When the Senate met yesterday attlO o'clock, the new hour of meeting, but ten Senators were present, and it .was necessary to hunt up the absentees be lore business could proceed; among those absent was Mr. Sherman, who offered the resolution for the early hour of meeting, and this circumstance caused much jocular comment; a quorum hav ing been secured the tariff bill was taken up tor consideration, and a number of anicndiiientswereoffered.all of which were rejected except one proposed toy Mr. Plumb and one reported by ijhe Finance committee; four pages were dis p ;ed of, when Mr. Blair stated that3y a calculation which he hed made, the hill would be disposed of at the present rate ot progress by the 20th of next-December; in the House much time was (Miisnmed relative to the charges of cor ruption made by a newspaper, it bejng claimed that it was a question of privi lege: the Speaker, however, made an ad verse decision, which was sustained by the House; the Senate amendments :to the sundry civil bill were then considered until adjournment, the- only progress made being nonconcurrence in the irri gation amendment. The bodies of two .if the victims of the steamboat oilisinn in Chesapeake Bay were re covered yesterday; all of the missing are now accounted for. and the number of deaths resulting from the collision is now kuown to be fourteen. It is rep. rted that Gen. Rivas, of -Salvador, re ailed from Honduras, after a hand some reception at the capital, has turned traitor, and with a force of two thousand h.ts stormed the barracks. The Treasury Department estimates that the public debt has been reduced about iour million dollars during the month of July. The cholera epidemic in Mecca shows no signs of abatement, the deaths from the disease averaging eighty daily. A Sydney dispatch reports dis orders in the Samoan villages, and it is the opinion among Europeans that Eng land. Germany and the United States should form a government for the coun try. Serious damage was done in Buenos Ayres by the two days' bom bardment by the insurgent fleet; one thousand persons were killed and five thousand wounded. The ravages . t the cotton worm are increasing in the Nile districts. During the week s.i,:i7".0OO worth of gold bars has been ordered from the New York assay office lor shipment to Europe. Mr. i h r!ert has been nominated for Con gress by acclamation in the Second Ala hima district; he is now serving his seventh term. The Woman's ( lnistian Temjerance Union closed its se-ion last night at Asheville; the ses .'.n has far excelled expectation in irrv particular. Thirty-eight !i uises were burned in a mining town in Pennsylvania yesterday; most of them were small frame houses occupied by Hungarians;the loss is estimated at $100,- HM. K. Y. markets: Money easy at U'j-1 per cent.; cotton dull; middling cij.lands 12ic; middling Orleans 12 7-Hic; southern flour quiet; wheat dull, !.)v.rr and weak; No. 2 red 9G)9Gc t levator; corn dull; No. 2, 52c; rosin tr.idv; spirits turpentine quiet at 41 Ti.jc. It is not an electrical machine tor voting that is needed in Con gress, but a machine to keep a quo rum of the boys within reach. An English syndicate has been formed to run a 5,000-acre cranberry farm in New Jersey. The next thing the grasping English syndicate will be reaching out for will be our huckleberry patches. Inventor John A. Enos wants Con gress to pay him $60,000 to put up an electric voting machine in the House. A machine of this kind is entirely superfluous while Boss Reed has got the counting down so fine. The report of the Johnstown Flood Relief Commission, which has just been published, a copy of which we have received, shows the amount of cash contributions as far as they can be ascertained to be $4,146,- N01.4K. "Wimodaughsis," the name of the woman's society recently organized in Washington, is an abbreviation of Wife-Mother-Daughter-Sister. Em bracing the wife, mother, daughter and sister all at once in this fashion may be all right for the Wimo daughsis, but no man should at tempt it. Assaulting and robbing ladies in broad day light in the city of Wash Jn?ton is becoming a matter of fre quent occurrence. The morals of Washington hare become very bad Slnce so many Republicans have flocked in there. The general loot lng of the treasury is having its effect ln emboldening the smaller thieves. ?r-f;.vj xn .'II- i am vi ,ii i v . ii - vv , 1 1- i . CaptainrTillman Ahft tit into K Governor of South Carolina, is forty three years old, bliad of one eye runs a twenty plow' farm, has forty Jersey cows and sells butter at thirty five cents a pound, j Why any man with one eye who can make 35 cent butter wants to fool his time away being