A Neglected Wife and an Abused Fe-
 male Looking for Justice.

male Looking for Justice.
 Two cases in which women were the com plainants were called before the police court this morning. The first non-support case against John Smith. Smith testified that his wife left his house last week with out any reason. She returned Saturday night, in company with policeman, but he refused to let her into the house with out having satisfactory explanation of her conduct He said he was willing to do what was right, and the case was continued for 30 days.
 The second was case of assault against Joe Mossette, good looking we'll built Frenchman. Mossette boards opposite the New England depot on Meadow street, over a resort kept by Billy" Perkins. The house is conducted by Mrs Ella Turner, and she has several female boarders, be sides a number of males. Thursday night Mossette came home drunk and after forced the door of Mrs Turner's room which was occupied by Lizzie Goldener, a rather flashing female. She objected and fight followed in which Mossette struck her on the arm He was fined $3 and costs.
 Saturday afternoon while Charles A. Colley and Sheriff Futile were driving through Pemberton street they met Mary Carolan, aged 10 with pail ssof beer. She said she got 1t Ill Patrick Malone's saloon. Colley notified Malone to come to his office and settle, but Malone refused and was brought before the police court. John Carolan, the child's father testified that he was going down town that afternoon and stopped into Malone's saloon and bought the beer and gave it to his daugh- ter, who was in front of the door, to carry home. Malone was adjudged guilty, not withstanding this evidence, and fined $50 and costs. An appeal was immediately taken

 Indianapolis has four first-class pitchers. three first-class catchers, great infield and one of the best outfelds in the country. and yet that club cannot win. Individually, it is one of the strongest teams ever organ ized, but for some reason or other it is not winning combination.

A HOUSEHOLD BUDGET.

RUSTY Ypails make ugly wounds, which If not attended to at once may cause great sui. fering, perhaps death. Smoke the wound with.wool or woolen cloth. Fifteen minutes in the srhoke will remove the worst class of inflammation.
 IT may besvorth knowing that water in which three or four onions have been boiled, applied with gliding brush to tho frames of pictures and chimney glasses, will prevent flies from lightning on them, and will mot jnre the frames.
 A.sAGERATUs foot bath is most refreshing forSstigued pedestrians or elderly persons, who can not take much exercise. To those who have an irritation o9 the skin of the feet little saferatus in the small foot-eub .wlh relieve the rash and burning almost immediately.
 SPICE salt for force-meat or stufing. Mix one-fourtb ounce each of powdered thyme, bay leaf and pepper, one-eighth ounce each of marjoram and cayenne pepper, one-half ounce each of powdered clove and nutmeg, and to every four ounces of this mixture add one ounce of salt and keep it in tight ly closed jar.
 j fEqRAIN carpets, worn beyond repair, should be cat into lengthwise strips, and woven the same as Q rag carpet. It is un- necessary to sew the ingram cuttings, weavers generally preferring to overlap the strips as they weave. Mats and carpets ss- sumo quite 8 Persian look when made in this way, and are very durable.
 THOSE who are victims to tho truth that ,"great aches from little toe-corns grow" will be glad to know that Cannabis 1ndicus and glycerine, in equal parts, painted on @ corn or bunion, and bound around with cot ton flannel moistened with few drops of the liquid, where it comes in contact with the affected parts, will soon cure the trouble some excrescenoes.
 SOME genius found that these pleasing insects can get into Q japanned tin oalke- box with ease, but can not scale the skp- pery sides and got out again. Accord ingly, he steamed some cslre, so that iss odor would attract the marauders, and placed 1t in the box. Next morning Shs box was well filled. This was repeated until the supply of reaches was sx. hausted.
 MANY woman is in Q quandary when anxious to copy some design or working pat tern. To make good copying paper the following method Is advised: Procure Q large sheet of brown wrapping paper and spread sweet oil all over 1t, sprinkling prus- sian blue over the oil. After this has stood short time the loose powder can be shaken oh The oiled side is then laid on whatever design it IS desirable to trans fer, and, with a crochetneedle, the pattern can be easily traced. The pattern from the E0Eussian blue can then be permanently TIaced On any piece of tissue paper.

