southern shores Of the great lakes, on the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, AMI on the At
lantic haibors. The main road from New
York 10 Philadelphia, though passing
through the principal cities Of New Jersey,
does not deviate six miles from an air line,
and this detection is due to the intrrposi,ion
OF navigable waters. These routes not only
excel in directness as we'll as in the number
OF important cities and towns they connect,
but they are confessedly superior in CON
slruction and equipment, Between Pitts
burgh and New York, 4i4 miles, the entire
line is double track, laid with heavy steel
rails with joins connected between ties by
a process that gives the effect Of continuous
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant
jarring. All bridges on the line are Of iron
or stone. A large portion Of this distance il
provided with third track, which enables
freight trains to keep entirely out Of the
way Of passenger travel, and permits the
express trains to run their allotted distance
without interruption, and near Philadcl-
phia, and other important terminal points,
four tracks have, for considerable dis
tances, been completed.
The Block signal system, exclusively
used on the Pennsylvania railroad through

OF train to know whether the track is

The Champion Tree Planter.

Martin county Mimi Sentinel
Mr.. A. l.. Ward, of the Martin COun.
ty Bank, has for some time past been
actively at work making ready for
Arbor Day. lie has his ground in the
best condition; his cuttings all pre-
pared, good muscular substitute on
hand-Mr Partlow-to stick them in.
and n couple of men in readiness to
keep the cuttings conveniently ar.
ranged for setting out, and to per.
form such other work rs the rules of
the State Forestry Association per-
mitted. The day opened finely Mr..
Partlow was in good trim for the con.
test and commenced his labors at
o'clock a. NJ. and, with the excep.
ton of about half an hour which he
appropriated for recuperating the
inner man, remained diligently and
constantly at work until nine O'Clock
p. NJ, at which time the tally indica.
ted that he had set out fifteen thou.
sand four hundred and eleven cuttings.
We are anxious TO hear from the
other counties, as we believe this
showing cannot be "scooped." and
that Mr. Ward win carry off the honor
of being the champion tree planter of
the Stnte. In addition TO this Mr.. W.
has set ont over $4,000 cuttings upon
his farm and still has n couple of men
engaged In this laudible work.

and none is than Judicial tyranny When courts

MAJoRITY-A DEMOCRATIC PRECINCT THROWN
| BY TELEGRAPH TRIBUsF.l
| TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. 29.-The Canvassing
Board has made little progress to-day The counties
| were taken up alphabetically, and the Democrats
attacked the County Of Alacbua. They alleged that
there was fraud in Archer Precinct. where instead
of 800 Republican votes, they claim that only $50
| Republican votes actually cast. They in
trOduced the affdayits of Green X. Moore and Floyd
Duke two inspectors of the election, and also of
bystanders, who that the correct vote $50
to 1876 counted and declared, and not the larger
vote, as they had certified. 1t also appeared that
when the ballot-box opened at the county seat
| only 277 ballots were found therein.
In reply the Republicans presented the affdavits
of Mr.. Vance, the clerk of Archer Precinct. and Mr.
Black, the other inspector, and several bystanders
showed that the actual vote counted and declared
was 800 to 1876. The poll-list also showed 535 per-
sons voting. Afhdavits were also produced mainly
| of the voters themselves, showing positively by
name that $50 Republican voters present and
voted all that could be reached since the charges
were made. In addition submitted later affi-
dayits from Moore and Duke stating that the original
return signed by them correct, and that their at-
davits to the contrary had been procured from them
while the former was in state of excitement, and
the late clerk. colOred man. intimdated by
the Democrats. 1t also appeared that the Demo-
Gratis watched and guarded tie Courthouse whero
the ballot-boxes kept from the 7th to tine 10Th
of November that if any person took ballots from
the Archer box it was the Democrats themselves.

Of both or all parties, entered upon the can

they knew perfectly well how the Return

bodies in all the States, composed There were no
conditions precedent announced OF submission TO the de-

in case such declarations OF results cOnformed the
