New York, June ga company has
just been organized with a capital of ST. ,OOO,-

yestment company. The farm lies between
the Indian. San Sebastian and st. Johns
rivers. and is drained into the St. Johns.
The farm has muck soil, similar to
that in the valley of the Nile. Most peo-
pie think of Florida as sand heap.
streaked here and there with hummock
lands, but the presence of this great tract Of
most fertile land, OF soil rarely found in
tropical countries, proves the general idea
erroneous. The company does not pro-
pose to raise cereals or garden stuff but
sugar cane and cocoanuts. especially cocoa
nuts. This will be in the nature OF an ex-
pertinent, as cocoanuts are not indigenous
to Florida.
The company is composed of New York
| and Southern capitalists. The land was
bought from a syndicate Of young mer of
New Orleans. headed by w. w. Wallis,
who has some stock in the farming enter
prise, and will be its president.

YOUNG, BUT TOUGH.
Cap ture Of a Gang Of Moonshiners
and Mwlerers in West
Virginia.
The Leader, Mere Boy, Has Killed
Five Men, His Own Private
Enterprise. IT,.

WHEELING w. Va, June 29-Harve
Mullins. the leader Of the notorious Null
Inns gang of moonshiners, who have been
making whisky and committing murders
and other crimes in Mcdowell county for
several years, has been arrested, together
with Pile Cooper, one of the gang.
For years illicit distilling has been con-
Quoted in Mullins mountain, and the gang,
numbering about twenty-five, all of the
most desperate characters, has been enabled
to elude arrest, although several posses OF
officers have attempted to get them. In
every case the officers have been driven
back at the muzzle of Winchesters. Nu-
merous cold blooded murders have been
committed in the vicinity, all attributed to
this gang, and eight of their number are
now under indictment for murder.
Mullins is said to have killed five men
himself, although mere boy. and is under
indictment for murder in both West Vir-
ginia and Virginia. He is also under in
dictment in both states for moonshining,
and his capture is one of the most impor-
tant as we'll as one Of the most daring pieces
| of work OH the part of officers in recent
years.
Last fall desperate attempt was made to
capture the gang by United States deputy
marshals, but they were repulsed after a
sharp fight in which the marshals had sew
eral horses killed and some of the men mar
rowly escaped with their lives.
a short time later man named Cox was
shot and killed by the gang, while riding
along the road, he having been mistaken
for marshal.
The day after Mullins capture two gen.
tlemen riding along the road near where
the capture was made were fired on from
the woods by Mullins gang, but escaped.
1t is supposed that they also were taken for
deputy marshals.
Mullins capture was made by Deputy
internal Revenue Collector N. T. Keadle,
Who took posse of men with the deter
mination of breaking up the gang. He took
warning from the fate Of other officers, how
ever and instead of an open attack made
still hunt and hid in the woods for sew
eral days, being at last rewarded by am
bushing Harve Mullins and Cooper, both
being armed, Mullins with revolver ana
Cooper with rifle. Mullins attempted to
shoot when told to surrender, but was
Knocked down with dubbed rifle and
handcufed. Cooper surrendered when lie
found he was covered Ivy rifles.
They will be taken to ParEersburg before
the United States court tomorrow, after
which an attempt will be made to capture
the rest Of the gang.

Columbus statue Suggested.
New YORK. June %. The people in
charge Of the Chicago fair want the date OF
the unwilling Of the Columbus monument
in New York changed from Oct. IL, 1892. to
the middle of April, 1893, when the naval
review will be held in New York harbor.
The buildings Of the Chicago enterprise
are to be dedicated on Oct II, 1892, and the
Chicago folks think the two ceremonies
might injure each other if they should fall
on the same day. c. Barsotti of this city,
who is in charge Of the monument project,
has received several letters on the
subject from persons interested in the Chi
caSO show. The last was written on Fri
day at the Eastern headquarters in this city
by Special Commissioned Alexander D. An
derson. In it he says:
IF you select Oct. II for the unwilling of
the statue at New York the ceremonies will
necessarily be somewhat of local nature,
tor the reason that Chicago will on that day
be the center of attraction. IT, on the con-
trary, you select April, $685. the ceremonies
will be both national and international in
scope and more commensurate with the
grand purpose OF your patriotic work.
In this connection it may be mentioned
that plans have already been prepared for
reproduction OF the flag ship of Column
bus, the Santa Maria, and that she will
lead and be saluted by the fleet at the in
ternational review. Also, that it is be-
lieved, that the heads Of many foreign
nations will be present in person in April,
1898, to participate IN the ceremonies, as
for instance the emperor of Brazil, Dom
Pedro, was present at the Philadelphia CEN
tennial in 1876. 1t therefore seems to me
that you have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by selecting April, 1893, for
your celebration.
I'm brief, the exposition management,
the official representatives of American
states and republics and the nations Of the
old world would like to participate in
your ceremo nies and help them make as
grand and impressive as possible if you
Will select date when they can be present.
With cooperation and ciprocity between
New York and Chicago the commemora-
ton at each place can be made inter-
national in the broadest and fullest sense?"
