The Palatka Herald says that Presiden-
tial City, situated on the east bank Of the
st. Johns, Is coming into extensive noto-
rlety, and has recently been made post
Office point by the department at Washing
ton. This town received its name from the
day that President Cleveland first planted
his feet on its uncultivoted soil From that
day to the present time it has grown rap

A negro child, aged years, cripple,
was burned to death on the plantation OF
| Wash Bannerman, in the northern portion
of Leon county, Saturday. 1t seems that
the older members of the family had gone
to the field, leaving two children, little
tot Of 4, and the cripple child, aged years,
in the house, which, from some unknown
cause, caught fire. The 4-year-od child
| escaped, but was too small to save the Grip
| pie. VIII Zimmerman and others arrived
| on the scene while the building was yet
burning, and made strenuous efforts to
save the little sufferer, but the fire had
| gained too much Roadway and their efforts
| were of no avail
| Palatka Herald: Mccoy, who was ar
rested Saturday on the charge of selling
| sand ~1ches, coffee, ETC., at the train, and
whose trial was held Saturday afternoon,
| had his case settled this morning by Mayor
| Webb, whose withheld decision was made
known to the extent of $50. Mccoy gave
| notice that an appeal would be taken, and
has been allowed five days in which to
secure bondsmen The railroad company
claims that McCoy's men endanger the lives
| of passengers as they get off and on trains
| by brushing against them with large
baskets. The passengers seem to think
their danger comes when they eat those
| sandwiches and hard boiled eggs, and not
| from cause which is claimed.
| Key West Equator: Several of our citi-
zens have made complaint to US against the
| conduct of Ida Haynes, Jane Thompson,
Olivia Hall, Ellen Edwards and several
| negro men, on the South Beach, between
the two towers, Wednesday. 1t seems that
these women went down to the beach at
abont 10 o'clock yesterday morning, with
the intention of ''conching," as they called
it, and at once proceeded to disrobe some
of them taking off all of their clothing,
while the others left one thin
garment on their black backs,
and thus arrayed they proceeded to wade
| out in search of conches. However, they
had not been on the beach long when they
were joined by the negro men referred to,
each Of whom had bottle Of mean whisky,
and soon the entire party were as drunk as
badgers and kicked up all kinds Of disgrace
| full antics, calling to gentlemen on horse
back and in their buggies as they passed
by, and committed other outrages Finally
the climax was capped when the party took
carriages (after dark to go home, and rode
| through the streets in a nude condition and
singing vulgar songs.
