There are many indications that when the
belated equinoctial storm does arrive it will
fully compensate for its long delay. The
continuance of parching weather so late
into the autumn is something almost unpre-
cedented. The heat and drought of an I'M
usually hot and dusty summer have been
protracted far beyond the usual limit. The
consequences so far exhibited have been
disastrous to the crops, large forest fires
have consumed miles of timber and de-
stroyed hundreds of lives. There have been
local rains, but there has been no general
precipitation of the vast volume of vapor
accumulated IN the sky during a long
period of rapid evaporation. In Sep
TENDER alone 1t is estimated that the
amount of water evaporated from
the tropical Atlantic and Gulf OF
Mexico, much of which is destined to be
borne by trade winds over the United
States, cannot be less than ten inches Of the
sea surface, an amount which, If precipi-
tated within a short time, would produce
torrential rains over the larger part Of the
country east of the Rocky Mountains. 1t
cannot be said that this water will not fall
elsewhere. 1t is known that India, Algeria
and other wide tracts of the worlds surface
have suffered from want Of rain. But 1t
may be suspected that the sultry and OPP
pressive atmosphere everything the United
States at present contains still a great part
of the burden of vapor gathered during the
last hot term. The putting off of the day
of meteorological equilibrium usually makes
the storms which marks its re-esta blishment
the more violent.

The Commercial Bank OfSavannah.

Ine COmmeFciAI n hnA VI Sn ahhaAs
The charter of this bank is now in force
for the term of fifty years, with very large
and desirable powers, and containing this
clause as to the liability of stockholders:
"SECTIoN IA. That the said bank shall be
responsible to its creditors to the extent Of
its property, and the stockholders shall be
liable to the extent of the full amount of
their respective unpaid stock subscribed for
by them, for the debts of the bank, in pro-
portion to the number of shares held by
them"
A stakeholder, therefore, in this bank,
when he shall have paid up his subscribed
stock, will be at no personal liability what
soeveT.
All the other charters of banks gra nted at
the late session of the Legislature, we
learn, contain personal liability clauses as
against stockholders, and q charter so IA
yoTable as this of the Commercial Bank is
not likely to be granted by future Legisla-
lures.
This bank is intended to supply COM
mercial necessity in Savannah. 1t is to &C
commodate the wants of the merchants of
Savannah and the people generally, and to
be in every respect local bank. That there
is not enough banking capital in Savannah
is admitted, and what is here is devoted al
most exclusively to cotton and its interests.
Merchants in other lines have felt this, and
to such an extent that some are forced to go
direct to New York for banking facilities.
The shares fixed by the charter will be
$50 each; the minimum capital 5000, 900,
with liberty to increase same to 81, 900 600.
With the attractions to stockholders
offered by such a charter, 1t is expected
that the bank will stSrt shortly with large
capital, well distributed among our mer-
chants and people.
We understand the books of subscription
will be opened very soon, and the new bank
will be established with all the augurIes Of
success.

THE MICHIGAN SUFFERERS,
savannah's Relief Fund.

We would remind cur people that the
subscription list for the benefit OF the suf-
ferers by the recent terrible fires in Michi-
gan is still open at the Clerk of Councils
Office. The amount that has thus far been
subscribed Is small, when it is considered
that the distress OF these unfortunate people
has only been half told in the terrible
accounts published. They are in
urgent need, and our citizens should re
member them literally. We should not
forget that when sffi 'ctiOn's hand was laid
upon our city in 1876, generous cOntri5u-
lions for our relief flowed in from every
direction. and no section responded more
promptly and literally than the West.
Mayor Wheaton has forwarded to the
Mayor Of Detroit g check for $500, but this
amount should be doubled, If not trebled.
The list will be found in the Office of the
Clerk Of Council, where our citizens can
make such subscription as their means will

Sunday ROWdIes.

Editor Morning Meas: Every Sunday after
noon a large crowd Of colored boys assem-
BILE on the railing of Troup square, and
amuse themselves by cursing, blackguard
ing, wrestling, and disturbing the worship
of God in the church which fronts on that
square. On last Sunday afternoon at four
O'Clock game of base ball was called, which
was played until six O'Clock, when the pres
ence Of a mounted policeman dispersed the
players.
Let the parents of these boys understand
that the residents of the neighborhood are
tired of this regular exhibition of Sunday
rowdyism, and want it stopped. 1t is la
mentable condition of affairs, If they have
lost control of their boys; but there is a
remedy for this parental weakness. Let the
police arrest these boys and give the parents
an opportunity OF paying into the city treas
ury tuition fee Tin the shape of a fine) in
consideration of having their boys taught a
lesson In COMMON DECENCY.

