extinguished the matches.
AUGUSTA, GA., FLOODED.
The banks of the canal in Augusta,
Ga., gave way ou Monday, and the great
body of water caused by the floods of
two weeks, surged upon the city, and the
greatest flood since 1840 began. The
factory district was first submerged. On
the waters crept until they began to pour
into Broad street, and thence through the
intersecting streets to Greene, dhe tele
graph office was invaded until the floor
was covered. Then the operators pulled
off shoes and stockings, and rolling up
their pantaloons, continued to wire the
message of disaster abroad, as the rising
water marked the increasing inches on
their legs. When the chair seats were
reached the operators stood up at theii
desks and bravely kept up the work of
communication with the outside world.
The waters reached their greatest triumph
when, turning the highest grade of
Broad street, they ran onward in a con
tinuous stream, presenting the novel
spectacle of four miles of boating on a
public street. Hurriedly the merchants
removed their goods from shelf to shelf
as the water threatened the last resort,
and then stood upon the counters to
watch the seething flood. Second stories
were eagerly sought by the affrighted
people. When the water began to ap
proach from the factory side it lifted the
small houses as if they were but toy
boxes and moved them around in wild
confusion. By 6 o’clock at night the
waters had reached 24 feet, and covered
the northwestern portion of the city
contiguous to the river bank, and tbe
southeastern portions below the ceme
tery. the two lowest parts of the city.
By 7 o’clock, thirty-four feet seven
inches was reached, and the water was
running across Broad street to Greene
from the river in swelling torrents. By
water stood three inches deep in
the office of the Planter’s hotel, and was
creeping down Broad street to Campbell.
At dark the waters had reached thirty
seven feet, seven inches, the highest
water known in Augusta since the freshet
of 1840. The water has risen more rap
idly than at any previous freshet, and in
the low portion of the city, people wl o
went to sleep thinking the waters reced
ing, awoke to find themselves completely
surrounded, and all egress cut off. Many
occupviug one-story houses even removed
to two-story buildings where they could
be above the tide. The heavy tones of
the alarm bells, at ten o’clock, announced
to the people that the point of greatest

Frank Barker, a colored laborer re
cently from Birmingham, was knocked
off a freight car on Thursday by tele
phone wires in Huntsville and was run
over by the dummy cars and killed. He
was standing up and had
about the danger. Had he been sitting
down he would have been in no danger.
Conductor 1L N. West, of the Georgia
Pacific railroad, was shot and fatally
wounded by Conductor W. D. Moore, of
the same road. The shooting occurred
at Sardis, a small station 70 miles from
Birmingham. Moore was in charge of
the west bound freight train, and West
in charge of an east bound freight. They
met at Sardis, got into a quarrel about
whose train should take the siding. Both
men drew their pistols about the same
time and fired several shots. Moore es
caped unhurt. Two shots took effect in
West’s body.
Several days ago three horses were
placed in a car on the Georgia Pacific
road at Birmingham for shipment to At
lanta, Ga. The car was seated on the
outdde in the usual style, biix when the
train reached Henry Ellen, fifteen miles
out, the conductor discovered that the
car door was open and one of the horses
missing. The officials of the road have
had a thorough search made, but so far
they have found no trace of the horse.
The train made no stops except at cross
ings between Birmingham and Henry
Ellen, and the disappearance of the horse
is a mystery.

The vault iu the county clerk’s office,
at Little Rock, was broken open on
Thursday night and poll books showing
the returns of the election in nine town

vault was gained by chiseling and prying
open with a crowbar the iron door of
the vault herctofor*! considered secure.
Other returns have been removed to one
of the banks, to guard against further
depredations. Fear of detection in
“doctoring” the returns, caused the
robbery.

The disaster to the rice crop of last
year will be repeated. The rise in the
Savannah river brings partial ruin on tbe
rice planters. The freshet will be worse
this year than last. In 1887 the loss
reached a quarter of a million dollars. It.
is stated by competent factors that so far
only about l-100th of the rice crop has
been harvested. The planters along the
rivei have about 4,000 acres in rice, and
the yield would have been, under favor
able circumstances, about 150.000 bush
els. If the present fair weather continues
during the remainder of the week; over
one-half of the crop may be saved.

