THE RESTORATION OF
CHARLESTON.

The state of affairs at Charleston
is far different from what it was
week ago. The change was noticea-
BILE especially Wednesday. The work
of re-opening thoroughfare which a
week ago was in full blast has been
suspended. Communications are now
pretty well restored, the telegraph
lines are 10 operation and the tele-
phone exchange is working nearly
everywhere. The worst feature of
the day was heavy rain in the morn
ing which injured considerably the
contents of exposed dwellings and
made the remaining campers out es-
pecially uncomfortable. But the dis
comfort and loss were nothing in COM
parison with what would have been
the effect of a down-pour 10 days
ago. The feature of the day, as on
the previous Sunday, was open-ail
worship. The Mariners church had
services on one of the ships in the
harbor. The Presbyterian and Hugh
not church service were on the Bat
terry. The congregation of Grace
church worshlpped in the Sunday
school building the Second Presby
terrain congregation in the residence
of j. S. Riggs; St. Johns Lutheran
in its Sunday-school and other con
gregations in their own churches
There was marked devotion every
where. The close Of the week en-
ables the work of the relief commit
tees to be reviewed, and it is certai
that every one needing food an
shelter has been provided for. b
sides this most valuable work hs
been done by what is designated {

he did before the warm weather be-
gan, but will take a vacation after
the president returns.
Secretary Lamar has been away
from Washington over two weeks
now, and as he makes it a rule never
to be long absent frqp his office, he
is also expected TO return during the
week.
OF all the members of the cabinet,
with the exception of Mr.. Bayard,
Secretary Whitney has taken the
least real vacation during the sum-
mer. He left the city about the mid
die of August, but he has been in
specting navy yards and naval sta
tons along the eastern coast, and is
in constant daily communication with
his department. His correspondence
on some days is quite voluminous.
He says that August and September
are the worst months to spend in
Washington, and so he is not expect
ed for about ten days yet.
Attorney General Garland differs
widely from the secretary of the navy
in his way of taking vacation. He is
in Arkansas, enjoying his favorite
amusement, shooting. He has only
written to his department once since
he left.
So much has been said about Sec
rotary Manning's health, and the
probabilities of an early or late re-
sumption by him of the difficult du-
ties of his office, that those not be-
hind the scenes can scarcely venture
an opinion. 1t is now six months
since he has been at his desk; the
first few weeks were spent at his
residence here, under constant medi-
cal attendance. Since then he has
been at Warm Springs, Va, at the
seaside, and lately he has been at his
home in Albany and moving about
from place to place in New York
state. He has undoubtedly improv-
ed very much, and it is probable that
he will ultimately recover his health.
But it is feared that if he attempts to
| resume his onerous duties at his desk
in the treasury, he will break down,
and his family do not wish him tc
take any risks.
The question then naturally arises
"Who will take the portfolio that Mr.
Manning resigns?" The general opin
ion is that the next secretary of The
financial bureau will be Mr.. Fairchild
who has been acting secretary of tina
department during Mr.. Manning
illness. He is one of the most indie
fatigable workers under the presen
administration. He has taken n,
vacation this year, and does not ex
pect to do so. Every morning at hal
past nine O'Clock he is promptly a
his desk, where he remains, conduct
ing the business of the great institu
ton over which he presides, unit
about five o'clock in the evening
He says his duties do not seem ardu
Gus to him, and the only recreatio
he needs is his morning and evenin
equestrian exercises. Since comm
to Washington Mr.. Fairchild has er
joyed the best of health and proud
declares that he has not had a touc
of the much-talked-of malaria. Il
has mastered every detail of the trea
ury department., and carries the por
folio of the secretary of the treasul
to every cabinet meeting which tt
: latter has not been able to attend.

