to convince him that the matter
was not so serious, he came to the
conclusion that he had damned the
two children's souls to eternal tor

with them the consequences of his

his own body would be burned in

Charleston In History.

Charleston, South Carolina, "the
beautiful city by the sea-" is as well
the Queen City OF Disasters. 1t was
founded by VIM. Gayle in 1879,
and it has experienced every gale
of misfortune since that date and
its spirit is not quenched. During
the Revolution it was assaulted
three times by the British with in
tent to kill, and was finally cap
tured in 1880. Not satisfied with
this, one day twenty thousand
pounds Of powder exploded and
swept many lives and millions of
property out of existance. From
1907 to 1861 thirteen millions of dol
lars in property hoated out of the
place on waves of fire. In 1861 the
greatest war of modern times was
inaugurated in Charleston, and the
boom of the first gun OF the re-
bellion rose like knell over the
town. -Four years later the beautiful
city-a wreck of buildings, rotting
decks, grass grown streets and
pathetic rulns-fell into the hands
of the United States troops. Then at
odd intervals, to mark her progress
from that dreadful period, came
Pestilence, clothed in the yellow
garb of death, and touched the
young and old, the rich and poor.
Last year, in August, the most
furious cyclone which had ever Wis.
tied our coasts swept like tho pow
er Of Omnipotence over the fated
city, and trees, parks, docks and
buildings went down to earth, and
the frightened waves of the sea,
beaten by the winds beyond the
shore, rushed over the ruins in a
wild attempt to escape upon land.
Ten millions of dollars represented
the loss to the city in actual wealth,
of this visitation. This year, with
the scars of her last battle with
Nature still fresh, comes the earth
quake, such an one as wrenched
the nerves of earth in this land, and
once more Charleston is the centre
Of n circumference of destruction.
To-day the city is a wreck. To
she will be beautiful again.
IFated to suffer, she is made grander
by her suffering, and her people,
more than two hundred
years, stand brayely by her. Dis
Outraged by no disaster, dlsheart-
,red by no reyerses ever courageous
md faithful, they lift above the
ruins new throne for their queen,
md whole nation joins with them
n loyalty to their beautiful city by

Probable Murder In West Virginia.

The Romney Nv. VA htelH.
gencer of Friday last says: "AIr.
John H. Broll, gentleman resid-
ing near Moorefeld and we'll known
here, purchased a piece of land
seven miles beyond MoOrefeld
which had been taken up and
planted into an orchard several
years ago by a family named Robo.
The purchase resulted in quarrel
between the parties, and on Friday
last, while Mr.. BrOll was getting
fruit from a tree, he was assaulted
by two men painted black and
beaten senseless. They then took
a revolver from him and fired a
ball through his head, leaving him
for dead. He was found and taken
home, where he lies in a semi.con-
scious condition, and the physician
thinks his chances of recovery are
slim. One of the Bobos has been
arrested on the charge of belonging
TO the party of assailants."

Serious Elevator Accident.

CHICAGO, Sept, ca serious
elevator accident occurred at Ar
mour & Co.'s packing house at the
stock yards yesterday. John Ross,
James Hurley, William Martin and
William Morris entered the cage on
the first floor, intending to 90 to
the second story. Ross started the
elevator, and when the second stO-
nv was reached he attempted TO
stop it but failed. Morris conclud-
ed something was wrong, and open
ing the wicker door he jumped out
on the second floor. In the mean
time the speed of the machine be-
came vislbly accelerated. Ross
tugged manfully at the wire cord to
stop the machine, but his efforts
were useless. The heavy machine
whizzed through the second and
third stories with trightful velocity,
and striking the roof, fully GO feet
from the ground, was shattered. In
a second the broken car fell to the
ground below, the men going with
it. Ross had bis collar bone and
an arm broken, besides sustaining
internal injuries. Hurley had his
right foot broken and legs bruised,
while Martin was injured internal
", but sustained no broken bones.
After the accident, the cause was
Investigated. The wire cord by
which the elevator was stopped
was out on and across the roof Of
the house. Some one carelessly
rolled a barrel filled with some ma
terial on the wire rope holding it
firm.

Knights Of Labor Laws.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 1T is un-
derstood that at the National Con-
vention of the Knights of Labor at
Richmond next month changes in
the present laws will be made that
will amount practically to a com.
plete reorganization of the order
The district plan has not proven so
successful as was expected, for the
reason that in many places districts
have been formed within districts,
and in consequence the local
strength has been divided. The
great number of district assemblies
also makes it impossible tor the
general officers, even with the az.
sistance given the executive board
at the Cleveland meeting, to keep
I'D with business. The result is
that important matters frequently
cannot be investigated promptly
enough to prevent dissatisfaction.
To remedy this, it is proposed to
model after the government Of the
United States-that is, to have state
organizations and a supreme or ma
tional assembly. The state assem-
blies, under the new plan, will have
control of the territory under their
jurisdiction, but the acts of their
officers will be subject to reversal
by the general master workman
Thus, Mr. Powderly will retain SUI
preme control, while gaining relief
from the routine work that now
falls on his shoulders. The plan
has been thoroughly canvassed sin %
the adjournment of the Cleveland
convention, and there is little doubt
but that it will be adopted.

