GRifvIKE FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
The United States Consul to San Domingo
Preparing to Leave for His Post.
Washington, September 2?.—Archi
bald E. Grimke, of Dos ton. the new
United States Consul to San Domingo,
is now in this city, and he will present
himself at the state department during
the week to receive instructions pre
paratory to leaving for his post. Mr.
Grimke has already qualified at Doston,
and will leave this country in about
three weeks. He represents the Afro-
American race, lie has never taken
any active part in politics, hut has been
a practicing lawyer before the Doston
liar. He is a great admirer of Presi
dent Cleveland, and believes in tariff
reform. Mr. Cleveland appointed him
as consul to San Domingo during the
closing days of his former administra
tion, hnt the senate adjourned without
confirming the appointment, lie was
again named for the same consulate
and the senate confirmed the nomina
tion immediately. Consul Grimke is at
the residence of his brother, Dr. Fran
cis J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth
street Presbyterian church.
EXCITEMENT AND SUSPENSE.
The Union County, Ky., Tax Collector’s
Munitions Delayed.
Sturgis, Ky., September 27.—Couriers
are running hither and thither with
bills announcing a railroad tax meeting
in the city hall this afternoon. Colonel
N. G. Kelsey, ex-president of the Ohio
Valley railroad, will address the citi
zens. A reporter interviewed Deputy
United States Marshal W. C. Dyer, who
returned from Uniontown this morning.
He saw several of the men who are to
aid Dlackwell in the collection of the
tax. lie was not favorably impressed
with the personnel of the conunander-
in-chief’s assistants, most of them being
young fellows whose habits are said to
be careless. It is hinted on the streets
that traitors are in camp who have sold
out to the bondholders and are talking
compromise. Although their names
are prominent, they may suffer if it
should prove true. The citizens are
still in great suspense and excitement,
as they are not sure of the movements
of the collector, and consequently know
not when to expect him.

Kentuckians Against the Recent Raise of
Insurance Rates in That State.
Lexington, Ky.. September 27.—The
fire insurance combine which has in
creased the insurance rates on business
property in Kentucky and Tennessee
is meeting with opposition here from
the citizens and business men. About
fifty of the leading men in Lexington
met last night to protest against this
increase in the insurance rating in
Lexington.
Many millions of dollars were repre
sented, since some of the wealthiest
men in Kentucky were present, and the
protest certainly means .something not
to be made light of by the insurance
men. A set of resolutions were passed
protesting against the new rating and
the mayor called a meeting of the
property holders and business men for
today, September 27, to indorse the
resolutions and see further toward hav
ing the insurance rating reduced.

White, a former well known contractor
of Omaha, has solved a mistery by re
turning to this city after an absence of
four years, during which time he had
been searched for by detectives of this
and other cities. He had been given
up as dead by his friends and relatives.
White said he had no idea of leaving
when he started on his drive on the
evening of July 30. 1890. It suddenly
occurred so him to drive across the
country to Washington. This he did,
regardless of the fact that his many
big contracts in < )malia were going to
wreck in the meantime. lie lost by
this means $100,000. He says that he
went to Washington, and has just re
turned. His immense fortune is now
gone. lie is believed to be demented.

Atlanta, September 27.—William J.

charged, has been indicted for the
crime, the bill of indictment being for
murder in the first degree. The grand
jury returned the hill yesterday in
three hours after hearing the case. The
same witnesses testified as before the
coroner’s jury, and the decision was
reached immediately upon the close of
the testimony.
The detectives are still working upon
the clues which associate Myers’ name
with other crimes, but have made as
yet no really convincing discovery in
that particular.

SHOT AS A DEATH PENALTY.
SPORTING TREASURY CLERKS.
Tlie Storm Will Exceed In Violence the De
structive Cyclone of August, ’93.
Savannah, Ga., September 27.—Eve
rything now points to a storm equalling, 1
if it does not exceed, in violence the j
fearful destructive cyclone of August, 1
1893. At Tybee the wind ranges as
high as seventy-five miles an hour. At
low tide the water there is higher than
at the highest tide. The ocean is stead
ily encroaching on the island, and it is
thought that it will be completely sub
merged. Those on the island will have
to take refuge in the light-house and
Martello tower. The hotels and cot
tages appear to be doomed. The wind
in Savannah now runs as high as forty-
fiye miles, and is steadily increasing in
velocity. The outlook is very bad.
A washout on the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad, sixty miles south
of here, has caused a suspension of
travel on that road. No vessels have
left port in the last two days. The
shipping in the harbor has been tied
up and so far no damage has been re
ported to shipping interests,
THE STORM AT CHARLESTON.
TJiirty-I’ivc of Them Kcporteri its Attend

