Tampa Poetry.

Mary bought new straw hat
that made her heart beat glad;
it was trimmed with blowing ap-
pie trees, the finest to be had; its
brim was broad and shining; its
crown was full and high, and
when her rival saw it she sought
a place to die. Now Mary loved
the hat so much, she put it on
one day, and wore it to picnic
with gladstone heart. and gay.
Alas! alack! a wind blew up that
beat the German band, and
fioated Mary's headgear off and
filled it full of sand. Now Mary
sits and wrinSs her hands and
weeps big, bitter tears, the while
her rival cracks her heels and
laughs and snorts and jeers.-

married couples, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robt. Connor and Mr.. and Mrs.
Jas. Pooser. About fifty guests,
young and old; were present and
participated in a season of revel
ry. ALI manner of good edibles
and light drinks were there in
abundance which spoke more
feelingly than empty words oi
the substantial condition of the
captains larder.
At about 1920 o'clock the
Ocala string band, composed OF
Messrs. Cato, Mathews, Howse,
Dillaberry and Lummus, arrived
on the brilliant scene and rem.
dered several of their excellent

EPW0RTH LEAGUE SOCIAL
An Evening Probably and Pleas
anfIx Snenf at the ST. Denis.

An Evening Probably and Pleas.
antly Spent at the st. Denis.
The Epworth League Cad
social held at the St. Denis hotel
last evening succeeded far be-
yond the expectations OF the
most sanguine. Fully sixty
guests gathered in the cozy par
lors of the hotel and were highly
entertained until midnight. A
literary program had been care
fully arranged by Mrs. NJ. NJ.
Little, who was the promoter and
moving spirit in the affair. Sew
eral songs were nicely sung, and
one by Miss Anna Lummus, en-
titled Cloves Dreaming" was
exceptionally we'll rendered.
Howard Chaille and Mrs. Robt.
Carroll rendered some very fine
instrumental music. The "fads"
were then taken up, some of
them being very laughable and
we'll illustrated, others were Of q
literary nature and very good.
Mrs. Little's fad, "writing," was
handsomely portrayed in an orig
inal poem of much literary merit.
Some of the other fads were Miss
Sarah Bull, ''souvenirs," Miss
Nellie Anderson, "cook," Miss
Sadie Parr, dancing" and many
others worthy of mention.
After the completion of the lit
erary program the guests were
assembled in the dining room
where a daintily prepared snpper
was partaken of.
One of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the evening was the ex-
hibition of the wonderful graphic
phone by j. G. Norcross. The
music by the machine highly de-
lighted the audience who were
hearty in their thanks to Mr..
Norcross for his treat.
To Mrs. Wyatt and Mrs. Ca
son is largely due the success OF
the social as they worked very
faithfully to give all a pleasant
time, and succeeded admirably.

olution and Reputation" received in
this county only last fall. That Is one
of the peculiar characteristics OF the
Democratic party, he went on TO say
The more they are licked the harder
they will fight. We thought we had
buried them beyond resurrection but
here they are UP again like Banquo's
ghost. The next time Wen bury them
face downward and If they do dig their
way out they will land on the other
side Of the earth and we, at least, VIII
6e rid of them.
Mr.. Fleitz took occasion during his
remarks to refer to the announcement
Of a Democratic paper that he had en-
dorsed one of the Democratic candi-
dates at a Republican meeting. Il
might have said he was a good fellow
said Mr.. Fleitz. "And possibly he Is
a good fellow as the saying goes.
There are a good many good fellows
in the Democratic party. I say this
fully and without reserve yet hardly
think anyone will accuse me Of endors-
ing Democracy"

Alderman KeIiy's Statement.

Editor or Inc Tribune.
Sir; On Oct l6 last warrant was is
sued by me on information furnished by
John Marcen or (Martczin) for the appre-
hensiOn of John DGditch, whom, COM
plainant states, left his house in the night
time without paying his board bill or no.
tifying HIM OF his intention TO leave.
Prior to this, on Sept Is, the case was
before me, when the amount of judgment
which / rendered was paid over to COM
plainant, but he returned later and de-
manded more, which | fatty refused and
consequently he swore out warrant for
my arrest before Alderman John Howe,
requiring me to appear at his office on the
evening of oct 6 Business of impor-
tance detained me until late However,
when l reached Mr.. Howes office he had
gone, but Constable Penman said the case
was postponed until the following even
ing between and o'clock.
l was on hand, as Were all other parties
concerned, but notwithstanding the fact
that J have documentary evidence to OFF,
set the charges preferred, Mr.. Howe took
the evidence of the complainant under
oath, but refused absolutely to hear my
evidence or even have me sworn, and
placed me under $500 bail to appear before
criminal court, John j. Fahey, ex-sheriff,
qualifying as my bondsman.
AS l stated before, l have ample verbal
and documentary evidence to prove N.Y.
self guiltless of the charges brought
against me, and when Mr.. Howe under
takes to deprive me of my rights as n
citizen (apart from my official standing
altogether) by refusing to have me swo.n.
and in spite Of the earnest appeal of nv
attorney, w. w. Baylor, and of my own
earnest protestations, he holds me over
for a higher court, think, and in fact
know, 1t is an act of injustice, all the
more so, emanating from court of JUS
tice. John Il. Kelly.

During yesterday there was more
caving on North Main avenue, near
Wood street. Early last evening the
filling performed by the street depart
ment on Tuesday had settled and there
appeared a huge hole sixty feet long by
thirty wide and ten deep. Street car
traffic was impeded for several hours,
it being necessary to transfer passen-
gers around the scene of the trouble.
The wall i'm front of Thomas Green's
house on North Main avenue was dis
turbed, as were the foundations of
Green's house and those of Peter
Sereni, John Tafe and John Zurnuh
The cave, which on Tuesday extended
to within two yards of the street car
track, undermined the track at o'clock
last evening and prevented the pass
age of cars.
A large force of laborers was hurried
to the spot and after four hours of
filling and propping, succeeded in maxi
ing the track secure and at Ills o'clock
the cars began running. Meanwhile
passengers were transferred afoot for
half block at that point.
The settling of the earth from be-
meath the water main of the Provi-
dence Gas and Water company caused
a break in one of the joints. There
was big flow of water until a gate
above the break was closed.
Late last night the Squeezing" had
almost ceased. There was an occa-
sional evidence of disturbance below
the surface and it is not improbable
that further trouble will be expert
enced in that vicinity today. The
squeezing is in the abandoned Rock
vein of the Won Storch mine,
