After a long illness, Judge William Morrow
died at his home on Saturday last and was
buried III the city cemetery on Christmas
day. At the advanced age of almost 80
years he passed from the stage OF action not
leaving n single stain on the bright path
that ne left behind"
Lakeland CRACKER: Several young gentle
men, all Sunday school scholars, went to
the country a few days since to get a few
oranges, and, finding 10 one at the grove,
they proceeded to help themselves They
only took a few" having only a one-horse
wagon, and when they were ready to come
home they started on a run-they
did not feel guilty-merely ran
to keep warm just at this iunct-
ure, the owner appeared, and when he be
gan to sprinkle buckshot around that crowd
they made Maud $. ashamed of herself.
Arriving in the city. some one told them
the Marshal was on their track, but $40
from each Of them woud settle the trouble.
1t was pitiful TO see those kids hustling
around TO raise the wind.n II took all they
could raise to pay up, and when, several
days after Christmas they found the Mar
shall had nothing to do with it, they were
the worst sold crowd you ever saw.
j. O. Donald, John Crowley, Joseph Mad
den, Paul Johnsou and Patrick McCue saw
an advertisement in the New York World
that five boys were wanted for Florida.
Upon application to A. Il. KING, of 212
Sixth avenue, New York and upon the
payment of SO each and Sl5 further for
tickets they were given letters to the pro
prietors of the ST James Hotel at Jackson
vile, guaranteeing them employment as
bell boys at SlS per month. Upon applica-
ton to the proprietor they were informed he
had already employed bell boys, and had
sent no order to King for any kind of help
whatsoever. Then Donald and his compan
ions perceived that they had been grossly
swindled, and Immediately went to MIR
Depple, Of the Florida employment agency,
of | = w Bay street jacksonville, branch
of Kings New York bureau, and demanded
a return of the money paid King They
were told that he had nothing TO do with
King, and had only sent him an order for
Mattresses but he, however, to get rid OF
the boys, gave each of them 81 - to depart
for the Ancient City where they obtained
employment at barely living wages. Donald
and johnson have purchased tickets for
New York, and will put the matter in the
hands of Inspector Byrnes upon their ar
rival there.
