Great Damage by the Storm on the North
Carolina Coast*
Norfolk, Va., August 22.—Tho signal ser
vice sea coast telegraph lino was repaired yes
terday, nnd information has been obtained
showing that the storm which prevailed along
the coast ou Saturday last was one of the most
destructive that has visited that section for
years.
At Kitty Hawk the forco of tho wind blew
away the apparatus for measuring the velocity
of the wind at tho signal station, and the ob
server reports tliat the fury of the storm was
almost indescribable. ITo estimates the ve
locity of the wind at his station at about one
hundred and twenty-five miles an hour, and
says the damage to ahipping in that vicinity
must bo unusually heavy. The telegraph line
south of Kitty Ifawlc is entirely wrecked.
Poles were tom out of the earth, broken into
matchwood, carried out to sea or blown no one
knows whither. Among the vessels known to
have been damaged by the storm are tha fol
lowing:
Tho American barkentine, Walters. Mas
sey, sprang a leak off Chicatnocomico, N. 0..
anchored in comparative shelter and signaled
to the signal station at that point for assis
tance. The Baker salvage company has been
notified and a steamer has been dispatched to
the relief of the vessel. The steamer Eagle, of
the North Carolina dispatch company, is re
ported ashore iu Cave 5«und, high and dry and
the tug, William F. Taylor, of Norfolk, and
tho steamer Annie, of the North Carolina dis
patch company, are reported ashore near
Cherry Point, Neuse river, eighteen mile
low Newborn, N. C. The Baker salvage
pony's steamer, Victoria J. Peed, was sighted
yesterday morning with a wrecking steamer in
tow, bound south, nnd about eight rail os south
of Kitty Hawk, N. C. The Peed has undoubt
edly met with and rendered tho necessary as
sistance to • the disabled barkentine by this
time. It is thought that other, and perhaps
more serious, shipping casualties will be ro-
K tried when telegraphic communications with
atteras have been restored.
The Rains Coma Too Late to Do Them Much
Good.
Chicago, August 22.—The following crop
summary will apear in this week's issue of the
Farmers' Review: Our reports do not Indi
cate any material change in the condition
of the com crops in the different
states os a result of the recent refreshing rains.
Corn on high and dry lands was too far gone to
bo recuperated by rains, but low-lying and late
planted fields have been somowhat holped.
These, however, aro not of sufficient acreage
to alTect to any appreciable degree the general
averngo of condition. Dakota alone reports
the condition of the crop above average.
The avorago yield of winter wheat in the
different *€# to* as shown hy threshing returns'
from our crop report, Is as follows: Twenty-
fivo Illinois eountics, 153 bushels, 14 Wiscon
sin counties, 142-5 bushels; J1 Ohio counties,'
13 3-11 bushels13 Missouri comities, 20 4-{L3'
bnshols; 9 Michigan counties, 10$ bushels; tf
Kentucky counties, 10 bushels; 15 Kansas
counties, 112-0 bushels: and 11 Indiana coun
ties, 14 1-5 bushels.
The average yiold of spring wheat in the dif
ferent states is ns follows: Fourteen counties in
Iowa, 12 bushels; fourteen counties in Dakota.
19bushels; olglit counties in Minnesota,UJ
bushels, and thirtoon counties in Nebraka
118-13 bushels. The average yiold of oats
in the different states as shown by threshing
returns from our.report is as follows: Twonty-
six Illinois counties, 32 bushels; nino counties
In Indiana, 48; nineteen qouutics in Iowa, 42
bushels; thirtoon counties in Dakota, 125 per
mt; ten counties in Minnesota. 79.5 per cent,
id thirteen counties in Nebraska 70 per cent.
The roccnt rains have much refreshed and
invigorated pastures and a fair supply of fall
seed is now anticipated. Potatoes generally
aro turning out a poor crop on account of
drouth, but lato varieties hove been liolpod by
tiio rains. Tho applo crop will bo generally

