GOV. SneluOn 3 message ueilVeFeu
Tuesday to the two houses OF
the Legislature is a lengthy document
principally occupied with a recapitula-
tion of the items contained lin the re-
ports OF the various state officers most OF
which has been given from time to time
quite fully in The DAILY LEADER and
are long & familiar to u readers.
Hence any REPETITION of them now would
be supertiuous, He makes a few sug-
gestioRs only, most Of which are 10 con
nection with a change of laws relating
to the sale and lease of school lands.
The message is very pleasant reading
for a statistical document and to these
who have not access to the reports of
the several state officers, furnishes a
very good summary of the business af-
fairs Of the state, though the real tinan-
cial condition of the state can better be
learned from the following supplemental
report of Auditor Nipple just made to
the new Legislature.
The report shows that there is not
much that can be thrown away or fool
ishly expended. Epitomized it shows
the following conditions:

ton. In September, 1857, he came
to Salisbury, and engaged as sales
man for A. @. Dennis d Co., at 9
salary of $50 per annum. He fl
led this position until the war. lie
entered the Confederate service,
Company c., Twenty-second Ten
nessee Regiment. He was appoint
ed sergeant by Gen. Bragg, which
office he retained during the con
f1ct. He participated actively il
all the engagements into which hi
command was drawn, but met will
no serious accident. After the sur
render, he returned to Memphis
and clerked for Taylor, McEwen &
Co., for short time August, 1865
he secured a place with w. w. r
Elliott, of Salisbury. January
1857, he formed partnership will
Wiley burden in the mercantile
business, which was conducted sue
cessfully until the day of his death
He was elder in the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, a prominen
member of the Masonic fraternity
and knights of Honor. August

Tons RIVER, n. j., Aug. 2i.-The for
est fires which started near this place on
Sunday are spreading and now threaten
serious loss. Tho fires were first seen
about five miles to the northwest Of this
place. They burned slowly on Sunday
and Monday, but later a strong northwest
wind sprang up, and the fire attained
dangerous proportions. The flames were
driven toward tho farms along the Man
chester pike and Threatened for hours to
reach the farm buildings and to destroy
them.
The farmers, aided by volunteers, fought
the fire all night. At times 100 men were
working. Three hundred worked through
out the night in relays. Valuable timber
was burned during the night but nothing
could be done TO save it, as the efforts OF
the fighters were entirely directed toward
saving the crops and buildings.
The wind finally shifted, and the flames
were driven toward the Lakewood road,
but not toward the village. They are still
travelling in that direction. If the wind
holds, it will carry the flames into the ex-
tensive cranberry bogs and swamps The
swamps are now dry and will burn If the
fire reaches them. The timber land Is
dry as tinder, and the fire travels fast
CAPE MAY, Aug. 21.-A forest fire COW
ering 200 acres of valuable timber is
burning between Cape May Court House
and Goshen. The residence and barn OF

BUFFALO, Aug. 21.-By the capsizing
Of the small pleasure yacht Rung Brothers
men of the 10 on board were drowned.
That there was not o greater loss of life is
due TO the noarness Of tug.
A strong wind had been blowing, and
when the open water of the lake was
reached just near the city on the trip
homeward tho small craft encountered
waves she was i'll able to Withstand. There
was no real danger however, so long as
the boat was kept head on to the waves,
but when the turn was made to enter the
harbor heavy seas struck her from the
side. Before the boat had time 60 right
herself from the blow Of one Of these an
other swept over her, completely engulflng
the boat and all on board.
Following are the names Of the missing;

Most of the life preservers on board
were loose and easily grabbed by those
who had the opportunity. The skylight
over the engine was floated Off as the boat
sank, and this was seized by some Of tho
men, Two men grabbed one life proserver
and went down.
A tug happened TO be passing near the
scene Of the accident and rescued four OF
the men from the waves Two members
Of the life saving service were also near,
and they succeeded in saving two halt

woman ran screaming into the street,
where she attracted the attention Of po-
liceman. She told the officer what had oc-
cured. and together they returned TO the
house. When Bittenheiser saw them, he
turned the revolver upon himself, firing
two shots, one Of which took effect in the
head and the other in the right side Both
the man and the woman were taken TO "a
