The Transportation Question.

Inc transportation Question.
Your editorial OF March 9Th, ''Things to
Consider" finds many responses here on
Indian River, where our experience is the
same as yours. only little more SO.
have myself this past winter had my
oranges take fourteen days to reach
Philadelphia after / saw them leave Titus
vile. One-third of them were reported
rotten on arrival. May 9Th l shipped
twenty crates of tomatoes from here to
Palmer, of New York. May l 1th he wrote
me they were selling at 81 percrate; May
14th mine arrived and sold at $3.50.
These things combined with excessive
charges, take all the profit off our fruit
and vegetables. And, in spite of the fact
Mr. IngTaham wrote me last year that
there would be no more delay in transit,
as thereafter the time from Sanford to
New York would beabout forty six hours.
So far as South Florida is concerned it
will always be SO as long as we depend
upon the present lines of transportation
There is little or no competition, and we
need not expect anything better from
them. The attempt of the Plant System
to gobble up everything in South Florida
will naturally result in indigestion and
confusion.
But as regards shipments to the great
Eastern markets South Florida has the
remedy in her own hands, and can easily
obtain a short, direct line, quick time,
and low rates to New York, etc., and the
active competition. while diminishing the
shipments over existing lines, will greatly
improve the service on them
Twenty-Five miles southeast of Titus
vile, the terminus of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railway, in the
Blight of Canaveral, under the lee of the
cape and shoals, is the only safe deep
water harbor on the coast of South Flor
ida. There is forty feet of water, and an
anchorage sheltered on every side except
the southeast. where a vsssel can lay at
anchor any day in the year and take on
or discharge freight, eXceptln asOutheast
storm. Five regular lines of steamers
and many tramps ply between New York
and the Gulf ports and an average of one
and sometimes two steamers per day each
way pass in sight of Canaveral. Atpresent
these are cut off from any share in the
Florida fruit trade and travel, but if an

without going too far out of their way
they will actively competitor it, To touch
at Canaveral both ways will only put
them a few miles out of their course. and
cost them very little in either time or ex-
pense, while the receipts from passengers
and freight will be almost net profit.
To build twenty-five miles of road and
the necessary pier, and connect the rail

road system of Florida at Titusville with
these steamers the Canaveral and South
Florida Railroad Company has been char
tered. The road has been located, and
cost estimated at $38O,OOO to complete
and equip it, the principal items being the
bridge over Indian River and the iron
ocean pier.
The steamship companies have been
consulted and are ready to touch at
Canaveral whenever sufficient freight is
offered to justify it. The project has been
laid before capitalists who are able to
build it, and they think well of it. The
only question is as toTwhether theproduc-
tion of Indian River alone is yet large
enough to pay 5 per cent. on the invest
ment, and no one knows what to count
on from the interior.
BY this route the time from Titusville
to New York would be about three days.
Passenger fare, about 500; freight on or
anges, etc., about 25 cents per box
truck, II cents per bushel crate. AS there
would be daily steamers Zone line is tri-
weekly there would be no delays; no side
tracking and lying on the wharves, and
passengers from the North would reach
Orlando, Tampa, etc., while they are now
getting to Jacksonville.
AS soon as the route is open the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company will
build from Orlando to Titusville. The
South Florida Railway will extend the
Lake Jessup branch to Titusville A rail
road will be built from Daytona along
the Trumbull hammock to Titusville, and
when the road from Macon reaches Pa
latka if the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West Railway does not afford proper fa-
cilities, the pushing men of Palatka will
soon have another road, via DeLand, to
Titusville.
Now if the people of Volusia, Orange,
Lake, Hillsborough, Polk and Osceola,
and especially the progressive cities of
DeLand, Sanford, Orlando, Apopka, Kis-
simmee, Tavares, Leesburg, Barlow and
Tampa, will give us their sympathy and
their Eastern shipments, we will soon
open the new route and guarantee them
quick time and low rates.
Reliable assurances of say 100000
boxes of oranges and 100000 crates of
truck per annum from the interior would
enable us to build the Canaveral and
South Florida Railroad at once. BeIiev-
ing that you are actively interested in
the welfare of South Florida, and will see
the advantages to be derived by it from
having a coast outlet Of it's own, respect

likeness is a Dangerous Fault

In the kidneys When inactive they
 speedily fall into despair. Those ob-
 stinate and fatal maladies, Bright's
 disease and diabetes, ensue with terri
 ble certainty upon the inaction of the
 organs affected. Catarrh of the blad- der, enuresis, gravel and strangury are also to be apprehended from partial
 paralysis of the bladder. of which
 weakness and sluggishness are the causes. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a fine tonic and promoter of activity for the renal organs, and one which can be relied upon to afford them the requisite stimulus without exciting them-an effect to be feared from the unmedicated alcoholic excitant of A further benefcent effect of the Bitters, by renewing activity of the kidneys, is to enable them to drain from the blood in its passage through them, impurities productive of rheum- atism and dropsy. Nervousness, fever and ague, constipation and dyspepsia are conquered by tbe Bitters.

Married.

William Kieke and Miss Minnie
 Rafierty were married at o'clock last
 Sunday afternoon, according to the
 ritual of the Roman Catholic church, at the residence of the brides mother, on Fifth street. The ceremony was
 strictly private, only the relatives and few intimate friends of the young couple being present. Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple departed for San Francisco, going to Fairbank by private conveyance, sew eral wedding guests escorting them to that station. The wedding presents were numerous and costly. The bride is we'll known in this city, where she has resided for many years, and is one of society's most charming belles. The groom is one of the firm of Sydow Kieke, of this city, and is well known throughout the county as young man of sterling qualities and excellent business qualifications. They will visit in California about month. The DAILY EPITAPH joins with the en- tire city in wishing the newly married pair an unusual share of the worlds sweets without any of its bitterness.
