Ixindon, June 30.—The bulletin or | the king's condition issued at Bucking, ham palace at 10 o'clock this morning I says: “Bis majesty has slept well. The ] dressing of the wound gives much d’.s. J tress, hut mere is nu bad symptoms oi any kind. tSigned) Treves, Smitn | Laking, Barlow.” The noticeable excitement during j the past week outside Buckingham pa.- ace at the hours the bulletins were posted was entirely absent this morn ing. The sanguine impression creat ed by the doctors’ reports Saturday and Sunday was maintained by the salient phrase in this morning’s bulletin: “Nu bad symptoms of any kind.” At noon the following statement was given opt at the palace: ‘ There is no cause for alarm in tlu- distrrss caused by dressing the wound. This occurs at least twice daily. Ths wound, which is of considerable depth, is dressed from the bottom, and it is essential that it should heal from with j in upwards. The dressing causes , his maj< sty considerable pain, which | he has home with great fortitude. In | fact, his majesty's courage and pa 1 t ; ence call for the greatest admiration. 1 The king was much benefited by the I change to the couch yesterday, on which he stayed for a few hours.

No matters of state or businos a e allowed to be submitted to th° king, who is also debarred from read ing his correspondence. Neither doc tors Laking.

Chattanooga, June 30.—Saturday s storm seem* to have done much more damage in this section than was at first thought. Several pepple in the surrounding country lost their lives, while the damage to property and crops was great. Several hundred trees in the city were torn up by the roots and thrown across the streets and sidewalks, but no further damage than broken win dow panes, blinds and shutters blown away and things of that kind were re ported. Miss Cora Kelley, one of the teach ers in the Chattanooga public schools, met her death in Meigs county by the falling of a tree which crushed he-. She and another young lady were out driving when the storm came up, and they drove under a large tree for shel ter. Near Fairmount. on Wal len’s Ridge, two men «cie killed at the tame time, while engaged in their daily labor. James Grayson, proprietor, and Jesse May, assistant, were at work at the former’s saw mill, and were preparing to close down for the day, when the storm, came up. The circular saw was cutting the last tree, when sud denly the terrible force of the wind snapped a gigantic limb from a tree nearby and hurled it with great force against the two men. Mays was thrown backward and directly across the cir cular saw. and his body was cut la- most in two. Grayson was instantly killed by the force of the falling limb. At Harriman. about 70 miles north of this city, on the Cincinnati South ern. the home of Mrs. Frank Dugger was struck by lightning and her daugh ter. Mary, was seriously, if not fatal ly injured. The house was set on fire, but extinguished. -At Chickamauga park Privates Quirk and Bramen were badly bruised and had to be taken to the hospital. Bra men was struck by one of the falling tree?, while Quirk was injured eaily in the storm while trying to quell the stampeded horses of the troops to which he belonged. A number of the horses trampled over him and he is expected to die at any moment. In addition to these there were two rnen kil’mo at Raccoon, Ga., near this city, by lightning.

[Koanoke, Va, Cor. <'olumbia ktate.’l For over 20 years, Judge A. A Phlegar, formerly of the State 8u. preme Court and the superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday school at Cbristianeburg. Va., has been work ing up an annua! Christmas offering to the Thornwell Orphanage, located at Clinton, S. C. Last Christmas the amount contributed by the school was over $000 Besides this regular annua) offering, the judge always has an eye to its welfare and recently an elder of the Rndford. Ya , Presby terian church paid $1,000 for a per petual scholarship, which provides annually the whole cost of an orphan. Judge Pbiegar to-day announced that a gentleman of New York, with whom he had explained the working of the orphanage, had sent him a check for $27 000 to be turned over to the Thornwell Orphanage. While Judge Phlegar withholds the name of the New Yorker referred to, it is believed here that he is H C. McHarg, who has been associated with Judge Phlegar as a joint receiver of the Virginia Coal and Iron Com pany. \ o to take a twenty day job.

It added two recruits to Capt. Sam Morgan’s city convict force. One was an able-bodied son of Ham who en- anu the fighting between the whites | gaged with him for thirty days, the and blacks became general on the ! other a dusky damsel who consented train and all around the station. The negroes engaged in the fighting fled in ail directions, and when the smoke of battle cleared away there were only two captured. There were 10 white men with pistol or knife wounds. When the train pulled out of the sta. tion some of the combatants were still on board, and it is reported some were turned over to officers at Aik e n and at Graniteville, stations farther on. Dr. W. C. Paker, of Langley, who, with an assistant, attended all the wounded men. reports one of the ne groes. named Collins, as cut to pieces, he having over a dozen serious knife wounds about the head and neck, but still having a living chance. The other negro. Wyatt Holmes, was cut in tl!«' neck, but not dangerously. His pistol had not been fired and he claims to have taken no part in the riot. The wounded white men were Onv Carter, shot in right side, bullet not found; dangerously. The others are not seriously wound ed. They are as follows William Calicut, cut on shoulder: John Mc Daniel. shot through left shoulder and bullet in light arm; Alvin Corley, bul let in right thigh: Fred Harley, glanc ing shot on forehead and cut on left shoulder: Wylcy Lowe, bad gash on left shoulder; John Anderson, bullet flesh wound below knee; C. B. Wil liams, bullet in left jaw; Berry Davis, beat over head with pistol. The people of the town of Langley and from the surrounding country were deeply enraged as the news spread and the indignation grew as the crowd increased. Mutterings against the two wounded negroes under arrest were heard, and as the night came on and the wound^ of the white men were dis cussed. the conviction grew that the two negroes in the calaboose were m serious danger. Between 11 arm 12 o’clock the crowds in the streets of Langley had been greatly augmented by men cor ing in from all directions and the mob moved on the Jail. Entrance was forced and when tin two wounded negroes were discovered the crowd started emptying their pis tols into them and they were soon shot to death. It is reported that half a dozen ne groes were wounded in the original riot, hut only these two were caught at I angley. c:"3 This Diagram Is Worth Studying It means nothing now, but it will possess active interest when the first chapters of Anna Katharine Green * deeply fascinating story, “Lost Mans Lane," appears in these columns.
