The merchants, factors and business men
generally of Charleston have an c.vceeding
]y fanny idea of business enterprise. They
seem to think that because Charleston is
the metropolis of the State all trade of the
State must centre there, no matter what
terms she makes, or -whether or not any
effort is made to secure that trade. -\o
people talk more about what to do to secure
prosperity, and none do less than the
Charlestonians.
Charleston must depend on the cotton
and rice and naval stores she handles for
prosperity: these arc the staples of this and
adjoining States. To handle these goods it is
necessary to reach out into the producing
districts, and oiler the farmer and planters
cinrl 11 (%:>? onJS ns will nrovr; Tn them
that the Charleston market is second to
none. Does Charleston do this?
About cotton, the first staple of the three:
In days that have gone by Charleston was
onv of the cotton centres of the world,
handling more of the fleecy stuff than both
Savannah and Wilmington -. this season
there is hardly any doubt that Savannah
and Wilmington together v.-ill handle four
bales to Charleston's one. And the cause
of this lies at Charleston's own door. For
the past several years she has seer, the trade
slipping through her lingers, but not once
has she taken a politic step to arrest the
High! of the goose that lays the golden egg.
During the tine that Charleston has been
losing cotton her sister cities have been
gaining it. Would you knew why? Here
is a condensed tale of three cities: During
the past ten years, more than ever, it has
dawned on the South that "competition is
the life of trade." Wilmington and Savannah
have gone into it heartily, but somehow
the tiring seems too. rich for Charleston's
blood. "The former cities have striven
to keep the expense charges per bale at the
lowest pos>ibie rate; tb'j latter e: y lias neld
expenses at .what the shipper would bear.
Savannah makes terms with the steamships;
Charleston growls about unjust discriminations.
Wilmington and Savannah control
the main lines of railroad leauing into
Charleston, and while they were securing
these reads, over which the cotton must be
hauled, Charleston built a bigb-idge across
to the cabbage patches of St. Andrew's
parish, an 1 is now agitated over the building
of a railroad nearly a mile long to run
along the Cooper River ^vater front, and
which must depend on railroads owned by
Isorth Carolina and Georgia for every
pound of in-coming freight hauled. The
competing cities have secured to themselves
the "inland facilities" while Charleston h:;s
been sweating about "terminal facilities."
Wilmington and Savannah cotton buyers
are scattered all over what should be
Charleston's territory, doing a good business,
while the Charleston buyer sits in his
oiiice on the Bay or one of the wharves,
as the case may be, *mok:ng a fragrant
Havana "'cotton sample" and waiting for
the trade.
Another thing that is killing out Charleston's
cotton trade is the practice of keeping

they are. It has been denied" that such
scales arc " sed, put the following: will prove
that either the Northeastern Railroad Company?considered
to be a square concern?
or a certain factor in the city are playing a
- ^ little game of euchre in which the planter
holds "no hand: One day last week a planter
living considerably less that 00 miles up the
railroad took a bale of cotton to the nearest
depot, saw it weighed on what is known as
a standard scale, took a receipt stating the
number cf pounds, and had it shipped to
Charleston the same day. On thefollow.
ing day he received an account sales showing
the bale sixteen pounds short.
it is not pleasant for a newspaper published
within three miles cf the city of
Charleston to make these statements" but
they are facts patent to thousands, and the
sooner they are jcorrected the better it will
be.

London. September 1.2.?a translation I
from the Ru-sian of important article,
supposed by some to b- from t" e pen oi I
the famous stepn'nk, en labor agitation, j
has just been published here. It takes a!
unique view of the tendency of the h.bor ;
movement throughout the world. The!
writer churns that in nearly every country !
where discontent was rife among the
n; asses less attention is being paid to the
wages question now than formerly, and
more inquiry is being made in regard to
the relation of the people of the land. The j.
land question, in fact, is now the constant!
lacier in the labor agitation, whatever local: J
variation there may be as to addition de- j ]
mands. The -i:hh:s:-> in their origin::; : \
platform made restoration of the old Scia i j
vonic system of community inland. They '
left it in abeyance f- ;r a thr.c, but are now :
vigorously pushing i: to the front again. | <

