Fletcher, who for years has been one of Mr. Randall's ublest co-workers in Penn- sylvania, in conversation with a STAR reporter to-day said: “I regard the election of the democratic ticket in Pennsylvania as almost acertainty. Wolle, the probibition nominee for governor, is de- termined and aggressive candidate. ‘He will poll not less than 60,000 votes, and I would Rot be surprised to ‘vee his vole go above 80,000. Now, ordinarily, in a state election of this kind the’ republican majority is not over 30,000, So that if Wolfe poils 50,000 we are certain to carry the state. Why, he nominated himself once and carried over’ 40,000 Les! ‘Very ‘ew democrats will vote the prohibition Ucket.

Of course ex-Senator Wallace cordially supports the ticket. He is to good @ democrat to do otherwi Indiana Democrats. SENATOR VOORHEES CONFIDENT OF VICTORY IN THE “HOOSIER STATE, Senator Voorhees in conversation with a Stak reporter w-day expressed himself as con- fidentot democratic victory in Indiana, He said that the dissensions over congressional nominations might cost the democrats a dis- trlet or two, but that in all the internal contro- versies there is no disposition manitested by democrats to turn against their party. “The truth is,” he said, “there is such a feel- ing of contidené> in democratic success that there nas been 1 Competition to geton the licket. One of hardest fights we ever had was in 1874, when another democrat ran against Kerr for Congress. Each claimed to be @ better democrat than the other, and the iriends of each worked hard.

C., arrived in this city at 9 o'clock this morning. They were unable to leave Charleston until yesterday morning on account of the interruption in railroad com- munication, Mr, Thomas H. Tolson, of Balti- more, one of these passengers, gave toa STAR reporter an account of his experiences. “I was stopping at the Charleston hotel,” he said. ‘fhe evening preceding the earth- quake had been exceedingly warm and close. There was not @ breath of air stirring. The sky had o lurid appearance. Many people noticed and spoke of the stillness of theair. 1 had been sitting outdoors, oppo- site the hotel, talking with an old gentleman, and about 9:45 bade him good night, went over to the hotel and soon went to ny room, which was on the third floor trom the ground. When Iiit my gas—an extension burner, which you pulldown—I heard a noise and supposed I had broken something and made an Inspec- tion, but could find nothing broken, Then I went to piace my hat on a bureau, and Just then the shock caine, without any warning. I would have fallen if I had not thrown m; hands out andclung to the window. It seem as though THE HOTEL WAS LIFTED upand swung buckwarda and forwards a dis- tance of 15 or 20 inches at each vibration. I was terrified. At the very first shock the lights Ao the house all went out, and I was in perfect darkness. Then the plastering began to fall. It flashed on my mind that I should endeavor to gel out of tue house, and I got out into the cor- ridor and grouped my way, in utter darkness, amid falling plaster. Other people in the house were likewise groping their way out, When I reached the ground fluor I couldsee alittle trom the reflection from the street lights, The air was filled with plaster dust, Ail around was a terrible roaring and moaning sound, and the din was helghtened by the failing of t{mbers. I found the front door of the house closed, a ior. tunate thing for me, as it saved my Ife. It took me # moment to find the knob, and as I ‘was looking for it tons of brick tell down from the upper part of the house, in frontot the door. f Thad tound the door open I would have been buried under the bricks. “I ran out through the heaps of fallen bricks and fell twice in getting to the middle of the street. ‘There I REMAINED TERROR-STRICKEN. Twoshvcks came after I reached the middle of the street, one faint one seven minutes atter the first, and another, more violent than the second, nine ininutes later. The three shocks occurred within sixteen minutes, I remained in trout of the hotel for a long time—until one O'clock. Idid not know whut to do. Iwas so unnerved that I could scarcely stand. As it became quicter, no more shocks occurring, I wentup the street toan open spuce and re- mained there untit three o'clock. There we had another slight shock. At three o'clock I went to the Buttery park’ and found it crowded, several thousands of terrified people having assembled there. There 1 remained during the remainder of the wight. At five o'clock another faint shock was felt, AT DAYLIGHT I, like others, felt more encouraged, and I moved around to see what destruction had been done. Ifound at the Battery front some of the most costly houses in the city cracked from the ground to the top, and some portions of the buildings were de: vyed completely. All of the Charleston resideuces are built with rehes in front, maby huving substantial pil- rs, and these porches were ull thrown down, ‘There was not a house in Charleston that had its chimneys standing. ‘The terror among the people during the night was intense, ‘They rushed through the streets frantically, calling on God to have mecry on them, People, who perhaps never prayed be- fore, then prayed aloud. Then to this was added the shrieks of the wounded and the lamentations of those who had. lost irlends, Here and there parties with lights were looking Ubrough the ruins for the missing people.

