Al most Nlraculonsly, Mo Lives Were I.oNt Auolher Steamer ReBcues Tlie Passenieers, Savannah, Oa., Aug. 31. The stenm- sliii Ilirminghani of the Ocean Steam ship company, two days ovci due, arrived at Savannah at 7 o'elock last evening bringing a portion of the passengers and crew of the steamship City of Savannah, wrecked Monday morning on the shoals six miles from St. Helena light house, South Carolina at 5 a. m. The City of Savannah left Boston on Thursday afternoon. Sunday she en countered the full force of the Kale and the water began pouring into her hole. Seeing that the ship could last but a few hours longer, Capt. Savage headed her for shoal water. Early Monday morning the steamer was heard scraping against the bottom and the passengers knew they had reached shoal water. The vessel was ruu as far UL'ioimd as pos sible. The huge waves broke over her with increasing force and beat the ship to pieces. The cabins were smashed and carried away. Capt. Savage and the officers and crew used every elfort to prevent loss of life among the passengers, and they were successful. Not a life was lost from aboard the ship. The passen gers were moved first from one side to the other low water portion ot the ship where the waves seemed to beat with less force. Tuesday morning the two life boats were manned aud filled with the women and children, about fifteen in all. They arrived at Collin I'oint, St. Helena ls- and, where they are at present. 1 nose who remained on the City of Savannah weie rescued by the City of Birmingham, which left New Vork Sat urday, August li6. Cape llattcras was rounded on Sunday about midnight, aud about 2 a. in., the wind and sea increased fearfully and with daylight one of the grandest but most fearful of sights met the eyes ot the passengers who were able to raise their heads from their pillows. As far as the eye could reach could be seen the enormous seas which seemed to lasb each other in their madness. The ship seemed to be but a mite in the hands of the elements to be dashed about at their mercy. At 1 o'eluck p. in., how ever, the storm began to abate and just before dark the ship was again put on her course. At davlight Tuesday parts of vessels such a.i hoars, portion of decks, pieces ol lumber and paraphernalia of every discriptiou iartaining to vessels and cargo were to be seen in every direction. Tuesday at O p. m. the Cuv ot bavau- uah was sighted ashore iu the breakers about six miles south ot St. Helena ghthouse. It was impossible to at tempt to rescue the unlortunates until day light. The Birmingnam was an chored, aud on Wednesday morning boats in charge ot 1-irst Oftieer Johnson and Second Officer Hamilton, reached the ship and the rescue ot those on board was etlectcd with safctv. The passengers ot the wrecked steamer who were seen at the ship spoke in the highest terms of Captain Savage, of the Savannah and also of Captain Berg, of the Birmingham, to the braverv ot these men tlicy said they owed their lives. (iOUD CRUP8. TUev Will Srlitie Wealth luio Old Carolina. Davidson, N. C, Aug. 27. Your corres pondent has lately mads a tour of South Iredell, even from here to Statesville, and talked with a goodly number of farmers in this section, (which, by the way, is about as good a one as is in the State). 1 hey all sav the wheat crop was the best in years, the grain being very large aud perfect. One threshing machine firm re ports having threshed over $15,1 DO bushels of grain. They had been in the business about 15 years and they say this is the best crop they ever threshed. One crop, that of Mr. John K. Oood- inan.ot Kowan county, gave Gd.S bushels ot wheat without one grain of cockle or cheat. Mr. Goodmen is one of the men who makes farming pay although he has no advantage over hundreds ot others, rather the opposite, as he is physically too weak to do much labor himself. If he succeeds, why not others? as he must hire nearly all his labor. 1 he cotton crop in the above section is rather short, but there was more planted which will probably make up for it. Early corn in some neighborhoods was badly damaged by drought. The fruit crop is the most abundant in a long time and everybody was very busy drying and canning it for winter use, every one supposing there would be no market for it at all. Charlotte Observer. BLACK MOUNTAIN NICWSs. AltMVNU THIi DEPOT. Truiuiuaster Foster Talks About Railroad Business, "Yes, sir," said Trainmaster Foster, of the Richmond and Danville, to The Citizen, "times were never so dull with the railroads as they now are. This time last year I was skirmishing around after train crews, so great was the traffic. Now well, we run only two freight trains each way a day on the main line, while on the Murphy branch our freight train is a tri-weekly. If the movement of freight over there gets much less, why, then it will be a try-weekly sure enough. As yet there. lias been no intimation ot a cut in the wages of our employes, although we have reduced forces wher ever it has been possible, without im pairing the service. But several ot the great roads of the country have cut wages, and there's no telling what will happen." Then Mr. Foster talked about the storm of Monday, which brought out the fact that he had been iu something of the kind in 1SS7 at Morehcad City, when the wind blew so mightily that one could see the walls of the' hotel pressed inward by the fury of the blast. foster was one of the lessees of the A TARIFF FOR REVENUE Mr. hotel at Morehcad in 18KC.

