Many houses at Skibboreen, and some at Aid court, two miles bolow tlio town, are greatly damaged. The gale now pre vailing in that portion of Ireland is be li* ved to be tho first ot the storm which tho weather indications last night showed , wus approaching the coa3t from tho At lantic. Echoes' of yesterday's storms aro ?tili heard. From Karasgate, on the eastern shore of tho Isle of Kent, from which port many Usher men sad daily to pursue their perilous calling, comes in telligence that some of the hardy resl . dints of that Uwn have made their last, [tie 6;t?Je. bles uV fi8b,D8 smack halliug from Kama : reached here this moruing after a intcndhle exporienco.

I Jut net all the rann u.* who sailed in her havo returned to their families who looked anxiously tor their. | coming. Four of her crew, whllo as sisting in handling tbo smack in tho worst of tho gale, were swept overboard by gigantic combers which came aboard the vessel. Thoso ou board were help less to save their companions. Not for j an instant could they relax their vigil ance in watching the vessel and even, bad it been possible to spare* some of tho men to man .a boat, it would have been death to havo attempted to put the boot in the water. It was all the crew could do to keep their smacks afloat, and so they were compelled to let their comrados drown. There is groat excite ment in Southport, at the mouth of the Kibble, on the Irish sea, ovor the fate of the crow oflifo boatmen, who went out | yesterday to attempt to save the crow of a vessel which was in distress off that place. The life boat was fully manned, and the crew pulled pluckily off the shoro and wcro soon bidden by tremendous soas. The crowd on shore waited and waited for tho return of tho lite savers, but they did not come back. Up to this nsiornibg they had not returned, and by / many thoy have been given up as lost. Their families, booing against hope, try to console themselves by tho belief that tho gallant life savers, being uuablo to roturn to shoro, havo succeeded in effect-1 ing a landing at some uufrequont part on the shore further north. . Thore is hardly any doubt among those acquainted with that part of the eoaat, that the life boat has foundered, aud that every soul m her has found a watery grave. The steamer "Howarden Castle" was wrecked at tho mouth of the Mersey last night. The men took retuge in tho rigging. Four bodies havo beeu washed ashoro from tho wreck. The trau?-At lantic, liuers, "Britannic" left the port, in the teeth of the gale. Tho quarter master of the "Britannic" was carried overboard in tho Irish sea. " Mother an<l Son Marderotl. CmcAcio, !Nov. 13.?Mrs. tiretchen Eonzenhager aud her 15-year-old son Georg? was found <Rcad in the former's saloon at 444 Seuth Clark street this morning. The woman was choked to death by uuknown robbers, who then beat and choked the boy until life left his body. The robbers forced open the till in the saloon ami ransacked the drawers behind the bar. The three liv ing rooms of tho woman in tho rear of | the saleon also showed signs ot the murderers. The bed clotluug was torn from the beds; drawers were pulled from the bureau and their contents scattered all over tho floor. Everything which j was capable of concealing any valuables \ was thoroughly ransacked. Mrs. Len zenhager and her son lived alone, and made but few intimate acquaintances, but the woman had frequently oxpressed her lack of confidence in banks, aud it was commonly rumored arouud the .neighborhood that she had considerable wealth secreted about the premises. The woman was last seen whon she closed her saloon shortly before mid night. Tho polico are endeavoring to : find.out who were her last customers, and expect that they soon will havo some definite clue to the perpetrators of tho crime. Men and Hordes It urn od. Denver, Nov. 15.?Mansion's livery stables, at Eighteenth and Laureucc ??streets, were almost completely de stroyed by fire. Four men, possibly Jive, rooming in the upper portion of the "building, wore suffocated, and between twenty and thirty horses met death in tho same way. The names of the men could not bo leauned. Their bodies have been sent to the coroner's office for iden tification. Thirty-four herses were burned to death. All family horses, and valued nt;$300 to$750 each. Tho loss on building and carriages is $15,000. It is thought tho remains of two more men aro in tho ruins. Stabbed by Tramps. Easi.hy, S.

