Charleston Earthquake (This is the second installment of the Charleston earthquake, the story of which began last week.) For one hour rom the time of the first shock no water was ob tainable, the nipple from the res ervoir to the standpipe having been broken thereby, and all the water in the pipe being thus let put. Engineers Chapman and Vogt stod by their post, however, and in that trying time made a new pipple, pumped the stand pipe full and thus provided the brave fire men with the means to extinguish the threatening flames. To add to the difficulties the fire alarm could not be sounded. The one tap sounded on all the gongs releas ed the horses and from several of the engine houses the horses were stampeded by fright at the first shock. Those from the Queen St. house were not recaptured until the next morning, when they were found outside the city. In spite of al Ithis the firemen accomplished wonders. The first fire noticed was on Legare street and was soon under control. The second was on upper King street, at the porner of Warren, one of the Gas company’s gasometers being in the rear, and at times touched by the flames. By great efforts the progress of the conflagration was stayed until after six buildings had been destroyed. The first enn gine here, No. 6, was dragged by men, its horses having run away, and water was obtained from the tidal drain. Those working here were in imminent danger all the time from the explosion of the gasometer', and their bravery can not be too highly commended. The third fire destroyed several houses 4 at the corner of George and St. Philips streets, but was finally extinguished in narrow limits. The fourth fire destroyed two houses on Cooper street, back of the Enterprise Railroad com pany’s stable, and was not known of by the department until after it had burned itself out. The fifth fire was the most destructive, as it did not break out until about one o’clock, when the entire froce of the department was employed at the other end of the city, and great headway was gained before any efforts could be made to stay its progress. It began in a frame building on King street, between Broad and Queen, and advanced rapidly up the street. Ten build ings were here destroyed, but to those who witnessed the scene, the success of the firemen in ex tinguishing it at all was remark able. The weary waiting for dawn of that terrible night will never be forgotten by any of the thous ands of shelterless people who ithrticipated in its horrors. At 1:02 and 5 o’clock a. m. shocks were felt, and they operated to maintain the fears aroused by the first great shock. In the morning it was possible to gain a clearer idea of the ex tent of the calamity and the. im mense amount of damage done, as well as the more sorrowful certainty of the loss of life. The entire damage done was by the first shock, the duration of which is variously estimated, but by the most reliable observers placed at 30 seconds. In this brief space of time damage to the amount of several million dollars had been done, and forty human beings killed. On every hand were to be seen evidences of the terrible cat astrophe. Everywhere roofless buildings with shattered wills and streets filled with debris, in .many cases so as to fender them almost impassable. Adetailed list of the buildings damaged would cover many pages; only the most prom inent can here be given. While no section of the city was exempt from damage, the southeastern and southwestern portions seem ed to suffer most. Along E. Bay street and the water front were many badly shattered structures, and while the wharves remained uninjured most of the buildings upon them were badly damaged. The Custom house at first seemed little injured, but a later exami nation found it badly so, as well as the postoffice at the foot of Broad street. This street, from that point to Meeting, was filled with debris from the badly dam aged buildings on either side. The Confederate home had lost a ga ble and was otherwise injured. St. Michael’s church of historic fame had been badly cracked, and its masive porch torn from the main structure. The old Guard house, or police station, was in ruins, the court house badly crac ked, tjie Fire-Proof building min us its front gable, the City hall RADAR DEFENSE . . .

The Roper lospital on Queen street,was thoroughly ruined as was the Vftedical college next to it, while the buildings in its rear, used as i jail and the City hospital fared io better. The tower of the Uni- arian church, on Archdale street lad fallen, while its next neigh- >or, the St. John’s Lutheran thurch had escaped, apparently vithout damage. Many other of ;he city’s churches were badly lamaged, including the Baptist •hiirrh. npiir the Citadel, which cracked and with its rear wait- had Lost its spire by the cyclone*, and the German Lutheran on King street, also damaged at that time. Hayne street, once the main com mercial avenue of the city, suffer ed severely, and the debris from a building occupied by a manufac turer of building material, com pletely blocked the street, while? next to it only the front wall of the building occupied by a boot, and shoe firm was left standing. Market street suffered equally*, and the fronts of many buildings were entirely gone. Many of the handsome and stately residences for which the city has been justly- famed, were badly wrecked, the elegant mansions on the East Bat tery being notable examples. (To be continued.)
