A monster procession Of Odd Fellows
moved at about 2 O'Clock. The streets

Col. Lamont said tonight th a I the Prest-
dent had found Secretary Manning in
good health and spirits at their interview
IN Albany to-day, and that there was no
truth in the story that Mr.. Manning had
insisted upon the acceptance OF his resig-
nation, and that, therefore, there was, or
course, nothing at all in the rumor that
Secretary Manning would be appointed
to a foreign mission. From this 1t Is
inferred that Secretary Manning Will
return to Washington between Oct. and
10; that he will resume his duties as Sec
retary of the Treasury in time TO prepare
his annual report, and that he will con-
tinue at the head oil the Treasury Depart
ment until the close OF the present
administration. These deductions are
strengthened by the statement OF Secre-
tary Manning's physicianssas TO his con-
dition and OF has closest friends here as to
his intentions. or course Secretary
Manning will never work as hard again
as he did before his Illness. He will not
have to do so, however, for he
has now thoroughly mastered his
duties, and besides Assistant
Secretary Fairchild has so familiarized
himself with the duties of his chief as to
enable him 10 render the Secretary value
BILE assistance. Some arrangement Will
have TO be made to relieve Secretary Man
ming from the painful dutvsOf signing his
name In full to official letters and docu-
ments, the most exacting and fatiguing
of all his duties.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22,-May Joyce, a
young and pretty actress, who has been
filing an engagement at a summer thea
ire In . tent at Harlem, died yesterday,
after a short illness, during which she
was cared for by the people at the house
where she boarded, whose interest in her
had been excited by her evident poverty.
After her death all her worldly possess
sions, beside her clothing, were found to
be four big copper cents. The Actors
Fund was notified and had completed
preparations for her burial to-day, when
a telegram was received from the dead
girls husband at Syracuse, requesting
tnat the body be sent there. the tele-
gram also contained the information that
the dead actress had just fallen heir to
$4,000 by the death of an uncle. When
she died Miss Joyce was entirely unknown
in this city, but the investigation made
since her death shows that she was mar
ried at the age OF 10, and went upon the
stage a few years afterward, being COM
PEELED by i'll treatment and brutality to
leave her husband and two children. She
at one time filed excellent positions, but

The Mississippi River Commission in
an Unpleasant Predicament.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-rhe War De-
partment some days ago, in a communi-
cation to the Acting Attorney General,
informed him that Congress had made no
specific appropriation for the salaries of
the members of the Mississippi River
Commission, and asked for an opinion as
to whether their salaries could be paid
out of the appropriation for the improve
ment of the river. The Acting Attorney
General found that many of the duties
of the commission were permanent and
decided that the salaries of the members
OF the commission from civil life could no
more be paid out OF the appropriation
than could the salary Of the Secretary OF
War or those OF officers OF the engineer
corps Of the army, who are members OF
the commission. The commission desires
10 meet and begin work AT once, but, un-
der this decision, its members will have
TO serve without receiving their salaries
until provision Tor their payment shall be
made by the next Congress, and it is a
question whether they Will be able and
willing to do 80.

THE EsoUrHERN EARTHQUAKES
Report of Government Agent Sloan
ON the Disturbances.


ON the Disturbances.
COLUMBIA, sc, Sept. 22.-Mr. Sloan, the
special agent OF the United States Geo.
logical Survey at Charleston, was en-
gagged yesterday In making examinations
along the Northeastern railroad, in the
region of country between there and
Goose creek. he reports having exam
ined one locality, believed to be near the
axis OF disturbance, where, in a space 600
by 120 feet, the earth has been broken up,
producing a network of cracks varying
from line to % inches in breadth. In
some places the ground has been elevated,
and in others it has sunk as much as
8 inches. while the whole section at
lords an Insecure footing. The position
OF small trestle on the Northeastern
railroad near this locality has been sOme-
what changed by the shock, the super
structure having been shifted feet 10
inches from its original centre. Mr..
Sloan states that no volcanic action was
necessary for the production of the sui
phurous gases noticed in connection with
the recent subterranean disturbances.
The presence of these, he says, was un-
misIakable, and is to be accounted for
very naturally, as the immediate under
lying strata contain abundant nodules of
pyrItes, which through the usual process
of alteration afford hydrogen gas. This
gas escaped to the surface in unusual
quantities, owing to the recent violence.
and was manifested not only in 0dor, but
also in the pronounced darkening OF GER
tain lead paints used upon some OF the
houses in the city. There Is also excel
lent reason to suspect the presence OF
sulphurous oxide from the same source.

cinity, finally found his sister the Home

rushed into each others arms, but the
iron latticed convent door was barrier
between them. Alone i'll the world, Ellen
bad been admitted 10 the Home through
the offices of kind friends. She became a
novice. Her brother discovered that her
VOW would not expire until next July.
He would have taken her away at once
but the Catholic church does not willing
ly surrender her votaries, and the young
man was compelled to temporize. He
wrote his address on a piece OF paper and
handed it to his sister, but In addition to
his address he also wrote: ''Ellen | want
to take you away; will you CO." Ellen
responded by writing the name OF the in
stitution on another piece of paper, and
also the information: Eyes, but have no
clothes but these l wear, and my VOW
does not expire until July %, 1887" The
brother then left, and returning with her
father confessor, held another conference
with his sister. which finally resulted in
his agreeing to her staying until the pc
