BAD MIDDLE IN FLORIDA
which VIII Result In the Shutting Out
OF Thousands of Votes

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 8l.-Goyernor
Fleming, late Saturday night, removed
from office Tax Collector j. T.. Johnson
o this (DuvaD county, for the reason that
johnson refused To receive money te endered
him in payment of poll tlSea on Sept. 3
last. Under the poll tax law the time for
qualification OF voters, by the payment OF
taxes, expired on that day. Johnson had
previously given public notice hat his
Office would close for business ut o'clock,
noon. There are two factions in the Dem
ocratic party in this county and both had
full county tickets in the field. The anti
Bail faction had one OF its leaders tender
s4JO0 in payment of the poll taxes Of 2OOO
voters after l2 O'clock which was refused
by the collector.
This faction claims that this action OF
the col lector dsfranchsed 300 Of their
voters, and gave their opponents the elec-
tion. They have been ever since inn
purtuning the governor TO remove john
son, and Saturday he yielded to their re-
quest. Now. Chairman Harvey OF tho
Third party state committee says that tho
refussls of tax money after hours on Sept.
were common all over the state. and
that TO be consistent, Governor Fleming
will have to remove at least third-fve out
OF the forty-ive county collectors.
Johnson will fight the governors order
In the courts. The case will 20 TO the su
preme court OF appeals and the supreme
court, which is partisan aud factional, will
sustain Fleming.
A precedent will thus be established,
and Harvey will go before congress, when
II meetsto count the electoral vote, and
claim that the action of the governor,
backed by the supreme court decision,
pra,t ly declares that voters were dis
franchised 10y the thousands by the action
OF tax collectors; that fully $1,000 men.
were thus shut out from voting, that this
was more than Cleveland's alleged sjor-
ity On Nov 8; and that therefore there
was no fair expression Of tho popular will
at the polls IN that day
The affair has produced 4 profound SEM
sation here. Democrats generally deplorel
the action Of the governor, declaring that
In his zeal TO hold up his faction In Duvsl
county, he has damaged himself and his
whole party. and may cause the throwing Z
out OF Florida's vote for Cleveland In tho
electoral college.

Judge Putnam read his decision. The
indictments against eX-president Potter,
charging him with the illegal certifcation
of checks, were sustained, and the demur-
rers filed by the counsel for the defendant
were overruled. No allegation Of deliver
ing Of the checks by tho bank was neces-
sary. The court held valid the counts
charging the illegal certification by Pot
ter, but held invalid those charging him
with aiding and abetting.
Fifty-six counts were sustained ont OF
the eighty-eight, and the remaining thirty
two were overruled. No questions were
decided thrt were not raised by counsel.
The indictments against Thomas Dana
and Joseph III. French are held invalid
and the demurrers sustained The indict-
ments charging Dana aud French with
making false reports To the comptroller,
the court says, ''the allegations Of the
indictment are not sustained 10y the

The decision does not rest on any narrow
grounds. The other indictment against
Potter, charging false entries, is not passed
upon by the court. Dana and French were
discharged from custody.

fire that st. Johnsbnry has ever known
broke out last evening and ragged fercely
for two hours before it was brought under
control. In that time several business
blocks and n large number OF stores were
destroyed. The flames first appeared In
the rear of Lougee Bros q Smythe's large
dry goods store on Railroad street. The
fire swept on with resistless force licking
up property to the value Of at least $780,
600. The high wind and the oil that wcs
stored in the burning building did much
TO assist the progress Of the flames.
The list OF the business houses burned
on Railroad street is as follows: Louges
Bros & Smyth's store, which contained .
large and valuable stock OF dry goods:
Balch's Photographic studio, on the top

cigar store; Sylvester's meat market;
Lynch's restaurant.
The last-named five stores were In
Wards block, n four story brick struc-
ture, three stories OF which were occupied
as tenements. Twelve or fifteen families
Were burned out in that block alone.

