8 IN AS IICRIUCAXE CENTER A BARK’S ROUGH EXPERIENCE WITH A CYCLONE. 6pars, Sails and Wheel Carried Away and Nothin* Lolt but the Lower Masts—The Crew and Officers Lashed to the Deck for Eight Hours—The Captain’s Terrible Plight. The Norwegian bark Birgitte arrived dis masted at quarantine yesterday from Rio Janeiro, and from her pilot, A. Marmelstein, wa- obtained the story of the disasters through which the ship had passed. She sailed from Rio Janeiro on July 2, and had good weather until Aug. 17, on which date site passed through one of the most terrilic gales that probably was ever weathered by any vessel. The barometer was noticed falling rapidly, giving warning of the a[v preaching cyclone. The vessel had got into what is designates! on the chart as hurricane centre, about east southeast of Tybee. and half way between Tyliee and Bermuda, a spot probably thut no vessel ever reported before—that is, no vessel ever before got into the exact centre of it in a hurricane. LASHED TO THE WHEEL. In the afternoon the wind and sea kept increasing rapidly, mid preiiarations were made to face the blow. Everything was lashed down and all sails furled except the foretopmast staysail and tnamstaysail. Double gaskets were put on nil the sails, and the man was lashed to the wheel. The work was barelv completed when the storm burst over the ship in all its fury, and the captain states thar his barometer fell below 28. When be observed this lie ordered all men aboard to lash themselves separately in different parts of the ship, which they did, the Captain putting double lashing on himself. In this situation they remained for eight horn's, without seeiug or speaking to each other, while the wind and sea were ■playing havoc with the ship. HEK SPARS CARRIED AWAV. She was hove down on her beam ends with her rails under water during the en tire eight hours, the sea constantly washing over her. and the water going down into ber hold. The two staysails and every spar, with the ox ception of the three lower masts, which were new, and had recently been put in, were carried away. The spanker boom also went, and not a single stitch of canvas was saved, it being blown away in pieces not as big as a man’s hand from the gaskets. The wheel was carried away, the rudder dam aged, the stern stove in and the copper on the sides all gone and ballast shifted. THE CAPTAIN’S PLIGHT. Her cabin is in a terrible condition, the cabin house is completely strained, and not a single door w ill close. Everything move able on deck went over, carrying the rails with it. The falling spars kept pounding the sides of the ship and stripped her of the copper. The Captain's lashings parted and he was dashes 1 on top of the house, where he hold on, and for a time ne was under the impression that the house had been washed off deck, and that it was drifting about. The captain has since been in a terrible fix. Ilis legs are all bruised, and both ankles sprained and swollen to an enormous size. WEATHERING ANOTHER STORM. After the storm subsided a spare foresail and mainsail were got out from the cabin, and with these the ship was worked until Aug. 21, when she again encountered another gale, and was again thrown on her beam ends. How she weathered the two storms, the captain says, was nothing short of a miracle. Pilot Marmelstein spoke her considerably to the southward, and did a splendid piece of work in bringing her into Tybee with no other assistance ex cept the fore sail and main sail. She was then towed into quarantine. The ship is in a terrible plight, and is leaking slightly. She will come up to the citv shortly when a survey will probably be held on her. CRUSHED BY AN ELEVATOR. Harry Brown Loses His Life in a Hatchway. Harry Brown, a negro porter, was crushed to death by the olevator in Alt mayer & Co.’s store, on Bull and Brough ton streets, aliout 1 o'clock yesterday after noon. The elevator was out of order, and a machinist, whom Brown was assisting, was at work upon it at the time. Tho freight elevator is suspended just below the |>asser.ger, and Brown was stepping from it to the fourth floor when the accident occurred. B. B. Mingiedorf, the machinist, was above the elevator among the wheels and he called tielow to Brown to start tho elevator and stop it immediately. He only wanted to move it a foot or t