The gift was presented to Captain Rowland while h was here between trains Saturday at Henry's Jewelry store. The proceed ings were quite a surprise to the "June Bur conductor and he expressed his gratitude and appreciation with much feeling. Civil Engineer R. L.

All of the larger factories of States rllla have closed down for the enure Revenue Cutter Return to Her Sta tion After an Absence of. Several , Month With a Wireless Outfit In stalled A' Letter From -Bob" Evan Relating to Fort Fisher. Special to The Observer. v , Wilmington, Dec. 84. Th United States revenue cutter Seminole, after remaining away from her station at this point for several month during which aha participated in the joint 'drills and exercise of the Atlantic fleet in Chesapeake Bay and spent aom time at the Norfolk' navy yard having wireless installed on board, has returned to Wilmington for the holidays. , She ha received her winter cruising order and will loo after the coast aa far south aa Savan nah and a far north as Hatteras. Officers and men were glad to get into Wilmington for the holidays, where most of them have home ties which bind them here. The Joint drills and exercises In the Chesapeake Bay were of great benefit to the men and the ship returns In flna condition for tiie winter's cruising. She underwent her annual overhauling while North and Is tied up at her warf as neat as a new pin. While on the trip to Wilmington from Norfolk she assisted the Cape Lookout life-saving crew In towing into Lookout bright the four masted schooner Augustus Welt, bound from Carteret, N. J., to Savan na:!, which was abandondej off Hat teras during the terrlfOc storm whjch swept the coast Friday a week ago. The installation of wireless on board will greatly add to the service along the coast Heretofore the ship would be ordered out to, look for some vessel in distress. Often this search would continue for days after the object of the search had been dis covered and townej into some port, the cutter at sea having no commu nication except that which she would get by running into some port and losing much valuable time. Now it will be possible to communicate at sea with all ships of Importance and the cutter will be informed at any time as to what 1 tcolag on and where ner service may or may not be neea-eJ. Wilmington people, and especially urvlvor of the terrible bombard ment at Fort Fisher during the war between the State, are Interested In a letter jut received by Judge A. O Wright, of Jacksonville, Fla., from Admiral Robley P. Evans, now In command of the Pacific fleet on Its way a round to San Francisco, who re ceived his first wound In battle at Fort Fisher In 1865 when the last gateway to the South gave way to the Federal fleet. Judge Wright was In charge of one of the artillery stations and was of the opinion that one of the men of Tils battery wound en "Fiimting hod" during mat on slaught. At the recent reunion of survivors of Fort Fisher at the mouth of the Cape Fear JuJe Wright we. ablr to locate the post tlon of his battery and. wrote to Ad miral Evans of the Incident of his wounding. The veteran naval com mander replied: "The chap who shot me at Fort Fisher hit me four times, and I downed ftlm with my revolver after that, as I thought he was getting too personal In his at tentions, lie was a sharpshooter in the angle or the works where we made our charge, lie and I had soma lively' conversation during the shoot ing. So, old man, you dll not save my life, but all the same I fully ap preciate your good intentions, and give you credit for them." As the "Pacific fleet passed down the const the past week Judge Wright sent a friendly greeting to the ad miral, noting his presence In South ern waters again, and received a very cordial expression In return by wireless. It Is hoped at the next reunion of the survivors of Fort Fisher after '08 to have Admiral Evans here. He 'was Invited at the last reulon and expected to arnd but at the last moment had to decline. In view of Congressman Godwin's bill to have the national government take charge of the Fish er 'grounds and convert them Into a great park, there la a revival of in terest In the work of the Buvlvors' Association, composed of both Nort.v em and Southern veterans of that great fight MILLS AND MARKETS NEW YORK BANKS NEAR NORMAL Reserve Increased' $8,850,175 Dur ing the Week This Showing Due to Gain of $8,507,200 In Cash and Contraction of $9,581,000 in Loans Banks Have Cut Down Shortage by; One-Half General Outlook Good. ' New Tork Commercial 23d," - r .Expectations of a favorable bank statement were realised on Saturday and Wall Street welcomed an Improve ment which means that the banks are approaching the level usually consid ered normal. The statement was by far the most satisfactory since the first deficit was returned in early Oc tober and few had hoped for a more favorable return, Reserves increas ed 18,3(0,175, making a total gain in reserves of more than 822,000,000 in the last four weeks,' and cut that amount from the great deficit of 154, 103.600 returned on November 23d. This formidable reduction came about by reason of a gain of 16.- 507,200 in cash and a contraction of $9,581,000 In loans. Deposit decreas ed about $2,000,00 uhder the decrease In loans and circulation Increased 11,- 661,700. Now that in e banks have cut down the shortage by nearly one half, and the season 1 approaching when It is customary for them to aug ment reserve, the outlook . 1 very promising! and leading financier ad vance tha opinion ' that .within four week the bank will hold In their vault reserve much In exces of the amount required by law. 1 The gain In cash is ths largest since mid-summer and represents the deposit of hoarded money and the re-depositing or won y paid out In the preceding- week to the e-nvernnent loans. ' As yet the Interior has done nothing to relieve the situation a New Tork and the enormous shipment of cur rencv to the inland bank are not be ing returned with any great degree of of rapidity. It la not believed tnat tne interior will ahlp currency, to thl cen tre until the premium disappear. During last week there wa at all times a demand for currency and rate held around 1 per cent. Most of this, however, wa for State banks and trust companies which wished to re plenish their holdings in anticipation of a call by the State banking depart ment for their conditions. Now that bhls call has been made, the demand for currency may diminish, and, as the large corporations have ceased buying currency for pay roll purposes, the premium 1 expected to disappear soon. Christmas shopping has brought enormous sum of currency into cir culation, which will tend to relieve the stringency, and as the Importation of gold contlnuis and ha now reached an amount in excess of 8110,000,030, the banks are expected to be oa a sound basis early next year. The gain in reserve was due large ly to the decrease on outstanding loans, this Item having decreased more than $31,000,000 in the last four weeks. With the decrease iu loan there was a decrease In deposits of $7,371,900, which cut down the ex cess of loans over deposits by $2,220 200, to $105,952,800. This exces compares with one, of $5,534,500 last year. LEXINGTON PHYSICIAN ILL. vreil: run-covm p:r::n:, and after sickness, cclis, coughs, bronchitis and all threat ani lung troubles.
