Cohnnbia, S.C., Oct. 1.—South Carolina occupies the unique position among the States of the Union of being the only one which had no divorce law and has never had. The constitutional convention this morning, after a hard fight, by a vote of 86 to 49, adopted a section of the . constitution forbidding the granting' of divorces for any cause whatever, and not allowing recognition of thvorces granted in ()thee States. LAKE STORM,. • Chicago, Oct. 1.—Many reports of damage and loss of life on the lakes in the storm of Saturday and Sunday reached here last night. Only one lo- cal fatality is reported—that of Cap- tain Andrew Johnson, of the achooner John Reber, who was drowned off Dane Park, while eadeayouring to reach the land to secure a tug to save his vessel. Leaking like a steve, the sailors worn out with two days' work at the pumps, with its rotten sails blown to ribbons and its halyards streaming in the Wind, the old schoon- • er John Raber drove close to shore off Dane Park, Indiana, and cast • anchor. Andrew Johnson' the oweeer, ordered out a small boat Manned by • three sailors, and tried to reach the shore to secure a tug. A mile from shore the boat was tossed by a huge breaker and overturnech Johnson fail- ed to reach the boat, and last night his body lay alone and unattended on the sands awaiting a, coroner's visit to- day. The three men stuck to the boat, and succeeded in making shore. Cap- tain Weede stayed by the ship with two sailors. They were rescued by the South Chicago lifesavers after mid- night, having worked four hours. The following are additions to the list of boats missing or lost:—John Raber, schooner, ashore at Whiting, Ind.; Geo. W. Naighten, waterlogged. • taken in at St. Joe, part of .deck -load gone; Lady Franklin, barge, ashore at Hammond's bay, probably a total . loss; Lilly May, barge, wrecked at East Whitefish ,Point, barge gone to pieces; City of Paris, ashore on Flat Rock, Copper harbour; Elma, schooner, re- • ported to have foundered in Munising • bay, and crew of eight lost; Captain • John Thurston, wife and child, among the lost; C. B. Jones, schooner, foun- • dered off Whitefish Point, crew sup- posed to have been lost; tug Boynton, from Sang See. Marie, went to as- sistance of C. B. Jones, reported miss- ing; two unknown boats ashore at Grand Island, Lake Superior; steamer Matoa and Masabar, or the Minnesota Line, thought to he astore at Kewee- naw Point, Lake Superior. Marquette, Mich, Oct. L—News has just reached here of the loss of the schooner Elma on Sunday off Scrip- ture Rock,with all hands on board. The steamer Birkhead left Baraga on Sat- urday with the C. B. Jones and Elms., lumber laden. They were caught in the great gale on Saturday night, and the Elma broke its tow line and dis- appeared in the darkness. The Tones broke loose and brought up under Whitefish Point, the Blrkhead finding shelter back cif Grand Island. On Sun- day afternoon the steamer went out to look for its consorts, and at the first of the massive cliffs forming the famous Pictured rocks found the Wreckage of the Elma. The crew of the lost vessel numbered seven, to- gether with a woman and child. Munising, Mich., Oct, 1.—The barge Elma,which broke loose from her tow during the recent storm on Lake Su- perior, has been picked up and taken to Grand Island. She will prove a total loss. About 200,000 feet of her cargo of 520,000 feet of lumber remain- ed on the broken barge. The crew of six men and a woman and child have . not been found, and are undoubtedly lost. The Elma was owned by parties in Tonawanda, N.Y., and her crew shipped from there. The Shortie Trial. Beauharnois, Que., Oct. 1.—(Special.) —The trial of Cuthbert Valentine Shortis, who is charged with the mur- der of Maxime Leboeuf and Harry Lowe at Valleyfield in March last, was com- menced before Judge Mathieu here this morning. There is nu question at an of the prisoner's guilt, the murder hav- ing been a most deliberate and cold- blooded one. The two men, as has al- ready been described, were shot down in the Montreal cotton mills at night while they were engaged in arranging the men's pay. Hugh Wilson, another employe, barely escaped with hes life. The evidence regarding thekilling will be purely formal, and will not be com- batted by the prisoner's lawyers, who will rest their ease on a plea of in- sanity. This plea will be strenuously opposed by the Crown lawyers, and a protractedlegal struggle is likely to ensue.• A Sensational, Divorce Suit, • Cleveland. Ohio. Oct. L—When the di- vorce suit of Mrs. Martha Gayton against her husband. Arthur Gayton. was called hi court, Mrs. Ga,yton's atterneY explained to the -fudge that his client was' confined in an insane asylum, and Protested against proceeding with the case.

