A' Savings batik-ought to be estab
limbed in every town of any import
ance iu the State, aiict we .aref pleased
to note the interest that is being
manifested in many towns in regard
tb well institutions. iVuriiig the
present year two or three savings
batiks Imve been established in this
State and others are in contemplation:
Haleigh has the honor of taking the
lead iu this matter, and wo hope be
fore another yti&r many of our towns
tfill follow her good xnrcple. A'
savings bank was opouod in Ral
eigh on the 14th of last Sib',
with a board of directors composed
ef the best ousiiiesa men of that city,
and thus far its bitsfnesR hrta beeu
fery satisfactory. Itoposris have
beeu made by persons living in differ
Unt portions of the State, so that this
batiif ifi not mere kcnl mst Uut ion.
Interest is paid on all deposits of $5
and upwards.
I would greatly prouuoje the pi on
perity of our State if t savings bank
donld be established in every county.
It would not only keep in circulation
at home the money of every county,
ljut it would teach everybody the
importance of accumulating small
gums and inculcate habit s of economy.
"Many a mickle make a muckle", and,
by depositing a few cents every week
in a savings bank, any person can

Small means these savings banks are
especialy valuable. The amount of
deposits in the savings banks o:
Massachusetts is greater than the
total valuation of the real and per
sonal property in Noiilr Csroliua
And these deposits are chiefly the
fnall savings of psi'sons who work
for wages, such as mechanics aud
Operatives iu the factories. It is b
taking core of little things that a
man prospers, and this is as true of
jinmunities as it is of individuals,
for communities are only aggrega

The Collection of the Drummers'
license tax in North Carolina is sus
pend?d, aud in all probability this
suspension wilT b6' peruiaaient. The i
taxes collected from this source
amount to nearly one hundred thou
sand dollars a year. If no tax is to
Collected hersaf ter from ibis source,
fl? taX on property and other sub
jects of taxaiiou must necessarily be
heavier. Hence this matter is of con
siderable importance to the tax pay
tfrs of the State. As- our readers are
aware, the trouble has arisen iu con
peipience of a decision rendered last
winter by the Supreme Court of the
United States iu a case from Tennes
see. That tribunal decided uucon
tftifatkmal a licence tax- levied in Ten
nessee upon drummers, and, while
it is claimed that the North Carolina
luw diffei 8in some respects from the
Tennessee law, yet we do not doubt
a similar decision will be rendered
whenever a case goes up to that court
from this State. Iu fact Judge Bond,
Our United -Stales Chcnit Judge, has
intimated such to be bis opinion. A
trammer, naraed Henderson, was re
cently arrested by the sheriff of
Chowan county for selling without
the required license, and he sued out
a writ of habeas corpus returnable
Before Judge Bond. As there could
be no appeal from the decis;on of the
Judge if rendered at chambers, the
State's attorney requested a post
ponement of this decision until the
November term of the circuit court
ar Raleigh when an appeal might be
faken to the tfuited States Supreme
Court, if his decision was adverse 10
the State. This postponement was
g auted upon the condition that tie
law should not be enforced in the
1'ieantime, and accordingly Treasurer
Bain has issued a ciicular letter to
the sheriffs of the several eou&ties
directing them not to arrest any
drummer who may not have a license,
but to mafce a memorandum of the
diummci's name, bo that the tax mav
hereafter be collected if the Surname i
Court'sdecisioshould not be adverse
to the State-
The idea of a State hot having the
ight to levy sueh a tax would net
have occurred to Miy one before the
war,- and the Supreme Court's decis
ion in this matter was a great surprise
to all who believe that the Slates have
any lights.- It -is Miotber proof of
the republican party's desire to ob
literate all Slate lines and have a
consolidated-., national government.
This should be kept prominently be
fore the voters of North Carolina
and should have much weight in next
year's political campaign. When a
hundred thousand dollars more taxes

