EDITOR MARTINS FUNERAL.
Attended by large crowd of people, in
cluding the Jacksonville Press Club and the
employees of the Times Union, Edwin Mar
tin was this morning laid to rest. Many
sincere and sorrowful friends were there,
but of his own dear ones all were away.
The death bed scene was particularly sad.
Thoroughly unconscious and delirious he

issue orders as to what matter should go in
the paper, where it should be placed, etc.
So charged was his mind, at the time of bis
decease, with the responsible duties of his
position, he died truly at his post Of duty.
His death puts Mr.. F. w. Hawthorne in
charge of that paper temporarily at least.
A beautiful floral cross, sent by the en-
ploYes of the Times Union, lay upon the
casket Rt. Rev. Edwin G. Weed, bishop
of the Episcopal diocese of Florida, read
the -ervice of the church All the attaches
of the Times Union establishment, some
sixty in number, representing the editorial,
business and mechanical departments, at
tended in a body, wearing badges of mourn
ing. Representatives of the Masonic bodies,
knights of Honor. Jacksonville Press Club,
and large concourse of citizens and friends
followed the remains to the place of inter
ment in the city cemetery. The Times
Union office was closed for two hours dur
ing the funeral ceremonies. The pail
bearers were: w. r. Carter, editor of the
Metropolis; Col. Whitfield Walker, b. F.
Dillon, Florida superintendent of the West
tern Union Telegraph Company; C. H. Berg
and +. w. Hawthorne. The funeral ar
rangements were in charge of the secret
societies and T. L. Stockton, business man
ager of the Times Union.
The rains here have ceased and the air is
just cool enough to be pleasant and invigor-
ating. 1t is thought that Virgins prophecy
about frost by Oct. 9 is not going to
materialize.
All the police force, except four, have had
the fever Among those who have escaped
so far are Chief Hoey and Officer Peters.
There are no discouraging reports among
the yellow fever patients to-day. All the
patients of the Red hospital" at the corner
of Cedar and Monroe streets are GONZALES
cent, thanks to the motherly care of the
kind hostess, Mrs. Randall.
UNDER THE BAN.
Some discoveries have been made in re-
gard to the electropoise cure treatment that
have aroused the Indignation of the board
of health, and that body will take some
steps soon in reference to the matter.
The physicians in their long rounds make
strange discoveries and witness many unex-
pected scenes. DR.. Porter, in company
with DR.. Clay, visiting doctor from
Texas, were driving by house out of town
yesterday when they heard cries issuing
from it, and, as a matter of course, went in.
They found the household to consist of two
female nurses and two convalescent
patients, a man and his wife, both of
whom were fighting drunk. The man
was in the violent stage of
inebriety and was threatening nurse. At
this moment DIR. Porter coolly stepped in
between the two, when the man became
very abusive to him and half drew pistol
from his pocket. At this stage DIR. Clay,
being a Texan and so probably not new to
such scenes, quickly turned his belt around
in front so that his own pistol was in view.
At the sight of that the drunken bully
quieted down instantly. 1t is needless to
say that both nurses were removed in
stantly.
William Barnes of the National Bank of
the State of Florida is at T. T.. Stockton's
residence at Panama quite ill of yellow
fever.
RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE.
Another death from reckless imprudence
occurred to-day, that of T. M. Smith of
Tiffin, or Cleyeland, o. He came here in
the midst of the epidemic to prospect the
state, but of course could not get from this
city to any other part of the state. DIR.
Kenworthy and others advised him to re-
turn home, for his sons sake at least whom
he had brought with him. All entreaties were
unavailing and the unfortunate nan hired
boat in which he and his son fished by day
and slept at night down the river between
here and Mayport The country people
would not allow them to go ashore. The
sequel is already guessed. The older Smith
took the fever, returned to this city and died
to-day.

posed Of j. n. c. Stockton, DIR. Henry Rob
lnson, w. A. Mclean, F. W. Mumby, DR..

3 j. Temple, Of Temples mill, is said to

danger. Temples mill is situated two miles
north OF Starke, and is guarded by armed
men, who allow no one to enter or leave the
temple premises. All persons who have
