Two immense meetings of credi tors were at once held, expressing unlim ited confidence in the bank managers. As a result, a committee was appointed to secure consent of depositors that as signees surrender the trust and that the bank be reopened. The liabilities were si ,1)00,000; assets, about $8.600,000. Ev ery depositor interested in tbe large line of liabilities has signed the agreement by which time is given to the bank to pay up its indebtedness and tbe assignees have tamed the bank, tissets, etc., over to the firm, and the bank door will be reopened at once, and business resumed. From South Carolina. Atlanta, Aug. 30.—The hurricane which was hooked for the south Atlan tic coast several days ago, appeared promptly on time, and, not since the summer of ’81, has such havoc been wrought. The story from Savannah is appalling. From Charleston, comes a tale of des olation that has seldom been approxima ted. Brunswick, the ill-fated “city by the sea" adds another chapter of suffering wrought by the elements, which has been heaped up< >n her in addition to the horrors through which she is passing from yellow fever. Augusta, away in the interior, sends accounts of a storm, than which nothing within the recollection of the oldest citi zens has been more terrible. Upward, through Florida the monster came, devastating a large territory of the peninsular state and destroying tele graphic facilities, thus cutting the coun try off from communication with the world abroad. Fearful in Savannah. Wheeling, Aug. 29.—The liabilities of the Buchanan River Lumber compa ny. failed, will reach *200,000, with as sets that will more than cover that amount. The creditors are principally banks that hold the company’s paper. The concern was one of the largest in the state, and employed 1,000 men. It is thought an arrangement can be made with the creditors to permit the works to resume soon. Lancaster, Kv., Aug. 29.—Frank Turner, the Garrard county outlaw, es caped from the jail during a visit of his wife to his cell. As Jailer Rothwell un bolted tlie door to let Mrs. Turner out the two brushed by him, Turner flying through all doors to the street, where Mrs. Turner had hitched her horse. Mounting the steed he sped out of town, and the devising wife walked home. Atlanta, Aug. 2G.—The paying teller of one of' the leading banks here, with gold, silver and currency piled up around him, says: “There are no hard times. It is all .talk." The clearing house cer tificates, for which the people here have been clamoring, are not to be seen at this bank, and checks are paid in cur rency. Let the cotton come along, and Atlanta will be ready to pay for it. The worst wreckage seems to have oc curred in, and around Savannah. The street cars were compelled to stop about 10 o’clock, and a little later the electric light wires went out. leaving the city in darkness, the telephones ceased to work, telegraph wires were blown down and all outside communication was cut off. The damage done was fearful, the < )cean Steamship and the Savannah, Florida and Western docks were sub merged; the Tybee railroad track was washed to pieces, and many buildings swept away on the island. The quarantine station, just comple ted. was swept away, and four barks were driven ashore during the gale. One negro was frilled in the city by pulling on a live electric wire, and many were drowned on the plantations along the' river. But the saddest death of all was that of A. G. Ulmer, cashier of the Central railroad bank, who had gone over to his farm on Hutchinson's island to pay off hands, and from the bruises on bis bead and body it is supposed he was blown against an outshed when he jumped from from Ms bam. Many others are missing, and the meas ure of fatalities cannot even be guessed until the wreck of the hurricane is cleared up. The loss of property amounts to a large sum. but cannot be estimated ns yet. thousands of dollars in buildings, railroad lines, telegraph, electric light, telephone and other public enterprises, besides the shipping and the business bouses and dwellings in the city. The rice crop is ruined in the path of the storm and other crops have suffered ter ribly. Six vessels, names unknown, were wrecked outside the harbor. The fol lowing were wrecked in the river: Bark Harold, bark Linden, bark Elma, bark Mexico, bark Royal, bark Andacia, schooner Leila, steamboat Abbeville and an oyster boat. On Tybee Island. The Hotel Tybee is considerably dam aged in front. Her verandas are gone, and so are lier bathhouses. The Knights of Pythias clubhouse was washed away. Two of the cottages of the Cottage Club are gone. The railroad pavilion is all right, and so is Captain Henry Blun’s house. The Naylor house is damaged slightly. The Butler house is gone. Mr. Starr's house was washed into the woods. The Ranche and Rambler clubhouses were wrecked. The railroad track is cleaned out. Henry Green’s house was burned. George Bossell’s cottage was swept out to sea. The north end is practically cleaned out. The water swept with tremendous force over this part of the island,railroad tracks being carried from 200 to 500 feet. On the south end, the Chathams’ club bouse is badly damaged. The pavilions on the beach are gone; so is the switch back. Havoc in South Carolina. A special from Columbia says: All South Carolina was in the very teeth of the storm. The state weather observer says that nearly the entire early rice crop has been destroyed and that cotton has been injured from 25 to 30 per cent. The crops in this section are in a distressing condition. Corn and peas are ruined. Pasture fences have been blown away and the cattle are scattered everywhere. Bams and cribs have been blown down, leaving the forage exposed. One Death at Charleston. At Charleston the storm was terrible. Fortunately the people had timely warn ing, and there were few large vessels in the harbor, the small craft getting under comparative shelter before the storm burst. Tlie velocity of the wind was upwards of 60 miles an hour, and a great deal of damage was done to property, estimated at more than *1,000,000. Oiilj- one life was lost as so far report ed, and that was a negro woman: but from Ten Mile House to the battery the storm track is a waste. Charleston was completely cut off from outside communication. Damage at Washington. Washington, Aug. 30.—The storm did immense damage to the shade tree a in Washington, tearing them up by the roots or dismembering them in every di rection. The electric light and telephone ser vice in Alexandria and Georgetown is crippled, and in both these suburbs, as well as in the city proper, great uneasi ness is felt by the police and lire depart ment. Telegraphic communication with the west was entirely broken off about 7:30 p. m.. and with the east shortly before midnight. In the early morning partial Milan, Mo., Aug. 29.—Two villains attempted to chloroform Mrs. L. L. Orear and Miss Mollie Graham of this city. They were sleeping in Mrs. Orear’s room over a dry goods store. The win dows were raised, which gave a slight draft through the house, and no doubt saved their lives. The burglars made their escape for the present, but it is be lieved they will he caught. Austin, Aug. 29.—Cotton planters tell a doleful tale about tbe condition of cot ton, which is suffering for rain, and they assert that they will not make more than a bale to six acres. Buyers are prompt ly paying for all offered, the ruling price being 6 1-2 cents for middling. Many farmers refuse to take this, and haul their cotton home to hold for higher prices. Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 30—-There are no new or suspicious cases of yellow fever. The board of health issued a bul letin at noon warning people not to be lieve rumors on the streets. Mayor Lamb issued a poclamation imposing a fine and imprisonment on people circulating false reports, and also ordering all loafiing ne groes off the streets under penalty of ar rest. Raleigh, Aug. 29.—In Orange county’ Umstead Jones and Robert Morrow were walking together. Jones seized a pick ax and with one blow split Morrow’s skull from the forehead to the nape of the neck. Morrow fell like slaughter ed steer. A crowd made a rush at Jones, but with the ax he defied them and ffed. He was captured later at Durham. Belton, Mo., Aug. 29.—Alex. Mc Pherson and his son Frank and two of Albert .McPherson’s daughters, living near Martin City, have eloped. The men are uncle and cousin to the partners of their flight.

