All Bids Rejected.

st. Paul, July 10-The state capitol
commission has decided to reject all
the fourteen bids recently received for
the construction of the capitol super
structure. This action was taken,
first, because it as impossible to har-
n:onize the bids as presented and de-
termine the lowest bidder on a uni
form basis, and, next, because i'm
portant changes have been made in the
specifications, rendering the received
bids inapplicable. The commission
will meet again Tuesday to advertise
for bids on a revised and uniform
basis

Thomas A. Britt, who came to this
city in 1873, has been sent to the PEN
itentiary for a year from Chicago
ter boxes in that city. He claimed
to have owned the Florida Union in
in this city in 1876, which was not so.
What connection he had here with
newspapers consisted of odd jobs at
reporting and as special correspond
ent for special occasions. Through
the exertions of the late DR.. w. III.
Babcock and other citizens of jack
sonville, he was appointed special
correspondent of a Savannah paper,
which he held for a few months. He
abused his trust however, and proved
base migrate, and shifted from dem
ocracy to republicanism with the
greatest ease imaginable. Britt be-
came so obnoxious as a correspondent
and so vascillating that he was made
the subject of one of the most laugh
able spectacles in a fantastic parade
here one Fourth of July ever seen.
This and the removal of his mother
and stepfather, George Blum, from
the city caused Britt to disappear

George [ Russell, OF Orlando, has
received notice of his election as pres
ident of the Hendon Park Pineapple
Company. The headquarters of the
company is in Philadelphia, and the
members are mostly residents of the
Quaker City. Lands have been secured
at Narcoossee, on East Lake, and the
company proposes to jut out twenty
acres of smooth cayenne plants as
soon as lands can be prepared and
plants obtained. Mr.. Russell is au-
thorized by the company to make the
proper selection of lands from the
large body owned by the company,
and begin the work of preparing it at

During the past few days this por-
ton of the state has been quite thor

sugar planter and manufacturer, who
has been connected with the industry
on the island of Cuba for many years.
What he finds in Florida is revela-
ton to him. Here are hundreds of
thousands of acres of sugar land
which he pronounces as good as exists
in the world. He predicts that the
near future will see this vast acreage
of reclaimed muck land covered with
sugar farms, and Florida producing
the bulk of the sugar output Of the
