ST Augustine Press. The articles stolen
from DR. Alexander q few DAYS ago. which
was mentioned in the Press, have been found
Or. Alexander had a suspicion that the fellow
Pierce. who created a sensation while back
by "swjping' diamonds. had stolen them, so
he called on Manager Knott at Hotel Cordova
and requested 10 be allowed to examine
Pierce 5 trunk, which is still at the COrdOva
and see II they could be found therein. Dr.
Alexander first drew picture OF each article
lost, describing each Of them. He and Mr.
Knott then went through the trunk, and
found the articles packed away at the bottom
OF the trunk wrapped up securely IN piece
OF brown paper. Lhey were at once returned

Arrangements are being made for having a
canal cut from the swamp south OF Aucilla to
q small creek about one mile further south.
This has long leeu needed, and since these
heavy rains have been falling it has le-Ome
necessity, and viii prove a lasting benefit to
Aucilla. William Allen has drained swamp
covering an area OF nearly twenty-five acres
during this last week, rendering tillable
very valuable piece Of land. There are thOus-
ands OF acres Of the very best land in this
from 81 10 60 per acre. which would then be
worth $50, awaiting some farseeing, enter
prislng man. The citizens of AuCilla nave
also made arrangements to have a large canal
cut, draining all the large ponds surrounding
the village
Ocala New Capitol: The Capital Phosphate
Company and the Marion company are having
q little wrangle over the property that the
former had recently located upon and opened
up, and the latter at the present writing APP
pears tO-have the best OF the tght-pOsses-
sion The right of title will have to be set
tied by the courts. II appears that the Capt.
tai company claim rights under the mineral
from the +. G. & r. r. r. Co. The former
were on the ground at work but were forced
to eVacuate by the latter, bag and baggage.
This is similar to case tried in the United
States courts last year, a decision being rem
dered to the effect that the property was still
United States vacant land. What the out
come will be remains to be seen.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad has
completed arrangements by which shippers
fllom the middle and western states will be
enabled to extend their trade with the island
OF Cuba. For eighteen months a line OF
steamers has been in successful operation be-
tween Pensacola ana Havana 1t has now
been arranged in connection with this line to
afford western shippers access to the follow
ing additional ports IN Cuba: Cardenas,
M atanzas, Sagua, LaGrande, Caibarien, Port
OF Nuevitas, Puerto Principe, Santiago and
Cibnfuegos. The schedule Of the steamers in
the line between Pensacola and Havana will
be adjusted so as to make close connection
with the steamship lines from Havana to the
Cuban ports mentioned. 1t is expected that
western shippers OF grain, food products and
manufactured goods will be enabled to reach
a market that has been heretofore supplied
almost exclusively from the east.