SK'-WINE OF CARDUi, a Tonic for Women, THE WILSON BILL. Congress Has Repealed the Purchasing Clause of the Sherman Hill. Washington, Aug. 28.—The senate will now be the cynosure of all eyes for a time, and especially those who have been watching the trend of the silver ag itation in congress. Since the decisive vote of the house on the repeal of the Sherman silver pur chase act, and the rejection of the many loinage amendments which were offered Ihe senate Mull be expected to proceed at once to the consideration of the repeal ! bill, which has just passed the house. The Great Battle. The vote began upon the reading of the bill by Mr. Wilson for the repeal of the Sherman bill, which was followed by an amendment offered by Mr. Bland for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, and it was defeated by a votS of yeas, 124; nays, 226, amid applause from the anti-silver men, who received one more majority than they expected. This vote was considered a decisive blow, and interest among the friends of free coinage began to wane after the an nouncement of the result. Some Comfort for Silver Men. The vote that gave the silver men the greatest comfort was that on the re-en actment of the Bland-Allison act, and on this amendment they succeeded in re ducing the majority against them to the lowest figure of the day—77, the vote standing, yeas, 136; nays, 213. The story pf the day’s voting is told in the shortest and most instructive man ner in the following summary: Sixteen to one, yeas. 124; nays, 220; majority, 102. Seventeen to one, yeas, 100; nays, 240; majority, 140. Eighteen to one, yeas, 103; nays, 239; majority, 136. Nineteen to one, yeas, 104; nays, 238; majority, 134. Twenty to one, yeas, 121; nays, 222; majority, 101. The Wilson Bill Then Passed. On the Bland-Allison act the final vote was: Yeas. 136; nays, 213; major ity. 77. On the final passage of the Wilson bill the vote stood: Yeas 240; nays, 110; majority, 430. Bow the South Voted.

