The above words Of wisdom were reported to
me this week as having fallen from the lips of a
worthy, hard-working and energetic farmers
wife. She has the reputation of making most
delicious preserves, pickles, etc. and will un-
doubtedy make a success of the canning busi-
ness. For her benefit and tn at of others who
wish to try the business, will give here a few
hints that will help in making it successful.
Put up fruits, berries, jams jellies, etc. in half
pint, pint and quart seli-sealing glass jars. Have
neat and attractive labels printed in bright
colors. Wrap each jar in tissue paper.
Have wooden boxes made just the size
to hold one dozen jars; pack them in close
with fine shavings; then mark the name
Of the special assorted contents of the
box on the end with stenciled letters
Figure closely the cost per dozen of each
variety of fruit put up add reasonable profit
then place in the hands of some reliable home or
Northern merchant TO dispose OF for you, either

Special Cores pondence OF the FLORIDIAN
From Chipley we went to Cottondale in the
western edge of Jackson county. 1t is pleasant
village on the P & A. Railroad, containing some
300 inhabitants. churches, schools, etc, and is
tinc business point. being probably the largest
cotton shipping point on the road and also
considerable lumber and timber one. The in
habitants are either all native FlOridians or from
other Southern States. Like all the other towns
of this section it is ambitious and looks forward
10 greatly enlarged proportions as the surround
ing country is developed It's live men, and we
NAV also add its intelligent farmers, will offer
any reasonable inducement and hearty well
come 10 all who wish to obtain homes 10 their
midst. come from what section they may, re-
gardess of politics or creed, and we can say to
those desiring lands for cotton, tobacco. fruit,
vegetables and health, no better section will be
found Properly is cheap and can be had in
quantities to suit on easy terms No one need
be viii hout comfortable home, peace and pros
perity who is willing 10 make IN effort
THE BUSINESS
of the place is in the hands of the following
firms: j. III. Sharit, general merchandise who
has recently erected a new business house !;
Woodward & Shores, general merchandise; DR..
J. L. Powell. the only physician and also drug
gist; r. A. Walling & Co., general merchandise;
C. Welch, general merchandise, farmer and also
land owner j. Walsh postmaster and general
merchandise w. O. Tucker, general merchan-
disc. All composing business community
whose geniality will commend them at all times
10 the stranger wishing 10 buy or sell, and cspe-
cially 10 those looking out for homes, and to all
such we would advise to put Cottondale on their
memoranda TO see. The FLORIDIAN representa-
tive certainly has good and substantial reasons
for being glad of his flying call.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 16.-Judse
Sawyer in the United States circuit court
this morning rendered q decision in the
habeas corpus case Of Deputy Marshal
David Nagle and discharged Nagls from
custody. The bill Of exceptions filed by
counsel for the state was allowed by the
court. and, pending appeal to the United
States supreme court, Nagle was released
on his own recognizance. Bonds. 81, 900.
The discussion was very long. It gives
review OF the circumstances Of the past year
which eliminated in the recent tragedy. In
commenting on the subject OF jurisdiction,
Judge Sawyer says:
"There is no conflict BET ween the author
ity OF the state and the United States. In.
such cases, state law is subordinate and
the national government paramount" He
continues there can be no doubt that
Jurisdiction OF the United States is not
affected by reason of the location
where the homicide occurred" The main
questions the court considers are, first:
Was homicide committed by petitioner
while acting in the discharge OF q duty
imposed upon him by the constitution
and laws OF the United States." Second:
Was homicide necessary, or was it rea.
sonably apparent to the mind OF petit
tioner at the time, and under the circum-
stances then existing that the killing was
necessacy in order to completely discharge
such duty" The court declared the mar
shal is peace officer SO far as keeping peace
in any matter wherein the sovereignty OF
the United States is concerned, and he has
all the powers OF q sheriff as to such
matters.

Incompetent Officials.

Los ANGELES, Cal, September 16.-The
committee appointed by the Grand Army
posts OF Los Angeles to investigate the
charges against the management OF the
Pacific Coast branch OF the National
Soldiers home. instituted at Santa Monica,
has reported. The report declares that the
meat furnished veterans was not such a.
required by the specifications; that the
food furnished was not proper for invalids;
that the quarter master, sergeant and
commissary sergeant were totally incom-
petent and that the present condition OF
affairs is due to Governor Treichel's failure
to inspect the supplies and general condi-
tion OF the home. The report was signed
by Geo. e. Gard, deputy commander OF the
California G. A. R., and nineteen other
members OF the committee. The report
was adopted by the posts which hastensd
to subinit all aftidavits in the possession
OF the committee to the national board OF
directors and to prefer charges against the
officers named, and to ask for their prompt
removal.

THE IVES CASE.

The Napoleon of Finance Caught at Last
Evidence Against Him.
New YORK, September 16.-The trial OF
Henry 8. Ives was resumed this morning.
E. w. Woodruff, confidential secretary to
Ives, and later secretary OF the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, was called to the
witness stand. The witness gave hist Try
OF his re'ations with Ives & Staynor. After
they had secured control OF the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railroad the firm pro-
ceeded at once to make a;heavy over.issue
OF stocks in the names IT clerks in Ives &
Staynor's Office. An Uver-issue OF 1000
shares OF face value OF $1O0, 900 was made
by the witness on Ives order and deliv.
cred to Zimmerman to cover Ives indeht-
ed ess to Zimmerman. On the same day
previous to August II, 1887. the witness,
on Ives order, took the stock ledger to
Ives house in Brooklyn and burned it in
the furnace to conceal the over-issue OF
stock. The witness, however, kept record
OF all these transactions in q small book.
Ives knew about this aud sometimes made
entries in il himself. This book was taken
to Newark, N. j., and kept until March
last. The book was produced in court and
identified, and record OF the fraudulent
stock issue read.
NEW YORK, September 15.-After recess
the witness stated that 1890 shares were
subsequently handed him by Ives for the
purpose OF canceling old stock, which: he
did. Twenty of these certificates were iden.
tilted by Woodruff. These were not re-
corded because there wss less stock avail
able for cancellation than would suffice to
counterbalance the over.issue. Witness
said Ives told him to take unauthorized
stock and wipe it out altogether. Wool
ruff told how be and Ives one night copied

LYNcHBURa, Va, September 16.-A Nor
mon emigrant train on the Norfolk & West.
ern railroad was wrecked this morning
about four miles below this city. The
wreck was caused by a small bridge giving
way after the engine and baggage car had
passed over it. The water in the creek be-
low was very high, caused by one OF the
heaviest rain storms ever known in this
section. The emigrants numbered 100.
Two cars plunged into the creek, and.
strange to say, no one was killed and only
fifteen or twenty were hurt, none OF them
seriously. The first car that went down
turned completely over and is a total
wreck. The second car stood almost per.
pendicular. All the passen gers were badly
shaken up, but when brought here Elder P.
Payne, in charge OF the party. stated that
none were crippled and that all would pro-
ceed ON their journey as soon as the train
could be made mp. There were nine Nor
