She laid up at l'icr 3 on Wednesday, and her passengers went on prospecting tours all over town. They wore for the most part young men. AlDout fifty of them got to bed so late that they missed the boat yesterday. E. Burt Phillips is the Boston manager of the Empire State. She is 35 years old, and is owned by Staples & Phillis, of Taunton. She ran for a long time as a sound steamer. About S p m. yesterday, as the steam dmtger-Queen, which has been employed for nine months in dredging out the ship channel, was towing into t1» Hook, she was run into and sunk in Gcdne/'s channel by the Alexandre steamer City of Alexandria, which was proceeding to sea in the fog. The crew numbered nine men, all told. Some of them were taken on board the steamer by ropes. The others were rescued by the steamer's boats. They were put on board the tug Robert Robinson, Capt. John Morrow, who transferred them to the tug Argue, which landed them on the railroad wharf at the Horseshoe, Sandy Hook. Two of the men were slightly injured. Hie Queen sank so quickly that the crew had no time to save any of their effects. After rescuing the men the City of Alexandria put to sea. The dredge was sunk in a position very dangerous for the steam and sailing croft bound in from the yacht race. The Grand Republic passed within 150 feet of it coming back in the fog.

Nxw York,Sept. 10.—It wa» what a yachtsman on one of the boats called the dirtiest yacht race he had ever witnessed. With the exception of a spurt of breeze early in the afternoon the whole course was characteristic of a New York yacht club affair—uo wind on the one hand and on tho other a fog through which nothing under sail could make headway. Early in the day the two big sloops left their Bay Ridge anchorages, the tug Luckenbock taking the English cutter Galatea in tow from her anchorage to the lightship and the tug Scandinavian taking care of the Mayflower for the same starting point. It was then shortly after 0 o'clock in the morning, and inside of two hours later they were thrown off tow itear the Scotland light. At 11:30 the preparatory signal was blown and half a minute after the start was proclaimed from the judge's boat. The two yachts 11 riswfid almost simultaneously, the Mayflower at 11:30:30 and the Galatea but two seconds later. They both started off on the starboard tack, but within a few minutes the Mayflower worked to windward of her adversary. Charleston, Sept. 10.—The post day has, in some respects, been the gloomiest day since the eventful 31st of August. The shock at 1 in the morning was felt by comparatively few, but since then there have been two others, one at 8:55 and one at 11:10 a. m. The earthquake, however, is of small consequence compared with the September rains, which have set in in earnest. The rains find many thousands of persons unsheltered. The people are huddled together in the public parks in mako-shift tents, totally inadequate to protect them from the storm, and utterly unprovided for as far as lanitary precautions are concerned. What this state of affairs will lead to, even in a healthy climate, is not difficult to understand. In this climate, and at this season, it means disease, and that speedily. To add to the dangers of the situation, the scavenger department sgpms to be paralysed, and but little has been done to olean up the debris and the offal which in accumulating on all sides. In all about 800 tents have been received and distributed These afford shelter to about 8,000 persons, at the outside. The police force has been increased, but not nearly enough to meet the necessities of the oocasion. In the early morning the streets presented a business appearance. Cotton was coming in freely, and the work of repairing buildings was well under way, but the heavy rain which set in at about noon putfl a stop to all this and a gloom over the entire city. A rumor has reached here of earthquakes in Cuba. It has not at this time been made public, but grave fears are entertained of the safety of the city in case this prove* to be true. The relief work is going on, but the rations to,7,000 persons issued are given almost exclusively to colored persons, very few white persons caring to ripply. The committee, however, are sending out commissary wagons with instructions to search out all infirm persons and supply them with rations. The committee are also supplying medicines. Kew York, Sept. 10.