Six Good Eucalypts.

Eustis, Mr.. Norton mentions six spe,
cies OF Eucalyptus which are evidently
well adapted to the soil and climate of
Florida, and should prove valuable for
cultivation here. The folio wing extracts
from Won Mueller's descriptions Of these
tree NAV interest our readers and F o;e
how valuable and desirab the So sp. ces
are.
Enc, lyptus Amygdalina, Southeast
Austr: la ve'nacr larly known as brown
and white Peppermint Tree, Giant Gum
Tree, and as one of the Swamp-Gum
Trees. In sheltered springy forest
glens attaining exceptionally to a height
of over 400 feet, there forming smooth
probably the loftiest tree on the globe.
A tree measured at the foot of Mount
BAw-BAw, was AL {, ct high. Another
tree in the Cape Oway Ranges was
und to be 415 feet high and fifteen feet
in diameter, where cut in telling, at
considerable b, light above the ground.
Another tree measured sixty-nine feet
in circumference at the base of the stem
at twelve feet from tn ground it had
diameter of fourteen feet; at seventy
eight feet diameter of nine feet; at
IA feet diameter of eight feet. and at
21O feet a di imeter of five feet. The
wood is fssile, well adapted for shingles,
rails, for inner building material and
many other purposes, but it is not
strong wood. That of the smaller, rough
barked variety has proved lasting for
fence posts. Seedlings raised on rather
b.rren ground near Melbourne, have
shown nearly the same amazing rapidity
Of growth as those OF E globulus; yet,
like those of E. obliqua, they are not so
easily satisfied with any soil. In the
sou tn of France this tree grew to a
height of fifty feet in eight years. 1t
has endured the frosts of the miller
parts of England, with f. Gunnii and
E. vimnalis. In New Zealand it has
survived the cold, where E. globulus
succumbed. The now ell-knoWn Eu-
calyptus oil is furnished in greater or
less proportions by all the species. 1t
is this species which yields more volatile
oil than any other hitherto tested; thus
it is also one of the best for subduing
malarial effluvia in fever regions.
E. corynocalyx, South Australia,
Northwest Victoria. The Sugar Gum
Tree, timber tree, attaining a height
of 12O feet, length of pole sixty feet, cir
cumference at five feet from the ground
reaching seventeen feet. The wood has
come into use for fence posts and rail-
way sleepere. It's durability is attested
by the fact that posts set in the ground
fifteen years showed no signs OF decay.
The tree thlives we'll even on high, dry
ironstone ranges. The base the trunk
swells out sometimes in regular tiers.
The swedish foliage attracts cattle and
sheep which browse on the l)wer
branches, as we'll as on saplings and
seedlings. Scarcely any other eucalypt
is similarly eaten. In culture the writer
did not fnd this species verv quick
growth.
E. Leucoxylon. The ordinary Iron
bark tree, of Victoria and some parts OF
South Australia and New South Wales.

=
of the Cutter Hamilton Watching Snug.
glers at the Bear Creek Oil Works.
The following dispatch from Marcus
Hook published in a Philadelphia paper
on Monday is pronounced at the GUS
tom house here as absolutely false:
MARCUS Hook, Pa, Nov. 1S.--Uncle Sam
has sent the revenue cutter Hamilton up
the Delaware, in order to stop smuggling
at the Bear Creek oil works. Cigars, gin
brandy and notions Of various kinds have
been brought in by sailors who have en-
joyed immunity from inspection.
The revenue cutter Hamilton has been
in the jackson & Sharp docks for the
past three weeks and is there at this
moment, undergoing repairs. She has
received no orders from the department
to go to Marcus Hook.
It is known that private note was
sent from Chester to Philadelphia as
serting the story referred to. 1t ia'
understood that the note was sent on
addressed to the commander of the
Hamilton. II has remained unopened.
as the vessel has no captain at present,
the officer in charge is awaiting the ar
rival of the new captain. The former
officer states that no orders have been
received from Washington. The officer
would not have gone to Marcus Hook,
he says, without having disclosed the
matter to Collector Townsend of thil
port, who has jurisdiction there.

