Atlanta, Ga., September 15.—Before leaving for Philadelphia this morning Governor McDaniel issued several orders. One notified the comptroller that several insurance companies doing business in Georgia had not filed their semi-annual statements, whereupon Comptroller Wright issued the following order, which will be published in the form of n notice or proclamation in Columbus, Macon, At lanta, Augusta, Savannah and Athens: _,The following insurance companies, viz: The Westchester Eire; “The Aetna Life,’,' “The Provident Savings Life,” “The Brit ish and Foreign Marine,” ana the Equi table Accident, having failed to make and file their semi annual statements to the governor on the first of July, 188*1, or with-, in sixty days thereafter, as required by law, I have, by virtue of the authority vested in me under section 2843 of the code of Geor gia, revoked the licenses heretofore issued to said companies to transanct any bus iness of insurance in this state for the year 188*1.

They have a warm recollection of the kind feeling displayed toward the poor and needy of this country some years since by sending seed potatoes and food, and wish now in return to con tribute a piece of their beautiful work, which means to them a great deal.” In the cause of charity Mary Anderson | has determined to quit her voluntary re tirement lor six nights. Moved by sympathy for the distress caused by the re cent earthquakes in the south, the actress has arranged with Michael Gunn to give a series of performances early in October at the Gaiety theatre, Dublin, to be support ed by a specially selected London com pany, and to present at least four plays from her repertoire.

Long be fore reaching New York they got up a fight among themselves, and Captain W. H. VanSchaick and Officer John M. John ston attempted to stop the row. In the small riot which resulted both the captain and officer wore pretty roughly handled, and Johnston did not have any more clothes on him than he positively needed. When the boat reached New York the leaders of the fighting element, George Fryer, of No. 245 West Thirty-fourth street, and John Hall, of No. 222 West Twenty-first street, were arrested. To-day they were taken to Jefferson Market court and held for trial. They said they didn’t know Johnston was an officer. ON CHANGE. A Quiet But Active liny. New York, September 15.—The stock market to-day recovered its strong tone, and with the exception of a small period in the morning, during which there was a slight decline, and another shading off in the last hour, the market was strong throughout the day. There was very little feature in the morning, although buying in Union Pacific continued and the grangers wore prominently active. The announcement was made just before noon that the managers had signed pooling ar rangements at Chicago, which materially aided the bullish feeling prevailing. Read ing was materially aided in the afternoon by reports of all agreement between two conflicting interests in the company. Final prices in the active list show irregular changes of fractional amounts only, rang ing from an advance of i in Western Union to a decline of small fractions. Reading, however, is up 2.

Helena, Mont., September 15.—Satur day night there occurred on the ranch of Fred bpiinger a horrible double tragedy, by which Thomas J. Leard and Adolf Baro lost their lives. Two years ago Leard loaned Baro money, hut when the note fell due, Leard had mislaid it, and Baro re fused payment. Some difficulty occurred, but the matter was finally amicably set tled, although the note was not paid. Re cently Leard foundthe missing paper and notified Baro, who promised to settle. He came to where the Leards were staying. Tom was alone when Baro came, and the two evi dently went to bed together. After a short time Baro arose and cut Tom Leard’s throat and crushed his head with an ax. About 10 at night Charlie Leard arrived at camp. When he opened the cabin door Baro rnsmsd at him with a huge knife, and Charlie grappled with him. The light was overturned and put out. Baro cut Charlie severely several times before the latter could collect his thoughts. He finally drew a revolver and tired, killing Baro in stantly. Baro is thought to have been in sane. He had long been regarded as ec centric. Joplin, Mo., September 15.—A horrible tragedy was committed on Main street about 8 o’clock to-night. Dr. L. G.

Constantinople, September 15.—The British are establishing a coaling station at Tliaso. on the northeast shore of the island of Thaso. The island is in the AJgean sea, off the south coast of Rou- melin, and belongs in a great part to the khedive. The island has, however, for some time enjoyed certain autonomic, privileges. Besides establishing a coaling station at the village of Thaso, the British are giving other indications of an intention to govern the whole island. Said Pasha, the Turkish minister of foreign affairs, has telegraphed to Rus- tein Pasha, the Turkish ambassador to England, to ask Lord lddesleigh, British foreign minister, whether or not it is true that England is chartering steamers ami making other provisions against contin gencies; and if so, what are England’s rea sons for this activity, if it is in a direction in which Turkey lias an interest. a sensational report. Paris, September 15.—The Re.puhlique Francaise publishes a telegram from Lou don which states that England meditates a grand coup d’etat, and will probably proclaim Egypt a British possession. “She will, however,” adds the paper, “do noth ing until she lias a sufficient force at Alexandria.” A SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT OF THE CZAR’S.

