third and last rank in the order: ]. B.

= Mr.. Lake was not given a
chance to care for himself. A
telegram was sent him, stating
that the bolters would attempt
to capture the organization. Wed

sponse. to two kilograms, arose
from his sick bed and walked
Ave miles to Albany, through
snow and sleet in the darkest part
of the night. He is not tied to
factions, but he considers that the
very principles of our government
are involved in the present con-
test over organization, and he did
not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

A PoPULIST IN ARMS.

Last June, the populists of Scio placed
terson for constable and when the ballots
were counted, he was found to be the
successful candidate. As further mark
of esteem, he was appointed deputy
sheriff by Sheriff Gaines. He donned
the trappings and the suits of Office and
awaited impatiently for an opportunity to
display his 6tuess for the proud position
and, incidentally, to show the old parties
populist's notion of how the business
should be handled.
Last Saturday his opportunity came.
An escaped convict, one Pepperlin, was
thought to be in Albany, and to Patter-
son was assigned the task of capturing
him. Buckling on his arn,or, aud throw
ing over his counteHauce look of saw
age determination, he sailed forth. His
conscience told him that the glittering
grog shop was the most likely place
wherein to seek his prey, and suiting his
action to the thought, he hied hin,
there. His man was not III, but the con-
stable, unwilling to doubt the prompt
ings of the "wee sma' voice." decided to
await his coming. The periods of his
stay were puuctuated with sundry mugs
of ale, which so worked upon his inagi.

him that even populist must obey th'

INSULT RESENTED.

Just as the GAzErrE went to press, an
exciting alteration occurred on Main
street between II. B. Miller, president of
the Agricultural College, and J. Fred
Yates, one of the Leading Corvallis attor-
neys. It seems that Miller hunted up
Mr.. Yates this morning and accused him
Of circulating certain reports derogatory
to Miller's character. Yates demanded
Of Miller his authority for making such
accusations. The latter at first declined
to give the information and finally said
be did not know.
"Now, Mr.. Miller" said Mr.. Yates,
''do you presume to come to me and de-
liberately accuse me to my face of
misrepresenting you, without being able
to give any satisfactory ground for the
accusation? Tell me who told you I mis-.
represented you, and we will go to him
right now."
The conversation grew more excited
aud Miller told Yates ''You are a liarp
Yates promptly Knocked the president
over. In falling, he grappled Yates and
the two tell in the street Yates broke
loose and continued to thrash his oppo
'nent until separated by friends.
Mr.. Greffoz, the jeweler, who witnessed
the affair. states that the above account il
correct. Mr.. Miller could not be seen b.
the reporter, but Mr.. Yates said he re
gretted the affair sincerely. The difficult,
was not of his seeking, and he felt callet
upon to resent the insult offered. Mr
Yates has the reputation of being peac.
able gentleman, and the citizens of Cor
Wallis, without exception, consider tina
he was justified in his vigorous treatment

THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE.
NoTaING NEW IN THE FIGHT FOR
THE sENATORsHIP.

=. Il believed the Contest VIII Mar
row Down TO ChipIey and CaII-The
Auti-RaiIrOad Legislation May Be
EoIIoyyed by Litigation and Bad
Feeling.
Tallahassee, Fla, April 25.-The work of
3be legislature the past week has prob
ohlv been of some Importance to the peo-
ia Of the state; it has certainly been of
I,ttle to the newspaper men, who have
sound the past few days almost entirely
devoid of sensation.
The chief feature of interest of the week
WAS the passage of the railroad commits
sion bill, introduced in the Senate by Mr..
carson. Worse measures have been seen,
INT not often, and when the railroads
shall have been drawn into politics by the
nrovisions of this bill, nobody need blame
themselves, but those members who fell
all over each other in their eagerness
to tell one another that they were "agin
the corporations"
This untimely measure has already been
described in this correspondence, ana it
need now only be said that a bill that
1
have made Florida what it is. to a condi-
ton of serfdom, can only end in litlga-
ton and bad feeling.
This bill evidently caught the Senate
mapping; only two senator's voted against
it. Their names deserve TO go on record.
and they are those of Senators John HART
ridge of Jacksonville and A. T. Williams
OF Fernandina.
Action on the House bill in the same di-
rection has been suspended until the SEN
ate bill can be heard from. The latter
was, upon its passage, Immediately certi-
fled to the House, where it will be taken
up next Tuesday, with every prospect of
its passage
1t is dificult to say anything new about
the sensational situation. 1t is generally
believed that Call has polled his full
strength or very near it, and that Col.
Chipley must from now on continue to
gain votes.
Col. Chipley, and those closest to him, ex-
press unbOunded confidence in his ability
to carry off the senatorial plum, and 1t is
generally understood by those on the in
side" that he has virtually pledged to him,
votes sufficient to-turn the scale his way.
The decision to continue the joint SEES
sion from day to day until an election is
reached-which was brought about in to-
days session by Senator Myers--is gen
orally believed to be a wise one, in view
of the fact that it is at the present june
ture unsafe to take any steps that might
invadate the credentials sent out by Gov.
4 Bloxham with the next senator-elect from
y Florida.
All signs point to Chipley's nomination,
and in my judgment, it is only a question
of time when the contest narrows down
to that old familiar issue, Call versus
"A Chipley.
