Gen. Weissert’s Successor as Com- mander-in-Chief of the G. A. R. At yesterday afternoon's session of the national encampment of the G. A. R. at Indianapolis, John B. Adams of Massachu- setts was chosen commander-in-chief, Colin Walker, of Indiana, vice commander and J.C. Biggs, of Texas, junior vice commander. The new commander-in-chief, J.B. Adams, or “Jack” Adams, as he {s called at home, is one of the most popular veterans In New England. For years he has been {dentified with the Grand Army as one of the most active and influential members of the de- partment of Massachusetts. In 1861, before he was twenty years of age, he enlisted as a private in the battalion which became the nucleus of the nineteenth Massachusetts. He served through the war, rising step by step to the rank of captain. When not disabled by wounds he partict- pated in every march and every battle of the Army of the Potomac in which his regi- ment took part. He is 4 member of Lander Post, of Lynn, Mass., the second in mem- bership in the country. He now holds the position of seargeant-at-arms of the Com- Mmonwealth of Massachusetts. He will be r-two years old in October. Next encampment goes to Pittsburg. There was no other applicant. The only report of interest during the ses- sion was that of Commander-in-chief Weis- sert, which was devoted almost entirely to ns. 1oMUSE critleising recent orders of the Inter- r Department, suspending pensfons, he said: “Action should be at once taken to | secure the reinstatement of all worthy vet- erans who have been dropped or suspended from the pension rolls."* ‘The report of Adjt. Gen. Gray showed the order had gained 56,368 members during the year. The total’ membership tn good standing io 397.23. ‘Ex-President Harrison's old regiment, the Seventieth, with brigade associates, held a meeting yesterday morning and elected Mr. Harrison president. ‘An episode occurred during the morning which is likely to cause a whole lot of trouble, ‘The Ladies of the G. A. R. are at swords points with the Women's Rellet Corps. About 4 o'clock Commander Blod- gett of the Chicago Post appeared at the door with four ladies, and Mr. Welssert i- vited them up, supposing they were relief corps women. One of them, Mrs. Sheriff, president of the Lailes of the G. A. R., made a bitter speach against the relief corps. Gov. McKinley's Address. Yesterday afternoon several speakers were billed for Armstrong Park, and ac- cordingly, about 3,300 G. A. R. men and thelr families went to the place, where they were forced to pay ten cents each before they could enter the park. This scemed hardly in keeping with a G. A. R. meeting, but old veterans sat down under trees and waited patiently. At last a chorus of shouts went up, and attention was called to the entrance. ‘Gov- ernor McKinley was coming, and every- thing was all right. Cheer after cheer greeted the Ohio governor. Mr. McKinley in part said: “T think no- body in this country has a better right to meet in this country than the Grand Army of the Republic, who preserved for us and all mankind the best and noblest. govern- ment on the face of the earth. To keep the United States forever is the business of the G. A. R. and everybody. No idif- ference what else they take away from us, they cannot deprive us of our patriot ism and love for the old flag. And we will fight for it just the same if they take away every pension from us.” Governor McKinley expressed regret when he learned that an admission had been charged, and he had been made use of to further a private scheme. Women’s Reliet Corps. At Park Church yesterday morning was held the eleventh annual convention of the ‘Women’s Relief Corps. The national prest- dent, Mrs. Margaret Wickens, submitted a lengthy report bemoaning the fact that the financial reports of the organization were not equal to the démand upon the exche- quer, ‘The effort to procure pensions for army nurses had progressed favorably, and ‘Tegislation. and. judicial decisions. of im- portance had been secured. Numerous recommendations were submitted by the president, one being that the corps, In or- der to receive the recognition that is due it from other women organizations, should goin the national council of the women, Carrie V.

Frank Carr and Charles Christian, who are under indictment for stealing the biue prints, gave testimony corroborative of Ashton's statements. Hotel clerks and waiters were callel to establish the fact of several secret mect- ings between the defendants, held tn the hotels at which the defendants had regis- tered under other names than their own. ecliith this the prosecution rested.