Baron Kaulhars, military attache of the Russian embassy at Vienna, who wils summoned from Galicia while attending the Austrian maneuvers to Brostlitovsk, Poland, by the czar last week, has been appointed Russian diplomatic agent at Sofia. If so, the appointment must, be considered significant, as Kaulhars is ad mitted to be tho best informed foreigner living bore concerning the military affairs of Austria. CHURCHILL AND CLANCEY CLASH. London, September 15.—J. J. Clancey, Parnellite, in the house of commons, this evening charged the government with re fusing to pay the slightest attention to the Irish members when they urged remedies for the local grievances |of the people of Ireland. Lord Randolph Churchill re plied that the accusation was .unfounded. He declared that the government was eager to remedy every reasonable griev ance, and intended for that purpose to de velop” the functions of local government boards and boards of works In accordance, if possible, with the views of the Irish members. The government, he added, would make proposals to parliament at tho earliest moment possible for placing all questions of local government and public the now physically falling unfortunates were cast. At the end of the three days interval all hands were prepared for trial at 2 o’clock, tho hour decided upon. The Judge failed to appear until 6 o’clock, and thou relused to hear the ease. Another oouttnuance was ordered, and yesterday the case was settled for the fourth and last time. The three men were acquitted, us there was no evideuce against them. These •re the allegations of the bill of complaint, besides which are statements showing tho complainants to hnve boon injured in mind and body by their detention. A Non lUllninil In ToniimsM).

HOT WORDS IN CHURCH. An Irate Shir Falls Die Pastor fn tmiiinl. uml Ills Ailvlsen Chelsea, Mioh., September 13.—A sen sational episode at the Congregational ohureh yesterday is town talk to-day, and the congregation are divided in a fashion Which may wreck the church. Rev. F. li. Cress,y, of Dutriot, was announced to speak or. temperance at the Baptist church, and it was intended tlmr. the meeting should lie a “union” service. The Congregational republicans of the town, however, smelled a political mouse on ac count of Cressy’s prohibition proolivilies, and objected to their pastor’s union ser vice intentions. Poster Kaley therefore marie a pulpit recantation of bis sin of ac ceptance yesterday morning, whereupon Mrs. William Hong took the iloor mid tnc breath away from the congregation. She poured hot shot into tho pastor and shelled her republican brethren for interfering with n union meeting, TOO much for the deacon. A deacon t: iod to stop her, but aho kept on until she had wrought herself and the congregation to a high pitch of excite ment. Above the din could he heard the pastor protesting against the attack and calling upon Mrs. Hoag to subside. Order was filially obtained, and what remained of the meeting hour was devoted to dis cussing this affair. The congregation mostly feel that, the woman was righL, and admire her audacity.

Bill the Cuslilcr Stays liy It to the l.usl. St. Louis, Sept.15.—Late yesterday after noon Howard County Bank at Glasgow closed its doors and placed its business in the hands of a trustee for the benefit of its creditors. James S. Thompson, president of the bank, makes the following . state ment, : “The assets of the bank arc amplo to pay all depositors and stockholders in full. Hard times and the extreme diffi culty in collecting induced the directors to turn over the business to a trustee, who wifi collect and pay off first the depositors and then the| stockholders." The assets works in Ireland m vlio bands of-the* j>ishx amount to about $30,000. The liabilities it would do not amount to quiic tli people' and therefore he thought be no more than fair to give the govern meat time to develop these intended meas ures, instead of protracting the business before the house by enforcing a discussion of details with a constant repetition of every imaginable grievance which Irisli- mcnTiiight lia'.-o. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chief secretary for Ireland, also complained of t he con stant reiteration of the same subjects in debate. He was unable to conceive why this was done, unless it was done for tho purpose of wasting time. Clancy a^ain arose nod responded that nne had asked the government to com that sum. One of the largest creditors of the bunk is the Laclede bank of Si. Louis. It, however, will not be seriously affected by the iiiil- Charleston, S. C., September 15.— There is no particular change, in tho situa tion to-day, hut the work of rough repara tion is going on in every part of the city. It is impossible to restore the buildings to their former condition; but they nro put ting on a better appearance, and the very hum of labor tends to lighten the situa tion. There is a scarciLy of bricklayers and plasterers, but numerous applications for work come In daily. The relict' com mittee to-day considered the condition of Summerville and tho villages along the line of tho South Carolina railway and of the town of Mount Pleasant, oppo site Charleston, on Cooper river, and re solved unanimously that tnc losses in those places should be provided for in the ratio of their amount on the same basis as the loss in Charleston. The feeling of the committee is that while most of the funds were sent in the name of Charleston, the intention of the donors was to furnish relief to the whole earthquake district in tills vicinity. The committee on immediate relief tins been or ganized and is issuing small sums of money to persons in groat distress for want of clothing, clc. Most of the touts and shelters provided for the refugees in the city lmvc been removed, and tho intention is to have all cleared away by the end of the month.

