A Notable Book.

DIR. Schaffranek's notable work, "a
Floral Almanac of Florida, which marks
anew era in the scientific history of Flor
ida is off the press. This State has badly
lacked floral guide. The hotanist and
florist will find in DIR. Schaffraneks S
work an indispensable aid. 1t gives
one thousand and seven hum
dred of the Heterogeneous plants
of Florida arranged according to
order in which they bloom, arranged in
columns. The first column gives the
month of blooming, the next the serial
number, the third the name Of the plant
and authority for the name, the fourth
the natural order to which the plant
belongs, the fifth the locality in which
it may be found as ''dry sand,
west coast" or .sriver banks, Pa
latka." The new species marked .n. sp.'
are those discovered by DR. Schaffranek.

The Reading Brotherhood Do Not
Obey Orders.
The Nor rthern Pacific Engineers Stand BY
the brotherhood and Pledge Them
$4,000 if Needed.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The meeting on
Monday of the Grievance Committee of
the engineers and firemen is looked for
ward to with great anxiety by both the
Burlington officials and the Brotherhood
officers. Upon the outcome of this meet
ing depends the future course of Chief
Arthur. Should reasonable excuse be
found for it on one of the western roads
the Brotherhood men will probably be
called out. 1t is believed by many that
every Western road is liable under a
strict neutrality construction to have its
men taken out by Tuesday morning. Off
GERS of the Brotherhood now admit that
nothing satisfactory will come of their
order to the engineers and firemen of the
Reading Railroad to quit work, and dis
patches from the East this morning con-
firm this belief.
Now that the order has not been
obeyed the temporary check put upon
the knights who came to this city yes
teaday to secure the places of the
strikers has been removed, and the Bur-
lington can resume the work of hiring
willing Knights of Labor. Master Work
man Cahill only succeeded in sending
back East twenty-five to thirty of the
Reading men, and it required an induce
ment in the shape of Brotherhood money
to accomplish even this much.
AT the offices of the Burlington Com
pany it was not thought that the
Brotherhood would carry out their
threat to call off the engineers and fire
men on other Western roads.
s.Their object, of course said one of
the officials, sis to endeavor to bring
such pressure from public and other
roads to bear on us that it will compel
US to accede to their demands. We have
made no attempt to move through
freight, and will not attempt to do SC
till we have completely modified our
local traffic. Then we will receive and
handle through freight, and should any
attempt be made to cut us off from ac-
commodations by connecting lines, we
will try what virtue.there is in the Inter
State Commerce law. We can compe
other roads to handle our cars or we car
make them pay $4,000 for every car they
refuse.
ssWe are moving freight trains now al
most to our usual capacity on the Iowa
Nebraska and Missouri lines, and viii
have our own line of service complete
next week. The fight on the Other
roads by the Brotherhood will be made
solely on account of freight traffic.
MONEY FOR THE STRIKERS,
ATcHlsoN, KAN, March 3.-The strik
ing engineers ON the Burlington system
held secret meeting here last night. L
is understood a telegram was receivet
from the Northern Pacific enginec-'
pledging them $75, 200 if necessary.

Meeting to Decide the Proposition to Be Allotted to
Each Mill,
PITTsBURG, March 3.-Representatives
of all of the steel rail mills in the country
are holding secret meeting here to de-
eide what proportion of the output shall
be allotted to each of the twelve nslls.
It is estimated that the production of
steel rails for 1888 will be fully 30 per
cent. less than last year, and in order
to avoid an entire decentralization of
trade, manufacturers are making ar
rangements to act in harmony during
the coming year. 1t is exp. cted that
operations will be resumed in the course
CT a few weeks. The conference is being
watched with great interest by the en-
ployees of the Edgar Thompson and
Homestead rail mills in this city and
also by the coke operators. The former
are anxious to return to work and the
coke men are waiting for orders.

Some Sssroes in Charleston Hatch Plot b,
Which to Make Money.
CHARLESTON, S. c., March 3.-In Jan
uary Joseph B. Dudley, colored. was
alleged to have died. He was insured
in the United States Mutual Accident
Association and Traders and Travellers
Company, both of New York, each COM
pany having issued policy on his life
for $4,000. Suspicion of foul play arose,
and the companies sent Pinkerton
detective here. The investigation, which
has been in progress for about week,
resulted to-day in the voluntary con-
fession from two colored men that no
such person as Dudley ever lived, and
that the corpse alleged to be his was OBJ
tanned in the colored graveyard and rep
resented to be the body of the fictitious
Dudley. The transaction was a con-
spiracy to secure the insurance money.

NEW VESSEL LAUNCHED.
Splendid Ceremonies at the Dedication of
New Vessel in Palatka.

