FURIOUS GALE.
One Fourth of the Houses in Charles
ton, s. c., Unroofed by
the Wind.
sullivan's Island Partially Submerged
and Summer Hotel Leveled
to the Ground.
charleston Is. o. dispatch.l


Charleston was struck by a cyclone this
morning, and one fourth of the houses in
the city are unroofed. Parts of the spires
of st. M chaels and St Matthew's
Churches were blown down, and the spire
of the Citadel Square Baptist Church is
demolished. The wharves and warehouses
are badly damaged. At Sullivans Island
two steamers are aground, and the New
Ashley River bridge now constructing is
swept away. -Four vessels which arrived
yesterday are wrecked. The telegraph
wires are down and there are no cars run
ming.
The loss is still estimated at 81 ,0OO, ,000
including wharves and churches Mer-
chants are already rebuilding. The phos-
phate works near the city are but little in
jured, except the Atlantic, which loses its
acid chambers. The Norwegian bark Med
Dor, from Liverpool, was dismasted in the
storm, and the German bark III. Peters was
driven ashore. The German brig Freiheit
was sunk in collision. The dry dock
schooner William Z. Lee was blown ashore
and the Norwegian bark Veritas and the
Italian brig San Frisco are ashore at Cas-
tie Pinckney, with q three masted schoon-
er, name unknown. No lives were lost.
number of houses on Sullivan's Island
were blown away. The New Brighton
Hotel had over hundred guests, and great
fears were entertained for their safety. At
8 O'Clock this morning the storm reached
its greatest velocity. At that hour. while
the hotel people we're at breakfast the Ca.
sino fell with great crash. Fortunately,
all the rooms in that building had been va
Gated. There were grave apprehensions
that the dining-room and main building
would soon succumb to the violence of the
storm. At 8 o'clock the wind changed from
the southeast and the storm increased from
the southwest When the Casino fell it is
thought that the maximum of the storm
was from sixty-fve to seventy miles an
hour. The main building of the hotel Is
intact, having stood the storm without very
serious damage. At / o'clock it was en-
tirely over. The loss to the New Brighton
will be $4,000. There has been very gen.
enl destruction of property on the Island.
The island was in the main submerged, but
when the wind changed the waters receded.
In the vicinity of Savannah, Ga, the
storm was very severe. At Tybee dwelling
house was blown down, but no one was in
jured. The Caroline Chalmers went ashore
on the knoll inside of Tybee, and the bark
n. Mosher on the north beach, half mile
south of TYbee light
At Mayport, Fla, the Atlantic House
was blown down and Mrs. Gilbert Hunter
severely injured All the guests of the
house, about thirty women anG children,
were exposed for hours to the furious,
driving wind aud rain. News from Fernan-
dina shows great damage done 10 buildings,

Strathmore House, on the beach, were
driven into town for refuge. No lives were
lost there,

American LightneSs.

What appears to be the most serious
danger now threatening the American
race is the tendency to over-reinement,
and the consequent failure in repro
duct:on. This tendency has set its
stamp upon our mentality, so that our
literary and scientific works, and all
the varied outcomes of our mental life,
arc characterized by clearness, quick
ness, aptness, rather than by force, or
depth, or real mastery. Our literature,
as such, has less bulk than the English
or German, less body, and more grace
and refinement. Compare Emerson
with Carlyle, or Fisk with Spencer, or
Hawthorne with Scott, or Prescott with
Macaulay, or James with George Eliot.
Up TO certain point this deftness and
clearness OF our authors give them the
advantage; but when great tasks are to
be undertaken, our lightness and
br ghtness are less telling. Our sec
ond considerable crop of authors, born
(say) since 1925, has less force, less
body, less breadth, than our first great
crop which included Cooper, Bryant,
Irving, Emerson, Longfellow, and
Whittier. er.-Portland Transcript.

