Reef and Henry Goshen were badly injured

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Right of Municipalities to Regulate
Telegraph Companies.

CHICAGO April 17.--william Booth
master of the federal court to whom was
referred case brought by the city in
volving the use of the streets by tele-
graph company has decided in favor of the
latter The results of the decision, il sus-
tanned by the higher courts, are far reach
ing The master, in giving his conclusions,
argues substantially as follows:
''The law may be said to be we'll estab-
lished that since Congress has acted on the
subject of telegraph companies, by an act
of July q, 1866, and nterstate-telegraph
company which has duly complied with the
requirements of said act has the absolute
right to construct, maintain. and operate
lines of telegraph over and along any of the
military or post roads OF the United States,
and that no State or subdivision of State
has any right to obstruct or hinder it in
constructing, maintaining and operating it's
lines. While the city might, perhaps, under
it's police power, and for the purpose Of
protecting it's streets, require the complain
ant to give bond, required in the
amended ordinance of Dec. 8, 1885, yet the
giving of such bond could not be made a
condition precedent to the right to do bus
mess Corporate authorities may subject
such company to reasonable police reg
ulations They may require lines to be
placed under ground when the public good
requires it, or regulate tt eight of poles,
ETC., but they cannot, vi he guise or
pretense of police regula impose
reasonable conditions or ex. a prohibtive
tax. An interstate-telegraph company has
the right to have such matters investigated
by the courts as to their reasonableness or
otherwise''

the case to proceed. The cause or the
trouble was a suit for libel brought by ex-
Mayor William B. Smith, of this city,
against the Times. The alleged libel con-
sisted in two articles published in the
Times on Oct. 2 and Oct. g. 1892, in which
1t was charged that Mr.. Smith owed large

the Indians who were not captured or
killed had disappeared
1t is thought that these villages were
founded long years before the last Indian
war, as the old fighters, some of whom
are now living, tell of the feasts they
made In the villages on oranges, pump
kins and corn. One of these Indian
fighters is Capt. w. B. Watson, of this
city. Three years ago he gave to the
Times Union an entertaining descrip-
ton of the fight in the Big Cypress and
mentioned the character of the islands.
How the groves got there and, in fact,
how oranges got into Florida, is easily
explained. Explorers who sailed from
Spain in the earlier days always loaded
their ships with sour oranges as an anti
dote against scurvy. Those oranges
which were not eaten on the voyage
were given to the Indians, who Toasted
on them around their camp-fires in the
hammocks of the state. The seeds fell
to the ground and grew into trees.

the vegetable grower needs is unity TO

ers to come to Florida to purchase their
products. 1t will not only hep the
grower, but would be of great benefit to
the honest commission merchant as we'll,
who would not be thrown in competition
with lot of cut throats and swindlers.
Another thing needed by the growers
are canning factories in all large vege-
table growing sections, to can up the
vast amount of vegetables that 60 to
waste in the fields after prices get too
low to ship. Hundreds and thousands
of dollars could be saved the producer
and fortune could be accumulated
right here in Sumter county by the
promoter of such an enterprise. Let the
farmers of Florida organize, establish
canning factories, sell their product at

1t should be remembered that in unity
there's strength, and it is only by united
action that good can be accomplished.

Oranges in the Everglades.


two magnificent orange groves a few
weeks ago in the big cypress swamp OF
far South Florida, was in the city yes
terday, says the Times Union. The
beauty of Mr. Hinson's find is that no
man has valid claim to the property,
the groves being in the middle of one OF
the most impregnable swamps in the
whole state, into which no one in recent
yea s has ventured to see if there was
ANYTHING fit to buy or homestead.
Up to ten years ago the Big Cypress
was put down on the map as 'impracti
cable" and "unsurveyed." Then it was
surveyed and islands Of fine hammock
land were found here and there, but
they were not of sufficient size to tempt
anybody. The section lines, which ran
a mile apart, seemed to have missed
the groves which Mr. Hinson got wind
of from an ola Indian fighter, who
chased the SeminOles into the Big Cyp
ress and out again during the last Indian
war. On one of these islands during
the war a village was found ant
burned and it was there that Captain
Parkhill, as gallrnt an Indian fighter as
ever drew the breath of life, was killed
Mr.. Hnson, with the old hunter as a
guide, penetrated into the swamp three
weeks ago and sure enough there was an
fin "
wooded and containing fully 600 sour
trees all in full leaf and fruit. The is
land did not contain a solid grove, but
a series of groves, some of them being
as large as three acres. "The fruit,
said Mr.. Hinson to Times Union man
Yesterday, sis sour, of course, but it is
large and golden. The trees average %
feet in height. Some of them are larger
and not one has been t,-11caed by frost. y
trees, which will bear on the buds scant
lily in two years and fully in four
On this island Mr. Hinson also foun
acres of sugar cane, evidently planted
by the Seminoles years ago. 1t is of
mammoth size and the quality is excel
lent. Banana trees were also found in
abundance and heavy with fruit which,
however, is not yet ripe.
A week later Mr.. Hinson penetrated
further on into the swamp and found
another island, richer in orange trees
than the first. He returned to Fl. NY
ers and at once sent builders to the
islands, and these men are now at work.
Both of the islands seem to be wonder
fully fertile, trees of all kinds being
giants in size, and other vegetable
growth of the most luXuriant character.
One India rubber tree was found tC
measure % feet around, while live oak
tree measured 33. Wild figs were also
growing luxuriantly.
Mr.. Hinson's theory is that these isl
ands, naturally fertile, were, centuries
ago, the roOkeries of millions of water
fowl md thus became fnrtilized to the
highest of perfection.
When the Seminoles ran away from
the Creeks, they selected the richest OF
lands on which to build their villages
and to lazilY cultivate few acres of corn
and pumpkins. During the last war
they were driven from place to place