September 15.—The hoard of trade directors have instructed Secretary Stone to divide thfe subscription for the (Iharlcston and Texas sufferers into two equal parts, and to forward checks for tho same to the duly authorized parties for ra nch ing the donations. The total amount collected was $5530, and n game of base bull to-morrow will be the means of add ing another $1000 to tho relief fund. But this is for Charleston alone. The Chicago branch of the American Association of tnc Red Cross appropriated $2000 to-day for tiie Charleston sufferers. Tim Appeal Wall ItaodYed. St. Louis, September 15.—The appeal of Commander Fairchild, of the G. A. R., to liis comrades of that organization is favorably received by tho Grand Army posts of Brooklyn. It is proposed to ap propriate an amount of money from the post funds for the Charleston sufferers. Thiswill probably lie done, and subscrip tions will bo taken up among the people. — • Boston's Miuilllreimo. Boston, September 15.—The Charleston relief fund here now amounts to $58,892. Treasurer Jordan to-day received the fol lowing telegram from Mayor Courtenay, of Charleftnn: “Boston’s munificent con tribution of $25,060 received. I have no words to express the thanks of Charleston for this effort of your generous citizens to sustain and lift up their stricken fellow countrymen here.

Sept. 13.—A political son Ration was created to-day in the court oi’ common pleas, tho September team of court opening to-day. After the usual formalities, tho edge took an abrupt departure from ] the usual course, and made a most vigoi ous and sweeping charge, He referred to the law passed May 4, 1886, relating tty gambling in grain and the suppression of jit. He also referred to the statutes regu- | lating primary elections, and the penult;, | for using money and other improper | methods for securing nomiua- i tions at the polls or in eon 1 ventions. He stated that good citizens | charged that the statutes had very recent- I ly been outrageously violated; that it was the duty of the jury to indict and bring to trial llu violators of law; “for the doctrine that tlie votes of men are to bo purchased i in the market as so much merchandise is fraught with as much danger to any dem ocratic-republican state os is the doctrine of the anarchist. You have the power,” I said Judge Wylie, “to inquire into and find | out if these tilings be so, if this condition , of affairs exists, and a rigid investigation j without fear or favor will result in great I good to the state.” The charge ortho , judge created a profound sensation, nr, it was the first time in tho history of the court where the judge had felt called upon to express the views of the better element of the people. In closing Judge Wylie said of the tally sheet forgeries: “I also wish to call your attention, gen tlemen of the grand jn'ry, to another mat ter. If report and certain published state ments which have never been denied be true, there wus another violation of the law in regard to the election returns of tlie ward in which J live, the thirteenth ward, where the ligures were raised at the fall election from 208 to 608. This bold deed has been investigated by two grand juries without any result. It is your duty to j again look into it and sift any evidence I which peradventure may come to light. [ j say peradventure, because there rniiv be some additional Diets secured, uml wliieh } will be presenter] to you by the prosecuting i attorney. Whatever may lie presented t.o jyou.it is your duty to consider carefully ! and if possible bring the perpetrators of I the great wrong to justice.” | The last clause in Judge Wylie’s charge has created a panicky feeling in certain j quarters. The gang that is responsible for the stealing of the tally sheet and the j forgery while the count was being made last fall are decidedly nervous, as the word 1 has gone out that nothing further would j be done. Tho sweeping charge of the I judge, and the manner in which it was de- ] livered, is the general topic of conversa tion to-night. Judge Wylie is a democrat and will soon retire from the bench. Read- I ing between the lines, it is inferred that Judge Wylieds in possession of important I information that might be brought out should tie tie culled upon to testify. Ih Arthhuthwit a drunk t St. Louis, September 15.—Chief of Police Halloran, of East St. Louis, to-day sent further inquiry to Covington, Tenn., where Arthur Arthbuthust, who confessed the murder of the late ex-Mayor Bowman,Is confined. The matter has been placed in the hands of Frank Bowman, the murder ed man’s son, and ho will probably de mand Arthbuthust’s return to East 8t.
