An American travelling in Europe says it isn't the lack of confidence in this Government's ability to meet its obligations, which is creating the "lack of confidence in Europe,," which causes the drain of gold, but lack of confidence in the management of our railroads, too many of which have gone into the hands of wreckers.

The recent in spection by an army engineer officer of the location of the proposed lighthouse off Diamond Shoal leads engineering ex perts to the opinion that the only struc ture which can withstand the terrific seas and winds will be that built on tbe skel eton plan, or a simple tower of steel splies driven a hundred or more feet in the sands. Last Summer four such spiles. were driven in the sboal, and borings1 made to determine the nature of the bot tom. The slight structure still stands as a day beacon, and serves in a measure to warn mariners off tbe coast in day light. The way it has stood the pound ing leads tbe Lighthouse Board to be lieve that a spiderlike design will stand the sets and plans are now being pre pared in this line. Diamond snoai is ten mues .on nat- teras, and is covered with water varving n depth from seven to thirty feet. Tbe only warmne manners bave of l's locality is tbe great lighthouse standing on Hatteras Cape, ten miles away. Tbe proposed light will be 150 feet above tbe water, and will bave tbe quarters ana rooms for sopp if s well above tne highest ooint the waves cm reach. Ibe nature of the" light will admit of both wind and seas passing through with "but little CD S' ruction, and thus insure greater safety tban if it were constructed of solid masonry, as was at first contemplated. Tbe Board proposes making tbe at tempt to erect the light some time this fp ing, when the weather is favorable for work. The New barn Fair. The fair lasts a week, beginning Mon day. February 18th. Season tickets, if 4 purchased before the fair commences, can be obtained for $1 50 for adults and 75 cents for children. If you intend go ing all the week buy a ticket before the fair opens. The indications are that the exhibits this year will surpass all previous fairs. The secretary is daily receiving notifica tions of exhibits and applications for space. The racing track has been put in fine order, and the racing will undoubtedly be first-class. Tbe race premiums ag gregate $3,000; the largest ever offered in the State. Hanover Cornet Band. At a meeting of tbe Hanover Cornet band tbe following officers were elected for tbe ensuing year : -President Jesse Canady. Vice President R. P. McClammy. Secretary and Treasurer Tohn W. GaSord. Leader R. P. McClammy. The band contemplates giving an en tertainment at an early date for the pur pose of getting uniforms. Steamer Clarence. The little steamer Clarence, which some time ago ran between Wilmington and Southport as mail and passenger boat, was sold yesterday by Mr. Junius Davis, receiver of the Bank of New Hanover, to Capt. Bulwinkle and others of Charleston, S. C. Capt. Edgar Wil Hams, with the tug Marion, will tow tbe Clarence to that port as soon as the weather permits. Illicit Distilling. Stephen and John Batchelor, white men from Onslow county, were brought before U. S. Commissioner Bunting yes terday charged with operating an illicit distillery in that county. After investi gation they were required to give, bond for their appearance at the next term of the U. S. District Court in the sum of $200 each, and. the bonds not being given they were sent to j il.

Beporta of President and O her OSLoers Made at the Annual Meeting Tuesday, Ftbroarj 6th, 1895- ; PRESIDENT'S REPORT. Gentlemen : I This : is the 42d anniversary of the Seaman's Friend Society; and while not anything of special notice has occurred during tbe past year, I am pleased to state that generally more interest Is ob served to make the institution a com plete success. I The committee on religious services deserve much credit for their untiring tfforts, which resulted in services being beld at tbe Bethel every Sabbaih save one, which was beld on board the British steamship Chatfield by special request, and tbe music ov the choir was much enjoyed, especially by the sea men. We again thank tbe American Sea men's Fnecd Society of New Yo k for donation made annually by them ior the support of a chaplain, 1 he property is in good repair, and our financial condition will be shown bv tbe report of the Treasurer, Tbe Reading Room was closed, the cause for whieh will be probably stated by the committee in c barge. It resulted, however, in add ing $500 per year to our meagre income. wnicb will materially aid in liquidating our mortgage indebtedness. Crews ot several vessels wrecked at sea, brought to this port in a destitute condition, were cared for at our expense. The reports ot the Chaplain and other committees, with that of the Keeper of the Seamen's Home, will give you all otber information connection connected Kith the management-ef our Society to which your attention will be directed.

C, Feb j. 1895: The organic instrument upon which the Seamen's Friend Society is organ ized, declares in its second article that The leading object of this Society shall be to improve the social, moral and re ligious condition and character of Sea men, and to tms end requires tbe es tablishment of a "MifsiorCburch in which tbe teaching and ministration ot the Gospel shall be secured. ' In furtherance ot this obiect tbe un dersigned have for the last year been en trusted by your Board with the spiritual oversight of seamen and the conduct of religious services in tbe Bethel. By vis iting tbe ships, by personal solicitation of the marine element, by attendance upon the sick and burial of tbe dead, and by regular religious seivices each Sunday afternoon in the Bethel, we have endeavored to compass the purpose lor which we were appointed. The attendance upon these services up to the time ot tbe closing ol tbe Reading Room was very much larger. as far as the sailors are concerned, than for many recent years. The abolish ment of that Reading Room, which was so admirably conducted and which un questionably in an eminent degree pro moted tbe moral and social inten tions of the founders of this Society, has bad a very, disastrous effect upon our efforts for the religious culture of seamen. The Reading Room and Bethel combined covered, in our opin ion, tbe the organic purpose of this so ciety, to wit: tbe social, moral and reh gious care of seamen. Oar experience and conviction since the closing of said Reading Room is that the religious oversight of tbe marine element in Wilmington is most sadly weakened by tbe withdrawal of this absolutely neces sary adjunct to tbe moral and social ad vancement and protection of seamen, and we would most respecrfully, yet urgently, impress upon your Board the dutv ot at once restoring said reading room as tbe natural accomplishment of your fiduciary functions. Committe on Public Worship W. J Woodward and James 1. Mens. Chaplains J. Carmichael and A. D. McCiure. The thanks of the Society were ten dered to the American Seamen's Friend Society of the city of New York, for their generous contribution of $400 00 during the past year, which enabled them to carry on religious work, and they were earnestly requested to con tinue tbe same appropriation lor tbe coming year. Tbe thanks of the Society were voted to the choir for their faithful attendance at the Bethel, and for the services ren dered; The former Secretary, Mr. Geo..R. French, having' declined re-election, Mr. James Sprunt moved that the thanks of the Society be tendered to him for his faithful performance of duty for tbe past sixteen years. A Water Tower Battery. An addition to the San Francisco fire department has been made which is briefly described as follows: The fire department of this city bas acquired a water tower battery, invent ed by a department macninist, wnicn will i throw four thousand gallons or sixteen tons of water per minute into a burning building. That is 1.&U0 gallons more tban can be ' discharged through the nozzle used on top of the tower.
