Wallin. The Phillips was wrecked about
800 miles from Pensacola. bound for Mo
bile from Porto Rico. She was owned by
Turner & Oates OF that city. No lives
were lost. The vessel was in ballast.
The directory of the Citizens HotelCom-
pauy of Pensacola, at meeting Monday,
ordered the issue of from $35, 600 to $40. 600
of per cent. preferred stock as a measure
OF relief from Indebtedness. The greater
part of this was at once taken by some OF
the stockholders. This will secure the
payment of all the Indebtedness of the
company and place it on good solid foot

Some interesting discoveries have been
made in Florida by Prof. Johnson, of the
United States geological survey. Just
south OF the Alachua county line he found
several specimens and skeletons Of ami
mails which relatively belong to not far
distant period. In piles, and sometimes
mixed, there were the remains of n mas
todon, TWO or three specimens Of the rhi-
noceros, a large stag, a camel, fully as
large as the Arabian camel, but i'm struc-
ture more allied to the llama: also tapir,
very much like the South American tapir,
which lives in swampy places; two teeth
of some carnivOrous animal allied to the
tiger and panther; one set of teeth and
bones of hippOpOtamuS; several croco-
dies or aliigators, and innumerable bones
not ideatihed. Apparently the territory
south of Alachua was at one time large
fresh water lake.

Nine years ago George Sharpe fed from
atlanta and created big sensation. His
career ia Atlanta and the manner Of his
departure was brought up in case in
Fulton Superior Court Wednesday. 1t
was the suit of the Bank of the State of
Georgia against j. w. English and #. M.
Cocker. When Sharpe was borrowing
money on the diamonds and iewelry Of his
magnificent establishment, he had some
negotiations with the Bank Of the State of
Georgia. One of his transactions secured
the loan OF s., coo on about $4,000 worth of
diamonds, which were deposited in the
vaults of the bank. At that time Mr..
Co&er was President of the bank, as he
is still, and Mr.. English was Vice Presi-
dent. Sharpe would 90 around occasion
ally and get the diamonds to exhibit to
customers who desired to purchase
such jewels. One day he came
and said he had trade for the entire
lot in Augusta, and wanted TO take
them down there that night. On this
showing the diamonds were returned to
Sharpe, who was emphatic in the declara-
ton that he would return in day or two
with the money and discharge his obliga-
ton to the bank. Sharpe's palatial dia-
mOnd aud j6welry store onW hitehall street
seemed ample security for his return.
The morning after he took the diamonds
he was missing, and never since has his
face been seen in Atlanta. 1t became a
question as to who should sustain the loss
he had caused the Bank of the State of
Georgia, and thus arose the pending suit.
Mr.. English is no longer connected with
the bank, and the suit is really one of Co
6er against English, Coker being willing
10 stand one half the loss if English will
pay the other half. The amount has been
increased by the accumulation of nine
years interest to nearly $4,000. Mr..
Coker claims that his confidence in Sharpe
was inspired by the recommendations of
Mr. English that he was trustworthy.
The case was given to the jury at , O'Clock,
and at 3:15 they returned "A sealed verdict.

The executive committee of the
civil service reform league have adj
dressed a letter to president-elect
Cleveland, commencing to his care
the legislation in the interest of
civil service reform. In his reply
Mr.. Cleveland reiterates his adher-
ence to practical reform in the civil
service, and his tone is strong and
manly, and would not indicate that
he is over awed by the immensely
of the task before him. In con-
Guiding he reminds his party friends
"that though the coming admins
" tration is to be democratic, a due
regard for the people will not per-
