ton between Somers Point and Atlantic
City is had by boat, but the furious
storm now raging renders it impossible
for boat to run between these places.
A dispatch received by General Manager
Pugh of the Pennsylvania railroad to-day
from Somerset Point that boatmen ar
irving there report that the tide has cut
through the beach in number of places
across Absccom beach between Long
Port and Atlantic City, a distance of
about five miles. At South Atlantic
City three houses have been washed
away. The railroad running along the
beach from Long Port to Atlantic City
is almost entirely destroyed. These
boatmen also say that one large hotel,
a number of smaller places, and the en-
tire board walk along the ocean in front
of Atlantic City have been washed away.
This board walk was about three miles
long, and was lined with expensive
booths, bath houses and places of amuse-
ment, and it is presumed that these also
were carried away. The inlet at the
northern end of Atlantic is also reported
to be flooded, and much damage to prop
crty on that part of the island must en-

lantic City is in very deplOrablc condi-

of the people on the island precarious
it is necessary that the water should rise
seven feet higher than it has ever been
before; and this fact leaves ground for
the hope that the damage will he con-
fined to property, and that no lives will
be lost. The place depends on the out
side world for its provisions, and unless
communication is reestablishcd within
twenty-four hours there is likely to be
scarcity of food there. All that has been
said of Atlantic City applies with equal
force to Sea Isle City. There arc a large
number of residents at the latter place,
and it is impossible to obtain informa-
tion as to the state of affairs there. As

AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL.
Long Established and Noted for
Its Thorough Training,

We notice the return ofMiss Champion
from summer trip north. By reference
to our columns it will be seen that her
school opens September 25. This school
is long established, and in it all teaching
is OF the most thorough character, by
improved methods on advancing lines;
awakening and guiding the minds of
children, and building on sure founda-
tlons for all work. The kindergarten
is under the charge of Miss Garrison, a
graduate of the Cincinnati Training
School, and the only trained kindergar-
ten teacher in Asheville. Miss Garrison
has been perfecting herselfin her special
department and in calisthenics during
the past few months that she has been
absent from Asheville, and returns bet
ter fitted than before to resume her work,
During the summer the school-room
space has been more than doubled, Civ
ing sunny, warm, and well ventilated
rooms. The advantages of this excellent
school are well known to most of our
residents, and we take pleasure in recon-
mending it to those of our visitors here
for the fall or winter who have children
to educate,

business In the Grain Center Dur
Ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, September 11.-There was a
stubhornly firm market, within %c.
range to-day. The bulk of the trading
up to noon i'll December was around
7S1sa7S9s, or Aa3s above yesterdays
| closing quotation for that future. The
opening range was from ha3sc. higher.
The initial sales of December were at
1886. A little later the price was 7S34c.,
and after E2c. reaction it climbed back 10
that figure again. So far aspublic cables
were concerned they told of nothing but
quiet markets on the other side at I'M
changed prices. Private cables were DOS
itively bearsh in tone. As a rule the
scarcity of No. 2 wheat both in and out
side of elevators is beginning to attract
general attention, and without doubt is
a mild deterrent at present to free short
selling. This and the government crop
report was what gave the market back
bone to-day. The last crop bulletin indi-
Gates an aggregate yield of 4S5 ,OOO, 900
bushels, or 5, 200, 900 less than the August
report. These figures on wheat are final
until the government survey of the situa-
tion in January. Another strong feature
OF the market to-day was the excellent
consumption demand There were not
only several export orders here, but Ohio
millers were buying both, spot and fti-
lures. One foreign buying order for No
red wheat could not be filled, so little
OF that grade was offered. The best
prices OF the day were realized Just before
he close, the last quotations being prac-
tcally at the top. Based on Yesterdays
closing there was net gain of of5sa7sc.
Corn was quiet and a firm feeling pre-
vailed in the market, with trading only
of a moderate volume and confined prin-
cipally to local operators. The better
Tone was attributed largely to receipts
falling off some. The government croo
report, showing a reduction of about
live points from last month, or equivalent
to about 90,000,0O0, also had a tendency
To create some strength. The crop is |
now estimated at about 1,9SO, 900, 900 |
bushels. Cables were easier on futures
and domestic markets were quotably |
steady. The speculative market opened |
hrm at yesterdays closing prices, was |
firm for 4 time, eascd off little and
covered and closed 1saHc. better than
yesterday.
Oats ruled quiet but steady. Trading
in near deliveries was light but in May
lair. There was no pressure to sell but a |
sufficient demand from several large op-
orators to support values.
In mess pork trading was only modcr-
ately active. October delivery ruled easier
but rallied slightly during the latter part
of the session. January, on the other
hand, ruled stronger and sold at a slight
advance, which was fairly well sup
ported.
In lard comparatively light trade was
reported and the feeling was easy. Prices
rather favored buyers.
In short rib sides only a moderate trade
was reported and the feeling was com
paratively steady. Prices exhibited very
little change.

CHATTANOOGA REUN1ON.
The Dates for Holding the same
Unchanged.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, September -
On account Of a large number Of telc-
grams having been received here to-day
asking if any change had been made in
the date of the reunion of the Army OF
The Cumberland, the following circular
was tonight furnished for publication:
To the Associated Press There has
been no change in dates for the reunion
of the Army of the Cumberland which
will be held in this city as advertised on
Wednesday and Thursday, September
18th and 10th, and grand barbecue to
the old soldiers of both armies will be
given on the battle field of Chickamauga
on Friday the Goth of September, that
icing the 26th anniversary Of the last
days fight at Chickamauga. The adj
dress of welcome at the barbecue will be
delivered by Gen. John B. Gordon, Gov
ernor of the State OF Georgia, and the
response will. be delivered by Gen. Vim.
S. Rosecrans. At the barbecue, the
Chickamauga National Park Association
will also be inaugurated. Every pre-
paration has been made to carry out the
programme outlined above; and this
circular has been made necessary by an
unfortunate mistake in some railroad
tickets which gave other dates for the
reunion other than hose above named.

