Stop on the Crossings.

There can be no longer any doubt
that the Consolidated Traction Com
pany's new rule about stopping on
the near side of the street crossing is
a mistake and a failure. As it worked
last night and this morning, it simply
compelled women to plunge off the
r into snow banks, sometimes up
to their waists. Men could wait until
the car reached a cross walk and
Jump off while the car was in motion;
but women had to get off just where
the car stopped, and it stands to rea-
son that when the head of the car was
just flush with the cross street the
rear platform was fenced in by the
high bank of filthy, muddy snow
piled up along the border Of the
tracks by the sweepers and not
trampled down by the current of foot
passengers.
When the thaw comes, it will be
necessary for women to step into slush
over the tops of their shoes. 1t is at
all times necessary for them to get
into the mud and dirt and upon the
rough paving stones. Down in Green
vile, where the streets are unpaved,
they have to 20 into soft earthly mush
three or four inches deep. There has
been the most serious complaint on
all hands about this.
This is not a trifiing matter. Health
is in many cases involved, and con :
venience and comfort and cleanliness
in all. 1t must be remedied. The
present absurd rule must be modified.

The White Ply.

Mr.. t. T. Munroe, one of the Buff
fun Loan and Trust Co.'s able assis-
tants, was up to Evinston Monday and
says the orange growers are very much
troubled and aroused over depredations
of the white fly.
Stacked lime spray has been vigor-
ously tested and the growers claim it
does not effect the destruction of the
pest.
DIR. Montgomery, of Micanopy, has
been experimenting to secure prepe-
ration that will be the waterloo to the
ravages of the fly, and he feels conf
dent he has made the right discovery.
The antidote is pine gum and tur-
pentine, which creates a varnish, an d
which sprayed over the foliage and
fruit makes coating that smothers
the eggs deposited, while the fly on its
sticky substance imprisons it and
leaves it to die of starvation.
So disastrous has been the white fly
in some groves thlt it is said Judge
Means, The successful and veteran
fruit grower of Evinston, harvested
5000 boxes of oranges last season, but
on account of the destruction caused
by the fly this season he only shipped
fifty-seven boxes.

Court Notes.

The latter part of last week was de-
voted to trying Jenkins, Lambright
and Albert Stevens, colored, for the
murder of Geo. Gowan, the old Eng
lishman, last July at Spring Park.
The trial created considerable interest.
Hon. HI. E. Miller, Col. Ed. Spencer,
w. X. Zewadski and George Badger
appeared for the defence, while J. III.
Curry and E. G. Davis assisted Judge
Wigg for the state
After the arguments and charge by
Judge Hooker, the jury retired, and
debated among themselves, but it ap-
pears eight. were for conviction and
four against. The latter strongly in
fiuenced by the able argument and
impression created in their minds by
Mr.. Miiler's speech on the confessions
made by prisoners to Dave Ingalls, and
Barny Rhodes. The jury sought in
structions from the presiding judge.
They finally came to a conclusion,
which was guilty of murder, but re-
commended the prisoners to the mercy
of the court.
This verdict was not reached until
Sunday morning.
Monday the following sentences
were pronounced: Dan Bryant, for
killing Nose Williams at Dunnnellon,
to hang.
Jon Smith, for killing Henry War
rem at Dunnellon, five years in the
penitentiary.
Hiram Shoman, for raping Caroline
Adams at Citra, to life Imprisonment.

A KITCHEN FIRE.
How D. S. Williams Young Daughters
Saved the House.

Saved the House.
Saturday evening the rural residents
of the West End, consulting of the
Munroe and Williams families, came
to Ocala and attended reception ten
dered Mrs. Smith, of Cincinnatti, at
the residence of Mr.. Geo. K. Robin
son.
The children of MIR. Williams, con-
sistingof three girls and boy, retired,
and abou: midnight the glare of the
flames from the kitchen, which was
fire, awakened them.
julia, the oldest of the girls, began
at once to devise means TO stay the
flames and save the main portion of
the residence; Nan, the next oldest
girl, struck out to awaken her grand
mother, Mrs. Allen Munroe, and Mr..
Livingston, while the boy, David, jr.,
assisted his oldest sister, and Polly,
the youngest girl, was SO frightened
at the fire that seizing an old coat,
struck out for the hammock, where
she was found after all the excitement
and danger was over.
First the water in the cistern was
exhausted, but the kitchen kept burn
ing, and the runway connecting the
culinary building with the residence
portion was half consumed, when
Miss Julia, with axe in hand cut it
down, while little Dave mounted the
sturdy live-oak, that stood as fire
brake between the kitchen and house,
and chapped off limbs, which fell into
the flames and assisted in smotheling
them.
BY the time the children were get
ting the flames under control Ransom,
a colored neighbor, and Mr.. Living
ston, arrived on the scene, and short
ly after the people who had come to
Ocala returned home in fearful state
of alarm, as they saw the flames and
knew it must be one of the three
houses in that neighborhood. but
which one they could not determine,
and while Fastening to the scenes of
destruction all kinds of forboding en-
tered their minds about the fate of the
children.
Great was their relief, and greater
their joy when they aceertained, al
though the kitchen was rum, the
children were safe.
The most remarkable part of the
story is the bravery, self-possession
and presence of mind displayed by
the children, making them genuine
young heroines by their bravery and
fortitude under trials and perils that
would daunt and unnerve older and
stronger persons.

