Atlantic aud Gulf Coast Canal.

The Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and
Okeechobee Land Company, of Florida, of
which the well-known lawyers Messrs.
Clarence Deringer and John Hancock, of
this city, are attorneys in this section, is
rapidly growing to be one of the most popu-
lar corporations, as well rs prosperous, in
the South. Information has been received
here from the vice-presidcnt, Mr.. j. j.
Dunno, of Philadelphia, that the company
is attracting large attention abroad as well
as at home, finding ready cash market for
all stock and in as large quantities that
they wish to sell. Last week on offer by
cable they sold 10000 shares to Messrs
Rothschild, of Frankfort, and refused "a
sell 10000 more to the same firm, preferring
to sell in small amounts in this country.
All Information in regard to the company
and its objects can be had on application to
Deringer & Hancock, 1920 Pennsylvania

Guardians of the Peace Alleged to
be Dlstnrbers of Rest.

To the Editor Of The Erening Critic:
You stated yesterday that there appeared
to be a lack Of police protection in East
Washington, and gave an instance. l want
to call attention to the fact that the guar
dians of the public peace" in other and
more populous portions of the city, besides
being more ornamental than useful, have an
unamiable way of annoying peacefully
inclined denizens.
In the silent hours of the night they hold
merry carnival in front of their quarters,
indulging in loud conversation for their
own pastime merely The tired business
men and others who seek and require
secure and quiet rest in the arms of
Morpheus must close their windows to the
grateful air these hot nights, or submit to a
severe mental and physical tax from the
whims and caprices of officials who arrest,
perhaps, a mush-melon pilferer in daylight
about once month.
Let them profit by the admonition given
by that noted magistrate into whose mouth
the eminent poacher and playwright put
tho following: "YOu shall make no noise
in the street for, for the watch to babble and
talk is most tolcrable and not to be On
dured" MAN.wHo-LOvEs-sLEE

To-day, before Judge Wylie, in Chambers,
the petition of Francis Carter for man
damus on the District Commissioners and
others to compel Francis NJ. Draney to re-
move the night-soil collected by Carter, was

business on his own hook, wished to COM
pei Draney to carry out of the District

the arguments of counsel to-day, the de-
murrer was sustained and the petition dis

A Song.

Sang low and long, sang late ana louu'
Until the young moons silver PROV
Was lost behind n bar of cloud.
The south wind paused and held It's
breath
Sing loud and lnte, sing low and long
While, sweet rs love ana sad rs death,
The matchless notes rose wild and strong.
They rang with rapture, loss and change--
Sing low and late, sing long AMI loud
A tumult passionate and strange,
A specifics grief, patience proud;
Till with " farewell for eveImore -
Sing late and loud, sing low and long
Like waves that kiss barren shore
In sobbing cadence died the song.

ST. PAUL, March 2.-About 10 o'clock
last night, while both houses were in ses'
sion, an alarm OF fire was sounded, which
startled the members from their seats.
Rushing from the chambers they were
confronted with q falling frebrand from
the dome Of the Capitol, which was
already ablazs. A hook.and.ladder com.

to the scene, and with the aid Of these
ladders the members all escaped, some ol
them slightly singed. The building burned
rapidly to the ground, entailing loss 10
the State OF over 100000 for the struc,
ture, and the loss Of the historical and the
Supreme Court library, much greater
loss, because they cannot be restored. The
records were all saved, however, As they
were In the vaults. One OF the vaults con.
tainsover two millions Of State trust bonds,
which are without doubt saved. The
Legislature has but two days to stand.
The Market Hall was fitted up for their
accommodation. There was no insurance.
There was great excuse for the panic
which reigned supreme throughout the
Capital at the first cry OF fire. II was par
tiCularly thrilling. Occupants OF the gal
lery rushed pellmell over each other tor
the narrow stairs TO the corridor. Driven
back by the smoke, they let themselves
down over the railing into the body Of the
House. The members rushed for the
doors without stopping for hats, coats OF
papers. When the doors were opened 4
dense volume Of smoke drove them back
and wild rush was made for the win.

the police headquarters to-day through
the Mulberry street entrance, and after
taking along look around and peep into the

up long fight Of stairs into the chief
