Feb. 21.Special Correspondence.jThe second State reception took place Friday evening at the White House, and was a brilliant reproduction of last Tuesday's entertainment. On that occasion Congress was invited to meet the Diplomatic Corps, and this week the Diplomatic Corps were invited to meet Congress, the army and navy, as before, being asked to meet both. At 8 o'clock protnptly the President entered the Blue Parlor and took his place in line; at a little after 8 the diplomatic corps entered, and the guests were presented by Lieut. Mason, U.

S. and Marshal McMichael. The President was assisted by Mrs. McElroy, Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs.

THE SOUTHERN CYCLONE.

East-Bound Freight Business Still in an Unsatisfactory Condition. There was a slight increase in the eastbound shipments of flour, grain, and proisions from this city during the last week. As the bulk of the business was secured at low contract rates it is surprising that the increase was so smalL Shipments were not as large as they were for the corresponding week last year, when full tariff rates were maintained and business was considered extraordinarily dull. At the beginning of last week it looked very much as if the east-bound pool would go to pieces. The cutting was said to be serious, it being charged that rates were made as low as 20 milts per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York.

At St. Louis and Peoria the situation was reported to be still worse, it being acknowledged that a cut of 15 cents per 100 pounds was made by the roads leading from those points. From here no direct cut wail made, but it is claimed that the bulk of the business forwarded was secured by contracts dated back prior to the last restoration of rates. 'Some of the new business, it is claimed, is being shipped to Interior local points and thence reshipped to destination. By this means it is kept out of the Chicago pool, and the roads practicing the deception can keep the whole of it and are that much ahead on their pool percentages from this point.

It is quite probable that this matter will make serious trouble, as there will be an effort to force those roads to account for that business to the pool at full tariff rates. During the latter part of the week the situation seemed to improve. The bulk of the business from this city is still being taken by the Vanderbilt linesthe Lake Shore, Michigan Central. and NickelPlatewhich took nearly 55 per cent. The Grand Trunk was the only other line that exceeded its allotted percentage, carrying a little over 15 per cent.

The total shipments of flour, grain, and provisions by the various roads running East from this city for the week ending Feb. 23 amounted to 47.048 tons. against 40,213 tons for the week previous. The total shipments for the corresponding week last year amounted to 52,800 tons. The following statement shows the amount of flour, grain, and provisions shipped East from this city by the various roads curing the last week: I Suffering and Destitution Caused- by the Recent StormNews from Remote Points.

many sections of the State rernote from telegraphic offices reports of the terrible work wrought by the cyclone are just coming by mail. In the upper part of Pickens County, near the Blue Ridge Mountains, the tornado swept away scores of small houses and stables, killed hundreds of horses, mules, and cattle, and household effects were scattered beyond recovery. The country roads are completely blockaded by fallen trees. Later advices from Anderson County show that thirteen large plantations adjoining each other were completely destroyed, and while many persons were Injured there was only one killed. In one portion of Fairfield County ten houses were blown down and all the inmates, numbering about forty, more or less injured.

The ruins of one of these houses caught fire and an old lady was extricated from beneath the debris badly burned. A similar occurrence is reported from the Town of Strothers. The first accounts of the storm in Union County were received this evenink. Every tenant house on the plantation of J. B.

Steed-man, one of the largest in Upper South Caroliva, was demolished, several segroes injured, and many head of stock killed. P. P. Hamilton's dwelling, kitchen, stables, and tenant houses were also destroyed. A like calamity was visited upon the places of John Wix, W.

T. Jeter, and Elma Jeter. Every family upon these plantations is homeless and destitute. The most distressing accounts so far received come from Edgetield County, where the devastation is almost iodescribable. Bur a distance of twelve miles plantations, orchards, and forests are in ruins.

Forty plantations have been laid waste, several persons killed and many wounded. Over sixty families have lost their houses and all their household goods. The large store of Alton Stalmaker was completely demolished and the dry goods blown several thousand yards in every direction. Two young clerks, Hollingsworth and Luguire, who were sleepuag in-the store, were so stunned as to be unconscious, and were covered in the d6bris. When a neighbor came an hour afterward be found that fire from a stove had caught the floor and burned it through, and would have soon reached where the kerosene oil had been overturned.

