Suicide OF IL Clergyman.

TRENTON, N. j., November 13. 49,
Rev. Henry Williamson, rector ofSt.

Bold Assertion of tho Loyalty f the So
ciety to Cleveland and Hendricks.
NEW York. November 11.-At n
meeting ofthc Tamnauy Hall commits
tee on organization last night, lhe dis
trict leaders, almost without exception.
reported that their ticket was beaten
by trading on the part of the County
Democracy of Cleveland for their local
ticket. In one or two instances ONLY
Tammany members were reported dis
loyal, and the leaders claimed that
Tammany was next to universal i'm
honest allegiance to the National ticket.
The figures quoted showed that where
Blaine got more votes than the Demo
cratic county tickets the County Dcfno-
cracy ticket ran ahead. Register
Reilly said that the Blaine men were
wearing the County Democracy badge
in his district. Reilly also charged
that Maurice i. Finn, promihent
County Democrat, had given young
man named German, a bartender, $400
to desert Tam many. Other members
made specific charges. Speeches were
made by George III. Foster, candidate
for district attorney, w. Bourkc
Cochran and others, in which the
County Doc:ocrcy was generally charg-
ed with disloyaltv to Cleveland. Re-
solutions were adopted congratulatin9
the people on the election Of Cleveland
and Hnndricks.

PERSONALS.

Mrs. B. NJ. Baer and her niece, Miss
Emile Printers, are stopping at the Cal-
Teton House.
Mr.. J. G. Tucker, of Fruitland, while
in town yesterday, gave us a pleasant
call and left a good list of subscribers.
Mr.. J. P Appleby, of Fruitland, was
in Palatka yesterday, and like good
citizen came in and subscribed for The
News.
Mr. Frank Adams, representing the
Florida Orange Blossom Orange Tree Fer
tilizer, of Baltimore, was in the city yes
terday. Capt. R. J. Adams has taken
the agency for this brand of fertilizers
at Palatka.
Mr.. S. w. Travers, with S. II. Royal,
has returned from Indian River, and is
better pleased than ever with Florida.
Some of his experiences while travelling
express in a country cart, with the tradi-
tiOnal mule, will astonish his friends in
Baltimore and Richmond. He reports
the fertilizer fisheries on the coast as only
less than completely successful because
of the sharks. These ravenous fishes at
tack the nets when full of fish and tear
great holes in them to secure their prey.
| There is no lack of fish, but the sharks
commit great inroads on the profits by
making wholesale destructiono of the nets.
In time Florida and Georgia will be sup
piled with fish guano from our coasts,
but the attack of the sharks must first be
neutralized. He who does this makes
fortune, and the Clabber Club advises
| dynamite.

1 New Venture

We are glad to see the Sanford Jour
nal endorse so emphatically the ''Ship-
pers' Liue, lately put upon our river by
some citizens of Putnam county. The
owners are largely interested in our
county they are men of business ability
and capital, and we know from personal
experience that the practical workings of
the company are kept at high standard
of excellence. The business, too, is in
creasing, and two new boats viii be put
on as soon as arrangements now under
consideration are perfected. Competi-
ton is always the life of trade, but we
are especially glad to see needed rivalry
take the shape of an enterprise which
pays taxes here and benefits our citizens.
Success to the Merrimac and her consorts.