—Too little time has elapsed since the introduction of the new combined letter sheet and postal envelope, in the opinion of. Postmaster Person, to enable the forming of any decidcd opinion as to whether it comes to supply "a long felt want" or not. The sales of it have reached about what was expected—in the neighborhood of 10,000 a day—but whether that is merely because it is simply a novelty as yet, or is any indication of what they will continue to be when everybody has given the thing a trial, is still an open question. Will the ■mall economy in the use of the postal sheet and the convenience of being independent of the chances of sudden and exasperating lack of envelopes, be deemed a sufficient offset to the far from fascinating necessity of wetting the letter to the extent that this invention compels? Will some crank rise to remark upon the alarming dahger of distributing baleful disease germs and bacilli by means of these sheets) Wili women object to having the limits of their letters rigidly fixed to the confined space of a single sheet, and will they persist in trying to cross-line the gummed margins? Will it help the sale of the new sheets to the ladies if the gum that is to be wet is flavored with vanilla, rose, lemon, etc.? All these weighty questions must wait for answer until the postoffice authorities know a little more about the matter themselves. The possibility of such a course has been considered probable among a great many of those who followed the big trial of Spies and his comrades. The worst piece of circumstantial evidence is the letter on the Hocking valley agitation, written by Most, and found upon Spies at the time of his arrest. The obtaining of dynamite is in that epistle spoken of as an absolute necessity, and Most says he can supply the party with any amount that Another feature of Most's supposed influence upon the Chicago Anarchists and the inciting to riot was produced by the admission of tile notorious pamphlet, "Element* of Revolutionary Warfare," as evidence against the accused men. The report which at one time was started, alleging that Must had paid a secret visit to Chicago while eluding the search of Inspector Byrnes' detectives last May, is, however, pronounced utterly false. Pledging the members not to vote for any candidate for any office who will not first agree to support a law prohibiting the owners or mines from running their mines mora than eight hours in any one day, and a law compelling the owners of mines to pay their employes every two weeks in the lawful money of the United States; denouncing the conspiracy laws (relating to the intimidation of miners) of the several states. The National Labor Tribune, of Pittsburg, was indorsed as the official organ of the federation. Members ware urged to work for the enactment of laws providing for the weighing of coal before screening; also the following: Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention that no officer or member should organize or encourage any of oar craftsmen to connect themselves with any organisation whose methods are antagonistic to"'the alms and objects of national federation." A singular thing In the experience of the press tug, when working in and around the Hook, was the effect of the Hook fog horn. It could be plainly heard at intervals, and then would be utterly lost for from fifteen to twenty minutes. The scientific yachtsmen said this was due to the varying consistency of the fog. The thicker bank divertod the sound waves. A fall of drizzling rain Degan and drove all the guests from the outer decks of the score or two of steamers which followed the race. A prominent Chicago official visited the district attorney's office of this city yesterday in relation to the extradition of Most, and it has been ascertained that there is an effort made to hare him brought to Chicago this month, although his term at Black well Island does not expire until April next Resolved, That federated districts shall be composed of miners working In states or parts of states whose coal comes Into direct competition in the market. The powers of these districts shall be vested in general convention of the district and executive boards, each of which in the absenoe of the other shall have power to conduct the affairs of the district, provided that they do not in any way interfere with the management of state organizations. Where state organizations exist minors shall first attach themselves to such organizations before they can belong to the federated di»- trict They shall also be subject to the laws of state organizations