Tampa Times: The fish dealers are
shipping heavily now, and they find ready
sale for all the fish they can get. The
running season is just commencing, and in
a short time fish viii be very plentifuLThe
shipping Of fish in bulk, carload lots, is
no longer an experiment, IL is a success,
and there are three carloads week being
shipped this season to Savannah, Macon,
and Charleston. John Savarese is the
heaviest shipper. He finds the hsh ship
well in this way. arriving in good condi-
ton, while the saving to the dealer In eX-
press charges is a great consideration. He
received the first cargo, 10000 pounds, Of
red snapper yesterday for this season. Mr..
Savarese has bought out the oyster bust
ness of the Tampa Fish and Ice Com
pany, and is the exclusive dealer now in
oysters. He says the heavy rains almost
destroyed the oyster beds, and they will
be very scarce this season He has to
send TO Crystal river, and to Sarasota for
oysters this season. The oyster crop in
Chesapeake bay is also injured, so that
the lovers of these toothsome bivalves
will not be able to crafty their palates
at the usual price this year.
Negroes entered and robbed the resi-
dence of Mrs. Howell, near Newberry, in
Alachua county, Tuesday afteI -.Jon, and
after thoroughly ransacking the entire
house, left the place, carrying with them
several articles of value. Mrs. Howell
was at home alone, and the negroes
were accompanied by a negro woman,
whom they sent forward under the pre-
tense of begging for something to eat,
but whose real object was to ind out
who was on the premises. She was re-
fused admission, and departed in the d.
rection of Camps phosphate mine. Short
ly afterward two men, who had been con D.
cealed in the sugar cane patch near by,
presented themselves, making some ugly
threats and grossly insulting -drs. Hol-
well, who, fearing violence, secured what
money there was in the house and fed
to the camp mine in the vicinity at which
her husband is employed. News of the

commenced a search for the scoundrels.
Bloodhounds were obtained and put on Il u
track, but owing TO a shower of rain
Immediately after the search was COM
menced, nothing could be accomplished

afterward arrested, but could not be iden-
tilted with the crime, and We're released.
The search, however, is till in progress.
DeLand News: John B. Stetson left
for Philadelphia Wednesday morning, but
before leaving he made arrangements for
the formation Of a corporation with a cap
ital stock of 100000, to operate the cleo
trio road, the ice plant and the electric
light plant. The plan adopted is to form
a stock company of 5000 shares of a par
value of 500 each. Mr. Stetson himself
has taken 700 shares and T. G. Search 100
shares. Mr. Stetson asks the people of
DeLand, Orange City, Glenwood and De-
Leon TO take 400 shares or $4,000 worth OF
the stock and agrees to dispose of the bal
ance himself About 1880 shares must be
taken before work can be commenced, and
of these about 1000 have already been
taken. It is hoped that enough more will
be taken to let work on the new road
commence Immediately. The ice and cleo
trio light plants are already paying
handsome interest on the investment and
including them in the new stock company
will make the stock all the more desira-
BILE The electric road as proposed, to run
from DeLeon Springs through Glenwood
to DeLand thence to Beresford and Or
ange City, and perhaps in time to Winnie
missett and Lake Helen, would be the
greatest boon the merchants of DeLand
and the fruit growers along the route
have ever had. 1t would be a grand thing
for the DeLand merchants, because it
would place the trade of the whole sec
ton right at their doors; it would be n
boon to the growers because IT would give
them their choice of three competing
transportation companies-the Jackson
Vile, Tampa and Key West, the Clyde
line and the Jacksonville, st. Augustine
and Indian River railway.
