Preparing for the Revival —Churches that are Provided with Bank Preai denta. Charleston, 8. C., March B.—Tbe Ministers of Charleston are working up the coming Moody and Sankev revival with great energy and spirit. The evan gelists are expected to be here the latter part of tbis week for an engagement of about one week. It Is rumored that they will be paid SI,OOO each for tbe week’s work, and that some of tbe wealthy men of the city who are closely allied to the churches will furnish the money, but this is only rumor, and is scarcely worthy of credence. Although several of the churches have individual mem bers who could put up thousands and sot miss them. Trinity MetbodistChurch has a bank president millionaire as a Stewart. Bethel Methodist has two of tbe richest merchants in the South on its membership roll. The English Lutheran, tbe German Lutheran, the Kp scnnaliau, tbe Presbyterian and the Hebrew churches all have bank pres dents, and tbe Catholic Church is similarly pro vided, and all oi them are active mem ber*. The ministers of most of the Protestant churches have, however, ef fected an organization and will manage the revival. Tbe ser vices will be held in Agricultural ball, which has a capacity of seating about 6,000 persons, and admission will be regulated by tickets which will bo given out by tbe various pastors, each pastor being allotted a certain number of tickets. Tbe Baptist revival, which is be ng conducted by the Rev. Lansing Burrows, ol Augusta, is still in progress, having been prolonged for one week ion ger. It ia thought that the community in Cbarleatoti is rips (or a great religious re l>al. and the Moody and Banker event will probably create a tremendous sensa tion. CATHOLIC CHURCH PROJECTS. In Catholic circles public interest, out side of the usual lenten service*, is cen tered on two very important church en terprises which are in progress at ttie same time, viz: the rebuilding or the Cathedral of Bt. Kliihar’s. which was de itroyed in tbe great fire of inh, ami ;b,. building of anew efiillee for the parish oi Bt. I’atrick’s, one of the most populous panh< * in the diooee. The cathedral fund now In hand amounts to about fun,. 000, most of which was bequeathed to tbe yestry oy tbe late John McKeevan (or tbe purpose of rebuilding ttiechuicb. The new cathedral will be built of brown •tone on the lines of the old edifice, and is expected to coat sb ut SIOO,OOO or more. The •rebitect with the plans is looked for dally, and in tbe im antime tbe work of clearing away the ruins of the old edifice 1* well under way. The new Bt. I’ulnck’a Is being constructed under the direction of Mgr. D. J. Quigley, tbe rector of tbe parish. It is to lie built of pressed brick and granite and will cost about SOO,OOO. Tna corner-stone will be laid on Bt. i’*t rlck’s day. Many ol tbe principal churches in the city were badly damaged by tbe oyclono last August. These were old Bt. Mi chael's. the Citadel Squat* Baptist. Bt. * Matthew’s German Lutheran, and the ; Unitarian Church, all of which lost por -1 t.onsoi iheir steepies or spires. Only l two of tin s. nav. been restored, the Lni | tarian and the German Lutheran. CHARLESTON’!* gkkkk colony. ! Of late years the Greek colony in Ohar [ leston has increased verv rapidly until it now numbers several hundred, most of whom are engaged in the fruit business. | ( apt. Thomas Neos ( Auglice Young), tbe well known and wealthy stevedore, who by tne by leases nearly ail the wharves on the water front, is credited with being the originator ot a plan to purchase the old Mariner’s churon, one of the land marks of Charleston, and organizing a congregation of Greeks. It is said that Capt. Neos has offered to purchase the building, and send out to the east for a priest if tbe congregation will undertake to support a clergyman. Tbe Hebrews of Cnarleston are also growing, there being now three separate congregations. Tne one in Uasel street represents the reformed failb; one in bt. Phillip etreet the orthodox, and one in King street, tbe extreme orthodox, or faith of Abraham. At this latter synagogue, which is called "Perfect Faith,” services are conducted every morning and evening in tbe year. FIRE AT COVINGTON/ Heavy Losses Sustained by Merchants, With Small Insurance.

He was also a great devotee ot case ball last summer, and drove a lively slepper on tbe avenue during the sleighing sea son. Until leoently it had been privately gossiped about that he was engaged to tbe young daughter of a prominent resi dent of Woodward avenue. A few weeks ago be gave up tbe ministry, telling his friends 'hat be could not accept some of the leading doctrines ot the church. He also gave out that be was going to New York to attend to business that demanded bis attention, which seems to have been the fact, as the parties were married three weeks ago In New York. Mrs. Mabley, who has been a widow less than a year, is very wealthy and has a tine house on Woodward avenue. She has six children living and has buried seven others, almost all in their Infancy. One of ber daugh ters Is married. It is given out here that the newly wedded pair will take a Euro pean bridal trip. NO TKAKH WERE Mil ED. How a Young Kentucky C ouple Wars luterfsred With.