| Splendid Ceremonies at the Dedication Of
New Vessel in Palatka.
An interesting ceremony vas observed
at the foot of Madison street, last night.
A new vessel was added to our merchant
marine. A number of guests of the Put
nam was present when the new vessel,
christened the NJ. E. Wilkins, was
launched. The glorious banner of the
free floated at her mast heed and an
assh of evergreens and Spanish moss was
sprun aidships, beneath which fair
ladies sat while other representatives of
the gentle sex that controls the world
and draws us 'swith single hair sat IN
the bow and the stern.
N. b. Bryant of Boston, one of the
most eloquent lawyers of the old conf
monwealth of the Puritans delivered an
eloquent speech in which he referred to
this auspicious occasion as proof that
all that had been said of the decadence
of the merchant marine of this country,
the decay of the shipping interest was
baseless, for here in the heart of Florida
was another vessel to be launched upon
glorious Union. A happy response was
made by Gov. Young, of Iowa, and the
vessel was then committed to the waves
which she was expected TO ride as a
thing of life.
just as she was let go the strains of
Nancy Lee" broke forth from hidden
cornet. As her sternpost struck the
water, a young lady at the bow at
tempted to christen the boat. Repeated
attempts were made, but the champagne
bottle chosen was quite as strong as the
stern of the boat, and it slipped from
the weak and pretty hands that held it
into the river, SO that the river itse.f was
christened the NJ. E. Wilkins instead of
the boat.
When they We're out in the stream it
| was found that no means had been pro-
! vided to control the boat and one of the
far and ready minded inmates was COM
PEELED to seize a board and bring her
back to shore to the strains of s'Home
Again" and 'Row for the Shore" from
the hidden cornet player in the middle
distance.
| The new vessel is handsomely decora-
ted in beautiful brindle style after the
| latest edicts of the aesthetic schools, and
bears its name in bold letters on the
| bows. The new vessel is fifteen feet over
| all, four feet in beam and is designed for
| the fishing trade. 1t is named after a
fair denizen of the City of Brotherly
Love.

He Knew Watts.

Many will be surprised to hear that a
man who knew James Watts lived to see
the dawn of the present year, This gem
tleman, Mr.. Thomas Lockhart. who re-
Gently died in Glasgow, at tine age of
81, had literally in lifetime seen the
virtual birth of the steam engine, and
had witnessed its marvellous growth
and the corresponding advance in all
branches of mechanical engineering.
The startling nature of this rapid progress
is well illustrated by remark In letter
of James Watts, where he observes that
he had just made piston that fitted the
cylinder so truly that a half crown could
hardly be inserted between them 1T any
| point of the bore As this coin is larger
than a silver half dollar, the accuracy
of workmanship in those days seems to
belong to another age. And yet it haa
been compassed in the lifetime of one
old man. It is said that Mr.. Lockhari
| preserved vivid impressioa Of the weal
| inventor, and was always pleased fo re-
call the circumstances which broueh,
them together.

THE HATFlElDs.
Judge Barr Remands the wes, Virginia Prisoners
10 Pike County,


TO Pike County.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 3.-In the
United States District Court this morn
ing Judge Barr remanded the West Vir-
ginia prisoners, the IIatfelds, to the
charge of the Pike County officials. This
is victory for the State of Kentucky.
An appeal to the United States Circuit
Court from District Judge Barr's opinion
was taken this afternoon by Hon. Eus-
tice Gibson, Attorney for the State of
West Virginia. The case had very
amusing close. While the immediate
disposition of the prisoners was under
consideration, Andrew Varney, one of
their number, got up and stated that he
wanted to be sent back to Pike County.
The court there would only be in session
for week, and he wanted to be there in
time, as he felt sure he would prove his
innocence.
The court said: s.If you made this APP
plication for a writ of habeas corpus you
would he there now.
varney said: 1T was not on my appli-
cation that I was brought here did
not know a thing about this until l
was brought here
The judge said he wished he had known
that before.
Varney said he did not think it was
fair to make him and others suffer in
order that West Virginia might fight
her legal battle.
This put the laugh on the representa-
tive of West Virginia, who, it will be re-
membered, when he made the applica-
ton for West Virginia represented that
the prisoners werein great danger in Pike
County, and that they were most anxi
GUS to be brought before the United
States Court in order to escape this
danger.

Public Morals Progressing

An ho Lest Democratic primary election
held in the city of Wilmington and prohibi-
tion decreed for Leadville were simultane-
ously wired over the country during the
past week-after this, the millennium most
naturally might be expected.
1t will be readily recalled that two " ars
ago the Democratic vote in third and tenth
wards equalled the combined aggregation of
men, women, children, tin eau and goats in
said wards aud if, at that time any one
should have spoken of an honest vote for
those respective wards at this early date, be
would have been considered as chimerical:
SO in regard to prohibition for Leadville.
As a matter of fact when tho National Edi-
torial Association visited Leadville in
September last rum flowed in every street
and every alley of the city, every hour OF
the day and every day oil the week. Men
and things wearing drs sses staggered
through the avenues in midday and made
midnight hideous with their drunken pro.
fanations; yet within six months the rum
shops are closed, decency has supplanted
indecency, quietness has supplanted lawless,
ness and disorder, lewdness has been cor
raled with an iron band and Leadville nc
longer fiuds it necessary to apologize for hel
existence.
An honest Democratic primary election il
Wilmington and prohibition for Leadvill,
is matter for national thanksgiving.

growth Of the room, recently held
public meeting in the Opera House,
which was addressed by Mr.. Goodwin,
of the Franklin Reformatory Home of
Philadelphia. Music was furnished by
the West Presbyterian Church choir,
and the audience of about 800 seemed

ertide the l.. 7. l., gave an entertain
ment to the children to whom the
Christmas dinner was given. This
entertainment consisted of singing,
the reading Of an Easter story, and
talk upon Easter by one Of the city
ministers. The children we're given a
potted geranium, heliotrope or pansy ,
besides papers and magazines. An
appropriation has lately been made
from the Y. treasury for the purchase
