on their way to kissimmee that the town of
| New Smyrna, on the east coast. was sub

river to which was tied dog which was

Orlando Reporter: The damage resulting to
the orange crop from the storm which passed
| over this vicinity yesterday is variously esti
mated at from fifteen to twenty-five per cent
| by those who own or have charge Of groves
| around this section of the country. The gen
| eral opinion, as gathered from persons coming
| into town from the localities where the largest
| groves are located, is that the damage to the
| fruit itself Is quite heavy, and the whipping
| off Of branches of the trees Will make the I'll
innate damage much greater than at present
is apparent. A large quantity of the fruit on
the Seeding groves was badly thorned and
| these, together with the greater number of
| trees which are stemtwisted, will make it
impossible to give any accurate estimate of
the percentage of damage until the fruit thus
| injured begins to drop.

Saturday. Five other of Mr.. Ward S children

dimes on Friday, and each OF them was
seized with vomiting Immediately after eat
ing the sardines, though some of them ate
| only mouthful. No other members of the
family. of which there are several other chill
dren, who did not eat any of the sardines
were stricken with this peculiar Illness. The

that the sardlnes were the cause of the sick

girl death.