wo. Mr. Beii Ehrlich, one of the clerks, was on the elevator at the time, but before it was Started he stepped off. Brown pulled the rope and the elevator startod down rapidly, and ju=t as it did he stepped backward from It to the floor, but the bottom of the passenger elevator struck him on the head and knocked him down. He fell and his head and shoulders pro truded over the edge of the hatchway. Mr. Ehrlich, seeing the accident , sprang for the rojie, but before he could stop the ele vator It liad descended upon Brown’s chest and crushed him. He was taken ont, and laid upon the floor, but blood was running freely from his mouth, ami he died liefore a physician could reach him. The inquest wn- held soon after the accident occurred, and the verdict was that the death was the result of an accident and no one was to blame but Brown himself. The accident caused some excitement, among the clerk3 of the establishment, most, of whom are ladies, hut their fears were soon quieted by Mr. O’Connell, the mana ger. hut for some time after it occurred there was an unusual pallor alxuit their cheeks. Brown was about 25 years old and mar ried. He had been employed by the firm for a number of years, and he was consid ered one of the hardest working and most trustworthy of the porters. A Novel Theft. At the Ocean Steamship wharves, where a hundred or more negroes are employed, their time is kept by means of numbers. Every laborer is given a brass chock or tag, with his number on it. This number is credited with all his work and on (lay day he presents his check and receives the amount there is to the credit of that number. Naturally the owners guard their checks carefully, but. the negroes who live by their wits sometimes steal them, and presenting them at the (my window, receive another's money , and off they go. Yesterday George vers ami Frank Arnold loet their cheeks, bin they very shrewdly ]Kwtcd themselves near the window, and when James (4u! lawny and Ed. Wiley came smilingly up and presents-d the stolen checks, they pounced on t hem, and almost before they were aware of it, “one of the finest.” hud them on the way to the barracks, where they were looked up on a charge of lnreuny. Choked With a Towel. John Wallace (colored) is a sort, of mod ern thug from all accounts. Yesterday Tshmael Simmons (colored) went into a res taurant on Bay street and purchased 10c. worth of eggs. As is usual with many ne groes lie wore a towel around his neck like a scarf. As )u* came out with his eggs John Wallace rushed up and knocked him down, the eggs making eccentric curves in all direc tion*. He then twisted the towel tightly around Simmons' neck and began choking off his supply of wind. Simmons naturally objected, and tried to cry nut, but the “neck tie” prevented. Finally, however, he was rescued and relieved of his danger ous neck wear. Wallace was locked up. When asked whv he attempted to choke Simmons lie said that Hiriiiiuius hail talked too long with his wife that morning. OFF ON A LARK. A Happy Pair Expelled From tho Ocean House. All interest ing, if not agreeable, affair oc curred at Tyiiee Friday afternoon, soon after.!. Lutz and “wife’’ registered at the i Ocean House. They seemed to be a very I loving couple, and they were so highly de- I lighted with each other and with the cool ! sea breezes, that they became quite frisky and attracted the attention of Mr. Hodges, whose suspicions were aroused. He began a quiet investigation and ix; tore long lie learned that “.Mrs. Lutz’’ was not Mrs. Lutz, and he promptly informed the merry pair that the Ocean House was not big enough to hold them. They wave indignant at first, but their indignation soon turned to wrath, ami in their anger they spoke in just a way as to lot uli the guests at the hotel know what had hapiiened, and that seaside resort had as neat a bit of gossip lor the re mainder of the day as Long Branch could wish for. The subjects thereof returned to the city on an early train and “Mrs. Lutz” secluded herself, but J. Lutz was not through with his adventures. He imbibed rather freely, and while in his cups he got into an altercation with Ixo Mehrtens und had bis throat cut. He was taken to Dr. W. F. Reid’s drug store, corner South and East Brood streets, bleed ing profusely from what seemed a terrible wound in his hock. Dr. Reid