Hark! twas the booming OF the sunset gun.
The bowl is shattered, and the day is done
Ny day. thy day--its golden hours are run
Lcok thou within, my thoughtless heart, and say
What thou hast done with this most precious
day.
No longer thine to use in any way?
Hast thou been faithful TO the truth and right:
Hast helped to make ano1 hers burden light?
Art thou better heart than yester-night?
Alits alas But thou wilt some time be
Cool, noble, earnest grand in ministry:
To-morrow's sunset gun may kneli for thee!

that the Indian is gradually becoming
exterminated. He states that the total

DR.. II. r. Shine, son of Mr. and Mrs.
r. A. Shine, died in Tallahassee at 8
o'clock Thursday morning, July 16, 1891,
after painful illness of many months.
DR.. Shine was about % years old. He
was a graduate of the Baltimore Dental
Institute and stood high in his profes.
sion. He was of a genial, sunny DISPOSE
ton, and was beloved by all who came in
contact with him. His hig Oh moral worth
and soft, gentle manly manners, made
mothers point him out to their sons as
an example worthy of trying to follow.
Death always brings sadness to COM
munity, but the cutting down of such a
model young map, just when business
success had begun to smile upon him,
causes much or eater sadness than would
be the case in the death of one less gen.
orally known and loved.

The funeral took place from St. Johns
Episcopal church yesterday afternoon,
Rev. w. II. Carter officiating, attended

TIT FOR TAT.
Sohn A. Graham and Frane,s lrsch
zach nave the Other Ar~A.,aa

S~cn nave the Other Arrested.
Durlng the past week Capt. Francis
.rscn OF the Florida Colonization and
mining Company, and Mr.. John A. Ora
nam OF this city have been making bust
ness for the courts and giving the quiet
city something to talk about.
The facts of the cases, as near as the
FLoR1DIAN can learn, are about as fol-
lows:
April %, 1891, Graham sold to Francis
lrsch 1,O4O acres of land in Pasco county
ne made contract with Irsch, receipting
ior the amount of the purchase money,
($1'o4o( and describing the lands, and
agreeing to make a "full warranty deed"
TO the lands. IRISH thereupon gave him
check on the Seventh National Bank of
New York for $1,000, of which $50 was
Tor an amount Graham had accommo-
dated him with that evening. Next day
Graham made deed to Irsch and H. E.
Ellis, trustees, purporting to convey
the one thousand and forty acres of land
IN Pasco county (but describing only 1000
acres) with special warranty, and not
iull warranty. The title to the land having
been examined, it appeared from the alb
stracts that of the 1,040 acres over 500 did
not belong to Graham at all, and the re-
mainder were held by tax titles, for which
he could give no warranty deed.
July II 1rsch filed warrant in Criminal
Court Of Record of Duval county, drawn
oy the county solicitor. Rhydon Call,
charging Graham with obtaining property
(the check above named) under false pre-
lenses (the pretense that he had good title TO
the lands). The judge of Criminal Court of
Record being absent, the warrant was
issued by and made returnable before W.
B. Owen, county Judge, and on appear
ance Graham gave bond to appear the
following Monday, at which time, on a
motion 10 quash the affidavit made by
Graham's counsel, the judge decided that
no ofense was charged therein, and dis
charged the prisoner
Immediately new affidavit, more ex.
tended in detail, was filed, but the judge
refused warrant on the ground that nc
false pretense concerning the titles to real
estate could be held to come within the
state statute.
When Graham was first arrested in
Tallahassee, July II, Captain Irsch pre-
sented and demanded payment of note
for "a, 900, payable on demand, and which
was executed in Tallahassee June 5th, a.
a loan to Graham, and which Captain
Irsch supposed should be presented III
Tallahassee.
| Last Wednesday, July Is, Graham
swore out against Captain Irsch, then il
Tallahassee, before County Judge Long
a warrant charging Irsch with having at.
tempted to extcrt money from hira <Gra
ham) by threatening to accuse him o
crime.
This charge, the friends Of Captain
Irsch say, has no other basis than the pre-
sentation fer payment of the nete fol
$4,000.
Captain Irsch appeared and waived ex-
ANIMATION, and Judge Long 6Eed the bono
at %2,OOO for appearance at the next tern
of the circNst court.
And the end is not yet.

the county, the amount of which is

Bonds Nos. so, 1O1 and 1879, amounting

ton. This will leave the entire indebted
ness of the county only $25, 900.
The county tax on the mill property of
R. Cay, recently destroyed by fire at Ock-
lockonee, was RENTED.
A petition signed by 800 registered vot,

OUR NE " ROAD.
The Florida, Georgia and southern
Means Business.

The Florida, Georgia and SOushern
Means Business.
Messrs. w. T. Damon, Rafe Pace, Will
liam Pratorious, Mack Lynch and others
who have been out on the preliminary
survey of the Florida, Georgia and West
ern railway from Tallahassee to Charlotte
Harbor have returned home They made
the round trip, 430 miles, in a wagon.
It is now thought that the road will be
completed to Gainesville by January 1
next.
The subjoined interesting information
about the new road is clipped from the
Barlow News:
The News is indebted to Mr.. R. N.
William, civil engineer, who was in
charge Of the surveying patty locating
the Florida, Georgia and Western rail-
road, for pleasant call last Friday. Mr..
Williams informed us that the road, as
contemplated, is line to connect ITALIA
hassee with Charlotte Harbor, and will
touch the following points Wacissa,
Perry, in Taylor county, Fort Fannin, on
the Suwannee river at the line of Alachua
and Levy counties, will cross the
IF. G. & P. railroad at Albion, in
Levy county, Dunnellon in Marion county,
Tompkinsville in Citrus county, Brooks
vile in fernando county, Tampa, Bloom
ingdale in Hillsborough county, Chicora
and Fort Green in Polk county, Pine
Level and thence to Charlotte Harbor.
The wisdom that characterizes the mark
ingout of this new road will be- verified
by it's success. Hitherto for travel from
Tallahassee and west of there to reach
South Florida it has been necessary te
come all the way round by Jacksonville
By the new route all that travel will make
the hypothenuse of the angle. CONNER
cially speaking the line traces nearly it,
whole distance one of the richest sections
of the state, both in horticultural ane
mineral wealth. 1t enters the phosphate
field when it crosses the Suwannee rive
at Fort Fannin and from thence it trav
erses the immense phosphate regions b.
way of Dunnellon, Brooksville, the ricl
Alfalfa section down to Punta Gorda.
One thousand men are now at work OF
the road and President Mclean says tn
road will be pushed through as rapid,
as men and means can do the work.