A few days ago, after couple Of esteem

arranged to pass few days with their
families at lake in Oakland County one
of them offered to wager box of cigars
that he would catch the largest fish. The
wager was promptly taken, and next day
one of the gentlemen put in an appearance
at fish stand on the market and said to
the dealer:
Have you got fresh pickerel weighing
about fifteen pounds?"

to his company, although still compelled to
use crutches in travelling He remained
with the command, doing what service he
was able, until the late summer of 1863,
when his wounds having broken out afresh,
and threatening fatal result he was obliged
TO resign the service. He has never fully
recovered, and yet carries his cane, a con-
slant reminder of his part in the great war.
He returned to his former home in Vim
ton, and was afterward elected County
Judge, and then for four successive terms
elected Clerk of the District Court, which
position he resigned on his election in 1874
to the Office of Auditor of State, to which
he was twice reelected.
In 1881 he was elected Governor of Iowa,
and on the expiration of the term in 1883
was reelected to that high Office

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
A Ruling That VIII Embarrass the Court
of Commissioners for Some Time.
TXUaahtnrtov, toloororo

Ruling That VIII Embarrass the Court
of Commissioners for Some Time.
Washington teegram.l
The First Comptroller of the Treasury
to-day made ruling that is likely to en-
barrass the Court of Commissioners of
Alabama Claims for sometime to come. 1t
is in effect that the employment of twenty
four persons borne on the rolls of the
court is entirely without warrant of law,
and that no payments can legally be made
from the Treasury on their account in the
future. Mr. Andrew H. Allen, disbursing
agent of the court, recently made requisi-
tions on the Secretary Of the Treasury for
$1,000 to meet the current expenses of the
court. In the usual course of business the
acquisitions came before the First Comp
troller, and he decided to make an investi-
cation of the affairs of the court before
authorizing the issue of the necessary war;
rants. His conclusions are summarized in
the following statement, prepared by him
for publication:
The Court of Commissioners of Alabama
Claims was created In 1874, to hear proof Of
claims to be paid out Of the SIS, 900 900 awarded
by the Geneva Commission, and was continued
by various acts until Dec 81, 1877. 1t was con-
stituted Of five Judges with an annual salary of
So, 900 each, clerk at $3,0O0 a stenographer at
$500, and an attorney to represent the United
States at $4,000. Provision was also made for
rent of courtroom, furniture, stationery, fuel,
and other necessary incidental expenses, all Of
which was to be paid out OF said fund before
judgments were paid. The court was reorgan-
lied in 1882, with the same officers and salaries
as before, except that the number Of Judges
was reduced to three. The Comptroller, in
investigating the case, found that outside of the
above named officials there were on the pay
rolls the names Of assistant counsel for the
United States, clerk to said counsel, experts,
clerks TO experts. messengers, watchmen, etc |,
whose aggregate salaries amounted to about
S3l 500 per wear. He also found in the quarter
sistant counsel over s. 900 for the quarter end
ing December 81, 1884, and about s., 900 for the
legged illegal payments. He says he finds no
law authorizing said payments, and after con-
sulting with the Acting Secretary Of the Treas
has decided to stop all future payments Of the

EXPLORING ALASKA.
Progress Made by the Party Under Charge
of Lieut.. Stoney--A New Volcano.


of Lieut.. Stoney--A New Volcano.
[San Francisco dispatchl
Lieut.. Purcell, who went with Lieut.
Stoney to Alaska to explore the Great Put
nam River, returned here yesterday on the
whaling tender Thomas Pope. Purcell
reports that before proceeding up the river
the party visited the newly found Bogodar
volcano. They noticed little change in it,
except less smoke and a sand-spit was
forming to the westward of it. July 8
Stoney reached Hotham Inlet, into which
the Putnam River empties. He intended
to ascend the riveras far as his large steam
launch would carry him and then go into
winter quarters. The party would then
divide mp into sledRing parties for the pur-
pose Of exploring Northern Alaska as soon
as navigation reopens. He intended to
come down the Putnam River and explore
Noatak River. which empties into an intent
north of Putnam. Purcell reports the
party all well at the time he left The ex-
