indebtedness and the assignees have
turned the bank, assets, etc., over to
tlie firm, and the bank ddor was re

close attention by well-filled and
crowded galleries. Ho explained his
position law not by stating tho frienU tljat but tho tho Sherman insidi
was
ous foe of bimetallism.
Twentieth Day. —In the senate,
Wednesday, after thoroutine morning
business the bill fot tho repeal of the
Sherman act was talon up, and Mr.
Sherman proceeded to address tho
senate. He said that if tho repeal of
the purchasing clausd of the act of Ju
ly, 1890, were the only reason for the
extraordinary session it would seem
to him insufficient. It was, how
ever, justified by the existing
financial stringency. On one thing,
ho said, congress and tlie
people were agreed, and that was that
both gold and silver should bo contin
ued in use as money. Monometallism,
pure and simple, had never gained a
foothold in the Uni tec States. If tho
senators wanted cheap money nnd an
advance in prices tho free coinage of
silver was tho way to do it, but they
should not credit bimetallism.
Twenty-First Day.— After some un
important proceedings in the senate
Thursday Mr. Cockrell introduced a
concurrent resolution directed the sec
retary of the treasury to issue
certificates, not to exceed 20
per cent of the amount of gold
coin and bullion in the treasury and
to use and expend the same in payment

A special of Thursday night from
Beaufort, H. C., is to the effect that
over three hundred and ninety dead
bodies have been found on the islands
about Beaufort and Port Royal. Over
two million dollars of property has
boon wrecked near the same points.
And both of these are the direct re
suit of the severe storm which swept
along the Atlantic coast on tho night
of August 27th.
Every one of the fifteen or twenty and
islands lying arouud Port Royal

every door knob there is a hunch of
crape, tind upon every hillside thoro
are fresh-mado graves, some already
tilled, while others are awaiting tho
bodies that will be deposited in them
just as soon as some one can he found
to do the kind Christian act of shovol
ing the dirt upon tho ooflin.
Tho beeches, tho undergrowth,
trees aud shubbery, tho marshos and
tho inlots are turning up now dead
bodies every time an investigation is
made. Already more than two hund
red bodies have been found, and many
people of that section are confident
in their predictions that the death roll
will run aH high as five hundred. Some

off even lighter. Around tho two
towns there is a chain of islands, and
it was upon these that tho black angel
of death hovered fur hours Sunday
night, leaving in his path sorrow and
desolation greater than Ims ever visi
to<1 the state before,oven in the bloody
days of reconstruction.

were tilled Wednesday morning. At
the other end of Lady’s island seven
other dead bodies have been found. At
Dnwtha’s island, a place of about
1,200 acres, eightv lives are reported bodies

UOHH TO SHIPPING.
The loss to shipping around the im
portant islands is fearful. There aro
eight (hedges which wore employed in
getting out phosphate rook by the
several companies engaged in this in
dustry. The largest one, the Kennedy,
cost $3,TO,00$. The others were not
so valuable, hut all are beached high
and dry, or are bottom up and hope
less wrecks, Connected with these
dredges were washboatH and lighters.
There wore something like three huA
dretl of these, the average value being
about $2,000, and which are scattered
all over the marshes. Many of these
can 1m recovered,hut there aro at least
fifty that are total wrecks.
The damage to the phosphate indus
try, to shipping, warehouses, com
merce, merchandise, dwellings aud
crops around Roaufost and Port Royal
will go to 82,000,000. Add $1,000,000
for Charleston, another for Havunnak
and the damage to railroads aud
steamship lines and thoro is u grand
total of Something like $5,000,000 loss
find 000 dead bodies as tho fruit of
Humbly night’s blow in a stretch of
loo miles on tho Georgia and Carolina
coast, (t is equal to tho devastation
of war, and yet those are tho iigures
given by conservative men.
