A man named Penaker was killed at
Yalaha last week by one Gold. The
killing was the result of an old feud be-
tween the two men, but the shooting
seems to be regarded as unjustitiable.
The shot was fred from a'pistol, the
bullet entering the victims abdomen,
penetrating the bladder and almost
severlng the bowels In several places, as
was shown by post-mortem eXamina-
ton. He survived, however, until We'd

under $500 bond.
Mayor McGiffln, of Fernandina, has
heard from State Comptroller Barnes
concerning the railway and telegraph
companies assessment proportions. The
necessary diagrams of the city, and
statement of the case, were forwarded,
and the reply was that the Florida Rail-
way and Navigation Company has .76
miles Of main track and 1.21 of side
tracks inside the city limits; the Fernan-
dina and Amelia Beach Railway has SO
OF main track, and the Western Union
Telegraph Company .38 miles of telegraph
line in the city. The attempt will be
made to compel these companies to pay
their just proportions toward carrying on
the city government.
The British steamer Ayrshire, Capt.
Stewart, from New Orleans bound to Ant
werp, loaded with grain, oil cake and a
little lumber, took heavy gale off Tortu-
gas the night of Aug. is. Her sails were
blown away, her engine rooms and coal
bunkers were at once flooded with water
and the fires put out. the seas dashing en-
tirely over her. She drIlted up as far as
American shoals, where she anchored,
first losing both bow anchors, but finally
managing to hold on with steel hawser
and kedge anchor, where she was picked
up by the steamer Comal, Capt. Bolger, and
towed down to Tennessee reef, where she
parted nawser and was taken In tow by
the revenue steamer Dix, Capt. Fengar,
just in time to keep her off the reef, and
towed into Key West, where she will re-

ROBBING THE TILL.
A Clerk in a Clothing Store Caught
in a Trap and Sent to Jail.

III W -
From tie 4 wgusta Gd.l Eoenina Ns,os, Aug. s4
Readers OF the Evening News will re-
member the loss of $500 mysteriously sus-
tanned by Mr.. Fl. Brooks, the clothing
merchant, on July "a. 1t was found that
morning that the money had been taken
from the safe, which was left open the
night previous.
Several parties have since been arrested
on suspicion, but not until to-day has
clue been caught which promised any re-
suits. MIR. Brooks is now at the North,
but bis manager, Mr.. Pope, and Lieut..
Hood this morning set little trap and
caught regular rat. For some time
money has been missed from the cash
drawer, and suspicious as to who was the
"nipper'' were lodged at police head
quarters. And so Lieut.. Hood, who Is
one OF the shrewdest detectives in the
country, set his little trap.
Lieut.. Hood secured the services of
clever colored man, who shall be name
less, and this morning sent HIM to Brooks
store with a couple OF 81 notes and 81 in
silver, which had been previously marked
in the presence of Manager Pope, with
instructions to purchase exactly 80
worth Of goods. Pope was acquainted
with the mans disguise, and when the
ing he made it convenient to step out for
awhile, leaving the clerk alone in the
store with the supposed countryman.
The purchases were made and the bllls
and silver piece paid, and the clerk was
LETT thus alone for a few minutes, when
Mr.. Pope returned. The negro took the
precaution. OF course, to get recent for
the So from the clerk himself. Mr.. Pope
went to the cash drawer and found the
silver dollar, but only one of the " bills.
This shortage confirmed his suspicious,
and he Immediately called in convenient
| policeman, who marched the surprised
and entrapped clerk to the barracks.
| There he was searched, and the missing
bill was found on his person and identified
by both Lieut.. Hood and Mr.. Pope. He
| is now In custody awaiting further in
vestigatt0n.
1t is believed by those in charge that
this clerk is the man who distracted the
! $3.50 from the safe in July. but as yet evil
dence is lacking. 1t is only known that
this safe was robbed and that money has
since been missed from the cash drawer,
and also that the clerk dropped into the
trap on the first trial of the trigger to-day.
The young man was carried before JUS
| tice Milo Olin and placed subject to bail
until preliminary investigation is had
on Sept. 2 1t has been suggested that
the case may he compromised and may
not be prosecuted, as no positive proof of
the robbery stands against the young
man, and until the matter is brought into
court we today withhold the name of the
unfortunate youth at the request of his
attorney.

