1t will now be cleaned and put in order
for the opening Of school next Monday.
by which time the we'll will be dug and
the pump in place.
There was a pleasant gathering of
young people at Miss Blake's on Satur--
day evening.
On Sunday the pulpit of the First Con-
gregational Church was very acceptably
filled by Rev. Mr.. Missildine, of Winter
Park. After the sermon the following
persons were received into membership
by letter, the right hand of fellowship
being extended to them, in a beautiful
pastor: Mr.. Ralph Williston, formerly
of Cincinnati; Mr.. S. P. Blake and Mrs.
Abby Blake his wife, Mr.. Ellis Blake
and Mrs. Mary Blake his wife, and Miss
Elizabeth Blake, formerly of Lombard,
Ill. The sacrament of the Lords Sup
per was then administered.
Sunday afternoon there was preaching
in the Congregational Church by the
Rev. J. G. Halliday, of Kansas, who is
open for an engagement as pastor, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Rev. j. @. Staples. Notwithstanding
the rain, there was a very fair attend
ance.
On Saturday Mr.. Westlake, on his
way home from DeLand, found an alli-
gator in the road, little north of Miss
Clough's place. The saurian was evil

DR.. flanders, of Three Island Lake,
took one of the AGRICULTURIsT prizes
for an article on gardening. The trouble
about those prize articles is that, while
they all tell ''iust how" each gives diff
ferent way. We read one and resolve to
do this way then read another and say,
no, we will do this way and so on to
the end, by which time we are all IN
mudd.e. There is much that is good in
all of them. They all agree On one thing
the necessity of plenty of good COM
post or stable manure, and plenty of
elbow grease.
Arrangements have been made for
Sunday school picnic at DeLeon Springs
on Wednesday of this week.
Hon. G. F. A. Bielby delivered po-
litical speech in the colored Methodist
Church Friday evening last. A few
white republicans mingled with the col

house in the night time.
Against Martha Irwin, assault with in
tent to murder.
The grand jury reported ''no true bill
in the cases of Geo. Davis, murder, and
Milton Asia, assault"
In the case of the State VS.. Garlic, as
sault with intent to murder, the defend
ant plead guilty to aggravated assault
and was fined $50 and cost.
John Walters plead guilty to enter
ing house in the day time and was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for one year.
Lee Smith plead guilty TO carrying
concealed weapons and was fined $40
and cost.
In the case of the State VS.. Sherman
Vincent, murder, the greatest legal farce
ever presented in this court was enacted.
Vincent on the Goth of May killed
John Edwards. The defence set up ac-
cidental killing and no doubt proved
their case, but they failed to show that
the killing was not the result of gross
and reckless carelessDess, which under
our statute is manslaughter in the fourth
degree. The statement of the prisoner,
the testimony of the States witnesses
and the witnesses of the defense proved
this fact conclusively, and notwithstand-
ing the lucid change of the judge the
Jury returned verdict "not guilty."
After the verdict was recorded Judge
Hanson censured the jury, saying that
they evidently understood very little of
the law bearing on the case, as there
was sufficient evidence introduced before
them to prove conclusively that crime
had been committed. Messrs. B. M.
Miller and J. H. Lamb appeared for the
defense.
Thefollowing is the jury that returned
the verdict of "not guilty., which ver
dict will go down into history as the
most preposterous and absurd one ever
returned to court of justice:
Willis Cruise, V. G. Savage, H. G.
Poppell, J. R. Ditson, VIM. Padgett,
Ichabod Dougherty, w. II. Tedder, J.
M. Rawlins, O. H. Bryan, J. L. Tedder,
S. T. McCorkle and W. N. Baker.
Stephen Stackhouse is acting as baillf
to the grand jury and J. n. Banta to the
petit jurors.
The grand jury failed to return
true bill in the cases of Sylvester Asia,
G.. w. Walker, Henry Walker and
James Taylor. charged with assisting a
prisoner to escape.
Friday, Jerry Williams was tried on
charge of assault with intent to murder,
convicted and sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary.
At noon Saturday court adjourned for
the week.