Cornwall, Oct. 1.—(Speciale—Lancaster lost a highly esteemed citizen in a very sad manner on Sunday. It was while the majority of the citizens were in church attending morning service that the fire alarm was sounded for a fire in the chimney of Mr, Alex. Fraser's resi- dence-. Most of the male worshippers left the churches to assist in putting out the fire, and amongstthose to come from Knox church was the owner of the house, Mr. Fraser. He was a big hetevY man, and when within thirty yards of his own door fell down dead. Heart fail- ure was the cause. The fire was easily extinguished. Mr. Fraser was 71 years of age, and was born in South Lancaster, but spent most of his early life in Cali- fornia and the West, where he acquired considerable wealth. Returning to Can- ada he settled in Dundee township, on the south side of Lake St. Francis, where he remained till eight years ago, when he came to Lancaster, He had many rela- tives in Glengarry county. The Illytbical Chinaman's Advertisement. San Jose, Cill., Oct. 1.—Letters and telegrams continue to Dour into the tele- graph and post -office, addressed to Hip Sing Lee, the mythical Chinese mer- chant prince. In whose name an adver- tisement recently appearect in a San Francisco' paper, offering flattering in- ducements to any respectable white man who would marry his daughter. Mol Lee. There are at present nearly 500 'letters In the post -office addressed to the mys- terious Hip Sing Lee, all presumably in answer to the advertisement referred to. Favouring the Whipping Post. Washington, D.C., Oct. 1.--Immeda ately preceding the discharge of the grand jury here yesterday, by Judge Brad- ley, a written recommendation was sub- mitted to the court favouring the estab- lishment of the whipping -Post in the District of Columbia for the punishment of wife beaters and other petty crim- inals. It was signed by the foreman and fifteen luryme.n. Judge BracUey com- mented briefly on the recommendation. and said that he thought such a method of punishment would be productive of good results. Alive in Hie Coffin. Walla Walla, Wash.. Oct. 1.—Charles Meyers was hanged to -day at Pomeroy for the murder of Frank Sherry more than two years go. Meyers was con- victed of setting fire to the Asotin hotel at Asotin City, in which Sherry was burned to death. It was stated by some who witnessed the execution that life was not entirely extinct when the body was cut down, and that if an electric battery had been applied immediately the man could have been restored, for a faint pulsation was perceptible when the body was placed in the coffin. Saved by Ms Wife, Windsor, Ont,, Oct 1.—(Speciale—Harry Swanson's wife sieved him from a long term of imprisonment this afternoon. He was having a hearing on the charge of eriminally a.ssaniting Matilda Coleman at the St. Louis hotel on Teeminseh road a week age. Three witnesses had given convicting evidence against him and there seemed 110 alternative but to com- mit him for trial at the Assize Court, to he held next spring.. Bali had already been refused. His wife happened to be in the court -room, and as a last resort the defence called her to the witness stand. She surprised everyone by establishing a perfect alibi for her husband. "Supposing he .had assaulted this girl, what would you do?" said Magistrate Bartlet "I would leave him as quick as a flash," said the handsome young wife. Swansnn and his pretty wife are highly respected In Sandwich South, and when the magis- trate acquitted him there was applause from. the crowd, and the seene became draniatic when the young woman fell in his arms as he stepped from the prison.- er's clack, made a free man by his wife's evidence. criminal Libel case. Windsor, Ont., Oct. 1,—(Special.) — A crowd which filled the court-rooin to the doors gathered this morning to hear the preliminary examination of Thomas laurns, a horseman, charged with crim- inal libel.

