a Race with a whirIwind.

A remarkable and thrilling incident Of
Tuesdays storm was related to the repor-
ter by a party who was travelling on a
train on the Chester and Lenoir Narrow
Guage railroad at the time the incident
occurred. The train had passed Lowervs-
vile and was speeding in the direction of
Lincolnton. when all on board were
startled by a roaring sound that be dis
unctly heard above the noise of the train
and on glancing back they saw an i'm
mense whirlwind tearing along the rail
road track, following directly behind the
train at a rapid rate. The engineer was
among the first to see it, and realizing
what the consequences would be should
the whirlwind overtake the train. he
pulled the trottle wide open and an ex-
citing race was began. The whirlwind
was not more than five hundred yards
behind the train and the anxious passen-
gers soon became aware of the painful
fact that it was gradually gaining upon
them. There We're several ladies in the
O''i anu OilSy NlI6u anu carried on at
terrible, while the men danced about the
car in their excitement, vainly yelling at
the engineer to put on more steam.
The race was kept up this way for two
miles, when the train turned a curve in
the road. As the whirlwind struck the
curve it left the railroad track,
speeding its way straight on
through the fields. AT the time it left
the track it was notmore than three hun
dred yards behind the train. It was a
thrilling race and all the passengers
blessed that cm We from the bottom of
their hearts.

Our Broad Guage.

We had an interview with Mr.. G.. c.
Collins of the J. 7. & K. w. Road last
evening in which some important infor-
nation was gained. Between Palatka
and Jacksonville there will soon be in
operation five saw mills, and within the
next thirty days four towns will be To-
Gated and surveyed. Among these West
Tocoi, Hollywood and Teasdale will be inn
portant points.
Mr.. Collins appeared before the council
last night tc ask for the right-of-way
through Rose street to the city limits for
the j. I. & K. w. and P. & |. Roads.
This he considered necessary to these
roads in their southwark course. and
would require passage through only four
blocks not already granted The petition
was referred to the Street Committee.
The J. T. & k. w. will cross the river
at Buffalo Bluff; thence on the line of
the P. & I. Railroad to Titusville From
some point on this line a branch to San
ford, crossing the river just north of

summer. For the next season the time
between Jacksonville and Sanford will
be only four to five hours, and this
branch will ultimately be continued
across to Charlotte Harbor But the
main line will continue on the east side
of the river to Titusville. Thence south
on the coast line and on the KEYS to Key
West.
The engineers of the road have decided
that entrance to Key West from the
mainland is impossible, and consequently
the road will continue its way on the
keys, beginning with Key Largo.
Through freight cars are now running
between St. Louis and Palatka Next
winter the tourist will go to Sanford
from Jacksonville in four or five hours.
and ultimately he will have the option of
visiting the Gulf coast or seeing the
tropic vegetation and wild ocean scenery
of the eastern route.

CITY NOTES.

Captain Reid is putting down a new
crossing in front of his store. The crowds
of his customers will soon wear the new
one out.
Warren, Thayer & Co. are printing
full assortment of legal blanks, which
they will furnish to those in need Of them
at reasonable rates. See notice.
The immense rattlesnake brought
down by the Mary Draper on Friday has
been purchased by Captain Cranmer, of
the Isaac L. Clark, and he viii take it
home with him.
It has been calculated that a mile of
turnpike could be made leading out from
PaIatka for $4,000. This would soon be
repaid in tolls and improvement on prop
erty. Excellent stone could be brought
by schooner for fifty cents per thousand
pounds.
Magistrates throughout the country
should be careful how they word their
sentences. If a criminal is condemned
to twenty days imprisonment and ten
dollars fine" he may never be able to pay
the fine, and practically he is sentenced
to lifelong confinement. Judge Daw-
kins in such a case ordered a prisoner re-
| leased, but acknowledged himself that
| his action was in cOntraventiOn Of the
letter Of the law. There is no authority
to alter such a decree, and the Sheriff
dare not release a man so sentenced until
the whole is paid. The sentence should
always read, $50 much fine or 50 many
days in the county jail. And in all cases
the sectence should be also for the costs.
The republicans of this precinct met
Yesterday in primary and elected dele
gates to the county convention. 1t is
probable that Arthur will be the choice
of the Florida delegation when it gets to
Chicago, but of course its ultimate vote
depends on developments" 1t is I'M
derstood that the party will make no
nomination for governor in this state, but
will support an Independent nominee,
and make a desperate effort to send Bis
bee again to congress from this district.
But no trading or lodging can effect
this. The people have measured him at
last, and his opponent will give him the
political humiliation he has deserved SC
long.
