The trouble seems to have sprung from an arrest of a white man by a colored constable on Caney creek, thirty-five miles from Columbia. After the constable left to sorve tho warrant he was found in the waters of Caney creek. The negroes believed that the white man for whom the warrant was issued, assisted by his friends, caused the death of tho constable—hence the gathering in force. Their number is placed at 200, mostly armed and mounted.

St. Louis, Sept 28.—Rain foil almost without intermission throughout yesterday, and last night the downpour was nkin to a deluge, and the streets are turned into miniature rivers. It la the first wet spall that St. Louis has experienced since early spring, and Jupiter Pluvius is getting iu his 'work in fine style. A* a result the prevailing condition is one of general demoralization. Fully 100,000 strangers are in thejeity, and they have perched themselves like herrings into the lobbies of the hotels, the foyers of the theatres, cigar stores and saloons, especially the latter. Thousands of them have been glad to secure a night's shelter miles away from tho centcr of the city, and thousands more, with many women among them, have not a place to lay thoic heads. The hundreds of tents that had bean pitched in the suburban parks have been rendered inhabitable, and the 20,000 or more veterans who bad been assigned to camping out quarters have quitted them in disgust, and secured accommodations, which, however, could not hav« been made available for the general public. The rain continued throughout the night, and the probabilities are that the parade will be entirely abandoned. Saratoga, N.

As soon aa the Volunteer got in front the whole fleet started right after her, churning and tearing up the water until it was as choppy aa a channel sea. Is this not true, Mr. Belli" Mr. Boll acqulesoed,and added: "This was not the worst feature. The wind had to come to us through the spaces between the big boats, and this -made it so streaky that it was hard to tell just where the eye of the wind really was. We dii our best under the circumstances, and as I said before, we wont complain. We intend to find out to-morrow what was really the matter with the Thistle.

In regard to a short tack made by the Thistle just after the start, and by which she was thought to hare lost considerably, Mr. Bell said: This short leg was made by Capt Barr, who was sailing the vessel, for what purpose I cannot say." ""Would you have made this tack, Mr. Boll, if you had been sailing the boat?" Numerous caucuses in relation to encampment matters were held by the department delegations during yesterday afternoon and evening, and several more are slated. The New Jersey delegation has declared itself solid for Gen. Slo&un as commander-inchief, and the friends of tbo latter are claiming accessions from Illinois, Ponusylvania and Massachusetts.

Capt Barr may have been looking for a better wind or a swifter ebb current." The sensational development of the day, however, is the fact that Governor Foraker is the candidate of the Falrchild-Tuttle wing for the high position. Igqorance of this fact is claimed by the Ohio delegations, but it is a fact that a number of eastern and western delegates have been approached and their support of the Ohio goveruor solicited. Foraker's absence from the encampment had beensejMroly commented upon, and there are more putting two and two together, do not scruple to expross the opinion that his absence and his candidacy are not entirely disconnected. Every hour, moreover, brings developments which indicate more strongly than ever that a political complexion will be given to the sessions of the body. Mr. Boll then stepped aboard the cutter'i gig, which was to convey him to the Scotch steam yacht Mohican, lying near. The bill authorizes the purchase of 1,000 to 4,000 acres of land, to the improvement of which the labor of tho convicts shall be directed. The bill also proposes to take from tho lessees tho women and children under 16 years of age. The original lease provided for a penitentiary, which the leasees have very singularly failed to establish. Boys and Children 8 Hats Mr. Bell shook hands earnestly with Capt. Barr before leaviug, and as the gig pulled away ho shouted: "By the way, } wish you would aay to Mr. Paine, through the press, that I regret very much that we were unable to give him a good old rousing British cheer before we dropped anchor.

