springs among the hills and mountains, and
has faint smell of burnt gunpowder.
Mr.. Sloan, who is engaged in investigating
the earthquake phenomena for the United
States geological survey, spent this morning
in taking observations in the cemeteries and
other places around the city and succeeded
in making a number OF interesting DIS
cOveries. Among them was the shifting OF
the enormous guano shed at the South Caro-
lima railway wharf on Cooper river. Inc
shed is 400 feet long by 60 feet wide, and is
supported on bents, which rest on piles. The
building contained about 1905 tons of guano
at the time of the earthquake, and yet, not
withstanding its great size and weight, the
entire structure was shifted feet % inches
towards the southeast, thus showing the
vast energy manifested by the earthWave.
Another discovery of interest as showing the
direction of the force was that the brick
casing or well of the gas reservoir on Wash
ington street, although buried in the ground,
had been forced eight inches toward the
southeast, and had then returned to its
original position, The evidence of the
ing or indentation about eight inches
wide in the ground. showing where the
brick curbing had pressed back the earth.
Mr.. Sloan will continue his observations, op-
Grating in the direction of the country be-
tween Ravenels and Lambs. Yesterday was
the warmest day that has been expert
enced in Charleston since the earthquake.
Everything was quiet at police headquar-
tiers last night, not an arrest having been
made during the day. The regular force is
quartered in the large gymnasium building
on the grounds of the high school. The
barrack beds have been rescued from the
ruins of the main station, and erected III
these quarters The recruits, or extra force,
are quartered in large circus tent sent from
New Orleans, and which has been pitched
in the spacious grounds adjoining the school.
These, too, have cots, and the men are COM
forably fixed. The gateman occupies tent
erected near the Meeting street gate of the
grounds, and the horses are sheltered in
temporary stable erected on the north side
of the grounds.

THAT SEA SERPENT.
There Is No Doubt, Lieutenant Fos-
ter says, That He and the Quarter
master Saw 1t on the Hudson.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A report having
been circulated that the sea serpent had
been seen by Lieutenant Foster, Of the
training ship Minnesota, lying OFT the loot OF
Twenty street, North river, as well
as by several other eye-witnesses, reporter
called upon him yesterday and asked him TO
confirm the report Lieutenant Foster said
that on the morning of September 10, as he
was standing near the end Of the Twenty
seventh street pier, looking over the water,
he saw an object 150 feet from the shore,
which he took to be a floating spar 1t
seemed strange that it should be there,
where it might prove a dangerous article If
run into by any of the river craft, aud he
was about to call the attention of several
longshoremen on the dock to it when it
moved.
He called to the quartermaster on deck to
take look through his glass at it, at the
same time telling the longshoremen to watch
it, 1t moved slowly up the river and dlsap-
peared around the end of pier He says it
was Of dull slate color and looked like a
huge eel. The extremities were submerged,
but he thinks it must have been at least
sixty feet long and eighteen or twenty
inches thick. He did not see more than
thirty feet of the creature.
The lieutenant has travelled all over the
world, and is familiar with almost every
known inhabitant of the sea, but never be-
fore has he seen anything at all resembling
this monster. That it is the veritable sea

variety of sea snake that has never been ex
anined. The quartermaster corroborates
Lieutenant Fosters story in every particu-
lar. He was ON watch at the time the crea.
ture was seen and he had a better view of
it perhaps than any man on board. When
Lieutenant Foster called to him he was
standing at the stern of the ship and at once
levelled his glass. 1t was so near, he said,
that he might easily have shot it or pumped
it with stone. He, too, has been all over
the world, but has never before seen any
thing like it. He believed that many have
seen the serpent at different points along tho
river and also that it has been seen by many
who do not care to mention it for fear of
being laughed at. If others had not seen it
first he would never have mentioned it. He
says he has not been ashore for month,
and so was perfectly sober at the time.

TOO MUCH MARRIED.
A Good Looking Young Man Arrested
for Bigamy.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Sept. 16.-A case of
bigamy was brought to the surface here to-
day eliminating one Arthur Travers, good
looking affiable young man of % years. He
was placed under arrest on complaint
sworn out by Allen S. Batten, father of
Cora Estelle Batten, whom Trayers married
on the 4th inst. On the 14th inst Travers
married Rose Levegue at Boston, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. j. F. Duryea,
d. D. Immediately afterwards he came to
this city, locating in West Manchester,
where the parents of his second bride reside
The father of his first wife hid his suspic-
ions aroused and instituted investigations
which led to his son-in-law's arrest. Tray
ers is native Of Pottsdam, n. Y, and was
first married in 1882 to Libby Mckinney,
who died in April last. He became ac-
quainted with the Batten girl in June last
at her home where he was a boarder. She
was a girl of Is, and his marriage to her was
not sanctioned by the girls parents. He
says that after living with his wife a week
he informed her that there was girl in the
city to whom he had been engaged for some
time, and obtained his wifes consent to
marrying her. In pursuance of this plan he
procured railroad tickets and sent his wife
to Vermont, and then arranged with the
Levegue gill, who was stopping in Provi-
dence, r. L., to meet him in Boston, and
there they were married.

CLEVELAND onA DEER HUNT.
One Lucky Hunter Only, and He
Was From Boston-He Killed a
Buck.