The roport of the comptroller general makes some radical suggestions for changing the Insurance laws. It says the revenues from insurance are far lets here than from the same source in other States. The report iustances where a large amount of business es capes taxation. The remedy suggested for the present non-protection to the assured in cases of losses when contest ed and judgments obtained, Is that small doposits of South Carolina bonds be made uy each company. This would also prevent wild cat companies enter ing the State. The suggestion is uiade that, all companies be charged the sanie fees that a South Carolina company would be by the State incorporating such companies. A soparate Insurance department is advocated, an iDsurance commissioner to be appointed, with the power of a bank examiner. Building nnd loan associations and foreign land and loan associations should be classed with insurance companies and made to contribute their portion of the taxes. The law should be so amended that every class of business entering the state can be made to pay tribute. The comptroller says in sevoral In stances the settlements of county treas urers nave not proved satisfactory. Numerous errors have been detected, and in some cases inaccuracies and misappropriations were found, and in others shortages of treasurers, and in one county ombezzloments of school funds were discovered. This case has been turned over to the. courts for strict investigation and action. The errors detected have been rectified nnd all the moneys placed in the public treasury, except in Charleston where there is due the State the sum 38,105.20, and in Surater 89,608.91. The balance from Union grows out of the county treas urer presenting a receipt as a voucher which properly belonged to and had been allowed In the settlement for the previous year. "Information comes to me," he says, "that county treasurers in some cases deposit the county and school funds in bank and receive therefor a small rate of interest on the same, and often par ties holding claims against these funds are told 'No money on hand to pay them. The remedy suggested for these irregularities is having one disbursing oflice for tho State, by having a slight Increase in the clerical force of the comptroller general. The custom of extending the time for the payment of taxes operates inju riously upon the annual settlements re quired by law. The time should be fixed at January 1st, and not interfered with except in extraordinuy cases.? Greenville News. Tli* 1'rtuo of Cotton. Atlanta, Nov. 18.?It seems that there is no end to tho fall in tho price of cotton. There was a drop of six points more up to noon. The price at noon of Januaur cotton was 7.78 cents per pound. The day before it was 7.84. The closing price was 7.81. Tho decline has been steady. There's no ? telling how much lower it will go, as the re coipts are steadily increasing. To-day's estimated receipts are 82,000 bales. The receipts to-day a year ago were 50,000 bales only, a difference of 215,000 bales. The difference in price is 2 cents less than to-day ono year ago. "I believe that it will prove a bless ing in dlsguiso to the farmers," said a prominent cotton buyer to a reporter. '?It will lead thoin to plant more corn and rye. They ought to bo planting rye right now. It is the surest, winter crop, and brings good prices. There are many interesting phases to the sit uation. The heavy receipts are un doubtedly the cause of the rapid de cline. It reached within two points of this price last year. With heavy crops two years it is natural that, tho price should drop a little. I don't believe it will fall much lower, the bottom has about been reached. I have known the time when I sold cotton for livo cents a pound, and thought 1 was doing well, but provisions were proportionately cheap. The farmers will learn a lesson and prolit by this experience. A l'athutio Scene. Charleston, s. c, Nov. 18.?in the Session Court today quite a pathetic scene took place. At 2 o'clock several convicts were brought in for sentence. The ilrst of these was Falcone Aasuin ta, who killed a brother countryman at the Line street depot some months ago. Assumta, with whom there is much sympathy in tho community, was sen tenced to live years in the penitentiary at hard labor. It was pathetic in the extreme to note his expression when sentence was passed upon him. He can neither speak nor understand one word of English, and tho court spoke through an interpreter. Assamta is a line-looking young fellow, of perhaps thirty. When the interpreter said "at hard labor," the prisoner started and clasped his hands. "I cannot do hard labor," he told his Interpreter; "I have never been used to carrying rock." Then tapping his forehead, he continu ed: "Ask his honor to give me some in tellectual labor, and,if necessary, a long er term. I am not a common laborer in my native land." The judge seemed touched, and explained to the prisoner that "hard labor" was a law term that did ?ot necessarily mean the handling of rocks and stones.?State. nil Wife Urged Him loMnrder. Chicago, Nov. 13?A Lady Macbeth for a wife is what Frank Robinson, alias Frank Hall, appears to have, if a u tter found on him to day when he was arrested for burgallzing tho Urand Pa cific Hotel and Brevoort House can be taken as an indication. The letter from his wife, Dolly Robinson, dated Dallas, Texas, October 13, is as follows: Frank, MyDkah Boy: I am writing this to you in haste. Frank, can't you nerve up strength enough to get out and take a gun and t he first man you Spot do hlrn V Frank, if ydu could get #100 that way I could pay off the bal ance on the furniture Charlie bought aMd would start for Chicago, (let the monoy if you have to take a gun and do^ho worst. In anorher letter, Robinson is again urged to resort to murder If neccessary. "It\ you get pinched," Mrs. Robinson saysV "take an overdose. I will do the asm* hod end all this." The police kept a careful watch over the prisoner to night to prevent his tak ing "theeverdoso."