Governor for, we can't see with two eyes. Thf man that can make that kind of butter is more needed on the farm in this country than in the Governor's chair. Congressman McConnell, that airy Republican from" the breezy State of Nebraska, says he wasn't fooling when he introduced his bill to pension the ex-slaves of the South which would take about $800,000, 000. The bosses should send for this able statesman to stump the colored districts ot the South where he could play on that bill, jas they used to play the forty-acre-and-a-mule racket. There is some doubt about the re election of Congressman Wade, Re publican, of the 13th Missouri dis trict, because he is charged with bri bery, and what's more they have proved it on him. ' This don't affect his orthodox Republicanism, but there are enough of people in that district who don't ! believe that bri bery is a necessary qualification of a Congressman to beat him. Blocks-of-five Dudley has no hope of carrying Indiana. He says "there isn't salt enough in the ocean to make that State Republican this year." They have succeeded in do ing it sometimes with "soap," but we never knew that they used salt in connection with! it. They should have a good stock of it on hand, however, for they will need it next fall to salt the remains. A scientist figuring on how ocean freights have been cheapened in late years, says that half a sheet of note paper burned, in connection with the triple expansion engine, will produce heat enough to carry a ton a mile on an Atlantic steamer. We would now like to have him figure out how far the paper containing one of Senator Evart's sentences would run the steamer. One Michigan man mistook an other for a bear and shot him. When a Michigan man starts out with a shot gun and unexpectedly runs afoul of another Michigan man prowling around in the bushes and he takes him for a bear, there's no telling the trouble for that man may be a bruin. It is now definitely announced that Senator Vance will deliver an address at the fair of the Lumber River Industrial and Live Stock As sociation, at Red Springs, Friday, August 15. The fair will be held on the 14th, 15th and 16th, and several thousand visitors are expected. Out of thirty-seven public building bills presented to the President this session he has signed thirty-four and vetoed three, two out of the three being in the South. Chairman Eaves has called a Re publican State convention to meet at Raleigh, Aug. 28. He wants to find out how much of the party is left. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Star Office Babbitt metal.

The Fayetteville Observer says that "Cumberland Lodge Knights of Pythias of that town will run an excursion to Wilmington and Carolina Beach August 20th, and it being the last excursion to the seashore for this season the Knights intend to make it a grand affair. The lodges at Bennettsville, Tatum, Maxton,; Laurinburg and Gibson's have been in vited, and the three lodges at Wilming ton will be requested to join them be low. Rev. W. S. Creasy, State lecturer, will deliver an address at the Beach, and short speeches are expected from other prominent members of the Order. That magnificent steamer Sylvan Grove, has been secured to convey the excur sionist from Wilmington to the Beach, and our gallant Knights will spare no pains to make the occasion one of u h alloycd pleasure to all who go." Members of the lodges in Wilmington whose attention has been called to the above, say that the Knights of Wil mington will give a hearty welcome to their visiting brethren, and that no doubt many of them will unite in the excursion to the Beach. THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE. Its Proposed Extension to Augusta, Qa. The Augusta Chronicle mentions the arrival in that city ot General Manager Harry Walters, of the Atlantic Coast Line, accompanied by Col. Warren Elliot, President of the Wilmington & Weldon railroad, and Col. Fleming Gardner, Chief Engineer of the Coast Line, for the purpose of making ar rangements with the authorities of that city for the right of way and a depot site for the proposed extension of the At lantic Coast Line to Augusta. "Our plans," said Mr. Walters, "con template reaching Augusta from Man chester. S. C, a small town the other side of Orangeburg. It is known as the Manhattan & Augusta railroad and leaves the Wilmington, Columbia & Au gusta railroad at Sumter, then down to the Santee river and through to Orange burg and to Augusta, passing about a mile from Aiken. The road has been sur veyed and is graded for most of its length. At present an angle is des cribed going to Wilmington. This will be cut off and a saving of sixty-iwo miles result.