in all measures, except wherein the interest of the federated district is concerned. The start was from the Scotland lightship, and was officially designated to be covered to windward east by north for twenty miles mid bock. At 11:41 the Galatea went about, followed by the Mayflower, which had gained considerably in the matter of lead. A few seconds afterward the Boston boat went off on the port tack to the northward, and, as It were, stole tlie thunder from her adversary. n.lf an hour later they went about again, the Mayflower still leading, with the floet of steamers clinging to lier wake. A mild fog loomed up from the Joi-sey shore, enfolding the far astern Galatea in its folds. Novelties cannot be depended on to last. The postal note wu considered almost a public blessing when it first came out, but has declined in popularity as experience (sored its demerits. It does not afford the protection that the "money order" does in sending money; its limitation of amount to very small sums makes it only a sort of small change for a service where bank bills would do equally well, aud be quite as safe. Its only possible advantage is that if one wants to send a small sum in a way that looks more formal than the sending of the money would be, the postal note is a»little cheaper than the money order. That consideration, to a people who are not distinguished for excesses in petty economy, is not enough, and the demand for the postal note is constantly growing less, though, of course, once having been introduced, it will probably never be altogether dropped. GERONIMO'S FUTURE FATE. Hartford, Conn., Sept 10.—The second day of the bicycle tournament was very successful. G. G. Dresser won the Hartford club mile handicap in 8m. 43 8-4s., E. A. Debtors second, George C. Pratt third. Rowe won the pro-amateur mile race by twelve feet, Ives second. F. Wood, of England (scratch), won the mile professional handicap in 2m. S3». This beats the record. F. T. Merrill (105 yards) came in second. Bicycle Races. He Will Be Taken to An Open Country Washington, Sept 10.—The president has telegraphed Adjt. Gen. Drum, the acting secretary of war, vesting him with discretionary authority as to the present disposition of Geronimo and his band. When the president returns to Washingtou he will decide on the permanent place of confinement for these Indians. Gen. Drum, in pursuance of this discretion, telegraphed Gen. Miles—who is on the ground and. more familiar with the surroundings than the adjutant general can be— transferring this discretionary authority to that officer. It is learned that Gen. Miles will remove Geronimo and his bucks at once from Fort Bowie, which is near the mountains, to Fort Bliss, in the open country. for Safekeeping. At 3:4ft p. ni. the Mayflower was laying northeast, half east on the starboard tack: The fog increased in density, and hid in the British cutter, and aliout 4 o'clock the wind drew out Twenty minutes later it sprang up again., ami at 4:2fi:"23 the Mayflower rounded the turning point, but the Galatea did not follow her, inasmuch as that the British cutter had ostensibly given up the race and headed home, or, at* least, for The three mile tricycle race was won by Burnham, defeating Ivas, in 9m. 80 l-2s. Resolved, The executive board of each state shall investigate the question of prices paid for machine mining in the several districts. A B. Rich won the one mile amateur open race in 2m. 48 l-2a. The stoppage of indiscriminate issuing of free passes over the railroads has had a very decided effect, diminishing the number of refugees. It is not pleasant to say that In one or two instances persons have applied for passes who were fully able to pay for them. 8ince the earthquake about5,000 persons have left the city, and others are departing daily. Only two additional burial certificates were issued by the health department to parties who have died from the effects of the earthquake. These were Sarah Riley (colored) 2 yean old, scrofula and exposure, and Miss M. C. Nowell (white) SO years old, shock. Woodside won the five mile professional lap race in 16m. 7 1-3b. , with Neilson second, Morgan third. George Harrison, of Ohio; Patrick Mo- Adams, of Indiana, and George Harris, of Pennsylvania, were appointed a committee to revise the constitution. Christopher Evans, of New Stratsville, O., was elected executive secretary; Daniel McLaughlin, of Illinois, executive treasurer. Crist «ad Brown won the tandem tricycle race in 5m. 58 1-te. H. 8.

