Orange County Notes.

GRAND ISLAND, ORANGE COUNTY,
FLA, March lS.--Our farmers have gotten
over the great freeze scare, and as the
damage to the orange trees was so triiing,
II prOyes that an orange grove is sure and
safe investment. IL is true that almost
the entire vegetable crop was damaged by
the great freeze, but all OF the farmers re-
planted at once, and from the present out
look Will make fair aud comparatively
early crop, as beans are blooming and
tomatoes well up. The growers around
here expect TO make an exhibit Of the
above vegetables AZ the Jacksonville Fair
next week.
New settlers are coming In. principally
from the North and West. Ordinary
frost through South Florida rarely
touches our island, which shows that we
have superior lake protection.
This is fast becoming the favorite
section for truck farmers and orange
growers. We viii soon have new
church and depot. In regard 20 social
life our dramatic club gives an enter.
tainment next week and there are sew.
eral dances on hand. Three weddings
will certainly take place very early, atd
things are quite lively generally Tht
surrounding towns are fast building up,
and this section IL on quite boom.

GoTHAM's BRIDE TAKERS.
Jaehne Reported to Have MAZDA 3 Con
feasfOp.


NEW YORK, March l9-The arrest OF
Alderman Jaehne on an indictment eharg-
ing him with bribery in the matter Of the
charter of the Broadway Surface road has
mad an effect upon politicians
fairly comparable to an earth
quake. Inspector Byrnes claims
TO have wormed himself so far into
Alderman Jaehne's confidence that he ac-
knowledged having received $40, 900 for his
vote on that measure, and told who be-
sides himself was brbed and who paid
THIS money to them. Alderman Jaehne Is
perfectly composed and says Inspector
Byrnes' storyof confession is pure tab
rication.
DoCToRING ACCOUNTS.
Inspector Byrnes says that among other
things, Alderman Jaehne described how
one OF the bribed Aldermen had employed
a lawyer and skilled accountant to so fix
his books as to account for large access
sions to his bank account, about the time
when this bride money was being dis
trlbuted. 1t was currently reported that
Alderman Fulgraf would be arrested to-
day, but if he has been it has not become
known. More indictments were looked
Tor to-day, but although about twenty IN
dictments were handed in by the grand
jury, they did not embrace any against
Aldermen.
ALDERMAN PEARSON MISSING.
Alderman Pearson, one of those under
cloud, was called to-day as a witness be-
fore the Senate Committee OF Investiga-
ton, but tailed to respond. and this added
fresh impetus to the report that some Of
Alderman Jaehne's partners in bride TAX
Ing have absconded. Rumor is busy with
the names Of all who were in the board
when the Broadway franchise was passed.
Inspector Byrnes was interviewed to-day
upon this subject. He refused to say who
had according to his information been
guilty OF bride taking, but said he could
absolutely eXonerate two members, AL
dermen Grant and O'Connor, one Dem
ocrat and the other a Republican.

remarkable atmospheric phenomenon ever
known here occurred at O'Clock this af-
ternoon. 1t had been light, though slight
ly cloudy, when suddenly at the hour

to and fro. Teams dashed along, and
women and children beat precipItate re.
treats into cellars. All business ceased
until lights could be lighted. Not a
breath OF air was stirring. The darkness
lasted from eight TO ten minutes, when 1t

A party Of burly Texans were enjoying
themselves around one of the mahogany
tables in the Hoffman House few nights

turned to anger. The party had helped
themselves to one round of drinks, and
were pouring another out OF the same
bottle when Billy Edwards called a
WATERS attention to the tact and begged
MIN not to forget to charge for l.. Billy
simply did this as a precaution. The
waiter, however, stupidity supposed that
the gentlemen were trying to get drink
without paying for it. He approached
the party as if they were dead beats and
rudely demanded payment for a drink
which they had not yet taken. The gen.
tlemen were indignant, and it looked for
a moment as if they would make matters
uncOmtOrtablV animated tor the waiter.
Seeing that he had made mistake ne
threw the blame upon Edwards, to whom
he pointed.
s'Why don't that dude mind his own
buslness?" asked the largest of the party.

with my little finger. Pll just show him
how We treat such people down in our

''Come here. you poor dude, until swal-
low You," said another of the party as be
beckoned to Edwards.
AS Billy advanced innOcently a third
member of the party remarked:
Hell scare the little fellow to death,
anyhow"

The threat was cut short by Col. Tom
Ochiltree, who was one of the party, say
ing:
Hold on, boys; this is mistake. This
dude is a good fellow. Let me introduce
you to him. Gentlemen, allow me to in
troduce to you the celebrated Billy Ed
wards, the champion light weight of the
American prize ring, and let me add that
he is not dude"
The Texans looked sick. Then they
forced a smile, and all shook hands with
Billy Edwards.
And" said Col. Ochiltree, CT am
ashamed to think that leading citizens
frsm my State cannot tell dude from

Explanations Y ere then in order, more
drinks were called for. and Billy Ed
wards was told that if he ever came to