Father Kervick. The bride wore a traveling dress of gray cloth with bonnet to match. After the ceremony the newly ied couple drove at once to the rail- Toad station, intending to spend about ten days in New York. When they return they will reside at 1923 N street, where Gen. Armstrong and his daughter have for some time lived. Gen. Armstrong was captain in the army when the war broke out, but resigned, went south and served under Gen. Forrest. During the first administra- tion of President Cleveland he was made inspector of Indian affairs, but for the past four years has made his home In this city. Last April he was appointed assistant com- missioner of Indian affairs. His bride is the widow ot Lieut. McSherry of Balti- more and her maiden name was Combs. ‘The marriage of Rev. Chas. B.

Since last July the Baltimore has been under orders to_pro- ceed to China and it is stated at the Navy Department that these orders have not been altered. The Baltimore ts now at ‘Tompkinsville, Staten Island, taking on board ammunition for her cruise and she will depart thence in a day or two for the Mediterranean with directions to fo to China via the Suez canal and the Red sea.

This is against all the inter- ests of the profession. It may ruin the good name of the regular physician avd ho man should be convicted Without being heard. Mr. Hart closed his address with a consideration of the rules that should gov- ern the relations between consultancs and general practitioners. The former should never be allowed to see the patient except when the latter ts present. Only the prac- titloner should be allowed to make out the prescription. At the close of Mr. Hart's address, which was generally applauded, President Pepper made a few announcements and then Med- ical Director A. L. Gihon, U. 8. N., read in Spanish a proposed change in the rales of the congress, which Dr. Pepper had al- ready read in English. Dr. Gihon then read two resolutions from the section on hygiene, one demanding a suspension of immigration from cholera- infected countries and the other requesting @ reprint of Dr. Shakespeare's work on cholera for distribution among the various countries represented in the congress. Roth resolutions were referred to the Interna. tional executive committee und the meet- ing then adjourned until 11 o'clock tomor- row morning. Mr. Hart Criticised. There is no gainsaying the fact that the address of Mr. Hart before the medical con- gress this morning has created more than a Uttle sensation and feeling among the dele- gates to the body. Being an Englishman, Mr. Hart ts not a delegate to this Pan- American body, but delivered the address as @ guest. He ts one of the best known men in the profession in his own country, and 1s connected with the leading paper there, The British Medical Journal. He was present at the meeting of the medical asso- clation in Milwaukee in June, and the sug- gestion was made to him then that he wait over for the present congress. This he was unable to do, but he returned to this coun- try for the purpose of being here at this e. A prominent member of the congress said this morning that Mr. Hart informed them some time ago that he was coming, and that he was prepared to deliver an address before the congress on the subject of the ethics of the profession. He was asked to change his subject, as it was felt that it would be an tmpossibility for an English- man of such pronounced views to speak mn that subject here, where there is an altogether different feeling from that which prevails in England, without violating the canons of good taste. “And he certainly has violated the said this physician, “in his remarks about the homeopaths especially. That may £0 on the other side, but it doesn’t go here. I am afraid that people will think that what he bas had to say represents the sentiment of this body, but such Is certainly far from being the case. Still, I am afraid tt will make us appear in a very bad light.” Hard to Keep Down. Mr. Hart made some more talk after his Paper, when a resolution was brought up from the section on hygiene, urging a ces- sation of all immigration from cholera countries. Under the rules of the congress all such resolutions are referred to the in- ternational executive committee, to be by them sent back to the congress, if they see fit. Mr. Hart insisted on making some re- marks on the subject, and when Dr. Pepper told him they were out of order he moved the resolutions bs not sent to the com- mitiee. It was pretty hard to keep him down, but Dr. Pepper managed to do it without being compelled to remind him that he was not a member of the body, and 80 had no right to make a motion. Finally @ motion was made and carried that the resolution be sent to the committee, with in’tructions to return it tomorrow morning if possible, and this ended the scene and the morning session then adjourned. Some of the Foreign. Dr. Joaquin L, Duenas of Havana, Cuba, is a prominent specialist on diseases of children and an active member of the dif- ferent medical socteties of Cuba. He is one of the representatives of that country in the Pan-American medical congress. He read an interesting paper yesterday, “A Contribution to the Knowledge of Acute Primitive Entero-Colitis During Low In- fancy,” and also a paper entitled “Notes on the Feeding of Infants in the Island of nie Dr. Duenas is honorary secretary of the section on