AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. LA special
from Charleston, s O., says that the
steamer Yemassee, overdue since ss.ur-
day, with a full list Of passengers from
New York, has arrived safely. She did
not encounter the storm. :,
Reliable computation OF the loss Of
life by thsstorm places the dead at 600.
News has been heard from Helena Is-
land, Just of Beaufort. The dead there
alone number 12O.
The people are now suffering for food
and 1000 negroes who have been driven
to Port Royal by the storm from the
surrounding islands and the rice and
cotton plantations are starving. They
are SO destitute and go badly in needSot
something to eat that they have resort
cd to fighting among themselves for
food. Several were killed In fight for
provisions.
The negroes are getting more and
more daring in the struggle to keep
their wives and children from starving.
Many Of them have not had q morsel to
eat since Sunday. Men and women and
children stand in the streets pleading
for something to eat. Those who are
mot EiYen immediate relief become re-
bellious, and it Is a difficult task to keep
the sufferers in subjection. Out Of the
600 drowned not more than twenty-five
were whites, and only five ware women.
Most OF the negroes were adults, al
though at least 200 helpless children are
counted among the dead.
The work Of clearing away TIE debris
has not yet been begun. Everybody isl
assisting in the search for the dead.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept 1.-The
fight over the rules still continues with
unabated yigor in the house and ex-
Speaker Reed is from day to day max

constantly raised by the parliamenta-

not attractive to the public. 1t was OF
deep interest to the members, all Of
whom are more or less concerned IN
the methods of house procedure.
Mr.. Reed and the Republican minor:
ity hung persistently on the flank OF
the Democratic leaders in charge OF the
rules, but they only succeeded in fore.
lug a tedious string Of roll calls The

Done up for $1,000.

Some OF the Pittsburg papers OF Tuesday
contained the following, wired from New
Castle, and which somewhat mixes up
localities: 1.-TWO nicely dressed sharpers
found an easy victim to John Newburn, a
farmer of Donegal township, just on the
edge of Lawrence and Butler counties.
Natural gas has been found in paying
quantities in the neighborhood OF New
burns farm. Five weeks ago weil-dress-
ed man called on Newburn at his home,
and after some preliminary talk asked II
be wanted to sell his farm. NeEburn said
he would sell for what he thought the place
was worth. The sale was agreed on and
the stranger paid Newburn $500 down as
guarantee. The deed was to be delivered
in month.
A few days later Newburn heard there
was man in the neighborhood pricing
several farms. He called on Newburg,
said he wanted that particular property.
and was much disappointed when he learn,
ed that it was practically sold. why,
said the stranger, "Pd have given you $lO-,
900 more than you will get, you're right III
big gas belt" The upshot of long con-
ference was that the second visitor bound
himself to pay SIC, 900 more than the first
purchaser had offered, making deposit OF
5000 TO show that he. too, meant business
Three days later the first puT chaser ap-
peared with the money to pay for the farm
Of course Newburn made oyertures to back
out, but the buyer was infiexible, telling
Newburn he had bought the farm to drill
for for gas, and he knew he'd get it. New
burn then became desperate and finally
pers uaded the first buyer to take $3. 600
and let him (Newburn) out of the deal.
The stranger took the So 900, which was
raised for him in cash, and Newburn is still
looking for the other fellow who was to pay
the advance of $4,000.

Two Gruesome Ladies.

Two interesting items from the Sunny
Sonth were reported in yesterdays papers
Mrs. Stewart, of Texas, offended because
"Jef Easten" intimated she vas mot q
perfect lady, !" whipped said Masten within
an inch of bis life, blood flowing when she
had finished from sixty different places on
Masten's back, he being kept in subor din
alton while the whipping was going on by
a cooked pistol held to his head by the
husband Of the lady Masten had thought
mot perfect" No doubt Masten was con
vinced by his severe discipline that he was
entirely mistaken, and that Mrs. Stewart is
model for her sex.
The other story comes from Tennessee,
where maiden by the name Of Miss Ce-
ell, who is handsome young lady of good
family, assisted at lynching. This young
lady had been feloniousIy assaulted by a
negro, so it is alleged, and the negro was
hanged. Miss Cecil expressed a desire to
cut down the dead body with her own
hands, and the mob Accommodated her,
threatening death to any one who antici-
pated her. At 10 o'clock of the day this
dainty young woman cut the rope by
which the dead negro was suspended TO
the tree, and his body fell to tbs ground.
The faithful historian of this scene saws
'she smiled as she cut the rope, and her
act was greeted with cheers by the vast
crowd"
There are exceptional women in the
North, who are coarse and cruel enough to
do both these deeds. The peculiarly OF
the Southern situation is the tendency to
treat such unwomanly acts as heroic and
praiseworthy instead of scoring them a.
the unwomanly acts of unsexed viragoes.
Perhaps, however, in q section where law
is subordinated to passion and impulse, it is
not quite safe to speak of such women
with entire candor.-Philadelph Press.
