Fiahtina Anarchists,

ST. LOUIS, May l6.-The anarchists Of
North st. Louis held meeting this after
noon at the North st. Louis Turner Hall
tocollect a fund for the wounded Anarch-
lists in Chicago and Milwaukee, and had an
extremely lively meeting. One of the
principle speakers was Carl Bergmann, a
schoolInate of X anheifer, one of the An
archists executed in Germany about n
year ago. He made a very violent
speech, declaring that Mccormick
was responsible for the slaughter of
the brethren in Chicago. They were
first attacked by the police, and he did not
blame them for bringing field artillery TO
the Haymarket meeting and using it when
attacked. While Bergmann was speaking
he was interrupted by the entrance OF
Joseph Reifgarber, editor of the Anarchist
organ, Die Parole, who was expelled from
the society last week for refusing to publish
resolutions adopted by the Anarchists
after the Chicago trouble. As soon as
Bergman saw Reifgarber he rushed at
him and knocked him down, dislocating
four of his teeth. Two or three OF Reif-
graber's friends rushed at Bergman, and
several of the latter's friends at once took
hand in the melee Reifgraber was pick
ed up and thrown down Stairs No one
else was hurt, but the confusion lasted for
some time. Copies of Herr Most's book
were distributed, and about $500 were col
lected for the suffering Anarchists.

DARIEN, GA, Feb 12-The supply of tim

the up-country with the Impression that
in these dull times timber cutting is as
profitable an occupation as they could en-
gage in.
LISA feature worthy of notice that
among the owners OF timber flOated down
to Darien a large number are colored men.
This fact confirms The theory that certain
occupations tend to make even TINS pro
verbally thriitless race become aware Oh
the advantages following in the footsteps
of an accumulation OF worldly goods.
There are on the Altamaha river many
colored men of this description who per
sonally conduct extensive and prontable
timber cutting businesses, and who dis
play a surprising degree OF skill and
shreWdness both as to manufacture ana
selling to advantage.

doing some good and remunerative work

that in neither case does the strandlng re-

hood came TO her sorrowing mind again
they did their best to soothe her. They
gently insisted that she should not rise.
They tried TO call her thoughts elsewhere.
and they admitted to her only the most
intimate friends who called upon her.
Mrs. Col. William Ludlow was one OF
these. She, with her husband, who was

Hancock bore up well. The strength of
her character sustained her in her grief

FLORIDAs ORANGE TREES.
The Press Association Passes Explana-
tory Resolutions.

The Press Association Passes Explana-
tory Resolutions.
GAINESVILLE, FLA, Feb. 12.-At the
annual meeting Of the State Press AssO-
citation yesterday the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted.
The Florida Press Association assem-
bled IN regular annual meeting, having
had their attention drawn to numerous
published eXaggeratiOns and misrepre-
sensations of the extent of the damage
done in Florida by the recent unprece-
dented cold weather, and knowing that
thousands of persons are looking forward
to settlement in this State we are dis
turbed by these unfounded statements
and deem it proper TO make a
true and candid statement of
the facts as they exist without
coloring and without partiality. 1t is
therefore
ResolUed, That we, the members OF
the Florida Press Association, coming
from all parts of the State, and therefore
fully cOgnizant OF the real condition Of
the orange groves as now shown at the
end Of 30 days from the time of the freeze,
state the following as the true facts in
reference thereto:
1. That in consequence of the exceeding
low temperature the larger part of the
fruit remaining on the trees was frozen.
.. That bearing trees, and trees
which were In healthy condition, received
no injury. although losing their leaves,
and are already budding with the promise
Of fair crop for the present year.
3. That while the trees In the more
northerly counties are not as advanced in
budding out, 1t is believed that in no pOr-
ton Of the orange growing region of
Florida have the trees received any ma
terial damage.
4. That 1t has been demonstrated that
orange trees can sustain much lower
degree Of cold than has been heretofore
supposed, giving renewed assurance of
the safety and durability of the orange
growing interests of the State.
