STATES $2,635,215.
Comes to Treasury This Month In
Form of Taxes.

From the taxes payable to the
state this month the treasury will be
enriched in the sum of 1855, 215t
The taxes are as follows:
Corporation income tax, 1887, =
230: on savings banks deposits for
six months, $31 900; tax of one-haIf
Of per cent on the capital stock Of
insurance companies, $616.985.
It is now expected that there viii
be a, balance in the treasury at the
close Of the present fiscal year even
after putting aside the half million
dollars for the redemption Of bonds
The purchase Of bonds would reduce
the amount Of interest which the
state is called on to pay. The sink
ing fund of half a million dollars a
year for thearedemption of the bonds
will be invested in municipal bonds
and in that way they will be a source
Of income to the state.

ton of the lightship to the point Of
the shoal ground.
In consequence Of reueated and
urgent representation the department
of commerce caused the Cape Look
out Hghtshtp to be anchored fully 10
miles to the southwark Of the Lookout
shoals and a lighted gas buoy was
placed about IL miles to the seaward
Of the Frying Pan shoals. The effect
Of the replacing of those important
aids to navigation on the North Car
DINA coast has been a marked de-
crease in the number of marine dis
asters of those waters.
Members of the local branch of the
Masters, Mates and Pilots association
are of the opinion that if the theory
works out in South Carolina it will
be equally successful, if given a
chance in Long Island sound.

The efforts Of the American As

ference of opinion between the prose
cution and defense in the trial of Will

form The defense brought out that
the motorman stepped off the platform
with a controller in his hand. The
fight occurred at Second avenue and
Eighteenth street Friday night after
the street car had struck Gabels auto
mobile.

able campers may have an opportunity
of staying as leaders for the younger