At Kingston, a meeting of members of
the Lenoir county Farmers’ Alliance was
held on Thursday. slt represents nine
hundred farmers. A resolution was
adopted indorsing the action of the
state alliance in regard to the cotton
bagging trust, and instructing tßeir
agent to order at once six thousand yards
of burlaps. They are also urged to stand
by the action of the alliance in the fight
against the jute trust.
William G. Upchurch, president of the
State Agricultural Society, says that
rain is rottiug the cotton. It is such a
long spell of weather that the damage
must be extensive. Developments of
the new young belt is entirely stopped,
■ nd the effect of the rain is the shedding
uf both bolls and squares. Another re
suit will be that much cotton will be
stained. Bolls just opening wili, of
course, all be affected in this way. Mr.
Upchurch says the damage to the fodder
crop will be heavy and widespread. All
fodder not in stacks is ruine4- Corn
will also be hurt. Seven days without
sunshine will test any crop severely,
particularly at this season.

An experiment was made at Charles
ton, on Thursday, with the new pine
straw bagging which is offered as a sub
stitute for jute bagging for cotton bales.
The pine straw T material seems to have
stood the test of compressing, and the
experiment was made to test its inflam
mability. A piece of the pine straw
cloth and one of the jute were fired sim
ultaneously'. The jute was extinguished
in two shrouds, while the pine straw
burned and smouldered some fifteen or
twenty seconds before it could be extin
guished. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, attention has been directed to the
pine straw industry and the plants for
several manufactories have already been
offered in different portions of tbe state.
At present there is but one known fac
tory engaged in this work. It is situated
near Wilmington, N. C., and has here
tofore been manufacturing an article of
matting which is claimed to be valuable
in cases of tubercolosis owing to th£ odor
of the pine leaves.

The bagging trust at St. Louis has ad

quarter of a cent per pound, making the
price range from 11J to 13£. It is asserted
that a still further advance is to be made
soon.

A flood in New River carried away the

THE COTTON CROP.
The report of the Department of Ag
riculture at Washington, D. C., makes
the average condition of cotton 83.8, a
decline of three and a half points since
the last report. The general average is
slightly higher than in 1887 and 1886,
when it stood at 82.8 and 82.1 respect
ively. The decline, while slight, has
been general throughout the belt, except
in Norih Carolina and Tennessee, where
more seasonable weather has resulted in
a slightly improved condition. Local
damage has resulted iu the Carolinas
from both drouth and excess of moisture,
the rainfall during the month being un
evenly distributed. Rust is general
throughout Georgia, and with the drouth
and shedding of bolls has seriously re
duced the condition. Alabama has suf
fered from heat and drouth and in some
sections the month closes with appre
hensions of damage from excessive and
continuous rainfall. A decline in Mis
sissippi and Louisiana is the result of a
marked excess of moisture during the
last two weeks of August. The severe
storm which swept over these states on
the 19th and 20th prostrated the plants,
and continuous rains have beaten out
the bolls and caused some rotting. The
crop in Texas was beginning to suffer
for moisture when the rains of the latter
part of the month came, seasonable over
the greater part of the state, breaking
the threatened drouth and arresting the
decline in the condition which had sei
in. In Arkansas the average has been
lowered by locally unfavorable seasons,
drouth in 3ome sections and excessive
moisture, especially toward the close of
the month, in others, causing a reduc
tion. The month was favorable in Tennes
see; seasons good, aud but little com
plaint of rust. State averages of condi
tion are: Virginia 84, North Carolina
84, South Carolina 83, Georgia 85, Flor
ida 90, Alabama 87, Mississippi 88, Lou
isiana 79, Texas 78, Arkansas 87, Ten
nessee 95. The crop is generally
somewhat late and picking delayed by
unfavorable weather. Caterpillars and
boll worms are frequently mentioned,
and doing damage where not vigorously
fought. The first is found most fre
quently in Georgia, Alabama and Louisi
ana, while the latter is noted chiefly in
Texas. It will of course, be understood

