It is possible that the New .York pa pers are devoting too much time and type to Beast Builer and too little to Mr. Blaine. Thirty thousand tworhorse trucks are employed in the business oi New York City. Upward of $20 O00.O0Q is invest ed in this industry. Actually, if we wera betting man, we would not take a bet of two to, one that Cleveland will carry New York by 100,000 majority. The Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, rents for ,$35,000 a year; the Thalia; owned by the Astors, brings 5:20,000; Harridan and Hart's rents lor $13,000; tho Madison Square $14,000, tie Fourteenth-street Theatre $1,000 a month. Capt. Renard's alleged discovery of a satisfactory method for steering a h loon in adverse currents is generally credited. It is rumored that the British military authorities will shortly tejtat Aldershot a new'acriai warship. e invention of a German now a citizen of America. - - Cleveland stock seems to be steadily cn the boom.

WILMINGTON, N. C. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST The Republican Committee are said to bo seriously embarrassed for the want of funds. A dispatch from Washington to the New York IForW says: It is pretty evident that the Republi cans find little success in their search for campaign funds. The cry for money is coming in to the committee every day and there seems an utter: in ability to meet the demand. All appli cants -go away disappointed. This 13 the occasion of a great deal of growling and dissatisfaction on the part of candidates in ciosc Congressional districts. The New York financiers absolutely refuse, it is said, to make bi political contri butions. They look upon it as a poor investment at this time. The little money the Republicans get out of the Government clerks and from other sources will not amount to much. Even documents that used to be ejven away in tho greatest quantities must now be paid for and every means pos sible to bring in money or save it is re sorted to. It has been the custom of the Repub lican Committee to purchase a lew of McPherson's hand-books for distribu tion. This year they cannot afford to do so, and every one is told, it they want it, whero the book may be pro cured for $2. This state of affairs makes the Republicans blue. . Congressman Taylor, of Garfield's old districts, was here to day and frankly admitted that the Republican chances in Ohio were slim withou; more funds. LOCAL NEWS. INDEX TO HEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Paterson, Downing & Co. We publish the electoral vote of the several States on our editorial page to day and advise all our readers who are interested in political matters to pre serve it for reference. Quite a number of onr people have gone to Still Bluff to-day to attend the annual dinner given at that place by the farmers of Caintuck township, Pender county, and to hear the political addresies that will be made there. . There will be a Grand Ball at Stoke ley's Pavillion, at Wrightsville, on Friday evening next, at which there will be good music and rcfreshinents. As it will be in tho night after the re gatta there will undoubtedly be a large attendance. There will be a meeting ot the Young Men's Democratic club at the City Court Room to night, and it is hoped that there may be a full attendance as important business will be transacted. Turn out, young Democrats, and make the meeting a ronser!' The ' Fitch Process" is being used on some of the passenger coaches be longing to the Wilmington & Weldon R. R. at the company's shops here. This is a liquid applied to the plush on the scats, which takes out grease smoke, etc., restores the colors, mak ing the cloth look 1 ke new, and is done without removing the upholstery, in about ten hours. Chas. II. Fitch, the inventor and proprietor, commenced in 1863 operating on a coach for Jay Gould, then President of the Rutland & Washington R. R. in Vermont, and his process is now used On the cars of nearly every railroad in this country. It Nearly Heady. The steamer Wave, haying been re paired sufficiently, Rteamed up the river to Fayettcville- last week She will remain at the latter placo-uetil she can ; have some necessary finishing touches put upon her, when she will resume her regular trips as a freight and passenger boat on the river. . The misfortune" which befel her was "serious and her owners are tcTbQlcommend&d for tho energy displayed in raising her and having her repaired so well and so New Cotton. The receipts ot cotton at this port to day foot up 2 bales, both of which were of the new crop. One bale was shipped from Red Banks. Robeson county, and the other from Laurinbuxg. -Messrs. G. W. Williams & Co. and 1J. L. Gore were the consignees in this- city. The cotton classed as middling . Interesting Meetings. An interesting scries of religious meet ings are now in progress at Brooklyn Hall. They were commenced last night and a good degrco ol spiritual earnest ness was manifested. Several ol those present asked for prayers aud the-entire feeling seemed to be earnest, deep seated and healthful. There will be an other meeting to-night and" they will probably be continued through. the en tire week, possibly longer. Tearing: Down. For several days workmen have, been employed in putting up steps and mak ing an entrance on the North sido oi the National Bank Building, and that job having been completed, they are now at work in taking down the steps of the former entrance on the sidewalk, on Front street. It Is rather slow work, but when completed will make a decided change in the appearance ol that portion ot Front street. The Lawn Party. We hope that there may be a large attendance at the Lawn Party in aid of the North Carolina Confederate Home, which will be given at City Hall Park to-morrow night under the auspices of the Ladies Memorial Association. The object is one of the most worthy ipd the ladies having the matter in charge will spare no pains to make the evening pas3 delightfully to all who visit the Park There will be excellent music and a plenty of refreshments of the best quality and at city prices. That Puzzle; It is safe to say that at least one half of the intelligent citizens of Wilmington were engaged last night in either dis cussing or endeavoring to solve the puzzle published by us yesterday. We have had lots of people tell us of the amount of time they devoted to the attempt but we have yet to hear of any one's success in that line. If anybody has solved it we would be glad to hear from him and will publish the solution. But we hardly expect a response. Excursions. The excursion yesterday of the con gregation of St. Thomas' Catholic Church, to Smithville and the Fortson the Passport, wa9 well attended