Then the Mayflower tried to run home before spinnaker and lialloon jib, but it was evident th:it she would not complete the race. In the event of such a confession it became evident that the twenty mile outside course should 1* directed by the committee. This precaution is taken for fear the wary chieftain might escape at Fort Bowie, where his flight to the neighboring fountains would be easy, while should he elude his guards at Fort Bliss be could easily be captured in the open country. At the war department the idea of a civil trial for these Apaches is scouted. No witnesses -could be obtained to the numerous murders by these Indians because of the difficulty in obtaining positive evidence of guilt in individual asses of murder. Indians resemble eaeh other so much as to make identification of individuals difficult. Besides, in all but a few cases of murder, there were no living witnesses left; and more than this, most of the butcheries took place at night under cover of darkness. A court martial, therefore, is believed to be the only proper method of trial. This view is concurred in by the United States attorney for Arizona, who has telegraphed here, explaining tho difficulties likely to be encountered in a civil trial. The other Apaches—those already in the hands of the government and who were not an the warpath with Geronimo—will be sent to Fort Marion, Fla., at The "special delivery" stamp, too, is leas of a success than it was expected that it would be, and the sales of it in New York are now limited to about 600 a day. It is found that however brilliant may be the services it obtains in places where the ordinary local mail deliveries have been * customarily infrequent and slow, it does not shine conspicuously in New York, where the system is exceptionally gooid and weH carried out, without the "(pedal" impetus a blue tencent stamp. It does not expedite letters at all in transmission between mail points. That would be impracticable, unless the price of the stamp should be sufficiently large to send a messenger with each individual letter the moment it was dropped into mail care, which would be preposterous. It simply facilitates local delivery from the last mail point to which is sent the letter to which It is affixed, and that in New York is as expeditious as possible anyway. About all there is in the blue stamp's favor is that it Impresses upon the mind of the person getting It that his correspondent is probably in a hurry.  A Clergyman Hangs Himself. Dattow, O., Sept. 10,-p-J. 8. Gary Sc Co.% flour mills, and Cahill & Russell's ice houses, east of this city, were burned yesterday, and are a total lass. Many stacks of flu and much material was destroyed. It was partially Insured. The: loss cannot yet be approximated, but will be heavy. Continuous high pressure burst the Holly water main, two miles from the works, and the same distance from the scene of the conflagration, and no water could be got. The Water Works Burst. Chicago, Sept 10.—The Rev. Nels Rydoq, ex-pastor of the Swedish Methodist church Ik this city, was found hanging to a bedpost i» his room dead. Recently he was compelled to resign his pastorate on account of his liberal views on religion, which conflicted with the creed of the church as interpreted by his congregation. Then he took to drink, and a few days ago his wife left him. It is believed that be committed suicide when partly Intoxicated. About 4 o'clock a dense haze enveloped the boats, and made navigation without chart or compass mighty uncomfortable. It was 4:31:22, official time, when the Mayflower rounded the Scotland lightship, amid a volley of cheers, as Bret Harte would call it At that time nobody knew where the tGalatea was. Mayor Courtenay, in an address published to-day, earnestly urges the people to return to their houses rather than run the risk of disease. He says: I return this day to occupy the uninjured my brick house, and in all such cases where return to their homes is possible I earnestly invoke the immediate and united action of my fellow-citizens. Where immediate return is impossible, by reason of the dangerous oondltkm of the home, I recommend a temporary refuge in tbe interior of the state or elsewhere, or the hiring of some safe dwelling in the city, a number of which are to-day unoccupied. The next sixty days in Charleston should be busy days, in preparation for the winter. ' Whatever the discomforts may be under a roof, the penalties to follow a continued use of the present arrangements will make them endurable. What our people want is relief—immediate, permanent relief—from the terrible nervous strain to which they have been suddenly subjected, and which will certainly continue in the tent life which many are leading in the streets and public squares. A renewal of the home life of the city alone will restore bonfldemce, rest and quit Wheu the Mayflower started home before the wind, a score or so of steamers set up a monstrous howl to emphasize their good feeling, but before they were through their ovations were cut short by the wind dying out. Then the fog camo up. It was the worst fog that ever veteran salts in these waters had encountered in summer time.

He put a rat into each of the cages of the rattle and bull snakes, and they soon disposed of their game, but in the case of the king snake there was trouble.

Fort Watki, Ind., Sept 10.—Atthe boiler shops of the Kerr-Murray - Manufacturing company yesterday afternoon, four men were engaged in moving along on the floor a piece of wrought iron plate twenty feet in length and eighteen feet in height This piece of iron was being moved on its edge and got into position alongside of another piece of similar sixe. The other piece fell against it, causing both pieces to fall on their sides, crushing Fred Schust under them, causing instant death. Louis Miller was seriously Injured in the head; William Max badly hurt in the back, and it is feared his injuries will terminate fatally. The dead man was 24 years of age, and had been married but two months. Crashed by Boiler Iron. Washington, Sept. 10.—Train No. 58 on the Virginia Midland railroad ran into a landslide betwfen Lynchburg and Charlottecville and was wreaked. Dispatches from the railway servioe men and Superintendmt Dahney say that no passsvgers or railway clerks were injured. A fleet of tugs led the Mayflower from the rounding point, twenty miles to windward, until they lost her in the fog on the homestretch. It was evident that the Qalatea had piven up the race, and had headed in for Bay Ridge, and, like little Bo-Peep's sheep, nobody knew where to find her. Brooklyn Prohibitionist* Name Him for District Attorney. Hartford, Kept 10.—At the Republican state convention yesterday Senator O. H. Piatt was selected as chairman. Han. P. C. Lounsbury was nominated for governor on the first ballot Other nominations were made a* follows: For lieutenant governor, James L. Howard, of Hartford; for secretary of state, L. M.