The Centennial Cek*!>rai!on in Philadelphia?
A (irrct Crowd Present.
Thursday, the day rived for opening the
celebration < f the centennial of the adoption
of the Constitution, at Philadelphia,
dawned bright and clear. The streets were
crowded at an early hour with the hundreds
of thousands of visitors who have
corne to participate in or witness tiie cere
monies attending the celebration. Visitors, ,
military and firemen have been pouring'
into tbc city all day. The railroads have
been taxed to their utmost to accommodate
the crowds which are Socking into the city. ;
Hotels are all tilled, and some of the guests
spent last uiicbt as bist they could in im- .
provided beds. Every inch of space was j
iilied with cots and other means of tempo ;
rarv rest to accommodate the oveitiow.

llie city, both public and private, are pro j
fusely decorated with tlags and bunting, |
and. the city presents a gala appearance, i
Shortly after 10 o'clock the civic and in ;
dustriai pageant started from Broad and I
Dauphin streets and marched to Broad and
Moore streets, a distance of a little over
four miles, and then countermarched to
the starting point. Along the route a con- i
tinuous line of observation stands have '
been erected, and these were filled at an j
eariy hour by thousands, v. ho had paid for ?
the privilege of occupying seats. Thou-,
sands of others lined the sidewalks, and
windows of buildings and steps were fairly
packed with people.
Bread street was almost impassable, so j
dense was the cro wd gathered in the thoroughfare
as early as 7 o'clock, and the j
efforis of the police to keep a passage were
ilmost futile. Th.s magnificent thoroughfare
had been transferred into an immense
, amphitheatre by the combined efforts of
! the carpenters- and decorators who lia<l
j been busily engaged throughout the night
; erecting and decorating stands on both
sides of the s'reel. Tnere was hardly a

j Odd Fellows' hall had a banner across its ;
j front with the inscription, "Spot where
Franklin drew Lighting from tbe Clouds
in ITc 2." Busts of Washington were
: mounted in f.ont of some houses with the
j national emblem. The crush on some of
I the stands were so great that several
-.vomer: fainted. Three triumphal arches
j span Broad and Chestnut streets. The
: piincipal one is erected in front of the Lafayette
Hotel. almost opposite the main rej
viewing stand, which will tie occupied by
j the Presidential party. The oilier two
arches are about thirty-live feet high. On
i the summit of one are the busts of Washington

decorations that attract more than passing
note an those on the Young Men's Democratic
Association, the Adams Express
' Company, the Lafayette Hotel, the Union

newly organized Art Club. The stands on

ever the temporary telegraph line con1
strutted along the line of the procession,
i announcing that the parade had started.
; About 11 o'clock the distinguished guests,
I governors, foreign ministers and others kc:
gan p >uri'jg into their assigned places. As
the different Governors in passing to their
places were recognized they were heartily
applauded. The Constitutional Centennial
Commission was officially represented by
! lion. John A. t'aison, President; Hon.
1 Amos ii. Little, Chairman of the Exccuj

retary: F. C C. Brewster, Jr., Corresponding
Secretary, and Assistant irecretary

the grand stand, section A. The central

| Governors and their staffs. Anion.; the
Governors present were: Sawyer, of JNow

j of 2Sew Jersey, Larabee, oi Iowa, Gordon,
of Georgia, and Beaver, of Pennsylvania.
On the stand were also Kepresentavives
i from Congress, the commissioners from
I other States, and other distinguished per!
socages. The seating capacity of the stand
is 4,000.
The procession was formed at 11.52, A.

cammanded by an aide.
President Cleveland arrived at 9 oO in
the morning, and was appropriately weli
corned by Governor Beaver. Ex-President
Hayes and Gen. Sherman were also present,

Governor Richardson had intended riding ;

