ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Three Men to Answer for the Death O.
John R. Ely, Jr.

Three Men to Answer for the Death Of
John R. Ely, Jr.
MARIANA, FLA, June 13.-The grand
jury at this term Of court found true bills
against Cabe Espy. Buck Ham, Choice
Adams and Henry Simmons for the murder
of John r. Ely, Jr., on Dec. Is last, and
to-day was set for the trial Of all those in
custody, viz. Ham, Summons and Adams.
The state is represented by w. H. Milton,
prosecuting attorney, assisted by r. B.
Garter, B. 8. Liddon and Col. Hammond
of Townsville, Ga The latter is an old
schoolmate Of Capt John Ely, father Of the
murered boy, and is assisting in the prose-
cution out Of old friendship. He has gone
further and offers $500 for the apprehension
OF Espy the only one of the assassins now
at large. The defense was granted sever
ance and Col. r. H. Walker of Columbia,
Ala, is representing Adams and Ham.
Hams case was called first, and a motion for
a continuance overruled and the court is now
trying to select jury. Beside the regular
jurymen a special venire of 100 has been
summoned. Never in the annals of this
county has so much interest been manifested
IN a criminal trial as in this one. The
three trials will consume all of this and next
week In all probability on account of the
great number of witnesses aud vast amount
OF evidence to be adduced.

CLEANED AT GAINESVILLE.
Marvellous Deposits Brought to Light
By Prospecttors.

By Prospecttors.
GAINESVILLE, June 13.-Prospectorssand
developers of phosphate mines inside the
city lines and in both instances not over
three-quarters Of mile from the public
square, have laid bare some Of the most as
tonishing deposits of animal. fish and rep
tile remains yet discovered. These deposits
| are known in commerce as pebble phosphate
and the beds from present appearances,
seam almost inexhaustible.
William Sumner. AN Englishman, bought
| from Capt T. B. Ellis, twenty-seven acres
of an old wornouJ field bordering run
five blocks west of the court house two
years ago. With the proverbial plodding
and stick~to-it-iveness Of his race, unaided
and alone, he wheeled out hundreds OF
cubic yards of superlncumbent earth and
was at last rewarded with the discovery of
a strata Of prehistoric remains from five to
fifteen feet thick and underlying the whole
Of his twenty-seven acres. He washes the
bones from the clay and decomposed bone
matrices by hand and has sold
100 tons at SIS per ton. This deposit shows
a high percentage of phosphate Of lime, and
Mr.. Sumner showed the MORNING News
correspondent two letters from firm in
London, England, proposing to become his
agent in that city for Great Britain and the
whole of Europe, saying at the same time
that they had present purchase for 1000
tons Of the product of his nine
Harry Magee is also putting
in machinery for washing his product
which is Identical with Mr.. Summers, but
on another run northwest OF the court
house three quarters OF mile. Capt. Ellis
has quite number Of acres just above
Summers, on which the phosphate crops
out at the surface Indications are that the
tains this deposit, as five miles north OF the
city, at Paradise, the same strata is
being worked by Moat AZ Co.
Chickens eagerly swallow the small bits of
indurated bone, which take the place of
pebbles, which are scarce, and they are
thus supplied with material to grind their
food and plenty of lime for making the
shells Of their eggs. The shells OF the eggs
of hens that are thus supplied are much
harder than those of other hens not having
access to the pebble phosphate.
The successful growing OF oranges In this
section is now assured and the crops of corn
and cane will be largely augmented as ex-
periments with crude or unground and un-
treated deposits have been made with sue
cess in the growing Of the three named.
The farmers and fruit growers being now
enabled to get cheap, and at the same
time, essential, fertilizer near at hand will
become more prosperous and less dependent
upen the corn growers of the west.
Just speaking of chickens reminds
me Of a new use for the cucumber. In ad-
dition to its being the best remedy ever used
for the determination Of reaches. Mr..
Sheffield, a farmer near Hague, tells me
that he uses it to kill the jigger or chicken
flea. He says he cuts cuke in half and
rubs the heads OF his chickens with it. The
Juice Of the cuke kills the flea almost
instantly.

he SOLICITED A BRIDE.

Then it Was Found That the Wicked
Juror Was Former Train Robber.
From the Neto York Sun.
SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-A sensation
was created at the city hall yesterday by
the arrest of a juror in a Chinese case for
soliciting bride. The prisoner is Juror J.
n. Squires. a shopkeeper. The case con-
earned a disagreement between rival
Chinese railroad contractors and involved
$4,000. Chickeripg & Smith, attorneys
for the defendant, yesterday told the judge
that they were approached by Squires, who
for them. They are lawyers of excellent
standing. The judge promptly dismissed
the jury and ordered Squires into custody.
The authorities were amazed later to find
that Juror Squires is a retired train and
stage robber, with one of the hardest GRIM
tnal records on the coast Detective Hume
of the Wells-Fargo Express Company
Squires had professed repentance. Hume
said to-day that Squires was sent to the
Carson penitentiary i'll Nevada for twenty
three years in 1870 for robbery of the Gen.
trail Pacific train at Verdi, but he was
pardoned ten years ago. This Verdi rob-
berry was the first of the bold train robber-
les that have since been frequent. 1t was
planned by the notorious criminal, big Jack
Daers. who gathered band of nine des-
peradoes and robbed the train in scientific
style. All, except two who turned states
evidence, were sent to the penitentiary for
long terms.
One year later they made break. killed
three guards, and escaped across the desert,
but were all captured. Squires had some
political pull, and thus got pardon. He
admitted to Detective Hume that he had
robbed many stage coaches while he was
ostensibly engaged IN prospecting in the
Sierras. He was regarded as a criminal of
poor nerve, and Hume thought his reforma-
tion was genuine. The evidence against
him now is so conclusive that he will get a
long term in states prison.

DRY sells 80, 900 feet OF oxygen per month,
and keeps on hand nearly that quantity in
storage tanks. That volume of the gas
weighs more than a ton and a quarter.
Several other concerns sell nearly as much
more. and q large quantity of hydrogen is
sold to go with it for USE in producing the
lime light at theaters, lectures and. clinics.
Besides this, oxygen and hydrogen are sold
in mixtures Of various proportions. and a
great volume of nitrous oxide or laughing
gas is sold to dentists, surgeons and hos
pitfalls.
Not only are gases sold in large quanti-
ties 70 local consumers. but they are sent
by express all over the country. Laughing
gas in particular has an enormous sale in
various parts Of the United States, and is
also shipped to the most remote parts of
civilized South America. The express
companies handle this peculiar freight with
out special charge. and the makers say that
accidents never occur.

Rice Their Only Currency.

The Rev II. w. Swartz and wife of New
York. who for eight years past have been
missionaries in the little>known interior of
Northern Japan have been in the city. For
a good part of the time hey have been
absent they have been in rural Japan, where
were spread out before them in every d.
rection hundreds of thousands of acres
of rice, all cut up into enthusiastically small
patches, like the pieces in a crazy quilt. and
each possessed of an independent owner.
For quite time, too, they were 10 the mul-
berry and silk regions. Scarcely a white
person was in the country to bear them
company all this time, and it was quite
lonely, so hrs Swartz said. Rice in that
entire region constituted almost the sole
currency, as coonskins did in certain parts
of the west among the pioneers for many
years.
