moralizing habit and became clean man.

Pensacola NelUs: Those OF our towns
people who shlver with apprehension as
they read of the frightful ravages Of the
cholera should feel eomforted at the assur-
anoes of the older inhabitants, who tell us
there has never been a case of 1t known
here, or. In fact, anywhere near here in the
region OF the pine woods. Even in the
scourge of 1858, when New Orleans was so
arr 4Nka oil had xyfaf inn Of he
dread disease, though no quarantine was es-
tablished, and many people came directly
here from the infected city.
Tampa Tribune: To those who are per
sonally acquainted with the members OF the
state executive committee they need no
commentator. But the work done by them
in this campaign Is actually stupsndous.
such careful Investigation as to the status
OF every citizen and voter Of the state,
whether democrat, republican or mug
wump, has never been made or attempted.
SO perfect or thorough canvass OF the
state has never been made. Such careful
distribution Of campaign literature has
never before been seen. And for the Is 900
to %, 900 majority Florida will roll up we
are indebted to that committee largely.
DeLand Record: A number of third party
people, subscribers of the Record, In the
north end Of the county are refusing to take
their papers from thu office. We refer 70
those who are In arrears and honestly owe
this office. We do not object to persons
stopping their papers IL they do not like IL g.,
but we do object to them stopping 1t aud not
paying what they owe. No honorable or
honest man will do such trick. and the mai
that does it will raid q chicken roost. II
they are In the third party for reform they
are no credit to it. There are honorable
aud worthy citizens in the third party and
they should keep their hands on their
pockets when such scalawags as those re-
ferred to above are around.
Gainesville Sun: NJ. r. Smith Of Island
Grove, deputy sheriff, was in the CITY yes.
terday, having brought up a man from
that place on the supposition of insanity
1t seems that the prisoner, one George Nell
son, an Englishman, had been confined II
the state asylum before, but was discharged
Subsequently he came to Island Grove and
has been working around there at odd Jobs
for some eighteen months. About Il
o'clock Sunday night two gentlemen, one OF
| whom was Wilbur Tompkins, were at the
station and had left their horses hitohed
outside. Nelson stole the horse of Mr..
Iompkins aud, going TO the house of the
| Rev. Inman, woke him up and told him &C
come along, as he was going 20 get married
and wanted him to perform the ceremony.
Mr.. Inman did as be desired. In the mean
time Mr.. Tompkins discovered the loss OF
his horse and started In pursuit. Within q
couple of miles of Orange Spring the couple
| Nelson and the minister-were discovered
Nelson was arrested aud broughE here to be
examined for insanity.
| Tampa Tribune: From the tone of the
Havana papers it is thought one or two
cases OF cholera have occurred In Havana,
| While no positive statement has been made
to that effect, that is easily accounted for
| by the fact that the Spanish government
exercises very strict censorship over the
| Cuban press, and thoy would not dare to
make such a statement until it is officially
| announced, but they have intimated 1t
! strongly recently. The Plant steamship
| line is acting very cautiously, and now re-
fuses TO carry any passengers or freight
from Cuba. A csblegram received here
this morning stated that thirty.six passen-
gers who had already boarded

was taken aboard. The Cuban pspers de-
mand that military Gordon be established
at all ports on the island, and that gunboats
be furnished to patrol the coast and that all
ships arriving there from foreign ports be
sent TO the island of Mariel, the quarantine
station, which is about thirty-six miles
from Havana, for proper detention and
