A Sudden Death.

Mr.. William r. Barnes, who has for the past
month been experimenting the operations of the
Tallahassee Gas and Electric Light Company,
went to his work last Thursday morning at the
usual hour, we'll and hearty.
While unloading brick from fats on side
track at the site of the company's building, one
of the cars rolled away toward the main track,
and in getting it back Mr.. Barnes became over
heated from unusual exertion, drank freely Of
cold water, which brought on paralysis of the
heart, from which he died about 1915 o'clock.
DR.. Z. 3. Grill walked down there about 8
o'clock, and finding Mr.. Barnes feeling badly,
assisted him into a wagon. and accompanied him
to his room 10 the Clark building, when DR.. &.
H Gwynn was called in. and everything possible
was done for the sufferer, but he died in a little
while.
Mr.. Barnes was about sixty years of age a
citizen of New York, and without family. The
body was embalmed by Dr.. Gwynn, while
awaiting instructions from the brother, who was
promptly notified by telegraph. the funeral
services, on Friday, we're conducted by Rev. Mr..
Richardson pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
and deceased was buried in City Cemetery, with
Masonic honors. by Jackson Lodge No. L.

There has been Organized The Colored Dem
ocratic Club of Leon County Florida" and.
from what we learn, there will probably be
other Colored Democratic Clubs organized in
Leon county before the campaign closes As
the New Orleans Hicayune says. il would be
strange indeed if the negro, after a quarter Of
century of citizenship and freedom, had not ac-
quired some notion of political independence
and some desire to consult his own interests in
his party affiliations. This he has done and is
doing, as the world lie beginning to learn
The following is the Constitution of the above
Club:
Where0s Ii has been demonstrated to us by
time, experience and observation that the well
fare OF the colored people OF Leon county de-
ponds in great measure upon the elevation to
political power of the Democratic party, which
is composed largely Of men with whom we have
dealt from childhood, and to whom we have
ever had to look for the substantial benefits of
life, and to whom We must in the future look to
wisely and economically conduct our affairs so as
to increase our educational facilities, and in 9TH
er respects aid US on to prosperity, to cause
US in the near future to be more respected for our
understanding and higher regard for the laws of
God and man, which we could never expec.
from continued Republican ascendancy, as the
result OF our observation is that have ever
been left in bad and unprosperous condition in
those places where Republicans have ruled, and
when at last they were forced to surrender 10
the Democrats, that our people have invariably
been bettered, which is illustrated very fOrcibly
in this county, as well as in other parts of the
State, from the fact that we have accumulated
more property 10 the last few years, under State
Democratic government, than We have ever be-
fore done; therefore, be it
hSsOtced, 1st. That we hereby constitute and
organize this as " The Colored Democratic Club
Of Leon County, Florida"
I'd. That our eXertOns will he for the success
of the Democratic party.
Sd. That we will peaceably and quietly en-
deavor to place before our people the great ends
aimed at by this party, and through that means
increase our membership to the largest number
possible
4th. That our standard bearers shall be the
nominees OF the Democratic conventions.

Many Tallahaaseesns remember With ple.snre
having made the acquainsancs Of Mr. Charles
" merriam, Of Chicago, who. with his wife,
we're guests Of tho Leon last winter. Mr. Mer-
ram was In Tallahassee season before last, in
duced many Chicagoans 70 visit tallahassee the
past winter, and has in moro ways than one
manifested deep interest IN our city and its
iotore Being particularly interested in q water
supply, he writes u as follows:
CHICAGO, May IA, 1888.
=. DEAR SIR-Since left Tallahassee, the last of
march, have looked carefully through the
Items in the FLoRIDIAN, expecting TO see
tnat something had been done towards giving
your city water supply by 40 artesiau well. I
spent some time in Tallahassee the past two
winters. In my opinion the great drawb back to
your ciiys growth has been the lack OF water
Asa well wieher to your city (which
might oe made the loveliest place In all Florida)
made known my willingness 10 aid your peo-
pie Dv making subscription to an artesian well
enterprise, said well TO be located in any part of
the city that would be, in the npinion Of your
citizens, the best place for It. l also induced
some other Chicago subscriptions to this object
IL now occurs to me that in case the people of
Tallahassee wish TO make your city Q winter re-
sort for Chicagoans the first aud necessary thing
70 DO Is to give your guests u supply OF pure ar.
te' ian well water, and not use water from cis-
terms
This may seem small matter to your people,
but other cities in Florida land in the South,
have given this matter great deal of attention,
and AM the result has been that large numbers of
northern tourists have gone to such places, have
purchased property in such places, and have
added very materially TO the growth and ad-
vancement OF towns which give good water from
artesian wells, instead of cisterns
You will remember that was instrumental.
IN limited way, in bringing some people to
Tallahassee last winter who had never visited
your city before. All who went there on my
recommendation were more than pleased with
the Floral City" but they do not like cistern
water, however good it may be, and if your peo-
pie desire 10 make Tallahassee an exceedingly
favorable winter resort, the thing most needed is
an ample supply of good pure artesian water
You will pardon 80 long letter from a COM
parative stranger but, at the same time, you will
please accept my thanks for the many kind
courtesies shown me, not only by yourself. but
by all the people Of Tallahassee whom had the
pleasure OF meeting. l am yours very truly,

Altogether the outlook was never so
bright for the Democracy. VIVA: Mr..
Cleveland won by the skin of his teeth
four years ago. he ought to win this tall