was voted that the order Of the hour, the
report of the committee on new associa-
ton, be deferred and that 1t he submitted
to the committee of arrangements for
further report as to time.
Encouraging reports were received
from several Bible schools.
The Rev. A. S. Cole spoke in behalf
of the Grocer Seminary Local Mission
ary Society.
Professor Q. F. Foster read paper on
"The Duty Of Baptists in Relation to
Their Denominational Schools" lie said
loyalty to their religious belief put upon
them the duty of making their belief
known. He spoke of the necessity of
denominational schools, and declared
that the fact that such schools exist
and their excellent character make
them necessary and show the
duty of Baptists towards them.
He gave statistics and showed that
those schools are as good as non
sectarian schools and colleges and from
this inferred that the Baptist Church
should contribute to their support and
bring them in closer proximity with
Baptists and that they should patronize
them by sending their children to them.
II was resolved TO ask Professor Foster
to loan the paper for publication and to
request the National Baptist to publish it.
Next the report of the committee on
new association was taken up and dis
cussed by the Revs. X. B. Cook, y. d.,
Miller Jones, s. X. Slemmons, B. j..
Savage and w. r. Patton, all of whom
favored 1t. One speaker suggested that
the proposed new association be called
the south Philadelphia Association, and
another suggested that it include the
Baptist churches on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia and be named
the Peninsula Association.
The president decided that the time
for taking such action had not arrived.
The report was unanimously adopted.
1t was resolved that the committee be
authorized to call next month council
for the purpose of carrying out the in
tention of the report
Mrs. Miller was heard in behalf of the
Philadelphia Baptist Training School.
The Rev. b. MacMakin spoke of city
missions, He held that the mission Of
the church is not only to worship, but
to work, and pleaded for mission work
on the line of UNCONVENTIONAL propa-
gandism. The missionary sections Of the
city, he said, are where strong churches
once were and they should hold the
places where these churches once ex-
listed and reach out for new places.
The doctrinal sermon was preached by
the Rev. +. S. Dobbins His text was
John VIII, 10: II am the Light of the
World"
The bylaws were so amended that
the semi-annual meeting, which is held
in May, will be omitted.
Garnett Peddleton, p. M. Fraim, John
r. Fielding and W. s. Bostc were
elected trustees.
The Rev Mr.. Bishop pronounced the
benediction.
Lunch was served in the apte-room.

An Old Fraud Perpetrated on Charitable
People by "Schooner'' Long and Hi.

For the past few weeks "Schooner"
Long and several companions have been
going about from place TO place selling
tickets for an alleged rattle for watch
which was to take place at a "cigar
store" located at No. 615 Madison
street. The tickets arc printed in the
regular manner and the prices range
from 10 to 25 cents. 1t is said number
of the tickets have been bought by
charitably disposed people upon the
representation that the money derived
from the rattle was to be donated to
man who had lost his leg in an accident
on the railroad.
Several people were approached by
Long in the Ninth ward and they pur.
chased the tickets. They afterwards
discovered that the rattle was flake"

While in Hilarious Mood He Was Re-
lieved ofa Watch and Chain.
Mrs. Jennie Beale and Grace Boyle
were arraigned in municipal court, Mon
day morning, chargedby William T..
Cramer, a cab-driver, with the larceny
of a watch and chain. Cramer testified
that the women hired cab from him
early Saturday morning. He became
intoxicated in some mysterious manner
and the girls relieved him of his jewelry
and penknife. He was unable to ex-
plain how he became intoxicated.
Joseph Bryer testified that he was in
Carroll's saloon, at No. l03 Shipley
street, Saturday morning, when his
attention was directed to Cramerf who
was lying drunk in a cab outside the
door. He awoke the cab-driver, who
then drove away.
officer James Shields was notified of
the larceny of the watch and arrested
the defendants who were taken to the
city hall.
Judge Ball, after hearing the evi-
dence in the case, said that hack drivers
ought to have a license in this city and
if Cramer had possessed such license
it would surely have been revoked for
his disgraceful conduct.
The prisoners were held for further
hearing.

DoG-cAroHER nArDEN FINED.
Convicted of Assault and Battery In
Municipal Court Yesterday.