at once told Lutz that he should see a physician, and endeavored to call n carriage by means of the telephone. He called in vain, for although he rang up Central for over fifteen minutes no response could be obtained. Finally someone who was having the same very exasperating experience, and who heard the doctor’s calls for aid, said over tho wire that it was no use to call on Central. Ho had boon work ing for half an hour, but had failed to re ceive an answer. In the meanwhile the doctor had washed the wound und found it not so bod as at first thought. He dresses 1 it carefully and told Lutz to go home and rest quietly. A car nage had been sent for by u boy, and when it arrived Lutz was taken in and driven home. The cut was a very painful though not serious one, extending from the back of the neck around on the left side to the jaw, being fully four inches long. Lutz stated that ho was standing on the comer of Drayton and York streets talking to Mehrtens, when a quarrel began between them. Angry words soon led to blows, and finally Mehrtens drew a knife and stabbed him. A friend standing near, named Mar tin Haar, took him to Dr. Reid’s. On the way home Lutz stopped at the barracks and asked that Mehrtens be arrested, and the Sergeant di rected him to where he could find a mounted man who*would bring Mehrtens in, but the mounted man reported that Lutz had not seen him. Lutz was on the street Inst night and did not seem to be seriously injured. THE LATE BISHOP ELLIOTT. A Sketch of His Life and Work as a Soldier and Minister. Bishop Robert Woodward Barnwell El liott, whose death was announced yesterday, was a native of this city anil it was here that his early life was spent. He was the son of Bishop Stephen Elliott, the first bishop of Georgia, who for many years was the rector of Christ Church, this citv. Tho late Bishop Elliott was born here fn 1840, and he was educated in this city until he was ready for college. Ho tonic his colle giate course at the State University, Columbia. >S. C., where for a number of years his father was professor of belle let tres, prior to his entrance in the ministry. Soon after he had completed his education the war broke out, ana Bishop, then Mr. Elliott, entered the army as adjutant on Gen. Lawton’s staff, and he made an en viable record as a gallant soldier. He was sovely wounded at the second battle of Ma nassas, but soon recovered completely. After the war ho began his preparation for the ministry. Ho was ordained deacon in 1807 and priest in 1808. Both ordina tions took place in Christ Church. After entering the ministry he went to New York. and for a year he was the assistant of Rov. Dr. Montgomery. He w.as then chosen rector of !St„ Philip’s, Atlanta, and he was in charge of that parish when he was elected Missionary Bishop of Western Texas. In that field Bishop Elliott has labored hard and faith fully, and lie has left behind him a record for good work that, will last longer than a monument. He was sent by the general convention to Mexico sorno years ago when there were some troubles among the mission aries there, and his work then was success ful as were all his efforts. He was an earn est., faithful worker, and by his deatli t.he Episcopal Church loses one of its ablest Bishops and mot earnest supporters. In 18t>8 Bishop Elliott married Miss Caro line Elliott, a sister of Dr. W. H. Elliott, of this city, and five children were born to them, all of whom, with their mother, sur vive him. THE CHATTAHOOCHEE’S VOYAGE. Struck by a Gale Off Hatteras— Bhe Weathers a Bad Storm but is Not In jured. The steamer Chattahoochee which arrived here yesterday morning encountered a ter rifie gale on last when she was ten miles north of Cape Hatteras. The wind blew furiously all Wednesday and that night hut lulled slightly Thursday. By noon, however, its force had increased again and the blow continued until mid night. At 12 o’clock Thursday the Captain found that he was just where he had been at the some hoar on the previous day, and all his efforts bad not driven the ship for ward a foot . Tho vessel bore the storm well, and when she arrived shh was none the worse for the venture, except thnt her paint was somewhat stained. Eulogistic resolu tions were passed by the passengers, and signed by Rev. Thomas Boone and about twenty others.