SARANAC INN, N. Y, Sept. 16.-A third
attempt at deer hunt proved unsuccessful
yesterday morning. No rain had fallen dur
ing the night, and, as the conditions were ia
vorable for the scent lying on the ground the
dogs were put on at about s O'Clock. The
hunt was in charge of Mr.. Charles Z. Cutler
of New York and Col Belo of the Galveston
News. President Cleveland remarked that
he had not much faith in its success so far
as he was concerned, but he called out his
guide, and together they made their way
toward the watch ground assigned them.
The one lucky hunter among those who
started out from the inn was Mr.. A. l.. Cool
idge of Boston, who was stationed at Long
Pond, and who was fortunate enough to kill
buck.
On Friday the Presidents party will, in
all probability, start for the Tupper Lake re-
gion.
A report has recently found it's wav into
the woods that Col. Belo, who is spending
the summer here with his family, would
probably be selected for the Austrian mis-
sion. Both Col Belo and President Cleve-
land unite in saying that the rumor is en-
tirely unfounded. Col. Belo adds that he is
satisfied to continue the publication of his
two newspapers in Texas, and that he is not
a candidate for any Office within the Presi-
dant's Gift

THE RAILROAD DISASTER.
Eighteen Persons Killed and Nineteen
Wounded.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept 16.-The list of
killed in the Nickel Plate collision, which
was further swelled to 10 by the finding of
three more bodies mangled beyond recogni-
ton, is now supposed to be complete. The
responsibility for the disaster has been
settled as nearly as possible pending full in
vestigation, and it undoubtedly rests with
Engineer Brewer and Conductor Donaldson
of the passenger train.
ERIE, Pa, Sept. 16-The city is in mourn
ing for the dead of Tuesdays. disaster at
Silver Greek. N. Y. Today and tomorrow
mass will be said in all of the Catholic
churches for the repose of their souls. To
the list of the dead is added Henry Hauck of
Franklin township, w. E. Marble and Louis
Lindse, both of Erie. So far there have
been is deaths and 10 wounded. Charles
Kummcrtz of Pittsburg, who was reported
among the killed, has turned up alive, but
badly wounded.
The feeling against Engineer Brewer and
Conductor Donaldson is such that it will
never be safe for them to railroad again in
this section.

Proposed Sale of Valuable Horses.

NEW YORK, Sept, 16.-Pierre Lorillard
astonished the sporting world last January
with the announcement that he would sell
all his runners in training and retire from
the turf. At the same time, however, he
stated that he would still continue to breed
runners at his Rancocas establishment and
would hold annual sales of yearlings His
breeding establishment contains some of
the choicest bred mares in America Now
Mr.. Lorillard astonishes the horsemen, for
he has decided to close out his entire horse
breeding possessions, stations, brood mares
and young stock, and has placed the matter
in the hands of Col S. D. Bruce of the Turf,
Field and Farm The stock will be sold at
auction about the middle of next month. The
Dwyer Bros have decided to weed out their
stable of runners and a large draft will be
made from it. They will be sold at auction
after the close of the Brooklyn Jockey
Clubs meeting These two sales and that
of the horses in training belonging to Com
modore Kittson, which takes place at Jerome
Park early in October, will place IL great
many thoroughbred horses on the market at
once, but as new turf aspirants are all the
time coming to the front, they will undoubt-
edly bring good prices.

The Credit for the Capture Of ceron-
inn

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Sept. 16.-The
Memorial says editorially: The recent re-
ports circulatedtconcerning the surrender of
the Apaches and detracting from the men,
bers of the campaign have elected consider
able Indignation among military men in this
section, who feel that it is but an effort to
deprive gallant officers and soldiers of the
fruits of their victory, and believe that they
are inspired by envious critics. People in
this community who know all the facts ap-
preciate the great final success of Gen.
Miles's campaign as much as they have de-
plored in the past the efforts of others to Sc
cure lasting peace. Those who know say
that Geronimo and his band were never cap
tured or disarmed until General Miles land
ed them last week at Fort Bowie as prison
ers of war, and deny the statement that Ger
onmo would have surrendered upon condi-
tions before the recent change in military
commanders in this department Military
men say that Gen. Miles's campaign was a
necessity to bring the Apaches' troubles to a
successful termination. His vigorous cam
paign lasted only four months, and Geroni-
mo only gave up when he was exhausted and
helpless. He surrendered to the troops in
the field and Gen. Miles simply told him that
army officers never kill their prisoners of
war; that they must lay down their arms and
do what he said, trusting to their future to

Another Brooklyn Bridge Crank Sup
pressed by the Police.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A truck containing
four men was driven on the big bridge from
Brooklyn few minutes after 1 o'clock Tues
day afternoon. When it had reached the
Brooklyn tower one of the men threw off his
coat and waistcoat, jumped out, and climbed
up on the outside rail- The shouts of the
spectators, who expected to witness another
big jump, drew the attention of a policeman
to the man, and hurrying from the roadway
he reached him as he was nearing the spot
from which Broidie dropped into the river.
Seeing the policeman approach, the man let
himself down on the outside and grabbed
one of the stay ropes. The policeman
grasped him by the suspenders, and held him
fast until another policeman arrived, and
the man was dragged on tine roadway, and
taken to the York street station in Brooklyn.
The prisoner is Albert Hensen, aged 20, Of
66 Lafayette avenue. He said he was out of
work, and didn't care much whether he
lived or not. He had no intention to jump
when he started TO cross the bridge, he said
but when his companion in the wagon said
he was afraid to do 'the great act,'' he re-
solved to make the attempt.
