Col. j. j. DANIEL, president of the aux
iliary association, and one of the most
prominent men of this city, died at 9 o'clock
tonight. Jacksonville will be in mourning
tomorrow.
He was native Of South Carolina, but
had been resident of Florida for over forty
years At the time Of his death he was
president of the auxiliary committee of the
Citizens Sanitary Association. He had a
very bad attack during Monday night, in
which absolute heart failure seemed immi-
nent, and he was kept alive only by stimu-
lants. To-day he did not seem weaker than
yesterday. He recognized his physician
this morning, and called him by name. This
was regarded as the most hopeful sign in
the previous forty-eight hours.
DR. CARR's VISIT TO swEETwATER.
DR.. Carr, one of the volunteer physi-
clans who recently went on the Jackson
vile and st. Augustine railway to visit the
Ingram family who are sick at Sweetwater
station, says that all along the line of rail
road shocks made of pine burrS and mud,
the shelters used by the negro hands when
building railroads, could be seen. These
shocks were occupied by white refugees who
with terrified and hungry expressions on
their faces, watched the engine as it flew by
on its errand of mercy. There must be

many no doubt will die of exposure before
they return to the city. At one place the
doctor saw an improvised barber shop in
the woods composed of a solitary beer keg.
On this relic sat man with his face lathered
with soap, while above him lowered a
fellow refugee fiourishing a razor, which
probably was the only instrument OF its
kind for miles around.
BAY STREET LIvELIER.
Bay street presents a livelier appearance
now than for several weeks past.
Rev. w. H. Dodge was out for short
time Yesterday for the first time since be
was prostrated with fever.
In the future all those people who have
had the fever will be detained only three
days at Camp Perry.
Fire Chief Peter Jones is acting chair
man of the sanitary committee during the
illness Of DR.. j. G. LiEngle.
Yesterday was the day upon which the
public schools in the county were to have
opened, but it will be some time yet before
they are opened, perhaps not until De
cember.
Several parties report seeing a light fros
yesterday morning on the low, damI
grounds in this vicinity. A good white
frost just now would be worth millions tx
Jacksonville.
The banks of the city were closed to-day
from 10 to II O'clock in respect to the mem
ory of Cashier w. N. Baker.
EAGER FOR COLD WEATHER.
Probably overcoats and extra wraps wert
never donned with more satisfaction anC
alacrity than is the case this year. They
we're needed last night for comfort.
Some people seem to doubt the fact tha
saw frost yesterday morning" said Alder
man Boyd to-day TO the NEWS correspond

the edge of town. You will see that they
have all their outer bark, if one might cal
il so, skinned by the frost. See here
