THE BUDGET ABOUT FINISHED
One Improvement That Ought To Be
Provided For.


Provided For.
The city council viii probably finish its
work upon the budget this week.
The assessments upon the newly an
neXed section are turning out somewhat
larger than was expected, and the returns
for taxation will probably be somewhere
between 81, 600,00O and Sl,sO0,000. A
slight increase in the real estate within
the Old limits is expec ted, but a large de-
crease in the returns Of personal property
is expected on account of the general re-
duction in the value of stocks and bonds
and securities Of all kinds, as compared
with year ago.
The attention of the MORNING NEWS
has been called to a much needed i'm
proyemeut for which the council has per-
haps not made any provision in next
years budget. II is the REMEMBERING Of
the streets which has now become a cry
ing necessity almost. The aoomi-
nations Of the alphabet system
with such lucid enumeraJions as Z 3
and 2 ~ have been often alluded
to, but the heretofore better nun bered
sections OF the city now call for attention
In many portions whole blocks are practi-
cauy without numbers, the little
tin tags which were supplied years
aPo having rusted away or fallen Off, and
those which remain, being in many cases
| ilIegiiole
Some system of designating the streets,
too, should be provided. The sign boards
bearing the street names, which were
placed upon the walls and fences at the
street corners years ago. are nearly
all gone, and there are blocks by the score
without a single sign at the corners to
indicate the street names
The small iron plate sunk in the pave
meut with the street names
crossing at right angles in
| the same direction as the pavement, ap-
/ pears TO be the most satisfactory
/ device for this purpose. The owners OF
| corner houses naturally object to having
| them dishgured with sign boards. The
! square iron plate appears to fill the bill
aud is ! SIS likely TO be removed than the
wooden sign nailed to fence or wall.

The maintenance of thehospital would
require quite little outlay here annu-

AN EXCELLENT LOCATION.
1t has been suggested that the lot
owned by the government at Abercorn
and York streets, upon which the founda-
lions for postofice building were laid
several years ago, would be
a suitable location for the hospital. The
lot cost the government twice what it
will now bring in the market and in ad-
dition a good many thousand dollars were
spent upon the foundation, all of which
will prove a dead loss to the gov
eminent unless it manages to
make some use of the lot. The hospital
appears to be about the only use to which
the government could put the lot. The
building would be quite an ornament to
that portion of the city, and would be no
more Objectionable than the Savannah
hospital and the ST. Joseph's In
Urinary. both of which are located
in thickly settled and popular neighbor-
hoods, without any apparent disadvan-
tage to the surrounding property owners

doubt but that Congressman Lester will
be able to secure an appropriation from
congress for the purpose,

TO DISSOLVE THE INJUNCTION.
Mr.. Jacob Rauers Wants to Prevent
Capt. Balmer From Removing Bis
Ship.

Mr.. Jacob Rauers Wants to Prevent
Capt. Balmer From Removing His
Ship.
In the suit for injunction which was
brought by Matthew Balmer, master OF
the British schooner Beatrice Mclean,
against Jacob Rauers, owner of st. Cath
crimes Island, demurrer and motion to
dissolve the Injunction has been filed by
Messrs. Charlton, Mackal 81 Anderson,
attorneys for the defendant
IL will be remembered that the schooner
was blown ashore on the island during
. the August storm, and that Mr. Rauers
refused TO allow the captain to remove it
unless $500 was paid him. The captain
applied for an injunction to restrain
Rauers from preventing him from remov-
ing the ship, and temporary injunction
was granted upon the plaintiff giving
bond for 81, 900 to repair all damages to
the land. Capt. Balmer has not vet
succeeded in removing the vessel from
the island.
Mr.. Rauers now wants the captain to
give bonds in the sum of s., 500 liquidated
damages ,ito put the land back in the same
condition in which he found it, or he re-
fuses to allow him to remove the ship.
While this proposition had been made, he
has applied for a dissolution of the
present injunction on several grounds.
and argument on the motion was
begun before Judge Falligant, in
the superior court Saturday. 1t will be
continued this morning, Mr. T. S. Nor
gan appearing for the plaintiff and Mr..
Walter g. Charlton for the defendant.
Mr. Rauers don't want his land dug up,
and the captain thinks he can get his yes
sci out without hurting the land, which
is nothing but a marsh and which is par
tally overtowed by the salt water at
high tide.

Thus it seems that in ten years 3O5
railway companies with 67,406 miles of
line or nearly 40 per cent. of the entire
railway mileage at the commencement of
this year, and represen ting the prodig
ious aggregate of 50, 1872 ,000.0 of bonds
and stock have become insolvent and gone
into the possession of the courts. In d
few cases, notably that of the Philadel-
phia and Reading, insolvency has occurred
twice within the ten years, so that The
table contains some Implications, though
this forms small fraction of the totals.
In the last two years only-lS9? and 1898
tho number of new receiverships was
107, representing over $4,000 miles of
road and over 81, 645, 00J, 900 of capital
The entire railway mileage of the
United States at the end OF 1892 was u.s.
200 miles and the bonds and stocks ag-
gregate1 about $40 500, 0010 600
The sequence of recelverships is fore
closure sales, and in this direction the
record of 1893 is encouraging. In mileage
and amount of investment the forecloS-
ures of last year are less than for several
years previous, showing that the
harvest from the crop of receiverships
sowed in the bad times of
1857 has been nearly gathered. Twenty
three roads were sold to the highest bid
der in 1888, but they are all relatively
small, their mileage aggregating only
lao miles and their capital stock and
bonds only S47 ,264 900 Contrasted with
the records of new defaults these figures
are relief, and yet the loss which must
have resulted from the scaling down or
wiping out of securities aggregating
SAT ,000,0 900 is actually no light matter.

