FIRE RECORD.

A Hotel on Fire-ThrilIing Scenes in The
 Early Morning-One Hundred Guests
 Have a Marrow Escape.
 JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 1.-The Suawanee Sulphur Springs House, at Suawanee, one of the most noted resorts in the State, was burned to the ground at five o'clock this second story of the building in a hallway directly over the kitchen. A strong wind was blowing and with lightning-like rapidity carried the flames to every part of the build ing. The house was a square five turretted wooden structure containing 125 rooms and reputed to be the finest edifice of the kind in the State. Nearly one hundred guests were domiciled within, nearly all of whom were northerners. They were asleep in their rooms when the fire broke out and but for the frantic efforts of the night clerk and other employees who were astir and rushed through the corridors bat tering down doors and arousing the sleepers as best they could the loss of life would have been terrible. Nearly all were obliged to es- cape by jumping through the windows and from the verandahs. Several sustained broken limbs and other injuries of 8 serious conhictingIy reported as both from Boston and New York, ran through the hall and was severely but not fatally burned. A negro servant girl and 8 negro bellboy are reported missing to night and probably perished. The only telegraph office at Live Oaks, twelve miles distance. is so remote from the ecene that accurate de- tails have to-day been almost unobtainable. The hotel building and all it's contents, includ ing the effects of the guests, is total loss. The building and furniture were valued at nearly $1O0, GOO, insured for $51, ,0O0. None of the visitors had any insurance on their property. train thi1 wss sent afternoon to convey the sufferers to Jacksonville.

HOW PROTECTION WORKS.
How Much Home Market Pennsylvania

1t Is asserted nearly as often as an
Is presented in favor of a
high protective tariff that one Of liz

products, thus putting money in the
purses OF our farmers, as well as Of the
manufacturers.
IL Is a plausible assertion and has In
Its day captured many converts even
among these very farmers whose hopes
IL WIS intended to excite.
Whatever of good there may be In
the system 1t ought now, after nearly
q quar.es Of u century, be enabled 10
establish. The average life Of man
ia reckoned at thirty-three ears, which
gives twelve years OF active labor Ia
each generation; but the factor Of in
iantiie mortality 50 reduces the gen,
eral average that perhaps iii,
average laboring years Of mar
may be placed as high as sixteen

The ceremony which was very i'm

for the occasion. Arches OF flowers and
evergreen had been erected over the
aisle under which the prospective bride
and groom entered, preceded by the
ushers and Sabbath school class OF
Miss Berry, arrayed in white, who
stood at her side at the altar, attesting
their love and respect for their teacher
who had led their young lives in the
path way of Christian hope.
After the ceremony congratulations
were extended, when the couple took
the train for the east. Along with the

Fashion Notes.

Silk gloves come In all colors 70
match the costume.
Belt bouquets are more fashionable
than corsage bouquets.
Surah is fashionable for brides,
trimmed with quantities Of lace.
Black lace plays most important
part in feminine toilet this season,
being used extensively.
Nuns yelling is a favorite materi-
al this season, and few things are
prettier, as its softness renders it SO
capable of being draped and folded
in almost any wav.
Tulle in all colors is extensively
used for dressy bonnets. A tiny
shirred bonnet OF gray tulle, with
a wreath of moss rose buds around
the crown, is charming, also one
made Of black tulle trimmed with
forget me nots.
Soft goods should be made up per-
fectly soft, and whatever stiffness
is required should be made in the
underskirts. and if stiff material is
introduced thestuff loses its pretty
effect. Null should never be starch
ed when it is washed.

COUNTY ROADS.

We find in this weeks issue of
the Statesman an editorial on
county roads, in which we heartily
concur. The condition of the
roads at the present time is far
superior to what they were in for
mer years, but they are only half
roads now. The County Court
should be very liberal in appro-
priations for such purpose, and
then be sure that the fund is
placed in safe and sure hands for
expenditure. We note that in
Pennsylvania there is talk of
making an appropriation of one
million dollars annually to be used
in improving and keeping in re-
pair the roads of the State. We
believe that at least one-fourth of
the taxes should be thus expended
and in no other way can the tax
payer be better benefited or re-
ceive in return a fair share of the
levy required of him. This SUBJ
ject requires deep and earnest at
tention and should receive the
best thought of all our citizens.

A NEW PHASE OF THE as
SESSMENT QUESTION.

Mr.. II. M. Russell, attorney for
the Auditor Of the State, in the
recent effort to obtain from the
Court of Appeals a mandamus
compelling an Assessor to obey
the instructions of the Governor
and assess property plainly ex-
empted by existing statute, has
now endeavored to muzzle the
press and place upon the pen of
the editor the restraining hand of
a Judge. The editor of the Mtet-
hgencer expressed himself pretty
forcibly in opposition to the views
held by the Governor and by the
client of the attorney, and there
upon the attorney whilst denying
any personal feeling of injury APP
plies to the Court of Appeals for
a rule against the publishers of
the Itelligencer to show cause
why they should not be proceeded
against for contempt of Court,
and such a rule has been issued.
Now to our mind an editor
would have as much right to die
tate the opinions ola judge as has
a judge to regulate the opinions
of an editor. There are public
questions affecting organic and
State law and proper subjects for
discussion by every citizen. They
are questions of law and not state
ments of evidence, therefore the
editor, if he chooses so to do, has
n right to venture an opinion and
publish it. To prevent this would
prevent opposing counsel from
either discussion or opinion. 1t
would be mandatory and unreal
sonable. improper and tyranical.
Of course if this editor makes per-
sonal charges or statements tend
ing to discredit, disgrace or dis
honor any person, whether an of
fetal or private citizen, and he
cannot maintain the same, then
he can and should be held liable
under the law, for that is n viola
ton OF personal privilege. These
proceedings are likely to stir up
intense feelings among the voters
during the coming campaign.
