FIRE IN MARTI.

Last night about ? o'clock, by
the illumination IN the western
sky, it was decided that fire was
under way in Marti City.
So the hook and ladder truck
and one hose reel started for the
scene. The fire was in a four
room house owned by H. B. Mas
ters and was almost entirely con-
sumed by the time the boys got
there. They put out the burning
fencing and grass. which was all
that could be done. Without some
means being taken to prevent it,
much valuable property will un-
doubtedly be destroyed by fire in
the deserted town.

LEAP YEAR BALL.
Is Given Up to Re the SoCia
Event OF he. Season.

Last night. promptly at 10
O'Clock, the grand march began
and moved eff joyfully to the ex-
quisire music furnished by Profes-
sors Foskett, Abrams and Volinl.
About seventy, five couples par
ticipated, which composed the elite
of Ocala and vicinity.
Many lovely evening gowns
were noticed among the fair la
dies, and the gentlemen were in
full evening dress.
Possibly $50 persons were pres
ent many Of whom were only
spectators.
The spacious dining room of
The Ocala was beautifully decorat-
ed IN bunting and evergrecns, and
Philip Brown, the genial manager
of the house, made himself very
popular by his untlring efforts to
make the evening pass off pleas
antly.
AT o'clock the german began,
led by Albert Birdsey and Miss
May Martin, about fifty couples
participating. Several new fea-
lures were introduced, among
which was the lantern figure,
which was very pretty.
Among the laughable incidents
was one of Ocaia's most popular
swains losing his slipper onithe
floor.
The floor committee was Misses
Annie Martin, May Martin, Daisy
Tha, er, and Matte Alfred. The
ladies deserve great deal of credit
for the nice manner in which ev-
erything was arranged and con
Quoted throughout the entire eve
ming. Refreshments were served
at II o'clock, which we're elaborate
as we'll as substantial.
The evenings entertainment
broke up only when the wee sma'
hours were giving place to Old
Soils rays, or, in more prosaic Ian
guage, at 5 am.

We're slated for removal. School Con-
troller c. j. Conrad, of the Eleventh
ward. protege OF Controller Robinson,
was to be nominated for the janitor-
ship and Hon. p. Quinnan's brother,
James Quinnan, was to go in as patrol
man.
All this was decided upon at a con-
ference Of the Democratic members
called by Mayor Bailey, the night be-
fore. The mayor gave 1t out that he
had made a deal with certain Republi-
cans whereby these nominations would
be confirmed and the Democrats were
happy in the belief that the combine
had been broken and that they would
soon be picking out policemen from
among their brothers and cousins and
constituents.
But there was a hitch somewhere and
the plan didn't carry. Several more
or less plausible reasons are given why
the appointments did not materialize
last night and they all indicate that
the mayor has trouble on hand.
