THE PEDESTRIAN AND HIS DOG SHOW UP
 IN JACKSONVILLE.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 10.-Fred Miller, the long distance pedestrian who is now walking from New York to this city and return on a wager of S5000, arrived at the Union station this morning at 10:I5 o'clock, thus completing just half of his task. He Is accompanied by his dog, Guess, large, powerful pointer.
 Miller started from New York on his journey at o'clock on the morn ing of the 9th of February, and has been just sixty seven days accomplishing half of his walk. The condition of the wager was that Miller was to walk from New York to Jacksonville and return in seven months from the time of starting. He was to start with nothing and was to receive nothing but food and clothing while en route.
 So far Miller has travelled 1900 miles. His route was from New York to Phila- delphia, Philadelphia to Baltimore, Balti- more to Washington, Washington to At lanta, and from Atlanta via Jesup to this city. Miller has lost several pounds in weight since he started on his long jaunt.
 The dog is in fine condition, being slick and fat.
 Miller expects to remain in this city two days and then start on his return trip.
