President Sparks returns to the city
N New York very much gratified at
the H. of the trip, having placed all

He found many arm friends of the
road in the North, a 7 of them recogniz-
ing the fact that, by the completion of
the road, it viii for the great direct
lire from the extrer North to the ex-
treme South.
Mr.. Sparks came home to find that
the construction fvrce. has been quite
busy, and is pushing the road to COM
pletioT.
There is now due in Brunswick 900
tons of iron for the road. and on its arr
rival, which viii be in few days, will
be brought direct to Macon There is
also due in the months of April and May,
5000 tons. This will build the road to
two miles beyond the town of Corleie,
or sixty-six miles.
AS to rolling stock, there is now COM
ing forty fiat cars, forty box cars, two
passenger coaches and one combination
baggage and express car. These are ex-
pected early and may be here at any
day.
The track is now laid for a distance ct
twenty-one miles.
1t is the intention of President Sparks
to put on a regular schedule by the first
of May, or carrier if possible.
The road is being built as rapidly as
possible, but delay is expected between
the thirty-third and thirty fourth mile
post. This delay viii be occasioned by
heavy work, the really only heavy work
| on the line. 1t requires considerable time
to cut through it, and the contractors
are losing money at that particular point,
which is near the Dooly County line.
Between Macon and Cordele there viii
be located in short while at least five
first-ciass saw mills, and these viii add
largely to the earnings of the road.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, February 23.-
Yesterdays lowering clouds vanished
during the night and to-day furnished
typical example of Florida winter sun
shine. The Presidential party rose early.
and after beakfast were escorted in car
riages to the Sub Tropical Exposition,
which they inspected thoroughly before
the general public was admitted. Great
surprise was expressed by all at the opu-
lence and variety of flowers and fruit
displayed, and especially at the oranges
and characteristic sub-tropical plants.
In the rustic building containing the
exhibits of fernando, Pasco and Citrus
Counties full sized orange trees covered
w bloom and containing. about one
hundred oranges, had been placed near
the platform, which Mrs. Cleveland
ascended, and she enjoyed for the first
time the experience of plucking orange
blossoms and oranges from the trees.
She tossed to the President the first
orange she picked, but his hands were
not quick enough and he caught it on his
nose. She offered him another, but he
declined, saying that man got into
trouble long time ago by accepting
fruit plucked and offered by woman.
Here Mrs. Cleveland enjoyed an oppor-
tunity of cutting pineapples from the
stem, and she did whatever was pro
posed with sort of girlish glee. A tame
fawn was presented to her, and will be
forwarded to the White House by ex-

special train for Palatka, arriving there
at 1915.
In Palatka they will make but short
stop and then go on to TiUusville, which
place will be reached at O'Clock to-
morrow morning. They will then take
the steamer Rockledge for sail on the
famous Indian River, and visit Hardee's
grove. The party then will visit San
ford. That city will be reached at $3.50
p. m. tomorrow. After spending an
hour at the South Florida Exposition
the party will go on to Winter Park, ar
irving there at 8 p. M, when tea will
be served and an hour given to sight
seeing. The party then, at $50 p. M,
will start for Washington, arriving in
Jacksonville tomorrow night at IL
O'Clock and Immediately go through to
the seat of government.
Mr.. Myers, of the FL Modelo Cigar
Factory, of this city, presented the
President this morning with a cabinet of
the finest cigars ever made in Florida.
There was 900 of them, valued at $500.
A single cigar of this kind sells for
seventy-five cents.
John Callahan and John Murphy, two
boys, to-day had their rowboat hand
somely decorated in mid stream when
the ferryboat containing the Presidential
party crossed the river, and fired
a small cannon mounted on their
boat three times in honor of
the President and his wife. The salute
was acknowledged by the President and
wife, and a response returned by blow
ing the steam whistles. j. L. S.

Remarkable Escape.
Inter Mountain, 23d.

There was a very remarkable accident out
at the Montana Central tunnel this side of
Weodville last evening. 1t is customary,
before putting in a deep blast, to ''spring'
the hole, which is done by setting Off one or
" light shots in it, having the effect of
cracking the rock so the heavy blast will
accomplish more. Thus it was in this case.
A hole had been put down p%erpendicularly
eight or ten feet in the 'bench" at the face
in the west end of the tunnel. 1t had been
sprung once or twice when it came time for
the day shift to 90 of. 1t is customary for
the foreman to come back after the hole has
cooled, charge it, and set it of.
Last evening, however, instead Of waiting
for the hole to cool, Foreman Knight re-
manned after the day shift had gone off duty
and at once commenced putting in the blast.
He had dropped several sticks of giant pow
der into it, and was bending over the hole
and just dropping another stick down it
when the charge exploded. Remarkable to
relate, however, the only injury lone him
was by small splinters of rock cutting his
face and hands, causing only comparatively
slight flesh wounds.
He was able to walk down from the tunnel
to where there was a team and was brought
in to the Sisters hospital, where he is now
receiving treatment and will probably be
laid up only a short time.

H END.
SCOTS Appeal to the Supreme Court Proves
Futile.

The last hope which NJ. L. Scott, the Gran
tie murderer, had of escaping the expiation
of his offense on the gallows, unless the Gov.
ernor shall pardon or Ieprieye him, which is
scarcely within the possibilities, has disap-
peared. The Supreme Court has sustained
the lower Court and rejected his appeal for a
new trial, and in all human probability he
will be hanged or Friday, the 18th of Feb
ruary, as sentenced. To avoid any POSSIBLE
ity of accident, Sheriff Coleman has provi.
ded extra guard, which will remain On until
the sentence is carried into execution. This
will take place in an enclosure adjacent to
the Jail. 1t is probable the same style of gal.
lows used at Dillon in the execution of
Harding will be used for Scott. This seems
to be the best devised for the purpose, and to
work efectually. If this execution takes
place, it will be the first legal execution in
Deer Lodge county.