Calcutta, Not. 10.?Ae further de tails regarding the cyclone which passed over tills part of India Monday of last week are received it is* seen that the dam age dene is very extensive. Besides the loss of seventy-seven hvoa by the sinking of the Indian governmentsteam er "Enter urisc" which foundered at the Audaman islands and the killing of sixty convicts there is no doubt largo loss of life at other places along the coast. Advices from various parts of Orissa, a proylnce of India in Bengal, stale that the cyclone passing over that section of conn try did great damage. The eastern part of the province referred to lies along the shores of the Bay of Bengal and this section was therefore exposed to the full lury of the gale which seemed to gather force as it swept across tho bay* T- e cyclone cleared the path through tho forests, uprooting gigantic trees aud hurling them aside as though they were reeds. No house could stand the tcrriblo energy .of the gale aud every dwelling or other structure In the path of the cyclone was either swept from its foundations or literally picked up, turned over aid deposited at some distance from the place where it had originally stood. Tho wind also did much damage in the vicinity of Calcutta or at least below that city. As is well known, Calcutta is the seal ot an immense trade by sea and river, being the natural outlet, for a trade of the great valleys of tho Gauges and Hrannah Pootra. The city is sit uated on 'the east bank ot tho lloogley river, the westernmost branch of tho Ganges. Tho Hoogly river empties iuto the bay of Bengal through a number of mouths, the Delta being tea miles across. A large number of vessels were at anchor oil' tho mouths of the river, some waiting tor an opportunity to as cend while others wero awaiting a fair I wind to put to sea. These vsssela wero iu such a position that when the gale suddenly burst it was impossible to save many oi thoai. Numbers dragged their anchors aud wore carried ashore, while others, moro fortunate iu their holding ground, wero uuuinyed by tho pouuding , they received by tho euormous seas which accompanied the storm. No es timate can as yet bo made of the total ' loss, but from all the details received it Is known positively that tho number oi' persons drowned or killed by falling trees or flying debris is very large. Fire l'erlaii in tke Vlainea. CoiiUnnus, O., Nov. 13.?Ono of the 1 most disastrous fires in years, from tho fact that an entiro family woro con i sumed, occurred here early this morn lug, in a row of teneriient houses on North High street. Tho exact origin of tho tiro remains a mystery, but on the lirst alarm flames wero seen shooting from tho roof, licking up everything within grasp. The (iremon ondcavered to enter tho rooms, but tho dense smoke made this useless. Ono of the captains did get partially inside tho building, but was pulled out again, nearly suffocated. Two hours were consumed in gaining control of tho flames, and long ero that every person was supposed to have es caped. Such, however was not tho case. It was nearly 4 o'clock this afternoon when a little girl living iu tho neighbor hood, with childish curiosity, rummaged through tho ruins and found a naked arm, which led to a sorach and the ulti mate discovery of live blackened bodies, burned to a crisp and beyond recogni tion. Tho entire family of Charles Both ers was destroyed while sleeping in a little 8 by 12 room in tho second story. They were Charles Bothers, aged 30 years; Eli/.abeth, his wife aged 28; Car no, aged 9; Myrtle, aged 6, and James, aged 3. The clock on tho mantel had stopped at 3:25 a. in., indicating tho hour of the fire. In fighting the tlaraos two of tho pipemen stood in a window sending a nire un into this room, without discover ing the dying occupauts, who wore un conscious and unable, to utter a cry. A Horrible Crime. IrWIHTON, Ga., Nov. 10.?News has reached hero of one of the most brutal mnrdois that has occurred in Wilkin son county for many years. Mrs. J, M. Knight, tue wife of a prosperous farm er living about flvo miles from this place, was murdered in her house, which was afterward robbed and burned to the ground. Early in the morning Mr. J. M. Knight, accompanied by his two grown sons, went over to a neighbor's living about three-quarters of a mile away, to assist in making sj rup. At 10 o'clock they saw smoke In the direc tion of their home and they left imme diately, reaching home in timn to And it enveloped in flames. Hushing into the house, they found the body of Mrs. Knight lying in a pool of hleod, but tho (lames had gained such headway that they were unable to roach the body. There it remained until the house was burned. It Is supposed that after Mr. Knight and his sons had left, the bur glar entered the house, but was sur prised by Mrs. Knight, returning from the cowpen, where she had been milk ing; and that the burglar killed her and burned tho house in order to hide all proof of his guilt. A hatchet and chisel which had been left by Mr. Knight on tho perch wore missing. The hatchet was found near the body of Mrs. Knight und the chisel near one of the truuks. A party of gentleman from this place went over to the scene of the tragedy. The remains of Mrs. Knight wore taken from the ruins. Nearly the entiro body was consumed, except a part of her back and head. Her hair, being clotted with blood, was not burned. No cluo to tho perpetrator of this flondlsh act has been found as yet. The murderer made off with about 3100. She Gave Mirth to Triplets. New Eoypt, N. J., Nov. 15.?Three children were recently added to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Hopkins two girls and a boy. Great interest in the event has been shown in tho neigh borhood, and hundreds of people have visited the mother and her babies at their1 home In Archertown during the past ten days. The little houso was tilled with ieterested spectators on tho occassion of the christening last week, when the name of Grover Cleveland Hopkins was conferred upon tho boy, nnd the girls wero named respectively Francis Cleveland Hopkins and Iiuth Cleveland Hopkins.