Teaching Children Politeness.

Children are too often left totally un-
instructed in those small courtesies of
everyday life which go SO far to make
our domestic and social relations har-
monious. They should be taught, al
most from infancy, to be polite, to enter
and leave room properly, to respect
their elders, to remove their hats when
they enter a house, to seat themselves
quietly instead of throwing themselves
boisterously upon chairs or lounges, to
close doors gently and to do many other
things naturally and politely which they
now do awkwardly and rudely, simply
because they have never been instructed
otherwise.
A little time devoted each day to this
gloriously good work will surely bring
an ample return in the end-win, In fact,
bear good fruit from the very beginning,
since child who is being taught to be
polite is at the same time learning con-
sideration for others and so is cultivat-
ing unselfishncss of character. In the
same way a child who is encouraged to
be orderly, to do little offices for itself,
such as folding up its clothes or putting
hat or toy in its proper place, is not
only mastering one of the most valuable
of lessons, but is also saving the mother
many weary steps in the present and
heartaches in after years.-Housekeeper.

A Week ofTerror,

Two fearful railroad accidents-one
ON Long Island, the other in Massachu-
setts-a labor riot in Chicago and two
of the most frightful cyclones ever
known along the Atlantic coast will long
keep in memory the close Of the summer
of 1898. Perhaps the sun spots had some
thing to do with causing the storms :
who knows? We only know that mans
science counts for nothing when nature
unchains her tremendous forces even for
"a few moments. The sage is as ignorant
and helpless as the savage.
The atmosphere of the week of disaster
hung dense and murky along the At
llantic coast states for days before each
of the great storms, as if heavy with
coming doom. When the West India
Icyclones came, they struck the south.
eastern states with appalling fury, es-
pecially the second one. Charleston and
the South Carolina coast goti it the worst,
Charleston has indeed been stricken. A
destructive storm in 1885, the earth
quake in 1886, and now a cyclone, which
has annihilated millions of dollars worth
of property, have one after another
wrecked her. Sixty per cent of the rice
crop for 1893 is gone and a third Of the
rich sea island cotton crop. How many
were drowned, most of them hapless
negro laborers and their families, vii
probably never be definitely ascertained
as they were scattered through the is
lands along the coast But the number
will not fall far if any short of 700.

against him in the Bennington County
court. Sargent accompanied the
officer willingly, and recognized the
interior of the Jail from which he has
twice before escaped. He is a stout
built, wiry looking man weighing
about IT'S pounds. He does not ap-
pear to worry in the least about the
fnture, and says that he will not be
convicted on his trial, which will come
in December, as the prosecution can
not bring evidence enough against
him. Precautions will be taken that
he does not make his third escape

A Brilliant New Novel,

''Every Saturday." the popular
Boston weekly, is making rapid
strides in a new direction of late.
We refer to the excellent quality of
the fiction contained in its pages.
Its most recent achievement in this
line is the purchase from Count Ro-
man l. Zubof Robert Appleton au-
thor of "Mrs. Harry ST. john" of
a new novel called "Violet, the Amer
ican Sappho," realistic story of high
life in Boston society. From advance
sheets we are enabled to say that the
story is the most brilliant of all Mr..
Appleton's writings. 1t fearlessly
and ably tears the mask of hypocricy
from those who arrogate to them
selves high positions amongst the
ssFour Hundred" of the Club. "
The heroine of the story is described
and characterized with great fidelity
to nature, and the situations in which
she finds herself are wrought out
with an intensity of language, and a
power of description that seem to be
the sole property of this brilliant nov
eist. The story will run for a num-
ber of weeks, beginning September
8, and we predict for it a great
amount of public attention. 1t is
fully illustrated by one of the best
artists in Boston, and taken altogeth-
er it is something that the man OF
woman of today cannot afford to miss.

Old time, you wretch, how dare do sol
So much your Arab practice show,
AS on your headlong course you go
From day To day;
So many gifts on us bestow
Then take them all away.
Each blooming youth, with rosy cheek,
Whose star-lt eyes for pleasure seek,
And every grace that health bespeak
Soon fade away
The form is bent, the voice grows weak
Alas, decay.
My lady, once so young and fair,
My pride, my comfort, and my care,
Whose wealth of silken chestnut hair
Was my delights;
Now other threads are gathering there
A snowy white.

And pearly teeth all even, white,

If unseen had been,
Now those eyes with decreasing light
Are growing dim.
How changed those cheeks their roseate
hue;
Those once full lips now thin and blue,
Those pearly teeth decayed and few
Now stand apart;
Which is the voice to me, and you,
"Of dust thou art;"
The form once straight as the line ap-
pears
Without the weight of care or fears,
Except of childhood's joys and tears
So quick and flceting;
Now timer, paler, bent by years.
Your voyage completing.
Each flower must fade that bloomed in
spring,
Time sets its mark on everything;
For such change how deep the sting
Old age, with silvery hair,
If to the heart no change it bring
What need we care.
But lady, dear, do not repine;
We both must bow to the monarch time
Who gave us youth, and health, and

Now takes it away.

The Treasury Deficit.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Secretary
Carlisle has practically decided that
the deficit in the treasury should be
issuing silver certificates against the
seigniorage on the bullion purchased
under the Sherman law. He has
talked with Speaker Crisp and Mr..
Springer, chairman of the banking
and currency committee, on the sub
ject, and recommended some changes
in the bill which Mr.. Springer has
already introduced, authorizing the
coinage of this siegniorage.
The secretary estimates a deficit
for the year-that is, difference be-
tween receipts and expenditures,
without regard to the balance on
hand-of $50, ,000,000 The coinage
of the seigniorage and the issue of
certificates against it would provide
S5l ,952,0 900 on the silver purchased
up to September /
