Indians Visits to Washington.


A few years ago some one suggested
trip to Washington through the
great industrial centres of the country,
as method of impressing upon the
fractions aboriginals the hopelessness
of warning against the inhabitants of
this nation. The chiefs came reluct-
antly at first, but finding the quality
of Washing On whisky satisfactory,
and the white father not very formid-
able, they soon developed a propensi-
ty to communicate with frequently
and upon slight pretexts or no pre-
texts. The thieving rascals would
come red-handed from the warpath,
their camps crowded with cattle STAN
peded from border settlements, and
make'the most outrageous demands
upon the government, while, as a
kind OF expression ofgratitude for fav-
ors to come, they denounced to their
faces the white race, from president
down as thieves, liars and, an as
sortment OF other things. A lively
and memorable scene occurred in the
east room during one OF these pow
vows ABOUT SIX years ago. Inc pres
ident, secretary of the interior, com
missioner of Indian affairs and a
number Of senators, among them
Logan, were present. The Indians
were worse than the average bad lot,
and, presumlng upon the patience Of
the whites, were volleying abuse at
them. Logan s hair began to upend,
and finally, his Irish thoroughly
aroused, throwing aside all restraint,
he poured out upon those dirty rascals
all the pent-up wrath and disgust Of !
lifetime. His language may have
lacked polish, and doubt il some Of
the words he used can be found in che
3catechism. The agents got the Indians
away and out Of Washinst on as quick
~ as possible, and that was about
the last Of those aboriginal visits
except when business abs olutely
demanded them.

Medical Virtues Of Dry Earth,

From the Sanitary Era.
DR.. Addinell Hewson, of the Penn
sylvania hospital, Philadelphia, has
been experimenting with dry earth as
addressing for dangerous and offensive
wounds, sores, cancers, ETC., with
magical effect. The earth used was
such as is used in dry earth closet.
At the time gifts introduction AN

sive as to cause sickening, even dan

tilation OF the ward and the usual
disinfectants were hardly able even to
mitigate. It occurred to DR.. Hewson
to test the power of dry earth to ab.
sorh this odor as it had that of excre.

only Was the offensiveness entirely
overcome, but the effect on the char

THE SITUATION IN THE CITY.
People Remained Up All Night
More Damage than Expected.

People Remained Up All Night
More Damage than Expected.
The earthquake that terrorized the peo-
ple Of this city Tuesday night was the sole
topic of conversation yesterday morn
ing, and mingled with the recital OF per-
sonal experiences, was the constantly ex-
pressed anxiety to hear from Charleston.
The impression had somehow or other got
abroad that Charleston had suffered se-
verely.
There were thousands OF people in the
city who got ne sleep at all on Tuesday
night. Indeed, 1t might be said with
safety that at least half the people remain
ed outside their houses. They got to-
gether in groups on the porches, or in the
streets, and related TO each other their
respective experiences, and told OF the
damage which their houses had suffered.
They were afraid to return to their
tinued all the way from $3.50
Tuesday evening until 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning. At O'Clock
there was a shock which was quite per-
ceptible, and AT o'clock there was
shock that was noticed by great Apany
people. At the usual hour OF gong TO
market the people mad not yet all retired
to their homes. indeed they felt that they
could not sleep If they sought their beds,
and many were too nervous TO be COM
iortable within doors.
AN INVESTIGATION SHOWS
that the number OF buildings damaged to
a greater or less extent is much greater
than was supposed. In most instances
the damage is not great, consisting main
ly OF broken plaster and cracked walls.
None OF the large buildings have been
discovered to have suffered any serious
harm. III the stories OF personal expert
ence which each one has to tell
could be collected they would make an in
teresting volume. Different persons we're
effected differently by the shocks. Many
ladies tainted, others suffered from ner-
vous attacks, and IL is related that In
their fright some crawled under a bed.
The colored people were badly scared.
Yesterday morning some OF them as
serted that there would be great shock
at l O'Clock. They were doubtless agree
ably disappointed.
The children do not appear to have been
greatly alarmed. They doubtless did not
know their danger.
Throughout the morning owners
of buildings were quite busjly in
spectinR their property. From the ac-
counts received they were gratifled that
they suffered so little. The city certainly
bad a narrow escape from a great dis
aster. In every part OF the city pictures
were shaken from the walls, lamps over
thrown, and glass and crockery ware
broken.
MANY BUILDINGS CRACKED.
The streets we're filed all night with
people who dared not remain In their
houses. The damage was greater than
was first estimated. All over the city
heavy walls are cracked, aud the side
walks are covered with debris from chim-
neys aud roofs. In the lower part OF the
city the walls OF heavy buildings
are cracked. and plaster cell

