The Clevelands Worn Out After the
Events of Inauguration Day.
WASHINGTON. March 5.-President and
Mrs. Cleveland, wearied by the exciting
and faiguing scenes aud duties of yester-
days long programme, which began at
early morning and did not end until late at
night, slept late this morning and did not go
to church, to the great disappointment of
hundreds OF inauguration sight-seers who
went to the First Presbyterian church
hoping that they would catch another
glimpse Of the new President and his beau
tiful wife. Their distaste for being stared at
by curiosity seekers in church would proba-
bly, have kept Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland at
home, even If they had not been so
tired this morning, for they knew that the
church they formerly attended would be be-
seiged. They spent very quiet, restful
Sunday, seeing a few friends who called
playing with Baby Ruth. of whom they
saw so little yesterday. and taking drive
in the carriage Mr.. Harrison left for their
use in the afternoon. This evening Judge
Gresham, who arrived last evening too late
for any Of the ceremonies, took dinner with
them en- Ianilde.
Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson had
promised to attend the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church, which they formerly
attended, this morning, and did so in spite
Of their fatigue. They, TOO, spent the day
quietly, and went for a drive. Mrs
Stevenson, who is delicate. was almost worn
out after the ball last night, but was much
better to-day.

CovINGToN, KY, March 5.-Shortly be-
fore 2 o'clock this morning flames were dis
covered In the architectural iron working
establishment Of the Fred. J. Meyers Man
ufacturing Company, Nos. 4lO and 42l
Madison avenue. The Meyers establish
mens was 7-story brick, fronting $50 feet
on Madison avenue, extending back half a
block about $50 feet and was soon destroyed.
A strong Dortherly wind was blowing
and the flames quickly spread across to
Fifth street on the north and attacked the
Fifth Street Christian church, one of the
Oldest and largest Of the denomination in
Kentucky. In a short time it succumbed
to the flames, as did the residence of DR..
Robinson, adjoining it.
Adjoining the Meyers works on the north
was the Crawford tobacco warehouse, a D.

which were occupied by the Myers COM

The fruit crop is killed. All the ponds are
frozen over. The heavy wind that pre-
vailed yesterday played havoc with turpen-
tine trees, blowing thousands 70 che ground.
DAMAGE DONE IN WORTH.
SUMNER, GA, March 5.-On Friday night
last this section Of the county was visited
by a severe rain and wind storm which
lasted all night. The wind attained a
velocity Of thirty miles an hour, and many
fences we're blown down and other damage
done.
Last night the ground was frozen hard,
and on many OF the fruit trees which were
in bloom the fruit was killed by the cold.
The exact damage done to the oat crop has
not as yet been ascertained, but they will
probably be set back from two to four
weeks by the cold weather.
FRUIT HURT IN COFFEE.
WILLACOoCHEE, GA, March 5.-The ter
rife rain storm Of Friday night was fol-
lowed by one of the hardest freezes expert
enced during the past winter last night.
Ice was formed here Ia inches thick by
actual measurements. There is different
opinions as to its effect upon the fruit crops
Some think that not more than half the
peach and pear crop has been destroyed,
while others say that there will not be more
than one-fourth of a crop left. The freeze
here last night is considered harder than
that OF last March, which proved almost a
total destruction to the fruit crop. How
ever, II was a week later than this and may
have been more destructive on that account.
1t is safe to say that from present indica-
tions the fruit crop and early vegetables are
almost totally destroyed.
TRUCK NIPPED IN THOMAS.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, March 5.-A high
northwest wind prevailed Friday night
and yesterday, bringing a cold wave with
1t. loe formed last nignt and this morning,
but there was no frost Peach, pear aud
plum trees are blooming, and opinions differ,
as usual, about the effect Of the cold on
fruit The probability is that enough pear
blooms will form fruit to give good crop,
unless still later cold overtakes them.
Young vegetation is generally nipped
and the tender leaves that looked so pros
porous day or two ago are limp and dull

in the state Eli was in town Saturday
afternoon and he fell in at Miller's, where
Capt. J. F. Stone was talking TO a crowd Of
men. Eli laughed at everything the cap-
tain said, and his laughter was so loud and
hearty that the speaker was interrupted
frequently. When eli laughs he does it
heartily At a protraoted meeting con-
Quoted by J. b. Culpepper here. two years
ago, Mr.. Culpepper was interrupted con
tinually by Eli, who was sitting in the far
corner of the tent. Loud peals Of laughter,
followed by a whoop from Eli, met every
sally of wit and humor made by Mr. Gull
pepper. Finally the evangelist asked who
that laughing man was and some one told
him il was Eli. Ar. Culpepper said II
understand that there is a man over there
named Eli" And Eli replied, "And he
gets there Just the same" ELI then laughed
and whooped till everybody in the tent
cried. Whether at a circus, theater, church
or funeral Eli will laugh all the same. He
has always been that way. Eli walks TO
town early every morning. does a days
work and walks homo thar night, covering
ten miles every day.

