archists have been intervened several
times regarding the statements made in .
dispatch from Waco, Texas, to the effect
that his wife was formerly mistress of .
full blacked negro, named Gathings whom
she deserted for reasons. This statement
has been fatty denied by Parsons, who
said his wife was of Spanish Indian origin,
and that she had never been in
Waco, Texas. Mrs. Parsons has until
now refused to speak on the subject

pipes around the course, and every twelve
feet placed light, and by this means
dried the track in good shape.

Mayor COurtsnay Issues Another PrOclama-
ton to the Public,
ASKING AID FOR THE SUFFERERS

CHARLESTON, s. c., September 18.-
There were two distinct shocks of earth
quake in this city during the night-One
at Ills, which was very perceptible, and
which was preceded by the usual demon
strations. The quivering of the earth was
followed by two or three distinct yibra-
tions, apparently from east to west. The
shock at 3 a. M. to-day was very slight and
hardly perceptible Passengers from Sum
merville report these two disturbances at
the time named, and state there were sew.
eral others between midnight and 3 a. m.
A dispatch from Camden states that a
stinct shock was felt in that town, about
fifteen miles from Charleston, at 2:25 a. m
yesterday.
AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.

United States to publish the following
proclamation

WHEREAS, A terrible calamity has be-
fallen Charleston, vast and widespread, in
the loss it intiicts far greater in extent
than WAS at first realized; and
WHEREAS, 1t is evident that the liberal
and spontaneous assistance which has come
to us from all parts of this country and
from England, and which is deeply appre-
ciated and gratefully acknowledged by our
people, will be wholly insufficient to meet
our unexpected exigencieS; be it
ReSOlred, That the Mayor be requested
! to prepare and issue an address to the pub
! lie, setting forth our condition, and invOk-
ing additional aid for this stricken city.
In making known to the general public
this declaration of the municipal govern
~ to the condition of our city at this
| time, ii seems to me unnecessary that
should add any words of my own. The
unfortunate facts are before the country by
the statements of disintereSted visitors
from different parts of the land, after per
sOnal observation, and are known here and
deeply felt. WM. A. COURTENAH.

They chanced to meet at the young lady :