The foregoing table shows that the fail
ures during the last three months have been
1924, with liabilities of $40, 112, 365, while
for the corresponding period in 1880 they
were 979, with liabilities of $l2, 121, 422.
The geographical distribution of the fail
ures in the last three months shows that the
Southern States have suffered, inasmuch as
the figures indicate that the liabilities of
1880 were only $S48, 772 as against 81, 054, 107
for the present quarter; while for the West
ern States the liabilities show a decline of
nearly $3.50, 600 in favor of this quarter. In
the Middle States the liabilities are about
81, OO0, 900 less in amount than in the CORE
spending quarter of 1880. In the Eastern
and Pacific States the combined amounts of
liabilities are but little different from those
of last year.
Notwithstanding decrease in amount of
liabilities for the past three months as COM
pared with 1880, the total liabilities for the
last nine months show an excess of six mil
lions over the figures Of 1880. This increase
occurred In the first quarter of the present
year, when the liabilities showed an excess
OF twelve millions over those of 1880. This
excess has been reduced by the smaller
amounts OF the last two quarters.
In Canada an exceptionally good condi-
tion OF affairs has prevailed; the failures for
the last three months having been one
hundred and thirty with liabilities of $751;
$50 This is better showing than has been
made In the Dominion for any quarter dur
ing the past six years.

Disturbance at a CoIOred BAN.

A colored ball was given at Empire Hall
last night which, as usual, attracted large
crowd Of the eolored population. About
eleven O'Clock Martha Jones and May
Brown, two OF the bellies OF the ball, as it
were, got into talking match, and created
80 much disturbance that IL was deemed adj
visable to hustle them away from the scene
Of merriment. They were accordingly
waItzed to the barracks by Policeman FaTr.
About ten minutes to twelve Francis Ste

speak, who had been printing up on whisky,
found It necessary TO let of some steam in

Yom Kippur. Day Of A,onement.

Yesterday the greatest and hottest day Of
the Jewish calendar was universally observed
by our Hebrew citizens. l. is called the
Sabbath Of sabbsths, and as such devoted
entirely to rest and prayer. 1t is a messen-
Ger Of love from the merciful Judge of the
Universe to the sinful man. Its general OBJ
servation consists in prayers OF repentance
and in abstaining from all material enJoy,
ments, even such as food ana Drink. All
observinC Israeutes throughout the earth,
Srresnectfye of their several modes OF wor-
shin, observe that day, Withdrawing entirely
from earthly wants or WOnted occupation

Something About Sick Babies,

Teething infants and small children are
greatly distressed by warm weather, and the
usual effects of their distress are Collie,
Cholera Infantum, or Dysentery. Such
disorders are particularly dangerous to these
helpless innocents, who are unable to stand
any great amount Of physical suffering.
Therefore II is the duty Of parents to treat
their little ones with great care, alleviating
their misery not by nauseous doses, but by
judiciously administered doses of Perry
Davis Pain Killer, which is a safe, sure and
quick remedy for summer complaints OF the
bowels

An Interesting Case-Seamen,s Claim
for Wages

for Wages.
A maritime case which Involves some very
interesting and delicate points Of law is
now under adjudication in this city, and
hearing will be had before United States
Commissioner Montmollin this morning.
The case is a suit for wages by the seamen
of the bark Albert, Captain Maslander,
which was towed into this port on Septem.
Der %, in distress. Itappears that the com
planning seamen were not regularly articled;
that is, the articles of agreement were not
signed in the presence of a shipping COM
missioner, as required by law. The vessel
had put into Port Royal leaking, and a
board of survey had recommended that she
be repaired, and she was consequently
brought TO this port, where the work could
De more reasonably done. The term OF ser
vice had not expired, and the men, being
IDLE, desired 10 obtain their wages and
secure their discharge. The csse was
brought up before Z. S. Commissioner WI
son on saturday AFTERNOON on an applica,
ton to nave libel certified
against the vessel. The owner of the
bark. Mr.. Adams, OF New Jersey, was
represented by Mr.. J. j. Abrams, and the
seamen by Mr.. A. Pratt Adams. After a
hearing, the Commissioner decided In favor
Of the owner, thus barring the seanen from
obtaining their wages, which decision, 1t is
stated, is not in accordance with the stat
utes. The counsel for the seamen thereupon
determined TO bring the matter before uni
ted s. ates Commissioner L. Fl. Montmollin,
and hearing is set for this morning, as
hereinbefOre mentioned. The seamen who
are compliments in this case were shipped
/ by the owner of the vessel, and not in the
presence Of a Shipping Commissioner, as
required by law, for Port ROYAL,
Darien, Doboy, Aspinwall and q
Texas port, but, as stated, she was
compelled to seek Port Royal harbor for
relief. The owner stated that the damage
to the vessel was Oceasioned by the storm.
while the seamen assert that they diseov-
cred she was unseawOrthy shortly after
leaving Barren Island. near New York, and
that their demand for wages is just. There
are some features in the case which may
lead to interesting developments.

TaImape,s rice CIreu.ar.

This enterprising firm have just issued
their regular circular On this important
grain, dated October l. 1881, containing a
review of the rice market for 1SS0-S1, and
some remarks on the probable outturn of
the crop of 1SSl-S2. OF this last, the re-
port says the wet season Of last win er was
followed by drought, which was not con-
fined to this coast, but was general over
the entire country. Many plantations on
the shorter rivers have never been able to
obtain sufficient water for the harvest flow.
To add to the discouraging prospect, the
coast was visited by hurricane unegualled
in violence since the memorable gale of
1854. The following is the estimate of the
yield of the crop of 1881 in the Carolinas
and Georgia:
