Charleston, 8. C., September 18.
There ia not much change in the situation
to-day, but Btrenuous effort* are being
made to patch the houses in a rude way
to make them water-tight and allow the
residences to be occupied and business to
be resumed. Considerable excitement
has been occasioned by the refusal of the
the character of the. work done, many of
those claiming advanced rates being inef
ficient. under instructions from the treas
ury department, Earle Sloan has visited
and reported on the fissure on the Savan
nah and Charleston railroad, and finds it
due to the contiguity of a mill pond and
not to the earthquakes. Sloan will visit
the Assures in and about Summerville and
will traverse the whole line of the South
Carolina railway, examining the phenom
ena reported, and observing specially any
changes in levels of the earth.
At u special meeting of the city council
to-day mayor Courtenay reported that the
amount of the relief fund up to this time
is t about |200,000. He said further that
with the large measure of relief necessary
to reach the many Bufferers, it was hardly
necessary to say to the aldermen of
Charleston how small this sum would be
When divided among the sufferers. To
Bhow, he said, the gross ignorance as to
the amount received and the needs of the
city it has been deliberately suggested that
no taxes be levied next year, and that the
relief fund be used instead. As taxes
in 1886 in Charleston reached nearly *900,-
000, it is easily seen how fallacions and
misleading are such suggestions.
Fire broke out at 1:30 p. m. in Malone’s
oil mill, corner oflConcord and Inspection
streets. The loss is not known.
Gen. W. S. Crawford, U. 9. A., of Phila
delphia, who visits Charleston to see for
himself the condition of affairs, is much
impressed by the character of the loss by
the earthquake and holds it to be far be
yond the usual estimates.
Mayor Courtenay received to-day the
following telegram from London: ‘‘With
brotherhood and deep sympathy I respect
fully beg you to accept in my name £100
towards tne relief of tne sufferers from the
sad calamity. Henry Irving,
“Lyceum Theatre, London.”
There are no new developments in the
strike, but all the bricklayers employed
are now receiving f5 per day, good, bad or
indifferent.
Eight ministers of colored churches in
Charleston have returned to their homes.
To their people they qay as to the matter
of rendering assistance to those persons
whose houses have been in
jured : “We feel warranted in
saying that we have good assurance that
the necessary help will be given you by
the city authorities as soon as they are able
to get at the matter.” In conclusion they
say: “Let it be understood that in render
ing you aid, we consider ourselves as co
operating with the relief committee and.
other committees appointed by the
mayor.”
N. M. Rothschild & Sons, of London,
have contributed £500, and Messrs. Baring
Bros. & Co. the same amount to the re
lief fund. It is probable that a large sum
will be realized.
Aid for Charleston Baptists,
New York, September 13.—The Bap
tist pastors’ conference to-dav instructed
their Charleston relief committee to have
appeals printed for distribution among the
Baptist churches of this and surrounding
fities. The committee was also instructed

stocks than of late. While there was no
particular news to Influ nice values this
morning, a general advance was made
upon an improved feeling in the street.
The most important ohangea in prices
were in western specialties, the active
stocks generally fluctuating within a nar
row range. First prices showed advances
ranging from l to J, the latter being Louis
ville and Nashville, while Laekawanna
and Jersey Central were each up |.
There was considerable excitement
at the opening and for the first half hour,
there was an unusually active
business: but after a few further
slight advances, the prices yielding at noon
were slightly under opening figures. Later,
however,a general advance throughout the
list took place, which culminated about 2
p. ra., when the highest prices generally

before the close, which was about steady,

ballot was called and resulted: Clayton, 2
for Sessions; Cobb, 4 for Sessions; Fulton, 6
for Rice.
Cobb had put forward another man, but
the deadlock was unbroken. The balloting
continued with occasional recesses and
consultations until the 799th ballot was
reached, shortly after 5 o’clock, and the
convention adjourned until to-morrow at 9.
The prevailing impression is that the
convention will not make a nomination.

