Charleston, Feb. 11.—The flood gates of heaven were opened upon Admiral Bunco’s fleet and since early this morning the crews of all the warships have been making gallant but only partially success ful attempts to secure their bat teries in a downpour of rain. The ;torm was fortunately accom panied by comparatively little wind, but the rain came down iu sheets, flooding every unprotected spot on shipboard. The guns have kept going bravely, however. The manoeuvres last night con sisted iu searchlight work until 8.30 o’clock, coupled with con siderable gun practice. During the early night the Maine launched a torpedo very successfully. Af ter 9 o’clock the battleships re turned to their position which they occupied Tuesday and watches for the night were set, while every thing was ou the alert looking for a possible blockade runner. It. was known beyond question that the Vesuvius, who is to perform that service, had not arrived off the Carolina coast. To-night it may be different. The Vesuvius is undoubtedly to make an t- tempt to enter the harbor and ihe longer the effort is postpom-d, Me more vigilant become the blockad ing ships. Nothing of much consequence has been done on or by the fl* et during the day. About uoon Me Amphitrite came up to the city and anchored off the custom house pier, where she still lies. An offi cer from the New York came up to town yesterday and made con tracts for coal for all the fleet and the Amphitrite will be the first one to have her bunker’s filled. The New York, Maine and Mar blehead lay within a cable’s length of one another to-day until nearly dark, and than they resumed their position of last night. During the day they placed targets for exer- bise with their secondary batteries and they will practice at these to night with the aid of their search lights. This same work was done last night, and it is said that dur ing the practice a seaman ou the Maine was injured, but the name is not given and the report is not fully substantiated. There is no longer a doubt that the fleet is now actually engaged in its blockade work. The Voku- vious is looked for hourly and from unofficial sources on ship- bor.ri it is learned that the Dol phin may return to Charleston from Jacksonville as a blockad ir. Neither the Indiana nor Ma-s- chusetts had joined the fleet late this afternoon, though both are due here. Married. Mr. G. W. Mathews, of thiscity, and Miss Carrie Young, of Car- tersville were, last night, united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The marriage took plac# at 8 o’clock at the residence of Mr. W. C. Atkinson, Rev. W. I. Herbert officiating. Threw Away His Cane*. Mr. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black Creek, N. Y., was so badly afflicted with rheumatism that he was only able to hobble around with canes, and even then it caused him great pain. After using Cham berlain’s Pain Balm he was so much improved that he threw away his canes. He says this liniment did him more good than all other medicines and treatment put to gether.

Thursday morning 21 bills were passed to a third reading, 12 were killed outright, one was recom mitted and several were continued qntil the next session. It was the heaviest day’s work since the ses sion began and the members seemed to find pleasure in watching the railroading. During the day the house settled the question as to who should pay the expenses of the recent new county elections; it suffices to say the State will not pay them. The house gave the Jim Crow car bill and the bill to facilitate the settlement of estates a final reading and then tackled the second read ing bills of which there were 16 pages on the calendar. By the hour for recess nine of these had been run through. Mr. Garris’ “administration” li quor bill was made the special or der for next Saturday. Mr. Childs' prohibition bill which was the special order for the day was postponed for 24 ; hours. Mr. Cushman’s bill to regulate | the speed of railroad trains and en gines pa-sing certain stations was continued to the next session. The Clemson invitation matter was taken up again and Mr. Pol lock’s substitute resolution declin ing the invitation was unanimously adopted. * Mr. Jno. P. Thomas’ bill to amend the law so as to allow aliens to own 5,000 acres of land in this State was ordered to a third read ing, there being no opposition to it. Ihe Alght Session. The Reynolds public printing bill was called up, and by a vote of 46 to 44 the house refused to strike out the enacting words. The biT provides for letting out the public printing under contract to the low est bidder. An amendment was offered proposing that the bids be opened before the house, and at the hour for adjournment this mat ter had not been disposed of. In the Senate. a The bill to allow the running of fruit and fish trains on Sunday was killed, as was also Mr. Mow er’s bill relating to special boards of assessors for towns of from 500 to 10,000 inhabitants. When the bouse bill to require the sinking fund commission to lend funds to the several county treasurers of the State was taken up, Mr. Mayfield offered an amend ment to strike out all after the enacting words of the bill and in sert in lieu thereof eight sections, practically making it a new bill. On motion Mr. Brown’s com- pulsory education bill was contin ued until the next session. The following bills passed a third reading: Mr. Moses—To provide for the trial of suits against foreign cor porations in the State courts. Mr. Gaines—To provide for the licensing of distilleries. House bill to provide for the re moval of any county officer for in capacity. Mr. Talbird — To give magis trates power to try cases of larceny of bars, sails or boat fixtures where the value does not exceed $20.
