Erick Masons of Every Grade Command iu2 #•"> p r I>y—Generous Donations fr.iui Warm-Hearted Englishmen-Tho gro Cleritymen Issue an Address to 1 heir Flocks. Charleston, S. C., Sept. 13.—There is tot much chattge iu the situation to-day, but strenuous efforts are being made to patch up houses in a rude way to make tbern water tight and allow residences to be occupied and business to be resumed. Considerable excitement has been caused by the refusal of the bricklayers to work (or less than $5 per day. The objection, apparently, is not so much to the amount asked for as to the character of the work done, many oitboseclaimingthe advanced rate being inefficient. Under instructions from the Treasury Department. Earle Sloan has visited the reported Assure on the Savan nah and Charleston railroad, and finds it due to the continuity ot a millponu and nut to the earthquake. Mr. Sloan will visit the fissures in and about Summer vine and traverse the whole line ot the smith Carolina railway, examining the phenomena reported, and observing spe cially auy changes in the levels of the earth. THE RELIEF FOND. At a snecial meeting of the City Coun cil to-dav, Mayor Courtenay reported that the amount of the relief lund to this time is about $200,000. He said further that -with the large measure of relief necessary co reach the many suflerers it was hardly necessary to say to the Alder man of Charleston how small this sum would be when divided among the suffer ers. To show,” ho said, “the gross igno rance as to the amount received and the needs of the city it has been deliberately suggested that no taxes be levied next year, and the relief fund be used in stead.” As the taxes in 1886 in Charleston reached nearly $900,000 it is easily seen how lal acious and misleading are such suggestions. Kire broke out at 1:30 o’clock this after noon at the Ferno Lirre Chemical Works. The loss was trifling. Gen. W. 8. Crawtord, United States Army, of Philadelphia, who visits Charleston to see ior himself the condi tion of affairs, is much impressed by the character of the loss by the earthquake, and holds it to be iar beybnd the usual estimates. ACTOR IRVING'S GENEROUS GIFT. Mayor Courtenay received to-day the following telegram trom London: ••With brotherhood and deep sympathy, 1 respectfully beg you to accept in my name £IOO towards the relief of the suf lerers from the late and calamity. “Henry Irving, “Lyceum Theatre, London.” There are no new developments in the strike, but all the bricklayers employed are now receiving $5 a day, good, bad or indifferent. Light ministers ot the colored churches of Charleston bave returned to their homes. To tbeir people they say, as to the matter of rendering assistance to those persons whose houses have been in jured: “We leel warranted in saying that we have good assurances that the neces sary help will be given you by tbe city authorities as soon as they are able to get at this matter.” In conclusion they say: ‘ Let it be understood that in rendering pm ad we consider ourselves as co-op erating with the Relief Committee and other committees 'appointed by the Mayor.” The Lord Mayor of London has received a letter from Mr. I’uetps, United States Minister, forwarding tbe cable message from Secretary Bayard. expressing President Cleveland's grateful aoknowl edgmeut for the generous action of the Lord Mayor ana city of London in behalf olttie Charleston sufferers. N. M. Roths child & Sons bave contributed £6OO, and Messrs Baring Bros. & Cos. the same amount, to the relief fund. It is probable that a large sum will be realized. TAMPA’S AID. Tampa, Fla..

No Peremptory Demand Made for the Release of Seized Smacks. Washington, Sept. 13.—N0 demand “peremptory” or otherwise lor the release and restoration of Canadian vessels seized in Alaskan waters has beeu received at the State Department, nor have questions possibly involved in the seizures reached the Secretary from any official source. Some of the remarkable utterances re cently telegraphed from Ottawa and at tributed to a member of the Dominion Cabinet are thought at tbe department to be fabrications. It being incredible that any person holding a place of such grave responsibility sbould, with the meagre in formation now in band, pledge the Cana dian and British governmenis to an arbi trary course, and in advance even of the presentation of their case to this govern ment, predict “lively limes,” unless the demands are at once compiled with. FAILURE OF A CONFERENCE. The Stove "Works Hands Still Out at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Bept. 13.—A conference between the stove manufacturers, their employes and representatives of the Ivnights ot Labor took place to-day for the purpose of considering the demand for alO per cent, advance in wages re cently presented by the men. The con ference lasted for seven hours. The em ployers assumed a decided stand against granting the advance, and representa tives of the Knights of Labor ottered to compromise upon an advance of 5 per cent., the new scale to remain in effect until the last Monday in June, 1887, at which time the schedule will be arranged for the ensuing year. This offer was re fused by the manufacturers and was at once withdrawn. No settlement could be effected and the situation remains the same. GRAVE ROBBERS IN JAIL.