MANY NEW CASES DEVELOPING
IN POOR JACKSONVILLE.
A GALE COOLS THE ATMOSPHERE —DIF-
FERENCE OF OPINION AMONG EXPERTS.
THE QUESTION OF REFUGEEIXG.
FOi three days, the new cases in Jack
sonville, Fla., were reported a- follows:
Friday, 77; Saturday, 44; Su (day, 49,
and about 20 deaths.
On Sunday the wind blew a gale for
several hour*, and the weather was p si
: ively cold. 1 here seems to be uo settler
line of action among those in charge o!
all tirs, and the opinions of doctors and
expert nurses differ widely. For in
stance: A newspaper correspondent ask
ed a leading practitioner if the sun com
ing out bright and hot after a heavy
rain and gale would tend to develop new
cases, and his reply was: “Yes, we may
expect a big crop as soon as the next
warm day comes.” Another physician,
isked the same question, answered:
“No, this rain and cold wind has cleared
and changed the atmosphere. This is
favorable to both the sick and the well.’
Doctors are working heroically and
self-sacrificing with the sick, and the
wonder is that more of them have not
already fallen victims to the disease.
Dr. W. N. Lafard died Sunday, and
several drug clerks are reported as sick,
and some with symptoms of yellow fever,
but more from overwork and loss of sleep.
While up to the present time all of the
drugstores in the city have kept open
and have served the public well, it be
gins to look as if the establishment of a
government dispensary would ere long
be indispensable. The question of de
population is far from a settlement; in
fact, it grows more complicated daily.
It is a popular notion that the reason for
the colored people’s desire to remain, is
the fact that they w ill be maintained at
the public expense. This is to a large
degree erroneous. The colored people
of Jacksonville are for the most part a
hard-working, thrifty, independent class.
Many of them own little lots of land and
frame houses, and naturally tbe idea of
leaving their possessions behind in care
of uo one, strikes them unfavorably.
There are perhaps one thousand colored
1 ay men in Jacksonville, whose chief in
come is carting moichandlse. All traffic
and business is stopped; these men find
themselves with mules on their hands to
keep as well as families to provide for,
and they naturally ask: “Shall we
leave our animals to die, our homes to be
pillaged, and take up our residence at a
distance, where the chances of earning a
living among strung iris perhaps no bet
ter than here at present* ’ It is a rank
injustice to charge these colored people
witn selfishness. Fourteen nurses came
from New Orleans, and some of them
struck for $4 a day before they left the
depot; they had been engaged for $3 a
day and were promptly discharged.
The following telegram was sent to
Washington on Saturday: “To Surgeon-
General Hamilton, Washington: Your
explanation of the stopping of the train
at Live Oak and returned to Jackson
ville because the authorities of Tennes
see refused admittance to refugees from
this city into tk| state is satisfactory.
Our people, no*<nowing the reason that
existed for such action, naturally blamed
you. This association is always desirous
to be ju*t, and will co-operate with you
in such reasonable regulation as may be
considered necessary to protect the pub
lic health and conform to regulations
governing transportation in force by the
health authorities of other states. We
are aware that state laws govern, and
that we cannot send refugees to points in
states that will not receive them and
have been communicating with authori
ties both local and state, of North Caro
lina, and have just received information
that Hendersonville can take 500, Saluda,
Hickory and other p.inis, wili take
smaller numbers. Impossible to state
how many can go to Hendersonville or
other points around there, but think if
two days’ notice were given, that a special
train for refugees would leave here for
Hendersonville, that at least two hundred
would go. Have just received your tel
egram of this morning that special- will
be provided fer Hendersonville. Please
allow two days’ notice. Hope you can
make arrangements with Tennessee board
of health. Slay want togo in that dinc
tion. Pleased to hear improvements to
be made at Camp Perry and that you
will make your headquarters there. We
desire to work in harmony with you.
(signed) P. McQuaid, Acting Presi
dent.” The following was set to
Surgeon-Gen. Hamilton, at Washington:
“At the request of citizens and physi-
I desire a physician of experience
in yellow fever to visit and describe the
growth of the epidemic at this place.
Citizens are demoralized. (Signed) D.
J. Water, and Mayor, and President
Board of Ileal h, McOlcnny, Fla.” Tbe
surgeon general immediately telegraphed
Dr. Pusy, at Waycross, to go to McClen
ny and investigate.
SOON SETTLED.
The colored longshoremen at Fernan
dina, Fla., who were loading lumber
struck a few days ago, about 500 in num
ber, for an increase in wages from $1.25
to *2.50 per day, thinking that the quar
antine would prevent the getting of labor
from abroad. The employers stood firm
and organized a protective association.
Nearly 100 laborers were brought in
from the country, but were driven from
their work by the strikers. A mob of
nearly 400 men threatened a serious riot.