ANOTHER ADMISSION OF HIS COURAGE.
The Daily Chronicle says: cit is a long
time since an American President has had
the courage 20 speak such words to his
countrymen, who are accustomed 20 be ad-
dressed from Washington with sprawling
flattery. Mr.. Cleveland speaks of the sill
yer and tariff questions with tho greatest
clearness, and shows those who Thought
that now the election was won, the ak
brandished above the roots OF McKinleyism
would be laid aside, how completely they
were mistaken. The spirit of she whole
address ia welcome new departure in
American politics'
The Standard deals at length with that
part Of the address concerning the tariff as
Of special significance to England. 10 re-
CARDS President Clevelsnd's utteranoes as
tantamount 70 a declaration that the tariff,
although reduced, will be so levied az TO be

prosperity OF the state is such that even
with the worst rulers IL would be difficult
long to retard the progress OF the people

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Senate Of

lowed Up.
LONDON March 5-Late last night ths
people OF Sandgate, county Of Kent, we're
aroused by the rocking OF their houses and
loud rumblings under the ground. Walls
split, ceilings fell, foundations sank and
roofs fell As the inhabitants looked into
the streets they found large rents In the
ground and were almost overcome by uox,
ious vapors. Everybody supposed that the
town was being shaken by an earthquake,
and, as the rumbling continued, hundreds
fled In panic TO the nearest towns. A few
remained behind to remove the furniture
from the falling houses. The reports car
ried abroad by the fugitives caused the
troops In the adjacent camp 60
hasten TO the aid Of the people
still In Sandgate. Soldiers and citizens
worked for two hours in moving
the most valuable property from houses and
erecting tents in she fields about a mile out
side from the town for the women and chill
dren. At the end Of that time the rum
bling had ceased aud an investigation was
made In the town by tho commander Of the
troops and several citizens. They found
that the ground on which SAndgate stands
had sunk several feet, and that less subsi-
dence had extended throughout the sur
rounding district, affecting In all, about a
square mile. The gas mains had
been broken and the connection OF the
waterplpes disturbed, 80 that the supplies OF
both gas and water had been stopped.
Many cottages have been wrecked COM
pletely. and the better built houses are
cracked and thrown out of plumb 80 that
they could not be occupied with safety.
Nevertheless, many Of the inhabit-
ants returned 60 the town toward
morning. Between and 6 O'Clock
however. they were frightened away by
further subsistence OF ground and rscur-
renee OF the rumblings. These phenomenn
have been repeated several times during the
day and the town 10 now practically de-
serted. As far as known no lives have been
lost. The cause Of the subsidenoe is unex-
planned Sandgate has q population Of
about 5000.
CAUSED by A LANDSLIDE.
LONDON, March u, "a. M.-Ths disaster
was caused by a landslide The town is
built upon a comparatively low oIiff close to
the sea. The waves are believed to have
undermined the cliff, which then settled and
slipped toward the water, carrying with IL
the town. Two hundred houses have been
destroyed.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Although Mr..
Harrison has gone, oil the rest OF the mem
bers of his administration are still here and
still in charge OF the executive departments.
To be sure they will spend most Of their
time from now until they leave in preparing
their successors for taking their places, but
for the time being they are still the cabinet.
Mr.. Cleveland has ia fact two cabinets, Mr..
Harrisons, which he would consult Officially
if a sudden necessity arose, and his own
which be is already consulting unofficially,
although they are all now Except
Judge Greshaml simply private
citizens. BY Wednesday, however, they
will be heads Of the executive departments
having been nominated, confirmed and in-
Quoted into the places now held by Mr..

sttion apparently 10 the confirmation OF
Judge Gresham, and, OF course, none to the
confirmation of the others.