Her accumulators were changed only once for the whole journey of 50 miles The sea was very oalm, and the passage was made so noiselessly that a seagull asleep on the water was not dis turbed by the approach of the yacht, and was caught with hands. Avoca's Terrible Epidemic. Galena, Ills., Sept. 13.—An epidemic prevails among the inhabitants of Avooa, lowa county, Wisconsin, which has re sulted tatally in many cases. The dis ease is of the nature of dysentery, ending, in cases of children, in spinal meningitis and death. Thus far It has been confined to the limits of the village, and this neces sitates the closing of the schools and the abandonment of all public meetings. The disease is similar to that which prevailed with such terrible fatal effect in Galena a few years ago and Spring Green, Wis., in 1884. Much alarm is felt. Revocation of a Murderer's Dis charge. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 13—'The Su preme Court to-day delivered judgment on toe appeal of the Attorney General of British Columbia against a writ issued by Judge Henry, iu chambers, for the dis charge ol the convicted murderer, Robert Evan Sproule, on the ground of illegality in his trial.

Tha Greenback Vote Running Ahead of That of tin* Prohibitionists—Radical Tickets Successful in Nearly AH the Counties— Republican Congressional Candidate* Undoubtedly Eirctt-d. Augusta, 11k., Sept. 13.—Chairman Manley has sent tbe following telegram to the editor oi the Tribune, New York: “The result of to-dav’s election is a (ar larger Republican majority than was an ticipated—the largest, indeed, given in the State for the past fifteen years, except in Presidential years. We expected 7,000 or 8,000 plurality. The figures at this hour (11 o’clock) indicate a plurality lor Bodwell of not less than 12,000, and not Improbably 14,000. We have car ried every Congressional district and eleoted two-thirds to three-fourths ol the Legislature, thus securing the Senate and county officers probably in fourteen of tbe sixteen counties of the State. The Republican plurality in this city is tbe largest ever thrown, being more than 7Co.out of a total vote of 1,800. The total vote of the state will be above 137,- 000, which is extraordinarily large lor an off year. Out of this the aggregate of tbe third party will not exceed 3,500, far less than was expected by the leaders of tbe movement. J. H. Manley, “Chair’n Republican State Committee.” IN KENNEBEC COUNTY. Tbe Republicans of Kennebec county elect every county officer, both Senators and every Representative except one by about 3,200 plurality. Milliken for Congress will bave about 4,000 ma jority. The Republicans won a complete victory in this city, the vote being 1,289 for Bodwell, 610 for Edwards, 41 for Clark, giving Bodwell a majority over the Democratic candidate of 729 votes,the largest majority ever obtained by the Re publicans in Augusta. In 1884 Robie’s majority was 599 und his plurality 643. the returns from the towns. Portland, Me., Sept. 13.—Thirty towns give for Governor: Bodwell. Re publican, 11,365; Edwards, liemoorat, 8,978; Clark, Prohibitionist, 671. The same towns in 1884 gave Robie 12,740, Redihan 9,181, Eustis 259, and Greenback 568. This shows a Republican loss of 1,172. STILL ON TnE LOSE. Sixty towns give Bodwell 17,237; Ed wards, 14,092, and Clark, 929, against in 1884; Robie, 19,378; Redman, 14,682; Pro hibitionists, 345, and Greenbackers, 711; showing a Republican loss ot 1,651. An estimate of tbe gains in the first Con gressional district indicates that Reed. Republican, will have from 1,200 to 1,500 plurality. Seventy towns give Bodwell 19,414; Ed wards, 15,623, and Clark 1,038, against in 1884, Robie, 21,951; Redman 16,261; Pro hibitionists, 363; Greenbackers, 809. and scattering 3. The Republican plurality is 3,791, against 5,690. This is a Republi can loss of 1,899. 2,931 LOST IN 150 TOWNS. One hundred towns give Bodwell 27,863, Edwards 22,621, and Clark 1,448. against Robie in 1844, 31,824, Redman 24,157, Pro hibition 573,Green back 1,339, and scatter ing 7; a Republican plurality of 5,342, against 7,667, a loss of 2,325. One hundred and fifty towns give Bod well 34,532, Edwards 27,305. and Clark 1.765, against Robie in 1884. 39,400, Red man 29,243, Prohibition 649, Greenback 1,518, and scattering 7: a Republican plurality of 7,229, against 10,158, a loss of 2,931. One hundred and eighty towns give Bodwell 39,087, Edwards 32,014 and Clark 1,947, against, in 1884, Robie 44,641, Red man 33,936, Prohibition 741, Greenback 1,701, and scattering 8; a Republican plu rality of 7,073, against 10,706—a loss of 3,632. Tbe Congressional vote is being com puted. The First district gives 1,200 plu rality for Reed, and tbe indications are that the other districts will give much larger Republican figures. 223 TOWNS HEARD FROM. Two hundred and twenty-three towns give: Bodwell, Rep., 48.033; Edwards, Dm., 39,071; and Clark, Prohibition, 2.873.

