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.

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. _ F«i extern Frtal tirccrfs a Ffg Jambo ree on Prlnee Kdward's Island. 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. Groves ton A Fell Unable to Meet Their Paper. 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 and West railroad of Alabama, and sinoe he acquired control of the *nroperty it has boon oxtended and improved, but the ownors expe rienced a great deal of trouble In placing the bonds. The Work of Uniformity In Extraditing Criminals. New York, August 24.—In the interstate extradition conference today Judge Mont gomery, of Georgia, chairman of the oommlttco on law, brought in a report recommending oer« taih enactments as proper subjects for con gressional action, with a view to the attain ment of simplicity and uniformity in extradit ing criminals.

This recommendation was negatived, the conference passing a resolution that it would bo expediont to limit tho signification of con stitutional treason, felony or other crimes. Article second, recommending % specific limit to the time for a demand for extradition, except in tho crimes of murder and treason, was rejocted. as was article three, which roc- ommondod that an intention to evade punish ment must be proved before a demand for ox- tradition bo considered. Article 4 was also rojected. It provided tliat a fugitive bo arrested and held under bail on tho warrant of tho governor of the state, issued on an affidavit made boforea justice, the prisoner not to bo extradited until indioted fOR _.ot extra... m .

After discussion tho eleventh articlo of tho re port was adopted in the following form: llecomendcd, thar upontt.esunend?ror tho ac cused. he shall not be suhje ued to arrest during his forced stay, nor for rensonable time thereafter fur a prior offense committed in the demanding state. Tho committee on rules and procedure sub mitted a report which was adopted and referr ed back to the committee for tho purpose of supplotnontlng it by additional provision*. On tiio molioti of Mr. Boykin Wright of Georgia, this committee was requested to in- cori»orato tho results of it* deliberations into a series of enactments which will ba acted upon by the conference aud subsequently submitted -To congress. “ Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, at the conclusion of the meeting invited the delegates to attend tho centennial celebration of tho adoption of tho constitution in Philadelphia, on September 17th. New York, August 25.—At today’s session of the interstate extradition conteronco the committee or forms aud practice proMinted a code of rulea to he observed In oxtraditlng criminals. According to tills code, the prose cuting officer of the district shall make appli cation, and state that lie beltovos he has suf ficient evidence to convict tho alleged crim inal, and tliat his agent lin* no personal Inter est In tho arrest of the fugitive, that tho arrest is desired for no private purpose whatever.

If grand jury has found nil indictuont, the facts and circumstances of tho crime, as known, must he certified to before a magistrate. In the case of a convicted nrisonor, who escapes from jail, the Jailer or sheriff may make application. Tho rules were adopted. The question of extradition for minor offen ces was discussed at length and there was adopted a resolution deprecating such extradi tion except in special cases, and under aggra vating circumstances. On motion of Mr. Wright, of Georgia, it wo* decided that when tho conference adjourned it do bo meet in Washington, when congress wo* iu session. It wo* resolved to formulate the conclusion* of the convention to the»bill which, in due time, will l>o presented to the next congress, together with a memorial praying for IU pas sage, enumerating the reasons therefor.

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. They Insist on Using Tlielr Language In 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 onnplaiu tliat Gorman was their mother U Suddenly it dawns upon tho Irish to the object. These follows, who bjm out of America: whoso native tic, antfwto.as servants, have e iffuace of their oppressor*, those ... jvent German* sharing tho same faith ru them- selra*, tho use of their mother longue.'’ - if*} IJ: 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: If the coming convention does not bring out tho jntfmcnt of Germans on this subject In *7— — tnut witii the shnmelossnovs of tho Irish; .. tho Gorman CnthoHcs d > not take as firm a stand os tho Irish have taken, they- should wlthont delay, and as a badge of tbeir servitude to tho Irish, put a ato badges. Tho survivors were formed in line by Captain Mitqliell, marshal of the day, and tnnrched out to tho grove near tiio Methodist church, where a stand bad boon eroctod, and the exercises of the day held. Tiio meeting was formaly opened by prayor by Rev. II. Har- ling, private of company “K,” when an ap propriate address of welcomo was delivered by Rev. TV. L.
