West Palm Beach correspondence Jack
sonville Citizen: Through the courtesy of
George Z4pf. the proprietor of the Sem
mole hotel, the Citizen correspondent was
enabled to visit the canal that is being
built by the East Coast Canal Company
from Lake Worth to Biscayne Bay, d dis
lance of forty-five miles. The canal was
begun at the southern end of Lake Worth.
One dredge began at the upper end, work
ing southwark and another commenced
on BisCayne Bay, working northward.
| The dredge on the Biscayne end has cut
fifteen miles, and the one on this end
about four and a half miles Work was
D6Sun Oh llllS canal nearly d year ago,
with the object of connecting West Palm
| Beach with the outside world by water.
When the canal was commenced it was
thought that by January, 1895. it would
be completed, but many difficulties had to
be contended with, and it will take at
least ten months longer before the canal
will be open for traffic. The canal is to
be five feet deep, sixty feet wide and forty
five miles long. To get a depth of five feet
of water fourteen feet of mud has to be
removed, as the lake is nine feet lower
than the land through which the canal is
being cut and as the land on this end of
the work is soft it requires a great deal
of labor.
jacksonville Times Union: Last week
a telephone message was received at the
crematory saying that dead dog was ly-
ing on State street, near Main and asking
that it be removed A car was sent after
the dead animal. but on arriving at the
place no dead dog could be found. The
only dog in sight was a large black New
foundland, lying by heap of loose earth.
A person living close by insisted that he
had seen the dead dog close to where the
Newfoundland was lying. The driver
began to look around and kicked into the
mound of loose earth. As the earth was
knocked aside, there in plain view was
dogs foot projecting. The driver took
his shovel and soon had the dog uncoV-
dog, was the body of dead chicken. The
dog and chicken were thrown into the
cart and carried to the crematory. A few
DAYS ago another dog died about d half
block from the place where the first dog
was found. The body was thrown into
the street and a message sent to the Gre
matory for it to be removed. When the
driver and cart arrived, the body
missing. The driver was shown where
the body was lying when the message was
sent. He saw a track in the sand where
something had been dragged and follow
ing it, found that it led to the place
where the first dog had been buried.
There. as before, was lying the New
foundland by the side of a mound of
loose earth. The driver didn't look around
for the dead dog this time. He pitched
right into digging. His surmise was cor
rect, for there was the body of the dead
dog AS no one had seen any person re-
move the body of either dog. it is now be-
lieved that the bodies were buried by the
Newfoundland.
