A Brand New Town.

Newberry, Florida, Is new town
just established on the S. F. & w. r..
R., in Alachua county between Archer
and High Springs.
The surrounding country is one Of
the best agricultural sections in this
state, producing all the staple crops so
abundantly that the farmers are very
prosperous.
Its location is in the centre
famous High Springs phospha
gion, perhaps he best " Florids
the extensive operations " - -
carried on in connection with this
great industry, viii make a large and
fiourishing town grow up rapidly.
II is the enterprise of our hustling
real estate firm, Sam w. league & Co.,
who, in connection with some New
York capitalist, own large tracts OF
fine phosphate lands Immediately on
the railroad.
The people living in this section
were consulted as TO the right place,
and the selection receives the support
and encouragement of all.
Every condition favorable to the
building of l.Fge town exists here,
such as phosphate, splendid farming
country and the best timbered lands
touched by the whole Plant System.
Under such auspices lookout for
Newberry, as the men back Of II are
one of the important factors in the
combination.

The Murdererer Of Deputy Sheriff Geo.
Binnioker Pays the Penalty Of His
Rash and Unoalled for Crime.
Quite a number of country people
attended the hanging, especially from
the neighborhood of Pennington, Geo.
Binnicker's old home, where he had
many staunch friends aud admirers.
The crowd began gathering at 10
o'clock, and by the time Dansy was
led to the scaffold fully 500 persons,
most of chem colored, had congre-
gated around the inclosure, taking
advantage If every coin of vantage
on which to perch themselves for a
better look.
The cupalO on DIR. r. d. Thomp.
sons house was crowded, as was the
roof Of the old Jail stables on the Jail
lot A number of wagons had driven
in, while the small boy was emphati.
cally on top, having climbed the oak
trees near the enclosure and from the
top OF them looked down on the scat
fold.
The Ocala Rifles. in charge of Lieu
tenant Davidson, were on hand, thir-
teen within the inclosure and three at
the gate leading into the lot.
The adnittsnce was by ticket, some
ninety being issued by the sheriff.
The local press was well represented.
Dansy mounted the scaff0Id little
before twelve accompanied by Father
O'Riley, but by the time he had made
his statement, prayers offered and the
moose adjusted it was half past.
He confessed he did the murder,
said he was angry and wished to be
revenged, cautioned all the young ne
groes to take warning at his fate and
to abstain from carrying concealed
weapons.
AS TO his attorney, Wideman, he
had nothing to add to what he bad
told the grand and petit jury.
He thanked all who in any way had
anything to do with him, especially
the fairness of his trial and the kind
ness shown him by Sheriff Hodge and
jailer Charlie Smith.
Drs. Izlar and Hood were the physi.
clans In attendance.
Joe Mcpherson put on the black
cap and deputy sheriff Nugent arran-
ged the moose and sprang the trap that
sent the soul of Ed L. Dansy before
his maker.
He died by strangulation.

EDISON ECLIPS SED.
THE MOST REMARKABLE INVENTION
OF MODERN TIMES.

Railroad Accidents Impossible in the
Future-Trains Controlled as if In
fused with Will POwer-The Points Of
the Invention Read like Fairy Tale.
Mr.. r. r. Snowden and A. G. Ives,
of this city, have invented a safety
system for railroads which is destined
to place their names alongside the
most noted inventors of modern times.
The invention which they have been
industriously working on for months,
and have az last perfected, will effec-
tually prevent railroad collisions, and,
that, too, without the Intervention of
human agency.
We merely give the main points Of
this most remarkable invention:
Two trains may be meeting each
other on the same track at any rate of
speed, each being ignorant Of the
approach of the other; the engineer
and fireman, or, for that matter, all on
board of either or both trains may be
dead or asleep, and yet as soon as these
trains get within a mile of each other,
they will both stop automatically stone
still. When other trains come along
In either direction, they are also
stopped before reaching the first ones,
and so on as many trains as may come
along VIII stop without colliding
If a car, or several cars, break loose
from a train and are left behind, they
are automatically protected from
trains coming in either direction.
A train approaching crossing will
run on through at full speed if no
other train Is near, but if another is In
dangerous proximity to the crossing In
any direction, both will be aut0mati-
cally stopped.
If switch is prepared for an ap-
preaching train to run In on and the
other end of the switch is also prepar-
ed for the train TO re-enter the main
track, it will run through the switch,
but If either end of the switch La open;
or, II another train stands on the
switch, the engine will automatically
stop before reaching it.
If train is wrecked and the engine
and all the cars but one derailed, the
one remaining on the track viii be
protected from approaching trains in
either direction and collision will be
impossible.
The application for a patent has
been filed in Washington and If it is
allowed, and the patent is adopted by
railroad companies, and there is no
question but what it will be, collisions
on railways will be comparatively rare
in the future, If they occur at all.
The young inventors are enthusiast
tic and believe that their invention
will do what they claim for it and what
is more it can be easily attached to
locomotives at little cost.
To say nothing of this invention
from money point of view, and it no
doubt will make the young inventors
enormously rich, 1t will immortalize
them as benefactors to the human
race

Xmas Sweet Potato.

One of Nr. d. A. Miller's ardent ad-
mirers from the Belleview district,
made him present Of peck of the
famous Xmas sweet potato. The seed
came from Porta Rico. The potato,
when properly cooked, is the finest
thing of its kind ever eaten by mortal
man. They sold at thirty cents po-
tate, weighing say one and half to
two pounds piece. Specimens of
this wonderful new variety of sweet
potato can be seen at Mr.. d. A. Mil
le.'s office. Every farmer In Marion
county should have specimen.

Speaking Of the state of the country
and the condition of the people, said
the farmers never raised such fine
crops as last season and their larders
were never 30 bountifully supplied.
He says they seem to know nothing
of panics and the financial distress
that Is on the country and the hum
dreds of thousands Of people out Of
work and food. Conten tment and plen-

THE PLACE FOR GREAT BARGAINS
Household and Furnishing Establish
ment of G. W. MOffat & 90.

The above firm desire the.public to
understand the fact that they are
making specially of buying the fur
nishing of hotels, restaurants, private
houses and giving for same more
money than can be secured in any
other way or from any other persons.
Necessity knows no master, hence
the selling prices or household goods
at their establishment often makes a
saving to the purchaser of 200 per
cent.
SententiOusly speaking, for goods in
their line, "it is the place to SELF and
buy"
Moffat Il Co. have just purchased
the entire outfit of the Mon. ezuma
Cafe, and amo lg the extra bargains in
that line are the linens, dishes, ice
chest, sink aud the various cooking
utensils, including a splendid gasoline
stove, which you can secure for fifty
cents on the dollar Of its original cost.
For bargains go to c. w. Moffat &
Co, Ocala, Fla, IiOrth side of public
square, next to Vatoldi Restaurant.

celery, parsley and as fine catsup,
wine and claret of his own make as
can be found in any market. Mr..

Not Guilty.

Last Friday night Richards q Prin-

paying license. Manager Sylvester
went on their bond. The case was
called this morning, and the mayor
ruled the minstrels were not liable, as
Mr.. Sylvester, under the city ordi-
nance, pays a yearly license. which
permits all theatrical companies act
ing under his management, to enjoy
the benefit of his license.
Thecase was appealed for the dis
trict courts in expectation of the city
ordinance.
