SCORES OF VESSELS LOST.
The Atlantic Coast Strewn With Victims
of the Storm.


of the Storm.
NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 12.-The damage
done to shipping along the southern
coast by the hurricane that has ragged
for the past week is beginning to mani
fest itself as vessels which were caught in
it arrive in port. The steamer Ethel
bald, Jamaica for Philadelphia, reports
to-day that on September 2, off Castle
Island, she encountered terrific gale
blowing from the north-northwest, and
lasting ten hours. during which
the vessel was hove to and
awash from stem to stern. The
seas smashed her steering gear, stove
in her deck houses, carried away her
boats and injured several of
her crew. The bark Nora Virgins
was blown ashore at Sagua and
is total loss with a portion of her crew
missing. The brig G. s. Packard sank
at her wharf at the same place during
the hurricane, the crew barely having
time to escape with their
lives. Another large three-mast-
ed schooner went to pieces
on Frying Pan Shoals. Her name is un
known. The schooner E5k, from Mara
caibo for New York, has gone ashore
near Watchapreague and broken
up, and her cargo is scat
tered along the coast. Reports at
present are meager, as those most in
jured are sailing vessels, and it will be
some time before they reach port. The
loss is at present impossible to estimate,
but will probably reach 81 100000.

EARTHQUAKE IN GREECE.
Heavy Loss by the Eruption In the
Vicinity of the Gulf of Corinth.

Vicinity of the Gulf of Corinth.
ATHENS, Sept. 1.-THE shocks of
earthquake at Vostitza yesterday were
severe and caused much damage and
some loss oflife. Many buildings were de-
stroyed and streets are impossible. Two
dead bodies have been taken from the
ruins and there is reason to believe 9TH
ers are buried, as the first shock anne
so suddenly that there was no tin for
escape. Many persons are injured, Fhe
entire population is living in the open
spaces within and outside the city.
The shocks extended beyond the town,
and villages in the vicinity suffered in
greater or lesser degree. The telegraph
cable between Corinth anu Patras
was broken. The disturbance must
have been very violent at the bottom of
the gulf and there must have been an
upheaval of the bed of the sea to have
caused the breakage of the submarine
cable. The king has gone to the scene
OF disaster and ordered additional tents
and rations for the destitute people.

A Reiteration Of the Message.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
The letter is, to all intents and pur-
poses, a reiteration of that message with
few bits of protection trimming, care
fully cut out and basted on by the kitch-
en- cabinet in the hope of catching the
eyes of the unwary. There is nothing
in it to change the issue as made up be-
tween the two great parties, and moth
ing that will lead the country to regard
the continuance of the Democratic party
in even limited control of the govern
ment as anything but a menace to the
prospe rity of the country.

MEDICAL MEN BAFFLED.

The Victim of an Assassin's Bullet Living
With Shattered VertebrR.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE
case of M. II. Wilson, who was shot by
Nicoli, eleven weeks ago, absolutely
battles medical men and furnishes
a precedent for medical history. The
ball passed clear through his neck,
tearing out portion Of the vertebr@
and causing complet. paralysis of the
body below the neck. Wilson
cannot feel pins when they are stuck
into his body anywhere, but holds
his flesh and appetite, and can talk, rest,
etc. He may live years with his flesh
below the neck as white as alabaster
and as nerveIesS as sponge.

With these figures in his hand the Cleveland
partisan goes about saying: "Lo. here See the
proof that the present Executive Is tire veterans
friend. He has signed in three years nearly
three times as many pension bills as did Presi-
dent Grant in eight years, and within TOO as
many as Republican Presidents did in twenty
four years.
Neither General Black nor any other Demo-
crat will say that Grover Cleveland loves the
soldier of the Union more than the Republican
Presidents did. But he is willing that the
figures he has ingeniously arranged should say
so, nor help to relieve them of the false showing
Lincolns administration was taken up with
preserving the Union, with carrying on the war
of the rebellion which filled the country with
future applicants for pensions. Pension legisla-
ton was barely reached in his time. He signed
every pension laid before him. So, under the
Republican Presidents who followed him. 1t
required time to get pension legislation and
by General Blacks figures of the general pension
laws, under which the bulk of the pension pay
ments is made The arrears-of-pension legisla-
ton brought forward the individual claims and
accounts for the increase of private pensions.
1t is therefore by the bills vetoed instead OF
by those signed that the regard of Presidents
for the veterans is to be measured. A table
showing the pension bills vetoed since 1861, by
administrations, would tell the story of Presi-
dent Clevelands love for the veterans, even
emitting the brutal language which he seemed
to take delight in using to express his negative.
We supply the lack liz General Blacks report of
such table:
