LVI.-NO. 126. wasmngtoa dispatch to the New Orleans Picayune says there is no disposition to deprive the sugar planters of their bounty, but that the Treasury is hard pushed and is only staving xfipayment until it is a little more flush, whereupon the Picayune remarks that "$5,000,000 Is a small amount to embarrass a great Govern ment like this. But in the Ian guageof Abe Lincoln, it Is a good deal easier to pay $1,000 when you've got it than it is to pay ten cents when you haven't got it, or words to that effect. Perhaps Mr. Morton could give a hint for relief by suggesting that the sugar planters be paid In silver dollars. - Women figure more in bank mat ters in this country than is generally supposed. Advance sheets of Comp troller Eckels' report show that of of the $7,999,413 shareholders in the national banks, 1,738,772 are women. Out of the 3,618,804 shares in State banks women hold 481,098. There are 383 women employed, mainly as clerks in national banks, and 584 in State banks. While the national banks pay them only an overage of $185.11 a year the State banks pay them $450.43. The Washington Post remarks that "The cause of free silver has, been seriously handic ipped by its advo cates, who persist in making them selves ridiculous. The cause of sound money has suffered consider ably from the same disease." With proper limitations there may be some truth in this, but we more than half suspect that the concluding portion of it may have been suggested by some of Secretary Morton's recent. performances. A pretty strong effort is being made in Georgia to have the sen tence of Mrs. Nobles, who was con victed of murdering her husband, commuted to imprisonment by peo ple who do not like the idea of hang ing a woman, well, it isn t a nice spectacle but a woman who would deliberately plan the murder of a husband and hire a negro to help her do the job isn't entitled to a very large amount of sympathy.

C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, C0TOTY C0WMI8SI0HERS . Conclude Consideration of Complaints o Orsr-Vilnation of Property. The County Commissioners, sitting as a board of equalization, yesterday con cluded', their, task of considering com plaints of - over-valuation of property. They wish it understood that in making changes in assessments they took into consideration the valuation of contigu ous property, and endeavored to equalize it as near as possible." Valuation of property of Hall & Pear sall, in block 60, reduced to $4,000. Valuation of property of B. F. Hall, in block 172, reduced from $4,000 to $3,500. On motion, the valuation of property of J. L. Cantwell, agent, in block 172, was increased from $1,900 to $2,200. .r: Valuation of property of A. J. Howell. in block 153, reduced from $4,500 to $4,- 200. On motion the Board authorized the Chairman not to re-open any question regarding valuation of property that had been passed upon by the Board. Valuation of property of Mrs E. S. Waddell, in block 208, reduced from $8,000 to $3,750. Valuation of propsrty of Sol Stern- berger, in block 161, reduced from $1,000 to $750. Valuation of property of R.J.

The Speedy Six Spinning on the Pike- Not Sanguine, Bnt Hopeful of Bueccaa. The Wilmington team was out by six o'clock yesterday morning and did a five mile spin on the "pike" in a most encouraging manner. The team is get ting in good condition and while not sanguine of success, will endeavor to make Charlotte ride fast to beat them. They place great confidence in their little mascotte," Trilby, Jr., and pre dict a good race whether they win or lose. The inclemency of the weather and the poor condition of the turnpike have interferred seriously with our boys' training. It seems strange that, while Greens boro and Charlotte have good bicycle tracks and fine racing facilities, Wil Ptnington should have nothing of the kind. It is a serious handicap to race on a circular track, after having trained on a straight-away course. A fcood shell track could be constructed at a comparatively nominal cost, . and it is an improvement Wilmington should possess. The races to be contested in Charlotte will be three miles, one mile, a half mile and a quarter mile in distance. The team, consisting of Messrs. Rankin, Wright, Banting, Sawyer, Springer and "Little Trilby" Turrentine, will leave for Charlotte Saturday afternoon. They will spend Sunday in Charlotte, and will race Monday or Tuesday, according to the weather. THIEVES CAPTURED. Six Negro Boys Who Entered and Bobbed a Beaidenoe In the City. Six negro boys, Fritz Bowman, Willie Wilkins, William Lane, Zephenia Samp son, John McKoy and Sing McKoy, charged with breaking into and robbing the residence of Mr. F. A. Lord, corner of Front and Ann streets, were arraigned yesterday in the City Court before Mayor pro tem Harriss. The robbery was committed last Sat urday night, during the absence of Mr. Lord and family, who are spending the Summer at Ocean View. Two of the boys, about ten years old, said that they had been forced by the older boys to break a pane of glass in one of the windows and enter and un lock the back door. The young thieves ransacked the house from top to bot tom; broke open every trunk, and scat tered the contents around the room, rummaged through the bureau-drawers, and carried away whatever they fancied Among the articles taken are two pairs eye-glasses, a pistol, two razors, a lady's bracelet, a gold chain, and silver- handled table knives. Some of the articles stolen have been traced. After the investigation the Mayor re quired a bond of $250 from each of the culprits, and in default thereof they were committed to iail for trial at the next term of the Superior Court for this county. Liost Bins Beoorered. It was announced in the Star of Tuly 16th that Mrs. Walter W Smith, of Max- ton, while in the surf at Carolina Beach the previous day, bad lost two gold rings, one of them being her. engagement ring. Just one month afterwards, August 15tb, this ring was found on the beach, having been washed up by the tides, by two! children of Mr. Victor Grainger. Mr. Grainger recalled the fact that he had seen some mention of the loss in the Star; so, he looked up the paper, got the address of Mrs. Smith and forwarded the ring to her by Express. . This shows that if anvthine is lost "in the earth beneath, or in the waters un der the earth," the Star can fetch it. Encyclopaedia Brltannica.