The Republican plu rality this year in those towns is 9,562. against 14,030 in 1884, being a loss of 4,468. A similar loss in the towns yet to be heard from will give an aggregate vote of 127.000, divided as follows: Repub lican 66,600, Democratic 55,200, Prohibi tion 3,800. The labor ticket bad no Guber natorial candidate nor Congressional can didate in tbe Fourth district. But few figures of the Congressional vote are in, and the labor vote will probably not be known until tbe official figures come in. THE FOUR CONGRESSMEN. All four of the Republican Congress men are elected by handsome majorities, Reed, in the First district, increasing his plurality over Clifford to 1.200 against 925 over Cleaves In 1884. The Legislature will stand probably 28 Republican Sena tora to 8 Democrats, agajnst a complete Republican Senate in 1834. The Demo crats will gain In the House in equal pro portion, but tbe Republicans will have a handsome majority. Cumberland county has probably gone Republican, except lor Sheriff, whom the Democrats have doubtless elected on the liquor question, DINOLEY HAS A WALK-OVER. Lewiston, Me., fjent. 13.—Returns from a large number of towns in the Sec ond district show that Dinglev, Republi can. lias heen re-eleotect to Congress by over 7.000 plurality over Gsreelon.

Denver, Sept. 13.—The heavy rains which for the past lew davs have fallen in the region between Socorro and Albu querque, N.

The Democratic Congressional Con vention, which-was to bave met at So corro, has been postponed because the delegates are unable to reach there. It will bo several days before tbe road is in ruuning order. VIOLENCE AT AUGUSTA. Two Men Followed by Strikers and Assaulted In the Streets. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 13.—1 t was devel oped in the Recorder's Court this morn ing that two of the operatives who went to work last week in the Augusta Factory were set upon late Saturday night by three men and one of the couple was badly beaten. The two were surprised as they left an up-town barroom, and one of them, J. Allen, was knocked down and terribly bruised. Tbe other escaped with a few blows, but says he was pursued by a man with a knife. Allen had been fol lowed during the evening by three men, and he seemed to be tbeobjeot ot their at tention. As be passed out of another bar he heard one say: “There is the leader of the gang. We’ll get him.” He did not then know what was meant, but he lound out later when he was struck over the eye and felled to the ground. He swore out warrants to-day against Krauk Odom, Golden Hardeman and Andrew McCann, and they were bound over in sums of S2OO each to appear before the Recorder to-morrow. This case is rather serious, as the prosecuting counsel asked for heavy bond, declaring that several other cases would bang on this, and that a case ot intimidation would probably be brought, it seems that Allen is one ol the men from the Riverside Mills, who went to work in t-.e Augusta Fac tory. When he was so designated he was told by one of bis fellow employes “good bye,” and you had better tell your friends “good bye.” The three men claim that tbe threat had nothing to do with the case, and that the attack was the re sult ot a gambling row. It is not known whether the three men are Knights of Labor. Despite this disturbance thirteen operatives went to work in the Augusta Factory to-day, and the oarding. weaving and spinning rooms were started CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE. Knights of Labor Fitted Against tfie Cuban Federation. Philadelphia, Sept. 13.—A general strike of the Knights of Labor cigar ma kers was inaugurated here to-dav, in pur suance of a resolution adopted by the Ex ecutive Board of District Assembly No. 53, at a meeting held Sunday morning, in effect that no Knight ot Labor cigar ma ker would be permitted to work in a shop where any members of the Cuban Fede ration were employed. The strike occurred in tbe following named factories: Mange, Weiner A Cos., 130 men: Sondheim, Loeb A Cos., 10 men; Joseph Portuondo. 