Jersey City, March B.—Fire broke out at Long dock about 2:20 o’clock this morning among a quantity of jute stored upon the pier of the Monarch Steamship Company. It is thought to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. Tbe flumes were discovered by Nathaniel Fal lick. engaged in arranging the electric lights on the pier. Fallick summoned three watchmen on the pier and they tried to extinguish the blaze. Finding it beyond their control, an alarm was sent out, quickly followed by a second alarm and a gen rai call, bringing the entira city tire department to the scene. The ferryboat Susquehanna was lying in one of tn>* slips with eteem up, aud the deck hands got out a line of hose and did good work. FIKK BOATS RESPOND. The Erie company’s tire boats Don Juan, Van Houten, and Buffalo; the Pennsylva nia railroad’s steam tugs Parsiiuoua, America, Uncle Abe, and Y oung Aiuer, lea, and the Central railroad’s tug Ba yone also responded to the alarm, and soon had streams upon the tire. Tbe twd steamships Egyptian Monarch ami Lyd. inn Monarch were lying alongside the company’s pier. The Egyptian Monarch was nearly loaded and was to have sailed for London to-day. she was towed into midstream alter being HligbUy scorched about tbe bows. Tbe Lydian Monarch was not so lonunate. The flames de stroyed her rigging, three lifeboats, and the greater portion of the woodwork on her main deck. THE SHED DESTROYED. The large shed was totally destroyed with a large quantity of jute, tobacco, woolen goods and other European freight. Tne terry bouses and tbe Erie railway passenger depot were not damaged, ai though at tunes in great danger. 'The tire spread from the burning sin and on the dock to the building used for the collec tion of milk freights. The nulk depot adjoining consisted of a long, open shed. Two trains ot cars loaded with raiik stood beside it. One train was saved intact. The other, consisting ot five cars, was de stroyed. The loss cannot be ascertained definite ly, owing lo the destruction of the steam ship company’s hooks and papers. The damage to the Lydian Monarch Is estimated at $20,000. The loss on tne wharf and shed is $70,000. Rough estimates on the quantity of freight lost bring the aggregate up to about $300,000, but it may exceed that sum. A MEXICAN MYSTERY. A Plot tor* Dime Novel on the Mexican Border. Laredo, Tex., March 5.—A few dayß ago a Cuban lady, giving ber name as Dona Juana Guzman, passed through this city from Mexico en route to Rio Grande City, saying she was going to see her brother, Souor Jose Guzman, a gentleman connected with the Mexican custom house at Mier, Mexico. She appeared to be very uneasy, aud to a New Orleans drummer whom she met on the train she directed many interrogatories regarding tbe country and people in the neighbor hood ot ber destination. On Monday last she boarded the stage at l’era. Tex. The stage bad not pro ceeded lar when they met the incoming stage from Rio Grande City. Among the passengers in Ihe incoming stage was JoseGuzuian, who Dona Juana wasquick to recognize. She at once drew her pis tol ami commanded tbe drivers to halt, which they did. The pretended brother and sister alighted Irom tneir carriages, and a stirring scene followed, in which hot words and pistol shots were ex changed. In the stage in which Guzman was a passenger was also his newly wedded bride. The latter, seeing tbe sudden change matters had taken, became alarm ed and suspicious. In tbe meantime the Cuban lady’s wrath cooled down and a compromise was effected between the bel ligerents, she concluding to join the wed ding party and return to Pera being in troduced to the bride as a sister-in-law, after which all parties Were apparently satisfied. The trio arrived here last night, and to-day departed for the City of Mexi co. Guzman claims that tbe lady, Dona Juana Guzman, is his sister; that they are originally from Cuba, where they in habited a large estate. They being the only surviving heirs, agreed between themselves that neither should wed while liot h lived, and that after the death of one the other should claim the entire proper ty. Mr. Guzman having grown tired of s’ing'e lile, and meeting with the object ot bis affection, married, and thus broke tbe agreement, henee tbe difficulty with bis sister. While Guzinan tells such a plausible story, it is reported that tbe woman in question ia bis mistress and not his sister. She having heard of the intended marri age, posted off expecting to arrive in time to frustrate the scheme. Guzman is thought to baa wealthy Cuban refugee. The duped bride is the daughter of au old and respected Mexican tainily living at Camargo, Max. She ia young and hand some, and havine never been out in the world, knows nothing of its wicked ways. A great deal of sympathy is manifested in ber twbalt, and it is fully suspected she will be left out in tbe cold. The parents of the unmrtunate girl are in total ignorance of tne affair as yet. Guzinan has been in the service of tbe Mexican government us chief guard at Mier, Mex., and moved iu good aoclety there. He endeavored to have tbe mar riage ceremony there, hut as the Mexico laws require that tbe contracting parties produce necessary ceriificaies as to qual ifications, etc., tbe Senor could not well comply and bad the ceremony performed informally at Rio Grande City. Frietvqs of the bride’s parents in tbis city who are well connected are greatly incenaed over the outrage and are communicating with the proper parties with a view of giving chase to the culprit and securing tae bride. SENSATIONAL SCENE IN COUIIT. An Alleged Forger Acquitted—He Faint* Where Hl* Father Hied. From the AGw York IKorW. Montreal, March 6.