Capt. Jack Barry, master and owner Of the

ceased having entered his house for the pur-
pose OF committing a robbery, and, upon being
foiled by resistance, sought in a struggle to
overcome by force Tie obstruction to his inten-

hand, which, during the fearful conflict, he
seized and used most effectively. Coroner j .
II. Esmonde held an inquest on the body Of
the deceased. The following was the verdict
rendered; we, the jurors, find that the de-

" Ihe so-called 'DisstOn purchase is a large

part OF the state, and adjOins what is known
as the Everglades and the Lake OEeechObee

submerged land, which is now in process of
being drained and freed from the shallow
OvernOwing water. The tract purchased by
Mr.. DisstOn, of Philadelphia, was 4,OOO, 900
acres. portion Of this is now offered for