A Colored Man Charged with At ing the Lives of Three People. Yesterday afternoon Detectives Carter and Mahon arrested Washington Monroe, alias Foster, colored, on suspicion of having pois- oned, on the 20th of August, Alice Thompson, Lavinia Cole and James Boston. It appears that the first named and Monroe had been living together at 337% Maryland avenue, and on the day named they hada fight and Alice drove him away. He asked if she was going to live with Jim Boston, and she sald “yes.” He then took a mattress and some chairs and moved them next door. Afterwards, as Boston and the two women named, were about to sit down to dinner, which Lavinia Norton was cooking, Monroe came in and asked the latter if the coffee had boiled. Alice says he took a cup and ared some coffee into itand then poured it Back into fhe yor When the coffee boiled it ‘was served. ston, who got the first cup, was taken sick and he ran over to Wooldridge’s drug store and procured an emetic. He is now very ill and will, itis thought, die. Dr. Crook thinks bis malady due to the poisoning. The two others were made very. sick, but will re- cover, Monroe is held pending an investiga- tion. ee The Called Three Per Cents. WHAT THE EFFECT WU.L BE ON THE BANKS IN THIS CITY. In regard to the question, which, as stated in yesterday’s STAR, has been referred to Acting ‘Attorney Generai Jenks, as to whether the na- tional banks are compelled to replace the three percent bonds Which have been deposited with the United States ‘I'reasury to secure their cireu- lation and which’are now being called in, with fours and fourand a half per cent bonds, a bank official in this clty said to a Sta reporter to- day: “Of course, it the banks are compelled to do this it will put them to quite slow, Bat f don’t thing that there is much use in fighting it, When the three per cents were issued the gov- ernment did not guarantee that they would not be subject to being called in. On the con- trary, this contingency was well understood, ‘nd’ those banks that cold their 4's and diya at the premium and replaced them with 3's at par, did so with this risk. It was thought by aby that thore would v6 a reduction in the tarlff and the receipts would not be sufficient to allow the bonds to be called iu for some years atleast. This bas not proved to be the case,and the only thing left tor the banks to do is either to reiinguish thelr elreulation or bay the bonds of ahigher rate of interest, premium, Theretare but fow oaks ta cis eityrenas will be affected, as only two or three hold the 8's, and then, again, the cireulation is not 80 as in cities lurther away trom the ‘Treasury partment.” ‘The Pension Office im Politics. ‘The democratic congressional committee have issued a campaign document entitled “ Repub- lean Abuses in the Pension Office.” Itis un derstood 10 comprise in a large part the evi- dence which Commissioner Black wanted to Plage before, the Senate commitice as the basis ‘of his charge that the burean had been used aanends.

