The general tax bill now pending be.

adjournment of Congress cantains the
provision taxing the tax eff matches.
and unless the bill passes as it came
from the House the tax will be retained
The bill passed the House by very
large m ajority but when it went to the
Senate numerous amendments were Of
tered, some of which were adopted by
the Senate and must be concurred In
by the House before they can become a
law. Tue house however having fin

its members have gon9 home that less

not transact business. .......r. 1
Senator MOrrell from Vermont wanted
the tax bill as it came from the House
to pass, and then there would be no
more need of reference to the House
again, but this the Democratic Sena.
tors genrally are opposed to, Mr.. Bay
ard Is part cular, because he wants to
retain the tax on maches, which takes
money out of the pockets of every poor
man and woman in the United States
and makes for Wilmington monopoly
q profit of over 100000 alene on the
purchase Of stamps.
If the Republicans in the Senate sue.
ceed In forcing a vote to-day on the
House tax bill 1t will pass and the tax
monopoly will cease and then Con.
gress will adjourn and the match ia K
monopoly will remain and the people
who pay two cents tax on a three cent
box of matches, making five cents will
have Mr.. Bayard to thank for keeping
in existence this grinding monopoly.
To give some idea of the immense
profits accruing from the purchase of
stamps alone 1t is only necessary to
state that the Diamond State Match
Company of this city purchased in Cne
year 50, ,276.000 worth of stamps upon
which they were allowed discount of
ten per cent. turning at once 1921, 800
into the pockets of the monopolists.
To make up this amount of money
every man, woman and child who buys
a cents worth OF matches pays ad addi-
tional cent in tax to the Government,
and this tax Mr.. Bayard favors.

The Shields.

The Shields Library excursion, on
the steamer Clyde, yesterday, to Cape
May, was one Of the most enjoyable Of
the season aud was attended by about
900 people who enjoyed themselves 10
their hearts content. Nothing what
ever occurred to mar the pleasures OF
the occasion. A storm of rain, thunder
and liz htning of about one hours dura
lou gave variety to the trip. Some Of
the excursionists enjoyed the storm
while some would Lave felt more at
ease If no storm had occurred.
Music and dancing was the principal
enjoyment of the young people, but
some of the elders were no ways back
ward in tripping round on the
light fantastic toe. Amongst the latter
was Councilman Quinn, always polite
but on this occasion he would have
done honor to French dancing mas.

Charles Aston F1neG Last NtRnG--
Tho Street Car Company 20. be
Proceeded Against Next sunday,
Last evening Mr.. Charles Aston, who
keeps a confectionery and eating sal.
loon at No. 726 Market street was before
the Mayor charged with q violation Of
the Sunday law. The charge was pre-.
fered by Mr. Edward H. Spencer who
resides at No. .625 West Seventh street.
and is a prominent member of Asbury
NJ. E. Church. After the Mayor had
stated the charge to Mr.. Aston, he ad-
mitted that he had sod eatables and
ice cream, and said that if that was a
violation of the law Re was guilty. The
Mayor said, that in his opinion it was,
and imposed fine of So and costs as
prescribed by law, which was promptly
paid. Mr.. Aston is very indignant
about the matter, and says that on
Sunday evening Jhe greater part of his
customers for ice cream and soda water
are church members, who come direct
to his place from the church. He SAID
this morning that he intended to test
the law to the utmost, and for that pur.
pose will enter suit against the street
car companies if they run their cars
next Sunday. He also specified several
eating saloons that he intends to pro-
ceed against, so as to have the matter
carried to Court where the law can be
fully tested,
WThe Mayor said this morning that he
would ike to see a case carried to the
Superior Court so that an opinion
could be obtained on the matter. His
understanding Of the law now is that
it torbids all business or labor on the
Sabbath, except works of charity or
necessity, and that person is liable
to be fined for publishing or selling
a newspaper on Sunday or hiring
horse, or in fact doing anything that
can be avoided, and he said that until
there was a decision to the contrary
he would issue warrants for all often
ders that information was lodged
against, and if they found guilty would
impose the fine. The Mayor said that
while he would enforce the law, his
officers should not act as spies or detec.
tives to ferret out offenders and if per-
SONS wanted them prosecuted they
must lodge the information and appear
against the parties themselves. 1t is
understood Lhat Mr.. Spencer intends to
bring suits against other parties.

