Notwithstanding the poor accommoGa-

account of incompletion, the Atlantic
Opera House h as not failed to attract at
tention of many strong popular troupes,
beside a sconstant patronage from the
Daytona Dramatic Club, which will
place various styles of drama upon the
stage when not occupied by travelling
companies. While the home club is
preparing operas and plays for entertain
ment of the near future, Daytonians
will be treated to an elaborate comic
opera, to be rendered Friday and Satur-
day next, by twenty skilled and talented
artists composing the Templeton Com
pany. Since thes Dixie performance,
work on the hall has been pushed rapidly
and with rome slight change from
the original design. The main en-
trance having been moved south of
the former location, which removes
any confusion from its proximity
to the stage and affords greater pri-
vacy to persons entering. All care has
been used by Mr.. Thompson and the
lessees of the theater to perfect the stage
arrangement, and construct an auditor
ium with fine acoustic properties. These
studious efforts from appearances are
crowned with success, when we realize
that our opera house though far from
completion draws to it troupes whose
talent would do credit to larger cities.

OcALA, FLA, February 7.-Particu-
lars have just reached here of a
romantic elopement on the east side of
the Ocklawaha River. Mr. Eddie Tuck
er had long been enamored of lovely
Holly, but the older heads were averse
to their union and the young people
languished alone and apart, until at the
wee small honrs of night Miss Holly
lowered herself to the ground from a
second story window of her home and
her prison, and walked boldly forth into
the night in search of her pining woer.
After mile and half she took up at
the home of Mr.. Tucker, who speedily
arranged team and they set out to find
parson ere the dawn should re-
veal their plot. With only them
selves and their affections to
cheer them on a midnight drive, they
finally reached Parson B. j. Hulrs, a
distance of eight miles, only to find the
parson out. Nothing daunted, they con-
tinued the drive eight miles further to

Judge John F. Donall, United States
Collector for the port of Cedar Key, in

view with Gen. Anderson, New York
capitalist, and Mr.. Chapel, an English
man of untold wealth, and that they
had recently been over proposed route
for ship canal from the st. Johns
River to Cedar Key, and We're favorably
impressed with the project. They now
have the matter under serious consider
alton, and estimates will be made soon,
which will probably result in the inau-
guration of positive measures IN regard to
taking up the work and pushing it to as
early completion as practical.

Mr.. II. w. Eaton has had constructed
a novel conveyance in which to go ice
fishing, and passed through town with
it Tuesday afternoon. II is equipped
with stove, hunks, furniture, rugs, camp
utensils, and all the essentials and many
of the luxuries of life. The windows slide
up and down. and when the occupants
wish, the vehicle can be closed tight
enough to defy the severest storm. 1t is
not even necessary for the driver to be
outside, as the reins can be passed
through a narrow slit in the front.
''Solid comfort is the trite phrase by
which it can be best described. 1t is
adorned, as to the exterior, with extra
thills, snowshoes. axes, brooms. and a
lantern, and makes brave show. 1t is

its position. and two smart horses are
the propelling power. Mr.. Eaton and
three companions started this morning

THE METROPOLITAN BANK.
President Means arrested -vice-Presidens De-
Camp BaiIed

CINCINNATI. February THE Metro
politan National Bank is in the hands OF
Bank Examiner Sanders. Vice-Presi-
dent DeCamp to-day gave ban IN S2o,U
President Means was arrested at noon,
charged with violating the National
Banking law. Means arrest creates a
profounder sensation than anything that
has previously happened. His character
has stood so high that the announcement
of his arrest was scarcely credited.
Means has held a leading position among
business men for a number of years, has
been reputed quite wealthy, and
served term as mayor, when he
was elected, not by party vote,
but by combination whose
support was compliment to their can
didates. To have a man of such proml-
nence put in peril of Imprisonment
causes a profound feeling. There is
fairly well authenticated statement that
the examination of the banks books and
papers show a gross violation of the
Banking law in loans to officers and others
connected with the bank very largely in
excess of the limit allowed by law to
any one. 1t it possible that this wrong
doing NAV have been carried to such an
extent as to imperil the bank 5 solvency.
The warrant was issued this morning,
but was not served in the usual manner,
out of regard for Means. District At
torney Burnett notified him after IL
O'Clock of the issuance of the writ and
arranged for Means to go voluntarily
with his bondsmen to the commissioner
office at o'clock.
President Means appeared this after
noon at the Office of United States Com
missioner Dorger, with Henry Hanna,
Patrick E. Roach, and C. NJ. Holloway,
as sureties, and gave bond for his appear
ance in $4,000. The charge against him
in the warrant is misrepresentation of
upwards of 100000 of the funds of the
bank. An evening paper publishes an
interview with E. l.. Harper, in which
he saws he knew last summer that the
banks stock was being used as collat-
eral on loans for the purpose of spec
ulation in real estate. He added
that bank examiner who knew how to
examine could have discovered that
then. In his opinion nine-tenths of the
bankers of the country could be put in
prison to-day for technical violation of
the law, as he had been.
The United States grand jury has been
dismissed for week to enable the Dis
trict Attorney to prepare the Metropoli-
tan case.
The indictment against w. II. Chat
field, late director in the Fidelity Bank,
was nolle pressed to-day. 1t was the
same as that against Pogue.