Judgo Potter Grants a Stay of Proceedings
in the Sharp Case.
Nrw York, August 25.—Judge Potter grant
ed a stay of proceedings in t ho Jacob Sharp
cose on tho ground that there is a reasonable
doubt that tno judgment reached in tho court
of oyer and terminer should stand, and ho or
ders a stay in tho execution of such judgment
until an appeal shall be decided by tho genoral
term. Tito stay is grunted for throe principal
reasons:
First, tho admission in Sharp's trial as ovi-
denco against himself of Sharp’s testimony be
fore the legislative investigation committee.
This is held to l>o in violation of tho principle
that no nnm shall bo compelled fo testify
against himself. This testimony was admitted
against the protent ol Sharp’s coitn.se).
Second, tho fact of the absence of persons
charged in the iudiotment with tho defendant;
with tiio crime of bribery and their sojonpiA.
in Cnnaja as.the cxcuso of their non-prod ac
tion as witnesses Against the defendant by thei
prosecution; and, third, tho opinion of tiio
supposition of the witness Miller os to tho mo
tive or put pone of DoLacy when ho handed
Miller fho 55,000.
Bourke Cockran this afternoon stated that
the case could not come up now until the gen
eral term meets noxt October. An aimlica-
tiou will at once be inode to bavo Mr. Sharp
released on bail by somo judgo of the supreme
court.
The news of the decision by Judge Potter
reached tho city about noon and created no
little oxcitcmcnt. A number of penplo Hocked
to thecour^ bouse at once to ascertain tho truth
of tho rcfiort. Nearly ail lending lights in tho
trial ure out of town. Judgo Jiarrott is at
Block island.
Wimt End, Long Branco, N. J., August
25.—District Attorney Martin, of New York,
who is at Scabright, said tonight that he bad
anticipated that a stay would lie granted in tho
Sharp case. Sovctal days ago ho applied to
Governor Kill asking him in caso a stay was
granted to convene an extraordinary session of
the general term, which would allow argumeuta
iu tho caso to l»o had at onco. If Sharp's law
yers ask tliat he bo admitted to bail, Mr. Maiv
tilt says he will demand that ball bo fixed at
one million dollars. _
Dr. Virchow’s Opinion of tho Growth In tha
Crown Prince's Throat.
Philadelphia, August 25.—Tho Medical
News of this week will publish Professor Vir
chow's paper on the case of tho crown prfnco
of Germany, reau before the Berlin medical
society, at its late meeting. The News supple
ments this technical document with an extract
in a nowsnaper?(English,) according to which
Virchow nos not discovered any appearances,
indicative of malignancy in specimens exam
ined, and from his knowledge of pathology ho
does not hesitate to pronounce the morbid
growth in the crown pnnee’s larynx, to be a
simple wart without any canccnra* tendency.
The fact of recurrence dots not militate
against this view and he expresses the opinion
that even-rccurronco of the growth can be
successfully removed as It presents itself until,
os in the history of similar cases, final eradi
cation is accomplished.
Youthful Murde res* Saved From the
Gallows.
Columbia, 8. C., August 20— [Special.J—
Axey Cherry, a little negro nirl of but eleven
years of age, was convicted dV tho recent terra
of the court in Barnwell county of the murder
of the iufant child of Mr. Robert West, a
prominent farmer, by filling Its mouth with
concentrated lye. The Jury, which found her
K ilty of murder, recommended her to mercy,
t site w as sentenced to be hanged September
20. Strong petitions have been sent Governor
Itichardsou fora commutation of sentence, and
he ha* been deluged with letters appealing for
mercy from all over tho union. The judgo
who pronounced sentence himself wrote: ’'She
is a little wretch of a viliian, but one so youug
ought not to l»e hanged.” Today Governor
Richardson decided to commute the sentence
to five years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Before receiving any petitions lie had set on foot
investigations of the case, and though the evi
dence proved her plainly guilty of the horrible
crime, and the solicitor stated that it was a
clear caso of cold-blooded, premeditated mur
der, tho gorerhor determined to exercise
executive clemency for the *<»Ie reason of the
tender years of the offender. Home of the
many latter* begging that mercy ba exercised
woro curiosities: the writers including several
cranks and two little girls, who said thoy wero
but one year older than tho. youthfnl fiend
whoso life they begged. Ono of these, of
Oneida, N. Y . naively said sho thought “ne
groes wero half-witted anyway and not ac
countable.” Tho other£writingfrom|Keokuk,
Iowa, says, “oven If sho had killed my littlo
brother, I would not want her to bo
bung. Oh, please don’t have her hung."
This case, from tho sox and extreme youth of
tho guilty party, has excited more widespread
interest than any happening in South Carolina
for years. _

Charlottetown, P. E. I., August 22.—Tho
Examiner prints tho following telegram from
Sours: Between sixty and sovputy ■nils of
American fishesmen arrived Friday night in
anticipation of the storm. The cruiser Vigt-
hint was among the lloet. About 800 men
came on shore, and began indulging in drink
ing at tiio hotels. The chief officer of the
Vigilant fell in with some of tho drinking par
ties and was drugged. Shortly after ho wa«
seen lying on a pile of rubbish behind
tho American Eagio. And whllo in this con
dition he was assaulted by American fisher
men, bis buttons and bands boing tom off.
Neither rank nor insigna of his position pro
tected the unfortunate young man from the
i eort and insults of tho rowdy mob. Collector
Toler wired Captain Gordon of the condition
of affairs, and Sunday morning the Aeadia
arrived on the scene and straighted out mat
ters, taking the Vigilant away and replacing
her by the eraser Critic. The unfortunato
young officer is very penitent, orying like a
child over his mishap.

