A Blessing In Disguise,
It is estimated that no less than $3,'
500,000 has been spent iu tho rcstortv
tion and improvement of Charleston
sinco tho earthnuako of a year ago,
and there aro many who claim that
. 1- j . ,.lr ... .1! !
mo iiiHiisiur was a uienaing in uittguiae.
Too couiidonco ot business men in
tho futuro of tho olty is stronger than
over before and tho shaking seems to
liavo settled it moro firmly and at thn
same tirao to havo awakened a spirit
of ontcrpriso that had been dormant
tor many years.
Charleston now dates all things from
tho earthquake, and tho phrase "befaw
tho wall'' has been well nlch forgotten.
Tho city has been brooding long
onongu over tho dopartcd greatness of
ante-bellum days and tho bitter memor
ies of tho ruin and humiliation that
followed defeat ; and some rudo shook
was needed to arouse her to a reahza
tion ot tlit) fact that tho nation was
marching on and alio must kcop step.
With tho New South booming it was
high time that Charleston should wako
up and tako the lend.

A Monster Meteor.
A Bangor, (Mo.) special dispatch to

follows : "People in this sectiou who

Washington. D. 0., Bcpt. 10, 1887.
Tho nnmorous military bodies deck
ed In tho brightest and gayest of uni
forms that dally parade tho streets ot
tho jCapitnl to tho thrilling notes of
martial mtislo, vividly recall tho scones
of Inst summer's drill, and remind ono
that theso soldier boys aro returning
from a great and glorious pageant, sco
ond only in magnitudo and importance
to that other Centennial of America's
progress and triumph', celebrated with
so much eclat and enthusiasm cloven
years ago In tho same City ol Brother
ly Love, which has just rojoiend in tho
commemoration of tho Contcnmal of
tho Constitution of tho United States
that wonderful instrument of patri
otic inspiration, destined to stand for
all time as tho masterpleco of tho
world's wisdom and statecraft, nnd as
tho rock npon which rests tho greatest
of Republics.
And hero I will writo of a really ro
mnrkablo, coincidence In this connect
ion indeed, almost as much so as tho
death of tho illustrious Jefferson fifty
years to a day after ho had signed tho
immortal declaration that won his most
famous distinction1 and that Is the
death in this city of his last grand
daughter, Mrs. Septimn Randolph
Meikleham, on tho very day that tho
celebration of tho Constitutional Cen
tennial began. This aged lady bore a
striking rcsemblauco to tho great sago
and patriot who was tho founder of
tho Democratio party, and oho had dis
tinct personal recollections of her hon
ored ancestor's appearanoa and conver
sation. She leaves threo children a
son and two daughters tho eldest of
tho latter, Miss Alico, holding a small
clerkship in tho Patent Office, which is
tho wholo support of tho family, tho
Bon boing a hopeless invalid.
Tho resignation of Ex-Gov. Porter
as Assistant Secretary of Stato and the
appointment of his successor continue
to bo topics of discussion among tho
politicians. There appears to bo every
reason to beliovo that Mr. Bayard and
Mr. Porter wero at variance on sever
al questions of publio policy that, in
fact, Iho latter was too much disposed
to assort himself in affairs of Stato.
Among those mentioned for tho suc
cession aro Congressman Belmont, of
N. J., Chairman of tho Committeo on
Foreign Affairs in tho Forty-Ninth
Congress, and ox-Congrcssman Cox, of
N. C., who was Chairman of tho Com
mitteo on Civil Service in tho same
body. It is said that Mr. Bayard re
gards tho latter tho most favorably,
on account of his administration of tho
North Carolina statesman's progress
ive courso on Civil Servioo reform, and
also his possession of considerable
wealth an important factor in a di
plomatic position. Mr. Belmont also
has wealth to back him, and he is not
without experience in mattors of di
plomacy. It is understood that the
Secretary claims the right to select his
assistant.
To a distinguished Southerner, who
a few days sinco called upon tho Presi
dent to urge the appointmont of ono
of bis constituents to the Supremo
Court vacancy, Mr. Cleveland stated
that be bad already mado tho selection
and did not suppose he would have
reason to change it, and although no
name was called, tho visitor, from sub
sequent remarks, was firmly impressed
with the opinion that the judicial man
tle would grace the shoulders of Sec
retary Lamar.
The roport of the Secretary of the
Interior, in response to the demand of
tho select Committee ot the Senate, of
wbicb Mr. Uockrell is chairman, makes
a volumo of 490 pages, printed in
small type, and gives a detailed state
ment of the amount and character of
business transacted in tho department
ana tno methods ot conducting the
same. It also shows that there are
9154 employes of the department of
which number 411 aro Presidential and
the remainder deparmental appointees.
A similar report shows that thoro aro

