A Cyclone in Flori da.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 12.-Dispatches
from Middle and East Florida report consid-
cradle damage by the storm of Sunday morn
ing. The cotton crop was much damaged, IN
some places one half the crop being ruined.
At Quincy many outhouses, fences, trees, etc.,
were FRUSTRATED, and five persons, all colored
were killed. In Madison much damage was
done to property, trees, &c. At Darbyville,
25 miles west of jacksonville, the section
house of the Florida Central and Western
Railroad was blown to pieces, the section
master and his family miraculously escaping
with a few bruises. The adjoining house,
containing a number of colored laborers, was
blown to atoms. Sam. White was blown two
or three hundred yards through the air, fear
fully mangled and instantly killed. Five 9TH
ers were more or less injured by the wind and
flying timbers. Sticks and boards were driven
several feet into the ground by the force OF
the wind, huge trees were twisted and broken
and grass was torn up by the roots. Many
cattle and hogs were killed. Those who saw
the cloud describe it as pear-shaped, rising
and falling in its progress and luminous with
red and yellow light. AT Tallahassee, Gal
ties Hall, the new hotel, and other buildings
were unroofed, the new Episcopal church was
badly damaged, and some of the magnificent
oaks in the capitol yard that had withstood
the blasts ola century, were uprooted

New Jersey Apple-Jack.

The Newark Journal says this year there
will be from 10000 to 10000 gallons of apple
Jack made in Sussex county, and about the
same quantity in Orange county, N. Z. The
even years are always the bearing ones in
Sussex and Orange counties. Not since 1872
has the crop been SO large as it is this season.
There is more apple whisky made in Orange
and Sussex counties than in any other two
counties in the United States. The annual
average distillation is 1900 gallons, which
Yields government revenue of about $780,
600. The government statistics show that
there is as much apple whisky made in Orange
county as there is of liquor distilled from
other fruit in any county in the United States.
Sussex county was formerly the greatest pro-
Queer of this tipple, and it is said to have
originated there. In 1880 there was notvery
much apple whisky made. This year there
will be an unusual quantity of this whisky
made, the fruit crop being very abundant.
AT the still apple whisky as worth S1.50 gall
lon. AS it increases in age it shrinks and
becomes more precious every year. At its
best it ought to bring not less than SIS a gallon,
although there are thousands of gallons stored
away in the cellars of Sussex county that
would readily fetch $40 or SIS a gallon. A
man near Deckertown has some apple-iack
that was made in 1898, and he values It at $40
a gallon. There is more apple, jack used in
Jersey than in any other State in the Union,
and the consumption is more than the produc-
ton every year. M

that card | stated that had not finally deter
mined whether or not would be candidate
for reelection to the Judgeship which | now
hold. In addition to the reasons | assigned
for not then announcing myself candidate,
there were paramount considerations which
influenced my action in this regard. desired to
look about and ascertain whether could find
any other employment or occupation by which
| could earn livelihood for myself and a de-
cent support for those who are dependent ON
me. If could be reasonably certain of this
would with great pleasure retire from the Bench
with heartfelt thanks to you, the people of this
circuit, Of all political parties, who, by your
out-spoken approval from time to time of my
official conduct, have sustained me in the
faithful performance of the onerous duties |

am convinced that fifteen years. service on
the Bench to which service | have given my
whole and undivided attention, has untitled
me, at my time of life, for success in any 9th

Il feel constrained, therefore, to appeal to
you for permission to continue to labor in an

The Star Route Verdict.

A verdict was reached in the Star Route
cases on Monday, after trial of nearly
three and a half months. Of the eight
conspirators, tried together, only Miner and
Rerdell were convicted and the verdict is
a surprise to all. In the public mind all
are guilty, and the disagreement OF the jury
will not affect the public verdict Brady
and the Dorseys must have been guilty II
any were, and the jury stood IL to ! for
the conviction of J. w. Dorsey; 10 to 2
for the conviction of ex-Assistant Postmas-
ter General Brady; and 8 to 4 for the con-
viction of ex-senator Dorsey. 1t is said
the government will retry the cases, and
leave no stone unturned to get verdict.
OF this there is not much probability, but
much good has been done. The mail con-
tract frauds have for time been stopped,
and the Republican election corruption
fund has been cut short many thousands.
Tt was these star-route rascals that contrib
uted quarter of million of dollars to
carry Indiana in 1880 for the Republicans,
and virtually secured the election OF Gar
field. The money contributed was out OF
the funds stolen from the government by
fraudulent mail contracts, with the connl-
vance of high government officials.

Death of a Living Skeleton.

Josh Gunter, commonly known as the liv-
ing skeleton, died at his home in Occohanock
Neck last week. He was twenty three years
old. and has been down about three years.
During the time he has had a ravenous appe-
lite and great thirst, but has been unable to
retain anything on his stomach. 1t required
about two gallons of water to quench his
thirst. He would drink himself full and emit,
and drink himself full again and emit again
and again. Solid food affected him in the
same way, and he would eat nothing but
ssmeat and bread" Anything sweet increased
the nausea. During the last year of his life
there had been, to all appearance, an entire
absence of muscular tissue. A mans finger
could be placed between his ribs and the fin
ger and thumb could encircle his thigh at any
part He had little if any pain, was cheerful
and generally hungry and thirsty, requiring
food and drink every few hoafs.. He was en-
tirely helpless, and his mother bore him about
in her arms with ease. Curiosity cansed many
to visit him, and overy one who saw him was
filled with sympathy and astonishment-On Oman

The Sun and the Press.

~The Voice of Maryland-Sentiment Of
the State Press-What the County Papers
saw About Bossism-The Suns Course In
dorsed, is the heading the Baltimore San
puts over some extracts from the Cdtce9'
Journal, Kent Nesos, CentreriAe Record
and Hagerstown Mail. These papers the
San calls Democratic journals. One is a
Democratic paper, but it only indorses a
part of the Sans views; another is more
Independent than Democratic, and the other
two are Hamilton journals-not Democratic
ones. j"
The San is not endorsed by the great
majority of Maryland Democratic papers.
IF it would be fair, and give extancts from
the Easton Star, ST. Mary's Beacon, the
Rockville Sentinel and Adtacate, Mary
land Republican, Bee 4i& Agis, Cecil
Democrat, TowsontowA Journal, Hagers-
town. News, CaaaLaaage Chronicle, Fred
eEipk Citisss, Cumberland AUeganian,
Port Tobacco Times and Independent, Ell
hcott City Times and other Democratic
journals of power and influence, the readers
of the Sam would readily see that its course
is not Endorsed. t..
Some of the views of the Sun all accept,
for they embody true Democratic doctrine,
but for it to attempt to show that there is
''bossism' in Maryland as pertains to Ma
hone in Virginia and Cameron in Pennsyl-
vania is simply ridiculous. Where the
''bossism" is in Maryland, and who are the
"bosses,' the San has not attempted to
show 1t contents itself with the assertion
that ''bossism' prevails, and in asserting it.,
has imagined itself great reform journal
and that it is doing wonderful work,
whilst the Democratic party, if not the Re
publican, is laughing at its absurdities.
One of its absurdities is that no party man
should vote with his party if the candidate
does not suit his personal taste. AS before
shown in these columns, such a course
would disorganize all parties, and confusion
and bad government would result.
As newspaper the SIN is success
As political journal it is a failure A
long continuance of its present course will
result in loss of power and influence, and