He extinguished the fire, obtained help, extricated the two men, and carried them to a place of safety, where they were restored to consciousness. Luguire is fatally hurt, but Hollingsworth will recover. In this section the hardest and most elastic swamp-oaks and hickories are snapped and twisted as if they bad been only old field pine. Everything is colored by the soil; even the freshly broken trunks of the trees look as if the turbid waters of some great freshet had surrounded them, and in many places. although but little rain fell, the earth Is swept bare and leaves, underbrush, and driftwood are rafted or lodged against obstructions as if a veritable freshet had swept over the highest hills.

A timber-cart and wagon loaded with cotton were hurled, broken badly, hundreds of feet into the woods, and some ot the bales of cotton more than a hundred yards from each other. Houses are so utterly demolished that the timbers that remain on the places where the foundations once were can be of little use for reconstruction, as many important parts have been blown so far that if found they could not be identified. The furniture is in the same condition. All through the path of the cyclone the negroes have been the greatest sufferers, and many sad cases of destitution are reported among them. Physicians and ministers are taxing their energies to the utmost in attending to the wounded and dying.

It will be several days yet before all sections of this State visited by the storm will be heard from, and weeks before the damage can be computed. I I 1 Or money refunded the following diseases without medicine: Pain in the back, hips, head. or limbs, nervous debility. lumbago, general. debility.

NEW YORK, Feb. has been much in the festive life of the last six days which will linger pleasantly in the tnemory during Lent. Monday brought two dancing assemblies, the cotillon at Mrs. E. Livingston Ludlow's, and the Liederkranz ball.

The former attracted almost all of this and last season's d6butantes. The navy and society In general were interested Tuesday, in the wedding of Miss Isabel Morrell, daughter of Thomas Morrell, of Fifth avenue, und Lieut. J. D. Jerrold Kelly.

U.S. N. Perhaps the most enjoyable musical party of the week took place in the -evening. at No. 28 East Seventeenth street, Stacey Clark host.

About eighty people were present. Miss Clara Louise Kellogg sang in her best manner some selections from Faust" and the ballad "Good-By, Summer." Mrs. Benjamin, Miss Howard, Tony Navaro, Mr. Stromburgh, and Mr. Fritsch made up the remainder of the talent.

What many people voted the most interesting Incident of Wednesday was the wedding of the Handsome young Controller of State, Mr. Chapin, and Miss Grace Stebbins at the house of her father, Russell Stebbins Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt until recently have entertained but little in their new house at Filth avenue and Fifty-seventh street.

In the last few weeks they have given a series of handsomely-appointed dinners, and to these was added Thursday evening a reception to the Thursday Evening Club, the fortnightly gathering for musical. literary, and scientific enjoyment. About 250 people, mostly members of the club, were present, and spent the evening In listening to the musical entertainment and roaming through the rooms, which were nearly all thrown open. Washington's Birthday puzzled people, it being a disputed point whether the Hag should be run up to the top of the pole in honor of the anniversary, or half-way out of respect for the dead Arctic heroes. There was considerable festivity for a holiday, at all events.

Among those who entertained at dinner today were Cornelius Vanderbilt and Bradley Martin. The list of entertainments to come is not long. though Lent will be well sprinkled with gatherings of the quiet kind. Monday the Patriarchs and their guests will dance for the last time this winter. Shrove Tuesday will be fitly commemorated by a dinner at the house of Mrs.

William M. Bliss. Mrs. James M. Waterbury gives a reception for dancing, and Mr.

and Mrs. C. Vanderbilt a dinner. Miss Laura Doremiettlx will be married to Dr. J.

The Committee of General Freight Agents to arrange differential rates on lumber to Missouri 'River points met yesterday. Arbitrator George M. Bogue, who was appointed a committee of one to see President Cable of the Rock Island and get his approval of the differentials adopted the day previous, reported that he had seen Mr. Cable and that he objected to making the differential from Rock Island, Muscatine, and Davenport cents less than Chicago rates, and insisted that it should be 3 cents less. After some discussion it was decided to accept the itock Island's proposition.

It was found, however, that the Alton objected to a permanent arntnirement, and consequently other objections were raised. It was finally decided to refer the matter of Permanent differentials to Arbitrator Bogue, arguments to be submitted by March 10 and a decision to be rendered March 31. in the meanwhile it was agreed the roads should charge a rate of 15 cents per 100 pounds (the present rate is 10 cents) from Chicago to Missouri River points and differentials from the various points of supply as follows: From St. Louis, six cents below Chicago; Hannibal, Louisiana. and Quincy, five cents: Keokuk and Burlington, four cents; Rock Island, Moline, Muscatine, and Davenport, three cents; Fulton, Comanche, Clinton, Lyons, and Sabula, two cents.