Ottawa, Oat. 1.—(Speciale—Mr, Sas. E. Craddon, of Kingston, aamaica, who is in the city, says regarding the prospect of Canadian trade with the island:--" If you had a cold storage sys- tem at Montreal, St, John, or Halifax, In which you could carry meat, there Is a fprtune in it. We cannot get reelly good fresh meat, nor can we get good butter. We pa.y sixty cents a pound for very inferior butter. ,Your best butter is sold here at, say, the outside price of 25 cents per pound. Why, don't you see that if you had an entrance with us in beef and dairy produce you • would easily gain our confidence in other things? You can take our ,sugar, Our spices, out: rum, our fruit. We, in Jamaica, will take all the flour Can- ada can send along. It has been re- ported to the British Colonial Agents that we prefer to deal with Canada in- stead of the United States, but at pre- sent we are taking all our flour from the 'United States." A suit that should serve as a warn- ing to young men who chew tobacco and distribute the juice around promiscuously, to ' the annoyance of other people, came up in the Division Court this morning. On June 15, when the Capitals and Shamrocks met in their first match here. Mr. C. D. Rochester, a railway mail clerk, attended with his wife. When they left the stand Mr. Roches- ter found that the back of his wife's dress was covered with tobacco juice, and ruined, as far as further wear , was concerned. At the time he did not know who sat behind him, but after enquiry among friends who were in the stand, lit on Charles Dur - kb and Wm. Burns, millwrights, employed at the Chaudiere, and promptly entered suit against them for recovery of damages for the injury to the dress. The charge was prov- ed, and this morning Judge Mosgrove ordered the inen to pay $5 damages for the dress and $6.50 costs, Mr, H. Bourassa. Liberal candidate In Labelle, joins with Mr. Laurier in discrediting the report of the leader's speech at Chicoutimi, given by La Petrie, the Liberal organ, as official. Mr. Bourassa was at the meetings at New Carlisle and at Chicoutimi, where it was alleged that Mr. Laurier had said: "Thank God, there le not an Orangeman among us, the Liberals." To a reporter 'Mr. Bourassa said to- day that Mr. Laurier had macle use of no such expression, or words that could be construed to rnean anything of the kind. He does not, however, give Mr. Laurieles words. The Bishop of Delaware lectured in St. john's school -house last night •on religious education. He said that church schools were the best where they could be obtained, but inasmuch as it is difficult to have them in some parts, clergymen should consider it their duty to make frequent visits to the Public schools and throw out such good advice as they had an opportunity of doing. However, in the common system of schools it was impossible to give definite and dogmatic religious instruction. Wherever schools exist that'are -under the control of political machinery, the religious, training of the children wan hopeless. Major-General Gascoigne, the recent- ly appointed commander of the militia, who arrived in the city last night, visit- ed the Militia Department to -day and assumed his official duties. Earne- cliffe, formerly the residence of Sir John Macdonald, is being prepared for him, and in a short time the Major- General will make his residence there. He has already communicated with the commanding officers to obtain sug- gestions for the appointment of an aide-de-carup. Mr. N. C. Wallace returned this morning from British Columbia. The object of his visit to the West was to inspect personally the arrangements for the collection. of Customs in the Kootenay mining districts, which are rapidly filling up with miners, and to examine the mining machinery, which Is being entered free of duty, as not manufactured in Canada. The Con- troller found that a most efficient Cus- toms service is maintained, and that the country is making phenomenal progress. There are now 7,000 miners in a district which a few years ago was unworked; towns are springing up, and rapidly developing into large centres of population. The exports of the district will this year ;each 33,- 000,000. At one point, Kaslo, which three years ago had scarcely an ex- istence, the public revenue collected is $3,000 a month. • Rossland was a wil- derness six rnonths ago, but now has 3,000 inhabitants. The wealth of the country is inconceivable. Mr. Wallace points out that wheat at 60 cents a bushel yields 330 a ton, whereas miles of mountains in the Kootenay district yield from $25 to $60 it ton in gold, silver, aud lead. He predicts great strides In the near future. English capital is finding its way to the new Eldorado, and mining works are being undertaken on a great scale. One re- markable feature of the boom is the law and order that are maintained. Most of the miners are from the 'Unit- ed States, where they have been no- torious for their lawlessness, but un- der British institutions they respect the laws, and maintain the rights ,of property inviolate. Of smuggling there is practically none, and there Is an absence of the mob rule that characterises the mining centres of the 'United States. Lieutenant -Governor Patterson, who has been quite ill since his return here, and was confined to bed several days, has recovered, and was out driving about to -day. He will leave with his family for 'Winnipeg on Tuesday af- ternoon. On Monday night he will be entertained by a ntamber of his friends at dinner at the Rideau Club, Sir Mac- kenzie Bowen presiding. Lieut. -Gov. Chapleau visited Ottawa to -clay on his return to Quebec from the Pacific coast.

