DAYI0Nk.
Last Trip of the white-oranse ShIPmeais-A se-
we're Practical Joke


we're Practical ioke.
Correspondence Of the Pdldtkd NeUs.
DAYToNA, February 16.
A driZzling rain set in yesterday about
6 p. m, and continues without any i'm
mediate signs of cessation. Though a dis
agreeable norther was expected about
this time we are loath to meet it.
Guests of the ''Ormond' appreciating
the farewell trip of the S. V. White,
came to Daytona in numbers this morn
ing to take passage South. Many of our
own visitors also took advantage of the
last trip, by closing engagements here
and leaving by the same vessel. The
boat is to be run between Jupiter and
Melbourne, instead of TitUsville and the
latter.
Beside an immense shipment of
oranges from Daytona this morning,
Ormond also came to the front with
two carloads.
The Halifax Lodge No. 81, will shortly
erect a handsome temple at cost of
| $4,000, on Hollywood avenue, between
Beach and Canal streets. II is under
stood that the construction of the same
is let to Messrs. Bartlett & Green.
In event of disagreeable weather to-
morrow evening the german will be
postponed until suitable time.
One of the most amusing boat notes
which we are favored to relate was that
| of Capt. Charles Van Dorn's slight mis-
fortune at Port Orange yesterday. 1t
happened, SO the Captain said, while
deeply interested in the depth of heaven.
One John Smith, knowing Charles
| weakness as "A sailor, sailed silently
toward the stately Minerva, and in a
twinkiing had the craft settled in three
feet of cold water, but apparently not
noticing the victim of the practical joke
headed in the opposite direction; thus
| Captain Van was compelled To wade
across Rose Bay and receive the hospi-
| talities of Port Orange. Equipped in
| dry clothes, Charles started bravely for
home, leaving his sunken vessel at the
mercy of the waves. While deploring
his fate he deemed it good joke, but a
trifie severe. He starts on a wrecking
tour this morning. GERALDINE.

Going to Thunder.
Gainesville Advocate.

The Savannah, Florida and Western
passenger train was an hour late yester-
day. Since the railroads have ''pulled"
editorial passes, we observe that they
are going to thunder with a rapidity
that is truly amazing. Let 'em go.
Newspapers are not objects or charity
or fondling asy1ums, and when the va
rious railrnads of Florida attempt to
conduct thriving business without the
cooperation of editors to manage and
smooth things over for them, they had
better pause to consider; not that editors
are thieves, but that they are handy fell
lows to have around when a case of
''shanagan is to be perpetrated. To the
railroads of Florida we say: Go to
thunder, and when you want any lying
doEe, call elsewhere; we have quit,
sworn off, as it were When we have
to pay fare equal with the unlettered
plebian, we propose to tell the unvar-
nished truth which we trust will hurt.
Don't attempt to buy us off. But in
case you should, remember that nothing
small will be taken.

The Change That is Needed.

New ork Star.
Mr.. Jesse Seligman says, in a recent
interview:
'|We complain down here in Wall
street of the Stagnation of business.
Four years ago the boys of the Stock
Exchange were marching around shout
ing that they wanted change. They
have had change, and apparently they
do not like it. l would suggest that
they march back again, like the king of
France in the famous rhyme
Such is the effect of the prolonged in
action of Congress on the Tax-Reform
bill. Disgust with the prevailing dull
ness is universal, and men of all opin-
ions are inclined to believe that it would
be better even to have bill brought
forward and defeated than; to prolong
the present condition of uncertainty.
Already business in imports is suffering
in common with domestic manufactures
and commerce. No one knows which
way to turn or what to do in the alb
sence of any definite plan of readjust-
ment. AS soon as the bill of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means is reported,
producers, manufacturers and dealers
will be able to judge of the probable eff
feet of the measure on their interests.
and to regulate their affairs accordingly,
If the Tax-Reform bill be, as it must,
strong and sensible one, business will
at once commence to revive. Those not
directly interested in its provisions, will
resume the conduct of their transac-
tions on the old basis, and those who are
Immediately concerned will commence
to adapt them to the coming state of
things. But so long as nothing is done
and nothing Is known. private boards will
continue to grow and multiply, as use
less and nom productive as the Govern
ment surplus itself. The business in
stocks, to which we have specifically re-
ferred heretofore, simply on account of
its value as an indication of the general
condition, is by no means the only one
affected or even the one chiefly con-
cerned.
There is scarcely any business that
| does not share in the prevailing unrest
and timidity. The responsibility of the
Committee on Ways and Means is very
great. and unless that small body of
| mtn shall take action very soon the feel
| ing of the people respecting them will
| express itself in tones of unmistakabie
| indignation.
The real difficulty of the situation lies
in the fact that the country has not yet
| had in its fullness or substance the
change demanded in 1884 Congress
| sional action can only effect that change
| and Congressional action has heretofore
been lacking. Let it be no longer absent
from the fulfilllment of the pledges o.
| the Democracy in which the country has
trusted.

