IMPORTANT CAPTURE
Of Two Men Supposed to Be Implicated In the Deeds of Thrasher Meade
 In Mississippi.

Capt. Donelson and Officer Patton made an important arrest last night shortly after o'clock; in fact they made two of them. a
 Henry Williams, alias Punch" Will Hams, a negro and Kid" Thomas, his white companion, are in the city prison with the charge of wanted in Mississippi opposite their names. They were arrested about 7:15 o'clock in a negro restaurant on Third avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, while seated at a table eating supper
 From descriptions and other informal tion received by the officers these men are known to be the pals of Will Clarke, alias Thrasher Meade, who is now in the county jail for blowing open safes of diff ferent postoffices in Mississippi Meade's s identity has been esta blished.
 The two men arrested last night are the same ones who were recently fined $50 each in Chattanooga where they were caught with a set of burglars tools It is said that other companions, not of their own sex, sent them money last Sun day to pay off the fines. This was done and the two men arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning. Il is supposed that they left Chattanooga last Tuesday night.
 AS soon as they landed in this city Of ficer Patton, who, by the way, is most efficient man, was on their trail Capt. Donelson was soon informed of the condi- tion of affairs and both of these officers went to work and soon had the men un- der arrest.
 The negro made several determined ef- forts to get away, but he was landed safely A
 As was the case with Will Clarke, these men were entirely reticient as to their. whereabouts and previous actions. War rants will be sworn out against them be- fore United States Commissioners today
 Officers from Mississippi will be here in a day or two and the men taken back to the scenes of their crimes The negro is also wanted for breaking jail.

really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak

We mean he can cure himself right by

stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is
a blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t
cures Constipation, Headache, Faint

proceedings of the society at it's last
annual meeting, all of the papers read
at the meeting and stenographic
report of the discussion following
these papers. AS the Horticultural

The Coming Crop.

The estimators are, as usual hard at
work sizing up the present orange
crop of Florida. If we are TO Judge
by the estimates of these wiseacres in
the past, it goes without saying that
their guesses will be very wide of the
mark.
1t is perhaps more difficult 70 esti-
mate the size of the crop this year
than ever before, for the reason that
it is so scattered, and we place very
little reliance on the published est
mates. 1t is evident, however, from
all reports, that the crop will be much
larger than the growers expected in
the early part of the season. This is
good sign, and Indicates that the
trees have done better than was ex-
pected, and are bearing a little as
early as the second year after the dis
astrous freeze. We do not mean to
minimize the damage of the freeze,
but we are pleased to note that it was
not quite as bad as we feared-but it
was bad enough.
Those who had the courage to stick
at it and keep up, or remake, their
groves, will, we think, reap their re-
ward earlier than they thought pos
sible. The curtailed production, caus-
ed by the abandonment of many
groves, and the increased price that
would otherwise result from the in
creased duty, is sure to react to the
advantage of the plucky growers.