Notch Carolina Farmers Alltanoe Insurance Company Talk of leaning Bond For Street Improvements Whooping Cough Typhoid Fever-Beoretary Coke Re Setter Stamen --to the Silver Call Ae cessiona to Populism. . Star Correspondence. : Raleigh, N. c, Aug. 21. Editor Ayer, ot the Caucasian, tells me that he has added 400 new subscrib ers to its subscription list in the past few days. This can be attributed to the interest awakening among Populists by the recent silver rallies. Raleigh: was visited by a severe light ning and rain storm last evening. Rain has come in spasms this Summer. Once we have too much and then again not enough. Some of the "wise men" agree with Forecaster Dunn in that we are to have a great deal more heat. They say that we are short in heat and that it is bound to come. A branch of the North Carolina Farm ers fire insurance company has Deen organized in this city. This is a kind ot Alliance feature promising much good to the farmers. Mr. J. S.C. Carpenter is State agent. A branch cannot be organ ized without fifty members to start with. The payments are known as the assess ment plan, that is. if one of the insured members sustain a less of property, the other forty-nine pay for it. The in surance is confined strictly to county property. Mr. W. W. Snellings was elected President and Mr. H. E. Litch ford Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. A. M. Powell represents the Knights of Honor in this city at the meeting of the Grand Lodge which takes place to-day at Morehead. The Epwortn League gave a delight ful reception last evening.

The trustees of the baptist female University hope to be able to resume operations at an early date on the build ings now in course of erection.

It is very near certain tnat tnere win be only one afternoon paper in this city after Monday next. The new paper will probably be named Press- Visitor. The matter of issuing bonds lor per manent street improvement is being talked of very much in Raleigh of late. The Finance Committee ot the Board of Aldermen recommended in their last report that bonds to the extent of 2200.000 be issued. The Mayor and a majority of the Aldermen lavor the issuance of bonds, but as to the exact amount they fail to agree; some favor $50,000, and others think that $100,000 or 1)150.000 would be sufficient. It is very certain that an election will be ordered by the aldermen, l nis win reauire prooaDiy sixty aays irom tne date ot tne recornmenaation to noia tne election. The bonds can be floated easily. One alderman tells me that the issuance of bonds will save tax-payers 10 per cent. Monroe Y arbor ough was arrested here to-day, wandering around the streets with a little negro boy from the country about ten years of age. Yarborough is crazy on the subiect of religion and talks also about family troubles. He claims to live near Roxboro, Person county. The authorities have tele graphed to the sheriff of Person county auestionine him about the matter. The little negro has never been to "town' before and is very happy. He says he likes his quarters in the station house. The man told the boy tnat ne was carry ins? him to Roxboro and he had no idea of his arrival at Raleigh when he struck town. Mr. A.

Bnt It Will Be So Only Because the Prize Is for the Yellow Metal. Wilmington and Charlotte are much interestedjn the games of ball to be played by the "Blackstockings" and the 'Quicksteps." The Observer of yester day says : "A telegram was received yesterday morning from the Wilmington guaran tors of the prize base ball contest, stat ing that the Wilmington club accepted the challenge of the Quicksteps to play three games in this city, the 24th, 26th and 27th inst. The citizens of Wilming ton must have faith in their team for they are willing to lose a purse of $100, that amount having been raised in gold for three games to be played there after the games here. The Quicksteps are slightly nervous over the acceptance as the Wilmington ciud aownea tnem once last year, but if she does it again she will have to hustle. But the Wilmington club is going to win the $100 in gold in Charlotte, and then win again in Wilmington. Star. 1895. sparkling catawba springs.
