South of Charleston.
Charleston, September Reports from
the sea islands and, in fact, from the
whole of the lower country of South
Carolina, show that the devastation
wrought by the storm of Sunday might
has even exceeded what was at first
feared.
The rice and cotton fields have been
virtually ruined, the islands have been
inundated, and when all is told the death
roll will probably aggregate up the
Carolina coast from five hundred to a
thousand persons.
The ocean and river fronts, entirely un-
protected from floods, have been swept
by the tidal wave for miles inland.
Charleston has no communication by
wire and only broken one by trains TO
the southwark Washouts on the rail-
roads head off correspondence and des-
patches, and specials filed at half a
| dozen places have failed to reach tAelr
destination.
The Clyde steamship Yemassee which
left New York Saturday afternoon,
arrived here forty hours late. Her en-
gines were broken and she was detained
about Hatteras, probably not meeting
the full brunt of the gale. She was
swept by the storm 260 miles out to sea,
but is practically uninjnred.
,far
for hundred miles with wreekage and
debris Of every description. She passed
many abandoned vessels, among them
the Freeda Wiley, from Maine, which had
been burned to the waters edge.
Captain Blake, of the United States
revenue marine, promptly responded
with The services of the Morrill, to re-
probable distressed of many yachtsmen
of the Carolina Yacht Club, who were
supposed to have been lost off Kiawah
island. He took the inland route by way
of James and Johns island. An un-
broken sequence of ravaged crops and de-
molished structures were revealed. Both
banks of the river showed stranded small
craft, lighters, pile drivers and one OF
two schooners.
The yachtsmen were safe, but hearing
that wreckage of the City of Savannah
had been picked up on the coast the
Morrill, continued her trip outside of
Kiawah in the hope of picking up per-
sons from the vessel
The deaths from the low country in-
crease with startling rapidity. From
the best information obtainable at
present the following bodies have been
found: Six in Charleston, three on Sulli-
vans island, two men in the harbor and
six found floating at sea.
Thirty-seven persons were drowned at
Port Royal and Beaufort, six negroes in
one house on Kiawah island, one hun
dred negroes in Edisto, twenty-six on the
plantations of Commbahee and four on
Johns Island.
Authentic reports from Port Royal and
Beaufort say one-fourth of the buildings
in Port Royal are badly demolished and
many of the remaining houses are gone.
All the dredges and washouts in the
Coosaw river are either sunk or stranded.
Dr.Ellis, the lately appointed quaran-
tine inspector, was drowned on Patsin
island. The bodies of thirty negroes

SENT ON TO CoURT.-Lucy Rector,
colored, the woman charged with steal
ing pistol, clothing and other articles
from various houses where she had
been employed, was arraigned in the
police court this morning with one
George Washington, who seemed to be
an accomplice in the theft. She testi-
fed that Washington told her to steal
the pistol for him. Lucy and Wash,
ington, it appeared had rented rooms
from Cora Hunter, colored woman,
and passed themselves off as man and
wife for about a week, when Washing
tons real wife suddenly appeared on
the scene and caused some commotion
in the camp. Lucy during the unpleas-
antness which followed demanded that
she be allowed to take from the house
the things which belonged to her, and
hearing that the premies were to be
searched for the pistol and other miss
ing articles, she determined, so she said +,
to return the weapon to the house from
whence it had been stolen. But Wash
ington was averse to giving up the pis-
tol, and it was after some difficulty
that Lucy got possession of it. Before
she could return it Officer Howson ar
rested her and took it from her bosom.
The man aud woman were sent on to
court by Mayor Strauss.

a SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.-The eXcur-
sion of the conductors and motormen
of the Mount Vernon Electric Railway
to Riverside Park yesterday was sue
cess in every particular. About 5000
people went down 1900 of whom
visited the park and all had a
good time. 1t was near midnight be-
fore the cars stopped running. Dane
ing was kept up until a late hour.
The attractions at the park were we'll
patronized, the steam merry-go-round
having been kept going necessarily
and baseball and other outdoor exer.
cises INDUCED in as long as daylight
lasted A feature which was enjoyed
by many was photograph which
spun out comic and sentimental songs,
selections from brass bands, harangues
of side show blowers, auctioneers, etc.
The only thing which tended to mar
the pleasure of any one was, by over
sight, the admission to the grounds of
some lunch thieves who watched
where little girls and Others deposited
their baskets and when the owners
were away despoiled them of their
contents, or rendered the eatables unfit
for use. More than one party of little
girls lost all the eatables they carried
by the incursions of the thieves. They
are said to have been young men most
of whom are known. If caught on
the grounds again they will be arrest
ed and turned over to the Fairfax au-
thorities.

FALSE RUMoR.-A rumor was circu-
lated in this city yesterday to the effect
that the steamer Mary Washington,
with between eight and nine hundred
colored people on board, had sunk q
few miles down the river. As may be
supposed, those who had relatives and
friends on the steamer were greatly
alarmed, and considerable relief was
experienced early in the night when
the boat came up to the wharf with ali
aboard safe and sound. Quite crowd
of colored people had assembled on the
dock when the boat landed, and every
thing passed off pleasantly until Joseph
and Mary Daniels, who had formed a
part of the crowd, undertook to settle
their domestic infelicity by fight with
natures weapons. Mary's liege lord
knocked her down after she had made
ribbons of his vest. Officer Davis sud
denly appeared in front of the couple
and marched them to the station house
This morning each left five-dollar bill
for the city'S treasury.

NOMINATIONS BY THE BUsHEL.-The
Presidents desk is piled up nearly 8
foot high with nominations to be sent
into the Senate for offices to which the
President made appointments during
recess. Each nomination is laid before
the Senate on seperate sheet, so that in
the ore matter of presidential post
masters alone the $50 or 200 appoint,
ments that have been made will make
formidable bundle. And the post
masters form only small part of the
executive patronage. There are all
tue diplomatic and consular changes
made since the close of the extra ses.
sion of the Senate, which have also to
be acted upon in executive session.

REMOVAL OF GUNsToN INSTITUTE
1t will be seen by the advertisement i'll
this paper that Gunston Institute, on
Georgetown Heights, d. c., has been
recently moved from 30l7 o street n. W.,
to 292S p street northwest. The former
building was inspected Immediately af-
ter the close of the school, and the
principals have found that in making
the change they have secured a
better building, whose sanitary condi-
tons are perfect. The surroundings
are such that eligible rooms can be had
nearby, or another house, as the needs
Of the growing school may require.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason, who are we'll
known in this city. have been success
full in establishing this school, and from
their high reputation as teachers, and
the home character of their school,
we bespeak for them largely increas-
ing patronage.