JOHN SULLIVAN'S DELUSION.
An Insane Man Who Claims to own the
 arth

John Sullivan, an aged harmless insane man, was taken in charge by the police last night and sent to the town house to day. Sullivan has created a stir number of times by claiming to own the Naugatuck railroad and placing himself on the tracks to take possession of it. Lately the idea has come into his head that he owns Smiths hotel and five acres of ground around it, and the new parochial school. He said the occupants of the hotel owed two years rent, but he would settle up to June 1 for SEQ, 900 and $2O interest. While passing the school few days ago he saw some boys crawling in through broken cellar window, and getting the idea that they would do damage to the building con cluded to take possession and yesterday carted his trunk and mattress to the place The gates..he found locked, but he invoked the aid of Chief Egan to cause them to be opened. The chief persuaded him to go down stairs in the police office with him and locked him up.

MATCH HIM AGAINST TROUT.
The Reported Accident at Greystone
 Yesterday is a Fake.


 Yesterday is a Fake.
 Yesterday afternoon n half drunken laborer having the appearance of quarry man startled the occupants of the smok- ing car on the 2:42 Naugatuck train by reciting the details of horrible accident which he said occurred at Greystone on the Naugatuck road, across the river from the Plymouth quarry. He said: -Four teen kegs of powder and two gallons of oil had been set off ill blast which was to remove stone us big as car. Six tons of the stone he said fell on the top of q blacksmith shop, crushing it and killing seven men and wounding seventeen more. He had escaped only by being around the other side of the rock. He didn't want to say any more as it might go hard with hi' boss" A Thomaston gentleman listened to the whole story and afterward became too inquisitive for the man who had the hairbreadth escape, who finally refused to say anything, and this coupled with the fact that there is no Greystone in that sec ton, nor is there quarry on that side of the river, caused some doubts to be eX- pressed regarding his veracity. He wanted to fight, but no one would accommodate him, so he picked a disturbance with little German who doubted his ability to speak the German language. Before Bridgeport was reached everyone gave him the credit of being the champion liar of the state.

ing such an immense area in pine forests
as Florida offers opportunities for the pro-
duction of naval stores that are unsur-
passed. This important industry. which
embraces the production of turpentine,
rosin, pitch, and tar, has, like many other
mines of wealth in the State, remained,
until recently, undeveloped. Before the
war the capacity of the State for the pro-
duction of naval stores was practically
recognized by John Darby, Esq, and OPP
erations were commenced by him. Dur
ing the war the business languished, but
since the termination of the struggle 1t has
revived, and to-day the State takes the
lead in the produce of turpentine and
rosin. Along the lines of railroads and
convenient to other means Of transported
ton, orchards have been laid out and dis
tilleries established, and in short time
the product of the State in naval stores
promises to exceed that of all other por-
tions of the country.

FLORIDA,
Her Advantages and Resources.

Her Advantages and Resources.
1t is conceded fact that Florida has
an incompatible climate, that she is the
queen of all countries as an orange pro-
Queer, and that she offers more attrac-
tions TO the winter tourist than all the
other States But there are other attract
i've features which Florida possesses that
many of our Northern friends know moth
ingof. Florida is often spoken of as the
lovely little State" Why friends, Flor
is not as b" little" as you may think. 1t is
an indisputable fact, though you may not
be aware of it, that in square miles of
land susceptible of being profitably cult
waited, and of comfortably supporting a
dense population, Florida stands fourth
in rank of all the States. Another at
tractive feature of Florida is her wide
range of latitude, only two other States