10 men; Domingo and Cos., 15 men: T. T. Smith, 12 men; Grain, Mavales A Cos., 12 men. in several smaller shops strikes have oc curred. Involving in each case from 6 to 10 men; 230 men in all went out. Early in the day all the members of the Cuban Federation employed by Holloway A Swain, went out on a strike. The Cu bans will not return to work until Hollo way A Swain concede two things to In ternational Union lOOof this oity. First, that all persons now employed on reduced brands of cigars be dismissed and all dis charged international men reinstated. Second, that the firm agree to pay $9 per 1,000 !or cheroots, and also that they con tinue to pay the same prices for cheaper grades of work that were in lorce pre vious to this difficulty. STRIKES AT BATH. Shipbuilding Hands and Iron Work ers Demand More l’ay. Bath, Me., Sept. 13.—The workmen employed in the New England Shipbuild ing Company’s yard went on strike this morning on account of a cut in wages. The men in the New England Irott Works are also out by order of tbe Knights of Labor. Only 8 men out of 75 continue at work at the iron works, and only 4 out of 175 are at the ship yards. The men say they will remain out till the company yields. The superintendent of tie iron works says the company will stand by its determination to make a re duction in the yard. If the men wish to work they may. Tbe vacancies will be tilled as fast as possible. Those wishing to work will be protected. End of a Strike. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 13.—Tne strike ol the Wilmington tnorocco work ers, wtilch began in March last, has been practically ended and the men will re sume work. The old employes of two of the lactories have been given permission by the Executive B aid of the Kultbls oi Labor to return to ibeir places, and it is probable that tbe striko will be for mally ueolured off In a day or two. The terms of settlument are not kuown, but it is given out that tbe new arrange ment is satisfactory to nil concerned. Amntcrdaiii'h Striking hplnnor*. Amsterdam, N. Y., Bept. 13.—The striking spinners in Schuyler A Boody’s mill did not go to work this morning. The Spinners’ Assembly has resolved to stand by the strikers. All the mills in town be longing lo tbe Knit Goods Manufacturers’ Association shutdown to-night,throwing 2.000 hauds out of employment. Both sides a e determined. Knights Indorse a Boycott, St. Louis, Sept. 13.—At a secret meet ing of tbe Knights of Labor of this dis trict, held venterday, the boycott insti tuted by tbe Brewers' Union against the firms woo bave not aeoetled to the strik ers’ demands was indorsed. WOMEN BEAT A BAILIFF DRAGGED FROM CHURCH INTO THEIR CLUTCHES. A Prie*t Who Subsequently Grunted H 1 in Confession lirrated l>y the T**n Hntry—The Irish Uoynl and Patriotic Union 1 4 *ue* mu Allure** ou the Quen tlons of the Hour. Dublin, Hept. 13.—Three moonlight raids took place last night, all of them being close to the headquarters of Gen. Bir Redvers Duller. William Cuffe, a bailiff, who had made himself very ob noxious by his cruel treatment of a woman whom he had recently evloted, went early to attend mass In Belcarra cbapel. When the congregation noticed Cufl'e’s presence they became very indig nant, and the men dragged him trom the building. When they bad him outside they turned him over to the women, who were begging “for a chaucs at hint.” Among tUese women were twelve that Cuffe had evloted. They were furious and fell upon tbe bailiff and beat him unmer cifully. Subsequently the priest, who is also the President of the local branch of the National League, admitted the bat tered bailiff to bear mass, and this mercy for the unfortunate matt has almost caused a rebellion against the priest. A PRIEST SENT TO PRISON. Father Faby, a Catholic priestof Wood ford, was arraigned to-day on a charge of having threatened the owner of property in Woodtord from which a tenant had been evicted. He was found guilty, and the court gave him the ohoice of giving bail for his good behavior lor six months or of going to prison for tbe same period. The priest ohose the latter alternative. Lord Mayor Sullivan has called a meet ing of the oity corporation to dismiss tbe address to be presented to tbe new Vice roy on the occasion of his state entry into Dublin. BUYING ON SIXTEEN YEARS TIME. Most of the tenants of the O’Flaherty estates neur Longford have accepted the offer ot their landlord to sell their hold ings at a price equal to tho sum of six teen years rent. As none of tho tenants on the O’Flaherty estates have had their rents fixed under the land act of 1881 the purchases will be based on the old rents. Recent heavy rains have almost ruined crops in the north of Ireland. A PAMPHLET ON THE QUKBTION. London, Sept. 13.