The following is *m extract from an article written for Harper's Magazine for November. Tbe article is entitled "Stonewall" Jackson and was written by Dr. 11. H. Field: Tbe midsuinruer of this year wit nessed a scene in the inountaiua of Vir ginia that recalled the events of a past generation. The 21st of July was the thirtieth anniversary of Dull Hun, where North and South met in the lirst real battle of war, fof the engagements in West Virginia, near the Ohio, hard ly rose to the dignity of battles. Hut Bull Hun was a conflict of armies, in which both sides took their first lessous in war, and out of which caaie at least one great seldier, who stood so firmly while tbe battle raged around him that others who were broken aud dismayed took courage as they saw his unshaken column standing "like a stonewall," from which he received the name "Stonewall" Jackson. This was the hero to whom a monument Is now to bo unveiled in Lexington, where he is buried. Of Uiose whostood beside him on that bloody day thirty years ago, al most all had followed him to the grave, but the survivors, the shattered wrecks of war, came from far and near to do honor to him who once led them to bat tle, and wept with overpowering emo tion at the grave of their belovod com mander. - The demonstration furnishes an oc casion for a northerner to givo his opin ion of this extraordinary man. The wears that baye passed have removed us so far from the great, tragedy, of the war, and from the passion it aroused, that we can do justice oven to those who were in arms against us; and no one can read the history of Stonewall Jackson ,without recognizing in him all the qualities that go to make a pop ular hero. As a soldier some com petent critics rank him as the first the war produced on either side. Not that he was at-the head of the largest army, or undertook the most extensive unill Itary operations, bet that with the means that he had, he accomplished more than any other commander. He had made a study of tho campaigns of Napoleon, and saw that success lay not merely in having "the strongest battal ions," but in secrecy of designs and ra pidity of execution. In the latter he outdid even Napo leon himself, training his men to such a pitch of endurance that he could "rush" them twenty-live miles a day over a broken country, across rivers and over mountains, aud fight a battle as the sun was going down. Nothing in the war gave more decisive proof of military genius than tho campaign in tho Shenandoah Valley in the spring of 1802?tho only one which he conducted absolutely alone, with no Interference from those above him?where he was pitted not against one army, but four, under Banks, Fremont, Shields and Milroy,, advaucing upon him from dif ferent quarters, and ontmameuvered them all, attacking and defeating each in turn till he drove them, one alter auother, out of the valley, when he gave all tho slip and, crossing the Blue Bulge in one of his rapid inarches, suddenly appeared on the Hank of MoCiellau's army before Richmond. That decided the 1'oninsular campaign, when, he turned north, and by a bold movement throw himself between Tope and Wash ington,aud thesocond Bull Run proved far moro bloody than the first. All this is matter of history, which it is not necessary to recall, nor to follow the tiroless soldier to Harper's Perry, to Antietapi, to Frodericksburg and Chan cellors Vi He, where ho fell at the very moment that the groat Hank movement which he had conceived and conducted had struck the Uniou army with a shock from which it reeled and could not recover, but sought safety on the other side of tho Rappahannock, which it had crossed only a few days before in all tho confidence of victory. This is a record of continued success winch it is hard to find another example in our own history, or, indeed, in any othor. Rrutal Attack on Sam Small*. Atlanta Nov. 12.?Thero was a short but lively light in N ash's barber shop on l'eachtreo street shortly aftor noon. The participants were Rev. Sam Small, the well known evangelist and one of tho leaders of tho anti-barrom movement, and Thomas A. Minor, a BHloon keeper at 1!W Deoatur street. Certain ' allusions which Mr. Small had made in his public speeches at Pro hibition ball about Mr. Minor and his saloon are what brought about the at tack. It lasted only *bout half .a min ute, and was over before anyone out side of the barbershop could have their attention attracted. Mr. Small was seen and- asked about the difficulty, and said: "He dldn t hurt mo much, lor I held up my arm this way and warded off tbe blows. Pretty soon we clutched and fell to the floor. I w.ts under the man. The barber here pulled htm off and as ho went out ot the door he said: T reckon you'll Know Tom Minor now.'" "Do you know what he attacked you for?" was asked. "Yes. I stated in my speeches at prohibition hall tint I hud been tnld that policemen were stationed in front of Minor's saloon on Docatur street to take care of the bums that canto out." "Did you know MinorV" No; never saw him before." Was nothing olso said?" No, that's all." Mr. Smails stood up to have the dust brushed off his clothes and then walken out of the barbershop with his gold spectacles in his hand. Ilia Mother Clot Drunk, WiLKEsiiAitKK, Pa., Nov. 17.?Wil liam Ruddy, a young man aged 20 years, committed suicide in a moat sensation al manner at his homo in this city this morning.