payers of North Carolina iu older to

A Ship Burnt at Sea.
London. Autr. 19. The Inman lii:e
t earner Lity of Montreal has been
destroyed by fire at .-ea. The. pas
r.eugers were saved. The City of
Montreal left New York August G
for Liverpool. She was commanded
by Capt. Land The news of the
burning of the steamer was learned
upon the arrival at. Queeustown this
morning of the British steamer York
City, which left Baltimore August the j
2d for Loudon. This steamer rescu-!
d the passengers and crew from the
burning vessel and brought them to
Queenstowu. Thirteen persous per
ished. The destruction of the steamer oc
ciired on the 11th iust, live days af
ter she It-ft New York. A boat con
taining six passengers and seven
members of the crew is missing. The
jccupants of this boat arc the thirteen
persons reported perished. She had
120 passengers on board.
The passengers and crew were
taken off the steamer York City by
;he tug Mount Etna and lan-led at
Queenstown. All were accounted for
except thirteen persons in the miss
mg boat. It is lpavnrn that shortly
after the passengeis had gone to bed
an the night of the tenth, the ship
being in latitude forty-three north at
the time they were aroused by the ;
alarm of tire. A scene of consterna
tion ensued aud the passengers were
greatly terrified, when the' f.umd
out the true state of attrors. The
passengers dressed and got on deck
as quickly as possible.
'lhe fire originated in the cotton
stand in the alter main. hold. Nine
streams of water were soon woiking
;ipon the fl.ones, and the course of
the vessel was shaped toward New j
Poundland. four hundred miles dis
tant. The thiraes spread with gieat
apidity aud soon burs with terrific
.orce through the midway of the
hatches, the heat beiug iutense. Ii
being evident that i;. was impossible
to save the ship, a momentary panic
;nsued
The boats were eight in number
ind consisted of four life-boats and
four pinnaces. Tnese were iauuehed
aud stocked with provisions. The
flames spread with great fierceness
and the efforts to ;jnt2rch them were
futile. At 8 o'clock in the morning
passengers were marshalled on deck
preparatory to entering the boats
Many of them were weeping, but on
the whole they were quiet and order
ly. There was a heavy sea running
and it was with great difficulty that
the boats were kept from being
smashed. The cretfr worked splend
idly and all the passengers were plac
ed in the boats iu a comparatively
hort time. How the boats floated
with their hr-avy leads-is a miracle.
As the last boat was putting off
from the ship, several of the passen
gers and crew were seen aft. They
had been overlooked, and were scream
ing to the boats to return. They were
subsequently bravely rescued, ha'f
dead from the effects of the smoke
and heat. The boats soon scattered,
and one entirely vanished. This con
tained six of the crew and even pas
6eugers, and there is but little doubt
that the whole boat-load perished.
The boat did not contain a full crew,
and left the stesmer against the cp
tain's orders, as there was time to
take many more iu it. A b irk was
sighted shortly afier the boats left the.

IJefore leaving upon his vacation
Secretary Whitney took tuemot im
po, t,ant step that has beeu taken
. .,1 . ... .. 1 ! 1'
since the late war in rebuilding the
u:ivy by awarding several large con
tracts amounting to about five mil
lions dollars, for the construction of
three steel cruisers aud two gun
boats, one of the former, as "provided
by (he act 0f Congress, will be built
L y.m Francisco, while the assignees
of Johu Roach will build the gun
boats. ThG Navy Department has
awarded to the Barroil Ship Build
ing Company, of Loudon, England,
the price of 15,000 for furnishing
the best designs for building a battle
ship authorized by a special act of
Congress, and a board of Naval offi
ceis has been appointed to carefully
consider aud leport as to the possi
bility of the plans beiug carried out.
The new post-oflico regulations pro
vided for bv the past Congress to
take effect Sept. 15: h, will be issued
soon, the changes are unimportant
relating chietiy to the manner oi
keeping post-office accounts. This
Department has also ordered a change
in the color of postage-stamps.
The prepayment of interest on
registered bonds goes steadily on
ward the amount paid on to date
being about s-ve:ty million dollars.
It is stated U it future application
for advauced interest will be delayed
as little as pos-sible. Since August
1st, the receipts of the Government
are about fifteen million dollars in
excess of the disbursements, but it is
estimated tLat the heavy pension
payment of this mouth will require a
considerably larger sum thau t he sur
plus that nmimulatcd during the
present month After all obligations
are promptly met the surplus still
persistently j iles up and permanent
relief can only be expected from tin
action oi Congrs next winter. Dis
posing of th surplus i the vital
(juc-siioi! ofihe times, and the public
weal unquestionably demands tht
rarly solution of that momentous
problem, and I have confidence that
the combiued sagacity of Pnsidrn:
Cleveland and a Democratic Congres:
will be equal to the emergency, des
pite the gloomy piedictious of the
(mro-iic croker
Democrats af the Capital view witl;
supreme satisfaction the lino of
the Republican party for 1888,
and foreshadowed by the action of
the Keystone State, whose battle-cry
is Blaine, the blood v shirt, and a high.
.protective tariff. On such issues a
these the Democracy need have no
fear of apyt:aling to the judgment
and patriotism of the country.
The case of the roystering Riddle
berger, who has just emerged from
tbe gloom of a Virginia jail, excite:1
considerable comment, but little S3'm
pathy in this city, where his idiosyn
crasies are well known, as it is
not an uncommon occurrence to see
this rampant Republican mske an
unseemly spectacle of himFelf. on the
floor of the Senate to the shame of
his brother Senators.
It is thought that the prominence
of Hon. Roger Q. Mills in the late
prohibition contest in Texas will
materially aid his aspirations for pro
motion from second to first place on
tbe Committee on Ways and Mean,
as the former chairman. Hon. Wm R
Morrison, is not a member of the
Fiftieth Congress.
The attempt to enforce the Ed
mund Utah -law in the District, or
Columbia is cau?iug one scandalous
sensation after another. Before the
now notorious Crawford case has
been disposed of h worse has been
brought to light that of a United
States soldier, who is charged with
the frightful crime of incest with hi
own niece. This awful accusation is
brought by his own brother, and the
poor girl involved is only sixteen.

