The Senate yesterday passed the bill to credit and pay to the several States and territories all moneys collected under th direct tax act of 1861; there was a long debate on the resolution rel ative to the maltreatment of a man at Aberdean, Miss..ind a number of coun ter amendments were offered, but with out action the resolution went over; the House refused to reconsider the vote for the establishment of three penitentiaries, and a bill was reported providing for the issue of circulating notes to National banking associations, which was debated without result. Colored delegates to the National Convention, which will assemble in Washington on Monday next, will be transported at reduced rates. The defalcation of cashier Lounsburg. of the New York post office, who committed suicide, aggregates $47.-3-30. Hurricanes, of a very destruc tive character continue in northwest and central Germany.

The employed of the rolling mill, at "Birmingham. Alabama, are on a strike to force the mill into the Amal gamated Association; over one thousand men are involved, whose weekly pay is about $33,000. The Senate com mittee on Privileges and Elections have set down the Montana election contest for a hearing on February 15. John Most, the Anarchist, has secured an other stay in his sentence to one year's imprisonment pending an appeal to the Court of Appeals; he will be liberated on $-.00O ba.il. the same amount fixed in the former stay. A bill has been introduced in the Senate for the im provement of harbors, as follows: Nor folk. $457,000: Charleston. $750,000; Savannah. $500.000. John B.

President Harrison has a bust of himself in his office. It isn't half as big a bus as his administration. Indiana is jogging right along on a bee line on Tariff Reform. Their are Tariff Reform Associations now organized in seventy counties of that Stare. Secretary of State Blaine is said to be failing mentally. There are de cided outcropp.ngs of this in his at tempted reply to Gladstone on the tariff question. The Blair Educational Bore is what the Louisville Courier-Journal calls the Blair bill. As a borer the man of many petitions, resolutions, &c. is a decided success. When English syndicates have gobbled up the bulk of American manufacturing industries, perhaps the high protectionists won't regard them as American industries, and be willing to slack up some. That Alabama editor who wants to know "whither are we drifting," and informs his readers that he stands "on the watchtower in this hour of danger" must be on a float ing tower. He had better throw out an anchor, and stop drifting. Georgia boldly throws down the gauntlet to Texas, and steps to the front with a colored denizen of Athens, who, it is solemnly declared, has not sleptonce in four years. By a singular omission his 'possum re cord is not given. Herr Most, the mouthing socialist, has been sentenced to one year's im prisonment in New York for sedi tious utterances in violation of a State law. The severest feature of this penalty is that it involves a de privation of the liberty to get away ily with the usual number of .schooners of beer. It is thought in Washington that Speaker Reed will try to rule on the Russian plan, with the Russian grip, so to speak, until the contesting Re publicans are seated in place of the Democrats whose seats are con tested, thus securing a pretty sure working majority. The man from .Maine is playing a pretty bold game. 1- VOL. XLV.-NO. 118. Senator Ingalls has been thanked for his "able ajid patriotic speech" by a number of colored Louisiana Re publicans "now temporarily in Wash ington." We'll wager a pint of ground peas against all the stock that In galls takes in the negro, which is big odds, that these colored Louisiana Republicans, "now temporarily in Washington" are living off their poli tics and holding little positions in the Government Departments. The reported discovery of the in fluenza bacillus by doctors in Vienna brings the announcement that the New York doctors have been investi gating the anatomical build and pe culiarities of this industrious microbe for more than a month, which will lead to a professional dispute as to the priority of discovery. In the meantime the bacillus undisturbed will proceed with business as usual. Bishop Brewer, of Montana, thinks he will have to get recruits from England to help him in his mission ary work. In a State which at her age shows the precocious develop ment for wickedness that Montana does, there is room for missionaries, and a good many of them, but a good, first-class penitentiary ought to be one of the adjuncts of this missionary movement. Mr. Ingalls hit the nail square on the head when he said in his speech in the Senate that "the conscience of New England was never aroused to the immorality of slavery until slave ry ceased to be profitable." When she sold her slaves for the best price she could get and got rid of them, she began to discover the immorality which afterwards vexed her soul. The Philadelphia Inquirer remarks that Benjamin F. Butler is one of those unique figures in American af fairs that the world does not willing ly let die. The world must have its curiosities, monstrosities, Sec, to en tertain it, and it would miss Ben if he should turn up missing before something else of that kind had been discovered to take his place.