Henderson, of North Carolina; Hooker, of Mississippi: Kilgore, Living ston, of Georgia; Maddox Moses, Tate and Wheeler. Tin- Bill Before the Senate. Washington, Aug. 29.—The senate committee on finance decided to report back to tlie senate the Wilson repeal bill with the recommendation that the Voor- hees bill, already on the senate calendar, he substituted for it. The committee also resolved to set aside tlie national bank circulation bill, which is now unfinished business in the senate, in favor of the Voorhees bill and the latter measure, as rapidly as the tem per of the senate will permit it. The difference between the house bill and the Voorhees bill is found in the at tachment to the latter of a paragraph declaring that it is the policy of the United States to use both gold and silver as money metals and to preserve the parity. The program of the committee as far as it contemplates the setting aside of the national bank bill can only be car ried out through the aid of the majority in the senate, for the national bank bill cannot be withdrawn or set aside save through a majority vote in favor of the consideration of the repeal bill. The silver men in the senate profess to be indifferent as to which bill is consid ered in the senate, holding that the bank bill is almost as objectionable as the re peal bill. But there are indications that the program will meet with prolonged resistance nevertheless, and the silver men say they will fight repeal at every step. Chairman Voorhees reported the Voor hees bill (570) to the senate as a substi tute for the house bill, at 12:15, and gave notice that lie would call it up immedi ately. Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, reported back to the house the bill repealing a part of the Sherman act with an amendment in the nature of the substitute. Ho asked that tlie bill be placed on the calendar and gave no tice that he should ask the senate to take it up immediately after the morning bus iness from tills time on until final action is taken. When be called it up, Mr. Teller ob jected to its immediate consideration, and it went over for a day. Stewart’s resolution inquiring into the condition of the treasury, is now under consideration. In the House. After a little routine business, Dir. Catchings called up the report of the committee on rules, reporting rules to govern the house of the Fifty-third con gress. The committee on ways and means will proceed at once with the preparation of a general tariff bill, and will give hear ings in the course thereof to persons and parties interested. Chairman Wilson has announced the following sub-committees: On Customs—Wilson, Whiting, Breck inridge, Reed and Burrows. On the Administration of the Customs Laws—Turner, Stevens, Tarsney, Payne and Gear. On Internal Revenue — McMillin, Montgomery, Bynum, Hopkins and Payne. On the Public Debt—Bryan, McMil lin, Whiting, Burrows and Dalzell. On Reciprocity and Commercial Treat ies—Cockran, Bynum, Torney, Gear and Dalzell. Hatl You Thought of This? New York, Aug. 28.—The Advertiser says: Flour tliis year is cheaper than in any year since tbe war, but the loaf of bread with flour at $4.15 a barrel is al most as dear as when flour sold at *21 a barrel.

Robert Hardwick, who was “ under trial for bastardy, called to Ave- ’ ritt across the street and words were passed, when Hardwick informed the at- j; torney that he intended to kill him. ^ Averitt ran his hand in his pocket and " as he was in the act of pulling his pistol, ■Hardwick fired a charge of buckshot into the young man’s breast. The shot 3 struck Averitt a little to the right of the breastplate and entered his chest, tearing his heart and lungs to pieces, i In falling, Averitt reeled and landed - arthe feet of his friend, Asa Pettitt, 3 with whom he was walking. Pettitt 3 ran into a store near by, and. securing a Winchester, fired twice at the slayer of i his friend.