A SCENE AT A WEDDING.
Yi hut ?t the'Nuptial Ceremony
of :t New York Couple.
(From the New York Times.)
A merry -redding party assembled
Sunday evening in Vienna Hail, at 58th.
s-treet anu Lexington avenue, to eele-j
brate the nuptials of Miss Irene Beckel,
the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Beckel, of 013 Lexington avenue,
and Hermann Sehever, a well-known
young Montreal commission merchant.
The marriage ceremony had ju^t been
performed by the Rev. Dr. Koehler, of
'the Beth-El Synagogue, in Lexington
avenue; the newly married couple had
received the congratulations of the assembled
relatives and friends, aud the
music had just struck up for thej
polonaise, which was to be led by the
bride and groom, when sounds of a disturbance
and loud exclamations in a
woman's voice were heard from the vestibule.
Several gentlemen hurried out and
tounci a Handsome iittie aarK-eycu .j ewess
on the point of falling in a faint. The
first to reach her side recoiled upon seeing
i.lie silver mountings of a revolver
flashing from the folds of-her dress, but
he recovered himself and caught the
fainting woman with one arm, while
with the other he snatched the pistol
from her grasp. Summoning one of the
company to his assistance, he hurried
the passive woman into the elevator and
conducted her to an upper room, send;
ing out to the company the information
that a servant had fainted. Dr. Isaac
j Oppenheimer was sent to her assistance,
; and a whisper in the ear of the bridegroom
led him to hast'ly excuse bim!
self for a moment and hurry after the
: physician.
When, with the ilu.ch of his new honor
still suffusing his cheeks, the newly mar|
ritd man entered the chamber, he was
confronted by a fig-are from which he
1 recoiiid in evident terror, and he would
! have made a precipitate flight had not
the burning words of the woman held
him as by a spell. With panting breath
and dashing eyes, one hand upon her
heaving breast and the other pointing
as if to transfix the bridegrroom, she
- 3. 1 1 !
; urifcu: "jluu nave urua.c.u uij u uuu
! ruined my life, and now you cast me
into the world without a name." With
this her strength failed, and she sank
back upon the btd in a swoon.
T'ae three men who had been witnesses
of this icene hastily pushed Scheyer
from thy room, telling him to go back
and conduct himself as il nothing happened;
they would take care of the worn;:;!.
Scheyer lingered in the hall a
moiiK-'-t to collect his scattered faculties,
I and went back to the side of the girl
who hud just become his wife. The
| gut were quieted with the assurance
thft .i.t-(dinting woman bad been sent
! home a cairiagc.
Ti'ft music ? truck up, the dance went
on, an-l joy was apparently unconlintd.
"his occurred a little after 7 o'clock, in
a few moments the woman had recover|
ed suHieiently to be conducted to her
; carriage tnd driven to her hotel in East
11th "street. Arriving there about S
] o'clock ohe spent the next hour and a
hall ui writing out the story of her relations
with Hermann Scheyer.
Vrrim this sfafprnfirt, and Pfirnn ftlin
pings from Montreal newspapers it appears
that she had been betrayed by
Scheyer under promise of marriage in
Montreal over two > ears ago. Her name
i is Viola Cohen and the is the daughter
of a well-to-do decorator. Some months
after, finding that Scheyer did not intend
to fulfill his promise, she laid in
: wait for him on the street and shot him,
inflicting, however, only a slight abrasion
of the arm. With the noise of the report
she fainted a?ay, and vvhen she
! again recovered consciousness found
j herself in a hospital ward, her baby by
her side. No prosecution folio vre<i her
attempt upon Scheyer's life, and she was
; allowed upon recovery to leave the
hospital without molestation. A few
weeks after this the child was spirited
away mysteriously, and though the
mother has sought it incessantly, she has
; not seen it since.
learning a few days ago that Scheyer
had gone to Xew York to be married to
Miss Beekel, Miss Cohen determined i?
possible to prevent the ceremony. Without
stopping to pack even a satchel she
ovrixrmrr mrvrriinrr ar.rl
going at once to a hotel. There she remained
all day, awaiting the time lixed
for the ceremony, when she intended tc
appear and proclaim her wrongs. This,
according to Jewish customs, would have
prevented the marriag:. But she came
too late. The ceremony had been finished,
and according to the law Hermann
Schejer and Irene Beckel were man and
wife.
At 9.30 o'clock Miss Cohen started for j
Boston on her way back to Montreal, :
still vowing a speedy vengeance upon ;
Schejer. In the meantime the wedding
festivities went on at Vienna Hall.
Shortly after midnight the bride and
groom bade their friends goodbye and
retired to their hotel, which they left at j
an early hour for their future home in ;
Montreal.

