EVANS BRAVE ACT.
Jumped Into River and Rescued His
Friend.
Shock of the Chilly Water Resulted In the
Latlers Death, However.

About midnight Saturday night Patrick
j. Dalton, a young man about 25 years OF
age, who resides with his parents In
tenement house on Second street, East
Providence, met with an accident that
resulted in his death. Ii appears that at
the hour mentioned, young Dalton, In
company with a friend, named John
Evans, was returning from Providence by
way of the railroad bridge at India Point.
They had reached the draw which has no
protection for foot passengers, when in
some manner, probably on account OF
the slippery condition of the planking,
Dalton fell from the bridge into the river
below. Evans at once removed portion
of his clothing and jumped into the river
to rescue his friend. He succeeded in
reaching him and held him to the surface
and his cries for help brought man
and skih To the rescue. The men were
taken from the water aud carried to a
switch house near by, where every geffort
was made to revive Dalton, who was in an
unconscious condition. 1t could not be
done. and DR.. George F.Allison WIS sum.
moncd, who did ell ia his power TO revive
the man. Ills efforts we're without avail
and he directed that the man be removed
to his home and put TO bed, which was
Immediately done. The doctor did all in
his power by internal and external appli-
cations and friction by rubbing and al
though tho man bresthed some, and at
one time moved his arms, he did not re-
cover and at O'Clock Sunday morning he
died. Dr. Allison is Of the opinion that
death was caused by tho chill OF the cold
water as much as anything, producing
congestion OF the Lungs.
John Evans, the heroic friend who saved
Dalton from immediate death was ad-
vised TO go home and change his clothes,
but he would not desert his friend, and
remained and did everything I'm bis power
to neIp restore MIN TO consciousness. IL
Ire capts pncumonia he will do well. II
Is quite remarkable that both men were
not drowned In the icy condition Of the
river Saturday night.
The place whers Dalton fell into the
Scekopk river. is very dangerous spot,
and isn't intended for travel by other
than the railroad employees, and signs
alwsys were posted on the bridge warning
persons q the danger attending the use
of the bridge by the public.

THE GERMAN.
Beautiful New Figures and Fancy Cos
tunes.

JuIneS,
The german given by Professor
Northcutt Monday evening at the ar
mory was pronounced success. A
beautiful moonlight night and de-
lightful weather cOnspired much to-
wards its success. The hall was elabo-
rately decorated and music was fur
nished by Messrs. Northcutt and Mil
ler.
Ocala's beauty and chivalry were
present. Among the visiting young
ladies were Miss Daisy Deckle, of
Thomasvlle; Miss Cecil Cornell, of
Macon; Miss Myrtle Cason, of Mariet-
Ia, and Miss Kate Underwood, of Fay
etteville, n. G.
Preceding the german there We're
eight dances on the programme and
between which were exhibitions of
fancy dances performed by Misses Su-
sic Marean and Sallie Bell. They
wore very attractive costumes.
AT ii o'clock the lights were extin-
guished, and the grand march was
formed, each dancer holding a Chi
nese lantern, which beautifully illum-
mated the hall and made most pleas
ing feature. The german was then
formed and led by Professor Northcutt
and Miss Mae Leonard, assisted by
Mr.. j. w. Lancaster and Miss Pearl
Mann. Some very pretty new figures
Were introduced in the german.

Rrirht Cutura for Florida.

In answer to the query of our cor
respondent from Pierceton, Ind, we
have to say that there are no olive trees
in the vicinity of Ocala;- that the
orange trees have been uninjured since
the great freeze two years ago and by
reference to an article published else
where it will be seen that we are again
beginning to ship this luscious fruit,
which the great freeze already referred
to, was the chief product of our coun-
ty. Since the destruction of our
groves, besides rehabilitating them,
our people are turning their attention
to the planting of sea-island cotton,
tobacco, sugar cane, rice and other
products and Florida will again be
one of the most prosperous states in
the union, or, at least, the easiest one
in which to make living fiom the soil.
Her groves will again be source OF
income and delight.

ton to have their productions pub
lished. Taking as do a great pride
in the excellent literary talent Of our

literary workers to send TO my address
at as early date as possible, copies of
their works, wether published or in
manuscript form, accompanied by the
real name and address of the author,
so that they may be forwarded to the
committee at Nashville having the
matter in charge, which guarantees
the safe return of the articles ut the
close of the exposition.

this community and Marion will
appreciate the rare opportunity kindly
offered them by this invitation of the
literary committee of the Centennial
exposition. and by responding TO it

play of the excellent literary talent so