It still looks as If the state officers to be nominated would be Cook, of Rochester, for secretary of state; Governor Gordon's investigation at the brutal treatment of convicts under the lease system, and the startling developments which have resulted, have furnished an additional incentivo to a prompt disposition of the question. The bill will not materially affect the lessees unless Governor Gordon shall decide to forfeit the contracts. The impression prevails that he will take such action, and the bill Is being pushed forward so that no delay in providing for tha convicts may bo experienced. Wemple, Watebbuiiy, Conn., Sept 28.—William MoDonald, brother of Dr. E. W. McDonald, of this place, was strack by a New York and New Eugland freight train at the Bank street crossing last night and hurled fifteen feet, but miraculously escaped with only severe bruises and a few cuts. ■■ t Miraculous Kscapo from Death. Fultonville, f or JVECKWEAR. Capt Barr substantiated all of Mr. Bell's statements, but seemed to share the conviction of the crew that something was wrong with tho Thistle's bottom. controller; Law- rence J. Fitzger- ald, of Cortlandt, held them up to test the wind. What little there was came from north-northweat, about three points north. "It will be a Thistle day" waa the remark to be heard on every hand. Gen. Tuttle'a deliverance Monday night has evoked a response from Gen. Anderson, the Democratic candidate for governor of Iowa, a delegate to the encampment. He sails into Tattle without gloves, declares that he is a* much a copperhead as he was in 1863; characterizes him as a blatherskite; declares that be has made the Grand Army in Iowa so much of a political machine that tho Democrats there have been compelled to form an association composed exclusively of Democrats, and defends this move as one not so much of secossion as of self defense. Talk of this character pro and con became rather general as the day wore on. There were indications, moreover, that the proposition to hereafter exclude the past department commanders from a seat, voice or vote in tho encampmont, which will be submitted by tho New York delegation and opposed by their  comrades, will prove a thorn in the Bide of the gathering. Corporal Tanner, of Brookpost commander, of New York, has publicly declared that he will not obey the instructions of his department oncampment in this connection, and yesterday afternoon considerable of a stir was created by the distribution of an anonymous handbill denouncing Tanner in the strongest terms and charactericing him as an "arrogant and windy shouter."

London, Sept. 28.—Manager Chamberlyn, of the Opera Comique, states that the American actor John A. Stevens, and his agent, Mr. S tec It ban, were arrested and imprisoned on a warrant in order to prevent their leaving the country while an action brought by Mr. Chamborlyn was pending. The court ordered them to be imprisoned until they bad paid £264 or found securities for double that amouut.

Bourke Cochrane says, however, that Tammany Hall will support Poucher for the office of attorney general. A Manufacturer's Suicide. A full line of Furnishing Goods- New Haves, Sept 28.—H. J. Harris, aged 28 years, president of tho Clinton Manufacturing company, committed suicide at Clinton yesterday by taking chloroform. He formerly resided at Norwalk, and was interested in the manufacture of cologne. , Our story, wo hope, will be concluded in our handsome remodeled Btore, when you, dear reader, want anything in my line. Respectfully, When it was still nearly an hour before the starting time the upper bay was a floating city. The water all around the flagship Electra was filled up and everywhere bands played and whistles blew. For two hours or more the great fleet lay in the bay waiting for a wind. The slight breeze had died out, and the chances were that there would be no race. As noon approached, however, a gentle breeze sprang up. In conclusion, Capt Barr said that he hoped the excursion steamers and big boats would show more consideration for the yachts in the next race and give them a free wind and a clear sea. There is more or less gossip as to what will be done by Irving Hall in consequence of their having been refused recognition in the xinvention. The leaders of that faction decline to express an opinion as to their future course, but it is stated that a meeting of the rank and file of the organization will be sailed soon after thefr return to New York ind their policy will there be agreed upon. It is quite possible, if not probable, that an effort will be made to effect an understanding with the United Labor party something similar to that of last year, when the George people supported Irving Hall's nominees for afflees for which the United Labor party made no nominations. The Supremo Court Vacancy. Tho belief still prevails among impartial observers that Capt. Barr, when he made his short tack for the Dong Island shore, had observed the Volunteer walking up on his weather quarter, and resorted to this expedient to escape a wet blanket. The belief also remains that the alleged wonderful light weather qualities of the Thistle are mostly fiction, and that the Volunteer can defeat her in any wind or any sea. Washington, Sept 38.— It is learned on good authority that the vacancy on the supreme bench caused by the death of Justice Woods is not likely to be filled until after the president's return from his western and southern trip. Buffalo, Sept. 28.—In the United States district court the jury in the case of George W. Rogers, of Oil City, charged with robbing the mails, disagreed and were discharged. Rogers was ozpress messenger and postal clerk on the Buffalo, New Tork and Philadelphia railroad, and was accused of opening registered letters in transit. The evidence was all circumstantial. Frank Rawson, of Allen, Allegany county, was found guilty of counterfeiting, and sentenced to four years in Brio county penitentiary and fined $50. The Jarj Disagreed. J. H. RICKETTS, At 11:46 the Thistle began to stand in toward Bay Ridge, and the Volunteer's sails partly filled. Shortly after 13 o'clock the Electra blew her whistle and the starting line was cleared. Before the preparatory starting guns were fired the Thistle sailed past the Electra with all sails set except balloon jib and spinnaker. The Volunteer cruised about in a small space, and both yachts created a great sensation. The fog, by 12:15, had nearly disappeared, and the southerly breeso grew stronger. The preparatory starting gun was fired at 13:30. The starting gun was fired at 13:30 and both boats almost immediately headed for the line. Both carried mainsail, club topsail and three jibs. The Thistlo was slightly in the lead, but there was not more than 300 feet between the boats. The official starting time was: Thistle, 13:33.06; Volunteer, 13:34:58X. Secretary Lamar at Work Again.