The Treasury department will
continue to destroy all the one and
two dollar Treasury notes that
come in. They will be redeemed
only IN notes of larger denomina-
ton or silver dollars until the low
denomination silver certificates are
ready to be issued. The depart.
ment is very anxious TO get the one
and two dollar silver certificates
out as soon as possible, as the de-
msnd is very large, and it is ex-
pected that thirty or forty million
dollars of silver will be put in
circulation through this medium
1t is felt that something is lost by
every days delay in getting them
out, but 1t will be impossible to get
the engraving and printing done
so as to issue them before next
month. BY the policy of withhold.
ing one dollar Treasury notes from
an immense number of
silver dollars have been issued,
but the demand for convenient
small notes is 80 great that it is
expected that there will be call
for almost as many as they will
print.

An amusing incident happened
in q Liverpool church the other
Sunday. The pews of the church
had been vanished the week pre-.
vious, and we're not yet entirely
dry. The congregation did not
know this. The clergyman came
out of the vestry-room, and began
the service by reading the sentence:
"Rend your hearts and not your
garments etc, the people rising
as he began. But to the horror Of
every one they found themselves
stuck fast to the seats and, though
they had just been told not to do
so, many of them literally rent their
garments in their efforts to get up.

SOUTHWEST virginia.

The Republicans Of the 9th dis
trict have done themselves credit
by nominating Henry Bowen, Of
Tazewell, to represent the people Of
the grand old Southwest in the
fiftieth congress. Mr.. Bowen has y
record as a representative man
which is unassalable. He was in
the legislature that begun the con
test against the iniquitOus funding
fraud of II, and never faltered in
the line of duty to his hardwOrking
and producing constituents, -Four
years ago he was nominated by his
party convention for congress, and
he rolled up majority that made
his section the citadel Of free
thought, free speech ana free ac-
ton. Before the last Republican
state convention he was the only
man spoken Of in opposition to
Hon. John s. Wise for governor.
The platform adopted by the con
ventOn is the best evidence of the
quality of men constituting it. For
brevity and emphatic declaration it
is a model. Every man can read it
in moment and understand 1t as
he reads it. Bowen is just the man
to fit this platform
We, the representatives Of the
Republican party of the 9th Con
gressional District of Virginia, re-
affirm our devotion to the great
fundamental principles of the Ma
tional Republican party; and es-
pecially do we favor the following {:
LIST. A tariff that will protect
American labor and industries.
2nd. The passage by Congress of
the Blair Educational Bill, that was
twice passed by the Republican
Senate and twice defeated in DEM
ocratic House.
3rd. The speedy repeal of the In
ternal Revenue laws.
4th, We endorse the financial
policy of the National Republican
party.
9TH. The maintenance of the Rid
dleberger settlement Of the state
debt and an effort to procure the
good will and services of the u. ).
government in its contamination
and aid in its payment.
9th. We oppose the importation
of paUper labor.
In nominating Bowen, Judge
Wood of Scott county concluded a
beautiful speech with the follow
ing:
Mr.. Chairman, again pail Of
gloom and dependency has over.
spread this country. From the
lakes of the North to the gulf on
the South-from the sandy shores
of the Atlantic to the golden gate
of California, business stagnatiOn,
strikes and rots are the fashion,
Democratic misrule has caused this
in two short years. Again the gal
liant sons of Southwest Virginia
have lighted the beacon fires Oflib-
erty and honest government on
every hilltop and valley and again
they desire to place the flag of the
Republican party into the hands Of
her true and tried son Henry Bowen
of Tazewell county.
pledge Henry Bowen to the
doctrine of protection to the labor
ing industries of this country and
the development of Virginia forests
and mines; to the Blair Educa-
tional bill and to an honest and I'M
flinching discharge of his duty in
the cause of honest and economical
government.

SHOCKS.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Sept. s.
Things are settling down in Char
lesion, and the slight tremOrs Of
earthquake which is felt once or
twice Il day attract little more at.
tentioD than the rnmbling Of a
passing wagon. Laborers are at
work in every direction clearing
away the masses of fallen brick
and stone, and there are strenuous
efforts made to protect the injured
buildings from the expected rains.
Everywhere there are signs of a
restoration of the normal cOndi-
ton of things, and business is
transacted inst as usual.
RELIEF WORK.
The relief committee which was
organized last Saturday is actively
at work and has now provided ac-
cOmmodations in tents and in huts
for over three thousand persons. -
Besides this, the subsistence com
mittee is in full swing and is serv-
ing out today ample rations of
meat, bread and sugar to all worthy
applicants. The plan is to make
the distribution hereafter upon the
recommendation of the clergymen
of the different denominations of
the city.
SUBSCRIPTIONS COMING IN FREE
LY.
Subscriptions continue to come
in very freely, and the aggregate
now is about one hundred thousand
dollars. This will 60 q long way
towards relieving the present dis
tress in the city, but is only a drop
in the bucket in comparison with
what is required to make Charles
ton what it was little more than a
week ago.

away and leaped from the platform

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. IA
strange Incident of last weeks
earthquake was the restoration OF
speech to Miss Minnie Martus,
daughter of a retired officer of the
regular army. The young lady is
a pretty blonde of about IL years.
At the close of the war her father
was put IN charge of Forts Pulaski
and JACKSON on the river. While
at the former fort the daughter, a
bright, intelligent little girl, was
attacked with meningitis, which
left her voleeIess. The first shock
last Tuesday night excited her
greatly. and her family was sur
prised to hear her cry and scream,
Since then she has gradually re-
gained her speech, and now talks
fiuently. She was almost dellrous
with ioy at first, and had trouble
finding words to express her
thoughts. Physicians say the case
is very unusual.
