WINTER PARK POINTERS.
Rollins College COmmencement-An
other Good Road Built.

Winter Park, Fla, May 27.-Although
this is the dull summer season when hotels
are closed and winter residents and guests
gone to their northern homes, the COM
mencement exercises of Rollins College all
ways brings a crown of parents and friends
to participate in what generally proves
to be attractive literary, musical and ath-
letic entertainments.
President George NJ. Ward preached the
baccalaureate sermon to a large congre-
cation on Sunday morning. Monday and
Tuesday were busy days, and Tuesday
night the presidents reception brought
over quite a crowd of prominent people
from Orlando. The commencement exer-
cises yesterday were well attended and
proved unusually attractive. To-day sees
the close of the college for the summer.
Rollins College has had rather hard
time in the past, but under President Ward
it seems to have entered upon a prosper
GUS career He is young, fun of vim, a
popular speaker and most charming man
socially.
More than 81 900 have just been expend-
ed here on another clay road east of the
Seminole hotel, and in its construction we
have an example of what our rich winter
residents do for us in the way of public
improvements MIR. w. c. Comstock of
Chicago, who has an elegant winter resi-
dence here. gave $125 to this road, and his
generous wife added 800, although both
had given literally to the fund for build
ing the two Orlando clay roads. Another
wealthy giver in these enterprises is
Hon. Isaac a. Hopper of New York, who
is now here TO look after Improvements
on his valuable winter residence between
this place and Orlando.
Rev. j. H. Martin. pastor OF the Metho-
dist church here during the past five
years, has accepted the invitation of Gen.
Harvey Post, G. A. r., of Sanford to
preach its Memorial day sermon next Sun
day, and IL is very likely that quite a num-
Der of union veterans will go from sew
eral points between Winter Park and San
ford.
The friends of Capt. and Mrs. Vallette
are deeply panied at their mishap the
other night. in which both were severely
burned. The stable at their chateau
near this city was discovered in flames
and in their efforts, largely fruitless 70
save the horses, carriages, etc, they re-
ceived dangerous burns Capt Vallette
is quite an invalid, and will be slow to re-
cover. Mrs. Nallette is a charming wo-
man. a daughter OF the Revolution and
sister Of Editor Olney Of the New York
World. The loss of property was consid-
cradle and was not covered by insurance.

WILKINSON VS.. WILSON.
Hearing of the Noted Suit Besun in
the Supreme Court.

the supreme AOuENs
Atlanta, Ga, May 27.-The case of Will
kinson against Wilson, involving $4,000,
which has a local interest to Savannah
ians, on account of the former prominence
of the parties as residents of that city.
was put on trial in the supreme court to-
day. The litigation has already covered
a period of fifteen years.
Maj U. B. Wilkinson and B. J. Wilson
formed partnership to conduct a COM
mission business in Savannah in 1866.
Their affairs prospered. and in 1871 Maj.
Wilkinson moved to Newman, where he
opened a branch under the name of u.
B. Wilkinson & Co. The name of the Sa-
vannah firm was changed from Wilkin-
son & Wilson to B. j. Wilson & Co.
In the eighties the parties disagreed,
and the courts were resorted to to settle
their differences. After a great amount
of litigation, the case was referred to the
late Col. E. NJ Broyles as auditor. He
found that Wilson was indebted to Wilkin-
son in the sum of $4,000. After the find
ing of the auditor, and before it was con-
frmed by the court, Col. Wilson disposed
of all his property. Wilkinson alleges that
the transfers were fraudulently made and
that the claimants colluded with Wilson to
prevent him from collecting his money.
Col. 3. ]. Wilson owned valuable real es-
tate in this city, including business and
residence property. He also owned a
large tract of land in Washington county
and an island near Savannah. He was
the father-in-law of Messrs. Henry Potts
and John l.. Tie, who claim his prop

Big RATS of sawn timber are being float
ed down the AItamaha river for export
to England through Brunswick. The
Spanish steamship Ramon de Larrinaga
will take the timber across. Such ship

possible to load deep draft vessels here.

Negotiations are on foot by which Bruins
wick may secure control of the local wat

was commenced by Mayor Mason previous
to the recent adverse decision of the court
on his case Judge Speer has ordered the
waterworks sold, and If the city can get
control of them ii will be a good thing for
the public. AT present the system is a
burden on the consumer. Rates are high
and the service is complained of as poor

eft of the Famine Sufferers
Washington, Ca. May IA good deal
of interest has been aroused here in be-
half of the India sufferers. 1t had a
somewhat pathetic beginning. A gentle
man reading the account Of the starving
people in that suffering land, was deeply
touched by it. He began to think what
he could do to help them. About four
years ago he had lost little son about IA.
Among the boys possessions was a two
and a half-dOlar gold piece, which the
family had never been willing either to
use or to give away. Now, however, he
concluded that the dead child's money
would be well used in keeping other chill
dren from such a cruel death, so he sent
on the treasured keepsake at once. Then
he asked a lady friend of his to write an
appeal for the sufferers in the Gazette
Chronicle. She did so, and the chord of
sympathy was touched. Without any fur
Their solicitation, contribution to the
amount of about $50 came in, and were
handed to the gentleman, who forwarded

dies took 1t up, and the amount has been
raised to about $50.

and the sympathy of the jury will be
in her favor. American juries are pro-
verbally lenicnt toward her sex. She
will be acquitted, but whore will your
real criminal be? In some foreign land. "
Mr.. Barnes listened with considerable
interest to all this, for 1t was precisely
what had been passing in his own mind.
He very we'll knew that confession of
so grave a crime as murder would not
by any means assure a conviction, and
he had by no means moderated the
girls ability as bold plotter. Still, he
would not dismiss from his mind the
possibility that, after all, she might be
guilty. The story which she had told
was a most plausible one. Moreover, its
very simplicity seemed to prevent sus-
picion that it had been manufactured.
Besides it fitted sn well all the most
c=4nplicated points IN the case. Then.
how did she know that there were two
wounds? Neither the doctor nor Bur-
rows would have told her, and as she
was the last witness to enter the room
she could not have heard the previous
testimony.
Addressing his companion again, he
said;
"All that is very true, but suppose
that Miss Lewis does not retract3'
"But tell you she will. Why should
she allow herself to suffer the penalty
and such penalty-when she Is limo
cent? AS soon rs the real criminal has
had time 70 get away safely she Will
tell all entirely different tale You will
see."
"why are you so sure that she Is act
ing part9"
"Why did she not tell the truth at
once If 1t was her intention to do sor'
"Ahl Who can be sure Of the work
ings Of human mind, and OF the mo-
tives which actuate any given coursef"
"In this case it seems to me quite
simple. When she first testified, she
thought that the murderer was safe. "
"Whom do they suspect, then?'
loan you be in doubtp Walter Mar
vel, of course. Whom else but her lover
would she risk her life to saver"
"But the dead man was her uncle,
her adopted father. Did she not love
him enough to refuse to leave him for
this very lover? Then why should she
not wish to avenge his death3"
"Granted that she loved him, he Is
dead, while her lover Is alive. She will
care more for the living than the dead.
The uncle cannot be restored; therefore
the lover must not be sacrificed. Do you
know what she will do? She will exert
every effort to save him, and then she
will still refuse to marry him. She is