having wider range; but both Of those
States have vast areas of treelcss plains,
and they suffer from drought and cold,
thus making Florida, with her large pro-
ductive areas, equable cline, fertile lands
and delightful breezes, stand proudly
at the head of the list And then another
feature, Florida has seacoast line that
is twice that of any other State, and her
waters, both fresh and salt, produce more
edible fish than any other. Florida
reaches three degrees nearer the
torrid zone than any other State in
the Union, and she has railroad,
the Florida Southern, with it's Southern
terminus reaching farther south than any
other, thus enabling tourists to go to the
" far south :" without leaving their own
beloved America. Florida is gently
famed by delightful Gulf breezes. All por-
tons of the State are within the influence,
more or less, of the far-famed trade winds.
Her mean atmospheric pressure is higher
than that Of any other State. No other
State has larger rainfall or one more
evenly distributed the year round. No
other State or Territory is so free from
destructive winds or deluging floods.
Snow is unknown and hail very rare.
Vegetables may be grown the year round,
and there is not a week in the year but
what the planter can work out of doors.
Cattle do not have to be housed in winter
and they feed themselves, grazing on the
rich native grasses. Florida has more
sunshiny hours during the year than any
other section. for while it rains often.
the showers are soon over and sunlight
follows close after the cloud. Florida
is also provided with excellent no.
tells, good railroad facilities, churches,
schools, manufacturing enterprises, ETC.,
and to the pleasure seeker, the health seek
er, the home seeker or the money seeker
she offers wide range of inducements.
Florida offers great variety of scenic
beauty-the wide sweep of green prairies
in the far South, the lovely lakes and
magnificent orange groves Of the orange
belt, the beauties of the Gulf coast and
of the Atlantic coast, the extensive and
valuable timbered lands of West Florida,

to say that it has done much valuable
service Under the present management,
enlarged in form, reduced in price-ONE

the FLoR1D1AN up to it's past high stand
ard and as far as is in our power-with
the assistance Of it's liberal patrons-to
ste adily improve it.

the magnificent red clay hills, beautiful
LeConte pear orchards, immense tobacco
fields etc., of Middle Florida and the Tai
lahassee Country, &C., &c. These are
few of the attractions and advantages OF
Florida. She has many others that we
have not mentioned, but those that we
have referred to are not overdrawn and
all who come to see for themselves will
find Florida all we have said and more.
While we are on this subject we wish
to say something of Florida's annual
productions Don't think, friends, that
because Florida is known as the Cor
ange State" that she does not produce
anything else. She does, and every year
she is adding to the list. We have
carefully prepared table showing some
Of Florida's annual productions and their
cash value. The amounts are taken from
statistical reports and the list does not
include one-half of what Florida really
produces and annually sells, but what
we give are sufficient to tbow that Flor
ida has many other money crops be-
sides oranges and cotton.
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1888-09-28

Total cash value of these products ..$44, FAC, 900
In addition to the above, is the phosphate
and the tobacco industries, both of which
are yet in their infancy, bringing in annu-
ally thousands of dollars. Then, again,
we ship quantities of eggs, wool, beeswax,
tallow, ETC., which adds largely to our
annual income. We also produce some
wheat, rye, barley, broom corn, hops,
clover, onions, sisal grass, and numerous
other things that their share to
our annual income, which would make
the total much larger than we give above.
In the table above it will be seen that
we have placed the annual product of SUI
gar and syrup at $25o,OOO. This is a low
estimate, and in this connection we will
state that the St. Cloud Sugar works, re-
Gently established near Kissimmee, will
market this year fully 100000 worth of
sugar-twice the amount that we have
placed the entire crop at-and all through
the list it will be found that our figures
are equally low.
Now, friends, this is no highly colored
statement intended to deceive and lead
you aetray, but is simple putting TO-
gether of few facts and figures which
we would like you to read carefully-then
come to Florida and verify the facts.
You will be welcomed, and will find many
openings for profitable Investments. q
beautiful State, hospitable people, and
room sufficient to make comfortable homes