—Tbe jttrvin the case of John 8. Dyde, charged with ing and uttering 72 promi*ory notes each ranging from $124 to S3OO, returned a vyn diet this morning of not guilty, when tbe jury announced their verdict tbo ittiijj body ol spectators eroke out Into ehqurp, Auer order had been restored by I lie oriiify, the Judge turned to that part ol tbs 01 uf room Irom whence the applause was moro pronounced, emphatically exclaiming! “This is tbe most disgraceful demonstra tion I ever heaid in a court of justice and io tbe fuce of a verdict so notoriously In contradiction lo tbo evidence as to shake the very foundations of society, and still vou applaud. It is simply disgraceful.” It is thought that thutactol the accused’s father having died in the witness box while giving testimony for the prisoner yesterday, contributed to the result. Hail on the remaining charge was fixed at $15,000. Pale and evidently suffering the keenest menial agony Mr. Dyde came forward to the tabis to give bail. His eyes were filled with tears, his face was livid, and his step unsteady and tottering. When he reached tbe" advocates' table he port bims"!t. He was then Inforniea by the clerk tbat he was free to depart. He attempted to do so, but had barely pro. c-itdeu as far as the witness-box, op tha extict epoi where his father expired', yae terday, when he fell fainting to the ground. Friendly arms removed him to the corridor from whence, at the invita tion of Justice Monk, be was removad to tag Juitge's private room. Hare restora tives were administered and in a short time he was removed to his residence. A WORD FOR MORMONDOM. 1 ‘V’ • i .i.-—- Mrs, Wells on the Injutice and Bad .Ef fect or the Edmunds Law. From the Xew York t 7 or aid . Cleveland, 0., March 3.—Mrs. Erne line Wells, of Salt Lake City, who Is the most gifted and prominent defender of polygamy and Mormon ism in Utah, ar rived at the Hollander yesterday ahd paid a visit to tbo old Mormon temple at Ktrt laiul. She is one of the lour wives of Daniel Wells, the leader of the Dpoites, ivno was the counsellor ol Britain Young, and who is at present in Europe to evade airest. He has iierformed more PWygareona marriages than anrm* in the world, having for many years been Justice of the Peace and Mayor in Salt Lake. Mrs. Wells denies that the Dan ins were bloodthirsty murderers, but says that in view of the cruel manner in which Joseph Smith was murdered it would not have been strange it they bad formed plans for vengeance. Mrs. Weils nits been ia Washington to work against the Edmunds polygamy bill, which has passed the Senate and is now before the Committee on Judiciary of the House. a great injustice. She said the law would be a great in justice. “It would establish a dangerous precedent in the confiscation ol our church property created by our own honest labor, it the govern men thus the right locontiscate our property it has the power to take the church property of Catholics or Protest ants. The ory ol tuu anti-polygamists is that they are opposed to polygamy, but tbat is mere pretence. They want to get control of the Teiritory and its profitable local offices, which are new iu the hands of Mormons. The present anti-polygamy law is unjust, and despite President Cleveland's promise that, it should be im partially administered, it. is not fairly ad ministered. I and mv husband are dis franchised by it, because we have prac ticed and countenanced plural marriages from pure religious motives, while any wanton woman or dissolute man in the Territory who has not practiced plural marriages has tbe right ot suffrage. EFFECT ON PROPERTY. “The law has already had a depressing effect on our once prosperous Territory. Rut the injustice tbat we have suffered and the greater in justice threatened has set those who have been apathetic in re gard to Morniouism and polygamy to in vestigation, and the passu.e ofTbe threat ened law, instead of eradicating our Church, would scatter it more widely and in the end make it more powerful. Tbe stories that Kate Field tells give a false impression of Mormondoio. Not nearly all of them practice polygamy, and among those woo do few have more than three wives. Y’es, 1 believe in plu ral marriages. I will not say tbat it is entirely unattended with unpleasantness so far as love is concerned. I do not be lieve tbat the love of a husband can be divided.” An Unu.ual Offer. A pair of dollar Kid Gloves or two pairs of Silk Mitts will be presented to every purchaser of $5 worth of goods at David Weisbein’a.