diseases of children and also the represntative of two leading medical jour- nals of Havana. Another well-known physician of Havana attending congress is Dr. Ramon L. Mi- randa, who has been honored by being chosen as Spanish speaking secretary. He is a member of different scientific associa- tions of Havana and New York and also president of the Spanish-American Benevo- lent Society of New York. By the last steamer from Hayti, which arrived at New York Sunday last, came Doetor V. L. Gilles and Doctor Augustus Comean, ‘delegates of the government of that republic to the Pan-American medical congress. These distinguished gentlemen represent the medical faculty of their coun- try. Thy received a hearty welcome from thelr colleagues. THE CURE OF DRUNKENNESS. lety Treated as a Disease—The ‘Treatment Outlined. ‘A paper read by Dr, C. H. Hughes of St Louis today before the section of mental and nervous diseases on “The Successful Management of Inebriety Without Secrecy in Therapeutics,” attracted considerable at- tention. Dr. Hughes commenced his paper by stating that the general professional consent and popular recognition of the fact that inebriety is a disease, are the results of the impressive and persistent efforts of the British and American associations and other medical societies having in view the cure of inebriety. ‘With the diffusion of knowledge among the people and their advisers, the general profession, and especially the family doc- tor, that ‘alcoholism and dipsomania are grave diseases, with graver physical and psychical sequelae, hope has dawned for the drunkard, and the prospect of the final ob- Iteration of inebriety and its terrible evils to the individual, the family and the state, brightens. Henceforth, the unfortunate victim of alcohol is to be cured and then reformed through the seeking of medical relief, and such as are not confirmed in baneful habits of intemperance will turn in time from the social tempter and avoid the neuropathic thraldom of this devil’s chain of evil tyranny. The Trouble in the Past about this blended vice and disease has been in the failure to seek, by suitable change of environment and proper medical treatment, that renovation and rebuila.ng of the dam- aged organtsm which makes resistance to alcoholic enslavement a possibility In the organism of the average habitual or periodic inebriate. That profession which has res- cued mankind from so many portentous evils after other resources have failed, is ready to succor him now from the thral- dom of damaged organism and psychical weakness and neuropathic instability. “The first essential to the cure of in- ebriety,” said Dr. Hughes, “is the substi- tution of a less harmful support to the shat- tered brain, nerves and damaged vital or- gans, than’ alcohol, and I name them in their order of preference. The morphias or oplum, strychina, the quinias and cincho- nias, ‘vale-lanates, cocas, the ammonium bromide, ete., ete. The ‘second and con- comitant essential is water—plenty of water or its equivalent, milk. The tissues must have water, the blood must have it, the emunctories and the skin must have it. The third and concomitant essential 1s rest. Normal nature tired prescribes It for evezy bodily or mental overtax. Exhausted the ravages of the great hurri:ane on the South Carolina coast. Secretary Lamont was anxious to send subsistence 1s we"), but he found that there was neither mcney or departure of trains from Washi nor stores available for this purpos?, abnormal nature always needs it and de- mands it often. The machinery of the hu- man organism’ in all {ts parts—psychical or physical—must be put at rest for the best repair. The fourth essential is the removal of the debris of the last and previous drunks and of the interim of organic tor- pldity and depressed vitality. The scaven- ger cells, diminished in number or absent as they are in toto from the blood, and the emunctories have fatled in their physlo- logically appointed work; the congested brain, liver, stomach, intestinal tract, mu- cous membranes generally, tozpid ‘liver, bowels and skin, are to be relieved and set at their proper work again. The 6fth and concomitant essential is reconstruction of the undoubtedly dam- aged cerebro-spinal centers and the several affected organs of vegetative life. A drunk- ard is more or less in many parts of his anatomy at the same time. He comes more nearly to being affected ali over in spots than most patients we have to treat. We begin reconstruction with the begin- ning of treatment. It begins with rest and sleep and food and change of surround- ings, when nature, without further aid, can effect it, rest, nutrition and phosphates, the hypophosphites and the reconstructive hae- matics and other rebuilders of the blood. ‘Milk, beef-tea and capsicum and other stomachics. Early in the treatment a hair of the dog that bit him—a milk-punch or egg- nog, egg phosphates flavored with wine or whisky, the latter soon withdrawn. In this stage the wines of coca, the beef, wine, iron d_ strychnine compounds, calisaya’ cor- dials, egg phosphates and stimulant tonics, are temporarily admissible. ‘When the patient is cured of his recent attack of delerium tremens, or recuperated from his last debauch, then'the hypodermic medication that is to hold him from further relapse, to re-tone his system and break hhn of bis taste, must be instituted, if we have not begun