Hon Chas. Dougherty in the City.
Hon. Chas. Dougherty and party ar
rived in the city, via the Florida Southern
railway, at D o'clock, yester iay after
noon, when they were met at the depot
by the committee appointed by the
Dougherty Club and a number of our
citizens, and, led by the colored brass
Hotel, where quarters had been prepared
for them.
large number of cur citizens called
at the hotel to give cheering word to
our Congressman, and inquire as to how
affairs are progressing in the campaign.
MIR. Dougherty informed NEWS man
that all his meetings this year, with
three exceptions, were from twenty five
to fifty per cent. larger than two years
ago, and, so far as he could judge, as
large or larger a vote would be poIled for
him this year than was poIled two years
ago. He has met with the most enthusi-
astic reception wherever he has been,
and the disaffection in the district is
nothing like it has been reported.
The speaking will begin at the Opera
HOUSE this morning at II o'clock, when
Mr. Dougherty, Mr.. Davis and Hon. P.
p. Bishop, and probably others will make
addresses. A large crowd is expected
from the country, and quite number of
ladies have declared their intention of
being present, go that the speaking here
promises to be all that was hoped for.
lt has been suggested that the mer.
chants close their places of business for
an hour or two, that all will have an
opportunity of hearing the speakers, but
we have not learned whether this will be
dore or not. There will also be speaking
at the Opera House tonight, W hich the
public is also invited to attend.
Let there be rouslng turn out.

The Palatka correspondent of the Jack
sonville Herald, under date of October
9th, gets facts rather promiscuously
mixed up in regard to the Purcell broth
ers, well known cUlored men of this
| city. The correspondent states that J.
! II. Purcell, a contractor, had II ade over
all his property to his brother and skip
| ped, leaving his creditors in the lurch. he
also stated that J. II. Purcell was a mem
! Der of our city council and prominent
| politician, when such is not the fact, as
| it is j. l.. Purcell, his brother, who is an
ton in the Republican convention for
the legislature. A News reporter in
quired of Alderman Purcell as to the
facts, when he stated that his brother
was in Chattanooga, Tenn, sick, that he
had left no one in the lurch, and while
he had lost money during the summer,
every dollar he owed would be paid.
Alderman Purcell will reply to The cor
respondent through the Jacksonville
| Herald, and set himself and brother
right before the people, as he says there
is no foundation for the reports printed.
We know nothing Of the facts in the
case, except the statement made by the
Alderman in regard to his brother j. H..
! Purcell.

Florida Southern Railway.
A passenger on the train furnishes US
with the information that Engineer J.
II. Dumas, with Conductor I. w. Fisher,
Of the Florida Southern Railway, left
Palstka on train No. 3 on the evening of
October 9Th at $40 p. M, instead of . p.
M, or ono hour and forty minutes
late. We met passenger train at In
terlachen, on which we had to wait ten
minutes stopped at Welshton twenty
minutes for supper made thirty-three
stops on the route for passengers to get
on and off, and arrived at Leesburg at
1:35 p. m, which was ten minutes late
OF No. IS schedule, thus making up one
hour and thirty minutes, making the run,
distance of one hundred and five miles,
in three hours and fifty-ive minutes.
Deducting the ten minutes delay at In
terlachen and the twenty minutes stop
at Welshton for supper, reduces the &C
tual running time of this train to three
hours and twenty-five minutes, which
includes tie time lost by the thirty three
stops.
How is this for a narrow gauge road
Can the standard men down this for fast
time: When the number of stops in the
short distance is considered, the time
made by this train certainly speaks well
for tho condition of the road bed, tho
condition of the rolling stock, and the
efficiency of the train men of the Florida
Southern.

Lynch Law in Gadsden County

Last Sunday morning, the body of Mr..
Frank harris, son of DR.. w. d. Harris,
of this county, and Mr.. Buckley, his
miller, were found hanging to a tree
near his home in Gadsden county. Who
constituted the mob that perpetrated
this lawless deed, and what were the
grounds for it, are yet matters of specu-
lation only. Some cay that he and his
miller were strongly suspected Of burn
ing Towards mill. The burning of a
competitors mill is a diabolical act and
deserves the severest punishment, but 1t
does not justify lynch law. The muir
derers of these two men can be detected
if the proper effort is made, and they
should be made to suffer the penalty Of
the law. Let the majesty of the law
prevail IdiidhdsSedn.

Sleeping IN the upper r,errn.

An experienced traveller says that in a
sleeping car the upper berth is cooler in sum-
mer. because there is more air stirring in the
top of the car, anG warmer in winter than
the lower berth. because the warm air rises
and there are not so many draughts. He
might have added, The New York Sun
thinks, another Recommendation. If the
berth breaks down you fall on top of the

Davenport's Jealousy

The following item appeared in the
Gdzette OF last Thursday which has refer
ence to our spirited clothiers, Mosen,
fielder 81 Kohn:
a prominent merchant of another city
was in Davenport yesterday to solicit
orders. The police picked him up on the
charge of pedGling without a license aud
Justice Kramer fined him He had not
enough ready money with him and offered
check in payment. The officer who ar
rested the merchant made frantic and az.
onizlng contOrtions behind the merchant 5
back and to the magistrate, indicating
that he should not accept the check.
Nevertheless, his honor" knew of the
man and knew he was good for thousands
II he should want them The merchant
was allowed to depart making various
earnest threats.
Mosenfelder & kOhn received an order
from Davenport for samples of BOYS
clothing and while Mr. Heller. who has
charge of the Davenport trade for this
firm was over there, he called on several
parties and displayed his samples. So
fine were the goods displayed and so
much superior to what is offered in Dav-
export, that they were admired by all
admirers of fine clothing, so much that
it became the talk of the
town. Coming to the ears of
a jealous rival, he sought to bring re-
proach against Mosenfelder & Kobn BY
whispering the above in the ears of the
Gazette reporter. Mosenfelder & Kohn
wish to say that their agent, Mr. Heller,
was not arrested nor brought before a
justice. nor was he fined, consequently
the above item was manufactured out of
whsle cloth. They also do not peddle
goods. The merits of their goods being
the fact that they are drawing trade from
sufficient to attract trade from Daven-
port without peddlng them, and
which they propose to continue
right along. However Mosenfelder
d kohn, thanking the Gazette for their
free advertising, have placed s. to their
credit and hope they will continue in the
same way.