The object of all actors and actresses is to please their audience, and last night Miss Patti Rosa, in her charming play "Margery Daw," was successful in the highest degree. The Opera House was crowded and all who were present with one accord gave most unstinted applause to this charming actress. The play of "Margery Daw" is a comedy-drama and the programme pre sented is one which will always take. Miss Patti Rosa in her character was all that one could wish, and she has won the hearts of all by her inimitable man ner and charming ways. Mr. Geo. C. Boniface, as Wm. Duson, has great talent, and will be remembered with pleasure by all who saw him, for in his part he is the quintessence of fun.

The second anniversary meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association of Wilmington will be held at Grace M. E. Church next Sunday evening, Feb ruary 2d. The meeting will be addressed by Mr. W. S.

An address will also be delivered by State Secretary L. A. Coulter, who will be present on that occasion. A number of the pastors will partici pate in the services, having agreed to a union service on that occasion. Booming "Currie. A correspondent writes from Point Caswell, that "Currie," a station on the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railroad, seventeen and three-quarter miles from Wilmington, is "booming." "There are." he says, "six houses framed and raised, and lumber is being sawed for one or two more. A subscription list has been started a lot secured to build a church, and now that we have the op portunity the Moore's Creek people will go to town frequently." f Morn WILMINGTON, LOCAL DOTS. Items of Interest Gathered Here and There and Briefly Noted. Another present will be jgiven every newsboy who calls at the Star office next Saturday between 4 o'clock p. m. and 10 o'clock p. m. It is not likely that the city will erect another building on the site of the so-called "Fish Market." The market never paid expenses, from all accounts. There has been a decided in crease in the advertising business of the Star since January 1; and many new subscribers have been added to both its city and country lists. Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son cleared yesterday the Norwegian barque Mizpah, for Hamburg, with cargo of 1, 488 bales cotton, weighing 695,564 pounds, and valued at $74,775. The watchman at the Oil and Creosote Works, while the Market house fire was in progress yesterday morning, turned in an alarm from box 53. He explained yesterday that he thought the fire was at Northrop's mill. It is suggested that the electric light works be connected with the city's fire-alarm system, so that in case of need, the workmen there may be prompt ly notified by signal to shut off the cur rent when a fire occurs in close prox imity to the wires. One of the electric light wires was very near the Market house burned yesterday morning. Mayor Fowler see ing the danger to which the firemen might be exposed, sent a messenger to the Electric Light Co.'s works, and at his request the current was turned off, which prevented any possibility of acci dent from contract with the wire. SUPERIOR COURT. The Business of the Term Concluded Yes terday. The Superior Court for this county, Judge Graves presiding, finished the business before it yesterday morning and adjourned for the term in the after noon.

