The story of the trip of the third expe-
dition to Manila is not a pleasant one.
On the voyage six men and one officer
died and SO more were taken sick. Ty-
phoid and meningitis played haxoc on
the transports. Two firemen went in
sane and leaped overheard. But fire
on one OF the ships was the worst peril
of all
The fleet of transports and their con-
voy, the monitor Monterey, were three
days out from Hawaii when FIRE was dis.
covered aboard The Morgan City. One of
the crew reported that there was a blaze
in the coal bunkers. At midnight when
all the troops were asleep, Capt Dillon
assembled the crew and told them the
news. Every man was pledged to secrecy.
Silently the men coupled on the hose and
steampipes. Then they began battling
with the flames in the hold. Night and
day the heroic crew fought, but the fire
in the bunkers was still burning when the
Morgan City arrived at Manila. Then
for the first time the troops learned of
their danger. The flames were extin.
guished after the ship had been in port
a few hours. On board the Morgan City
were 600 men of the Idaho volunteers
and detachment of Nebraska volunteers.

The negotiations for peace between
Spain and the United States have pro-
crossed very slowly during the week and
have only resulted in a preliminary agree

more definite negotiations. The terms OF
this preliminary agreement are the same
as those laid down in last week g HERALD.
The first shedding of American blood
on Philippine soil took place Sunday
Sunday night. July 81, when IL soldiers
were killed and A wounded during a
skirmish at the Malste trenches, between
Cavlte and Manila.
No attack had been made on the Span
ish line, but the Americans were occupy
ing the trenches formerly held by the in
surRents. General Merritt reported
officially as follows:

deaths. The landing at the camp was
delayed on account of the high surf.

continue the line from Canine Real to
the beach Sunday night. The Spanish
attacked sharply. The artillery outposts
behaved we'll and held their position. 1t
was necessary to call out the entire bri-
gsde. The Spanish loss is rumored to be
heavy.
The particulars of the fight are given
as follows by a correspondent.
"Gen. GreeDe's force of 1000 men had
been advancing toward Manila and en-.

They determined to give battle before
Camp Dewey could be reinforced. The

c SAM'S ,COIN
An Assyrian ShOpkeeper Charged With
Mutiliating 1t.

Joseph Simon, an Assyrian shop
keeper, has been arrested charged
with m%utilating United States coin. If
the allegation is sustained it means a
heavy fine and, perhaps, imprison-
ment. Uncle Sam is very we're upon
transgressors of his laws, especially
this one, the violation Of which makes
an already scarce article scarcer.
Simons keeps a store on Front street,
between Dock and Orange, and it is
said he possessed himself of a Ratchet
with which he deliberately broke a
silver ten cent piece into smithereens.
The ten cents in it's entirety and after
it became flinders belonged to Rich
ard Davis, colored, who obtained a
warrant for Simons' arrest from Unit
ed States Commissioner r. H. Bunt-
ing. The warrant was duly executed
and the alleged offender placed under
a 5000 bond for appearance for trial
this morning. Mr.. j. w. Duls was ten
dered as bondsman and accepted.
Simons positively denies that he pur-
posely mutilated the money. He says
the money was offered him in pay
ment for some of his wares and that
while he was applying the test to see
if it was genuine or not. h alleged
violation occurred.

The important subject Of cash dis
counts cannot be brought too often or
too prominently to the attention of the
trade. In almost every line a discount
is allowed for prompt cash, for cash in
ten days, and for ash in thirty days.
The discount for cash range from the
minimum of a quarter of one per cent.
up to ten per cent, and even to fifteen
per cent in some cases. The discount
for cash is a very important factor
in business dealings and yet, strange
to say, it is recognized, apparently by
very few retailers. The shrewd alert
retailer perceiving the advantages of
cash discounts, will make it the earn
est purpose of his business career to
reach the point where he can discount
all his purchases. 1t is not possible
for all retailers to pay cash for all
their purchases at all times, but in his
own interest it is the duty Of every re-
taller to a the advantage that the
terms of sales offer up to the limit of
his ability. Let us examine into these
advantages. If the face value of the
bill natures at ninety days and the
time of sale is subject to a discount
of / per cen a month, then 8 per cent.
on the mount will be saved by cash
payment. The ambition Of the retailer
should be to make this entire amount,
u dlilL ~ Shot liz
should save as much of it as possible,
say a least 1 per cen To arrange
ones financial system so that he may
acquire the habit of d~iscounting bills
should be the aim of every enterpris-
ing merchant 1t will be a surprise
to those merchants who at present
profit to be able to disregard a small
matter like 1 per cent. a month, to
see how fixed the discounting habit
will become if it is only INDUCED in.
It is a most admirable habit, because
it is a profitable one. Anticipating
payments by the retailer may be lik-
ened to the morning opening of his
business place. If he opens fifteen
minutes earlier than usual, the fifteen
minutes thus gained will appear to be
the longest fifteen minutes of the
whole day. So it is with a dollar saved
by discounting. While it is only a
dollar, yet it seems larger than an or
binary dollar, because it comes as a
special reward for the capable admin
istration of the finances Of the bust
ness.

THE COMMISSIONERS MIDDLE.
Judge Allen Decides the Injunction
Case in Favor of the republican
Board,

Judge Oliver H. Allen, of the Superior
court, on yesterday sent down from
Rockingham, where he is holding court
his decision in the injunction case OF
the z. B. Walser, attorney general, on
behalf of the People, i'm relation to
Roger Moore eft al VS.. F. w Foster ct
al. He decides in favor of the Foster
board of commissioners of New Hanov-
er county by ~vacating th~etemporary or
der he issued at Fayetteville restrain
ing Commissioners Foster, Dempsey
and Nixon from exercising the func-
tions and rights of county commission
ers. Last Thursday at Fayetteville
Judge Allen heard argument on a mo-
tion to make permanent the temporary
injunction, Colonel Thomas w. Strange
and Jno. ID. Bethany, Esq, appering
for Colonel Roger Moore and the other
Democratic commissioners, and Mars
den Bethany and Judge j. C. MacRae
for the Foster, or Republican board.
1t is upon this motion that Judge AL
len makes his decision, which he re-
served after the argument by counsel.
1T was from the decision of Judge
Allen that the Bladen county case of
Barnhill against the commissioners
NNs taken to the Supreme Court which
RS emily reversed Judge Allen and held
that commissioners who elected them
selve members of the board of edu-
cation \itiated and vacated their office
as commissioners pon n constitu-
rional ground that a citizen can o
onl~ one off1S at a time. I'm jBladen
county the commissioners We're Demo
Gratis and Judge Allen decided against
h contentious of BarnnhiIl. In the
New Hanover county case tine same
question was involved and through
the decision of Judge ALLEN is the same
as in the Bladen county case, it leaves
the Republican board in power.
I'VE learn that it is probable that ar
appeal will be taken from Judge AL
aen's decision though h terms of the
commissioners will expire before the
supreme Cou meets.