Griffin, Ga., Aug. 28.—On being pe titioned by the business men of the city 1 the officers of the different banks met to . consider the matter of issuing clearing house certificates.

Blount, late special- commissioner and now United States minister to Aawaii, 1 passed through Atlanta for Macon, his ; home, on the Central road at 8 o’clock. Mr. Blount’s live months residence in foreign land has changed him little. The few friends who learned of his presence in the city and greeted him while here, found him the same calm, deliberate, quiet-speaking man he has always been. He was looking well, and declared that the climate of the Sandwich Islands had agreed with him, not to such an extent, however, as to make him long for a life time residence there. New Orleans, Aug. 26.—The Clear ing House associate >11 has adopted the following as ,a remedy for the money stringency: To issue certificates of de posit to persons having money on de posit, payable to themselves or hearer in sums of $5, $10, $20 or more, and make the certificates payable through the clear ing house.

The cer tificates will be just as good as money, and can be as well circulated.

HE SHARED THE SEAT. A Fellow Who Was Selfish Taught a Little JLesson. Lawrenceburg, Ind., Aug. 29.—An amusing occurrence took place on a crowded car on the Big Four road com ing in from Indianapolis. At a way station a number of passen gers entered the already crowded car, and most of the new comers remained standing up in the aisle, among them several tired appearing ladies. Near the middle of the car was a bur ly specimen of the two-legged hog in a seat by himself, with his valise by his side. Seeing that he failed to offer the seat one of the ladies, who was eyeing it covetously, a gentleman who was stand ing up asked tlie fellow to put the va- lise on the floor and let the lady have the seat. The selfish creature refused, and the gentleman making the request, although scarcely half the size of the occupant of the seat, deliberately lifted the valise from the cushion and placed it on the floor. The surly owner made such threatening demonstrations that the lady declined to take the vacant seat by him. “Well, then,” said the little fellow, “I will occupy it.’’ and he sat down by the side of the thoroughly angered boor as calmly as if lie was nestling next to his sweetheart. The big fellow began to crowd the small man against the end of the seat, when suddenly the latter pulled a dangerous looking dirk from his clothes, and pointing the long, keen blade against the bloated abdomen of liis corpulent companion, coolly said: “I am from the country and a scien tific hogstieker, and if yon make another move I will run tliis into you up to the liilt.” The burly coward seemed to shrivel up to less than one third liis for mer size, in the effort to get away from the point of that gleaming knife, while quaking with fear and paling to the shade of a corpse. As soon as liis fright would permit him to speak he said in a tone of abject submission, “Please let me go out. I will go into the other car, and you can have all of the seat.” And he moved with celerity.” A Leader.

The President Says “You Shan’t,” and Eckels Says “I Will,” Take Charge. Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 30.—President M. M. Taylor, of the Washington Na tional hank, which went into liquidation July 27, has refused to allow Comptroll er Eckels' examiner to take possession, and has secured from the United States district court an order requiring the comptroller to show cause why a tem porary restraining order should not be issued. Although a Democrat himself, Tajlor declares that all that is desired is to fur nish a fat job for some Democratic re ceiver for his hank. Comptroller Eck els' examiner and deputy marshal tried to oust Taylor forcibly, and Taylor in turn tried to oust the marshal. Neither succeeded, although the marshal re mains in the bank. If any attempt is made to open the safe Taylor will charge Comptroller Eckels with robbery. Answer This Question.

New York, Aug. 29.—The Times, in its financial article Sunday, has the fol lowing: The total imports of gold for the six weeks ending Friday were over $34,600,- 000. The Campania brought several millions more and there are some addi tional millions in transit now. Our to tal imports for the year so far recorded aggregate over $46,000,000 while the ex ports for the same perion were $68,000,- 000. . The interesting feature of the movement is the suddenness with which the outward stream was arrested and then turned back. One cause of this was that our interna tional trade this year has been done more on a cash anti less on a credit basis than probably has ever before been known. The methods in use before the Baring crash, which was felt with special sever ity in the foreign exchange markets, had been to spread the actual movement of gold over longer periods by the use of credits, and also to minimize the amounts transferred. Tliis year international credits have shrunk severely; cash was called for and went. As soon as the bal ance changed cash has come back more rapidly than it went out. Posted in the Wrong Flace.