George J- Gibson, pastor at Emanuel church, has been mentioned by Attorney Duprey in connection with the murders that have made hia church notorious, he has seen lit to break the silence which he has main- tained ever since the discovery of the crimes, The Rev. Mr. Gibson has allowed himself to be interviewed for publica- tion, and the first question asked was:—" What do you think of Mr. Duprey's speech as an argument in de- fence of Mr. Durant ?" "Web, it is a mystery to me how tiny man of Mr. Duprey's age and ex- perience could • deliver such reckless talk when he held in his hand the life or death of a fellow -being." " Why did you remain silent • so long ?" "Because as it witness I had no right to talk, and I was willing to take my share of newspaper criti- cism." " Do you think the situation is chang- ed ?" " Yes. I am virtually accused of the murder. My name is singled out from among all the witnesses,' and uttered in loud tones to the jury. Mr. Du- prey has declared the fight on. The issue now, according to him, is be- tween Durant a.nd myself. The speech gives me the right to conclude that Durant concurs in the accusation. He, through his attorney, accuses me of having some connection with the mur- der of Blanche Lamont. The public must have noticed that I never ac- cused him of such a crime " The Rev. Mr. Gibson talked in a sarcastic manner about Mr. Duprey, and 'when asked what he would do if he were arrested, he said, ironically, that he would send for Mr. Duprey to defend him. Were you surprised at his charge against you ?" " Not at all. ails accusation is in harmony with all the actions of the defence from the beginning. You surely think I am very simple if you suppose I have been in ignorance of thc work going on in the under- ground railway." "Do you think the defence • will spring some surprise ?" " That is a good question, but I don't care to answer it in public. I think can smell a rat as well as any other person. I hope the rat for his own sake will choose the right moment to come out of the hole. When he ap- pears the cat will not have a bell on its neck." "Your handwriting is going to figure . in this case ?" " Yes; so Mr. Duprey says. • He knows what he is talking about. He is just as sure of my handwriting as he was of Dr. Cheney's testimony." " What is your opinion about the handling of the case?" "In these days, when analogy does duty for logic, it is positively refresh- ing to know of at least two lawyers who are intelligent enough to think the people do not see any difference between a bluff and a fact." "Don't you think they are faith- ful?" " Yes; they are piling up exceptions that are crushing the righteousness out of their case. Every technicality Is a curse thrown into the face of the friend they profess to defend. No witness has done so much against Durant as the action of his attorneys. I would rather be hanged than saved by such means as Mr. Duprey and Mr. Dickinson are employing." " What do you think of Durant ?" " Whatever people's opinions are there are few but think that he de- serves a wealth of sympathy, but he is unfortunate enough in the hour of trouble to have as his best friends two men whose fame outshines their wisdom." The trial began this morning with it sensation which was quite as Unex- pected to the prosecution as to the de- fence. uror I. 5. Truman informed the court that last Thursday during the noon recess of the court, he was ap- preached by H. J. McCoy, general sec- retary ef the Y.M.C.A., who endeavour- ed to draw him into a conversation on the subject of the trial. " If they do not hang Durant," said McCoy to the juror, " we will hang you." The court aaid the offence bordered .strongly on a. crime, and cited MeCoy to appear in court on October 2 and show cause why he should not be punished for con- tewmpitt. With Durant's whereabouts on the morning of April 4, the defence at- tempted to show where the defendant was the next day. George A. Merrill, an instructor at the Lick School of Mechanical .Arts, said that Durant called upon him at al o'clock on the forenoon of April 5. Asked if Durant made known the objeet of his call, he replied in the affirmative, but was not permitted to tell what Durant said, Before the court adjourned, Attorney Dickinson tailed the attention of the court to the large number of threaten- ing letters that were being received by himself and Attorney Duprey, and ask- ed that the jurors be instructed to turn such letters over to the court slimed they receive any. he Judge receivea a great many lettere of the tame kind.