COunterfeitar Arrested in
Boston "SqueaIs."
COMPLETE OUTFIT FOUND.
They Were Making a Fat Living in
Boston and Vicinity.

Bos roN, Oct. 81 William ID. Fuller,
one Of trio Of al eyed counterfeiters ar
rested by officers of police station Sat
urdgy evening, has made a confession.
lie has told pretty hard story about tn.
"gang," which, coupled with the evidence
already secured, makes very strong case
against these men. Fuller made his
statement To Captain Irish and Officer
Clegg yesterday. He was closely ques.
toned by the police captain, who Is of the
opinion that Fuller, fearing conviction
aud hoping TO find leniency, told the story.
He started out by saying that he had ar
rived from Chicago but six weeks ago.
He said that he had lived in Chicago for
several years.
When he arrived in Boston he became
acquainted with John Dempsey and
William Powers. Powers had rooms at
II Norman street, where the work OF max.
ing counterfeit dollars was carried on.
The two men offered Fuller, so he claims,
an equal interest. his share Of the work
being to
Dispose OF the Bogus Coin.
He said that during the six weeks he had
been with them the gang had disposed OF
Lynn. South Boston and the business
part of Boston. Saturday evening was
the first time they had tried to operate in
East Boston.
The manner in which they worked was
for two To 90 together. One man would
have the bogus money while Fuller went
into a store and made a small purchase
II he was successful In passing the bad
money he returned To his pal, gave up the
ch luge, received another bogus dollar and
started into another store. Fuller claimed
that both Powers and Dempsey were the
two remaining members of the
Famous Counterfeiting Gang
which Captain Dawson of station 5 broke
up about two months ago.
Special Officer Clegg of Sration did the
principal part of the capture. As soon rs
Officers Flynn and German arrested Full
Ter, Officer Clegg was detailed TO ferret
out,the case, and from what Fuller said
started ior Boston. Hc went to station 8
and was given Officers Williamson and
Lee 10 assist him. They went to the house
Mt II Norman street and searched Powers
room and found concealed
The Entire Out6t,
comprising'melting kettle, ladle, moulds.
lead, plate tin and plaster paris.
After securing the Implements, Officer
Clegg waited for his men. and in few
moments Dempsey aud Powers arrived
and soon were chai ned together and locked
up in station 3. Later they were taken to
the East Boston station, where they are
now locked up.

DISPOSED OF QUIETLY.
The Rosdhouse Cases BEFORE Shove Thi,
Morning

Morning
This morning hundred curious youths
crowded into the court room expecting to
hear some spicy testimony in the trials of
the people captured at the rosdhouses n
week ago.
They waited an hour or more and then
departed with u look Of disappointment
on their faces. The cases were disposed
OF quietly.
Hector Monast, for keeping liquors for
sale, admitted sufficient evidence to con-
vict, was fined 900 and costs and sentenced
to 10 days in jail and appealed. For keep
ing a nuisance, he waived examination
and was bound over in the sum OF 1000.
The two cases against Thomas B. Gal
lagher ofa similar nature were disposed
OF the same way.
Mary Kearns, Ida Ch0ce, Mary Sullivan,
Emma Coating and Ellen Avery, charged
with being lewd, admitted sufficient evil
dence to convict, were sentenced to six
months on the Farm and appealed to the
higher court, furnishing surety for their
appearance.
The liquors captured at Thomas b.
Galligher's, Joseph Smiths and Hector
Monast's were forfeited to the State.
The cases OF Joseph Smith and Sadie
Howard, charged with keeping a nui-
sance; Edward Gallagher, charged with
vagrancy,a and Annie Brown, Josephine st.
Stepter, Louise st. Stcptcr and Mamie
Wilson, charged with being lewd persons,
were all continued two weeks.

In West Virginia ths steady tread for

"In 1883 Mr.. Cleveland was defeated IN

shadow the result of Nov s. The drift of
