and the probability is that it will be disbanded
within week. meeting is to be held in this
city to morrow, at which the feasibility of going
OF through the season with the few Western
League clubs will be considered but
the probabilities are all against this. In the
event of the disbandment Of the league the In

their players, and tempting offers will immedi-
ately be made to many of them McKeon and
Keenan, already have offers from Chicago, st.
Louis and Cincinnati. All the players asse TT
that they will not desert the club, even if the
league dsbands, if the directors choose to play

which George w. Calvin, of this city, appeared
as the attorney of Isaac Dunn, guardian of his
daughter Margaret t., furnishes cause of suit
against the attorney. In his complaint filed

A Forgotten Tract of Land.

A tract of seventy-fve acres of land, which
has been lost for more than fifty years, has just
been found by the State officers. A few days
ago letter was received from Fulton county,
asking upon what terms certain tract of land
there could be bought. The State officers knew
nothing about the matter, but instituted an
Investigation of the land records, and found,
after making careful research, that the land
about which the inquiry was made came into the
possession of the State by the foreclosure of a
mortgage to secure loan from what was then
the indianapolis fund" 1t was afterwards
lost sight of entirely and in the meantime it has
become quite valuable.

And when the smoke-stacks, guys, rods,

had quit showering down, the tramp re-

FIorida's Orange Crop.
Wildwood Orange Leaf.

Wildwood Orange Leaf.
The day is not many years off when
there will be no waste in the orange
crop; when all dropped, creased and I'M
marketable oranges will be distilled into
the finest liquors that ever tickled the
throat of bon vivant, and shipped and
sold at high price to those same French
men who now send us their champagne
washings to drink. Fermented orange
juice with carbonic acid gas and little
flavoring syrup is destined to be the tenn
perance drink of the world. There is
neither malaria nor monkeys in it.
Orange shippers around Wildwood,
have thus far received pretty good re-
turns, the average being over $1.50 per
box. Some shippers have netted over 50,
none under 81 per box. Oranges are
now selling at 40c., soc. and Coo. hun
dred, according to quality. Buyers who
have been paying 81 per box at the trees,
say there is no money in them at that
price.