Brooklyn, Sept 10.—The Brooklyn Prohibitionists held their county convention last night. Eighty-flve delegates were in attendance. Dr. I. K. Funk presided. The platform adopted by the city convention was indorsed. Col. William C. Beecher, a brother of the Plymouth pastor, was nominated for district attorney by acclamation. Blew Beans at Salvation Captains. Every one acknowledges the soundness of the advice, and yet it will be difficult to persuade people to follow it The horror of returning to the house in which one has experienced the shock of that awful Tuesday night can be realized by no'one who has not been through the ordeal. Fall River, Mass., Sept 10.—Officers Barker, Boron and Ferguson, of the police force, were suspended yesterday for fifteen days, for blowing beans across the street into the Salvation Army barracks two weeks ago. On the run home before the wind, the wind died out, and the Mayflower lagged behind. Night grew on, and the accompanying steamers headed for the point of Sandy Hook and home, leaving the Mayflower alone in her glory to be towed to the city. The convention then nominated Harv«y J. Warner for county auditor. He accepted. He is a merchant, 35 years of age, and a wellknown resident of the Eastern district. On the police boat Patrol, which accompanied the race, a select assemblage of political heavy weights were gathered, including Gen. Shaler, Judge Glldersleeve, Police Justice Powers and others. Dr. Lewis Grover accepted the nomination for coroner of the Eastern district and Dr. James Gerry the nomination for coroner of the Western district. Accuses the land League.

A Family Blessing. A very perplexing state of affairs exists with regard to the question of rent A large part of the houses in Charleston are owned by rich men, some of whom display a very marked indifferenoe to the coudi* Hon of- the property. On the part of tenants there is an indisposition—or, perhaps, it should be called an inability—to pay rents, and trouble in this direction is threatened. Applications have in instances already been made to the trial justices for writs of ejectment, although the number is very few, but these applications have in every instance been refused thus far. London, Sept 10.—The chairman of the Westport (Ireland) board of guardians, who was formerly a prominent member of the league, has accused the league of investing American contributions Instead of devoting them to the aid of evicted tenants. He asserts that the league shamefully rejected appeals to aid tenants in Gal way and Mayo, saying that tiMso people were fit only for emigration. ■ The Brakemen Succeeded. A resolution was adopted favoring a constitutional convention and calling upon the utate committee to take steps.to secure it Delegate Henderson, who opposed this, said it was a dig at prohibition. Yodngstown, O., Sept 10.—The strike of brakecnen and conductors in the yards of the Pittsburg and Western railroad has ended in a triumph for the strikers. Superintendent The boat on its return from the lightship nearly ran foul of the Merritt wrecking scow, which was run down off Sandy Hook yesterday.Johnson granted the conductor's demands, but refused the brakemen. The conductor* refused to continue work unless the bAkemen's demands were conceded. Superintendent Johnson came her* at noon and granted the brakemen's demand, and all the strikers returned to work. Nobody knows whfen the Mayflower finished her race at the lightship, but every one knows that she did not finish within the prescribed ■even hours. Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—Ed Carlin, who is held on the charge of being an escaped convict from Ohio, says his arrest is wholly unjustifiable. He was imprisoned there, he says, on oonviction of arson, but after serving five years was released under the Ohio law, which permits convicts to be paroled on good behavior. Such paroled men are required to report monthly to the state prison copimiwioners, and must not gtD outside the state. Carlin says he thought he would take a run to Philadelphia to see tome friends. He had no idea of running away. Now, however, he proposes to contest the right of the officers to take him back to Ohio, as he says that in two similar cases the courts have decided against the state. He says be was not guilty of the crime of which he was convicted. The warehouse at Mansfield where he was employed burned down at night, and as he was in the building it the time he was arrested. His employers tried to secure his release.  The Peculiar Case of Carlin. Ravaged by Cholera. Delicate diseases of either aez, however induoed, speedy and radically cured. Address in confidence, World's Dispensary Medical Association, Bc&lo, N. T. San Francisco, Sept lft-iA correspondent of The Bulletin, writing from Seoul, Corea, under date of Aug. 2, says that since July 25 from 267 to 497 persons have died daily from Asiatic cholera. From July IS to July 25 there were 3,140 deaths. Owing to a lack of coffins the dead bodies were wrapped in bagging. In many places the bodies had been unearthed and devoured by dogs and vultures.

