PHILADELPHIA, March 2O.-Now that the
Philadelphia capitalists, who are about ia
reclaim the immense tracts Of land in the
State OF Florida, known as the Everglades,
have completed their contract with that
State, 1t is no longer q secret that one Of
the main features of the gigantic scheme
is the building Of ship canal across the
State Of Florida. This project almost
equals IN importance that OF reClaiming
1000, 600 acres OF the richest land in the
world south OF the frost belt.
A ship canal across the State OF Florida
has been the dream OF engineers for years,
1t would not only shorten the distance be-.

coast and oil European ports 10 New Or.

Gulf OF Mexico, but 1t would avoid the
dangers To navigation which are expert.

reels of the Southern and Southwestern
coast OF Florida. All ship captains know
Of this danger which is often aggravated
by hurricanes, which are common to the
southwark oI Florida, but which are com.
paratively unknown on the west coast in
the region OF Tampa Bay.
It Is well known that number OF New
York capitalists have been endeavoring
for some years to get a charter from the
State Of Florida to build ship canal, but
the Philadelphia company, with great
deal Of shrewdneas, have got ahead Of
them. In connection with tho Isthmus

Special Dispatch TO the IntOIlISsncsr
Mr., John H, Zsvely, the gentleman who
has stirred your city up over the discovery
OF some very bold Iorgeriss perpetrated BY
him, and who left his home suddenly, WA
in this town on Saturday evening, anC
stopped at the residence Of Hon, H, S
White. He must have left Wheeling or
one OF the stock trains to have arrived IN
this town tthe hour he put iu an appear
ance. lie pretended to be going to Fair
mont, but at the same time he was noticed
to be keeping a close watch on
the movements OF the telegraph
operator, His peculiar actions in that re-
gard excited the suspicion that he was not
all right, nor what he pretended to be. He
told Miss Corson, q lady who lives at Mr.,
Whites house, that he was going away on
Sunday morning, but failed to make any
movement toward carrying out his inten'
tIons-remaining in the house all day and
appearing to be greatly distressed in mind.
In the evening, about seven O'Clock,
the Wheeling Sunday papers were thrown
of the fast train, aud were soon distribu.
ted. Miss Corson brought one into the
room where Mr., Zsvely and others were
seated, and read in full, round tone the
article headed "a Pious Fraud" During
the reading Of the article the actions oi
the consCIenCe.smlt man were painful
to behold-belng deacribsd as something
resembling person afflicted with St. An
thony's dance. He was SO agitated that
all believed him to be the man referred to.
AS soon as he learned all he could out Of
the Lsadsr as to his SHORTCOMINGS, he left,
walking east. There Is but little doubt,
but what he Is between here and Grafton,
or In Greene county, Pa, footing 1t, as he
seemed averse to travelling by rail. X.
