1t is not by any.means at the naval exhibit

Court Records Burned.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, May 25.--The papers
and records of the United States Court for
the Northern district of Florida were burned
in the fire which destroyed the Mohawk block
on Monday last. Some of the documents
dated back over two hundred years. This loss,
of course. seriously embarrasses the court.
The district attorney says that the
law provides for such emergencies i'll GRIM
inal cases, and that he can make out new
papers. The clerk Of the court. however, is
of the opinion that the fire made an end to
most cases, and especially the criminal ones.
Several prominent lawyers agree with the
clerk. and say that only where witnesses and
all the facts can be secured can new cases be
made out. There were number of cases
pending against Democrats III the middle