CONK It KS.SION AI..
During the progress of a desultory po
litical debate with which the Senate
opened on Monday, the conference re
port on the fortificatiens bill was pre
sented and agreed to. Mr. Morgan in
troduced a bill appropriating $279,619
to be paid to tbe Chinese minister at
Washington as a full indemnity for all
losses and injuries sustained by Chinese
subjects, who have been, “iu the remote
and unsettled regions of the United
States, the victims of injuries iu their
persons and property at the hands of
lawless men,” and proceeded to address
the Senate in explanation and advocacy
of it. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, inter
rupted Mr. Morgan with a question which
brought about a heated and unparlia
mentary personal expressions from both,
which have, upon reflection and upon
counsel of mutual friends, been struck
from the Congressional Record. At the
close of Mr. Morgan’s speech, his bill
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations In the House, Mr. Sayers,
of Texas, presented the conference re
port on the fortifications appropriation bill
and it was adopted. Under the call of
States, the following bills were intro
duced, and referred: By Mr. Henderson,
of North Carolina, to check and nullify
the baneful operation of trusts. By Mr.
MoClainmy, of North Carolina, to pro
vide for an inland waterway between
New York and Florida. By Mr. Cram,
of Texas, to exempt cotton bagging from
payment of duty.
GOSSIP.
President Cleveland has sent a letter to
the Democratic National Executive Com
mittee formally accepting the nomina
tion for the Presidency. On the subject
of “trusts” he says: “Judged by Dem
ocratic principles the interests of the
people are betrayed when unnecessary
taxation, trusts and combitiaiions are
permitted and fostered which, while uu
duly enriching the few that combine,
rob the body of our citizens by depriving
them, as purchasers, of > he benefits of
nan™|ui competition.”
The army bill, as finally agreed upon
by the conference and approved by both
Houses of Congress, carries an appro
priation of $24,471,300. The fnrtilica
tio’jSfcbill, also disposed of by Congress
on Monday, appropriates $397,200. These
bills were interdependent in a measure,
yet provisions for the same purpose hav
ing been inserted by the Senate in both
bills, with a view to securing the appro
priation in one of them, if the House
should disallow- it in the other. The
chief item so duplicated was that known
as the Hawley amendment, which appro
priated more than six millions for ord
nance. The substance of this amend
ment remains as a part of the fortifica
tions bill. Aside from regular provis
ions of army and fortification bills, these
measures appropriate as follows: For
manufacture of cannon and carriages,
$200,000; for testing pneumatic guns,
shells, etc., $100,000; for gun factory at
Waterlietarsenal, $700,000; for the pur
chase of rough-bored steels, $1,500,900;
for sub marine mines and sub-marine
controllable torpedoe®, $200,000; rilled
mortars, $250,000; for purchase and test
of ordnance by ordnance board, $500,-
000.
WILL TEST IT.
The prospects of the exclusion hill be
coming a law is causing great excitement
among the Chinese in San Francisco,
Cal., particularly among the 5,000 or
0,000 “prior residents” who are roaming
the streets pendhig their examination in
the federal com " as to their right to re
main there. The “prior residents” have
not been legally landed, yet though tlu-y
are at present enjoying the samefreedom
of the country that any native born
American does. Should tl e exclusion
bill become an absolute law, however,
this great army will have to be gatlieied
up, if possible, and returned to Chino,
or else forfeit their bail money. Should
the Chinese refuse to give thein-elve up,
thcie will Ik* a very heavy loss t* the
bondsmen; that is, if the bondsmen ran
be found. It is understood that as soon
as tbe announcement of the exelu'h n
bill’s fihal adoption is made, the Chinese
will at once lest its constitutionality be
fore the United States Supreme Coert.
In the meantime, the Chinese “prior
residents” and those who purchased r< -
turn certificates in China are being
dumped off the fa®t arriving steamer- i y
