Other Places Besides South Florida.
You can't think how glad | am you
left off that ''y' in your Ocala announce
ment. [ am not envious, nor vindictive,
but did enjoy that slip. When read
SO many letters from your Eastand South
Florida correspondents, filed with Flor
ida as it is in their own localities, and
usually asserting that all parts and
places of Florida are just like that, 7
feel like those people outside.that "eight-
mile radius" where nine-tenths of the
oranges grow. They know it is mis-
take, but they also know that everybody
who reads or may read the paper is not
SO well posted as themselves, and may
believe that Ocala and it's immediate
vicinity is the only place to grow oranges
to perfection. Now over here in West
Florida, when we read such assertions
] have referred to,-sandy sea', scorchlng
sandeu, what WIN s5rUw cm2 "91pS " ndaSG az VIZ IL
not, and all that,-I feel like saying 81
know better" that is not a fair state
ment. Tt is one-sided and sectional.
There is a very different side OF the State
from that, just as those outside orange
men have doubtless felt and said. 1t is
not often would like to belong to the
masculine side of the house, but if did
just now, / would show the people who
come to Ocala that there is "sOme more"
Florida that they know very little about.
[ would not care if it is pomological
society. / would take this county
through, getting up contributions to
be exhibited at Oeala. Iwould collect all
the preserves, canned fruits, sauces,
pickles, and all that could collect from
the ladies; and let me tell you right here,
when the women of Jackson county set
out to do thing, it is a foregone conclu-
sion that it will be accomplished.
After that, / would get some of the
splendid corn raised here, and oats, rye,
rice, Spanish peanuts, common peanuts,
chufas, sweet and Irish potatoes, tobacco,
cassava starch and tapioca, arrowroot
starch, syrup, honey, homemade sugar,
hams, sausage, and all in that line to be
had, and would finish off with samples
of soils, red clay, black, gray, and our
kind of wire grass soil. And then l
would put in some pottery clay, iron ore,
building stone from the quarries, stalag-
mites from ournumerous and magnificent
caves, and moss ten feet long, like ropes
of green chenille, from our celebrated
Long Moss Springs, and oh, ever SO many
things. Iwould not just ship these off

INSTANTLY KILLED.
An Old Man Has His Head Crushed by
the PlaceryiIle Train

| ~A'A o'N @'Ae1A has Siuslltu ny
the PlacerviIle Train.
Yesterday afternoon at about go O'Clock
man was run over by the passenger train
from Placeryille at Twenty and R
streets, and instantly killed. His body
was not horribly mangled as is usually the
] case, but fracture of the skull was prob
ably the immediate cause of death. After
the accident the train stopped and the body
was brought to this city and placed in
charge of Coroner Clark.
An inquest was held last evening on the
| remains and the jury found that the name
| OF the deceased was Charles Delargy, a
native of Ireland, between 20 and so years
of age.
The engineer was fully exonerated from
all blame in the matter.
Fireman George Hanford was the only
one on the train that witnessed the acct
dent. He described it as follows: The
train was nearing Twenty second street,
when | saw man leave the fence on the
south side of the track and walk directly
out to the rails. The air-brakes were put
ON instantly, but the man was such short
distance away that the train could not be
stopped in time to save the man. The
pilot of the engine struck him on the side
and carried him about fifteen feet before
he was hurled from the track"
Engineer James w. Hanford testified TO
the same facts, although be did not see the
man advance towards the track. He
stopped his engine as speedily as possible.
Three long whistles were blown just before
the accident.
John McCaughan testified that the de-
ceased was his uncle and they had been
living together for SIX weeks or so. At
times the old gentleman appeared childish,
and on yesterday morning he left the house
before breakfast and nothing was heard of
him until information came that he had
been killed by the cars. 1t is understood
that the deceased owned a ranch or two in
this county

The attention of the Board was called to
the lnadequacy of the water supply in the
outskirts of town, and the subject was dis
cussed at length. II was the unanimous
opinion of the Board that the mains were
altogether too small for proper use; but
this was not where the trouble ended. II
was also known that the city ordinance
which demands that when an alarm of fire
is sounded citizens should not use any
more water than is absolutely necessary, is
grossly violated particularly by the drivers
OF sprinkling carts. In fact, no attention
whatever seems to be paid to the ordi-
nance, important as it is. 1t was finally
agreed that tn Chief Engineer should be
instructed to call upon the Superintendent
OF the Waterworks and urge that official
to lend his assistance in having the law en-
forced.

