JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 31--The
mercury went down TO ID degrees de-
grees above zero at the signal station in
this city just before sunrise this morn
ing, this record being one degree colder
than the temperature during the great
freeze of 1886 and the lowest since 1855
The thermometer at the station - 100
feet above the ground and the surface
readings about town average from ~ to
13 degrees lower.
Reports from Titusvilie, Tampa, Ocala.
GAINESVILLE. Paiatka and Sanford Indicate
that the mercury dropped 10 about eigh-
teen above zero in those localities. The
orange and vegetable crops are practi-
cally ruined. The best estimate places
the mum Der of oranges at present on the
trees al fully 100000 boxes, and the Of
hcials Of the Florida fruit exchange ia
this city think fully 2,O0O,000 boxes have
been frozen, either wholly or ia part.
If this estimate is correct the remain
ing 100000 boxes will bring fabulous
prices. These reports cannot be verified
until tonight or tomorrow, but the best

The Law In Relation TO the state Printer

The Law In Relation to the state Printer
ship.
The candidates for state printer are
much worked up over the following para
graph, which appeared in a recent issue
of .. L. Brady's Lawrence World.
ssThe World 'has no sympathy with
State Printer Snow, but it is decidedly
afraid he has the bulge on the argument
and will hold the Office. It will be re-
mem bered that the law was changed
when the old greenback craze was ram
pant, and the presumption is that the
change was made 50 Republicans could
hold onto the state partnership in case the
lower house went against them. If this
is true it is q case Of the chickens com
ing home to roost.v
This saying Of Brady's. whether wise
or foolish, is stirring up some of the pol
iticians particularly the PopuIists, who
have looked up the records and have
discovered that in 1879 there was a sup
posed danger Of the house falling into
the hands Of the Green hackers.
Until 1859 the state printing was let
by contract to the lowest bidder. That
year the people voted an amendment TO
the constitution creating the office Of
state printer. to be elected by joint con-
ventiOn Of the legislature. The succeed
ing legislatures enacted no statute regtt-
lating such election. But the legislature
Of 1861 had enacted one governing joint
conventions, which provided that all
elections Of officers by joint convention
should be by the affirmative vote Of
ma GRITTY OF the members Of both houses.
In 1878, in the controversy between
Stotler and Martin, the supreme court, in
decision written by Judge Brewer now
an associate justice of the United States
supreme court, construed the statute Of
1861 as applicab bic to election Of state
printer. Ihus the state had a law bear
ing directly on elections to this office
and it was the law through succeeding
biennial elections Of state printer until
the legislature Of 1877 adopted the stat
ute which is now a question
When the supreme court is called up
on to settle this question, State Printer
Snow will argue that this law was
changed purIoseIy and fhereforeaa. state
printer cannot now be elected legally
and therefore he is entitled to mold the
office.

THE HAWAIIAN FLAG.
1t Was Invented by Captain Alex
ander Adams

The Hawaiian flag has attracted
considerable attention lately. ow-
ing TO there having been some talk
OF changing it. There has been u
slight controversy as to its origin.
and the following account of it. as
told by Mr.. John Cooke. who mas
been in the islands for fifty years,
will be interesting:
Captain Alexander Adams. the
father Of Isaac Adams. who now
lives at Niu," said Mr.. Cooke last
evening, came here in the TWEEN
ties, and was married 10 a high
chlettess, whose name | cannot at
present recall. Through this mar
risge he became well-known to
many OF the chiefs, and was the
first authorized pilot for this port.
I'm those days the Hawaiians
had no vessels ailoat and no flag.
A few years after Adams arrival
they got a few ships, and
put them In the China trade, load
ing them with sandal-wood. Adams
suggested that flag was a neces-
sity, and the chiefs left it to him to
devise one, which he did.
Being an Englishman, he ma
turally took the English ensign for
his starting point, and added
stripe for each large island of the
group. He made the first flag out
of corr mon cotton cloth. When he
showed his design to the chiefs
they were delighted, and at once
accepted it as the national ensign"
This version of the flags origin
may be accepted "a authentic, as
Mr.. Cook says he has many times
talked with Captain Adams about
1t, and has been told of it time and
again. Adams died nearly thirty
years ago, but his flag still flies.

An Early Morning Runaway.

Some little excitement was
caused on Merchant street early
yesterday morning by a runaway
hack. The horse had been left IN
tied for few minutes, and, during
the absence Of the driver, improved
bis time by galloping along Mer-
chant street To a point near the
ADVERTISER office. where a dump
cart, standing in the middle of the
street, caused the frightened ami
NAL to turn and start back over the
same course. Before he reached
Fort street, however, the only Fer
reira made his appearance on the
scene, and OF course the horse was
captured. No damage was done.
