CHARLESTON, September 20.-The
condition Of Summerville for the last
three day in regard to the earthquake
disturbances has been very reassuring,
and the people are strongly Impressed
With the belief that the annoying
iremofs and detonations are about to
Cease. On Saturday lass the whole day
passed without even as much as deto-
ration. There were only two scarcely
audible explosions on Saturday right,
separated by an interval OF two hours.
On Sunday about 0 o'clock A. NJ. there
was a plainly-aIdible explosion, which
was unaccomp-nied by the usual tire
bling of the earth. At ii O'Clock Su
day night there was tremor which,
the people have become accustomed ID
such manifestations, caused little COM
ment. At2 o'clock this morning there
was smother slight shock of the same
character. The decorations and tro-
mors are not at very long intervals, and
are UNDECIDED except by the most tim
orous.
The situation in Charleston is bright
or and more cheering, fact which IS
largely due to favorable weather, and
escape from a Threatened Wes,-India
hurricane. The death list from the eff
fects of exposure is fOrty-nine as against
seventy-nine in the previous week.
There is still a scarcity of skilled
bricklayers and plas.erers, and wages
are ct earthquake prices. The fright
caused by old shocks is generally sub
siding and refugees are returning to the
CITY.

PARNELL's LAsD BILL.
He EarBesfiy Usges Its second Read
ing Tn rnc House.

icy Anglo. american cable o the Dispstcn.I
LONDON, September 20.-Mr. Par.
nell, in moving the second reading OF
bis land bill in the House OF Commons
to-day, said the recent elections con-
vey ed a mandate to the House Of Com
mons that it should show itself willing
and able to provide for the wants Of Ire
land equally as If it were an Irish Par
lament. Cheers 1t was useless to
talk about the lateness Of the session.
The House was only six weeks old. A
majority of the new members
we're young, fresh, and not over
worked. and they did not require
holiday. A state Of urgency
existed with reference to the relations
between landlords and tenants in Ire
land. Mr.. Parnell here explained the
provisions Of the bill. The first clause,
be said, was the most important because
it dealt with the most urgent subject.
II enacted that any statutory tenant
whose rent was fixed prior to the last
day OF the year 1884 might apply for
al abatement in accordance with the
provision Of the bill. The bill was to
be a temporary measure, with the ex-
ception of the second clause. 1t was
intended to provide for what he hoped
would be only a temporary emergency.
1t was intended to meet the depression
in prices, but he could not tell now
whether the depression was likely to
continue. The depression commenced
in 1885 and had continued undated
ever since. "There are no signs Of re-
covery," said Mr. Parnell. "Indeed,
the signs for the future are growing
worse, but only ask the House to take
action with regard to rents falling due
next November, and that will be in the
next session Of Parliament. Until the
House is able to take action on the re-
port OF the royal commission we will
abstain entirely from prejudicing the
Government proposals. But we do
know that since the bulk Of judicial
rents have been fixed there has been
great depression in prices"

The New silver CersiHcates.


WASHINGTON, September 20.-Ar-
rangements are being made at the Trea-
suIy Department for the early distribu-
ton of the new silver certificates which
are now being printed at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing as rapidly as
possible. The first batch Of one-dollar
certificates was received at the Tres-
suiy Department to-day. 1t consisted
of 5000 sheets and amounted to $780,
Geo. They now need only the zeal Of
the Treasury Department to be finished
NOES. The Bureau will continue to
print these notes at the rate OF $40, 900
a day during the present week. Adii-
tional facilities will DO supplied mex,
week by which the issue will be
increased to $4,000 a day. Or
ders for these bills in large amounts
have been received from all parts Of the
country. 1t is the purpose Of tho De-
partment, however, to hold the notes
until the supply will allow a pro rcia
distribution of respectable AMOUNT to
each sectien Of the country, and they
will be shipped from Washington so as
to secure their simultaneous delivery at
the different Treasures. 1t is ex-
pected that the " ones" will DO put
into general circulation in about two
weeks. The two-dollar certificates are
somewhat delayed, and will not DE
ready for issue for about three weeks.
They are in great demand, and their
completion will be fastened as much as
possible.

fresidsns Davis Tbts Evening".
Ibe visit Of Miss Winnie Davis Ia
richmond has recalled many reminis-
cehces Of the last DAYS Of the Confede-
rscy.
AT st. Paul's on Sunday morning she
sat IN "tbe Presidents pew" where
per ia'her was seated on Sunday, April
= 1865, when he received intelligence
mar General Lees lines had been
broken at Petersburg, rscessitating the
evacuation Of Richmond that night.
ne same rector 1.-THE venerable and be-
loved DR.. Minnigerode) who was in the
pulpit on last Sunday was officiating on
that sad Sabbath in '65, and there are
hundreds now living who were then
present and Witnessed the calm dignity
and measured tread with which Presi.
dert Davis quietly left the church and
went to the War Department to give
necessary orders in the crisis then upon
the Confe6eracy.
On last Wednesday Miss Winnie
spent several hours at Old Point and
visited the fort whose guns were wont
to fire in honor Of the great Secretary
Of War-Jeferson Dav;s-and whose
portals flew ope, at his coming, but
within whose walls President Davis
was incarcersted through weary months,
aud then released without the trial
which he begged for and the Govern
ment did not dare to give him. She
was shown the casemate in which her
father was imprisoned after the remon-
strances OF the surgeons and the cutlery
Of outraged humanity had secured his
reno ;al from the damp cell in which
he was first confined and where he was
ironed.
Before Mrs. Davis was permitted to
see Der husband the nurse would carry
the little girl and the sentinel would
pass her through to her father, who
called her his little comforter" and
formed for her then the afFectiOnate de-
yotion which has made Miss Winnie
ever since the companion and the solace
Of the great chieftain.
Under what different circumstances
she walked around the fort the other
day with a party o. friends and enjoyed
greatly everything she saw.
The reception which Lee Camp will
give this afternoon at $50 o'clock, at
the Soldiers Home, to 1.-THE child Of
the Confederacy," whom they have
elected an honorary member, will doubt
less be very pleasant affair, and will
revive some ha''owed memories in the
veterans who may be present.
Miss Davis is receiving, as is meet, a
great deal Of attention from our people,
and is by her sweet manners, charming
conversational powers, and varied &C
complishments winning for herself the
admiration which Richmond always
cherished for her distinguished father
snd her accomplished, noble mother.

The Nebrasks Commandery, as stated

ply because there was no other Com

question involved seems to DO what IS
known in politics as q " States rights
problem, and. according to one OF the
Nebraska opponents Of the proposed
changes, the Knights, speaking in gene
raj terms, are divided on about the same
geographical lines as those which have
heretofore marked the dominance OF the
political parties upholding Estates
rights " and Capitalization respectively.
The circular issued by the Nebraska
Commandery takes very strong ground
against the proposed changes, claiming
that their adoption would accomplish