A Sad Tale.

A. P. Urp few days ago climbed up into
the dome of the State Capitol in order to
get the benefit of such refreshing zephyrs
as might be passing over the city. The
surrounding scene was picturesque indeed
but being of short stature he concluded to
improve his range of vision by Jumping
upon the sill which forms the base of the
large pillars of the dome. In attempting
the feat, however, be lost his balance and
fell from the top of the dome to the roof
OF the building and was horribly crushed.
Almost every bone in his body was broken,
and the poor animal was not discovered
until some time afterwards by Janitor
marlborough, when the latter went out
to hoist the flag on the building. The
funeral takes place tomorrow, and all re-
spectacle CANNES will attend.

The Big brother Interfered

A. Plat was tried and convicted in the
Police Court yesterday of committing bat.
terry upon the person of S. Quinn. Quinn,
1t appears from the testimony, quarreled
with Platt's younger brother last Friday
morning on account of the latter's habit OF
riding mis- bicycle on the sidewalk. The
younger Plat went home and told his "big
brother" and on Saturday morning the
two Platts waited for Quinn. They caught
him, and the big brother" laid him out in
the gutter with a left-hander. Quinn, in
stead of demolishing his assaiIapt, had
him arrested. The Platts both testified
that Quinn struck the first blow. but Judge
Buckley could not be convinced that this
was the case, and ordered the defendant Ia
appear to-day for sentence.

IAN HONEST MAN"
Judge Buckley is Affected, But Chief Ls
Spells the Romance

Judge Buckley is Affected, But Chief Lee
Spells the Romance.
Judge, your Honor, I'm an honest man.
l never stole anything in my life. 1 can
bring witnesses to prove that am honest.
| was crazy when l committed this act, but.
Judge, pom my word, l didn't mean to
steal anything"
This was delivered in a whining voice
by seedy and miserable looking creature
named George Taylor, who stood in the
prisoners dock of Police Judge Bucklev's
Court yesterday, charged with taking a
phaeton belonging to Frank Dolan, last
wednesday, and trading it off for an old
cart to Bob Kent for consideration of So.
Judge Buckley was in forgiving frame
OF mind, and Taylor winked at the drunk
who sat beside him in the dock, fully be-
lleying that his oratory had touched his
honors sympathetic heart. But as usual
there was hitch in the proceedings. The
Judge was just clearing his throat prepare
tory to announcing Taylors dismissal,
when Chief of Police Lee kicked CITY At
torney Church on the shin, and whispered
something to him.
All, yes; excuse me just a moment,
your Honor" said the prosecutor. Inst
one more question. Taylor, have you ever
been convicted of felony prior to your
arrest on this CHARGE
The triumphant smile which had orna-
mented Taylor's physiognomy for the past
few moments vanished in an instant. and
gave place to an expression of mingled
terror and rage.
Wh-what's that got to do with this
case?' he stammered
Answer the question please -
Well-no; l never was"
Are you sure"
Well-er-Judge do 1 have to criminate
myself in this way?"
You must answer the question" re-
sponded Judge Buckley.
Well, refuse to answer" and TAYLOR
sat down, to make the bluff more effective.
Then you may go to jail until you de-
eide to answer the question" quietly an
swered the Judge.
Taylor was on his feet again in mo-
ment, and once more resorted TO the sym-
pathy business. But the Judge was irwin
chile this time. and Taylor whined in vain.
Answer the question" was his Honor's
decree.
Taylo- cast one more appealing look at
the magistrate, but, meeting no encourage
ment, admitted that he had on two occa-
sions been convicted of petty larceny in
San Francisco, serving sentence in the
house OF Correction for one, and in the
County Jail for the other offense.
He was held TO answer the charge of en-
bezzlement before the Superior Court in
81 900 bonds.

He Made q Bad Gnnrs

George Holmes last night entered Sec
cnd-hand clothing store and informed the
proprietor that he had two suits of under
clothing which he wished to dispose of.
He unrolled his bundle, and 10! and be-
hold-instead of two suits of undergar-
ments there were five pairs of new drawers.
Mr.: Holmes looked puzzled for a moment,
and then t1ied to explain, but Just then
officers Harvey and Agnew-whoh had been
spectators of the affair-stepped in ard
took the gentleman to the place where the
city expects to some day get rid of her
prisoners by letting the municipal water
tank down upon them. Late at night it
was learned that the drawers were stolen
from Zemansky's store at Third and ]
streets.
