Tbe Ueuth I.lHt Mav Reach i.ooo -Neailjr 400 Bodies Already Kccovcted A Hlssluic Steamer Comes In Vuharined-Ubastly Pictures. BiiAUi'OKT, S. C. Sept. 1. Over 3JO dead bodies liavc been found on the islands about Jieuufort and IY-rt Koyal Over $2,000,000 worth of property has been wrecked near the same points, lioth are the direct result of the revere storm which swept along the Atlantic coast Sunday night. Every one of the 15 or 20 islands lying arouud Port Koyal and Beaufort are steeped in sorrow. On every door kn-jb there is a bunch of crepe aud upon every hill side there are fresh made graves some air;auy mica, wmic otners are awaiting the bodies that will be de posited in them just as soon as some one can be found to do the christian act of shoveling the dirt upon the colli n. The beaches, the undergrowth trees and shrubbery, the marshes and the inlets are turning up new dead bodies every time an investigation is made. Of the many disasters and devasta tions which have visited this section of the country, none have been half as horrible as those which came Sunday. Those who arc informed about the country and the habits of. the people in the storm visited sections are confident in their predictions that the death roll will run up as high as GOO. Some even place the loss at 1,000. There has not been an hour of any day since the early hours of Monday morninjr that a dead body has not been found at some point on one of the many islands. As the waters recede and the people move deeper into the wreckage gathered by the storm, the iihastlv pictures are un covered. It is around Ueautort and Port Koyal that the death rate was the greatest but in neither of the towns were many lives lost. Coi.i MiiiA, S. C. Sept. 1.

Ten bloated bodies of victims of Sunday's cyclone were discovered in a drift 1-t miles from Jacksonville this morning. The bodies were almost nude and could not be identified. The damsige to fruit trees and orange groves ia enormous. In many cases the trees were stripped of every vestige of leaves and fruit. Wires arc nearly all down in every direction.

Cleveland, their daughter Kuth and a nurse and maid, arrived iu Washington this morning at 4:00 from Buzzard's Bay, Mass., over the Pennsylvania rail road in a special car attached to the train which ieft New York at O o'clock last night.

Cleve land, in particular, was in excellent spir its and his eyes were bright and com plexion clear, and he looked vigorous and strong. Mr. Cleveland s first day at tlu White House after his absence at the seashore was spent in the hardest of work. After breakfast the President went to hisolliee and from half past nine until halt past eleven o'clock he and Private Secretary Thuibcr disposed of a verv lartre amount of accumulated public business. At half past eleven the cabinet meeting began mU lasted until one o'clock. All the cab inet officers were present except Secre tary Smith.

Scuud the timbrel, toot the ram's horn, 'tis great news we've got today; iiews of import deep and thrilling of the kind to lay away. Read yourself and well digest it, keep it wrapped up in your mind, then go forth a missionary, tell each neighbor you can find. For it's rare, and no mistaking, tho'.likc SUeba's iiueen of old, you will vow when you have seen it, that to vou half was not told. King the fire bell, call the police (if the police "totes" 110 fife), for you'll laugh both long and hearty hearty as e'er within your life. What? The news? Why, most assuredly, haven't you heard it mentioned yet ? Haven't you had the tempting offer: "I've an X I'd like to bet"? livcrvbody '11 talk about it; rich men, poor men, tramps as well ; short men, long men, white men, black men all this storv '11 have to tell: "Henry" Pcnland will nlfiv baseball: save your luugs for one long shout he will surely prove a Mascot, and will knock balls inside out. lie has now a broken linger, but of that he wotteth not, so he has a chance to hat 'cm from Bee Tree to Turkey Trot, Out of Hun combe into Yancey he declares he'll I nock the sphere if he does the earth will tremble from the grand stand's mighty cheer. Then McLoud will do the pitching, with "Sis" Merrimon as relief; ain't it certain that the Stonemcti will be "dovvn'd" beyond belief? And to make things doubly certain Doctor Grant is going to catch; if the liiltmore ''boys" can beat us they must quickly come to scratch. Anyway there'll be a con test such as ne'er was seen before and theclubthat wins the pennant may be champions evermore. All this sport begins on Mon day, 1 o'clock at Carrier's track, with the Labor day athletics, aud the grand stand you should pack. There are 20 events on the program, there'll be a half day full of fun, and as 'tis for the hospital tiiven. the neonle should go, every one. a gijni im; (Titntj; BXeu Object To n KciltscUau prom Si To o Ct'iim. The new cotton factory being erected by the Graham Manufacturing com pany near the passenger depot has just passed through a strike that, while it lasted, was about as stubborn as strik ;s ever are. Work had been sus pended 011 the building for a time, but a few days ago it was resumed. The un skilled laborers were paid $1 a day. It was deeided bv the company to reduce the wages to 90 cents and the men were so informed, and the strike was the re sult. The laborers said thev would not work under the reduction and the com pany as firmly declared that the reduc tion must stand. It is said that some of the strikers made threats that new men should not go to work on the build ing. But new men were put on at 00 cents by Mr. Valentine, who represents Mr. Graham in that gentleman's absence from the city, and work is now progress ing. One ot the strikers, a carpenter named Jones, was assaulted, it is said, while passing along Southside avenue a few nights ago. His assailant is unknown, but it is thought the nss:.ult was the outcome of some offensive lcnruks ut tered by Jones to some of the uieti who took the strikers' places.