What is Said at the War Department Regarding it. THE REPORT DISCREDITED THERE—GEN.MILES’ GOOD UNDERSTANDING WITH MEXICO—ILL FEELING BETWEEN THE MEXICAN AND AMERICAN TROOPS. The Acting Secretary of War this morning was inlined to doubt the truth of the reported fight between the Mexican and American ‘troops over the capture of Geronimo, The story could not be positively denied, though, as the department had no information whatever on the subject, Early this morning a dispatch was received from Gen. Miles concerning the removal of certain Indians. In this no men- tion 18 made of a fight, bat the circumstance Is necessarily significant, as the trouble might have occurred ater the dispatch was sent. However, it is said at the department that the ‘Mexican governor and Gen. Miles are on such good terms that it is not thoughttrouble would be apt to arise, FOLLOWING A “HOT” TRAIL. The American troops are permitted, under @ treaty which has been in force about four years, to cross the Mexican border after Indi- fans, provided the trail i “hot.” A “hot” trail, roperly speaking, is one not m ath Piro or three days old and inay be readily fol- lowed, but a very liberal constraction has been pla wn the term aud Indians are tollowed on a trail of almost any degree of “warmth.” BAD FEELING BETWEEN MEXICAN AND AMERICAN TROOPS, But there is not the best feeling between the Soldiers of the two countries. Already two collisions have occurred, the most important of which was when Captain Crawiord was killed. It is claimed by the American officers involved, that in each case the conflict was the willful act of the Mexicans and was not—could not be— the result of a mistake, as the Mexicans claimed itto be. At present an investigation is being made intoeach case, but no conciusion has been reached. GERONIMO A BIG PRIZE. Geronimo is a great prize toeapture and the trouble probably grows out of rivalry as to which troops should have the honor of cap- turing him. Geronimo's little band of Chira- cabuas are the only hostiles now ranging through the west. Under Chief Jua they were mueh more numerous than now. When Gen. Crook went against them many were captured, until now Geronimo is sald to have less than sixty in his band. Geronimo is # young man and was not parilcularly prominent until he succeeded Juu. He is the shrewdest and most alert chiet uot on the retired list. Being right on_the border he and his little band of rob- bers have Leen able to escape the soldiers of both the United states and Mexico by crossing first to one side of the line and then to the other, The Chiracahuas ure considered the ‘most iutelligent Indians of all the American tribes, and also the worst. They never work, but live entirely by murder plunder, ee CHARLESTON’S AFFLICTION. A List of Dead—The Surrounding Coun- try Cut Up With Fissures. The revised official list of those killed by the earthquake in Charleston contains thirty-six names, as follow: ‘White—Peter Powers, Mrs. C. Barber, Ainsley H.

Very few of the targer buildings in the city escaped injury of some Kind. The bullding of the chamber of commerce is badly damaged, a tion of the south and west walls having been throwe. down, and the’ buildings of Walker, Evans & Bogswell have aiso suffered, while the heavy granite slabs which formed the parapet of the News and Courier bullding lie upon the sidewalk, leaving the slave root and @ portion of the atte floor exposed. Almost the entire front of the building occupied by Myers’ cigar store aud Smith's stencil establish- ment fs torn out, leaving the upper floors e: posed, ‘The police station is almost 8 complete wreck. The city hall is cracked on the east wail, and the court-house building is badly damaged, the walls being cracked in several places, and portions of the roo! und gables belong thrown down, The worst wreck in the locality is St. Michael's church. The steeple seems to bo intuet, but It 1s out of plamband Is in moment ary danger of falling. The massive poreh has been wrenehod from the body of the chureh, and the building has been cracked in four places, GREAT CRACKS IN THE EARTH'S SURFACE, All over the city the Injury is of the same character. A special from Mount Pleasant, opposite Charleston, says that asink near the German church, which on Tuesday was_per- fectly dry sand, is now full of tresh water, Near Shell street «cabin occupied by a colored man, is complotely surrounded by chasms, extend ing through the earth's surface for ten feet and over. AU around this there are sinks of fresh Water aud masses of mud, with queer looking soft substances that have never been seen before. Just alter the first great shock on Tues- day night there was distinct smell of sul- phurie acid gas over the entire village. The Smell lasted throughout the night, aud was distinct in those localities where the cavities in the earth were most numerous. Some say that Portions of the mud thrown up by the water spouts are st u ‘nated with sulphur, tid that small portions ofsulphurean be found in the mud, Not tar from Charleston, on the road to Summerville, extensive mounds of clay were thrown ur, and hillocks of sand, in most cases in the shape of inverted cones, the hollow part of which had evidently been formed by the action of the water returning into the depths trom which it bad been raised. In many cases the erapted mutter had streamed away from the breaks in the surface Of the earth to a distance irom 20 to 50 feet. In Other places there were fissures almost in- variably extending from north to south, These cracks were not wide, and extended downward always in a slanting direction. ‘The moiter that was thrown .up was of a dull, dark slaty color, and was mixed with gravel, There was also a little shale, and, in general, the mud resembled that which is thrown irom, the bottom of the phosphate piles along the river, The waterin some places bad the taste Of our artesian water, but in many instances it was just as clear and limpid as from a moun- tain spring. ‘These evidences of the great con- vulsion are not sj ic; they extend far and near in every direction’ from the clty limits of Charleston to Summerville, at the Jatter place st was found, from trustworthy in- formation, teat the cracks and fissures are every where visible for miles and miles arouad.