Wreok Hear Uantiooke.
About 4 o'clock Monday afternoon a
disastrous wreck occurred on the north
and west branoh of the Pennsylvania
ivauroau at a point near the small sta
tion known as Retreat, about midway
between Macanaqua and Nanticoke,
and about seventeen miles from Wilkes
barre. Between Macanaqua and Nan-
licoKo ino road is only a single track,
and two freight trains running in oppo
site directions at a speed of about
twenty-fivo mileann hour collided. A
freight train was coming up tho road
in two sections about fivo miles apart.
The first section passed Nanticoke all
right, and a down froight which had
been standing in tho yards there at
once puueti out and started down the
road, meeting the upcoming train as
auove stated.
The trains collided with fearful
violenoe, the engines crashing into each
oiner, roarea up on end and tell over
to one side, completely wrecked, tho
freight cars piling on top of the engines
and smashed themselves to pieces. The
fire in tho furuaccH soon communicated
to the wreck and tho wholo vast pile
was soon blazing fiercely, the fury of
me lire uoing augmented by tho con
tents of two oil cars in one of the
trains.
A now featuro of horror was added
to tho scono 'On ono of tho trains was
four cats loaded with gunpowder, pack
ed in twcnty-live-pound cans, and in n
few minutes tho flames reached them.
The powder exploded with a violence
that shook tho hills like an earthnuako.
Tno report was heard in Wilkesbarre,
seventeen miles away. Everything
near ino soeno ol the wreck was blown
to pieces. Masses of blazing timbors
wero hurled half a mile away. Trees
in tho vicinity were uprooted nnd some
of them thrown into the river, fivo hun
dred yards distant, while after tho ex
plosion the scattered wreck burned
more fiercely than ever.
Hundreds of people had by this
time reached tbo scene, and a desner
ato effort was made to savo ono unfor
tunato roan, Louis Metz, a brakeman,
who had been wedged in the wreckage
and who seemed doomed to n horrible
death, for tho tlanips wero rapidly ap
proaching him. A bucket lino three
hundred feet long was formed and the
flames held in check until ho was re
leased, but it was found that both his
logs wero broken, ono hip smnhed mid
one arm crushed. He died Monday
oveuiug.
All the other mon on the train lonii
I od before tho crash, and all oxcept two
escaped with slight injuries. Llwood
Swank had n hip dislocated and was
, burned by tho powder explosions and
James Keen was terribly cut about the
head and had ono arm broken. Both
will probably die. Tho total loss to
tho railroad company is csllmatod at
$80,000.
The Oontennlah
tt is estimated that fully half a mil
lion strangers wero within tho gates of
Philadelphia last week, celebrating tho
ono hundredth nniilvcrsary of our Con
Btitutlon. Every thiug was In holiday
attire.
Tho monstor oivlo and industrial pa
rado started from Broad and Dauphin
stroets shortly alter ton o'clock, Thurs
day morning. Tho parndo was divid
ed into twenty-threo divisions. Tho
honor of leading the first division was
given to tho Patriot.io Sons of America
who presented a beautiful display.
There were in tho lino 300 floats, each
bearing a representation of somo par
ticular branch of Industry, 20,000, men,
about 2,200 horses, and 150 bands of
music
President and Mrs. Cleveland, ac
companied by Secretary Bayard and
Mr. and Mrs. Lamont, arrived at eight
o'clock in tho evening from Washing
ton, in n special car. They were met
at Wilmington by tho reception com
mittee, nnd the city troop escorted them
to tho Lnfayttto Ho' el. Governor
Beaver gavo a reception in tho even
ing at tho Academy of Fino Arts, at
which many distinguished people wero
present, including tbo presidential
party.
Tho military parndo of Friday was
marked by a pomp nnd splendor uti
equnled s'uico tho victorious armies of
tho Union marched in review at Wash
ington upon their return from tho war.
It was n most fitting celebration of tho
Constitutional Centennial, and brought
to a worthy end tho spcctaoular feat
ures of tho occasion. It was impress
ive, also, as n gathering of troops from
States which had formerly been at war
but which are now happily icunited.
There were 20,325 mon in lino. Tho
president roviowed tho parado from tho
reviowing stand.
The crowning event of tho .social
part of tho Constitutional Centennial
celebration was tho reception of tho
distinguished visitors and citizens and
ladies of Pennsylvania and tho differ
ent States by President and Mrs.
Cleveland in the Academy of Musio on
Friday night. A tremendous crowd
was present.
The culminating ovents of tho Cen
tennial took place on Saturday, and
closed the grand occasion. At 11
o'clock in tho forenoon exeroiscs wero

of an address by tho President of tho
United States, remarks by Mr. Kasson,
ohairman of tho Ceutdnnial committeo,
a formal address by Justico Miller of

mental music, and appropriate religious
oxcroises. There could not have been

Academy of Music whero toasts
wero drunk and speeches made. When
