which had been deposited in the safe in en-
velopes Is as overlooked by the thief

Otlt ulEub ltiSL week Tue store an q STOCK
OF p. i. Bird Of DriftOn were consumed by
fire The Montice 10 Tribune SAYS that
during the burning Of the store the family
all rushed to the fire, leaving the residence
unprotected. In their abSence some one
entered the residence and opened some
trunks, but was frightened way before
securing any valuables. Mr.. Birds loss by
fire was about $500, with no insurance He
had just opened business, aud all his stock
had not arrived. A box car was standing
on the track near the sore, and was also
burned The fire was evidently the work
Of an incendiary.
The question Of the eligibility of Col. E.
c. Morgan Of Orange county TO member
ship Of the legislature has recently been
raised. At the time of his election he was
serving as ju tice of the peace, which office
be could not hold and at the same time be
eligible 70 another. His successor to the
Office Of justice was elected at the same time
that Col. Morgan was elected to the legisla-
ture, and his term Of office as justice must
necess trily expire when his successor is
elected and qualified All this having oc-
CURED, he is no longer justice of the
peace, and therefore there will be no legal
obstacle IN the way when the time comes
for him to qualify as a legislator. Col.
Morgan is elig ble.
Charles c. Linze-, who died at Seville,
Fla, Saturday, was bora in Plainfiell, n.
j., in 1854. He received a serious injury in
July last while engaged in erecting a large
building IN Savannah, Ga, for Hammond
& Hull. He was superintending the work,
and was hurt by a large piece Of timber
falling on him, which struck his shoulder
and broke his collar-boue. After a few
weeks Of illness he resumed his work, vhic !
unt1rtuuat ly for him was too soon, for he
was compelled TO take his bed again. He
continued TO grow worse till MS wound
showed 1t had taken effect in his lungs, and
soon developed into a severe type of con-
sumption. He was he first to die of IA n
ily OF several children. and leaves a father
and mother, brothers and sis ers.
At a late hour Sunday night or early
Mo day morling the safe at the South
Florida railroad depot, at Winter Park, was
blown open aud its contents stol IN. Luckily,
out SIG was IN the safe at the time. The
damage b tha Office, however, s quite seri-
Gus, the wind d)ws aud ticket racks having
been blown 20 pieces and the building other
wiss damaged The burglar drilled hole
in the top Of the safe and then poured
powder into it, placing sacks of oats and
other grain around the safe To deaden the
sound Of the explosion. Winter Park is
unfortunate with regard to burglarious
blasting Of safes, as but a year or so ago
the safe IN the pCStofiice at that place was
burst open by means of explosives and its
contents stolen, the robber at that time
being more fortunate in his haul, getting
about $500