A Hot*H«uliMl Doctor.
Atlanta, September 13.—To-day a seri
ous casualty was narrowly averted by the
timely arrest of Dr. Pinckney. His buggy
was standing at the corner of Marietta and
Peachtree streets, where it was run against
by a hack. The hackman extricated his
wheel and was about to drive on when Dr.
Pinckney rushed out of a store andstopped
him. The driver apologized, but the
doctor tried to drag him from
his hack, and drawing his pistol
would probably have shot the
driver had not the cries for help made by
two ladies in the hack brought two police
men to the scene, who arrested the en
raged doctor in his attack. The occurrence
was ou one of the most popular thorough
fares of the city and created considerable
excitement. Recorder Anderson will in
terview the participants to-morrow morn

progressing quietly hero and the vote is
ratherdigliter than usual. There is much
cutting among local candidates. No esti

in this city. The republican ticket will
undoubtedly have a majority.
Augusta, Me., September 13.—From the
present outlook the republicans will carry
Augusta by about 609 mujority. At two
o’clock it stood about 475. The prohibi

representative was 120 ahead at 1:30

The call of counties was then resumed,
and the 409th ballot resulted: Rice 6, Moze-
ly 6, just;os its predecessors had done on
Saturday.
At the 461st ballot a fruitless recess was
taken, at the conclusion of which the bal

name of revolution. El Coyote, tho lendci.
i" known lo be a notorious smuggler, and
has been engaged in smuggling for years
on an extensive scale. Periodically these up
risings oecur to cover his smuggling transac
tions. He inis not over two hundred men.
The state of Tamaulipas is to tho City
of Mexico what Alaska is to Washington,
there being no direct communication
between this part of tho country
and that state. Most of the
information as giv en by the Mexican press
is copied from Texas papers. It is, how
ever, positively known that Coyote has
taken the small town of Guerrero, and is
moving towards New Laredo, that being
the end of the Mexican National railroad.
It is ridiculous to think that Coyote could
take that town. At tae National railroad
office in this city nothing could be learned,
as the general manager is in tho United
States. The Mexican press is entirely
silent on the subject. The surest sign that
there are no disorders of any magnitude
in the republic is that all troops are being
concentrated in the City of Mexico for a
grand military display, to take place on
September 16, the Mexican Fourth of
July.
The display this year in numbers will lie
greater than in any previous year. There
Is positively no revolutionary excitement
felt in this city. The only talk of the press
is on prejmrations for the celebration of
the 16th of September and the grand ball
to be tendered to Gen. Diaz on liis birth
day, September 15, for which no expense
is being spared by the military, who are
giving the ball.

the Boston authorities for forgery. He
was arrested In Morris county for grand
larceny in 1883 und sent to Trenton prison
for nine years. By feigning insanity he
secured a pardon January 20, 1885. He
came to Boston a few days after and
represented to the officials of the Christ
ian Association that he was a noted
criminal, and that he wanted to reform.
They took pity on him and one of them
gave him free board and lodgings for sev
eral months. They intended to open a re
treat for discharged convicts and place
Lasseli In charge, but the scheme fell
through. While visitiue the residence of
the prison officials he fell in love with the
nineteen-yoar-old daughter of one of them.
After gaining the confidence of many in
fluential persons, he passed a number of
forged cheeks on them and bis benefac
tors. He then persuaded the official’s
daughter to leave the city with him, and
they were married in Providence, and after
lie passed more forged checks in that city
he skipped to New York. Inthat city anil

THE CZAR STILL RETICENT.
Sofia, September 13.—The national as
sembly met to-day. The Russian agent has
received the czar's reply to Bulgaria ’spro-
posals. The czar says Russia will recog
nize a Bulgarian regency and assist the
union of Bulgarin and Eastern Roumella
on the condition that no nets of violence
he committed. Russia advises that public
opinion in Bulgaria be allowed to calm
down before a new prince be elected to
the Bulgarian throne. The Russian agent
has not yet communicated the czar’s reply
to the Bulgarian government, because the
relations between the present Bulgarian
ministers and him are very strained.
During the sitting of the national assem
bly to-day several of the deputies proposed
that the Bulgarian government send a
telegram to the czar requesting him to
communicate with the Bulgarian govern
ment direct instead of through an agent.

