Of the British steamer Feliciana, at the
Central press wharf. 1t was discovered
by the Waterman on board the steamer.
who aroused the crew. By that time the
cotton was in a blaze. The wind was
blowing a gale and the fire threatened
the steamer and the wharf.
The crew was ordered on the lighter and
the burning cotton. in all thirteen bales,
was thrown overheard into the river. The
wind and tide carried the blazing bales
down the stream. Seven bales were pick
ed up alongside of the schooner Doug
lass A. Gregory, Two more at the Market
dock, at the foot of Barnard street, and
two more further down.
The steamer Flora is lying a short dis
lance below the Feliciana. One Of the
burning bales hOated under her and set
lire to her hull, buring a hole in her side.
The fire was discovered by the Waterman
and was eXtinguished before II had gained
much Roadway. The owners OF the Flora
held the Feliciana responsible for the
damage to their steamer, and have made
claim for damages
The origin of the fire on the lighter is
unknown. When 1t was discovered the
cotton was in blaze and famed by the
stiff wind the flames spread rapidly.

ROBBED ny a TRAMP.
Mrs. John MaIIOch Loses S1OO by n
sneak Thief.

A bold robbery was committed at the
house of Mr.. John Malloch, No. 90 Hall
street yesterday morning Two tramps
came along while the house was being
cleaned up. The servant had left the
front door open and was beating a rug at
the gate. One of the tramps engaged the
attention of the servant while the other
slipped in the door behind her back.
The servant afterwards saw the man
come out of the house and go down the
street. She reported the matter and on
investigation it was found that the tramp
mad entered Mrs. Malloch's room and had
stolen 500 in s. bills, which was in a
bureau drawer Several jewelry cases
had been opened, but no jewelry was miss
ed. The thief evidently wanted TO get
money only.
The mater was reported at the police
barracks and Detective Hanley was put
10 work on the case. Chief Mcpermott
gave orders TO the police that any tramps
answering the description OF the TWO men
who robbed the house should be brouaht
TO the barracks.

On the Right Road.

Florida should now make great effort
to take step forward, and experiment
as to the best crop that can be raised to
bring money into the State. Before the
freeze last February, the orange growers
were troubled with the problem of over
production, but that has been solved
and now the problem of what to produce
to take the place of oranges, confronts
the farmers of the State. In some OF
the Southern States, tobacco culture is
assuming large proportions and taking
the place of cotton. The lands in Flor
ida planted in tobacco average about
500 per acre, while in other states
farmers are well satisfied to raise bale
Of cotton n two acres Of land, worth
about 1925. An acre in tobacco planted
in Florida, is worth many acres planted
in cotton in any state in the Union.
Another crop that can be made profit
able in Florida, is the growing of sugar
cane. In fact, there is not another
state in the South which has two field
crops that pay ssas much per acre as
Florida cane and tobacco, and there is
every indication now that the growing
of tobacco will be largely increased next
year. Rich as Florida is in the produc-
tion of these two crops, she has done
more in the production of vegetables,
especially in this immediate section.
In this line results have been accom-
plished which are simply dazzling, and

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The following proclamation has been
issued by President Cleveland.
"The constant goodness and forbear-
ance of Almighty God, which have been
vouchsafed to the American people dur
ing The year which is just passed, calls
for their sincere acknowledgement and
devout gratitude.
"To the end, therefore, that we may,
with thankful hearts unite in extolling
the loving care of our Heavenly Father,
|, Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States, do hereby appoint and
set apart Thursday, the 28th day of the
present month of November, as day of
thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept and
observed by all our people.
'On that day let us forego our usual
occupations, and in our accustomed
places of worship join in rendering
thanks to the Giver of every good and
perfect gift for the bounteous returns
that have rewarded our labors in the
field and in the busy marts of trade, for
the peace and order that have prevailed
throughout the land and for our protec-
ton from pestilence and dire calamity
and for other blessings that have been
showered upon us from an open hand.

though in some instances the results
were not favorable, the splendid
success which attended many, is sufli-
cient evidence in the way of vegetable
growing by those who pursue The proper
methods. There are fortunes in lutte,
ramie and palmetto, and so far as the
United States is concerned, Florida has
almost monopoly of each. 1t will be
several years yet before the State will
produce the immense orange crops of
the past, but it is by no means certain
that there will be less money to the
growers from oranges in the future than
in the future than in the past. Where
the growers have heretofore received 10
per cent profit out Of the price paid fer
oranges by the consum er, they will now
clear more than 100 per cent of it, and
expenses will be more than paid out of
the increase. Now that the orange
acreage has been reduced, by the hand
of providence, to a paying basis,it should
be kept there. Florida can produce too
many things to devote attention to one
to such an extent as will glut the
markets. She can produce more or
anges. sugar, tobacco and fibres than the
United States uses, and can grow more
vegetables than the whole country can
dispose of. She can do all this and still
have millions of acres of land to spare
for other products. We have been
taught the benefits of diversity, and the
people are just beginning to realize what
can be accomplished in the orange belt
of Florida. In fact, the farmers of this
section are or the eve of most prosper

Oocoanuts on the East Coast.