From all these points the new differential is one cent less than the old one. Dubuque is two cents below, the same as heretofore; McGregor and Prairie du Chien, one cent above, the same as heretofore; all points on the Mississippi River above Prairie du Chien to Minneapolis, same as Chicago. Eau Claire and other points in the St. Croix country, Wisconsin, are live cents above Chicago, the old differential being two cents above. The new rates go into effect March 3.

That no permanent arrangement was made seems to be due to the unsettled condition of affairs in the West and Northwest and the fears that the tripartite and other troubles might lead to such complications Its may make the maintenance of lumber rates impossible. 11111 CAM e.o.m.. -7, oimi 1 a 1 as UNIIIMM 1121....

Wicker, Traffic Manager of the Chicago Northwestern. was appointed by the Chicago-St. Louis freight pool to fix new percentages for the various roads, the old ones being no longer satisfactory. Mr. Wicker has had the subject under consideration ever since, and yesterday announced his award as follows: Chicago Alton, 39 per cent; Wabash, 32 per cent; Illinois Central, per cent; and Burlington, 14 per cent.

The old percentages were: Chicago Alton, 36 per cent; Wabash, 29 per cent; Illinois Central. 20 per cent; Burlington, 15 per cent. The Alton and Wabash are well satisfied with the new award, and declare it eminently just. Tbe Burlington. which loses only 1 per cent, makes no complaint.

The Illinois Central, however, which loses 54 per cent, is much dissatisfied, and thinks it has been unjustly treated. But as the various roads have agreed to abide ty Mr. Wicker's award, it will probably be accepted by all the lines. INDEPENDENT. DR.

commenced his Investigation this morning into the cause of the eiplosion Wednesday morning at the West Leisenring Coal Mine, in which nineteen men were killed. After recess a large number of witnesses were examined. Hans Clendenning and several others testified that the op air-shaft was closed at night, that the air in the mine was bad, and that proper precautions had not been taken. They were flatly contradicted by George Hansel and other me Inspector Steiner and Thomas Parker and Wilson itasser, mining experts, testified that gas had undoubtedly accumulated in the vacant rooms, and that if it Mad been inspected Wednesday morning before Abe men went to work there would have been no explosion. All agreed.

however, that there was a possibility that there had been a fall of the roof and that the gas had accumulated suddenly. General-Superintendent Taggart testified that to the best of his knowledge every precaution to Insure the safety of the miners had been adopted. He thought the fact that during Tuesday night the men had gone into the vacant rooms with bare lamps was sufficient proof there had been no fall of the roof and slidden generation of the gas; that could only be guarded against by inspecting the mine every morning before work commenced. As the presence of gas was not suspected in the mine, this had not been done, and was not done in any othet mine similarly circumstanced. Wfiliam Connerby testified that he noticed the presence of gas several times.

and had lighted it. He notified the mine boss about it. Several other witnesses were examined, but nothing of importance was elicited. The jury retired at 8 o'clock and are still out. jury brought in a verdict censuring the company for not having the mine examined daily for fire-damp, and the Mine Inspector for not having inspected the mine.

Suits will be instituted immediately by the relatives of the men killed. The Vile Dens in Which Criminals and Paupers Are Kept at Keokuk, Ia. KEoKtTg, Feb. 23.Specia1.The grand jury visited the county institutions located here today, and at the jail and poor-house discovered such a fearful condition of affairs as brought out a highly denunciatory report and strong recommendations for a speedy remedying of the evils that exist. They characterize the jail as a disgrace to the county, say it is nothing but a hole in the ground without drainage or ventliation, dirty and filthy, and that the health and lives of inmates are endangered by reason thereof.

At the poor-house wretchedness, dirt, filth, and utter lack of accommodation prevailed. A lack of facilities to properly treat the paupers and insane is reported, and they say the treatment under the facilities offered, even if used to the best advantage, is a disgrace to humanity and an insult to civilization. The unfortunate poor and decrepit were found huddled together with lunatics in the basement, the air of wIiklt Is made foul and unbearable by the filthy habits of the imbeciles. "Add to this its want of sunlight and ventilation and we have a scene to look upon which ought to bring a blush of shame to the faces of those in authority." They recommend that proper buildings be erected in which to keep lunatics and linbecites and that they be so arranged that they receive all the comforts they are entitled to as unfortunates, and that the care of the inmates be taken out of the hands ot the present overseer and placed in the hands of a physician who can properly administer to the ailments of both departments.
