convict, in one corner near the elevator,
armed with a heavy chisel and a long needle.
In front Of him stood two deputy keepers
covering hun with their heavy revolvers.

Remarkub,e Phenomenon Witnessed by Party
81 OF Summer Visitors.

CATsKtLL, September ia ptenomc:
non of remarkable character was witnessed
yesterday afternoon o mile from Catskill
village. a number Of persons were seated
on a height, looking down on the roads be-
low, when their attention was suddenly
drawn to the fact that although the air was
dry and there was no indication OLA show
er, past, present or to omc yet there was
nevertheless a sound below as of heavy
raindrops falling in increasing succession
on the leaves. They discovered that the
noise was caused by the falling Of innHmcr-
able little dark objects about the size of a
smell bean, which on closer investigation
proved to I've ;ies IN miniature. The cir
vas dense with the falling flies, like . snow
storm save for color. In appearance it
more nearly rcSembicd the clouds Of locus,
seen in Colorado and otter places subject
TO such unpleasant visitationS. The flies
were black. with small, hard bodies AMI
fine, transparent wings. They appeared
stupcficd OH reaching the grounds. but
soon showed activity. The shower lasted,
with Sight in'crmissions for twenty min,
u,cs. The trees and grass for . very COZ
siIc;0blc area were black with the insects.

the South Carolina railway, and thence up
the east bank of the river on horseback.
Mr.. Sloan reports that most Of the oh
mansions and historic places up the river
nave bccn destroyed. "Miadlc:on iIall' is
badly injured, while Or. Bakers handsome
old English house and the Cohen place are
hopeless wrecks. At the Cohen place an
old pump which had been buried In n well
for years was forced four feet three inches
above the surface Of the ground.
Mr.. Sloan also discovered, between
Lambs and Ten Mile Hill, n large hole in
which several small pine trees have been
cngulfcd. The hole is thirty-onc feet long
AT its longest point and twenty feet broad.
When first discovered it is said to have
been about fifteen feet in depth. 1t las
since filled up with soft, Oozy mud, aud is
now only about five feet deep.

CRISIS IN BULGARIAN Affairs.
Important Meeting Of the English CabInet-It
Looks Like War with Russia.

LONDON, September 23.-Tho Cabinet
met in council today. The principal sub.
ject OF discussion is understood TO have
been Bulgaria and the attitude of Russia
and Austria. Nothing else was talked of
in the iObby of the House Of Commons to-
day. The &c 'ergl feeling, in spite of all
the outward indications of peace, is that
war is coming. The reports published
here from Bulgaria are for the most part
either untrustwocthy or calculated to create
ta-se views of the position of affairs. The
situation there is considered critical, and
civil war is dangerously near. BiSmarck's
cCnCAialory policy toward Russia has med,
itied the English attitude. The Foreign
Office Is disposed to take the stand that ii
the powers do not consider it for their in
forest to support her in preventing the fail
OF COnstantiuoplc, she will offer no oppo.
siuor 10 Russia extending her influence to
The MEDITERRANEAN. In that case the Egyp-
tan Situation would be entirely changed
ard England would consider the possession
OF the road TO India q life and dealt! qucs.
ton. IL diplomatic circles the belief is
universal that Salisbury was completely
oUtwittcd by Vi. dc Oilers in the Bulgarian
episode from the time lie returned 70 Office
to the final ahdica;ion Of Alexander, and
that Russia IS master of the situation in the
Balkan states.

graphs tina, Turkey has demonstrated
against the action OF Russia in impeding
the court martial Of the Bulgarian cOnspi-
ratCrs. The protest Of the Porte strongly
