A PROSPEROUS FLORIDA TOWN.
Memorial Services at Sanford and
Elsewhere

Longwood, Fla, June To-day the
new and handsome depot of the South
Florida railway was opened for business,
and Station Agent w. B. Zachry wore a
broad and self-satisfied smile upon his
face. 1t is one of the finest depots in
South Florida. -1

around the Florida Midland railroad
depot, while in other parts of the city
needed improvements have been made
Rumor says the hotel, which has been
closed for two seasons, is to be put in
good condition and reopened in first-class
style this fall, All in all, the outlook for
the futures of Longwood is quite encour-
aging.

Park and Orlando To-day his son and
partner, Mr.. Charles C1ouser, moved his
family to the latter place to take charge
Of that branch store. OF course Long
wood regrets the loss, temporarily even,
of so excellent a family.
MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
georgia fl. Thomas Post, No, Z, Grand
Army of the Republic, held memorial SER
vices this year in Masonic hall. AS this
is one of the best grand army organiza-
tons in the state, its observance of the
day was very creditable to the old soldiers
and their friends. An abundance of flags,
flowers and eyergreenS made the hall ex
ceedingly attractive, and there was
large attendance of members of the post,
its ladies relief corps, the sons of veterans
and friends. Post Department Com
mander E. W. Henck presided, as the
post commander is department chaplain,
and off1ciated as such Mrs. M. f. Brig
ham, of Altamonte Springs, gave most
touching and pathetic Memorial DAY reci-
tation. and Miss Della Morrison, of Matt
land, recited 1.-The Soldiers Requium."
The addresses were made by Department
Chaplain S. Herbert Lancey and Col. E.
c. Dam, and were quite appropriate to
the occasion.
--, sANFoRD's MEMORIAL DAY.
Usually Gen. Harvey Post, No. 16, G.
A. r., has public parade and services at
the opera house, as well as a decoration
of the graves of the union soldiers buried
in the cemetery in that city. This year,
however, the public parade and services
were dispensed with and the comrades
simply visited the cemetery and put flow
ers upon the soldiers' graves. Commander
f. j. Blinn is absent seeking health, and
as the post has no chaplain at present,
Department Commander ID. l.. Way acted
as chaplain for the services at the ceme-
terry, which were participated in by some
of the members of the Ladies Relief
Corps.

box which is only about one-half as heavy
as the box now in use, while its capacity
is just the same. Owing to the difference
in weight, the transportation companies
would admit twenty more boxes of
fruit to the carload than the established
rule at present. The box is far less ex-
pensive than the standard box.

His Signature REQUIRED.

A pretty sharp note was sent by
the health officer this morning to a
physician who had failed to certify
TO the death of Mexican child,
named NicOdemo Moline. Its
parents could not get a burial per-
nit for the corpse and told the
officer that the physician would
not issue them a death certificate
until they had paid him dollar
for mis- visit to see the infant. They
we're too poor to pay the dollar at
present, they said.
The note stated that the doctor
must show cause why he refused
TO issue the death certificate.

r. sANTLEBEN'S CAPTURE
he Plays the Role OF Detective
in a Successful Manner.

IN successful manner.
Last evening when Mr.. August
Santleben went home, ne called his
hostler, John Bacon, colored boy,
and receiving no answer went to
the stable and found Bacon and
three other negro boys in the act
of stealing grain from him. He
caught Bacon, but the others ran
off, one of them jumping from
second story window, into the al
ley beyond. One of them as he ran,
spilled a bucket of shelled oats he
was carrying away. Bacon was
turned over to the police, and was
this morning fined $40 on charge
of disorderly conduct.
Mr.. Santleben says he has had
Bacon employed for over a year
and half and he has been very
faithful until recently, when he
began to grow careless.
About the same time feed for
the stock began to disappear in
appreciable quantities and he has
been on the watch. Yesterday he
surprised the thieves and caught
ore. The others will be caught.

The Expenses Were Not Pad.

An item in yesterdays LIGHT
under the heading "Bought His
Coffin" does the firm of Sheern &
Burnett an unintentional Injustice,
which the LIGHT takes pleasure in
removing.
The administrator, Mr.. b
Stephenson, stated that instead Of.
Col. Tom Breckenridge having
paid the expenses of the funeral.
that gentleman says he did not
pay the expenses, and therefore, he,
Stephenson, accepted the account
as just and it will be paid. The
whole affair, at the time of the
selection of the coffin, was a Joke,
and was so treated by all parties
concerned, though Mr.. Eckford al
ways took his friends around to
see the coffin, whenever he could
persuade them to go.
Mr.. Stephenson says the only de-
Tense he will make before Probate
court is on the allegations that he
had been misappropriating the
funds Of the estate for his own ben
eft, instead of selling it and pay
ing the debts pro rata. AS to
Shoern & Burnett ever receiving a
dollar on the account from Brack-
enridge, or others, he says they did
not, and therefore the firm is just
ly entitled to their bill, which will
be paid.
The LIGHT takes pleasure in set
ting the matter right, as this firm
is one Of the oldest and most up
right in the city.

Last night the attraction at the
Opera house was The Silver We'd
ding a new farce comedy. The
company is made up of some OF the
best people in their lines on the
stage, notably, Charles V. Seaman.
Sol Aiken and Miss Georgia Lau-
renee. All the people in the cast,
however, are entertaining and
capable, and all the girls good
looking and graceful. Miss Taylor
has an enhancing voice. Misses
Rose and Rock do one Of the most
modest dances ever seen. Take all
in all it has been a long time since
as charming a reyf 'rmance of the
same nature has, b zen seen on a
Wheeling stage. A very large au-
dience, considering tn , uncomfort-
able warmth of the nj int, laughed
and applauded tt 70 rghOut the
production. 1t will b. repeated

It seems hardly more than nee
zassary to more than announce the
rEsct that w. G. Anderson's new
Carce comedy "The Jolly Old
EChums" will be seen in the city,
to insure a crowded house. Mr..
Anderson's attractions have al
ways given such eminent satisfac-
tiOn that one feels safe in going,
knowing full we'll that he will al
ways keep faith with the public.
"The jolly Old Chums" is said
to be even funier than 1.-TWO Old
Oroaies," which created such a
favorable impression where ever
produced, and made more money
for it's owners than any other farce
comedy on the road during it's
time for five consecutive seasons.