NO- K C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1890. YESTERDAY'S FIRES. A Busy Day for the Department Good Work by the Firemen. At 7.40 a. m. yesterday the Fire De partment turned out in response to an alarm from box No. 25, corner of Seventh and Harnett streets. The fire was on the roof of a two-story house, corner of Sixth and Harnett, owned by Col. F. W. Foster and occupied by Wm. Finney, colored. The fire was speedily extin guished and the damage will not exceed twenty-five dollars. There was no in surance. In the afternoon about 4 o'clock the firemen were again summoned by an alarm from box No. 15, corner of Front and Mulberry streets. The fire was in the kitchen on premises on Third street near Red Cross, occupied by the family of Mr. W. H. Jackson, engineer on the W. & W. railroad, and owned by Mr. Mulcahay, of Norfolk, Va. The damasre is estimated at about $75. The kitchen is part of the dwelling, upon which there is insurance for $1,400, with Messrs Atkinson & Manning. Maj. D. O'Connor, real estate agent, has charge of the property. The alarm for this fire should have been turned in from box 31, located at the corner of Fourth and Brunswick streets, and equi-distant from the fire with box 15. If this had been done, the engines and hose reels would have all made for Fourth street bridge, and would have been stopped at Fourth and Red Cross streets, only one block from the fire. The alarm having been turned in from box 15. corner of Front and Mulberry streets, the Atlantic and Adrian engines came down to Front street, instead of going up Fourth, and thus lost the equivalent of a half-mile in getting to the fire. The destruction of the "fish market" by fire early yesterday morning, as re ported in the Star, entails a loss of several thousand dollars. The building was the property of the city and was in sured for $1,000, with $500 insurance on the wharf on which it was built, with Messrs. Northrop. Hodges & Taylor. Front street market house, the rear end of which was damaged to the extent of two or three hundred dollars, is also in sured with Messrs. Northrop, Hodges & Taylor, for $8,000. The fish market building was occu pied by Messrs. W. E. Davis & Son, who estimate their loss at $2,500, with insur ance for $1,000 in the American of Phil adelphia, with Messrs. Smith & Boat wright; and by Messrs. S. B. Northrop & Co., who place their loss at $500, with insurance for $200, also with Messrs. Smith & Boatwright, in the Providence Washington, of Providence. R. I. Besides the above Capt. C. A. Dalbow had rented part of the building and was fixing up the place for business. He had about five dollars worth of lumber burned, and Kinyon Byrd, colored, who rented space in the building for an ice chest, and who kept a restaurant in the lower part of Front street market, suffer ed a loss of about $40, without in suranee. Messrs. Fowler & Morrison, whose wharf adjoins the Fish market, had about $20 worth of shingles burned up. The schooner R. S. Graham had masts damaged and sails burned, Loss some two or three hundred dollars; in sured; and the damage to the tug Sophie (not Savannah) which is trifling, is also covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to have been caused by sparks from a stove on a wood-flat lying near the northern end of the fish market. The flames spread with great rapidity under the influence of the high wind prevailing, and the firemen had a big job before them, when they arrived upon the scene, but tney got down to their work in fine style, at once got the fire under control, and in a remarkably short time the flames were extinguished. The Chief of the Department took the precaution to leave a detail of four men with hose to guard the premises until daylight, and prevent a recurrence of the fire from the smouldering debris. The Shooting at Maxton. A correspondent of the Star, writing from Lumberton, in reference to the killing of Sim Lowrey by J. D. Mc Queen, town marshal of Maxton, last Saturday, says McQueen shot Lowrey in self-defence; that the latter was drunk and was cutting at McQueen with a knife when the town marshal shot him. Another report is that Lowrey had threatened to kill McQueen. McQueen is now in jail at Lumberton, and will probably be tried at the present term of the Superior Court. "Sim" was the son of Steve Lowrey, the last one killed of th Lowrey gang of outlaws. The cor respondent adds that there are 32 pri soners in the county jail at Lumberton, among them four capital cases awaiting trial. Weather Forecasts. ' The following are the forecasts for to day: For Virginia, warmer weather, gener ally fair, winds shifting to southerly. For North Carolina, fair weather,- slightly warmer, northeasterly winds, becoming variable. For South Carolina, fair weather, easterly winds, slightly warmer. BUILDING ASSOCIATION. A Branch Organization Established in the City Its Aims and Purposes. A branch of the Southern Building and Loan Association was organized in the city this week with the following officers: President, Jacob S. Allen; Sec retary, Preston Cummings; Treasurer, E. S. Tennent Attorney, P. B. Man ning; Directors, Jacob S. Allen, Walker Taylor, E, S. Tennent, P. B. Manning, B. F. King. The Secretary has the books open for shares. The State agent, D. M Hardy, will be in town a few more days perfecting the work of the Local Board. The object of the Association, as stated by Mr. Hardy, is to assist mem bers in saving money and to lend the same to those that have proper securi ty at 5 per cent, with principal to be re turned in monthly payments. All loans are made through local loards. The "main office is not allowed to lend a dollar. The officers by law are not allowed to hypothecate its bonds and mortgages in any wa or form. Investors can carry any number of shares by paying the admission fee and 35 cents per month on each share which at maturity or in about six years is worth $50. The plan has attracted the attention of business men wherever it has worked and there is now over 600 branches in the South. In addition to the foregoing statement of the plans of this organization, as fur nished by Mr. Hardy, we give the fol lowing fuller information as shown in a pamphlet left at the Star office: ADMISSION. The entrance or admission fee is, for twenty or more shares, 50 cents for each share; for from ten to twenty shares, 75 cents each share; for from one to ten shares, $1 each share. In no case can a share be withdrawn except in case-of the death of the owner until after two years from the date of the certificate. LOAN FUND. The money accumulated in the loan fund is loaned at 5 per cent, interest per annum, and a premium of 5 percent, per annum, on the first approved applica tion from a member or shareholder. Loans can only be made to members or share holders. All loans must be amply se cured by first mortgage on real estate, and not to exceed 40 per cent, of the cash value, or on the shares of the Association as hereinafter provided. The shareholder desiring a loan must be a member or shareholder for six months or more, or pay or cause to be paid six months' installments in advance before he or she will be entitled to file his or her application for a loan. After shares have been in force two years, the holder may obtain a loan on them without other security, but not to exceed 75 per cent, of their then value.