and the party was blessed with delighttul weather. There was a good time generally, with plenty to eat and drink, good music and a company of iadiesf gentlemen and children who were des termined on a day of enjoyment. Tho excursion to.Smithville and the Forts to-day on the steamer Passport, under the auspices of the ladies of Front Street M. E. Church, was well attended- The excursionists have had fine weather during the day, and there is hardly a doubt that .they have had a good time. . The excursion to Smithville and the Forts on the Passport to-morrow, got ten up under the auspices of the Second Baptist Church,. will undoubtedly be a pleasant affair and will be well attend ed. If the weather holds as it is now the excursionists will have a delightfu day, which they will fully appreciate and enjoy. Germania Lodge, K. of P., will give a grand family excursion to Smithville and the Forts on Wednesday, Sept. 3d. It will be one of those pleasant occa sions which our German fellow-citizens know so well how to arrange and con duct, and will, without doubt, be large ly patronized, as it will deserve lo be. Diphtheria. Wo don't want to run counter to the doctors, by publishing anything that may work injury where benefit is in tended, but the following remedy for diphtheria in its earliest stages, which is said to bear the stamp of high medi cal authority, can -do no harm while it may prove beneficial. We give it for what it may be worth : . At the first indication of diphtheria in the throat of a child, make the room close. Then take a tiu cop and pur into it a quantity of tar and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold the cup over the fire so as to fill the room, with - the fumes-- The little patient, on inhaling the fumes, will fall asleep and when it wakes it will cough np and spit but all the membranous matter, and the diph theria will pass off. The fames of the tar and turpentine loosen the matter in the throat thus affording the relief that has baffled tho skill of phjsicians. The remedy xs simple and parc-is should cut this oat and rrcr73 i: JUbJl'J V I'll 'J v v . ' - . ' . - ; - : . . .... . ; . : I 3 H . Robbery. The residence ot A. Bryant, colored, on Fourth street, was entered on Sat urday night last at about 8 o'clock, while the elder portion of the family were absent temporarily; and a trunk was forced open and $15 and Bryant's best suit of clothes were stolen. There is no cUie to the thief. . J Nearly Finished. The improvements which havo been in progress for the pa3t two weeks at Heinsbergcr's Book and Music Store have been nearly completed.- The brick wall between the two store3 has been removed and heavy wooden col umns introduced to support the floor overhead. The store is now in one large, airy and well-lighted room, ma king it much more convenient, both lor the buyer and salesman. The dust in- cident-to the change has been xemoved and now the painter and kalsomizer are putting on the finishing touches. Won't Bet. We hear of one of our business men who has three hats wagered on Cleve" land's election. Of these two' are that New York will go for Cleveland and the other is on the general result. Tho same gentleman, who is an earnest, ouf- ana-out democrat, nas aiso wagered a ten cent cigar that Cleveland will not get more than 204 of the electoral votes. He makes this last wager probably be cause ho wanted to give a good man a good cigar. Now, we are opposed to gaming ot any sort, and especially are we opposed to betting on political re suits, but, if you are determined to bet and desire to win Cleveland is your man every time. 1 Bicycle Hace. We understand mat a young man living at Rocky Mount has challenged one of our best bicyclers lor a race for a stake ot $50, tho trial to be from this city to the Sound. The challenge has been accepted and the race will proba bly come off at an early day. This will prove an exciting eyent in our city and will be apt to draw a large crowd to witness the contest. Bicycling has be come a popular exercise and we are glad to note its increasing popularity. It is, aside from its economy of time in traveling, a decidedly healthful exer cise, without fear ot tho dangerous consequences which attend many of the out-door sports of the day. , M. Hi 15. C. We saw on exhibition at Heinsber ger's Live Eook and Music Store to day, a block of marble a loot square, which is designed as a home base for the Mechanics .Base, Ball Club, of the city. On the upper portion ot the is pace of the tablet is the bared arm of a mechanic, the hand grasping a mallet. Underneath this and in tho center of the block is. the legend: . M. B. B. C. hand below this is a pair of bats cross ed with balls between the crosses. It is a neat affair and was gotten up at the marble works of Mr. John Maun der, on Front street. Suspicious. Eliza Deyane, colored, had a prelimi nary examination before Justice Hall this morning. She was discovered a few days since in the house of Mrs. Martin, on the Southwest corner of Dock and Sixth streets, at a time when Hthe family were absent, and when ar rested claimed that she had been sent there to work by a colored man whom she did not know. In her examination this morning he made conflicting statements regarding herself, but iden tified Dick Herring, a colored wood sawyer, as the man who gave her the keys to the bouse and put her at work. On the other hand Herring positively denied ever having seen her before. She wa3 locked up for further exami nation. The Yachts. The trial of b peed of the yachts Rosa and MascoUe will not be a race between the two crafts, as has been generally supposed, but simply a trial to see how much can be gotten out of them, 'or, in oilier words, to make a test ot their qualities. No challenge lor a race has been made, but the owner of the Rosa, Capt. Pembroke Jones, as well as the owner of the Mascolle, Capt . W. L. Parsl jy, have become im pressed with the idea that their respec tive yachts have not.been tested to their utmost capacity, and they will sail th am to-morrow in order to try them in every manner possible. It will undoubtedly prove an ioterestiog and intensely ex- eitics trial and will draw a largo crowd to witness Ihe rmccavrta and to note tho rcsslt; ' " " ' - : 27, 1884. ! NO 204 For tho Sound. Capt. Bowdoin, of the steam dredg ing machine, has just had built at the millyard ot Mr, J. WJTayjor a steam yacht, which is to be placed in the waters of Wrightsvillo Sound, where she will bfc used in conyeyipg passengers frojn W rightsville to the j beach. The iittle crait has been built expressly lor this business, and is now;ji?niy wailing for her boilers. She wjll draw but aboijt o inches of water. Special Notice.