damage The walls are cracked

til nearly O'Clock, by which time the
hre had been got under control and the
danger OF a disastrous fire was spared to
the night Of horror.
SCENES IN THE OPEN PLACES.
At that hour every park, square and
vacant lot In the city was occupied by
people. 1t is safe to say that the whole
OF Charleston passed the night out OF
doors. In many cases shattered homes
were revisited and children and women
provided with clothing and cover
ing that the infinite mercy
which ssems to be meted out
to u stricken people 30 tempered the
wind and weather that the frightened
people were spared many dlscomforts
and hardships. The dead were laid in
the open air. The wounded were pro-
videdIwith temporary pallets in lawns or
on the streets. Everyone waited patiently
for the coming OF dawn, which would at
least tighten the horrors of the occasion.
AT the lowest estimate the loss Will be
about double that caused by the cyclone
OF last year.
ANOTHER SHOCK.
CHARLESTON, Sept. l, II 30 P. MA
severe shock OF earthquake has just been
felt here.
MORE HOUSES KNOCKED DOWN.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Sept. l, II 30 P. NJ.

AN OVERTURNED LAMP.

One OF the first fires that broke out was
caused by an overturned lamp In house
on Blake street. Most Of the tires in diff
ferent sections OF the city we're subdued
by 1880 O'Clock, save one on King, near
brisky. There was but one engine
available for this Ore. Fortunately the
water mains were not injured and there
was an abundant supply Of water. There

Danger brings us all TO the level OF the
lowllest. There were no distinction Of
place or power, pride or cast in the as
semDlages that were gathered in Charles
ton on Tuesday night. 1t was curious
spectacle 10 look back upon. IL is a good
one to remember tor white and black
alike. There were instances Of unsel1sh
devotion, of kind and loving regard be-
tween master and servant, mistress and
maid, in the presence Of the common Ill
and Of the threatened ruin that showed,
as nothing else could show, how strong is
the tie that binds our white people and our
black people together, aud this lesson Of
the dread visitor we may hope, too, will
never be forgotten. Arrived at his home,
the writer found the same scenes OF dis
traction and wreck which ruled In nearly
every other home in the city. All the
houses IN the neighborhood had suffered
seriously, and streets, yards and gardens

The Cloves Marriage.

CHICAGO, March 12.-In Judge
knickerbOcker's Court yesterday
morning Miss Lizzie Kelseys petition
was denied and she was declared not
the wife of Chas. Cloves. This
deprives her OF any share in the Cloves
estate. Cloves killed his mistress in
bagnio in this city two months ago
and then killed himself. Miss Kelsey
was living here as the supposed wife
of Cloves, but on the settlement of his
estate could produce no record of
marriage. Her attorneys set up the
claim to common law marriage, con.
tending that he had repeatedly intro.
duced her as his wife. She claimed
that a private ceremony which she
supposed to be a perfect marriage con-
tract had been performed in New
York, but that it was not recorded.

graphs to Receiver Brown from Big

Central division of the Texas Pacific
road stating that they desired TO cor
rect tbs report that they had refused to
go out on their run and saying that
they held themselves in readiness to
respond TO the orders of the receivers
and were not supporting the strikers.

Brown replied, saying: 81 was pre-
pared to receive just such a manly,
frank telegram, sir have regarded
you all the time as entirely faithful to