London, Sept. 38.—The yacht race *t New York excited little interest in London, except in the city proper, where large crowds assembled early in the evening around the bulletin boards at the cable offices, dispersing, however, before the result was announced. Yachting men were interested, but the publio paid no special attention to the race. Last night there was a largely attended reception at the Merchants' Exchange. Governors Rusk, of Wisconsin; Larrabee, of Iowa; Alger, of Michigan, and Oglesby, of Illinois, were among the guests upon the platform. Mayor Francis welcomed the visitors and Gen. Fairchild responded. A promenade concert closed the reception. MUSIC HALL. OUsTE WEEK, Weather Indication*. Tearing Up the Balls. It is well understood by the Irving Hall people that they can't make any deal with Henry George, as their experience of last year was decisive on that point, but a Friendly temporary alliance is not impracticable and would serve Irving Hall's purpose as a method of wreaking revenge upon the other "halls," and convincing them that, though a comparatively small organization, they can do mischief enough to make their friendship worth having in the presidential campaign.

Dublin, Sept. 28.—The statement that the wires were cut and the rails torn up between Mitchellstown and Cork created a sensation yesterday in the metropolis. People stared at one another, their looks more eloquent than words. Inquiry showed that there was a grain of truth in the story, a couple of lengths of rail having been tiiken up to intercept the police expected to go down with Capt Plunket from Cork to the Ponsonby evictions. The injury was discovered in sufficient time to prevent an accident. COMMENCING Monday, Sept. 26th 1887. On tho Clydo, where the people were keenly interested in the event, betting was in favor of the Thistle. Cable dispatches were published in the afternoon saying that the Thistle would certainly win.

First appearance In this cllj of the popular young actress, TRADE BULLETIN. DLLIG AKERSTROM, Both yachts crossed the line on the port tack. The moment they were off the great fleet of pleasure boats started after them, followed later by the Electra, which soon overhauled the crowd. Then happened one of the most remarkable things ever aeen in a yacht race in this harbor. The two yachts "went into the narrows with the Thistle sev-orol hundred feet ahead of the Volunteer and came out with the Volunteer a good ihalf mile ahead of the Thistie, the Volunteer 'booming along at a great rate of speed, while the Thistle was standing almost dead otilL The reason of this was that the Volunteer had caught the wind like a feather and the Thistle had caught none of it A little while later tne Thistle caught the wind and started off at a better pace, but at X :05, half an hour after tho start, tho Volunteer was fully a mile in the lead. The long lead of the Volunteer was ascribed to superior seamanship in holding on to tho first tack toward Staten Island and catching the breeze off shore. I* New York Money and Produce Market Quotations. A letter from a member of the Thistle's crew was quoted in which the writer said: Nbw York, Sept. *7.—Money closed at per cent.

There was no increase in trading during the afternoon, hut the tone remained Arm, and the advance of the morning was fully maintained. The arrivals of more gold from the other side and the advance of from 15 to 80 cents in the price of coal helped to strenjthen the market to-day.

Philadelphia, Sept. 28.—'Tabor Skinner, Formerly a Knight of Labor, has brought suit against General Master Workman Powierly and the general executive board of the Knights of Labor to recover $4(30.24, his bill tor work done in repairs and alterations upon the new Knights of Labor headquarters in this city. Skinner claims that he has time books of men employed and vouchers for material bought to account for every cent of the amount demanded. The executive board claim that Skinner was under contract to do all the work for $320, because Skinner sketched an estimate on paper of the probable cost of the job. Skinner was master workman of local assembly No. 9,330, composed of carpenters, up to last May, when a breach between himself and the lommittee of the general board, who had charge of tho work, caused him to leave the order.

MUSIC HALL. ONE NIGHT ONLY. MONDAY, OCTOBER 3d. After a while the Thistle got more wind and decreased the Volunteer's lead, and at 3 o'clock the Scotch boat was apparently not more than three-quarters of a mile behind, while at 2:15 not more than half a mile separated the two, although the Thistle was a quarter of a mile to the leeward. At 2:30 the Volunteer was only three-eighths of a mile ahead. The wind was increasing, and the Volunteer at 2:35 rounded the point of the Hook and headed for tho lightship, six minutes ahead of the Thistle. At 2:43 the Volunteer was on the starboard tack outside of tho Hook, about a mile and a quarter .ahead of the Thistle, the latter then being near the point of the Hook. The wind was (lion blowing nine miles an hour, and the Volunteer slowly increa«Cltig her lead until 3:45, when she rounded the lightship and Ktaited homeward.