—The Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union has issued a pam phlet on the Irish question for the use of members of the House of Commons and the press. “The status ot Irish tenant, farmers,” says the pamphlet, “has, within the past sixteen years, undergone marked amelio ration owing to various remedial statutes. There has certainly been a fall of prices, but, everything considered, there is noth ing exceptionally bad in Irish agriculture. The Irish enjoy greater advantages ot tenure than other people. With improved methuds there is reason to look to the iuture with confidence.” Here figures are quoted showing that full advantage is taken of the right to sell interest in holdings. Tbe pamphlet con tinues: “Laying aside rhetorical bosh it ij necessary to state sucnlnet.lv actual facts regarding eviction. By the land act of 1881 a tenant oannot possibly be evicted unless he refuses to pay rent or does not comply with certain statutory conditions not forming an imaginary grievance. Ejectment for non-pavment of rent can not be brought for less than a year’s rent actually due. II an ejeotment he brought the tenant may redeem the property at any time within six months altertheexecutioii of tbe writ, or may, within tbe same period, sell tho tenancy after the writ has Been t xecu ted to anybody, and the purchaser may re deem the property. Mauy other advan tages are possessed by tenants. Theie fore an eviction is dangerous and costly to the landlord, and is practiced only in extreme cases. If a year’s rent should fall due in September or November, the landlord does not get a decree until the January session, and six months more must elapse before he can gain possession of the land. Tbe landlord Is then liable to the tenant for the crops, go that, nearly two years must elapse before he fully re covers his tenancy.” THE IRISH HOLDINGS. In 1884 the Irish holdings numbered 565,264. The evle lons during the first six ruODthsof 1880 numbered only 2,007, the vast majority being for more than one year’s arrears. Carefully prepared re turns show tbnttnere were only WO cases of absolute removal, many having been re admitted. indeed many of the 860 were re instated as care-takers. An additional important fact is that by the County Court rules in all cases of ejectment, and the .Judge Is able to grant such stay of execution as under.the circumstances he considers rea sonable. a similar course being frequent in the Superior Courts. THE SUBSCRIPTIONS. Regarding the money subscribed for the agitation it is needless to remind the public that the Nationalists boast that even the poorest and neediest people have shown their sympathy with the agi tation by the extent and continuance or their contributions. It is needless now to inquire into the truth of the matter, or to Inquire how much compulsion was necessary in ob talnlng the money All that is required is that the hard, stern tacts should be noted carefully. The Land League was started in 1679. its avowed object being to assist Irish tenants. The tjrst practical move was to commence drawing sub scriptions. FIGURES FROM THK RECORDS. The following figures are taken from the l’nrnellite prints from October, 1879, until tbo government suppressed the league in October, 1861: The Land League received from Orest lirltain and Ireland £17,604. During the same period there was subscribed lo th** “fair trial” fund £1.024, and for the relief of distress £912. Thelsst named fund received from all sources £60,672, of which £IO,QUO was diverted to the Parnellite political filed, anil the balance of £8.656 is entirely un accounted for. The I’arnell defense fund amounted to £17,961, tuo total received being £20,461, and there Is it balance of £8,401 unaccounted lor. There were sub scribed lo the Skerry and Father Sheehv testimonials £25,000, uud to sundry funds lor suapecta £2,600. THK LADIES’ LEAGUE. The Land League