A letter to the AVics and Cowrier from Ashepoo, on the Charleston and Savannah Railway, gives the following hopeful state ment of tin' condition of the rice fields in that section: “Notwithstanding the gloomy prospects for the rice crops in June, owing to tlie drought and salt river, the rite plant ers, nearly nil, have exceedingly fine crops. The upland crops also are the finest we have seen for yen re in this section. Mr. James Gahngan. one of Ashepoo’s most successful rice planters, will conniem'o nt once the harvest of his crop.

Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. The charges on lemons from Sanford to New York is 40c. per box. The average weight per lxix is 80 pounds. From New York to Sanford the rate is about 50c. per box. The St. John’s, Ixike Weir and Gulf rail road, Florida, arouses great expectations among the settlers along tho proposed line. Several routes have Ixm surveyed, and the building of the road is a probability. Pensacola, Fla., is reaching out for new avenues of trade. She has already estab lished a steamer fine to Milton and Black water, and contemplates starting another on the Conecuh and Escambia rivers. The Board of Corporators of the Hunts ville f Ala.) Belt Line and Monte Suno Rail road Company opened books of subscription at the office or the North Alabama Improve ment Company for capital stock to the road, which is to run from Huntsville to the mountain. The engineers of the Georgia Central road have reached Gadsden, Ala., and will soon proceed to Decatur. The Tennessee and Coosa Rivers railroad and the Rome and Decatur road are doing a good business, making from five to eight trips a day from Gadsden to Attalla. The stockholders of the Alabama and Tennessee Coal and Iron Company met Fri day at Huntsville, Ala., for the purpose of increasing the capital stock from $2,200,000 to not more than $8,225,000. and its bonded debt to not more than $1,500,000, and to ef fect a consolidation with the Sheffield and Birmingham Railroad Company., The Railroad Rate Committee have been wrangling for months over the rate for domestics, baled and unbaled. They have finally agreed to put domestics at sixth class. The members of the rate committee have appreciated tho injustice that would be done the mill men by placing their goods in any but tlie sixth class. The Georgia railroad has all the time been shipping goods at sixth class, and so have several otlier roads lending out of Augusta. Mr. Edwin F. Jones, formerly with the Louisville and Nashville railroad, with headquarters at Montgomery, Ala., has been appointed chief engineer of the Buena Vista and Ellavilie railroad and has taken charge of the construction work now in progress near Americas. Mr. Jones is an experienced engineer, having long been in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville road. His fattier constructed the Macon anil Western railroad from Macon to At lanta, and also tlio Muscogee road from Ma con to Columbus, and his brother, Col. T. G. Jones, is the present attorney of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Engi neer Payne, lately resigned .from the Buena Vista and Ellavilie road on account of sick ness, will leave shortly for his former home in Virginia to recuperate. Greenville (S. C.) Newt: The committees appointed by the citizens’ mass meeting of Aug. 1, to prepare material for the big rail road meeting for the Carolina,Knoxville and Western, salesday in September, are busily but quietly at work. When the meeting conies off everything will be found in read iness for the campaign to open. A petition for the election on the county subscription is being drawn up, and an address to the citizens of the county is in preparation. The Hon. Sam McKinney, one of Knox ville’s most prominent citizens, will be at tho meeting, and Col. C. W. Charlton, and perhaps several other leading citizens of that railroad metropolis of the future, are also expected. Col. McKinney was ac cused of making the best railroad speech on record, at the meeting at Knoxville iu favor of the Carolina, Knoxville and Western, and Col. Charlton is an ardent and eloquent champion of the line. A Greenville, S. C., special of Aug. says: “About a week ago the Richmond and Danville railroad advanced rates on manufactured cotton goods to Eastern points, and at that, same tune raised freights on coal from the West. The cotton goods rate was changed from the sixth to the fifth class, nuking an advance of 14c. per 100, while the coal rate went up 00c. a ton. Both these advances fell heavily on the cot ton mills here. The animal freight bill of the Piedmont and Camperdown mills is over $50,000, and the advanced rate meant an increase of SB,OOO a year for the Piedmont, and #5,000 for Camper down. As soon as the new rate was announced Col. Hammett, the Presi dence of these two mills, at once began ship ping his goods to Charleston, and thence North by steamer. The State Railroad Commission protects rates to Charleston, and the steamer company gave him a cheap rate, so that the total was about the same as the old all-rail rate. This has gone on for a week. Yesterday Col. Hammett received a telegram from D. Cardwell, freight and passenger agent of the Richmond and Dan ville, announcing that the old rate would be resumed from and after to-day. Col. Ham mett is so well pleased with the water route thnt, in view of the reduction promised, he may continue to use it altogether. The re sult is a complete victory for Col. Hammett's mills.