Municipal Court Yesterday.
Dog-catcher Joseph Hayden and his
assistant, Thomas Ratledge, were ar
raigned in municipal court yesterday
upon a charge of assault and bat
terry preferred by John Carson and his
wife, Jane Carson, who reside at No.
Lammot street, in the Ninth ward. The
Carsons are very respectable old
couple.
They testified that their cows were
seized by, Hayden and his assistant, who
threatened to take the animals to the
pound. Carson raised money from his
neighbors to release the cows. The
cattle had been released from the barn
to permit Mr.. Carson to clean the stables,
and Mrs. Carson stood watching them
from the doorway. The dog-catcher
espied the cows and was driving them
off to the pound when Carson and his
wife interfered and were assaulted.
Several witnesses corroborated them.
Hayden and Ratledge made a state
ment in which they stated that Carson
and his wife were the aggressors.
Judge Ball, in passing sentence, told
Hayden that his conduct was most
reprehensible. He said that the law
never intended that the dog.catcher
should impound COWS that were not
roaming about. He said that Hayden's
actions were of such a nature as to war
rant his immediate dismissal.
The court imposed fine of $40 and
costs upon each defendant.

A Sweet Potato Blows Up.

Miss Bertha Smith, daughter of Justice
of the Peace Frank e. Smith, was in.
jured by peculiar accident on Satur-
day. She had placed some sweet
potatoes in the oven to bake, and when
one of the potatoes was turned over it
suddenly blew up with loud report.
Miss Smith was painfully burned about
the hand, but no serious results were
experienced. The particles of the
potato flew in every direction. The
presumable cause of the explosion is
the fact that the sweet potato contained
more or less water, which was con-
verted into steam while undergoing the
baking process, and the pressure upon
the potato caused it to explode.

Works, Paterson, N. j., for the Florida
Central & Pacific railroad, arrived in

near the French street crossing of the
P, W. & B. railroad. 1t was not off the
track long and traffic was not interfered
with. The top of Its cab is too wide to
permit it to pass through the tunnell,
near Baltimore, and it was taken to the
p, W. & B. shops to have the cabs top
made narrower.

Skull Fractured and Six Awful
Cuts on the Head.
WHILE ON A SICK BED
The Assailant Supposed to be
an Escaped Lunatic.
Discovered by the Daughter, He Fled
From the House.-The Injured Woman
in a Terrible Condition aud Likely TO
Die ut Any Moment.

BosToN, MASS, Nov. 21.-There was
an attempt at murder in the dwelling of
George H. Randall, member of Engine
No. 20, at No. 10 Indiana street, shortly
after o'clock this morning. The VIC
tim was Mrs. Randall, the wife of
George H. Randall, who for the last two
months has been lying ill in the front
room on the street floor of the dwelling.
Mrs. Randall's skull is fractured, and
there are six awful cuts on the side OF
her head, which were inflicted with an
iron bar torn from the gate in the roar
Of the house, The perpetrator of the
deed was an unknown man who is still
at large, and of whom the police have
but a meagre description.
Mrs. Randalps daughter, about 81
years old, fell asleep on couch in the
hall when she was aroused by hearings
noise IN her mothers room. Jumping
to her feet she rushed toward the door
and seeing man striking at her mother
began to scream. The man had one
hand under the pillow, evidently search
ing for her mothers pocketbook. When
he heard the screams he dropped the
bar, ran into the hall, through which he
passed into the kitchen and jumped out
of the window which he had entered.
AS he passed Miss Randall the man
clapped his hand over her mouth to still
her screams. When he jumped from
tho window his head struck the sash
and his hat, black derby, fell into the
room and is now in the possession of the
police, as is also the iron bar with which
the crime was committed.
Mrs. Randall is unconscious and, the
physicians state, is liable to die at any
moment The police incline to the view
that the deed was committed by an in
sane man who escaped from the asylum
at South Boston about o'clock last
night, and who answers the scant de-
scription of the man seen by Miss Ram

c., Takes Hand.

Special Agent Frank Stout Monday
paid visit to the house of Sarah
Boyle, No, 20 Mahaffy's Court, where
four small children were found living
in the most destitute circumstances. The
house was in filthy condition, and with
little furniture of any kind The floor
was covered with rags, which formed
the only place of repose for the children.
The fire in the stove had gone out and
not parcel of food was to be found.
The children lived in filth and squalor
while Mrs. Boyle was found too drunk
to look after their many needs.
In municipal court, Monday, the
woman was arraigned upon charges of
cruelty to children and keeping a dis
orderly house. She was held for fur
ther hearing.