Stanynought, the young man who shot himself last Tuesday, was married yesterday afternoon to Annie Olpherts, the young woman with whom he has been living. The wedding took place in the New York hospital, Where 8tanynought is still confined. The Rev. Bidwell Lane performed the ceremony. The young lady said that her husband worked on the Long Island railroad, notwithstanding reports to thj contrary, and that she went to live with him three months ago. She and her husband persist in the denial that the shooting was intentional She said that their families were old neighbors in Brooklyn and that Henry had pa'd her attention for four or five years. WILKES-BARRE. The steamer Empire State, with 800 excursionists accompanying the yachts, went ashore at 6:42 p. m. on False Hook, off Sandy Hook. There were nearly 800 people aboard, but no panic ensued, as the steamer struck gently. Some tugs came to her assistance and tried in vain to puH her off the sand. She Ilea in a dangerous position. The passengers were taken off by other boats after much delay and were landed, but had to walk acroa the Hook to the railway station, where t&ey waited until a late hour for a boat to be sent down tor them.

A Prison Guard Arrested. Haranac Ink, N. Y., Sept. 10.—The president, Dr. Ward, Col. Belo, Messrs. William Quincy Riddle, Charles F. Cutler, Architect John Jardine and Daniel W. Riddle, went deer hunting yesterday under the general supervision of the veteran guide Dave Cronk. Each man was stationed at one of the ponds in the vicinity. It had rained in the night and the weather was chilly. The hunters returned at noon without having secured any game. They found, however, that a doe which had been started by one of their dogs had been shot by young Mr. Harris, of Baltimore, at the Upper Saranac lake. Dr. Ward has had his boathouse photographed and Mr. and Mrs, Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom, who were there, appear in the picture. The president expects to be here about a week longer. Mm. Cleveland Has Another Picture. St. Paul, Sept. 10.—Deputy United States Marshal Bracket has arrested W. J. Glenn, at the workhouse, on a charge of being implicated in the Minneapolis postoffice robbery. For the last four months Glenn has been employed as a guard at the workhouse. The officials say the outlook for Glenn is dark, and that other parties are yet to be arrested. A train whs made up at Bandy Hook about II o'clock and took the passengers of the Empire State to Jersey City by the roundabout route of the New Jersey Central railroad. The Empire State is a Boston steamer. The steamer is badly listed and lies in such a position that a southeast wind would use her pretty severely. The life saving crew were promptly on hand, ready to render assistance, but their services were not required. There were many people from Boston on board the steamer, and they were much inconvenienced, having arranged to take the early evening trains for home and not being fully prepared for knocjrfng about all night. Tho many ladles on* board behaved ooolly, and as soon as they were assured of safety they expressed themselves as satisfied to stay on board indefinitely and seemed to take the accident as one of the ordinary incidents of an excursion. Washinoton, Sept. 10.—The following telegram has been received by Supervising Architect Bell, of the treasury department, from Inspector Speir, who was sent to Charleston, S.