The clovul guttered and rose slowly j protrudiug and his head was fright
and angrily, and an eye witness says fully battered. The brakeman was
that it was so black it had a pinkish

trale arose which struck terror into
the hearts of mafiy of the guests of
tho hotel. But few of them had gone
to bed, and wheu the gale commenc
ed most of them got up. The gale
increased in fury and power until nearly-4
o'clock. By this time, the gen
tlemen's bath house had been blown
entirely away, not a vestige of it be
ing left. The. greater portion of the
ladies' bath house was also demolish
ed. The wind-mill on the west side
of the hotel was blown down with a
terrific crash. It fell upon the gas
house and that building was utterly
smashed. Tho stoim of wund was
variable and chausred frequently. A
little after four it commenced to blow
towards the front of the hotel and
the rain fell in act ual sheets and large
bodies of water. The rain blew into
ihe building through every little crack
and crevice, through the windows
and through the doors, aud iu a few
minutes the s-econd and third floors
in some parts were two or three inch -
es deep in water. The building com-
meuced fo shako and quiver like a
teed. Everybody was up and most
everybody was very wet bv lldstime

Riddlebci ger's Rescuers.
Woodstock, Va., Aug. 19. Senator
Rid V.':b-:-rger is improving slowiy,
though .-;:!! coutiued to the house.
The Grand Jury, which met today,
held a secret session and this evening
brought an indictment ag;inst six
persons for rescuing Senator Riddle
b&rger from jail. Five of these were
from Edinburg, five mile3 south of
here. The oniy person of any prom
ineuce among" them was Jos. Holtz
man, proprietor of the Eureka House
::t that place. " Ho is a warm persoual
friend of the Senator. The sixth
inau was from Woodstock aud is a
son of the predecessor of the present
jailer. An indictment for wisde
uieanor xvas alse found against Dep
uty Sheriff-Hot tel, who was in the
juil with Senator, Riddieberger the
night of' the rescue. The sraallness
of the party aud; the liberation of the
Senator with out. forcing the jail prop
er will make it gO hard with the Dep
uiy Sheriff
Senator Xtiddleger said to a friend
this evening who culled to see him
and . found him looking bi ight and
fresh that he would clean out the
court by legal methods. He will
probably appear as counsel for the
defense on the trial of.he parties in
dicted for rescuing him. He severe
lycriticised the indictments and this
criticism foreshadows his future ef
forts. It is but natural that he should
try to rescue those who rescued him.
The penalty is six months in jail and
a fine not exceeding 500. A lively
time at the trial is anticipated.

Stealing County Orders.
iitlCenv ot county orders from the
odice of t he register of deeds. Dur
ing the past lew weeks,-persons in
;vhu?;e favor the orders had been
made out. have come into the regis
ter's office to demand them, and in
quite a number of instances the or
ders were missing, not being receipt
ed for in the book kept for that pur
pose. Iu each instance Mr. Lofiin
lias paid the money out of his own
pocket, at the same lime kept a sharp
lookout for the papers, expecting them
to turn up somewhere. He was not
disappointed, for on Monday it tran
spired that Newsom had sold a num
ber of the missing orders, amounting
to about fifteen dollars, to Mr. W. G.
I'enry, merchant, and on the informa
tion thus obtained, the warrant was
issued. On the defendant's affidavit
the case was removed for trial before
B. Nooe, Esq., and was continued
until Friday at two o'clock, p m., the
d fendant beiug required to give
bond iu the sum of two huudred dol
lars for his appearance. The state
was represented by Messrs. Bulla &
Br.lia, the defendant by Messrs. Rob

learned that on Monday Newsom had
sold orders to the amount of nine
teen dollars to W. D. Smith & Co
On his motion for continuance, de
fendant's cownsel stated that the
will be able to show on trial, that he
obtained the orders honestly. Later
iu the day, Newsom was searched on
authority of a search warrant, issued
by Justice Nooe. and orders to the
amount of 53.99 were found on his
person. Up to this time about sev
enty or eighty of the stolen papers,
amounting to about one hundred dol