FOUL WATER.
Several Crews Of Vessels Sick from Water Fur
nished in Philadelphia

nished in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. February THE CAP
tain and crew of the ship Standard,
bound for San Francisco and now lying
at the old navy yard, have been quench-
ing their thirst with foul water and are
now all seriously i'll. Heavy ice in the
Delaware River had detained the ship
and the men probably owe their lives to
this circumstance. The tank in the
ships hold, which has a capacity of
$500 gallons, was filed about ten days
ago, when the vessel was expected to
sail The contract for filling the tank
was made with waterman who was to
draw his supply from the city mains.
Instead of doing so he filled the tank
from water in the dock.
A big sewer empties its stream of filth
into the river at the dock where the YES
sci was lying and the crew have been
drinking this foul water for the past ten
days. All the men are now sick and
Capt Percy and his family are the
greatest sufferers. The captains daugh-
ter is i'll with fever. The illness of the
crew was reported to Health Officer Pat
terson, who made an investigation and
found that foul drinking water was at
the bottom of the trouble. Analysis of
the water showed that it contained 30
per cent. of poisonous matter, and the
health officers said that had the ship
gone to sea all hands would have per-
ished. The tank has been emptied and
cleared.
Capt. Percy was not on board the ship
when the tank was filled and did not
know that river water had been used.
The crew of the ship Rialto, also at the
old navy yard, are sick, apparently from
the same cause. The bark Lady Nairn,
which sailed two weeks ago, is at Della
ware Breakwater, her crew being sick
and unable to go to sea. 1t is said that
the sickness has been caused by drinking
foul water Health Officer Patterson
to-day officially called the attention of
the board of health to the matter, and
further investigation will be made Oy
that body.

SHIELDS CIRCUS.
They Will Perform Only Twice More in

Shields great circus opened last night
in this city to big and appreciatiye
audience. This show, which has been
performing in Palatka for the last two
days, has proved to be all that is repre-
sented. The three Power brothers in
their famous bicycle riding and skating
are unexcelled and are alone fully worth
the admittance fee, while Harry Bran
don gracefully executed wonders in the
flying rings and in his complicated con-
tortion acts. Among many other inter-
esting features of this we'll conducted
circus is the slack wire walk
ing by Miss Laura Shields and
the tight wire performance bv
Master Shields. Too much cannot be
said in behalf of Messrs. Charles and
Edward Kennard in their comical clown
acts. Their constant jokes and wiiticism
furnished great merriment for the audi
ence and called forth peals of laughter
from all sides. This show wiz give onlv
two more entertainments here-this
afternoon and evening. In the morning
at 10 O'Clock they will parade the streets
in full dress. Mr.. Howard EbeIy, the

1NTERLAcHEN, February 4.
A meeting of the citizens interested in
the growth and welfare of Interlachen
and vicinity was held this evening, and
the organization of the Board of Trade
was completed by adopting constitu-
ton and bylaws and electing officers for
carrying out the work. A principle OBJ
ject is to induce new emigration from
the North. particularly that class who
desire to become permanent residents
and especially those who will invest
capital and energy in business enter
prises, for upon this depends the future
of Florida. Many opportunities exist
here for labor and capital: they go hand
in hand here, each working to mutual
advantage that need never be disturbed.
We claim Interlachen most desirable
locality for either health, pleasure or
business, and in our new undertaking TO
increase population, we hope to have
the hearty cooperation of our Palatka
friends.
Several sales of lots were made this
week to parties who will improve
immediately. Our prospects for
advancement were never better than
now. Hotels are filling up, the vacant
houses opened and everybody happy.

WASHINGTON, February 7.-The dele
CATION of citizens of Mobile, headed by
Capt. Bush, which has already ap-

that committee abandon the old plan for
the improvement of Mobile harbor and
proceed to carry out the scheme laid out
by Major Damrell two years ago, which
contemplates an ultimate expenditure of
81, 500, 900. This plan involves the deep
ening and widening of the present chan
mel to depth of twenty-eight feet and a
width of 800 feet. With a channel of
these dimensions the delegation repre-
scented to the committee that the present
necessity that vessels are under of COM
pleting their cargoes below the city
would be obviated, and the price of
coal from the interior of Alabama be re-
duced to S7.16 per ton.
