The Captain OF a Jacksonville Com
pary Under Arrest
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 31.-The
members Of the jackson vile Light Infantry
we're mad yesterday afternoon at what they
characterized as piece OF gross INJUSTICE ON
the part Of Maj. Lancaster, commanding
the camp, and Gov. Fleming, in delaying
the st. Augustine investig alton into charges
against Capt S. G. Boylston, meanwhile
keeping him under arrest. The trouble had
It's origin last Saturday, when c. B. Smith,
a non commissioned officer Of the Jackson
vile Light Infantry, was placed under ar
rest Tor coming into camp after hours. He
was made to mark time. Capt. Boylston
Immediately demanded tnat Smith be re-
leased. Lieut.. Pomar hesitated at first
ana Capt. Boylston insisted upon
&c. Finally Lieut. Pomar acquiesced.
Capt Boylston made his demands
knowing that an officer could not be pam
ished for an offense without first having
been tried. subsequently report Of the
affair was made 70 Mai Lancaster, who
sent for Capt. Boylston, who explained his
position. The matter was dropped.
THE ARREST.
Yesterday everybody was astonished by
the arrest of Capt Boylston. Charges in
writing were made against him for viola
tion OF the minbary law rorbiddinR an otfi-
Ger on duty to use insolent or abusive LAM
guage. The charge was made in the name
OF Capt Mcconnell Of the Ocala Rifles, who
was officer OF the day. The arrest OF Capt.
Boylston was made at 10 O'Clock, but not
until O'Clock was he given a copy of the
charges, He demanded an investigation and
his friends insisted upon 1t, being confident
that the charges were groundless. Efforts
were made TO have Maj. Lancaster and
Gov. Fleming institute q court of inquiry
for that purpose. This was refused by both
on various excuses, one Of which was incon-
yenience. Gov. Fleming informed Capt.
boylston that the matter would be attended
20 when he returned to Tallahassee aud had
an opportunity and the time to select a
proper court of inquiry. Meanwhile, it is
understood that the officers OF the jackson.

date is Deserter.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 3l.-Candidate
Peek, the third party nominee. is not going
to have pleasant time In his campaign
Already part OF his record has been uncoy-
cred in way that is not calculated to bring
JOY TO his ambitious soul But still other
blots on his career are to be uncovered and
exposed to the view Of the public, and those
whom he and his fellow dis uptionists are
seeking to lead astray. The third party
candidate has a war record. Most s1utheru
men are pr nd OF their war records, but
Candidate Peek would rather not have had
any at all than that which an investigation
by members of the state campaign commit
tee has brought to light.
Col Joe james OF Douglas county
is the moving spirit in the
investigation OF Col. Peek's record. Col,
James was in the city to-day on his mission
of discovery. He has not got the evidence
in black and white yet, but said this after
noon that be now knew where to put his
hand on the men who would make affidavit
that Candidate Peek was a deserter from
the confederate army, that he turned his
back and fled when be was needed
at the front in the days when
the honest men whom lie now seeks Co lead
away from their true friends needed him
sorely. Col. James will have the papers
fixed up in a day or two. Rev. Tbad c.
Pickett, the candidate Of the third party in
the Ninth district, is also under fire on the
war record question. In his side pocket
Col James had the affidavit of Adit.
Gen. j. Mcintosh Kell that Pickett had
deserted the confederate army after a
service OF three months.

are sad. He was arrested for cheating aud
swindling and charged with working the

a Belief That Boards OF Equalization

ATLANTA, Ca. Aug. 31.-The boards of
equalization in the counties where they have
operated closely have not proven a great
success for the state. The tar disests which
have recently come into the Office Of the
comptroller general show that the increase
Of the taxable property In the state this
year was not nearly 80 great as
the increase Of last year over the
year previous. In speaking Of this matter
to-day the controller general stated that In
his opinion the cause OF the falling or in
the inoreass was due TO the work of the
boards Of equalization which governed the
assessment Of property this year, the act
providing for these boards having been
passed by the last legislature.

the deserts of Egypt and India, and there
is talk of driving the northern limit Of
the Sahara back to where it was in Ro-

present line of cultivation. Mashona-

about which Englishmen are much in
