Appalling Extent of the Recent Storm In tfae South—Tho Death List a Very Large One—Ruin in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida—The East Suffers Also. Richnond, Va., Aug. 30.—‘‘Five hundred persons are reported to have been drowned on the Sea islands.” That was the startling news contained in a dispatch received late Tuesday night by the Atlantic Coast line from Florence, 6. C. The Sea islands skirt the coasts of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Floiida. No verification has since been received. The dispatch continued: “The storm carried the water from the rivers into the Atlantic coast line sheds at Charleston, S. C., to the depth ot 6 feet, and in Meeting street, in the center of Charleston, the water was 2 feet deep A four-masted schooner was forced into the railroad shed by the rushing waters. Streets are filled with debris. Many dead seabirds are strewn about All the phosphate works about the city have been demolished. The roof of every third house in the city is gone Eight lives are said to have been lost It was also rumored that there had been great loss of life on Sullivan’s island, report placing the number in the hundreds, but as all communication was cut off there was no means of verifying tfle report” Augusta, Ga., Aug. 30. —A special to the Chronicle from Port Royal, S. C„ brings the startling information that fully 100 lives have been lost at Port Royal, at Beaufort and neighboring points by drowning during the storm. Over twenty-five were seen by the correspondent, and his information regarding the others was received from reliable sources. Of the 100 persons killed and drowned only six were white, the others being negroes. The negroes were so frightened and terror-stricken that many were killed and drowned by not leaving their cabins to seek places of safety. Twenty persons were drowned on Paris island.

It was almost a cloudburst. Men rowed’ around in boats from store to store in the lower part of the city, carrying merchants and clerks to their places of business and removing valuable goods and books.

Several pungies and schooners were washed out on the basin and now lie high and dry on the street beds. At I*he foot of Commerce street the large flour warehouses of Gambrill & Co. and other firms were flooded and thousands of barrels of flour damaged.

CLEVELAND WAS ILL.

Confirmation of the Story That the President Bad a Cancer—Submitted to an Operation. Philadelphia, Aug. 80.—The Press publishes a four-column article confirming the dispatch from Boston about a month ago which stated that President Cleveland submitted to an operation on the yacht Oneida for the removal of a cancer. The operation required the cutting away of a considerable part of the upper jawbone, and so far there has been no serious effect. The Press says that Mr. Cleveland is yet a ▼ery sick man and that his physician fears that mortal disease is still lurking in his systeifc, notwithstanding the heroic efforts of surgery to remove It in July. Secretary Lamont, who was in New York a few days ago, was very apprehensive concerning the president’s present condition. It was in the late spring that Mr. Cleveland began to be tormented by a pain which seemed to proceed from a tooth. He endured a great deal of suffering and for many days found little rest He concealed the trouble from his family and, it is probable that no one, excepting Secretary Lamont, knew that he had physical torture as well as mental anxiety to contend with. His physicians made an examination to discover the cause of the trouble and shortly before the president issued his call for the extra session of congress it was decided that an operation was inevitable. Arrangements were made in New York and Mr. Cleveland was met on his arrival by Dr. Bryant, Dr. Hasbrouck and another physician. The party boarded the yacht Oneida on Friday night Dr. Hasbrouck had charge of the operation. As soon as Mr. Cleveland boarded the yacht he was put to sleep and rested well until late the next day, Saturday. It was deemed advisable to use gas as an anaesthetic rather than ether, because the operation would be followed by hemorrhages which might possibly lead to a flow of blood into the windpipe. The president yielded easily to the anaesthetic, and the surgeons then began their work of awful responsibility. The operation required but a few moments, and the physicians think that they have removed all of the diseased tissue and bone. Mr. Cleveland recovered from the shock even better than the physicians had dared to hope. He was kept in bed four days, during which time it was announced that he was suffering from rheumatism. When it became necessary for him to go to Washington his physicians warned him to remain away from work as much as possible. Dr. Bryant accompanied him to Washington and after being there four days issued a peremptory command for the president to return immediately to Buzzard’s Bay. The president did not wish to go, saying that his services were needed in Washington during the financial crisis, but he obeyed the doctor’s orders and the advice of his friends and returned to Buzzard’s Bay. There is much encouragement at present in the fact that the president’s condition is greatly improved and that there will be no recurrence of the malady which rendered the first operation necessary. Dr. Bryant remains with the president and is hopeful for the ultimate and full recovery. New York, Aug. 30.—1 nan interview Tuesday Dr. Hasbrouck admitted the truth of the story in the Philadelphia Press of an operation for the removal of diseased particles of bone from the president’s jaw during a trip on the pleasure yacht Oneida.

ON A 10,000-ACRE FARM.

The world’s fair foreign commissioners visited the 10,000-acre farm of the Elk Valley Farming company, a mile from this eleven-year-old town. At the station the guests were met by M. G. Larimore and his two sons, Walter and Clay, who manage the farm. The procession of carriages drew up in front of forty-two harvesting machines, which passed in review before the distinguished spectators, cutting and binding a 160-acre field of the yellow grain. Each harvester was worked by three mules and a driver, whjJLe a gang of men followed to “shock” the bundles as quickly as thrown out The sight was picturesque and a revelation in agriculture to many of the foreigners. In the afternoon the operation of thrashing was seen with four machines working at once. A prairie chicken lunch was served to the guests in picnic style on the farm under a tent

KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY, DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, HASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates, of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. A benefit Is always experienced fron* the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first. No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bedtime, and read the Label.
