share subscribed for and fully paid up. The

Jacksonville Metropolis: Monday morn-
| ing George Banes, the 13-year,old son Of
| Nathan II. Banes of East Jacksonville, met
| with most painful accident. George was
working at Banes d Warringtons saw and
planning mill, on West Bay street, LaVilla.
He was using the swinging CUTOFF saw,
| which is drawn up by hand to the piece Of
timber to be severed. He had laid the
piece to be cut down on the saw table and
was drawing the saw to it, when the
weight belt that pulls the say back
after cutting the timber broke and
body instead of the timber, cutting fear
full cash about ten inches in length, extend
ing from just below and to the right OF the
nipple nearly to the groin. The little fellow
was seen to reel and stagger, when it vas
discovered something had happened TO him.
The rent in his clothing and the flow of
blood showed that he was badly hurt. DR..
Romero was Instantly called aud ct once
began an examination of the wound and
he pronounced that the entrails were not in
| jured, and therefore the wound was not
| fatal. The doctor then set to work to stop
the bleeding and to make the boy as COM
| Portable as possible.
| Jacksonville Times. Union: There was
| quite an exciting scene at the Savannah,
Florida aud Western depot an evening or
two ago, in which the prominent actors
were bride and groom. The bride had
| seen probably fifty summers, and the groom
was within fifteen years of the allotted life
| OF man. They had been married but three
weeks, but she had become disguised with
double blessedness and was about TO skip
| out for her home in Ohio, and he was at the
depot in an irate frame Of mind to intercept
her. He tried to go into the waiting room,
and she sought protection against his abuse
from policeman. Then the irate husband
rushed to telephone TO ring up the
chief OF police. but the telephone was
not in good working order, and
SO be rushed, post haste, to BE-
| cure the chief of police in person. When
he came back the bride had flown on the
departing train for her old home in OHIO
and the groom was left disconsolate. The
groom, by the way, is we'll known in South
Jacksonville, as he owns little property
there and some also in Ocala The bride's
dowry also amounted 10 a right nice lutte
sum. The meeting between the two ives
ocoasioned by his advertisement in matri
monial paper of Chicago; she answered
they exchanged photographs, taken some
| years ago, when both were better looking
and loving letters passed, and then the
meeting and elimination of all their de-
lightful anticipations. Three weeks fixed
the business, as she said he made home toe
hot for her, and 30 she sold out the furni,
ture and used the money to buy ticket tc
Ohio.
