astonished to learn of the wedding. The
R rnan is only eighteen years old, 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

RELIEF FOR CHARLESTON. •
Mary Anderson to Piny n IVook for
A'olile Irish Women.
Special Cable to New York Times.
Consul-General Waller received a letter
from Mrs. Hugo, of Rathfarnham, county :
Dublin, stating that some very poor Irish
lace workers there, in whom she takes an \
interest, “desire to make the small offering
of a piece of their work in hopes that it
can be sold and the money given to the
sufferers in Charleston. 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. She has agreed to de
vote her entire share of the receipts of the
engagement to the relief fund.

Riot nn a Steamer.
New York. September 15.—The steamer
Grand Republic, on its way home from
Roekaway yesterday, had a very tough
crowd of young men on board. 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. Sales 271,600 scares.
TWO DEAD.
A Man Butchered 111 Bed. uml Ills Miiycr yml to

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

the slightest clew to who he is. The shot
was fired so close to Porter’s head that the
shock knocked him down, which pre
vented him from getting sight of the guilty
man.

ENGLAND OOBRLING ANOTHER ISLAND.
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.
Vienna, September 15.—The Political
Correspondence (newspaper) says that
Gen. 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.

Which may wreck the church. Rev. F. li.
Cress,y, of Dutriot, was announced to speak

it was intended tlmr. the meeting

Congregational republicans of the town,
however, smelled a political mouse on ac

ANOTHER BANK SINKS.
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

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. In ttiis the government en
gineers have greatly assisted by their re
ports on the condition of the dwellings.

Chicago. 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.

St. Louis, September 15.—The appeal of
Commander Fairchild, of the G. A. R., to

propriate an amount of money from the
post funds for the Charleston sufferers.
Thiswill probably lie done, and subscrip

Columbus. 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.

New York. September 11.—Anthony A.
Short, alias George Hall, who says ho is a
divinity student when he is not a waiter,
and who is a colored citizen from Phila
delphia, went into tho store of Krause &
Livingston on Wednesday night and asked
to see some diamond rings. Mr. Marcus
Livingston mistrusted the colored cus
tomer and said it was too late to show
gems. The customer then left, hut called
yesterday afternoou and was shown a dia
mond ring worth $*!0. He seemed pleased
with the stone and toyed with it,
placing it on and taking it
off his large Angers. He then asked
for a watch, single case; this was
also shown, but did not pleaso him. He
was then shown a handsome gold watcli
with a gold chain and pendant. This
pleased hint also and he coolly walked out
of the store. Mr. Krause sprung from be
hind the counter and rushed after the
thief and had the satisfaction of seeing
officer John Condon, of the fourth precinct,
I collar him. The negro showed tight, and
while Condon was preparing to put on the
' handouflfe swallowed the diamond. The
| watch was found in his pocket. At the
j tombs this morning lie argued that it was
; a ense of mistaken identity. He is a lio-
j torious confidence thief, getting employ-
1 ment as a waiter in first-class houses, and
robbing those who trust him. Justice
Duffy held him in default of $1000 bail.