it sooner. The sixth and final essential, to which all our previous efforts lead us, is destruction of the drink craving, and this is dong on physiological principles. The drink craving is pathological perversion of physiological cell action, and les in the realm of the cerebral cortex. This part of our subject belongs to psychiatry and psychical sug- gestion, effected by a therapy di-ected to these morbidly acting centers of the brain, accomplishes our purpose. When the drink craving comes on, having in the meantime rebuilt the shattered brain and nervous system and restored the mental tone as much as possible, we do not absolutely in- hibit the use of the accustomed drink, but train the drink victim’s own inhibitions, first, by suggestion; second, by moderate indulgence properly treated. We do not say, “You shall not, but you had better not drink. You know it is pol- son to you and you are its slave. You should resist. Your treatment has made you strong. You can resist. Whisky no longer tastes as good to you. You no long- er need ft. You have the power now and should assert your manhood,” and with these suggestions, perhaps the victim will try the liquor, we give him spiritus fru- menti cum vin! antimonii, and repeat a4 Ubitum, or we have previously given him apomorphia_ with aurum bichloride for psychical effect. Under this or similar management of the appetite, the victim acquires a disgust for his favorite drink, he discovers his inhibi- tion of the propensity is strengthened, and a disgust supplants the taste, which abides till he fs fully restored in gerve tone and power to permanently resist and assert his manhood and’ maintain it against all fu- ture assaults of the foe. HYPNOTISM AND CRIME. Dr. Valentine Declares Hypnotism Should Have no Legal Status. An interesting paper was read today be- fore the section on diseases of the mind and nervous system at the Arlington Hotel by Dr. Ferd C. Valentine of New York, his subject being, “Hypnotism. Does It Men- e Public Weal?” Dr. Valentine referred, he said, to cases that came to the notice of physicians where moral offences were committed and the excuse was “I was hyp- notised.” If this exculpation s to become valid in law there will, he argued, be no crime for which the offender can be held responsible. Alf hypnotisers acknowledge that first attempts at inducing the hyp- notic state are either futile or produce only slight drowsiness, and it is necessary with people of average mental balance to repeat and repeat the experience until the subject has been trained. This being acknowledged by all hypnotisers, he said, It seemed in- solent mendacity for a woman to assert that she unwittingly became a transgressor against those morals that are the essential basis upon which the whole social scheme of civilization is unequivocally built. It 1s safe to say, he continued, that hyp- notism 1s no excuse for a wrong which the very essentials to hypnotism prove deliber- ate and intential premeditation. Any one able to distinguish right from wrong is con- sequently responsible for yielding his Volition to that of another, and is equally responsible for acts committed and deeds done while under the alleged hypnotic in- fluence. The subject is invariably a vol- untary one. That he is never involuntarily a subject is shown by a search in reliable Uterature on the matter, which nowhere produces the records of ‘a person hypno- tised during normal sleep, during alcoholic intoxication or in the torpor induced by anaesthetics or otherwise. It is beyond dispute, continued the doc- tor, that under what for convenience sake is called the hypnotic state people may be induced, to do absurd things, but in all cases It is safe to deny tha any subject, no matter how well trained, would be caus- ed to commit while in the hypnotic state any deed which the law castigates. There are fewer and less marvelous hypnotic re- sults in America than are obtained in Eu- rope. He thought perhaps the pursuit of the almighty dollar kept possible subjects from pursuing ideals, because the Ameri- can is less trained to obedience. ‘After referring to the exhibitions of mes- meric or hypnotic showmen, with their paid subjects, Dr. Valentine said: It is by no means intended to convey that all hypnotizers and their subjects are frauds. This would be a sad and unjust reflection upon honest scientists who work earnestly for the benefit of sufforiag hu- manity. Mild lunatics are perhaps con- trolled by the hypnotic influence; hysterical patients are cured by it of their imaginary ills; some drunkards may have acquired an aversion to liquor through {t—if these re- sults circumscribe the powers of hypnot- ism, its benefits are incalculable. Doubtless its powers, as Its limitations, will be event- ually better defined. But ecforts recently made to introduce hypnotism 4s a factor in the exculpation from punishment for crime is a danger not only to the com- munity as such but} also to the advance of hypnotic study. While hypnotism tx yet young it is naturally a field for unscrupu- jous farsants or worse, but that they are mountebanks will remain difficult to prove, as long as willing subjects can be found. And while people are mercenary or covet- ous of applause or desirous of provoking wonder, so long will subjects seek the showman and difport themselves—iecently or otherwise, as {s their bent. It is beyond doubt that a majority