OCALA, February 17.-Ocala has been
visited again by confiagration which,
happening right now in the height of
our winter season, can be looked upon
as dire catastrophe. 1t does seem that
our plucky little city is having very
hard struggle in bringing herself to the

place. Only a little over a year since
we had similar fire, but rallying from
that we were bounding along on the
foremost waves of prosperity in man

FROM JACKSONVILLE.
A Burglar incdent-coI. Marcy Seen With His
Wife In New Orleans

Special to the Pdldtkd Neirs.
JACKSONVILLE, February 17.-Last
night a resident of West Union street
was awakened about 3 o'clock by a noise
at the second story window. Becoming
satisfied from the noise that a burglar
was attempting to open the blinds and
force up the sash, the gentleman of the
house, with cooked pistol in his hand
stood near the window few minutes,
hoping to get shot through the glass
at the intruders. Suddenly the noise
ceased. Upon opening a door near the
window he discovered that the house
breakers had become suspicious, quietly
descended the back stairs and decamped.
Investigation, however, showed that
they had called the dog into the street,
| tied him to a tree and opened all the
gates preparatory to making hasty
exit.

ANOTHER HER-STATE DECISION.
A Case Of Discrimation- Decision Against the
railroads.

AaiIroads.
WASHINGTON. February 17.-The In
ter-State Comrrce Commission to-
day rendered 4 opinion in the
case of Heck & Petre VS.. the
East Tennessee, irginia and Georgia
Railway Compa4, the Knoxville
and Ohio RailNy Company, Rich
mond and Danville2ailway Company,
Richmond and Westoint Terminal and
Warehouse Compan, and the Coal
Creek and New Riv, Railroad Com
pany. In this case appears that
railroad company charted by the State
of Tennessee owns a shirt road wholly
in that State, but nser owned any
rolling stock nor operate its road. The
road was used and operad as a means
of conducting interchangeable in coal
by the companies owninahe connect
ing Interstate roads. Tmcommission
holds that the short road hone of the
facilities and instrumentaliG of inter
State commerce, and, as suclis subject
to the provisions of the act regulate
commerce. In respect to sh traffic,
| the opinion holds that tn duties
of such road to the public areae same
without respect to ownership, &porate
control, authority, or means of IS con-
struction. AS one of the g instment-
alities of shipment or carriage, must
be accessible, it says, to all inteState
shippers on equal and reasonable rms.
The public cannot be deprived othis
right by the separate or joint acti of
the defendants. The traffic in queson
is held to be Interstate traffic. he
companies conducting it used this sllt
road as facility for such traffic. I'd
cannot be permitted to use it for t
purpose of discrimination between mi
owners on its line. The claim for pee
mary damages, the opinion says, p
sents case of common law, in viii
the defendants are entitled to a lu
trial. The opinion was by Commission
Morrison.

of the commercial staples.
DRY GOODS STRONG.
The dry goods market shows great
strength in cottons. Though prices of
many qualities are already high enough
for a one per cent. further advance IN
raw cotton, there is talk of further ad-
vances.
The demand for woolens continues
moderate, though better than 1T was,
and wool is firm; but buyers are still un-
usually cautious.
THE IRON MARKET.
The consumption of pig iron last year
exceeded $500, ,0U0 tons. and of all iron,
domestic and foreign, over S,1D0.oo0
tons, but shrinkage of 10000 tons
weekly in production barely keeps prices
steady, and in bar iron the cut by large
Western establishments reflects the
shrinkage in demand. Prices are now
$3.50 lower than a year ago for pig, so
for bar. Sc to 81 for plates, and 81 for
rails. Added to the light demand as
cause of the weakness, there is the state
ment that the committee tariff bill will
reduce the duties on ore to so cents, on
pig to $3.50, and rails to $11.