A West Pa.m Beach correspondent OF
the Citizen writes:
Although the fact that a vast Il m Der
of cocoaLut trees is to be seen along the
east bank of Lake Worth has been told
many times, yet few have been Informed
of the origin of these trees. Their
being planted in rows and forming
shaded walks from the lake to the At.
lantic ocean and almost in a straight line
from the Dimick place to Cragin's
distance of three miles, plainly shows
that they were planted by hand, and
with great care.
The story of their origin as related by
Captain w. M. Lainhart recently, is as
follows:
"Some time in the middle of January,
in 1878, l happened to be upon the
beach one afternoon aid saw a ship,
which afterward proved to be the Span
ish bark Providencia, carrying a crew
of thirteen men, none of whom could
speak word of English except the mate
and he only few words. The vessel
acted suspiciously, and l concluded to
watch her. [ waited until she was hid
in the darkness, when | went home, re-
solved to come again the next day, was
upon the beach at day break, and saw
that the vesssl had been run ashore.
With the assistance of H. F. Hammond,
| soon had her stripped of the rigging,
which we piled upon the beach.
"The vessel had about 10000 cocoa
nuts aboard, which soon began to wash
ashore. These we piled up along the
beach and divided them among the var
ious settlers, who set them out upon
their homesteads, and they have since
grown luxuriously.
"The cccoanuts which had their
husks on them, came from Baracoa, in
southeastern Cuba. The cargo was
| bound for Barcelona. From what l
could learn from the mate, who was the
only one could understand, the vessel
had been out only few days from Bara-
Goa. All Of the men were drunk. They
h ad plenty of provisions and liquor, and
remained on the beach here for three or
four DAYS. They were present while we
were stripping the vessel, and paid little
attention to the boat after they had left
her. In fact. it was my impression that
the captain ran her upon the shore fol-
the express purpose of getting the in.

potatoes in town yesterday. They were

The potatoes were about the size of

The English Pea.


The English pea is very profitable
crop to grow on good soil, but will hardly
pay on land that is so thin as to require
very heavy applications of fertilizer
The pea requires good deal of potash
to keep it from "fring", turning yellow
from the ground up, before 1t natures.
With favorable season English peas
will produce 300 bushels per acre, and
they sell all the way from 81 to s. a
bushel. The latter price is secured only
for the earliest shipments.
In the latitude of North Georgia the
farmer may commence preparing for
this crop about January l. Always
clean the land thoroughly of all grass
and weeds, then break it up broadcast.
Let it stand three days and then open
the burrows three feet apart. Use eight
or ten wagon loads of we'll rotted stable
manure. and 600 pounds Of commercial
fertilizer to the acre, putting it only in
the burrows. Cov.r this with two fur
fore planting. Use two bushel of seed to
the acre: growers of experience find that
LAndreth's Extra Early is the best.
They are the earliest, the heaviest
bearers, and the most reliable.
Use broad shovel pillow to open the
beds for planting, and make this furrow
Il ta hox
fiat surface for the peas. When the
seed is put in it ought to cover width
of six inches at least. When growing
they support each other better and are
not so easily laid down by high winds,
or burnt by hot suns, as when they are
in narrow drill. In covering them try
to have broad fiat bed also, using a
small pillow to cover with, and do not
disturb or move the seed in covering.
1t is best generally to make two plant
ings, the first during the third week In
December or just before Christmas, and
the second the first week in January.
They require but little cultivation, two
workings being sufficient. When about
three inches high, hoe them just TO pull
verize the soil and keep down weeds.
and give one good blowing before they
bloom, but never work them unless the
weather is warm and spring like. If
they are worked during a cold spell the
ground would be open and loose and let
the cold air in; it would reach the roots
and injure them or kill them entirely
They will stand heavy frost or a. light
freeze before they bloom, but not after.

after returning home. Mrs. Harris
was the first TO feel ill, bad symp.
toms being felt by her Will, sitting
on the veranda OF a n,igbbor's
house, She went home aud became
severely i'll. and shortly afterward
Mr.. Harris began to experience the
same symptoms as his wife. Then
young lady staying with them was
taken down.
Dr.. McLennan was called aud adj
ministered remedies that brought
the patients out OF danger. He was
OF opinion that both the meat and
the vinegar ia which it was preserv.
ed were at fault. The vinegar had
probably come from a tin containsr
aud absorbed deleterious metallic
properties. As for the pigs feet,
the doctor thought that the article
had been bought by he retailer from
a Chinese jobber, and thst chloride
OF lime had been used TO whiten the
meat according to Chinese but cher's
practice.
Mr.. Harris. who was the most
severely affected Of any Of the SUI

tend to his business this morning,
although not feeling altogether
recovered from the effects OF his
illness.
