FLORIDA.

Mrs. ]. A. Davis fell down flight of
stairs Tuesday morning, at her residence
on the North Boulevard, at DeLand. The
extent of her injuries is not yet known.
She is still unconscious, and her condition
is critical.
The South Florida Foundry and Machine
Company of Orlando received the machin-
cry last week, to be used in their new de-
partment of the manufacture of brass and
iron bedsteads. The machinery is being
placed in position, and this week they will
receive two carloads of material and be-
gin operations.
Jacksonville Times Union: A new charge
of violating the navigation laws has been
made against the tug Dauntless, owned by
w. A. Bisbee of this city and now in Gus
tody of the collector Of customs at Fer
nandina, and an additional fine of $500 has
been imposed by the collector of customs,
making the total amount of fines $500.
The latest fine is said to be on account OF
the captain not keeping log of the move
ments of the little vessel which is now
classed as an ocean-going passenger
steamer since she has surrendered her en-
rollment as a coastwise tug, and has been
duly registered a steamer permitted TO
carry freight and passengers, and TO go
into foreign waters. On the last trip OF
the steamer it is alleged that no log was
kept, as is required by marine regulations,
and that therefore the vessel is liable to
a fine. The vessel now has four fines
pending against her, one for lying off the
coast without lights, for $500; one for going
into foreign waters without clearing, for
$500; one for her crow not being proficient
in the regulation fire drill, for $500, and the
last one for not keeping a correct log Of
the movements of the vessel, for $500, max
ing 81, 800 In all. w. A. Bisbee will pay the
$500 fine under protest, and will perhaps
pay the $500 fine, but will not pay the two
fines Of $500 each until the courts decide
that he is legally liable for the same.

Tuesdays quotations, with the tone weak.