Trouble in the Jewish Colony in London, - French Cable Line From Brest to New Fork—Tbe Earl of Duffer's to Become Secretary of State Per Foreign Atiairo. London, Oct. 1.—Truth says to -day, commerting upon the engagement be- tween the Duke of Marlborough and Miss •Consuelo Vanderbilt:—" British mammas and their daughters will soon be clamouring for protection if all the prizes in the xnarriage market are to fall to the American damsels. The mania for titles inherent in the Anglo- Saxon it Is vain to contend against. But the matter is somewhat serious to the United States. That country must be -a great loser through the ac- cumulations of its wealth crossing the Atlantic. If this continues, the 'United States will do well to manufacture the coveted article at home, for it is a wood nutmeg that is easily bought. The existence of titles, it is true, is not in accordance with the simplicity of -Reputilican institutions; but, in View of the heavy draM, this might be overlhoked, and the parents of anY girl might be allowed to buy ner a title, say for £200,000 ($1,000,000). The publit treasury would thus be -ailed with dollars, and the girl would remain at home. There would still be the difficulty of finding husbands in the home market, for the Americans are as Strongly opposed to becoming rich through their brides as the British noblemen are in favour of this mode of enrichment." ahopkeepers say that the royal arms exhibited over it shop door is worth a large sum of money in attracting buy- ers from the United States. One big firm of hatters in Oxford street says+, that hats labelled "The same as the Prince of Wales wears" sell rapidly during the American season. There is trouble in the Jewish col- ony over Lord Rothschild's scheme to build a colossal synagogue, clergy - house, and Jewish settlement in White- chapel at a, cost of 3200,000. Sir Samuel Montagu declares that he will fight the scheme to the utmost. White- chapel is already congested with Jews, and rents there are as higli as in May- fair. It would be madness, says Sir Samuel, while the Government is agi- tating anti -alien legislation, to at- tract still more Jews to London. It would be far better, he thinks, to try to induce Jews to leave England for homes in colonies beyond the ocean. It is stated that the Earl of Duf- ferin will become Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the expiration of his term as Ambassador at Paris. The Court Journal draws the atten- tion of Parliament to a scandal, which has already been dealt with by Em- peror William, that the expenses of regimental life in England renders it impossible for any but the wealthy to put their sons into the army. The cavalry, it is asserted, is going to pieces because its tatters are drawn from the idle rich, and. the infantry is in a fair way to follow unless the regulations are modified so as to en- able the sons of poor gentlemen, who are willing to work hard, to enter the service.

FRENCH NEWS. Paris, Oct. 1.—M. Andre Lebon,' the French Minister of • Commerce, an- nounced to -day at the Chamber of Commerce -of Calais that a contract had been signed for laying a. cable from Brest to New York, which will cennect the French telegraph syetene with the Antilles. The announcement is made in certain papers here that President Faure has definitely decided to be present at the coronation of the Czar of Russia. at St. Petersburg next spring. President Faure will, it is understood, go to Constatit by sea on board a xnan-of- war, and escorted by a representative squadron of French men-of-war, pay- ing visits to the Courts of Copenliagen and Stockholm either on his way there or while returning home. Should the projected trip take place, it will be the first occasion on which a President of the French Republic has left French territory while holding office, and it is believed that he will be compelled to secure permission from the National Legislature in order to do so. While tine sanction might be withheld in the case of a visit to England or to Spain, it is hardly likely that any obstacle will be raised to his going to Russia, arything tending still further to ce- ment the alliance between Paris and St. Petersburg being received with high favour by the people here. That the projected visit would immensely strengthen the position of President Faure in this country there is not the slightest doubt, and it would likewise corsolidate that of the Cabinet Minis- ters selected to accompany him; hence there need be no fear of opposition on the part of the Cabinet.
