Water and Climate.

From the Jacksonville (FldO Netcs- Herald.
A client of Judge A. o. Wright's called
at his office Saturday to learn something
about piece of land which he bought from
the late c. B. Dibble during his lifetime,
located at the northwest quarter of the
northeast quarter of section three, town
ship three, range twenty-Six, south and
east He wanted to know what it was
worth, and what the chances of getting a
good price for it were. He said that it was
about six miles from Jacksonville.
On consulting a section map Ct Duval
county it was learned that the forty acres
were about in the middle of the st. Johns
river The gentleman said that he hoped
the fishing was good, but feared it would be
difficult to drain the land. If he could reg
ulate the water supply doubtless it would
make a splendid rice plantation. He was
gratifed 10 learn that no timber had been
stolen from the property, and that it is not
affected by droughts.
Judge Wright was instructed to ascertain
if Mr.. Dibble'S warranty deed was good for
anything, and if so to recover the purchase
money! interest and taxes

CHATTANOOGA, March 26-The Trades
mans reports of new industries actually
organized and erected in the South since
Jan. ], 1888, indicate no abatement in its
industrial growth. The reports show great
activity in cotton and wooden factories.
Within the past month thirty new companies
have been formed and in moss cases all the
necessary stock has been subscribed.
There is also much activity in mining
operations the total number of mining and
quarrying companies formed in the South
since Jan. being 81

In the wood working branches, however,
the development has been the greatest, the
whole number of new plants in the three
months being Sc
The reports also show that Southern
timber lands are in demand, chiefly by lum-
bermen from the Northwest. Over 800, 900
acres have been sold since Jan. |. North
western manufacturers are erecting HILLS
in various Southern States.
THE RECORDS SHOWING.
BALTIMORE, March 26-The MnnufGc-
turerS Record will publish this week its
quarterly report of the South's industrial
progress, giving the name. location and
charter of the business of every manufac-
turing and mining enterprise organized in
that section since Jan. |. The report
shows that while there were somewhat
fewer large non-manutacturing and
mining companies organized during the
last III ee months than for the same time
of 1885, there was a large increase in the
number and diversity of small industries.
The Record reports that all over the South
small industries are springlng up to supple
ment the great iron works which are now
under construction.

In the Albany Judicial circuit there are

Judge and Solicitor General For the
former are Hons. d. B. Bower the present
incumbent; j. w. Walters, of Albany; j. J.
Beck, at present Judge of the County

The recent inclement weather has been
very hard upon the growing crops. The
rain has washed the corn and covered it
with mass of sand. Even the corn that
was planted. very early and was up is
banked with sand so that the roots will
have little chance to grow. Most of the
corn has been cut down and the early cot
ton killed by the recent cold snap The
gardens have suffered greatly from the re-
cent cold snap. The delicate early vege-
tables, such as Irish potatoes, snap beans,
cucumbers and melons, have been bitten
down and killed. The peas, tomatoes, cab
bage and other harder vegetables are not
injured. 1t is impossible as yet to estimate
the amount Of damage done to the fruit
crop by the cold, though it is considerable,
as the trees were in full bloom and on many
the young fruit had set.

ON RAIL AND CROSSTIn.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles

T. D. Kline, of Macon, superintendent of
the Southwestern; w. II. McChntock, of
Columbus, superintendent of the Columbus
and Western, and W. w. Starr, of Au-
gusta, superintendent of the Port ROYAL
and Western Carolina, are in the city.
If satisfactory arrangements can be made
with the managers of the White Fla. rail
road, it is not at all improbable that
steamer will be chartered to run on the
Indian river in connection with that road
for the transportation of freight for the In
dian river people.
The injunction entered by the Leeds Land
Company, at Leeds, against the Columbus
and Western Railroad Company last week,
was settled several days ago. The com
plainantS We're awarded $l6S II damages
for right of way over a certain plot of
land near Leads Station. The road would
only cross about 800 feet of the disputed
property The injunction was finally set
tied. The construction force of the road
were ready TO begin work as soon as the
trouble was removed, and when the matter
was settled the news was telcgraphed out
there and work was Immediately COM
menced. The company expects no more
trouble, and the tracklaying is being pushed
ahead.
The progress OF railway building in India
has been much greater than is generally re-
allied in this country, the mileage in oper-
alton in 1887 being 10 less than IA, 256 miles.
and :, 22l miles being then under con,truc-
ton In 1880 the totai length of lines was
not quite 5000 miles, showing an addition
OF over 5000 miles in seven years. Nearly
all the Indian railways are owned or op-
Grated either by the general or local gov
ermentS, the mileage worked by companies
being 1 $40 miles only, cut of the IL ,l56. At
the present rate of prog ess the Indian EN-
pire will soon have greater railway mile
age than that of Great Britain, which is now
about 10 500 miles.

announcement made Saturday on behalf of
the Burlington road, no answer was filed
by that company to-day denying the allega-
ton of the Rock Island road regarding an
attempt To force the formation of a great
Western railway trust. Instead, the hear
ing of the Burlington's motion for an
Injunction against the Rock Island was
postponed until Judge GgeSham's return
from Milwaukee. THIS means a delay of
probably about a week. The )StpOnement
was suggested by the Buriington's attor-
ney, Mr. Dexter, writing to the counsel for
the Rock Island that there was no hurry at
present for the hearing.

in q Yawl Boat

III a. dWl bOdL.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 26 Viii
liam C. Pond. of this city, and w. e..
Walby, of Adrian, Mich, started some days
ago from Cedar Key for pleasure trip by
water TO Terraceia bay and return. Their
craft was small cat-rigged yawl. The
passage down the Gulf was
pleasure one, the young men be
ing remarkably successful III their
fishing and hunting enterprises and having
several interesting minor adventures. lhey
left Terraceia on their way back to Cedar
Key week ago Sunday. At 10 o'clock of
the following day their boat capsized while
speeding before l2-knot breeze The acct
dent was caused by the breaking OF the
mast, which parted near the saddle.
NARROW ESCAPES.
AS the yawl overturned the sheet caught
around Mr.. Ponds neck, dragging him into
the water and almost strangling him. He
barely succeeded in reaching the capslzed
boat, on which he found his companion, who
also had narrowly escaped drowning. They
foated for many hours on the boat, suffer
ing much from cold, hunger and
cramps. Finally the boat drifted to Sand
Key, where the castaways spent the night
An inventory brought out the fact that
they had saved only bucket of ounce
preserves and a 1,000-mile ticket of the
Florida Railway and Navigation. They
had lost two valuable guns, fishing tackle,
clothes, provisions. railway tickets,
etc. to the value of $500, and
had also lost $3.50 III cash
Tuesday noon they swan ashore from Sand
Key and ultimately made their way to
CABIN where they slept in stable, and on
the next day were guided to Clearwater,
whence they were given free passage to
Cedar Key. They arrived in Jacksonville
Sunday, and are out some $3.50 or more by
their little adventure.