THE ENSIGNs RESCUED.
Moore Could Not Swim and was

friends of the men in the whale boat
which picked up seaman John H. Busch
who was aboard the steam launch Swan
which sunk yesterday. The boat also
contained ensigns H. 6. Dressel David
Moore, Frederick Carr, seamen Parker
and Scott. The story is related by en-
sign H. G. Dresscll that the whale boat
commenced to leak, and it was found the
plug was out. The boat sank, and
Moore said, 81 cannot swim" and sank
Dresscll, Busch and Carr (colored) held
on to the keel for three hours. The cap
tain of the schooner Lilly E. Schmidt, of
Philadelphia, seeing them, sent boat
commanded by mate Thompson to the

MODERN TRAVEI.
It's Beauties and TerrOrs as seen
From an Engine Cab.


Ifone wants to get lively sense Of
what it means to rush through space at
fifty or sixty miles an hour, says Scrib-
ncr's, he must get on alocomotive. Then
only does he begin to realize what trihcs
stand between him and destruction. A
few weeks ago lady sat an hour in the
cab OF locomotive hauling a fast ex-
press train over mountain road. She
saw the narrow bright line of the rails
and the slender points of the switches.
She heard the thunder of the bridges and
saw the track shut in by rocky bluffs, and
new perils suddenly revealed as the en-
gine swept around sharp curves. The
experience was to her magnificent, but
the sense of danger was almost ap-
palling. To have made her experience
complete she should have taken one en-
gine ride in dark and rainy night.
In daylight ride on locomotive we
come to realize how slender is the rail and
how fragile its fastenings, compared
with the ponderous machine which they
carry. We see what tritling movement
of a switch makes the difference between
life and death. We learn how short the
look ahead must often be, and how close
danger sits on either hand. But it is
only on a night ride that we learn how
dependent the engineer must be, after all,
upon the faithful vigilance of others The
headlight reveals few yurds of glisten-
ing rail and the ghostly telegraph poles
and switch targets. We're a switch open,
a rail taken up or a pile of ties on the
track, we could not possibly see the
danger in time to stop.

Burke sheriff. Several years ago Parker
killed Stacks brother in self defence, in a
quarrclin Steele Creek township, Mecklen.
burg county. Parker was tried for
murder and acquitted in the courts, and
from that day to the hour he met his
death he has been shadowed by Stack,
who swore he would kill him the first
opportunity he had. Parker went to
Texas; Stack followed him there. He
came back to Mecklenburg and it was
not long before Stack turned up in that
section. Then Parker came to Connolly
Springs, ostensibly to attend school at
Rutherford college, but really to eludc
Stack whom he knew to be hunting him ;
and it was here, as we have related, he
came to his death in so brutal and
cowardly manner. Stack was white.
David Boone, the other victim of lynch
law, was the negro who also shot and
killed a prominent young farmer of
Burke county, in the row among drunken
toughs at the Tabernacle meeting, near
Connolly Springs, about three weeks
ago. The deed was unprovoked, and the
farmer was unarmed when assaulted.
Boone escaped, but was captured a few
days later and locked up in Morganton
Jail to await trial at the next term of the
superior court OF Burke county. He was
notoriously bad character, and public
opinion was strongly against him and
Stack.
About a week since an attempt was
made to lynch the murderers, but the
jail was strongly guarded and the mob
gave up the job. Yesterday morning,
however, there was no one at the ail
save the jailcr and the lynchers had an
easy task to secure their victims.
The people of Morganton, it is re-
ported, propose to ferret out the lynch
crs, and punish them according to law.
There has not been legal hanging in
Burke county during the past thirty
years, and even the oldest inhabitant of
that county fails to remember when a
lynching, similar to that of yesterday
morning, has occurred.

A GREAT CAVE-IN.
Residents of wyoming valley
Startled by It's Coming,

WnKESBARRE, Pa, September H.
One of the greatest caveS-in that has ever
occurred in the coal regions startled the
residents of Wyoming valley last night.
lust outside of the town of Plymouth the
earth settled for distance of half a mile,
affecting about thirty acres of territory
belonging to the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad Company. The entire territory
was undermined and was still being
worked out. The concussion was thought
by many to be caused by an earthquake,
and the people in this city, four miles
distant, experienced rocking sensation.
At the scene of the cave-in this afternoon
the earth was broken and extensive crev-
ices were running i'll every direction,
many of them extending to a great
depth. Several mules which were in the
mine were killed, and nearly all the
miners lost their working tools. The
damage cannot yet be aSccrtained, but it
will be immense. Workmen are this af-
tcrnoon endeavOring to effect an opening
into the mine, but there is great danger
of water entering it from surface, and
shutting off all further labor About l.
500 men and boys are thrown out of EN-
ployment. The company officials are
very reticent, and have little news to give
regarding the accident. 1t is known to-
night that the cave-in will seriously at
feet Nos. 2, 8 and colIieries. The bot
tom has fallen out of number of cellars
in the neighborhood, and a farm house
near by has partially toppled over.
Twent y-ivc men were in the mine at
work when they heard the timbers and
pillars begin to break. They rushed for
the first opening and escaped without in
jury. The vcntilating doors in all the
three colicries are crushed to splinters.
Many cars in No. shaft were blown
from the tracks and demolished. Expe-
rienccd miners who rave ventured down
No. 3 shaft this afternoon are of the opin-
ion that it will take a year or more before
coal can again be mined.
