Thomas Thornton, a painter, was badly in
jured yesterday while working at the Stewart
Place Hotel. He was fixing glass in tho sky
light, and the scaffolding which supported him
suddenly gave way, causing Thornton
to fall distance of about twenty
He was rendered unconscious by the

pieces of timber which fell upon him. No bones
were broken, fortunately, but it is feared that
internal injuries have been received. He was
taken to his home at No. 256 North Mississippi
street, where DR.. Wehrner attended him. It is
feared that conclusion of the brain will result
from the injuries. He is an unmarried man,

THE LIQUOR LEAGUES SCHEME.
No Decision by the State officers on the Nor.
rlson Investigation.

ere has been no final action yet by the State
officers on the charges against Police Commis
sioner Morrison, and there has been no time
fixed for meeting to render decision
on the investigation. 1t is sup
posed that they are refraining from
proceeding further, in expectation that Mr.
Morrison will voluntarily resign, and thus re-
lieve them from the responsibility of deposing
him. The friends of .he commissioner, how
ever, think that inasmuch as he has declared
that he was guilty Of no violation
of law, although frankly admitting the
accusations regarding his being with the
serenading party, it is not consistent to expect
him to resign. Although admitting the charges,
he denies that he has been guilty of an offense
and, therefore, it is believed that it would be
highly improper for him to resign before the
State officers decide that, in their judgment, he
has violated the law and should withdraw
from the board It is intimated that
the State Board is not unanimous on the propo-
sition to depose the com missioner, but there is
hardly any doubt that they will remove if forced
to take action on the matter, but it is believed
by Mr.. Morrisons friends that he can better
afford to allow them to demand his resignation
than to voluntarily tender it.
1t is stated that John E. Sullivan will be
chosen to succeed Commissioner Cottrell, and
when questioned about the matter yesterday.
Mr.. Sullivan admitted that he had been con-
suited regarding the position, and said that
if it was offered him he would accept
it. The only Republican who has been generally
spoken of as Mr.. Morrisons successor is Council
man njamin, who is regarded as liberal in his
sentiments concerning the enforcement of the
liquor laws, which is strong recommendation to
the State board.

YOUTHFUL THRACCO-CHEWERS.
A. Southside Residents Observations cf the
Street Arabs of the Region.

More than half of the boys Of the Southside
over six years old, and some under, chew to-
bacco. An ordinary observer, however acute,
might never discover this feature of street
Arab life; but if he is once known to set in one
neighborhood to be a tobacco-chewer, the news
will spread as fast as high-toned London scan
dal, and then he will soon find out that no habit
is so general, next to eating and swearing. -Four
boys in five will swear with profusion Of pro-
family and an affiuence of blackguardsm hardly
equaled among the most experienced cowboys,
and, of the swearers at least half will
chew tobacco. They all loaf about
alley crossings, and on piles of old
lumber at night. play cards in the dog-fenuel in
day time, plunder fruit trees and grape vines
steal pigeons and chickens, and rob the show
stands of corner groceries. These last, however,
are traits of the Arabs of all cities and sections
Chewing tobacco is a distinctive feature of the
tribe in the South Side of this city. At least a
resident of that region, for many year before
it got that name, or the less poetical 'HelPs
Half Acre." says he knows of no community in
the United States where chewing is common
or so little noted. If drinking were half as COM
mon, the station house would show an army of
little criminals from six to sixteen every
morning. But beer costs money and
tob acco usually does not. Cigar stumps and

begged from good natured fellow whom they
happen to know. That is the way the old resi-
dent made his discovery. The boys somehow
found out that he was a chewer, and begged of
him. Giving to one in five that begged made
i've new beggars for everyone refused. Now he
never passes any street between Meridian and
the river, south of the Union tracks, that
he is not assailed by dozen requests from lit
tie boys for "a chew" or "a little tObacker." The
requests are usually respectful. The street
Arabs know as we'll as the Office seekers that
favors are not to be got by impudence. Some
times they are pert and saucy Sometimes
they are very funny. ''The other day." said the
old RESIDENT "a boy of eight years, judge,
asked me for little tobacco. l told him | had
none. Oh, said he, L wish I had a little l
want to cure my earache' This is fact. I
have heard of the youthful enthusiast who con-
tended that smoking was good for corns, but
this new curative property astonshed me-" The
tobacco chewers excuse, though, are not funnier
than the drinkers

Want Their PrOperty.

Vincent D. Urso and Genaro Marsinico have
filed complaint against j. NJ. Kinney and the T.
H. & l. railroad, declaring that they are owners
and entitled to the possession Of two horses and
two express wagons, which have not been taken
for any tax assessment fine pursuant to stat
ute, or seized under execution or attachment
against their property. The said property they
claim, has been wrongfully and unlawfully de-
tanned by the defendants. The plaintiffs pray
for a Judgment for the delivery of the property,

between Leesburg and Pemberton Ferry

between Leesburg and Pemberton Ferry
is progressing finely. About one mile j:
laid each day; that there only remains
sixteen miles to finish; also, that the
party surveying between the Ferry and
this place had completed three lines and
was now working on the fourth; that il
the company decided to extend their line
to this place, he could grade and lay the
iron in ninety days. The route which be
thinks is the most practicable comes into
town at the foot of the hill near Virgins
blacksmith shop. Mr.. Saxon has donat-
ed land sufficient for depot purposes ut
that point. Parties who have been on
the different routes surveyed report the
one coming in on the south side Of town
looks more like business than the others,
as the surveyors cut down the largest
trees, and that the line of survey looks as
if they had cut the right-of-way through.
Mr.. E. r. Farrar has kind of curiosi-
ty shop at his store, on tho corner of
Lemon and Second streets. He deals in
furniture, harness, wagons, carts and
buggies, mattresses, mouldirgs, and a
lot of other things too numerous to men,
ton. He is offering special bargains in
harness, as he is anxious to sell all of
these goods he has on hand.
There is hardlya day passes but some
new enterprise is projected or talked of
for Palatka, and yesterday NEWS re-
porter was informed that negotiation were
on foot for n telephone line between Pa
latka and Jacksonville, to be run in con-
nection with the proposed telephone ex-
change. There is no doubt but it would
prove paying investment, as telegraph
rates are so high as to almost to amount
to prohibition.
The hotel registers show that Palatka
is receiving fair proportion of the visi-
tors to the state this season. There are
hundreds of visitors in private boarding
houses besides the large number stopping
at the hotels, and still there is plenty of
room for all who may wish to visit the
Gem City. And, indeed, tour of Flor
ida would be anything but complete

most rapidly growing city in the state.
