled the road. It is said that the earth
suddenly gave way and that the engine
hist plunged down a temporary declivity.
It was then uiscd on top of A succeeding ter-
restlal undulation , and having reached the
top of the wave a smidcn swerving of the
force to the light and left hulled the Ill-fated
train down the embankment. The tialn at
the time of the earthquake was i mining at the
usual speed , and when about a mile south ol
Jedlmrg it encounteied the teuible cxpcii-
ence. It was fielishtcd with hundieds of
oxcmslonists retuining from the mountains.

This was the ilsing wave. Suddenly
U descended , and as it lapldlv fell it Hung
the llrst coxch violently over to the east , the
heads of the car apparentlv leaning over at
an angle of foity-tivo degrees. Then the
tiain righted and was hurled , as with the
roai ot artillery , over to the west ,
and finally subsided on the truck' and
took a nunine downwaul. evidently on
the descending wave. The engineer
nut down the brakes tight , but so great was
the original and added momentum that the
train leaped ahead. It is said on trustworthv
authoilty thnt the tram net u illy galloped
along the track , the Iront and rear tiucks of
the coaches rising and falling alternately.
The utmost contusion prevailed. Women
and childien shrieked with ills-
may and the bravest hearts quailed In
momcntaiy expectation of a more teirlble
catastrophe. The train was then taken back
In the direction of Jedberg , and on the way

The Bulgarian Situation nml the Posi

CoMSTANii.voi'LC , Sept. 1. [ New York
Herald Cable Special to the Bi.i , . ] I have
just Inteiv lowed a representative of one of
iireat powers , who is much interested in the
solution of the Bulgarian question. He con
siders the situation to be much improved ,
owing to the leturn of the prince and the
firm attitude of the Bulgarians. Whelhci
Kubsla lias given special assuiances to the
sultan or not ho linds the porte to-day mani
festing much less anxiety. The pievalent
opinion among tlie ministers is that
rni : cnisis vvir.i , END
without anj ovei tact on the part of llussla
end.ingcilng European peace. Ho thinks
that Hussla.scelng the gicatlailureof its coup
d'etat in ordoi to give foice to the same ,
will not oppose the prince's icsumptlon of
povvei for tlie piesi nt. tearing to force the
storm ot Indignation that an attempt to co-
cico Bulgaria would liso throughout Kuiope.
The liiltisli government is stionglj supportIng -
Ing the prince , anil I have ground for believ
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 I1IUTISII AMIIASSA.DOU
endeavored unsuccessfully to persuade the
poite to adopt an Independent action , basing
hei pollcv upon Europe's u'cognitlon of her
nzoialn ty , but the sultan's advises still
see safely only In clinging to that worn out
snppoit. the concert of the gieat povveis. The
sultan's dccado of Itusia ; over weighs all othei
consideration.
Till : 01 IIVIVX AMIIASSADOIt ,
here , at first oxpiessed views so adverse to
the re-lnstatcmcnt of the prince that the be
lief has been entertained in certain quartets
that the pilnco was only allowed to return in
order to retho honorably later on , after hav
ing chastened the author of the coup d'etat.
The prevalent belle ! at llrst among the ( ! er-
man olllclals was that BIstnaick has agreed
to saciiflco the pilnco for the maintenance of
peace , and that the same consldeiatlons still
held good. But any such method emplojed
would hav o
nousr.n srcii I.VIMOXATION'
as to render necCssaiy appointment In the
execution of such an Idea. The future , how
ever , belongs to the prlnco and Dulgailans ,
unless he retires of his own free will 01 bv
the adverse vote of a general assembly 10-
quiring his abdication. It would seem that
Kiiasia will lemain a strictly Inactive specta
tor , unless coeiced Into action by ono or
othei of the gieat powers. I give these views
as coming tiom an Impoitant souice.

Many of the senatois had theh speeches com

and the scenes re-enacted wllhcmaln n pleas
ant feature of the reunion.
There have necessarily been many changes
in the piogramme , and some llttlo confusion
asaicsult , but eveibody lias accepted it
good-naturedly. The numerous interests to
be looked after in a vast camp entails a largo
amount of work on the managers and load
ers , especially where much of the service len-
deied is voluntary. Many of the old bos in
blue have reached an aso when they do not
care to be burdened with red tape , but they
have lost lost none of that old time vlgor.of
expression or heartiness of interest in old
camp scenes.
Tlie morning was laigely spent in prepara
tions of the day , the grand parade , and In
transacting business at the various state
lieadquaiters.
The unusual stir In the camp at 1 o'clock
Indicated the prcparntlon for the gland
parade. The column formed In three guild
divisions on Hancocic avenue , and matched
out of camp In the following older : General
Tlm > er , commander , and his stall and othei
officers heading the column , composed of the
First and Twentj-second icgulai Infantry
and Tvvcut-second artilleiy , with eight
pieces ; mounted cavalry of the Grand Aimy ,
the Slielton Xouavo company , and the Grand
Army vetcuns by states , with 11) ing banneis
and a largo number of brass binds
at Intervals In the column. The column
reached to the city and linnished inspection
to a l.iigo crowd. A number of women w we
seen in tlie column , shaiing the fatigue of
the parade w Ith theii husbands.
At 3 o'clock the Guneral Tjler gave an ex

Vou may hare noticed that no lard from this

that we are laigo holders of poik and meals ,
which will bo wanted by consumers. Wo
treat our customeis well , and sometimes try
to make it especially agreeable foi them to
do business with us by helping them to make
a little money. We are Honest believers In

more Inrccly of Januaiy pork than any other

The object of this lettei is to call your at

aio firm belleveis in hlchur pi ices for hog
products and wo base it on the healthy out
look and condition ot tiado generally. In
the south a good common crop Is assured ,
which means a liheial demand for provis
ions of all kinds fiom that section. The corn
ciop Is hnally conceded to bo largely short ,
not nverGj per cent of a full average , which
condition alvvajs biings higher prices for

past year are lanrely In excess of those of fho
preceding jcar , and the slocks of hog pro
ducts throughout the country atuveiy light ,
especially at Intoiior packing points. Lake
fieights are Hun and advancing , because ves
sels are busy tiansporting lion and othei