Dallas Hill, cofered. man living about
lnree mules from Norwood, before retiring
tuesday night made a fat meat poultice,
which he applied to a, rising on his per-
son. He retired with Sunwashed hands,
and, in the dead hour of midnight, while
Dallas was enjoying the soothing effects
OF the poultice-so soothing that it had
caused deep sleep to fall upon him-a
rat OF unusual size ventured out. Being
attracted by the smell of the poultioe, he
made his way towards Dallas. His hands
were the first things reached, and the rat,
thinking this was the thing sought, went
TO work and gnawed the negroes fingers
and lacerated his hands in a frightful
manner. He satiated his hunger and re-
tired to his place Of deposit without ever
awaking the negro. He awoke next
morning to find his hand and fingers
In bad fix.
At Sandersville Saturday night about
O'Clock as Ben Gilmore was returning
nom DR.. A. Mathis he heard great
commotion IN the yard of Mrs. Susan A.
Smith, and was accosted by that lady,
who said that burly negro man had as
saulted negro woman at the gate and
demanded what money she had. Mr..
Gilmore went over into the yard, and. with
a lamp, made a thorough though fruitless
search for the miscreant. Failing to dis
cover any trace or him, ne then proceeded
up town, and upon reaching the Christian
church corner, much to his surprise, a
strong hand grasped his throat
In tight embrace and he was
forced back against the church
fence by a muscular negro, when
struggled ensued, with the odds greatly
to the negroes advantage, and the negro
forced his victim, as he thought, to the
ground. Mr.. Gilmore had no weapon on
his person except a small knife, but he
piled this so valiantly as to put the negro
to flight. In the morning it was ascer-
tanned that several similar attempts were
made upon other boys IN other parts OF
the town.

Just this side of the old home of "Little
Joe Elder we passed beneath large
dead oak with an outstretched limb
reaching across the road. This was the
scene of an amusing incident of long
ago. An old man named Meriwether
imagined that he would have a call TO
preach and increasingly prayed for the
summons. A wag in the neighborhood
named McRee one evening, where he
knew the old man would pass, crawled
out on this limb and concealed himself
among the dense foliage. just as Mr..

out three times: "Meriwether, go preach

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Confidence Regaining Its Hold with Pros
poets of Settlement of the Labor Troubles.

INDIANAPOLIS April /.
The prospective settlement of the strikes on
the Western roads causes more confident feel
ing in commercial circles, but, owing to the
stormy weather of the last few days, the volume
of business has been light There is a better
demand for hog products, but prices are not
high enough to induce holders to sell freely.
Produce is moving out fairly well. Eggs are
weak at quotations. Fine butter in good de-
mand. The poultry market is again overstocked,
and prices are ofish. In groceries there is no
change calling for mention. The -four market
continues dull and depressed The Boston Jour
nal says that last week was the dullest record.
"Choce patents the most depressed the
supply is more abundant than the lower grades,
which are wanted for export, particularly
strong bakers brands. The frmer tone
of the wheat market near the close Of the
week has somewhat improved the tone of the
market for our, but it is still, nevertheless dis
appointing and unsatisfactory. The farmers are
selling wheat at a price that does not pay to
raise 1t, the millers recently have been selling
flour in all the principal markets at price that
does not pay cost, and dealers and commission
houses have been obliged to handle the article
on very small margin. Since the lst of last
September our exports of flour show a falling off
of about 200, 900 barrels as compared with last
year. and this falling off must have seriously
affected the business of our Western mills. The
home consumption has been large at the low
prices current, but the production of high grades
has so largely exceeded the wants of consumers
the market has been overstockea at ali times
and prices have ruled low. The high grades an.
pear to find very little outlet abroad, nossxsth-
standing their superior quality and low prices,
and it is very easy matter for the mills of the
country to overstock the market at any time
with this description. 1t is evident that too
much flour has been produced. The mills have
at times threatened to suspend operations, but
the production has at all times exceeded the de-
mand 1t looks now as if we had touched bot
tom prices. but there is no indication of any pos
tive improvement.
