Iufauticiuc.

On Tuesday morning last q male child,
colored, was found in the yard of Mr..
George \. Hunter. on First street. At
a postmortum examination it was found
that the child was born alive and the
facts brought out by the investigation
show that it had come to its death by
foul means. 4 strip of cloth was
found tied very tight around its neck,
from which cause il evidently died.
Rose Hardin, neg-o woman of a
medium mulatto hue, who has been hv-
ing in the yard, is supposed to be the
mother and destroyer of the child. She
had suddenly disappeared and this, to-
gether with other circumstances, fasten-
ed, it is believed, the guilt upon her.
Sheriff Zehnbar left the city for
Gainesville Wednesday afternoon, where
he heard the suspected woman was, but
news of his going had preceded him, and
the woman endeavored to make her es-
cape, and it was not until late at night
that he succeeded in catching her. He
returned with his prisoner yesterday af-
ternoon and placed her in Jail, where
she will await an examination and trial.

A STEAMER SUNK.
The Georgetown Ran into by the
City of Monticello.

At $50 o'clock yesterday morning,
just after the steamship City of Month
cello pulled out from her dock at the
Florida Southern depot. and was head
ing down the river for Jacksonville, she
ran into the little river steamer George
town, which was passing up the river,
striking her about four feet forward of
the wheel, and causing her to sink in
about five minutes.
The Georgetown was owned by the
Georgetown Navigation Company, but
was chartered by Capt. w. II. Squires,
who was in command at the time of
the accident. The captain informs us
that the Georgetown had the heaviest
load of freight of the season, being load
ed till the guards were almost in
the water with hay, grain, grocery goods,
brick, etc, and the loss in this respect
will be considerable. There were no
passengers on the Georgetown, but Capt.
Squires' family was on board, and when
the steamer began to sink they were
placed on the upper deck until the Mon
ticello could take them, together with
the crew, off the wrecked vessel and
bring them to shore.
BY the kindness of Capt. Cole, of the
steam yacht Leila, News reporter
boarded that staunch little craft yes
terday morning and visited the wreck.
The steamer is lying near the bouy off
Reiu's Point, in about five or six feet of
water, leaving all the upper part of the
vessel above the water line, giving it
the appearance of a fiat roof cabin in
some western overlooked district, but
from the deck of the yacht the extent
of the damage done the Georgetown by
the collision could not be seen. To nu-
merous inquiries from the visiting party,
one of the Georgetown's crew, who
was at work Strengthening cut affairs
about the wreck, said that the vessel
was heading downward, but they had
made fast to wait for full head of
steam before progressing fnrther." Capt.
Squires does not know whether the
Georgetown was insured or not, and
! could not tell just what the amount of
the damage would be from the sinking
of the boat.

The Gas Works.

After the trials and difficulties incident
to all new institutions of consequence,
from which there was no exception in
the present case. the Palatka Gas Works
have at last reached completion, and
are furnishing first-class quality of

On November 10Th last, contract was
on the part of Palatka Gas Light and
Fuel Company. and the Davis-Farnum
Manufacturing Company, of Waltham.
Mass, the conditions of which were in a
nut shell, that the manufacturing COM
pany agreed to construct the gas works
in the city of Palatka, and that the
works should be completed by the 18th
day of January, 1886. The works were
nearing completiong about that time,
when an accident occurred which delay
ed it from ten days to two weeks.
Before contracts were made, Mr.. Cart
ter, the senior director over the gas COM
pany, was sent north to inspect the
several methods of gas making, and af-
ter thorough Investigation selected as
the best for the company he represented
and the patrons thereof, the Mckenzie

best and most economical for the
needs of Palatka, if indeed it has SUI.
