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 ,o make arrangements for a mass meeting, vhich will be addressed by prominent peakers, to take place at an early day, nd the proceeds of which will be devoted > the needs of the Baptist churches in ,'iarleston. _ >'o War Vet. in Spiti-ilf Reports.

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 w ere recorded. Another slight yielding in values followed, but the market recovered before the close, which was about steady, at the best prices of the day.

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. The Thirteen Originals, Atlanta, September 13.—To-morrow Governor McDaniel, accompanied by Adjutant-General Stephens and Cap tain E. P. Howell, will leave for Philadelphia, where the gov ernors of the thirteen original states meet on the 17th instant to map out the pro gramme for a grund centennial celebra tion in 1887 of the adoption of the federal constitution. 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 ing.

East Port, Me., September 13.—The Knights of Labor nominated for repre sentative in the legislature their master workman, who is also a prominent prohi bitionist.

No Stmiutli nr (httrarlor In fill) IiiKiirginl Si’llt-ini- nf Coyote. City ok Mexco, September 13. —The up rising in Tamaulipns does not deserve the 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. BENEVOLENCE WASTED. A Dlsdiargi-il (nutlot Uiikh Away With III* Ben«- Ihrtor’* IlHuKlitnr. Boston, September 13.—Claude B. Las- aell, Jr., who was arrested by Pinkerton’s detectives at Chicago to-day, Is wanted by 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 Norfolk, Va., he passed similar cheeks. He then went to Chicago, where he made the acquaintance of Rev. Mr. Willard.

The republican plu rality is 3791, against 5090, a republican loss of 1899. Bangor, Me., September 13.—At the election in this city to-day the vote wus light, nearly 700 less than in 1884. The total vote was 3207, of which Bodwell has 1762, Edwards 1448 and Clark 97; Bodwell’s plurality, 314. For congress: Boutelle, for congaess, has 1808 and Lynch (dem.) 1373; Boutelle’s plurality, 435. Three republican representatives and the entire republican county ticket arc elected save possibly the sheriff. Lewiston, Me,. Beptember IS.—Returns from a large number of towns In the sec ond district show that Dingley (rep.) lias been re-elected to congress by over 700 plurality over Gar^elon (dem.) and .300 majority over all.

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. THEY WILL NOT LEND. A German banking house has declined the proposal from tho Bulgarian govern ment for raising a loan for tTiat country. AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA SHOWING TEETH. London, September 13.—It is remarked that although the Emperor Francis Joseph is at Przemysl in Galucia, and the czar at 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.” FIFTEEN PEOPLE KILLED IN OHUBCH.

The disease is of the nature of dysentery, ending in the cases of children In spinal meningitis and death. Thus far it has been confined to the limits of the village, and this necessitates the closing of the schools and the abandon ment of all public meetiugs. The disease is similar to that which prevailed with such terrible effect In Galena a few years ago and Spring Green, Wis., In 1884. Much alarm Is felt. Thu Wilmington Ntrlke Kmlod. Wilmington, Del.. September 13.—The strike of the Wilmington morocco workers, which began In March, lost has been prac tically ended, and the men will resume work. The old employes of two .of the factories have been given permission by the executive board of the Knights of Labor to return to their places, and it is probable that the strike will be formally declared offin a day or two. The terms of settle ment arc not known, but it is given out that the new arrangements are satisfactory to all concerned. THE BLAINE-EDMUNDS FIGHT. It* Merit* IIIhi iikkimI by n Friend of tlie Main# State* mnn. 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 can get a nu' 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 came very bitter.

London, September 13.—The Irish Locu, and Patriotic Union lias issued a pamphlc' on the Irish question for the use of ’ th members of the house of commons and the press. The haters of Irish tenant fanner , says the pamphlet, hus, within the pa:' sixteen years, undergone a marked amel ioration, owing to the various remedh:’. statutes. There has certainly been a fall in prices, but everything con sidered there is nothing exceptionally bad inllrisb agriculture. The Irish enjoy greater advantages of tenure than otln people. With improved methods there i.i reason to look to the future with conli denee. Here figures ure quoted (showing that full advantage is taken of the rigid. I', sell their interest in holdings. The jiam 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.