of these “subjects” belleve themselves entitled to the wonder, admiration or disgust of the caping crowds, at so many cents or shillings per head. To briefly recapitulate: 1. The therapeu- tic possibilities of hypnotism are not de- nied. A patient who persuades himself, or is persuaded, that he can be cured by ‘the hypnatic influence, Is as well or better cured than by drugs or appliances that do not appeal to his view of the case. 2. The hypnotic state <nould never be allowed a status in law or morals. While tt ts certainly better that a hundred rogues escape than that an innocent being be pun- ished, there ts no human mind concetvable that can be induced by hypnotic sugees- tion to do what its owner knows to be wrong. Those “moral defectives” who can- not distinguish right from wrong are proper subjects for the insane asylum. ‘Many more propositions could be adduced, put If the above are established hypnotism will have its status defined and thus will be deprived of all power for evil. It must be clearly understood that no one can be hypnotized without his own fullest con- sent and co-operation, consequently any law of the land or even unwritten code of morals violated while unter the alleged ‘{nfluence” is as punishable if com- mitted In full independent possession of the mental faculties. With this view every- where accepted and establisned hypnotist will no longer be a menace to public weal.” Immigration and Cholera, ‘The meeting of the section on hygiene, climatology and demography yesterday af- ternoon wat given up tn part to a discus- sion of sanitary precautions tn cities. Dr. Rouck, Dr. Stewart of Baltimore, Dr. Shakespeare of Philadelphia, Dr. Cyrus Edson of New York, and other well-known physicians took part in a debate on a reso- lution offered by Dr. Rouck, recommending that all immigration be suspended from ports in which cholera prevails. Finally a committee of three, consisting of Drs. Shakespeare, Edson and Lee, was appointed to draft the resolution In a form that would be acceptable. ‘The resolution as reported by, this committee and adopted declared: “That it is the sentiment of this section that in view of the prevalence of Asiatic cholera in Europe at the present time and the constantly increasing number of foci of infection, tmmigration from European untries in which cholera exists should be mporarily suspended, as this action af- fords, in our opinion, the only certain meant of averting a threatened invasion by the dis ease of the countries of the American con- tinent,”” and That the resolution be reported to the general session of the Pan-American medi- cal congress with a request for its adop- Hon and speedy transmission to the execu- ves e several countries meric er officially rep- Edson, in the course of bis remarks, guid that he believed it to matn- tain @ successful quarantine Asia cholera, and the only was suspen- sion of immigration.

President Pepper of the Pan-American Medical congress delivered his presidential address according to program at Metzerott's Music Hall last night. He had a large au- dience, which included many who do not write M. D. after their names. Following the nape red ae concert and General reception. Dr. Pepper was ac ~ hied on the platform bya number of the honorary presidents of sections and dis- tinguished delegates. He was introduced by Dr. 8. S. Adams, chairman of the Jocal committee. His ad@ress was so vigorously applauded at its close that he was compelled to make @ few additional remarks. In the course of his remarks Dr. said: “This congress mects at a period of Peculiar and critical interest in medical education, and I am glad to say that for the first time in the medical history of the United States we may feel proud to have such a convened here, and to in- vite a close examination of our educational standards and facilities. I should fail in courtesy and in candor alike were I not to acknowledge the value of the example which has been so consistently set by Latin America and by Canada in the maintenance of a high standard of qualifications for med- feql practitioners. “Fifteen years ago the medical profession of the United States arraigned severely the management of their over-numerous medl- cal schools. “There have been many wholesome reforms since that a and"much beneficial - ition to rectify those shortcomings, and it has been done without governmental aid. This has been with a high sense of duty and devotion to science on the part of medi- cal faculties. “A broad field opens before us for the study, with the aid of collective investiga- tion, of the distribution and course of phthisis and rheumatism and other im- it diseases as influenced by race and ity. The endemic fevers, other than malarial and typhoid and yellow fever, which are said to prevail in various parts of North and South America, have long demanded systematic investigation to com- Piste the study which the illustrious Drake began. We shall now have the opportunity studying equally, by means investigation, the relative effects of various climates on the numer us races now repre- sented in America, and of more accurately the scientific and ves- tions connected with our extensive series of health resorts. which embrace the finest examples of every type.” The Marine Band rendered an attractive Program after the address, and refresh- ™ents were served in the rehearsal hall, Received by the President.