LOCAL ORANGE AND VEGETABLE
GROWERS ORGANIZED.
Cotton Plant. Blitchton, FantvilIe, Eel

Cotton Plant. Blitehton, Fantville, Fel-
lowsbip and Leroy Aroused.
A number of the Fruit and Vegeta-
BILE growers of the above places met in
Alliance Hall at Fellowship on the
Both of March and organized under the
name of Cotton Plant and Blitchton
Orange and Vegetable Growers Union.
Meeting was called to order by II. w.
Long. Mr.. J. A. McDavid was called
to preside, and J. M. Smith to act as
secretary pro tenn. Mr.. Fred. Buffum
was called upon, and very plainly
showed that great reductions in trans
portation and prices of box material,
and also better prices in market and
less commission could be obtained by
a union. General Robert Bullock
made a rousing and encouraging
speech. He plainly showed that if a
union of the fruit and vegetable grow
ers was not effected the industry
would sink under extortion and fraud.
A local union was then formed with
nineteen names enrolled. j. A.
McDayid was elected president; Rufus
Cross, vice-president; j. M. Smith,
secretary; I. j. Sistrunk, treasurer.
We then adjourned to Blitchton
schoolhouse, and arrived there just as
the examination of school closed, and
were greeted by the smiling face of
DIR. S. HI. Bitch, J. M. Robinson and
others, and invited to partake of one
of the fine spreads that Blitchton is
noted for. After the inner man was
filled an invitation was extended to
witness fine display of oratory and
composition reading by the scholars
of Blitchton school, which had just
closed very successful term under
the tuition of the very able teacher,
Mr.. Ct. j. Stroller.
Messrs. Buffum, Bullock and Long
soon convinced the fruit and vegetable
growers of that district that it was to
their interest financially to unite with
the Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Union, and eleven names were added
to the roll.

When the joke was first talked of
last week those who humored the mat
ter never dreampt it would develops
into the biggest fake of the year.
But it budded, blossomed and bore
fruit.
The New Capitol, in Sundays issue
in glaring headlines, told of free ex-
cursion to Silver Spring under the au-
spices of the S. S., o. & r. r. to in
spect new boat of line Mr.. Plant
had established on the Ocklawaha
river, to run in connection with his
S. S., o. & G. acquisition.
1t was not only free ride to the
Springs, but on board of the new
steamer Was to be dispensed rich
viands and more sparkling vintage.
The idea was capital one, and
struck popular and responsive cord
in the hearts of many, and in conse-
quence big crowd gathered at the
f. G. & p. depot to take the morning
train for the wonderful Springs.
All beliefs and shades of religious
opinions were represented in the
throng, among the crowd many well
known church members, who on be-
ing quizzed said they were bound for
the Park, Anthony and other inter-
esting religious outposts.
But while waiting for transporta-
ton the impression got into the air
and breathed by the proposed excur-
sionists that made many restless and
ill at ease, and so worked upon their
domes of thought that coming to a
doubling state of mind, one began to
sneak out on this side, then several on
the other, until the gathering had
vanished like the unsubstantial fabric
of dream.
And so it was-the most complete
April fool excursion that ever capered
across the level headed brain of Super
intendent o. G. Finch. or toyed with
the erratic gray matter composing the
irrepressible brain of Will Hopkins
The former gentleman is too modest
to admit that he had ever dreamed of
scheme that created the Ocala sell
of the season, though in the eyes of
many innocent and badly sold people,
he is guilty. While the latter, who
could not tell lie. is not unmindful of
the honor conferred.
So firm was the belief that such an
excursion would go to Silver Springs
to inspect Mr.. Plants new river boat
that the pastor of the Methodist
church was compelled, out of sense
of duty, to take notice of the fact, and
in a fgurative sense drew his recall
citrant members over the red hot Goals
of his displeasure, and admonished
them of their lack of churchly duties.
The April fool joke was the theme
of conversation Monday, but many
who had been sold were as mum as
oysters about their participating in it.

Miss Lucy SpoOner Adjudged Insane


Miss Lucy Spooner, of Eastlake,
Lake Weir, was brought before Judpe
Hill last Saturday, and ON evidence of
DR.. t. J. Myers was adjudged insane
and sent, in charge of Mrs. johnson,
an attachee of the Chattahoocheee
asylum, to that institute.
Miss Spooner has lived on the lake
for the past ten years, and while
deemed by many eccentric and odd in
her ways, was never thought to be a
fit subject for the asylum, in which
opinion many who knew her well and
saw her and talked to her Saturday
still maintain.
1t seems Miss Lucy would persist in
retiring without undressing, and
maintain the earth was coming to an
end, and other queer notions.
She was perfectly harmless. She
was induced to come to Ocala by as
suring her she was to live here. The
unfortunate woman has the sympathy
of her many friends who are conf
dent she will not remain long at the
asylum.
