jacksonville Tines onion: Through the
kindness of Capt. 4. NJ. Ives we are enabled
10 give this morning a statement Of the num-
bcr OF boxes Of oranges ship, ed through this
city over the WaYcrOss Railroad the present
season as compared with the shipment Of last
season. The following shows the number of
boxes shipped: September, lSSl, 2,601, lSS5,
ZA2S: October. 1884, l2,Sl5. 1855. 6, ,l16; NOvem-
her. lS4, 63. lS6, lSS5, 81. 252: December. 1854.
74gS 1885. IO3 80; January. 1854. :. go, 1855.
3 446; February, 1854, 55.445, lSS5, 20 l5S; to-
tai. lSSi, 2S1,2j3, 1855, 340,zOO; increase the
present season, 52931. On an average it
would be safe to estimate that each OF the
$4,000 boxes contained l5J oranges or
more. which would foot up in round
numbers 81 l000.OO0 oranges shipped
through the city on the WaycrOss Railroad
alone. The above figures do not represent the
oranges shipped through here over the FlOrl-
da Central and Western Railroad or the Fer
uantina and Jacksonville Road; neither does
IL include the thousands OF boxes shipped by
d even over the W ANGEuEs h0dil OF lLo.t
shipped via the Charleston and Florida steam
shin Line and the shipments by these lines
were unusally heavy. The above figures have
nothing TO do with the immense quantities OF
fruit shipped out OF the state from the Orange
lake and other lake regions. and from along
the lines Of the Transit and Peninsular Roads
to Callahan and thence north of the WaycrOss
Road OF OF the oranges shipped via Gaines
Vile and Live Oak over the Florida southern
and Savannah, Florida and Western Roads,
hut simply the oranges passing through and
handled IN the WaycrOss warehouses IN TINS
city.
Referring to the alleged dynamite outrage
in Napatee county, an account Of which has
already appeared in the NEWS, the GUJ Coast
F,r0greSs. OF BraidentOwn. has the fOilowlBg:
There are one or two unlmpOrtant mistakes
in the repOrIs, and these we will point out.
There may have been, and probably was, a
number OF persons IN BraluentOWn on that

Mr. Campbell was not there, for the simple
reason that there is no sucn man here. NeI-
ther did be receive rOtIce 10 leave Wlthln 1Our
hours, his house was not blown TO pieces, nor
did he die. As To Mr.. pham, no enc was
more surprised than himself 10 near that nc

cepting these few errors. the account as lar az az
We know is perfectly correct We have pald
but little attention TO the anair- put, as sucn
garbied accounts have gone f0rth, We Will

words TO that eject. They were not turned
loose, and Mr.. Carpenter failed to become the
hero he lOnged to be. A month passed, when
one day this hre-eating gentleman appeared
in Manatee with a notice which, he said. ne

siresdr publlshed. In blood curdllng Ian

son and Geo. higgins leave the country. He
stqvad in Manatee two or three days, and
fban with singular recklessness went back to
his lonely cabin on Braiden creek. The next
