Thunderbolt and oth er places of lesser note. T.he crowds at the resorts would undoubtedly hive been larger hut for the fear that the rain, which poured down so heavily during tha early morning hours, would resume ope rations again The threatening ap;earance of ihr wantr.er caus-d the early trains for Tybee to go down half loaded, hut this was made up for later in the day. the 2 oVlntk train carrying a very Ivrge crowd. Many people, accustom'd to the regular schedule of the 3:35 train, which haw been off. calculated u|>on this train and so got taft. In the city the rallrmtd and machine shops and factories of every class shut down for the day. giving their employaa the whole day. The commercial people for the most pan gave a half holiday, though In the naval stores ami some oth er leading lines the day was hardly ob served. owing to the press of business at this season and the further fact of Ms being near the first of the month. The office* at the City Kxchmnge and Court House were close*!. So were the hanks, and the Cotton and Hoard of Trade also ceased operations for the day.
