The longest speech on record is
believed by the "Pall Mall Bud

Mr.. DeCosmos when the measure
was pending, the passage Of

many settlers their lands. De-
Cosmos was in a hopeless minor

till the eve of the close OF Tho ses:

ken before noon of q given day
the act ofconfscation would fail:
The day before the expiration of
the limitation DeCosm Os got the
floor about 10 a. 10. and began
a speech againet the bill. Its
friends cared little, for they sup.
posed that by one or two o'clock
he would be through and t h 8
bill could be put ON it's passdge.
One o'clock cafre dnd DeCoslnos
was speaking still-had not m ore

Then 2 o'clock came-he was say

o'clock-he produced a fearful
bundle of evidence and insisted
on reading it. The majority he:

truth, he was going to speak un-
til next iidon and kill the bill.
For a while they made merry o.

tried Interruptions but soon a.
bandoned them, because each one
afforded him q chance to dieress

shout him down, bnt that gave
him a breathing space and final.

the combat between strength Of

gave him no nercy-1o adjourn

The speaker, to whom he was ad

doing, snoring and trying To
look wide awake. Day dawned
and the majority slipped out in
squads to wash and breakfast
and the speaker still held on. 1t
cannot be said that it was q very

speech. There were digressions
in it, repetitions also. But still
the speaker kept on; and at last

Selection of Officers.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, April 3.-The first
gun in the legislative battle has been fred
and the result ia not such as to encourage
any further attempt TO deepen the faotioual
disagreement among the democracy. The
legislature oonvenes tomorrow and the
democratic caucus Is now in session. The
chief officers of the body have been chosen
and those who came to conquer remain to
mourn.
Mr.. Reynolds OF Polk county has defeated
the brilliant and aggressive St Clair
Abrams for president of the Senate, and in
the House Capt. John b. johnson of Pasco
walked away with the speakership from
DR.. Gaskins of Bradford to the tune of 81

Call faction and their defeat Only caps the
china brought up at the Tampa conven-

Charles A. Finley and Lamont Bailey

Of the Senate, and in the House DR.. Bynum
and George Dickinson have been chosen to
fill the same positions. The result B a
crushing blow to the faction that has long
held its own in Florida and the course Of

necessarily be largely controlled by those
who have been instrumental In bringing
about this result. The caucus is still In SEES

he Denies That Re Gave Any Of the
Money to Mrs. Hammond.
ATLANTA, GA, April 3-Lewis Redwine,
the defaulting cashier OF the Gate City Ma
tional Bank, is anxious to have the public
understand that he did not give any Of the
banks missing money into the keeping OF
Mrs. Hammond, the woman held at the
county jail as his accomphce.
Mrs. Hammond and the ex-cashier
were infatuated with each other,
but the young man. whether TO help her
out of the trouble in which she has become
involved in connection with the IOotinE OF
the bank, or because he chates under the
humiliation which the alleged partnership
of such a woman enjoyed with him Ia his
defalcation brings, want the public to
understand that there IS nothing at ell in
she present charge against her.
When asked by the News correspondent
20 day if he had ever en- Mrs. Hammond
aDv Of the money which be is charged with
having carried away from the bank he re-
piled that he was anxious to publicity sn-
sver such question, but under the direc-
tion of his counsel his GDs were absolutely
sealed concerning the bank case for the
present Red evidently desired TO
create the impression that his reply to
the question, which he was
so anxious to make would
direct to she public requested the NEWs
correspondent to visit bis attorneys ard
secure their permission for him to talk upOn
this point.
Col. Hammond, the leading counsel for
Redwine, could not let down the bars TO
newspaper men by giving Redwine per-
mission TO make the statement he plainly
wanted to make, because it would lead TO
further opportunities for interviews which
would conflict with his line Of defense. but
he was willing to allow the impression, as
created by Redwine to stand as fact.
Naturally it is not to be
expected that Redwine would admit it if he
had given any Of the banks money to Mrs.
Hammond, but at the same time his desire
to have the public discredit the charge of
her completely Is interesting, especially as
the impression is already strong that Mrs.
Hammond never 80 much as saw any part
Of the $50, 600 Redwine is supposed to have
taken in his flight.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. April 3.-The city Of
Florence, about sixty miles from Columbia
on the Atlantic Coast Line road, came near
being wiped out by fire this morning. The
fire originated in the store of G. T. Parker
about o'clock, and spread rapidly, destroy
ing the stores occupied by l..
r. Ives, Nachman q Reppan, J. J. Cox, j. l..
BarrinRer, T. G. Waughby, James Allen &
Son, Bristows and the city hall building.
When the fire had eaten up this much il
was thought the worst had passed, but it
soon broke out again in the Central hotel,
sweeping everything in its path from there
20 Lakes drug store on the corner.
About o'clock an inoendiary was seen
applying the torch 70 the building Of o. S.
Ellis. which was burned.
The Killough music house and the Bank
OF the Csrolinas followed.
There we're also burned the stores of T..
d. Collins, Joseph Walter, +. D. William
son, F. J. Fuller, A. Weiustein and Mrs. j..
w. Bethea.
The store Of Or. F. U. Lake was badly
damaged, and the Western Union telegraph
building was destroyed.
The heart of the business portion Of the
town is in ashes. This includes the new
Central hotel. one Of the handsomest IN the
state, and a score Of business houses, Bust
ness has been at a standstiI all dav.
1t is curious coincidence that on the
afternoon Of Easter day 1891 the old Central
hotel was burned.
The fire was undoubtedly Of iucendiary
origin, but there is no clew to the perpe-
traitor.
The city records were saved, but many
valuable personal papers have been lost.
The loss is estimated at 5000 coo. the in.
suranoe being about one-fourth that
amount