Charleston Wins a Game from New Orleans In the Last Inningr. Nnw Orleans, Aug. 37.—Three thousand people saw a great game to-day? It was a battle of boxmen, as neither side male a costly error, although superior fielding by Glenn, Powell and Hines about saved the game for Cliarleston. Each pitcher struck out the side in one inning, and both did fine work. Widner, tho pitcher, is very regular, inita few bits at critical times, and the inabil ty of the locals to hit Hungrier, settled the con test. .Singles by Glenn, Hines and Powell in the third, and Glenn’s good running yielded the first run for Charleston. Not another run was made until the eighth inn ning, when New Orleans tied the score. Winner hit safe to centre, and scored on Powell’s single to right and Child’s throw to second. With two men on bases and one out Cartwright hit a fly to left, and Glenn made a double play by throwing Powell out at the plate. In the ninth inning Geiss hit the ball safe in front of the plate and reached sec ond on Fuller’s hit to Hines, although Hines claimed to have touched him, and scored on Wells’ single to left. New Orleans looked upon the game as won, but in the ninth, with one man out, Carl hit safe and scored on Corcoran’s two bagger to left. Williams’ single and Campaus’ ragged throw in let in the winning run. There will lie two games to-morrow, Smith and Aydelotte pitching in the morning and W idner and Hungler in the evening. Both teams leave to-mor row night for Charleston. Umpire Tom Barrett has resigned, and John Berkery, a veteran ball player, has been appointed. The innings were: Charleston 00 -1 00000 2 3 New Orleans 0000000 1 I—2 Batteries—Widner and Wells, Hungler and Childs. Base bits—New Orleans 8, Charleston 6. Stolen bases New Orleans 8. Charleston 1. Errors—New Orleans 4, Charleston 2, MANY RUNS AND HITS. One of the Poorest Games of the Season Played at Memphis. Memphis, Aug. 27.—Ester quest was de cidedly off in his delivery to-day and Stal lings’ back stop work was simply execrable. His throwing to second was so wide of the mark that bases were stolen by Memphis without the slightest risk. fisterquest’s ineffective delivery seemed to discourage those behind him and the fine fielding which lias heretofore characterized the Birming ham team was conspicuous by its alwence. Even the infallible Duffeeand the incompar able Burks made bad errors. Smith, of the locals, after pitching for four innings and having the game safe in hand, gave way to Keceius. He was hit freely, and all the runs scored by the visitors were made off his delivery, Duffee sending the ball over the extreme left field fence, inside the foul line, as long a hit as was ever seen on the grounds. The feature of the game was a magnificent catch by D. McKeough of a foul fly hack of third base, with one hand, after a long and desperate run, within two feet of the bleaching boards. The score by innings follows: Memphis 4 6 0 2 8 2 1 1 0—24 Birmingham 0 0 0 0 0 3 5 3 2—13 Batteries—Smith, Reccius and Crotty for Memphis, Ester-quest, Masran and Stallings for Birmingham.

Consumption, Wasting Diseases, And general debility. 1 loetors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hy pophosphites: the one supplying strength and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and acting ns n tonic to the digestive and entire system. But in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil witli Hypophosphitos the two are combined, and the effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no permanent benefit from other preparations have been cured by this. Scott's Emul sion is lierfectly palatable and is easily di gested by those who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil. Reduced Prices on White Shirts.