IJX OJS I.AHOlt U.1V, Foot Hacei Hurdle Races, a linme. ol linscliall, i:c. The Labor day .athletics under the auspices of the iJiltuiore stonecutters, and given for the benefit ol the Mission hospital, form a topic lor general discus sion and beyond u doubt will attract a large crowd to Carrier's track next Mont'ay, where the sports begin ot 1 o'clock p. m. Almost every variety of race wiil be seen, from a foot race to a test of speed between Arthur M. Field on a bicycle and Frank O'Doiinell's horse. A promi nent feature will be the live-innings game of baseball between the Business Men and Stonecutters. This promises to bs as interesting as the fatuous We L'ns You I'ns game last season. For the Business Men Dr. J. S. Grant will catch while Lawrence McLoud and II. Merri mon will relieve each other in the pitch er's box. Banker V. II. I'enland, who has been there before, many a time, and who knows basebull when he sees it or even hears it, will cover first base for all it is worth. Mr. I'enland and Dr. Grant are wearing injured fingers today as a result of practicing yesterday, but they will be on deck for the game. The sports throughout will beintcrcst aud the people of Asheville should give them a very liberal patronage. STEAUV, TIllOKi; ! Au O fit-lice Tlial (JarrleH js l'l:ie Willi St. Waterworks Superintendent Murray calls the attention of the public to sec tion 711 of the city cot:e, and promises that violators thereof, who bob up frc- picntly, will be punished, whenever dis covered. The section reads. : 'Any person or persons who shall t ake water from a public fountain or tire plug within the citv of Ashcvillr, in a barrel, or water a horse or any animal ut the same, or wilfully or negligently, bv violent use or otherwise injure or damage the same, shall, oa conviction, be lined $25." Violations of this ordinance, Superin tendent Murray savs, occur often, it ap parently being quite the thing lor a per son to open the plug by means of a wrench and get all the water tie wishes.

It is gratifying to know that so many Chariest onians have had the good for tune to orotect themselves against hiss by tornado and cyclone insurance. It will come in very lnndilv for supplying the means with which to repair the dam- ige done bv the cyclone. 1 he agencies did not seem disposed to give out the figures ot the cvcloue insurance thev have in force, but at an approximate figure it iii.iv be put at something over a million dollars. Of course, at this time, it is im practicable to say how much tin compa nies will lose, but they make the conserv ative estimate of 10 per cent, losses. Charleston News aud Courier.

Washington, Aug. 31. The decision of the committee on ways and means yesterday to give a heaving to persons interested in the preparation of the tarifl bill between the 4 th and 20th of Septem ber does not exhaust the intentions of the committee iu that regard. Chairman Wilson has been instructed to present a resolution for consideration by the House, authorizing the committee through its various suh-eoiiiiiiittces to pursue investigations of several subjects over which they have special charge. The expense of these investigations is to he paid out of the contingent fund of the House upon a warrant of the chairman of the committee. This will meet the criticism of Kecd yesterday that "18 or 20 hours seenis a short time to devote to a presentation of the great manufactur ing and producing interests of the coun try." HII.VI.lt RU.ED orx. It May lie Legislated oil lu The liui future. Washington, Aug. 20 The most sur prising vote of the day was the tremen dous majority against free coinage at sixteen to one. It was as much a sur prise to the administration leaders as to their opponents. They had not counted on more than 10 majority. A round hundred was more than they had ven tured to hope. The break in the South ern delegation was the most striking cause of the change. Texas, cast three vmes against free coinage, Arkansas one, Alabama two, and Georgia three. On this ratio West Virginia three, Tennes see four anil Kentucky seven. Of the two from Alabama, Colonel dates wes one. He came in from his sick bed to vole against free coinage, and for repeal. The passage of the repeal bill through the House by such a tremendous major ity is expected to act like a tidal wave (lowing upon the Senate. The most en thusiastic free coinage men could hardly now persist in any plan to prevent ac tion on repeal without substitute legis lation favorable to silver, provided a majority proves to be for unconditional repeal, and that is no longer a doubtful question. The Senate undoubtedly stands for repeal, and I have it upon au thority of the leading members of that body that it will act within less than three weeks. Thus it may be put down that silver is ruled out for the present. There may be legislation later favorable to silver, but that is iu the dim and distant future. Atlanta Constitution.