The Baltimore and" Bay Ridge steamer Columbia is in port. She is here to run an excursion on the Potomac this evening for the Pan-American medical congress. She is said to be the largest sidewheeler south of New York. She is licensed to carry 4,00 people and can run eighteen miles per hour without scorching herself. She made the trip from Baltimore in a leisurely sort of way in thirteen hours. Her officers are as follows: Captain, John Thomas; first officer, Dick Richardson; sec- ond officer, Killman; pilot, John Roberts; chief engineer, Parsels; assistant engineer, Mewer; quartermasters, Keen and Alex- ander; steward, Jordon; electrician, Rey- nolds; oller, Davis. The local pilot who brought her around is John E. Carpenter, late of the steamer George Leary, and brother to First Officer Carpenter of the meg hyp | The officers were last e guests of Capt. William of the Samuel J. Pents. Tacit es During today’s session of the section de- voted to the diseases of children Dr. J. Gardner Smith of New York read an in- teresting paper entitled “Physical Train- ing of School Children.” The physical training of school children, said Dr. Smith, ts an almost imperative Necessity, from the fact that the world needs strong, healthy men and women. Such an end was one of the great objects of the present medical congress. The sub- ject dealt with boys and girls from five to twenty years of age. Unfortunately, in far too many instances the subject is neglected or lost sight of. While the need of physical training is most apparent the fact is forgotten that the voluntary mus- cles contain one-fourth of the blood in the body, and that through their activity a Proportion of the potential forces of the body is changed into work and heat. This potential energy, said Dr. Smith, stimulated the Referring to the faulty sitting and standing positions so generally observed in school children, their awkward gait and difficulty in breathing when speaking and singing, be said they needed only to be noted to emphasize the necessity of -physical training. Dr. Smith indorsed both the kindergarten and manual training systems, but contended that never- theless there was great need of a more educative and recreative system. That ‘such a system was needed was shown by ‘the statement that an examination of 2,000 school children in New York showed a chest expansion of less than one inch, which measurement was nearly doubled eight months’ 1 training. after get mouxplained Dr. Smith, have on arbitrary ‘system of progression and the Germans & system of gymnastics. ‘popular In America he urged that there should be an American system, culling the best of both systems and, basing it upon sound physiological principles. colleges and Y. M. C. associations of the country were working on such a line, But the method must, of course, vary somewhat in different cities. The supervisor of physical training, said the doctor, should be a person pos- sessed of a medical education and thor- oughly familiar with all forms of gymnast- tes. To properly adapt the exercises to the needs of the children, they should first be examined with great care. Furthermore, the sex of the children, the condition of the school buildings and the gymnastic appa- ratus should carefully be considered. The system should comprise training in sitting and standing positions, breathing, march- ing, walking, calisthenics, light and heavy gymnastics and games. The exercises should be graded as respects difficulty and strength to the various grades of instruction, run- ning from the primary school to the very highest. conclusion, Dr. Smith eloquently urged upon the medical profession the great tm- portance of such a system of physical train- ing for school children, and besought them to do all in their power to further such an end. —ae . w Penalties Removed. Mr. Malster, president of the Columbian tron works pf Baltimore, has applied to the Secretary of the Navy for remission of pen- alties on the cruiser Detroit, amounting to $15,000, on the general ground that the de- lay in the completion of the vessel was due to the action of the department in making changes in her plans. ————o+—___—_ Light Houses Damaged. = Reports received at the Treasury Depart- ment show that nearly every light house or station on the coast of South Carolina was damaged during the recent storm. It 1s, therefore. probable that the light house board will ask Congress to make a special appropriation for immediate repairs. For- | tunately the damage did not extend above Hatteras. The lights in the Chesapeake bay, the light house board reports, stood the severe gale admirably, and of the great | number none were seriously damaged. Re-— ports have not been received from some of the remote stations tn the south, but it is not believed any of the lights except those near Charleston have sustained much dam- age. ———_+-e+__—_. ‘The ¢ Book.