Washington. September 27.—Thirty-
five treasury clerks have been reported
to the secretary of the treasury by
name as having attended the horse
races at Alexander Island. Va., about
three miles from this city across the
Potomac river last Saturday. The
names of the clerks have been forward
ed to the head of each bureau or divi
sion and an explanation, it is said,
has been asked from the clerks. Wheth
er detectives have been employed for
the purpose of "spotting" treasury
clerks of a "sporty” inclination or
whether the information has been vol
unteered by some treasury employee or
official, intimate knowledge of the per
sonnel of the male clerks in the treas
ury lias been shown and it has created a
commotion at this time, especially as
many changes are being made to carry
into effect the reorganization that takes
place October 1st next.
A Choctaw Indian Calamity Arranges the
Preliminaries of Dis Execution.
Caddo, I. T., September 27.—Jim
Allen, a full-blooded Choctaw Indian,
about 24 years of age, was shot to death
as a penalty for murder yesterday at
the Pushmataha court grounds in Jack-
son. Allen walked with a steady step
from the jail to the court house, a dis
tance of fifty yards, unliandcuffed. He
knelt down by his coffin and offered tip a
prayer. He pulled off his coat and hat,
rolled open the bosom of his shirt, and
painted a small heart about the size of
a quarter of a doller over his own heart,
and took his seat on a lemon box. He
sat in that position just thirty-five min
utes, when the hour arrived. Deputy
Sheriff Bob Jackson shot him through
the heart. In eight minutes life was
extinct.

Impossible to Estimate as Yet the Damage
to the Exposed Water Front.
Charleston, S. C., September 27.—
The West Indies cyclone struck this
city yesterday and raged all day. The
maximum velocity of the wind up to
daybreak has been forty-eight miles an
hour, except at times, when it was as
high as fifty-five or sixty miles. As far
as is known but little damage has been
done to the shipping in port or the city-
proper. The storm tide was only three
and a half feet against twelve feet in
the August cyclone of ’93. The most
serious damage, however, is feared in
the rice fields and to the sea island cot
ton crop. It is impossible at this time
The Explanation for Changing Appoinatox
1’ostollico to the Name “Surrender.”
Washington, September 25.—There
has been considerable comment as to
the action of the postmaster-general in
changing the name of the postotfice at
Appomattox court house., Va.. to Sur
render. The change was made last
week, and every one who saw the sim
ple announcement wondered why the
change was made. The explanation is
that Virginia will still have a postoffice
.named Appomattox, though not at the
famous place where Grant and Lee inet.
This will hereafter be known as Sur
render. The reason for the postoffice
department’s action is this: The court
house at Appomattox Court House, Va.,
has been moved to the town of Nebras
ka, about three miles distant. Nebras
ka will hereafter be known as Appo
mattox, and its postoffiee was so named
by an order issued by the postmaster-
general Saturday. The department,
not wishing to have the two towns with
similar names, wrote to the postmaster
of Appomattox court house asking him
to suggest a new name for his postoffiee.
The matter was laid before the citizens
and the name Surrender was selected
and forwarded to the postmaster-gen
eral. He authorized the change, and it
was made.
MISSISSIPPI NOT ALONE.

Jackson, Miss., September 22.—Gov

the governor of Alabama one of the
twenty dollar special warrants issued
by that state in 1867. It is a much
closer resemblance to United States
currency than that issued by Mississip
pi. It is exactly the size of United
States currency and the color is pre
cisely the same as green-backs. One of
these bills was submitted to United
States Attorney General Stansbury who
in a long opinion said there was no vio
lation of law in the issue.

No Means at Hand to Enforce the Alcohol

Washington, September 27. — The
treasury officials, after having thor

of the new tariff bill, have about
reached the conclusion that they have
no means at hand to enforce it, and
that, therefore, the rebate clause must
remain inoperative until congress, at its
next session, either provides the appro

effect, or repeals it.
