A POLICE STATION IN DANGER.

1t Cannot Stand the Strain of Pile of Ore
Stored Against 1t.
Superintendent of Police Gamble Weir
will be sent report to-day from Inspector
Whitehouse relative to the dangerous con-
dition of the Fourteenth ward station on
Second avenue. For some time past the
sergeants have noticed large cracks in sthe
walls of the building above the windows
and doors. The door leading to the cell
department will not close at present, being
out of plumb by reason of the partition wall
being jammed off to one side.
The cause of all of it is lain to pile Of ore
containing several thousands OF tons which
lies in the yard of Moorehead, McCleane 8
Co., and is piled up against the station
house. The danger Of total collapse to the
station house seems to be imminent and the
officers at the house have begun to realize
it, and decided yesterday to report the mat
ter to the Superintendent.

the amount of $4,000. The money
was taken by him from the bank
funds from time to time during the two

Recently it was discovered that the

tered on the bank ledger by $4,000. Smith
confessed to President Hubbs that he had

whom every trail and lurking place
of deer, bear and other game, for
many miles, are as familiar as his

Indeed. this intimate knowledge of
the country extends overa great part
OF eastern Florida. Mr.. Ponce is
about. 50 years Of age. He still uses
a muzz1e loader, with the old powder
horn and shot pouch slung over his
shoulder, and there is veto be found
the sporting tourist, with his elegant
breech loader, who will bring home
as much game as the hunter with the
rusty muzzle loader, which healways
carries ready for use on his Mexi-
can saddle in front.
His record now shows over 1000
deer, and of bears nearly 400. Mr..
Ponce can initiate the call OF any
bird or animal SO perfectly that he
always gets an answer from the for

by greeting his better half with an

than she picked it up and threw it out
