Charleston, S. C.
Richmond, Va, August ga passen-
ger train on the Atlantic coast line
reached here this evening from Charles
ton, sc. 1t was delayed twenty-four
hours by the storm. Express Messenger
Beddin, who was in Charleston during
the storm, says the wind and rain COM
menced with terrific force at one o'clock
Sunday afternoon, and continued without
cessation until Monday morning. At
seven O'Clock there was not fifty yards
of space in the streets that did not con-
tain debris, such as roofs of houses, signs,
awnings, telegraph poles, ETC., which
were scattered in all directions. The roof
of the St. Charles hotel was blown off and
the streets flooded with water almost to
the doors. Fourteen box cars were
blown from the railroad track and
turned over. All the phosphate works
in the city were blown down or badly
damaged. A schooner was lying high in
the streets, having been driven from her
anchorage. 1t was currently reported that
eight people were killed in the city, and
it was also rumored that there was loss
of life on Sullivan's island, the report
placing it in hundreds. Ali communica-
tion was cut off. For many miles along
the Atlantic coast Line road, leading out
of Charleston, telegraph poles were near
ly all blown down. The storm was one
of the most destructive ever experienced
in that section.

at His Post.

Kent's Hill, Me-, August 29.- The
building committee appointed to super
intend the new building for the Maine
Wesleyan Seminary at Kent's Hill, met
on Monday, and adopted plans furnished
by Architect Fassett of Portland, and
appointed Hon. E. r. French, the agent
of the committee, to superintend the
contracts and construction. The build
ing will be 55x66 feet. The basement
will be devoted to a gymnasium. The
first floor will accommodate the art de-
partment and the library, and the second
floor and attic the music department.
The building above the basement will be
of wood with slate roof, and will be of
very pretty design. The new president,
Rev. C. W. Gallagher, D. D., is on the
ground and is making very fine impress
sion. All feel that no mistake was made
in his selection for this responsible place
The students are coming in in large
numbers, and the prospect for large
term is encouraging.

A NEW ATTRACTION.
The Turkish Minister will Grace the Ban
gor Fair.

Bangor, August 29.-Today's storm
put a damper on the first days proceed
ings at the Eastern Maine state fair, but
the entire programme has been set ahead
one day so that the fair will close Satur-
day instead of Friday. Every depart
ment and class at tine fair is filed to
overfowfng and horsemen freely claim
that no show of horses ever given in New
England approaches this, both in point
of numbers and breeding. All kinds of
stock are here in abundance while the
display of manufactured goods in the
exhibition building and of household
goods, painting, ETC., in the up town
halls is the best for years. Tomorrow is
Governors day when Gov. Cleaves and a
distinguished party, including the Turk
ish minister who is at Bar Harbor and
probably Secretary of War Lamont who
is at Sorrento will be entertained by the
managers of the fair. Bangor is crowded
with strangers and while today's rain
was very disappointing there will be a
gala week as usual.

Around New York and Then Began

The hurricane has come and gone. In
the Northern states, while the damage
is great, it's work of devastation seems
slight when the meagre reports from the
South are read. The dispatches printed
below tell the story of the storms north
ward journey. 1t is a strory of almost
unparalleled loss of life unless the
reports should prove to be
great exaggerated. Near Port
Royal, Sc, the death list numbers
100; in Savannah, Is are dead and forty
or fifty missing; in the vicinity of Char
lesion the death list is again reported to
touch the 100 mark. There have been few
storms in the recollection of this genera
tion that approach this in the number of
lives lost and the amount of the damage
to property. Fuller accounts which will
come when the broken wires are replaced
will be anxiously awaited.

Repeal Bill.
Washington, August 20.-In the Senate
today, Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman of the
finance committee, reported back the
House Ibill repeating part of
the Sherman act, with an
amendment in the nature of substi-
tute. He asked that the bill be placed
on the calendar, and gave notice that he
should ask the Senate to take it up and
consider it Immediately after the morn
ing business from this time on until final
action was taken. The substitute he
said, was exactly the bill heretofore re-
ported from the finance committee. He
explained further, that the bill as report
ed from the finance committee was iden-
tical with that passed by the House, SO
far as it concerned the repeal of the pur-
chasing clauses of the Sherman act, and
that from that point on there was certain
matter in the substitute which was not
in the House bill.
Mr.. Teller objected to calling the bill
up today, causing it to go over.
MIR. Harris, member of the finance
committee, said the substitute just re-
ported was the majority report, in which
the minority of the committee did not
concur. The bill was placed on the cal
endar.
Mr.. Dolph introduced bill appropri-
ating $5OO,000 to enable the Secretary of
the treasury to enforce the Chinese ex-
clusion act.
Mr.. Teller made long argument to
show that the Sherman law had not pro-
duced the existing financial stringency,
and without concluding his remarks he
Welded for an executive session. After
wards the Senate adjourned.
