Pensacola NetCs: When Capt William
Folker bought the condemned bark Hypatia
last year for the sum of $500 it was believed
at the time that he had made a lucky
stroke, especially when it was found after
placing her upon the docks that the vessel
could be rendered perfectly seaworthy for
a comparatively small sum. The bark was
In securing cargo of timber and lumber
for Buenos Ayres. The vessel arrived safely
at her destination, and it is now learned,
from an authentic source, that after the
cargo was discharged and all expenses paid
the lucky captain found that he had cleared
just $3.50 on his investment. His numerous
friends in Pensacola rejoice with him in his
good fortune.
Pensacola Netcs: A fully developed
o%Q .Qn olr II
m. yesterday over Escambia bay, about
four miles in an E. N. E. direction from this
city. AS seen from the roof of the custom
house by Signal Observer Smith and several
other gentlemen, it resembled nothing so
much in its graceful curves and undulatiug
motion as a gigantic sea serpent reaching
its head into the clouds, its dark, writing
body exposed to view, and its tail obscured
by a strip of intervening woods 1t drifted
slowly in northerly direction with the
prevailing wind, the top travelling at
the greatest speed and inclininR
at an angle of 450 in the direction
of its progress. Its estimated altitude, as
given by Observer Smith, and the other
gentlemen on the roof of the custom house
was from 13e to 150. 1t broke at a point
| about four-fifths of its altitude at $40
o'clock D. H., and in five or six seconds was
entirely dissipated. 1t was followed by a
northerly wind and thunder storm. The
barometer at the signal office in this CITY
| had been slowly falling during the day, but
was not vlsibly affected by the phenome-
non.
Gainesville Sun: | t appears that the diff
| Guilty at Alachua on Saturday afternoon,
which resulted in he death OF J. T. Hutch
inson and the probable fatal wounding of
| William Holt, grew out Of previous trouble
at the Stroole school house between young
Hewitt and one Of the Holt boys, in which
the latter was worsted. William Holt, il
seems, to avenge the castigation received by
his brother at the hands of Hewitt, went to
Alachua on Saturday, in company with
others, and, it is alleged, threatened TO whip
| Hewitt. Hewitt, 1t is claimed, believ-
ng that he would be assaulted by Holt
and others, drew his pistol and commenced
firing, the firing being returned by Holt.
Hutchinson tried to prevent the shooting by
stepping between Holt and Hewitt. when a
ball from Hollis pistol struck him in the
left side, coming out under the right arm.
At this jHncture Hewitt advanced on Holt,
shooting him through the head, the ball en-
tering at the nose and being taken out at
the back of the neck. The difficulty
occurred at about 2 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon, in front of
Williams store in Alachua, and Hutchiu-
son died some time during Saturday
night Mr.. Hutchinson was about 25 years
