A letter received from Capt. T. H.

Ellis. Capt. Fitzgerald is now In Apa-
lachicola getting barges and tug, and
everything that is necessary TO raise her.
l am now ON my way to cambridge to
charter the Bertha Lee for a few days to
keep her alongside of the Ellis to supply
steam for pumps, etc. The officers all
stood to their posts well. She struck a
snag that they say was a new one,
about $50 feet from the west bank, and
does not show any sign Of break
to me. The boat was under full Roadway,
and struck the snag on the port side,
abreast OF the cOok-house, and they run
her out on the point on the east bank. She
sunk In about three minutes. She sunk
in about 90 feet from the east bank. Her
bow on starboard side lays in three feet
water; port side about one foot under
water. Her stern on starbOard side lays
in six feet water, and port side in IL "A

over three feet deep, and they waded out
The engineer, Long. stayed at his throttle
until he had TO swim out. and by this
means he drove her up on the point. She
sunk Tuesday night about 1918 O'Clock.
Capt. Moore says there was no insur-
ance on the Ellis against sinking. She
had on a large cargo, being loaded almost
down TO her guards. The only freight
saved was 1874 cases of oysters, 80 boxes
of oranges and 81 bundles of shingles. The
first boat 10 arrive at the scene was the
Naiad on her down trip. She took most
Of the passengers back to Apalachicola.
The Amos Hays also rendered assistance,
for which the Peoples line feel thankful.
1t is gratifying to know that the Ellis will
be raised, and that the loss Will not be so
heavy as at first expected.

THE JUDGES JUG.
Nearly 5000 Worth of Imported Wines

From the Atlanta tGa.l Capitol.
Rumorreached a Capitol reporter chat
Judge Lochrane had carried out his threat
and vindicated his consistency in taking
such an earnest part in the recent prohi-
bition campaign. The reporter saw his
Honor on the street and asked him about
the matter.
The Judge was very reticent about
talking, but smiled at the initiatory ques-
ton put by the reporter, as follows:

have no Jug in my house, and acted &C
cOrdingly. But don't think it necessary
for you to say anything about it in your

my self and my principles"
The reporter afterward saw DIR. Haw-
thorne, who remarked that it was one of
the most impressive scenes he had ever
witnessed, to see the judge, whose house
had always been noted for it's convivial
hospitality, pouring out this lifelong So
called necessity, and burning the bridges
behind him to all of that sort of entertain
ment for his friends. "There was in ALL"
said DR.. Hawthorne, "some 5000 worth of
the finest imported wines and brandies.
The judge simply did it out of conscien-
Jious notions, and although he hesitated
to provoke any more comment, or gain
any more prohibition prominence. think
the people of Atlanta ought to know that
he meant what he said in his earnest and
eloquent speeches, and that he is a man
to practice what he breaches. The act
was done in pure simplicity, and know
that Judge Lochran9 meant that should
be all there was Of 1t. But it is not only
| just to the judge, but due to the cause,
that the public should know it.

shad in the St. Johns.


DR.. Fl. H. Carey, the well-known Geor-
gia fish commissioner, is in the city. His
visit to Florida this winter is under the
auspices of the United States Fish Com
mission, and is for the purpose of study
ing the habits of the shad. with a view of
establishing an artificial hatchery at Pa
latka. The doctor is a most interesting
talker on his favorite theme, and knows
more of fish and their habits than perhaps
any man in the South. He states that by
the artificial process about 9S per
cent. of the fish are Matched out,
while by the natural process, owing to
the depredatiOns of other fish, hardly >
per cent. of the eggs are Matched. The
fish industry of the st. Johns river, in
which can be caught the finest shad in the
world. is yearly growing in Importance,
and by the use of artificial means the
river can be yearly stocked with 100000
900 young shad, thus insuring an mex
haustible supply. Last winter there
were shipped from Palatka about $4,000
shad, caught in the river at our doors,
which gave employment to large num-
Der OF men, and brought considerable
revenue to the city. DIR. Carey will be
here several days, and will closely watch
the fishing operations and the fish caught
while he is in town.

Two Grim old War ReIics.

From The Warrington tGG.) Gdsette.
There are displayed in the show win

grim-lOoking old shells that were shot at
our old Irwin artillery from a rifled can
non by the Yankees in Virginia during the
''late unpleasantness." The rising gen.
GRAFTON stare in wonder at these old,
rusty, unRalnly looking pieces of iron,
but the soldiers hearts are tenderly
touched by the memories Of the olden
days. when, with buoyant hopes, they fol-
lowed Robert Il. Lee against the hordes Of
the North-the days when the shrieking
shells had no terrors for the defenders OF
our hearths and homes. But the ami
mosities that brought forth the scenes OF
those days are gone forever from the
hearts Of the soldiers if not from the
politicians; and now the old soldiers OF
the South grasp as warmly the hand OF
one brave soldier who fought in the war
as Of another, never thinking of which
side of the line he was on.
These two old shells were sent 10 Corpl.

Many are the incidents told by citizens
OF the old Ninth illustrating the remark
able genius of Judge Emory Speer as an
orator and stump speaker. An eye-wit-
ness and former citizen of Gainesville
gives US one: The Republicans were hold
ing big meeting in Gainesville one night
during one of Speer's memorable cam
paigns. Several of their distinguished
speakers were present, and the Demo-
Gratis concluded to get in a voice.
Speer was asked to reply, and readily
agreed. But the Republicans were
made aware Of the plan, and prolonged
their meeting to very late hour. They
finally adjourned and Immediately began
filing out at the door. Speer, in waiting,
sprang upon the rostrum, and, assuming
his most eloquent attitude-such as he
alone can-with finger pointing toward
their retreating forms, said in his most
dramatic style: ''And they shall 90 out
into outer darkness where there shall be
waIling and gnashing of teeth" The
effect was electric. The Democrats arose
and yelled, the Republicans fed from the
scene confused and disordered.

possesses two music drawers. IL is made
of rosewood, and inlaid with brass, es-
pecially the corners. 1t is 81 octaves,
but the ivory on the keys has all

supposed, of making ivory orna-

possessor, bought the instrument from
Mr.. Ignacio Lopez, an old and much re-

for the same beng about $50. Mr.. Brown
estimates the age of the piano to be about
$50 years. Mr.. Lopez purchased the in
strument over thirty years ago, aud it has
laid up in a garnet some twenty-five years.
Mr.. Brown proposes to send his purchase
