MACCLENNY. FLA, Jan. 24.-There is a
fair prospect that rice mill will be estab-
tablished here soon. Experiment has dem
onstra ed the fact that rice can be grown
here successfully, from sixty to seventy
bushels per acre having been produced on
common high, pine land with little or no
fertilizer. Neg tlations are now pending
looking to the removal Of a plant from the
north.
SAMPLES of rice raised here compare
favorably with any gro Nn in Louisiana d
Mi sissippi. The b ard of trade will offer
inducements in the way of a town site for
the mills, lum er r the buildings, will
guarantee the placing of large portion OF

HENRY s. IVESIN TROUBLE
Suit Again Brought by the Mineral
Range Company Against Him.

The Mineral Range Railroad com
pany has filed bill Of complaint with
the United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York against
Henry 5. Ives, Geo. ii. Staynor and
Thomas c Doremds, individually, and
as members OF the firm OF Henry 5.
Ives d Co., and William n. Cromwell,
assignee OF that firm. The bill cites
that the complainant on January 81,
1890, obtained judgment in tho
supreme court of New York, In Kings
county, against II. 5. Ives 81 Co., for
the sum of $3.50, 984.27, and that the
executions issued thereon have been re-
turned dissatisfied. The bill alleges
that the assignment made by Ives &
90. on August l., 1887, was made "with
intent to hinder, delay and defraud the
creditors of said firm" and the com
plainant therefore prays that the as
signment be declared null and void;
that q receiver be appointed and that
writ of injunction issue prohibiting
the defendants from parting with or in
any way disposing OF any OF the prop
erty of the firm.

CASTLE GARDEN NO MORE
Governor Island the Future Landing
Place of Immigrants.

Governors Island will replace Castle
Garden, New York, as the landing
place of immigrants arriving in this
country at the port Of New York. It
may take several days yet TO determ-
inc the legal status OF Governors Is
land. Secretary Proctor Is entirely
willing 10 permit a portion OF Cover
nor's Island to be used as an immigrant
station, and II he possesses the power
under the law to transfer the control
of the island or part of il, to the
secretary OF the treasury, he is pre-
pared TO do 80 as soon as the necessary
papers can be made out. The opinion
is expressed in some quarters that
action by congress may be required
before the transfer can be made.
In some quarters it is stated that the
president possesses the power to direct
the transfer. All these questions are
now under consideration and until the
deeds are carefully examined, under
which the government acquired title
TO the island, and the laws under
which 1t was transferred to the war
department, no final step will be taken.

A BOSTON HOLOCAUST.
Ten Persons Burned to Death, and
Several Others Badly Injured.

The Sears building, a magnificent
five-story marble structure occupied
by the Second National and Atlas
banks, insurance, lawyers and brokers'
offices, burned in Boston, Feb. End.
The building was valued at 5000, 600;
insurance $4,000. The yearly rental
of the building brought in $75, 900.
The loss to the banks and Offices has
not been ascertained. The buildings
adjoining were slightly damaged. Two
firemen were badly burned, but are not
thought to be fatally injured. 1t is
known that ten persons were burned
to death. Three others were fatally
injured and six others seriously if not
mortally hurt 1t is believed the fire
started in clothing store on the first
floor. Before it was discovered it had
eaten through the partition wall of
the hallway, which contained stairs
leading to the tenements above, and
thus cut off escape for the occupants.
The scenes which occurred among the
occupants when they were awakened
were of the most heartrending descrip-
ton. Shrieks of terror, groans of
agony and cries fer help filed the air.
Men, women and children filled the
windows and piteously pleaded for
help. Some OF the more venturesome
even hung from the windows by only
slight hold on the stills. Ladders
were hurriedly hoisted, lines of hose
quickly run off and in ten minutes the
fears for personal safety had subsidized.
Those whom it was possible to save
had been taken from their positions OF
peril and the wounded had been taken
to places where their injuries could be
cared for. After the fire was practi-
cally extinguished Chief Weber, fol-
lowed by several fremen, went into
the building and with difficulty as
cended to the upper floors. When they
reached them sight that Mortified
them met their eyes. Under one of
the windows crouched human form
burned to a crisp, the hands clasped
together and kneeling as though in
prayer. Further search showed in
other parts of the top floor seven other
human forms covered with cinders and
ashes. Seeing escape from the flames
below to the street impossible because
the stairs were burning, the terrified
victims had evidently rushed to the
upper floor in their attempts to escape
and there had been roasted as though
held in a furnace. Later two infants
were removed from other parts of the
building and list of the human lives
lost made up. The injured were re-
moved to hospitals and the dead bodies
taken TO the morgue for identification.
There are serious suspicious that the
fire was the work OF incendiaries. II
is stated that when the street door
burst open the smell gave strong indi-
cations that the stairs and floor had
been saturated with oil. The police
have decided on thorough investiga-
ton. and one Benjamin Simmons has
been arrested on suspicion.

Miss Schumann is handsome young
lady residing in Burlington. One of
the most prominent features about her
was her hair, which was Of a golden
hue, and exceedingly abundant. While
returning from an errand, and while
yet within the view OF passerby, she
was seized from behind by a strange
man who eneircled her waist with one
arm and held her fast while he rapid
ly ran knife about her head. So
quickly was the whole thing done that
the young lady had scarcely time to
struggle or cry out, and In the next
moment the man had disappeared.
The young lady went home, told her
story, and fell into faint. No trace
Of the man can be found. n
A man whose appearance is said to
indicate a substantial German farmers
is conducting swindling scheme
through Iowa that is at once clever
and taking. He sails under the name
of Berger and claims to be an extern
sive dairyman of New York, out west
purchasing dairy cows. Arriving in
town, he makes headquarters at one of
the leading livery barns and makes
daily trips to the country, returning
each evening, and reporting purchases
from we'll known farmers. After
weeks campaigning he announces that
he must suspend operations for day
or two TO await the advent of his son,
who will bring the money. He tells
plausible stories and usually succeeds
in borrowing money from the livery
man to continue the work. He aims
high and gets sums varying from 500
to $500.