Brest Litovsk in Poland, not more than
260 kilometers apart, neither has given any
sign sof a desire or intention of meeting
the other. In fact, neither has sent the
other a greeting even by a dejiuty. The
Neue Freie Presse,of Vienna, complains of
the czar’s breach of courtesy towards Aus
tria. It says it is noteworthy that the Rus
sian military manouvers aie
taking place at the precise
corner of the Russian dominions
which would be principally threatened of
war in the event of u Russian conflict wit h
Austria. The Emperor Francis Joseph is at
the same time reviewing an equal number
of Austrian tioo'v*. ilie total being over
60,000 men at Pointupicc, which would
be naturally chosen ns the Austrian base
ot operations In the same event. "Thus
we see” says tho Neue Freie Presse, two
rival camps and two rival courts almost
within sight of each other.”

THE BLAINE-EDMUNDS FIGHT.

Washington, September 13.—An al
leged personal friend of Mr. Blaine, who
has been submitting to an interview in this
city, says that while Blaine is the foremost
man in the republican party, and likely to
get the nomination of that party in l‘888,
there is no move in that direction yet.
This sounds very muoh like the talk of
1882 and 1883 over the suggestion that in
the approaching camoaign all personal
feeling must be laid aside to secure victory
for the party. “The strongest candidate”
is to bo everybody’s motto, and
“the strongest candidate” will,
of course, be the man who

This friend of Mr.
that the election of Mr. Edmunds In Ver
mont will be regarded by Mr. Blaine as a
victory over him. He explains that the
hostility existing between, Mr. Edmunds
and Mr. Blaine is personal. “It grew out,”
he says, “of debates in the senate, princi
pally upon the Alabama awards. The de
bates were very bitter, and the Vermont
senator was beaten by Mr. Blaine. After
all the Alabama claims had been settled
that were provided for by the law, as you
know, there was considerable money left.
Then the question arose under the other
clase of claims whether the money should
be paid to the claimants or to the insurance
companies. The democratic house held
that it should go to the claimants.
The senate, led by EdmuudB, Carpenter
and Thurman, stood by the insurance
companies. Mr. Blaine, almost alone, op
posed them, maintainiug that the money
should go to the claimants. Mr. Ed
munds and Mr. Carpenter ridiculed his
ignorance of tho law, and the debates be

phlet continues: “Laving aside rhetorical
bosh, it is necessary to state'
actual facts regarding eviction. By
the land act of 1881 a tenant cannot
possibly be evicted unless he refuses to
pay rent or does not comply with certain
statutory conditions not forming qn imag
inary grievance. Ejectment for non-pay
ment of rent cannot be brought for less
than a year’s rent actually due. If an
ejectment be brought, the tenant
may redeem the property at any
time within six months after
the execution of the writ or may within
the same period sell his tenancy after the
writ Inis been executed to anybody, and
the purchaser may redeem the property.
Many other advantages are possessed
by tenants. Therefore an eviction
is dangerous and costly to the landlord
and is practiced only in extreme cases. If
a year’s rent should fall due in September
or November the landlord does not get a
decree until the January sessions, ana six
months more must elapse before lie can
gain possession of the land. The landlord
is then liable to the tenant for the crop, so
that nearly two years must elapse before
he fully recovers his tenancy.
MOBBED BY WOMEN.
Dublin, September 13.—Three moon
light raids took place lust night, all of
them close to the headquarters of General
Sir Redvers Boiler. Ciifl'e, a bailiff, who
had made himself very obnoxious by his
cruel treatment of women whom he had
recently evicted, went early to attend
mass in Belcurru chapel. When the con
gregation noticed Cutle’s presence they be
came very indignant, and the men dragged
him from the building. When
they had him outside they
turned him over to the women, who
were begging “for a chance at Inin.”
Among those women wore twelve that
Cuffe had evicted. They were furious and
fell upon the bailiff and bout him unmerci
fully. Subsequently the priest, who is also
president of the local branch of the
National League, admitted the battered
bailiff to hear mass, and this mercy for the
unfortunate inun has almost caused a re
bellion against the priest.
A STAMPEDE IN A CHURCH.
Vienna, September 13.—The celebra

the altar curtains, which were set ou fire

building, trampling the weak under foot.
Numbers of the occupants of the galleries
leaped down on the heads of the crowd
below. Several hundred persons are in
jured, many seriously.