After the jury had selected Eugene

Judge Hanson's charge was an elo-
quent, earnest and logical one. He
dwelt at considerable length as to the
duty of the jury in inquiring into the vio-

the sale of liquor. His remarks in this
connection were temperance lecture OF

On Saturday last the school children of
our district, under the direction of Mrs.
Spoffard and Miss Gertie Fuller, assem-
bled at the school with three teams.
They hauled sawdust from the old mill,
constructed nice play ground in front
of the school building and made clean
road of sawdust to the boat landing, SO
that those who attend school and Sunday
school can now walk from the landing
without the concomitant4of wet feet and

appreciate what has been done.

GARBAGE. AND DOGS.


Knotty Problems for the Public safety Com.
mittce-A Suggestion TO Keep CANNES
for -Four Days in Order to Allow Anybody
to Reclaim Them.
The Public Safety Committee met yester-
day afternoon and affirmatively recon-
mended to Councils ordinances authorizing
Chief Brown to purchase lots in the Nine
teenth and Twenty-frst wards for garbage
furnace purposes. One ordinance provides
for the purchase of eight lots owned by
James B. Mcdowell, fronting 167 feet on
Butler street, running back 17S feet to River
avenue for $500. The other is for five lots
fronting 178 feet on Butler street, rum
ming back 103 feet to River avenue III the
Twenty-frst ward, at $500.
The ordinance providing for taxing and
erecting pounds for dogs was considered.
An amendment was made to the section Fix
ing the rate of taxation. The original ordl-
nance provided a tax of 81 per head for dogs.
without regard TO sex. The amendment nxed
female dogs. Several objections were raised to
the provisions of the ordinance. Mr.. Lamble
expressed his belief that the method adopted
by Chief Brown this summer. of poisoning and
not taxing dogs was the best and cheapest He
did not think there would be sufficient num-
Der of owners of dogs pay the tax to pay for the
services OF pound master and other incidental
expenses.
Another objection was the time that dogs
should be kept in pound before killed. The
ordinance fixes As hours as the limit. One
member of the committee thought it should be
four days. He said that in ST. Louis the law
requires that dogs captured on the streets shall
he kept in pound two days for the owner to re-
claim them. If not reclaimed then they are
kept two days longer, and in that time any
person can come along and, by paying the tax.
select a dog from those held over and buy il
for q nominal sum. He said that. as some dogs
were highly valued by their owners. it was un-
fair to kill them withou giving better oppor-
tunity TO recover their animals.
As there seemed to be several points in the
ordinance that were not clearly defined, the
committee decided to postpone action upon 1t
until the next meeting.

Several solos were given by Phil Weiss, and

1t was formed in 1852, and was known as
Jung's band. This was the first professional
musical organization in Pittsburg. AS volun-
teers, the members went to the war in 1862 as

the name was changed to the Great Western
Band, and charter secured. Since then the
Great Western Band has taken a place as one
of the great bands of America.

HE CANNOT PULL THROUGH.
THAT Is THE VERDICT OF A. C. JARRETT's
FRIENDS.

His Liabilities Said 10 be Double the
Amount of His Assets-W. N. jarrett
and Others May be Ruined-His Present
Whereabouts Mystery.
The second disappearance OF A. Q. jar
rett, of the Southside, is complete puzzler
to his friends, who have all along placed
such implicit confidence in his ability to re-
cover from his financial prostration. There
are but few left now who have faith in
him and who think that he will get out all
right-not that he is less honestly inclined
than ever, but that his liabilities are so
overwhelmingly in excess of his assets that 1t
would be a practical impossibiiity Tor MIN to
do So
A careful INQUIRY among those who are ac-
Quainted with MIR. Jarrett's affairs brought out
the fact that his liabilities are IN the nelgnDor-
hood of $50 OlO OF this he has confessed Judg-
ment to James Campbell for $20,O0 his uncle.

