The latest story of the Victoria catas .

indicate that Admiral Tryon was as bull
headed as he was brave Staff Com
mander Smith, of the Victoria who
escaped says the admiral saw before the
fatal movement was more than fairly be-
gun that it could not be safely accom-
plished, but, to protest, he replied.

of the feet, and may have preferred
what really happened to the humiliation
of confessing to his interiors an error of
judgement through the countermanding
of his order. There were slight chances
that the ships would swing clear; he
took those chances, and lost.

the opening of the mints TO silver is all
that is necessary to make silver circulate
on parity with gold. They know that
free coinage did not prevent the silver
coin of India from becoming depreciated
and they know no reasen why it should
prevent our silver dollars from becoming
deprecated. The very trouble that
congress is called on to meet is caused
by the loss of confidence in the ability
of the government to redeem in gold the
immense volume of silver notes that have
been issued in payment for silver. If
there is doubt caused by the silver notes,
would there be any less doubt if silver
dollars, whose bullion value is only little
more than half their face value, were

What the people want is sound money.
They are not particularly concerned about
the methods congress adopts to provide
it. They know that debased currency
means financial disaster and almost in
calculable loss to them.

An oddly in crime is noted in a San

was the weapon with which the foreman
of the great iron works that has recently
turned out several ships for the new

with the pointed wooden holder driven
into her body, aud with the flowers still

the last eight years of his life The doe
tors bill was for attendance for 2.221

died in August 1856 and the doctor asked
that, besides the principal, he be allowed
interest from that date. The total of his

value Of his services upon a verbal agree

devote his whole time 10 looking after mis-

the doctor has concluded that $4,000

that amount from the executors and quit

This additional demonstration of the
success Of the phonograph as a public

make novel canvass by leasing a
number of monographs, talking them

other on the stump. With a little

phonograph as an aid and representative,
each candidate could cover so much terri

Buy Goods at Home,

The Athens Banner strikes the nail
squarely on the head when it objects to
people preaching the support of home en-
terprise and practicing the opposite by
buying whatever they may need away
from home. Every town may be judged
by its merchants. AS a rule they are
among the most philosophical citizens.
There is not an enterprise that is for the
good of the community that the mer-
chants do not take hold of. They are
large employers of help. Their profits
are, almost wholly, distributed in the
town from which they are drawn. They
aid charities, promote progress and vote
for good government. Yet in this very
city there are people who send thousands
of dollars away every year for goods that
might, as cheaply and to better advant-
age, be purchased at home The doctors
wife, whose husband has received fat
check for services to the merchants fam
lily, sends to another city for her silks or
cambrics, when the merchant who drew
the check has in his store just such silks
and cambrics for as reasonable prices as
the out-of-town house from which they
were ordered. The lawyer who has mule
ted the merchant his client, for a round
sum as a retainer in a petty case, takes
the check he has received in payment and
sends to New York or Philadelphia for a
suit of clothes, When the merchants tail
ors could provide him with an equally ell
egant suit for the same price. And so on
it goes.
These purchasers away from home are
probably thoughtless. They apparently
fail to consider that sharp competition
and close buying, at wholesale, by expert
enced men, have placed it within the
power of Savannah merchants to supply
home purchasers with anything that
may be needed, at prices as low or
lower than can be obtained by the retail
buyer at northern store with freight or
express charges added. In numerous in
stances the sole profit the merchant
makes is the discount he is allowed for
spot cash payment and for buying in
large lots. On such goods the small mar
gin that might be put into the pockets of
the home man, goes into the pocket of the
New Yorker or the Philadelphia, with
not one iota of benefit accruing to the
purchaser.
it makes no difference whether the
value of goods one contemplates sending
away for amounts to 81, or 81 900. the
fact that the order is sent away, without
giving the home merchant a chance at it,
is an injustice to him; that is, if he has
what is wanted and is willing to accept

NEW WATER WORKS.
The Borough of Mahanoy City WIN Have
Its own Plant.

The Borough of Mahanoy City WIN Have
Its own Plant.
Our sister borough of Mahanoy City will
control their own water works, the decision
OF the court yesterday giving them that
right. The Mahanoy City water company
procured preliminary injunction against
that borough, restraining the defendants from
constructing its own water works and the
court has set it aside.
The decision of the court in the case was
handed down by Judge Weidman, which
says the borough has perfect right to own
its own works and to expend, in accordance
with the special election, 100000 for the
completion of the system, but the COMPLAIN
ants believe that the cost will exceed Sl5OOOO
They further state that the proposed increase
Of debt is violation of the state constitution.
and Will subject the respondents to criminal
prosecution.
The act of 1861 authorizes the Borough
Council of Mahanoy City to elect three per.
sons, majority of whom shall be members of
the town council, water commissioners. and in
conjunction of said council, empower them to
issue coupon bonds to the amount of $4,000,
with the privilege of extending the same To
100000, bearing interest at per cent. The
proceeds of said bonds are to be applicable to
the construction of water works and for the
introduction of fresh water into said borough
from Cold Run or any other point, and to
enter upon grounds whenever necessary.
The complainants claim that this act was
superseded by article nine of the constitution
of 1873 which limits the debts of boroughs
from that date to per cent. of the taxable
property. They claim further that this act
being inconsistent with the clause of the
constitution was not within the saving pro-
vision of the schedule
Judge Weidman cites several decisions BY
the Supreme Court on this question, showing
that the cOmplainant's theory is not sus-
tanned by any clause of repeal in the act of
1874, or its supplements directed expressly to
the act of 1864.