N*w York, August 24.—The cloud which
has been hanging over the stock market for
somo days, nnd of Vhich tho boars hare been
making a good deal of capital, turned out to
day to be the embarrassment of Groveston &
Pell, stock brokers. The firm have been bor
rowing monov largely and have givon bonds of
the East and West railroad of Alabama as
security. These bonds have boon quoted
around 110 and last night closed at 101>f bid.
This turned out to bo simply fictitious and
today, after a loon which was called .on the
firm, and which they were unablo to take up,
collateral was ordered ,to be sold under the
rules of the stock exchange. No buyer could be
found for the bonds, although they were of*
forod down to 65 by the chairman.
At the offioo of the firm neither member
could bo found, and it was stated that they
would not return to tho offico till tomorrow.
George II. Poll is the prosident of the East

rienced a great deal of trouble In placing the
bonds.

The Buiclde of a Young School Teacher In
HtmwMri County,
Lumpkin, August 26.—{Special.]—'The town
was terribly shocked by the news that Homer
Pearson hail killed himself. He was teaching
school twelve.mlles from Lumnklu, near hU
father’s plantation. His family lives here,
and it appears that he sent his father werd last
Saturday that he was sick. Sir. Pearson did
did net go np until Tuesday aud found Homer
iu bed with a high fever. When supper was
announced, Mr. Pearson went out of the room
to the suppe r table, and Ilomcr got out of bed,
got bis gun. and, going out on the front porch,
shot him-elf through the head. Ik-nth era*
Instantaneous, as the whole top of his head
was blown off. The news was brought to
town during the night, and the family h ft lie-
fore dayligt for the name of the terrible mis
fortune that liad befallen Micm. The theory
of the cause of this rash act Is that the fever
being very high produced a temporary mental
until a fow weeks ago. During all these years
be has been mourned as dead.
He is married, is living in Kansas, and is tho
fathor of a number of children. He romem-
bors that he was in the army, but from the
battlo of Chickamauga |te the groat fire in
Chicago, all is a blank to him. He does not
know where he was or what ho did during all
that time. In the excitement of the fire he
partially regained his senses, but could not
locate his old home. He wont to Minnesota
and was marriod there, and went tlmnoe to
Kansas, where he took up a claim and is farm
ing for a living: and he remembers the death of
his mother, which took place when he was 13
years old: that his captain's name wss Upde-
crove, and that he was in a confederate prison.
The remainder of his early life is a blank.
But his comrades, many of whom live in Van
Wert, recognize him. The scar made by the
napeshot is ou his head. A scar on his right
leg, mado by a severe cut by an ox when ho
boy, Is another strong point in proving
his Identity. He went away a black haired
boy and returns a gray haired man, but his
fathor, who Is tottering under the weight of
nearly four score years, says it is Hugh Thomp
son, Ills long lost son.
Money was raised here and sent to Kttnsaa
to bear tho oxponso of Thompson’s trip to
this placo to attend a regimental reunion next
week, but before the remittance arrived his
Kansas noiglibors had donated to tho same
purpose, and by their generosity he is at his
old home, which bo loft during the war.

Schools and Churches,
Chicago, August 24.—Germans in Chicago
and throughout the northwest generally are
very indignant over tho alloged attitude of the
Irish clergy in regard to tho coming conven
tion of Gorman Catholics in Chicago. Inter
views with Irish-Ainerican priosts and bish
ops and extracts from semi-official church or-
B ins, in which tho opinion that the German
uguage should be prohibited in Catholic
churches and schools is expressed, have boon
reproduced hero and Imvo drawn out bitter
comments from tho Gorman newspapers. Tito
Illinois' Staats Zoitung has this to say on the
subject:
"f or many years Gemura-Americans belonging to
the Catholic church have had their oouierenccs and
conventions without its occurring to any ono to

Suddenly it dawns upon tho Irish to

Tho Staats Zoitung thon quotes (||fi
articlo published in the Catholic Advocate, or
Louisville, in which the German language is
compared to the grunts of swine. In conclu
sion tho paper says:

many voars and his efforts to breathe wero
dreadful to witness. A physician wax found on
tho train, but relief seemed imiraflihlo. Every-