eral thousand dollars, and he mas also loaned

Mrs. Margaret Milford, OF the Hill, Claims TO
be creditor to the amount of S2OOO through a
mortgage deal, and William We'll. OF Well d
ROLAND, is indorser for $4,000. 1t is said that
his uncle, w. n. Jarrett is ruined unless Mr..
Jarrett is able to square up.
The missing real estate agent is the owner OF
considerable property. He owns the property
occupied BY bis family on Carson street, and
he has property in all of the Twenty-fourth,
Twenty-tifth and Twenty-sixth wards. 1t is
thought his assets will run up close to O,OOO
He was interested in several land deals re-
Gently and made money rapidly at times. A
great many say that if he had had the courage
to face his creditors and keep his business In
operation, with little leniency from those to
whom he is indebted. he would have been able
to pull through all right.
Ihere were great many rumors anoal last
night in regard to where he had gone. The
reports had him all the way from Chicago to
Philadelphia, but his most intimate friends
professed Ignorance as to his real Whereabouts.
James Campbell is out of the city, and it is
strongly suspected that he knows where Jarrett
is. The talk about meeting of creditors being
called for to-day has evidently been started by
some energetic reporter. No such meeting has
been called nor is there one likely to be. No
one could be found who knew anything about
it. A call was made at the house of James w.
Patterson, in Knoxville, but he was absent

THE BEST PIANO.
Where Everett Coos

Has become one of the trite sayings among
the visitors to the Exposition. 1t is the
popular verdict OF all who have seen the
display of elegant Everett pianos at the rear
end of the main building. When the crowd
is not listening to the band you will find
them listening to these beautiful toned in
struments The best part of it is, that any
one, rich or poor, can own one of them, as
they are sold on the club system, and pur-
chasers can. by becoming a member of the
club, save SIS from the retail price, and by
paving cash can have the piano delivered at
once, by paying 81 per week, will get the
piano in short time, or can arrange to get
the piano on payment Of $25 cash and $40
per month in any case. They get the bene-
fit of the wholesale price secured by the
clubs in contracting for the large number q,
pianos. The plan appeals to the compcn
sense of the people, and is very popular.

NO CHOICE MADE,

CouferceS in tue Fol- ty sixth District Ballot
Three Times for q Senator - Colonel
Hawkins says He Is In It to Stay
Another Meeting In October.
Another attempt was made yesterday to
nominate Republican Senatorial candidate
in the Forty-sixth district which ended in
failure Two sessions were held at the
Monongahela House, and the coDferees de-
cided to try it again in the same place
October 8. Washington county's candidate,
Colonel Hawkins was represented by A.
W. Pollock, I. D. M. Wilson and NJ. L. A.
McCracken, or rather these gentlemen
claimed to represent the Republican party
in Washington. The present incumbent,
Samuel P White, of Beaver. was not present,
but his conferees, ]. F. Mitchell, W. II. Brlcker
and NJ. F. MicklIn, were on hand. One OF the
members of Captain Whites family is very Ill,
and he could not attend.
Three ballots were taken, and every man
stood pat" for his choice. The washington
county conferees are determined NOT 10 vote
for Beaver man. and Mr. McCracken e4-
pressed common sentiment yesterday when
he said that if Colonel Hawkins was not nomi-
mated they would vote for some other W ash
ington county man. Colonel Hawkins is flgur-
ing on running indepently if no choice can be
made but he states that much depends on the
Democratic candidate as to whether he
could be elected or not. He says
the Beaver county people are using the
same old cry that they have always made that
unless Washington wheels into line the success
of the ticket is endangered. Washington is
not in the wheeling business this time. Mr..
McCracken states that the other side have
threatened to attach Washington to Greene
county, but the Republicans, he added, invite
such a prospect. He thinks the Republican
majority in such a district would be about 800.
Colonel Hawkins said however, that he was
in the hands of the conferees. If they see fit
to drop him, or think that Mr.. White is better
man to represent the district than himself, that
he would willingly step aside. Since the dis
trict was organized, "a years ago. Beaver has
had u out of the l9 sessions, while Washington
polls a larger Republican vote by 1000. He
claims Washington is a wealthier county than
Beaver, that its interests are more diversified,
and that his county has not had its share OF
representation.
