in the form of twenty dollar bills. One

many friends, financially and other
wise interested in the Charles Town
Mining, Manufacturing and Improve

advertised for November 4 and 5
should net come up to the expecta-
tiens of the managers on account of
the uneasy condition of the financial
world and the general indifference
to real estate investments, we are
happy to know that the sale was en-
inently successful. All the property
offered was sold on the first day of
the sale, except six lots which were
Withdrawn and others substituted in
place of them were sold privately the
day following. The amount of sale
Nov. A was $19, $3.50. AS there were
quite number of buyers who ex-
pected to invest and could not attend
the sale, the managers authorized a
limited number of lots to be sold at
private sale, which we understand
will make the sale foot up $50, 900.
Theprices were conservative. Stran-
gers who attended the sale were sur
prised and delighted at the magnifi-
cent development already accom-
plished and in progress on the lands
of the Company, and predict a great
future for this place. The auction
GERS, Messrs. Daniel Hefebower of

CHINA WARNED.

She Must Mako Observation-Disclosures
from other Nations to the Celestial
Kingdom Threaten War.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 1S.-In this city at
present great excitement prevails at
the increased and still increasing ten
sion between the Chinese government
and the ministers of the foreign pow
ers. From all appearances the form
er are obstinate in their refusal to
redress the injury done to foreigners
during the recent riots. Some peo-
pie say that the government dare
mon justice to the powers for fear of
incurring a storm of popular disap-
proval; in any case there is no doubt as
to the obstinacy of the refusal to right
the wrongs inflicted upon the foreign
residents of China.
On the other hand there is no reason
to doubt that if the Chinese authorities
do not yield to the firm demands of the
ministers of the powers con-
certed hostile action upon the part of
the war vessels of the various nations
represented in these waters is immi-
nent
1t is now known that the foreign
ministers have been compelled to in
form the Chinese government that a
joint naval demonstration of an effective
nature, in which the French, Ameri-
can, British and German squadrons
will take part, will be ordered in
the near future unless speedy repar-
alton is made for the injuries, OUT
RACES and abuses complained of by
the ministers of the powers. Naturally
the foreign population of this city, be-
ing aware of the firm stand taken by
the ministers and having knowledge of
the ultimatum sent to the Chinese gov
ernment, is in state of considerable
anxious expectation and will so remain
until the reply of the Chinese govern
ment is made known.
