HKUU THERE IS NO RENEWAL OP THE TROUBLE. Steps Were Promptly Taken to Protect the City. Ths Visitor's news about the riot at Winston early yesterday morning was eagerly read. Some one started a story that a crowd was going to take Arthur Tuttle, the negro who mur dered policeman Tickers, last May, out of jail and lynch him. Thia news was given out at all of the colored churches during service and resulted in the formation of a mob umber ing about 250 negroes, who marched to the jail to prevent, as they claimed, any interference with Tuttle. The crod was armed with pistols and guns. Mayor E. E. Gray was advised an hour later of the situation. He went to the jail and admonished the mob to disperse, telling the negroes that they were violating the law and there was no danger of a lyuhing. His admonition appeared to have little ef fect. Sheriff MeArthur and C. B. Watson and J. C. Buxton made speech es, advising the negroes to disperse and gojiome. Judge Brown made an earnest talk. He told the negroes Tnttle was securing a fair trial and he would be responsible for his proctection. Some of the leaders con sented to disperse if the sheriff would put twenty men on guard. Judge Brown agreed to the proposition, and ordered the sheriff to have the men placed on duty. He also notified the negroes that he would only give them ten minutes to break up, telling them the sheriff would arrest all who failed to obey orders. Failing to comply with his honor's request, sheriff M. Arthur called out the Forsyth Rifle men, who, with the sheriff's posse, were stationed on Fifth street. The mob, was on Fifth andChuren streets. It is estimated that 150 shots were fired by the militia and mob, the first coming, from the negroes, and strik ing several of the officers. Fourteen bird shot struck policemen Cof er, sher iff MeArthur, Peter Thompson, Wal ter Nading and others were also hit, but none were badly injured. The negroes who did not run away hid in houses and behind fences, when the riflemen began firing on them. The report was current all day that sever al negroes were badly wounded by the riflemen, but it could not be substan tiated. It was after 4 o'clock yesterday morning, a special to the Charlotte Observer says, when the crowd was broken up and judge Brown ordered the Riflemen to withdraw. , Mayor Gray swore in a number of extra po licemen. . How the false report became current in regard to lynching Tuttle no one appears to know. Some think that the "alarm" originated by the negroes hearing the people comming in the city from the yearly meeting at High Points. : Fourteen members of the negro mob were arrested and jailed. These are Frank Robinson, Thos. My res, George Bailey, John Grogan, Felix Lee, Walter Lee Price, Chas. Hauser, Morgan Hart, Robt. Burnett, Pleas Webster, Ernest Day, Gus Hopkins, Ed. Noala and Matthew Malone. Judge Brown and mayor Gray were interviewed last evening. The former said that he considered the trouble under control. The city secured 100 rifles in addition to those of the For syth Riflemen. Sixty extra policemen were sworn in for last night. The murder oase of Arthur Tuttle was given to the jury late yesterday afternoon. A telegram to Gen, Cameron from mayor Gray at 2 o'clock this after noon says all is quiet. The State Farmers' Alliance Met in its ninth annual session at Cary this morning, J. M. Mewborne of Lenoir county presiding and Mr. W. S. Barnes secretary. About 68 counties are represented.

CITY AFFAIRS. FINANCE COMMITTEE MADE ITS RFPORT. There is a Deficit of $15,473-Will llond He Ixwued? The following is the report which the finance committee will make at the next meeting of the board of al dermen. "We have endeavored since the date of our assuming the office of aldermen to secure a report of the financial status of this city. The difficulties which we have had to overcome it is necessary to detail here. We are only glad even at this late day to present the statements of the receipts and ex penditures of the city funds for the fiscal year ending February tbs 28th, 1895. "By examination of the treasurer's report it will be seen that the balance on band March 1st, 1895, was (12.63. with unpaid warrants outstanding amounting to $5,694.77; a net defloit of $5,682.14. The receipts for the mouths of March and April amount to (4,919 59 aud the disbursements amount to (7,778 99, leaving a net deficit when this board took charge of the city of $8,541.54. The receipts for the month of May and June were (2.987.65, the disbursements (9,930. 01, making a deficit on July 1st, 1895 of (15.473 90. It is natural to expect at this season of the year that there will be a deficit 'n the city's finances; but owing to an order passed by the old board these outstanding warrants have been largely provided for. By the assistance of conamissioner of the sinking fund it has been possible to prevent the city's warrants from being discounted or hawked about the streets. That source of relief is now exhausted and some temporary ar rangement for paying current ex penses must be made at once. "By examination of the statement of receipts and disbursements for the past year it will be noticed that the principal resources of the city are taxes, liquor licenses and market rents. The total available resources of the city amount to tomething over (66,000.00 whille the expenses amount to over (74,000.00. It does not take one long to conclude that the re sources must be increased or the ex penses eurtailed. It will be notced that the chief items of expense are salaries of officers and police, which amount to nearly (14,000, street ex penses (14,000, lights about $3,500, fire department a little over (4,000, water for the city about (5,000, mis laneous (9,000. We may remark here that we hope that these miscellaneous items will in future be properly classi fied and charged to the proper de partments. This board is called upon for large improvements in various de partments, more particularly we pre sume the streets, and our worthy street committee has already begun, vigorous work in that direction, but is very clear that in order to meet even the ordinary expenses the re sources of the city must be increased. before any permanent improvements can be made, or we shall have to ex pect each department to expend its funds more judiciously than has here tofore been the case. "The bonded debt of the city is (324,000; this is reduoed by the sink ing fund to (204,588.46, which, for a city of the size of Raleigh is unusu ally small. The nt debt per capita of this city in 1890 was (16.46. That of Asheville was $23.84; of Durham 27.20; of Winston $29.23; of Wilming ton $30.87. Comparing our debt, per oapita, with three of oar largest cities the contrast is even greater. The debt, less sinking fund, in 1890 of Philadelphia was $28.29; of New York $67.63; of Baltimore $73.22. We sincirely believe that we could do no greater deed for our posterity than to issue bonds to put the streets of this, our lovely city, in good condi tion. Nothing attracts a stranger's attention quicker, and in making this recommendation wa may add that we have great confidence in our present street committee, as to the most ad' vaatajreous handling of funds planed at its disposal."

The finanoe committee of the board of aldermen recommends ths issue of bonds for street improvements and also for sidewalk improvements. Boms persons favor the plan warmly, oth ers oppose it.