Special correspondence OF THE LEApFR.
RAwLINs, Wyo Oct. lG, 1886 This
has been court week here, and the
town has been full of strangers. Some of
the brightest lights Of the Wyoming bar
have been retained in the cases to be
brought before this tern of court for
trial. Charles j. O'Brien, indicted for
murder IN the first degree in connection
with the killing ofJohn LAWN. a year ago.
was acquitted Of the charge by the jury
on the first ballot, the Jury being out but
fifteen minutes Mr.. j. h. Dixon, for
the defense. made a most eloquent and
convincing argument in favor of the pris-
oner.
1t appears a little singular that, while
it was clearly the facts in the case of the
shooting of LAWN, that the men engaged
in the affray were trying all they knew
how, to kill one another. and did actually
kill an innocent third party, nobody has
received any punishment for the crime.
The grand jury in its report, severely
cen>ures the loose manner in which pre-
llminary examinations have been conduc.
ted, especially in stock cases, claiming
that it has cost the county thousands Of
dollars in useless expenditure and waste OF
time.
The construction of the Rawlins &
Glenwood Springs railroad, has given a
new impetus to the town. The terminus
OF the railroad is to be at this point. The
plant of the machine shops here is to be
largely increased, and a larger force OF
workmen employed.
Stage travel is very heavy at this point
Just now. The passengers generally con-
sist of hunting parties and live stock
spectators. The Southern line runs two
six horse coaches daily, while there are
two lines now on the road between here
and Lander.
Some disappointment was manifested
on receipt Of the intelligence that MIR. II.
G. Balch had declined the Democratic
nomination for Carbon county
would have rolled up a handsome ma
jority for him, as he is deservedly popular
here.
This county will undoubtedly elect
nearly the entire Democratic county
ticket this f,ll. The experience OF the
past two years has disguised nearly every
body with the Republican party machine.

Mr.. W. II. Wallace was yesterday ad-
mitted to the county hospital for the
treatment of a badly torn hand.
Mr.. Wallace has been engaged in doing
station work ON the grade OF the Cheyenne
y Northern, about forty miles from the
city. On last Sunday he started from his
camp to go to the new town of Chug-
water. He was riding a broncho and
leading another specimen of the same in
terestinE species.
A short time after starting on his
Journey the animal he was leading began
pulling back after the manner Of his kind,
This excited the envy of the beast under
the saddle, and turning tail he begar
to pull back also. As the bronchos thu,
amused themselves, the lead rope Mr..
Wallace held became wrapped about
his hand. and when the brutes had
finished their little frolic. the hand was
badly torn, one of the fingers especially
being mangled.
Despite his painful injuries, Mr.. Wal
lace, who is an old timer of 50, hard!
and tough as a pine knot. continued hi
ride. arriving at his destination on time
From there he drove a team in to Chey
enne, getting here yesterday morning.

Jerry o,DEL,.
One of Colorado's Did Time knights OF
the Whip--A Crazy Wanderer.

Thecrazy tramp Of the McKeever ranch,
and the ragged lunatic who has been
h ,unting the depot yards o night prove
to be one and The same person, and that
persons name is Jerry O'Dell, a name
craven deep in the ~stage-driving annals
OF Colorado.
Poor Jerry has indeed fallen from the
height he once occupied, as one of the
most famous knights OF the whip, who
ever welded a lash or held the reins on
the mountain st ,ge lines ofthe Centennial
state. Crazed by liquor he is now a
wandering tramp, sunk in all the AFFECT
ness OF his sorry lie, except when the
memories of former years are revived, and
then his bent form will straighten, his
faded and vacant eve fash with the fire of
yore, and his broken, ouerulous voice ring
once more loud and clear, as he tells of the
past glories of Jerry O'Dell.
Jerry was stage driver in Colorado for
over twenty years. There are men now
in this city to whose ears his name is a
trumpet sound recalling the days that
are gone, and in the Centennial state it.
self, a host of memories will throng the
minds Vt hundreds, as the name of the
famous stage driver meets the eye.
Jerry drove on nearly all of the Colo
RADIO mountain lines. His greatest lame.
however, was gathered on the route from
Beuna Vista to Leadville in the time OF
the great carbonate expcitement. On this
line people always felt that they we're
safe when Jerry O'Dell held the
reins, in spite of the fact that he
made tho best time over the mountain
roads ever recorded. HIS driving was a
happy mixtu-e of daring and judgment,
mi whether the coach das he'd at a break
p ice along the dizzy ledge of a %yawning
chasm, or turned AL holds loose down
a precipitous decline, it was guided by a
cool, quick. and steady eye, a skillful
hand, and a brave heart.
Jerrv's account of his Wyoming ex-
periences, like himself at present, is de-
cidedly shaky. He tells a hating, feeble
tale Of working on the grade of the Chey-
enne & Northern for a contractor he never
knew, and Of an unmaterialize1 pass he
was to obtain BY some mythical means
from Cheyenne to Denver. This latte r
part of the poor fellow story will be re-
allied here, however, as the city has
procured him a pass to Denver, and he
will leave for that point this morning
