The Questions Asked Editor Orr.

Editor Morning Ne'os The following
extract is taken from the local columns of
the MORNING NEWS of yesterday, and may,
if uncontradicted lead the public to form
an erroneous opinion of what actually took
place before the grand jury of the city
court:
William Orr, editor of the hdepend emit,
WIGS recently before the superior court
grand jury, and knew nothing of the facts
in the case. Before tho city court grand
jury yesterday he was equally as ignorant
of detail, and when the court compelled
him to divulge the author of the criticism,
he said it was A n. Manucv."
| have never been before the superior
court grand jury in connection with this
or any other case. Only three questions
were asked, viz: Are you the edi-
tor and publisher of the hide
pendentT' Are you responsible for
what appears in it's columns?" "Do you
know the author of the article referred
TOT" To the first two | answered, yes; to
the third, | objected, and refused to answer
on the ground that unless the solicitor gen
eral was prepared to make specific charge,
| was not compelled to answer, and insisted
on a ruling by Judge Harden in open
court OF course, after Judge Harden's
ruling, gave the name Cf the author. |
will further state that believe that, as was
subpnnaed 10 testify in the case OF the state
against James Black, for lnisdemeanor ian
imaginary indivlduaD, | could not have
been compelled to give evidence as to the
authorship of the article which appeared In
the Independent. II was quite unnece ,sarv
to set up fictitious case to secure my at
tendance. A verbal request, or a subpoena
based on facts, would have answered all
purposes. VIM. ORR.

She Belonged to the Orange Peel Club
ELnLl I'M - EnlLL Dlnneel- P,nss.

A trim-lookng young woman, who looked
something like a Sunday school teacher, was
seen going along the sidewalk the other day
carefully removing the banana skins that
obstructed the way She did not appear to
do this because of any interest in the prop
erty along there, but simply out of philan-
thropy, for banana skin, as everybody
knows who has tried it, is far from nice
thing to step upon.
Inquiry Of gentleman who addressed
the young woman and seemed TO know her,
developed the fact that she is member of
an organization known as the "Orange Peel
Club This club undertakes not only to
remove orange psels on the sldewalk-which
gives 1t its name-but other similar obstruc-
tons And the members not only engage
TO do this small act of philanthropy, but to
themselves refrain from such little thought

HOW JACKSONVILLE LIKES 1T.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. THE
republicans here were somewhat aston
ished this morning to hear of the
nomination of V. j. Shipman of Lawtey
and II. w. Chandler, the colored state sena-
tor from Marion county, for governor and
secretary Of state respectively. Several Of
Thorn spoke. very highly of them both, and
claimed that Col. Snipman would be a
strong candidate. Others knew very little
of him, and were astonished and somewhat
perplexed over the result, which, it seems,
is very different from the programme -ar-
ranged by the Duval county leaders. AS a
business man Col. Shipman is we'll known
in Jacksonville and has many friends He
came TO Florida from Iowa ten years ago,
and settled ut Lawtey. He is about A.
years old, blunt, energetic and very enter
prising in his commercial affairs.
