TIME TO CALL A HALT.
Petty Thefts on the Increase in Many
Sections OF the City.

ESLIy AneILS on Jn0 increase In many
Sections OF the City.
The bold robberies which have occurred
so frequently of late in that section of the
city near the park, and the numerous
burglaries which are reported every day
or two from the southern section of the
city, have led many citizens to inquire
where the trouble lies, and to call in no
unmeaning terms for protection against
such crimes.
Within the last three weeks Mrs
George j. Baldwin Mrs. G. B. Malone,
Mrs. w. l.. Walthour and Mrs. D. B.
Morgan have had their pocketpooks or
other articles snatched from their hands
in the neighborhood of Bull and Aber-
corn streets and Gordon street lane, by
under the cover of the darkness
that was just coming on. Three young
ladies who were going home from one Of
the early weddings q few days ago met
with similar eXpe rieuce. In addition
to the losses, ladies who are attacked in
this manner are liable to experience Sc
we're fright.
the trouble lies and the evil cor
rected. There are only twenty-six
policemen on duty throughout the
entire city during the night, commencing
at 6 o'clock. The question is, is this
force sufficient to properly patrol the
southern as well as the business portion
of the cityl The policemen have been
asked about the gus on o. these rob
berries and other crimes, ana Ghey say that
attention is now being paid to those
sections especially where these deeds are
known to have been committed. Whether
effective surveillance is being given them
or not the near future will probably tell
AS yet the attempts to catch these Gull
prits, if any such attempts have been
made, have met with only smallmeasure
of success.

Great interest is being manifested in
the lace and fancy work exhibit at St.
Johns parish hall, and there was
a large attendance yesterday. The
ladies who have gotten up

That the sagacity of President Duval,
of the Florida Central and PeninsUlar
railroad. is known and appreciated in
financial circles is shown in the following
extract from a long article on his road in
the Daily Financial News of New York:
H, r. Duval, president, of 80 Nassau
street, New York city, took, this road, as
receiver, then only GOO miles long, in
ruined condition; but within compare
lively short space of time he has brought
il to be one of the finest railroads in the
south. Besides equipping it as described,
he has established several new stations
along the line, and the road has proved
to be great blessing to the entire PENN
sular state. Through his efforts new in
dustries have been started, prominent
among which is the Owl Cigar and To-
bacco Manufacturing Company, which
has revived the tobacco interest of Flor
ida, with $4,000 acres in cultivation, and
now raising the richest hayors grown for
cigars, equaling the best quality raised
on the island of Cuba,
Branches of his line have enabled TIE
opening up of all the important phosphate
mines of Florida and the erection of large
phosphate elevators at Fernandina. Too
much praise cannot be said of Mr.. Duval
for his foresight and indefatigable perse-
verance in expanding the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad to the northward,
as an interstate line; the wisdom of which
labor has also demonstrated it is a salts
factory financial undertaking, it being
now one of the few profitable southern
lines. The stock of this company is mostly
owned by capitalists residing in New
York city, notably William Bayard Cut
ting, r. Fulton Cutting, Mr.. Duval and
few others holding the controlling inter-
est as q paying investment. We hope
70 u 70 nc tn
speak more freely Of the great national
and geographical advantages of the
road and give brief sketch of its origin,
history and brilliant physical and fnan-
cial developments at the hands of Mr..
DuVal

They swarmed the stores with the excur-
slonlsts from the country. and made the
city trade lively with buying. Only four
days remain in which to buy Christmas
gifts, aud shoppers will have to make the

wave is spread out over the northwest

DAY and tomorrow. The mercury was
down to within few degrees of the zero

Eruption of the skin Cured.

Ed. Venney Brockville, Ontario, Can
ada, says: II have used BRANDRETH's
PILLS for the past fifteen years, and
think them the best cathartic and anti
bilious remedy known. For some five
years I suffered with an eruption of the
skin that gave me great pain and annoy
ance. I tried different blood remedies,
but, although gaining strength the itch
ing was unrelieved. 1 finally concluded to
take thorough course of BRANDRETH's
PILLS. took six each night for four
nights, then five, four, three, two, lessen
ing each time by one. and then for one
month took one every night, with the
happy result that now my skin is per-
fectly clear and has been so ever since. ;"