wus succeeded by the Ladles’ League, of which the prisoners’ austentatton committee received from ire land and (ireat Britain a total of £89,17(1. This committee gave placo to another which met at the Dublin Mansion House, nppesling for relief for evicted ten ant#, and which received £8.500. Then came the I’arnell tes timonial, to which the Irish at home subscribed £33,808 of £40,000. The Na tlonal League commenced in 1863. and has up to the present received £23,040 from the Irish branches concurrently with evictions levied by the league. FUNDS FOR THE LEADERS. Subscribers in Ireland supplied £SOO fine imposed on Air. Gray (or contempt of court; £S,“OO to defray the law expenses of Air. O’Brien in connection with tne public scandal in 1884; £7,200 given to Alessrs. Lalor, O'Con nor, O'Kelly, Pext.on, Harring ton, Healy and others in acknowl edgment of their services in Parliament, and £5.863 as a special testimonial to Mr. Sexton tor his invniuahle labors for Ire land iti Parliament. Other sums were collected, of which there is no record available for the defense of prisoners and expenses of public meetings. MR. EGAN’S ESTIMATE. Mr. Kgan, however, estnnates the amount at largo figures. He declared to tbe correspondent of an American paper three years ago that such items for the three years ending In October, 1882, did nut fall short ot £BO,OOO. We may esti mate similar expenses for the suc ceeding lour years at not less than that amount. Mr. Egan also includes in the subscriptions for patriotic purposes £25,000 for the Dublin exhibi tion. Finally, the amount subscribed up to the present moment to the Irish party fund is £0,592. To sum up, Ireland’s tribute ot hard cash to the Parnellite ex chequer (ol which the Irish In Great Britain subscribed something, though Inappreciable), since the founding of the Land League In October, 1879. to the present time amounts to £300,714, or £52,000 per annum. MATTHEWS’ APPOINTMENT. The Scottish Protestant Alliance will meet to consider Lord Randolph Churchill’s reply to Its protest against tbe appointment ot Henry Matthews to the Home Secretaryship, which was brought on the ground that ho was a Roman Catholic. Rev. James Paton, di rector of the alliance, has nddresecd a letter to Lord Churchill, in which he says: “You have penned an ineolout reply to a respectful publlo document. Although you are now a Cabinet Alinister, we ob serve with astonishment and regret that you have not laid aside those weapons of abuse with which you tomahawked your way to power. It is a national calamity when a man pitchforked into a high posi tion is destitute of decent manners.” Rev. Paten concluded his lett.fr by say ing that the alliance founded its protest upon the same grounds as those upon which tho exclusion of Roman Catholics Iron) the throne Is founded. PARNELL’S REDRAFTED BII.L. Air. Parnell’s land bill as redrafted sus pends evictions on payment Into court of half tbe rent due. Many Gladstontans disapprove of the amount of tbe reduo lion. The Parnellites assert that full values .'lustily the demand of over 60 per cent, re duction. Mr. I’arneil, In a conference with John Morley, urged a reduction of 76 per cent., but on Air. Morley’s advice he limited tbe reduction to 50 tier cent. Lease holders areincluded In the bill. The government’s response will be that Par nell’s data are inaccurate, that the Dub lin executive returns of the market val ues for 1885-86 snow that the reduction in price in Ireland is less tliHn In England and Scotland, ranging from 10 to 15 per cent. ABILITY TO PAY. Sir Michael Hicks Beach and Lord Randolph Churchill will deny that the bulk of the Irish tenants will be able to pay their rents in November, or that a host ot evictions will tie probable. The second reading of the Parnell bill will take place on Friday. Air. Glad stone bas privately announced that he will return to London on Saturday, and that be hopes to take part in tho debate on Alonduy It is understood that he will support the Parnell bill, Ills promised presence is already rallying the Gladston ians. The Unionist whips buve sent an appeal to the Unionist members in the country to return to London and vote against the bill. The government also insists upon a recall of the absentees. The Conservatives’ attempt to curtail the debate to one night will be in vain. The debate will probably extend over four nights. A CALL FROM THE LIBERAL wniPß.