Primus Jones, of Baker county, is the
crack farmer of Georgia. lie says that he
has already picked eighteen bales of cotton
to the plough, and has marketed fifteen i
bales to the plough. He will get twentyfive
bales to the plough, and, in addition,
will make 300 bushels of corn to the plough.
Had there been no freshet or drought, he is
satisfied that he would have made at least
thirty bales of cotton to the plough, instead
of twenty-five. The drought, he says, has
injured his prospects for peas, potatoes and
corn, and that his crops in their products
will be short. Relating his experience in
farming, he says that he makes more cotton
and corn with eight ploughs than he did
when he ran twenty, and ascribes his success
to intensive farming.
An English company has recently obtained

to run the length of Asia Minor and

which is attracting some attention in the

across Syria and down the Euphrates has
been in existence for years without attracting
capital, it is little likely that the new
one will. Such a road would be a valuable j
military line to India for England, but it i

A Wonderful Little Engine.
New Brunswick, September 14.?A
little engine, no bigger than a base .burn- \
ing stove, with a ten-horse power rapacity, j
has just been completed here by Mr. Geo. i
M. Kichards, after eleven years of unre- \
milting experimenting and work. It is an j
oil engine, hut not in the sense of an engine i
that has oil for a fuel to generate steam. :
There isn't any steam about it. The engine !
hasn't any boiler, fire box, or highly heated
parts, and, on that account, it is absolutely
safe from fire and explosion.
No engineer is needed. By an ingenious
device oil and air generate a vapor which
finds place in a chamber. When the gas
or vapor is ignited it gives motion to the
piston, and without any further attention
the engine will ran until stopped. The
?i ?i r ?V *? ii !
Cj'imuers, Oi wmeu lueieare inu, aiesuiun i
arrangements, but of wonderful strength j
The motive power is obtained by the use of i
crude petroleum, or kerosene oiJ, and com- '
pressed air. To run a ten-horse power engine
all day costs about thirty cents, ai, tbe
present price of petroleum.
A singular feature of tbe engine, though j
seeming unnecessary in view of the cheap- j
m-ss of the oil, is, that it can be regulated |
to run at either one, two. three or more j
horse bower, according to the demands ,
made upon it. The governor is so sensi- I
tive that it limits the supply of oil strictly !
to the amount of power used. A five-horse !
power engine will consume about one gai- j
Ion of oil per hour, and the engine costs
nothing while standing idle. As soon as j
the vapor in the chamber 15 ignited that in- J
stant tbe air-chamber begins "to work and
the entire establish men t is in full ruoning
order. The air used is compressed by the
engine itself to any required der sity, from
sixty to one hundred pounds to the square
inch. Thus far Mr. Richards has confined !
himsc-lf to engines of ten-horse power, but!
he says that engines of fifty-horse power !
can be made without any diliiculty.
A number of promini-nt manufacturers j,
and scientific gentlemen from Philadelphia 1
and New York have visited Mr. Richards'
unpretentious shop on French street, and !
all declare that tiie engine is certainly a I
marvel.
The Largest Gorilla Yet.
Boston has just received from Africa |
the largest j-orilla ever landed in this

weighs about 125 pounds, and exhibits ;
enormous strength, compared with j
which that of man seems like a child's, j
He arrived in a large box man of plank-!

One Lived, the Other Died, j
A woman formerly our slave is now i
our cook. ' About eighteen months ago J
she became sickly and had a cough and j,
was confined to bed, and it was thought j
that .>he had consumption. The treat- j
ment by physicians failed to give relief.
In Docember, 1SS4, a node or knot the;
size of a goose egg formed just above !
the pic of the stomach, which, when j
lanct-d, discharged matter for eight or !
nine months. One of these also formed i
nnder her arm, and three on her back,
which discharged matter for a considerable
time. For six months of this time
she confined to the house, and most of
the lime in bed. The stomach often re- j
fused food, by rejecting what she had1
eaten. She used a great deal of medi- ;
cine, but failed to be cured. I bought;
oue bottle of your B. B. B. (made in
Atlanta, Ga.) and gave it to her and she
commenced to improve. I then bought
and gave her three bottles more, and she
continued to improve, and in two
months' time her cough had ceased, her
constitution strengthened, appetite and digestion
?ocd, ail discharges ceased.;
nodes or knots disappeared and she went
to work apparently Lealthy and fattened
up greatly.
This woman bad a married .lister of

pit of her stomach, back, etc. She did ]
not take any B. B. B. and the node on
her stomach ate through to the cavity. :
She continued on the decline and wasted i
away, and finally died.