He gave the name oi the man and a warrant was -issued for his arrest, Trues dale being locked up iivthe meantime to await an investigation. BRYAN GASTON. More Developments Identified . as the Highwayman .Who Attacked Mail Car rier Capps His , Confession Supposed Connection "With the Fails Murder. With -each day's developments the be lief strengthens that Bryan Gaston, alias Ed. Phifer, is the murderer of Nathan Fails. But there is nothing to. connect him with the crime beyond the fact that he is known to be a desperate crim inal, who has by his own confession at tacked people on the highway, that he was known to have had in his possession a 32-calibre pistol, and that he stoutly denies that he has ever been on the turnpike road, where Fails was mur dered, while it is certain that he was seen on the road before and after the murder by several persons. Yesterday he was again brought be fore the Mayor and interrogated. Manly Capps, the mail carrier, who was at tacked by a highwayman on the 17th of June last, was present and identi fied Gaston as the man who stop ped him and Mr. Kedar Bryan on the day mentioned and attempted to rob them. Mr. Capps said that he and Mr. Bryan were walking behind their cart, on the Newbern road, in Pen der county,, about twenty-two miles from Wilmington, and overtook a ne gro whom he recognized to be the pris oner. That the man demanded their money, and Mr. Bryan drew a pistol and attempted to shoot the negro, but the pistol lailed to fire, and that they both then ran to the cart and the man fired at them with a pistol. Gaston at first denied that he was the man who attacked them, but upon further ques tioning he admitted that he fired at them, alleging as a reason that they had attempted to shoot him. A colored woman named Hagar Cromartie, gave some importaut evidence. She had been hunted up by the police, who found her at a house in a section of the city beyond the Carolina Central railroad, known as "Dross Neck," and peopled altogether by negroes. She produced a ragged blue cloth coat and a pair of checked pants which she said Gaston had changed at her house for the suit he is now wearing, shortly after the Fails murder. She also told the Mayor that Gaston, while handling his pistol m her house had accidentally discharged it, and that the ball striking the chimney rolled to the floor and was picked up and put on the mantel. She was sent with an officer to search for it and it was found and given to the Mayor. It was a 32-calibre ball the size of the bullet that killed Mr. Fails. As stated Gaston denied stoutly that he had ever been on the Wrightsville turnr pike, except to cross it on one occasion, near the Mineral Spring; but there were witnesses present at the examination yesterday who swore positively that they had seen him on the road. Robert Bowcns, colored, saw Gaston near the Mineral Spring a few days be fore the murder of Mr. Fails. Mr. Pat ton, who keeps the second toll house, testified that he saw a negro repeatedly on the road whom he recognized as the prisoner. There were others who testi fied to seeing a man resembling the pris oner on the pike, among them J. Walton and - Frank Todd, of Masonboro, who testified that a few days before the Fails murder, just after dark, a negro resem bling Gaston passed them on the road to the Sound with a pistol in his hand. Mr. A. J. Yopp and Mr.W. D. Burkhi mer met a colored man on the turnpike who resembled Gaston, the night that Mr. Fails was murdered, but it was too dark for them to be able to identify the prisoner as the man. ot th3 Be v. Sam Jones. Col. F. W. Foster, of the firm of Fore & Foster called at the office of Mr. J. M. Forshee yesterday on a matter of busi ness and asked to see him; Mr. Forshee was not in. but a lad in the office look ing at the Colonel intently for a mo ment, told him to be seated and that he thought he could find the gentleman in a few moments'. The lad hur ried up to Messrs. Adrian & Vol ler's store, where he inquired of the book-keeper if he had seen Mr. For shee; that the Rev. Sam Jones was at Mr. Forshee's office and wished to see him. The book-keeper dropjd his pen, rushed around in an excited manner, hunting for his hat, and started off in great haste to meet the Rev. Sam Jones. Imagine his disappointment and chagrin when Col. Foster met him with a smile on. his beaming countenance and asked, with the utmost solicitude, the cause of his great excitement. Visitor From Bennettsville. An excursion party of about one hun dred from the Marlboro section of South Carolina arrived in Wilmington yester day afternoon about 3 o'clock by train on the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley rail road. Some forty or fifty of the party, including a number of ladies, were trans ferred from the steamer Compton to the Passport and went down to Carolina Beach! The.- excursionists will remain in the city to-day and visit the sound and other places of interest; returning home this evening. THE FAILS MURDER. A " Preliminary Investigation in the Case of a Suspect. A preliminary investigation into the case of a colored man named Maynard, arrested some days ago by the county authorities on suspicion of complicity in the murder of Nathan Fails, was held yesterday in the County Jail, before R. H. Bunting, J. P., and in the presence of Col. B. R. Moore, Solicitor of the Criminal Court. There were, besides, three or four persons from the Sound, supposed to have been present as wit nesses, but what testimony was given or whether they could furnish any evidence bearing on the case or not was a close secret. One of the witnesses Jno. A. Barker who was brought up from the workhouse said he had been sum moned to testify as to a pistol he had re paired for Maynard. He said that the pistol in question, however, was a big old-fashioned thing that carried a ball much larger than the one that killed Mr. Fails. Suspicion was directed to Maynard because it was known that he had been a tenant of Tails' and had been driven off by the deceased, who accused him of killing his hogs. This goes to show that the county detectives are working upon the theory that Fails was killed out of revenge and not by an ordinary high wayman for his money. She Reports Promptly. The repairs on the popular steamer Sylvan Grove were completed yesterday. and she resumes her place on fhe Caro- hna Beach line this morning. The woik was of a rather complicated char acter, but it was admirably executed by employes of Messrs. Burr & Bailey's foundry and machine shops, assist ed by Mr. Philip Piatt, engineer of the steamer. The casting, a composition of copper and brass, was made by Mr. Adolph Nelson, and the finishing and fitting was done by Messrs. Philip Piatt and Price Yopp. Competent and disinterested judges pronounce the job highly creditable to the skill of Wilmington mechanics, and equal to anything of the kind they have ever seen.