RICHMOND Va, August 7th, 1882
Social circles at Traphill, in Wilkes
county, n. have been excited du-
ing the pas week by the most astound- :
ing revelath ns. For FIVE or more years
past Profess C. W. White has been
Conducting u remarkably fourishinR
high schoc f9I boys and girls, drawing
pupils from q number OF Counties and
having on iis rolls more than one hun
dred studeE.s. For two or more years
the Profess has paid marked attention
to one OF hi female pupils, q young
lady of the 4sighborhood, Miss Mamie
Holbrooks
1t was al open secret that they were
engaged 10 ue married. The union was
to have taken place year ago, but was
postponed hy White, who had betrayed
the girl. The family TO cover the shame
as far as possible insisted on her im'
mediate marriage to White, but at the
appointed time--one day last week-he
was found in his room In stupor from
the effects OF a vial of laudanum which
he had taken. Recovering from its et-
fects, he appointed last Tuesday even
ing at six o'clock for the ceremony.
On Monday night he instigated his
brother, William White, TO steal q
horse from William Cheatwood, and
mounting the animal at one o'clock
Tuesday morning he rode to Statesville
and took tie eastern train.
Captain Abe Bryan, an uncle OF the
deceived girl, arrived at Statesville on
"wednesday and Immediately telegraph.
ed in all directions. In response to one
of his messages he received telegram
Yesterday from the police at High Point
Informing him that White was in GUS
tody at that place. Accompanied by
Mr.. W. NJ. Walker, Captain Bryan left
for Highpoint. William White, the
professor brother, was arrested for the
Uheft of the horse, which has been re-
covered, and confessed to every thing.
Professor White is q graduate of Trim
ity College, young man of talent, who
stood high in the Church anu the COM
munity,here. He is from High Point
originally. The fall term of his school,
which was an exceedingly prosperous
one, was to have commenced to-day.
Several young men on their way to
Traphill to enter it, at the beginning of
the session, on reaching Statesville
turned back on hearing the news Of
Whites s:rocions conduct and flight.
Miss HOlbrooks is OF highly re-
pectable family and a general puoiic
sympathy for her is felt here, mingled
with indignation at Whites treachery.
He will be taken back to Traphill to
answer for his offence.

TME VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
Senator R1ddloberger opens Iho
Campaign ana Endorses Presi.
dent Arthur.

Mr.. Riddleberger United States Sena
tor elect, opened the Virginia canvass
for the Readjusters, or liberals, Mon
day at Woodstock. He made q re-
markably frank speech, which reports
here say was enthusiastically received
by large assemblage of the citizens
He dwelt at length upon the redemp-
tion by the liberal party of all theil
platform pledges to the people; upon
the firm establishment of the public
schools, now numbering twice as many
rs were maintained under Bourbon
sway upon the remedial legislation
pertaining to the charitable institu,
tiOns of the State upon the efforts oil
the liberals in the Legislature to re.
strict the power and check the abuses
of monopolies.
The speaker graphically sketched the
healtbfnl tolerance in Virginia politics
that had followed the liberal victory OF
last autumn. Leaving State issues, he
turned to national questions, and here
what he is reported to havs said Is re.
markable and worthy of note. He dis
cussed the tariff question fully and de-
clared his party be fully and une-
quivocally committed to the American
theory and policy of protection.
AS TO general national politics Senate
Riddleberger was earnest and pronoun.
ced in his proclamations Of the sincerity
the cordiality and high purpose of the
alliance between the Arthur admins.
tration and the Virginia liberals. eve
are for Arthur because Arthur is for
US, he said at the close of an eloquent
passage in which he sketched the
eternal divorce of the Virginia liberals
from the American and sectional
affiliations they had once maintained.
The speech is notable because it OK.
presses sentiments which are likely to
be heard from liberals in many South
ern States this fall. 1t is not forgotten
among Southern men that President
Arthur is the first President since the
war who In his annual message said
not q word about "the Southern ques.
tion," but dealt with all public sub.
jscts from comprehensive national
standpoint without sectional contrasts.

Last evening man and woman who
gave their names as Michael and Elmira
Wilkinson, and stated that they were
man and vile, were charged by Officer
Osborne with disorderly conduct over
Market street bridge. The officer testi-
fed that two little girls came and told
him that man and woman were acting
in q disorderly manner on the other side
of the creek, and he started over to look
after them. On the way he met col.
oced woman, who said that the same
party had cursed and abused hsr. The
officer found them under tree, the man
being sound asleep, and not being sat.
is6ed with the account they gave OF
themselves brought them to the hall.
Michael stated TO the Mayor that he
war printer by trade, and that he
with his wife had come here yesterday
in search Of work. He had made appli-
cation at the office of the Morning News
and also the Every Evening, and was
told at the first named place to come
back when the foreman was in. Not
being acquainted with any one in the
city, he took his wife to The Friendly
Inn, where they had their dinner. They
then walked over Market street bridge
and set down under tree and he went
to sleep. The Mayor told him that If he
could not obtain work they had better
leave the city and dismissed the case.
Owing to its being so late the BRIDE
groom requested that they be allowed
to remain all night, which was granted
and they occupied the cell for females
on the second floor as their bridal
chamber last night. The man says that
he learned his trade in Coatesvllle, Pa,
and that they have only been married
one week. The woman is quite young,
and they do not have the appearance of
regular trampS. They were allowed to
depart at any early hour this morning,
and it is to be hoped that better fortune
will await them in the future