ALBANY, Sept, 3.—Neither the democratic nor the republican party has yet made any noml- nations for Congress in this state, and no dis- trict conventions will be held until neg week.

The ‘most serious significance lies in the fact which is emphasized by the Vienna and Berlin Press that Alexander clearly regards himself as isolated and a victim of a combination of the three empires. In the face of this fact, It is useless for the English press to complain ot Alexander's acceptance ot the inevitable, and especially asour government has ueither the will nor the power to take the lead in the quos- tion, NOTHING CAN SAVE ALEXANDER, as the Constantinople correspondence of the Times points out, but a distinct declaration on the part of a great power friendly to Turkey that it would uphold his party’s polic Lord Iddesleigh cannot do because—t is no sympathy in second, he has given the first place In the ques- tion tothe German powers.

Fears of a Serious Parliamentary Cri- sis in the House of Commons. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR, Loxpos, Sept. 3.—Unless great care is taken a serious partiamentary crisis is imminent, The speaker is a very wutocratic gentleman, with high notions of his functions and distinet anti-Irish prejudices. He takes a much higher view of his authority than his predecessor, hav- ing stopped several Irish members for irrele- vancy and sharply and peremptorily silenced the temporary !eader of the opposition, Har- court. The general opinion is that Harcourt was within the right. ‘The indignation against the speaker, though suppressed, ls great. An ex-minister last night said: “The man is losing his bead.” (i. Dilwin, an old and much- respected liberal member, practically rebuked him. The Irishmen are determined to insist ‘on @ full discussion of the estimates. There- fore, if the speaker persists in his vigorous as- (on of his powers, a number of sharp parlia- mentary encounters is inevitable. Churchill's somewhat indiscreet and ill-tempered leader- ship adds another element of exasperation. Altogether, the prospect is not reassuring. sees eee A NEW HOME RULE SCHEME.

Two Slight Shocks Last Night—The Work of Rebuilding Beg: CHARLESTOS, 8. C., Sept. 3.—There is no spe- clal change in the situation this morning, but, as there were only two shocks, and very light ones, last night, there is a little more confidence than yesterday. The sympetuetic articles in newspapers and offers of aid from different quarters are a great encouragement to the Stricken people of Charleston. THE MOST URGENT NEED Now 4s for the early repair o! injured buildings so as wo make them habitable. High winds and heavy rain would bring many shattered build- ings to the ground and injure hundreds ot resi- denves having defective rool, It would be of service if corps of government engineers could be sent here at once to examine houses and other buildings and determine which of them can be safely occupied or allowed to stand.
