The State Treasurer will prosecute his appeal In the penitentiary claims case. Pending its final decision, however, such claims as contain only debts or pans ol debts contracted prior to Jan? uary I, 18119, though made out tip to March 6, 1809, will be paid. T.> injure this an aflldavlt 1>kh been printed In blank form, and will be attached to all warrants beforo payment. Holders of claims contracted both before and af? ter January 1st, will bo unable to make this aflldavlt and must await final de? cision of tili' caae by the Supreme Court before ;;MtliiK their money. The following statement in regard to the penitentiary finances was yesterday given oui at the Statu Treasurer's office: "The State's Prison Has drawn out the balance it had In the State Treas? ury January 1, l.sW, which was Sl.CSI.S.,. H has drawn all the collections turned into tho Treasury from earnings since January I, which was $20,6tit>.27. It has drawn all the special appropriations made by the last General Assembly, $5,414.10, and also $35,f,17.13 nut of the $50,000 appropriation for support for the year 1890, making the total drawn from the State Treasury since January 1, $63,282.35. This prison has hud in ad? dition to this all receipts from earnings Blncc February !*? U!>!>, none since that time have been turned into the Treas? ury. Figuring just a little will show that ~rut >.f the $5u.0G0 appropriated to sup plement the earnings and run the en? terprise this year only Jll.^Sj.ar rein.uns In the Treasury. Out of ihe $63,282.35 spent by the prison ihis year out of the. Treasury only $22,351.12 was from earnings, and $40,931.23 was straight out of (he Treasury. Of those earnings $21,638 was applied on last year's debts, leaving of earnings only $813.13 appli? cable to the current year's accounts, and showing a net total of $11,744.35 on thici year's accounts. "Divide the $.",0,000 appropriation Into twelve months and take 6% months, the amount, will be found to be $27,08.3.3;). AVhile the prison ha.* drawn everything else In sight and $35,517.13 on this ac? count, which shows they have had over the proportion, $8.433.80. "If It has required all the Income from earnings and (40,931.23 to run the prison for the last G',i. months with no old debts in their way the question now is. how will the prison pull through the next f>'i months on only $14,4S3.97, ?which is all It has to Its credit in the State Treasury for the balance of the year. "Remember that of the appropria? tions, tho whola $40,9.11.23 added to $813.12 from earnings of last year, t > gather with all other receipts by the prison since February 9ih, have all been used on this year's accounts. The other old accounts prior to January 1st having been provided for by sules of bonds, are not Included In "the above figures." SCHOOL BONDS SOLD.

NEW BERN Fusionists Recopturo the Oyster and Fish Navy. They IMuy n Nlirewil Unitlfl lipon the Democratic I'loh CoiiiimInn|o,ii, Thereby Nrotirlllg tho Kteitllinr l.llllv. The steamer LIUIc has been re-cap? tured by tiie EusionlstS and lies at iin chor in the Trent river in possession of a hireling crew. The seizure was made with a writ served by Sheriff Halm, is? sued by Judge Drown, fatner-ln-law of Senator Prltchard, nnd is the outcome of tlie suits now in tile courts. When the deputy boarded the Lltlic it was ut a. lime when no one was on board. When the Democracy learned of the disaster Major S. D. Pope was in proud possession of the deck ami de? clined to allow the Democratic ship keeper or any other person on board. It is iL mutter of history how the new Board of Fish Commission got posses? sion uf the oyster steam, r shortly after the adjournment uf the Legislature last spring. Some little force was used on that occasion and then the matter was heard before A magistrate In New Bern. Me decided that the Democratic .seizure Was Illegal and the case wont before the Patlllico Superior Court. Judge Bowman, who heard tin- case, also de? cided in favor of the fuKionists thai the seizure was forcible nnd contrary to law. The case was .appealed ami will be heard In September before Supreme Court nt Raleigh. it has been no bonanza for Hie new Fish Commission, of which ,f. M. Clay? ton, of Hyde county, is chairman. The administration of Governor Russell has had the inside on the whole matter. When I he new_commission llrsi tM.ik hold they si nt On some bills that had been Incurred and they wfcre paid, but when the members s> nt on their vouch? ers for their Urs. month's pay they were turned down. The suit had been begun and all salary claims were held over. The Gillie needs repairs. No money has been avallobic ami tin- boat needs to go Into dry dock. The craft cost $6,000, and $1.500 would not b too much to put her in good order. However, it might be cheaper to lot the steamer sink in deep water somewhere, unless It can be explained what use 'be State of North Carolina has for a navy. ICIlKVrt?!?.
