The Clabber Club.

The club met ON Monday night, pur-
suant to adjournment, and Judge Yer
trees took the chair. Governor Towns
objected thinking he had been elected
presiding officer, but the chairman sent
him to bring in the dish Of clabber, and
he forgot his disappointment. Squire
Burton, of Crescent City, was proposed
and unanimously elected to full member
ship On being informed that it was d
part of the iniatory service for the new
member to say grace, the gentleman
grasped his spoon and INDUCED in the
pious hope that Putnam might be blessed
with a rain of pretty girls. On being
questioned, he said he spelled the word
rain; whereupon he was fined for in
sinuating that our county needed beauty
as much as rain; whereas the chairman
ruled the first is so abundant that MANY
industries are seriously injured by the
devotion Of the boys. To this sentence
Governor Towns objected, as he could
not understand what difference the
spelling could make: whereupOn- it was
moved and ordered that the treasurer
provide the gentleman, at the expense of
the club, with a grindstOne, on which he
might sharpen his-wits. The Gov
ernOr thanked the club, but avOwed his
readiness to accept a rasp instead, with
which instrument Of torture he hoped in
time to bring himself to that degree of
sharpness demanded by the club.
Truthful Jeems then made a long ex-
PLANTATION about a certain insect, but al
though several offered remarks on the
subject, the chairman declared himself
still unsatisfed, and ordered the adver-
tisement inserted which appeared in
Tuesdays paper-said notice be at Spikes
expense.
A report of communications from alb
sent friends or members was read. Mai. o.
Royal said he had left to heal the wounds
of bleeding heart, and asked that the club
send him, in his exile, its best wishes
done up in potato custard. The lion
hearted Towns sneered at this, saying he
knew where the members heart was
whereupon the chairman was indignant
at his levity, and sternly ordered that he
abstain from eating for two minutes. To
make sure that this order was enforced.
Spike was directed to hold his spoon.
A resolution was offered expressing
the sympathy of the club with the posi-
ton taken by one of its members in the
preservation of peace and order, but
having been assured by Spike that every

body else in the town had done so, the
/ resolution was changed, and the member
who had been 50 honored by his fellow
/ townsmen was requested to "set 'em
up, which was Immediately done.
/ a most pleasant letter from Mr.. TRAY
/ ers, of Richmond, Va. was read and the
/ greetings of the club were returned to that
/ gentleman, with the hope of having him
/ again among Us soon. A letter from the
I Loco-foco Of Buffalo Bluff was found to
be missing, and he was urged to write
next time and give his opinion as to
whether Towns was a ''tattooed man. or
not
A note from the Mayor and Aldermen
was read, expressing sympathy with the
purposes and amusements of the club,
but asking that, if possible the meetings
be attended with less noise; whereupon.
Towns moved that the club engage a
room large enough to contain the laugh
of the chairman, and then wanted to
fight somebody because his motion was
not seconded. He was then put upon
trial, and found guilty; he Immediately
declared his intention of whipping the
chairman and having duels with all the
members, but finally subsidized with the
remark that he was an ill-used man.
On motion, the chairman was ordered
to visit the patroness of the club and in
vestigate the former committee, with full
power TO prefer articles of impeachment,
/ if necessary.
Maj. Burton then moved that the club
adjourn to Cunneely's, that he might in
terview Mr.. Mumm, but this was de-
clined with many thanks, and the mem
bers shook hands solemnly with the
chairman, and withdrew with inverted
tureen and crossed spoons.

Necessity of a Fire Limit.

Editor Of the DAILY NEWS:
Interested in the welfare and progress
Of our booming city, think it my duty
to send you this communication and call
the attention of the public to the neces-
sity of fire limit. Having tried vainly
for several weeks to interest the aldermen
in such a limit, in which no buildings ex-
cept those constructed of brick, should be
erected, and finding nothing but disap-
pOintment, dare to assert publicly that
in case of large COnhagratiOn. which,
according to all experience, is, under the
circumstances, inevitable, the aldermen
of this city are, in a large measure, more
responsible than any one else. The i'm
preston under which these gentlemen er-
roneOusly labor seems to be, that there is
no other way of reconstruction of the
town, except it should first be burned.
will state that I know personally four
parties, who are willing to erect in the
course of twelve or eighteen months brick
blocks, if there was only protection for
them, and their right and left hand
neighbors be forbidden to erect yellow
pitch pine buildings possibly one or two
stories higher than the brick block AL
lowing and permitting the erection of a
structure consuming a million feet Of
this wood in the heart Of our city is a
dangerous offence in itself.
What is the use of the citizens organic
ing, and giving their time, money, and
hard labor to engine and hook and ladder
companies under these circumstances.
Can the best organized and trained body
Of firemen in this city, nay, can the best
fire department of the world, that of New
York, fight a fire originating in these
cinder boxes
The fires of Ocala and Gainesville
should be considered as the strongest kind
of a lesson for Us, and measures should
be taken to prevent like calamity or at
least reduce the danger to a minimum.
Let US believe and try to change our
frame buildings in course Of time and
gradually into large and substantial brick
blocks, and the only way to do it is to
stop at once the construction of frame
buildings in the business district of the
city, which would respectfully propose
to the consideration of our common coun-
Gil. This fire limit might begin at the
foot of Main Street, run east to Firtt
Street. south TO Laurel Street and east
again TO the river. RUD.

A RUN OFF.
A Bad Wreck on the Florida South
ern Near Gainesville.

ern Near Gainesville.
On Monday evening, as the west
bound passenger train on the Florida
Southern Railway reached the high en-
bankment between Gruelie aud Gaines
vile, the freight car just in front of the
baggage and passenger coaches jumped
the track, throwing the baggage and pas
senger coaches down the embankment
The embankment at this point is about
fifteen feet high, and as the cars went
over the first box was completely demOl-
ished, the baggage and second-class coach
turned completely over, and all dam
aged to a considerable extent The first
class coach is a complete wreck, and
nothing will be saved from it except the
irons.
There were eight passengers aboard
all of whom were more or less bruised
and injured. none of them seriously hurt,
however. As the coach went over, a
Mr.. r. P. Morla jumped through a Win
dow and fell under the car, but it went
down with such force as to jump COM
pletely over him. He had a narrow es-
cape from death, and was only slightly
injured.
Conductor S. NJ. Scruggs was hurt on
one leg, and he thinks one of the bones
Of his wrist is fractured, but is otherwise
uuinjured.
The engine and front freight cars
passed over safely, and were uninjured
ldr. Scruggs does not know what caused
the run off, nor the amount of damage
the company suffered by the accident.
Accidents are of rare occurrence on
this road, as the management and en-
pIoyes are careful and watchful at all
times, and the roadbed and rolling stock
are kept in good repair. 1t was fortu-
nate that no lives were. lost in this acct
dent, and that those caught in the wreck
escaped with so slight injuries is truly re-
markable.

Dear Sir-In regard to your article

Confederate Soldiers Home, allow me to

arrangements for an excursion over the
Florida Southern Railway to "Oliver
Park, near Gainesville. I am satisfied
that such an excursion would be well pa
tronized, and considerable more funds
raised towards a noble cause. as [ well
