destroyed by the same storm in its course be-
fore reaching Nova Scotia, making total of
| 1,122 vessels destroyed within a few days;
223 lives were definitely reported to be lost,

been lost, had sweled the number to nearly
500, while IL to this be added the loss of life

gone upon the war-path. General Crook had

A Cincinnati dispatch of the 18th announced
that all the banks in that city had resumed

A dispatch from the Mayor OF Memphis to

and that aid f2np abroad was wanted. Other

would be no more violent outbreaks. A dis
patch from Owensville, Texas, says the yellow
fever had broken out in that vicinity.
Dispatches from Pennsylvania, of the 14th,
were to the effect that the Republicans had
been successful in the elections in that State
on that day. Gordon, the Republican candi-
date for Judge of the Supreme Court, had

ticket Mackey, the candidate for Treasurer,
left Philadelphia with about 25,eOO majority

ton of Senator Thurman. The Republicans
had claimed the State for Governor Noyes by
a majority of from 10000 to 5000. There
seemed to be little doubt at midnight that the
Republicans had been successful on the State
ticket, though the Legislature was extremely
doubtful, and its political complexion could
only be determined by the official count. The
election in Indiana, on the 14th, was for local
officers only, and passed of without excite
ment. 1t could scarcely be said to have had
political significance. No returns had been re-
ceived at midnight of the l4th.
The election in Nebraska, on the l4th, passed
of quietly. At midnight scarcely any returns
had been received. The probability was that

fusing to include in the tax. levy certain judg-
ments obtained in the United States Courts
against the county.

A dispatch from New York Of the 14th says
that on that day their had been another furry
in the stock market, and securities were
slaughtered in a discouraging manner, the
losses being heavier and the feeling worse
than at any time since the panic. The great
decline was due to the straits to which brokers
are reduced by their inability TO secure loans.
Prices fell from four to ten per cent, and
several failures had been announced. New
York Central had fallen to s21S, and this
was taken as sign Of Vanderbilt's in
ability to bolster it up, it having always
been his policy to hold up that stock,
no matter what the consequence
was to other stocks. Western Union, another
