Miss Randolph when he pressed his suit
month ago. His opportunities did
not cease with the answer, and the girl
slapped his face one day on the car when
he tried to be familiar. Since then
there have been numerous incidents of
the courtship in the courts.
About a week ago Miss Randolph was
compelled to take car which carried
Smith. She was the only passenger,
and during the trip she felt that Smith
was staring at her the whole way. Sub
sequently che felt a drowsy sensation,
and on transferring TO q cable car for
a trip to the shopping district was 50
overcome with that feeling that she
could not tell what she was doing. In
stead of continuing as originally in
tended, Miss Randolph took another car
home. Before she arrived at the house
she fell on the sidewalk and was taken
indoors by neighbor. Since then she
has not opened her eyes, but is able TO
maintain conversation.

the same year, in consequence of a

A BIG MOlLUSk.
Eight-Ton Carcass Washed Ashore Oh
the Beach of Anastasia Island.

the Beach of Anastasia Island.
The huge mollusk ashore on the beach
of Anastasia island continues to attract
the attention of scientists, says the
Florida Citizen. DR.. De Witt Webb has
received instructions to spare no ex-
pense in obtaining a series of photo
graphs of the carcass, and with this end
in view he engaged four heavy horses,
a dozen men, and with three sets of
tackle went to South Beach for the
purpose of raising the heavy object from
its bed in the sand and placing it upon
board platform, so that it can be pho
tographed and examined on all sides.
When the party reached the mollusl1
the tide was found to be favorable for
work, and after several hours of labor
the great mass was hauled from the
sand in which it was imbedded and
placed on q platform of boards. The
men at work, who are in the habit of
handling heavy weights, state that the
carcass weighs fully eight tons. What
it weighed when alive must be imag-
ined, but it must have been great, for
the mass has been ashore for nearly two
months, and if it is true that it f1oated
from the arctic regions it lost its ten
tacles and shell en- route. The shape of
that part of the mollusk that was i'm
bedded in the sand is similar to that
which was exposed from the time it
came ashore, but another series of pho
tographs will be taken, as view Of the
entire mass can now be obtained since
it has been placed on the platform.
These photographs will be sent to the
Smithsonian institution and to Yale col
lege for the purpose of classification.

FLORIDA BLIGHTED.
Coid Snap Causes Havoc Among
Crops and Orchards.
Thousands of Acres of Vegetation Turned
from Healthy Green to Black and.
Yellow-Loss May Amount
to Millions.

From every section of the state of
Florida save the extreme southern por-
ton come stories of blighted truck
farms and grave fears for the orange
groves, which were just beginning to
recover from the blasting effects of the
blizzard that swept over the state in
February, 1895. In northern and west
ern Florida nothing escaped the blight
of the wintry weather that came with
the stiff wind from the northwest. In
these sections but few oranges are
grown, and nothing had been done to
rehabilitate the groves killed in 1895.
But there were immense areas devoted
to truck, and these areas look as if they
had been swept by fire, so black and
yellow are the plants that but two days
ago were green.
In the section south of Jacksonville,
where the blizzard ragged most fiercely,
we're located all the great orange
groves, which were a gold mine until
the freeze of 1895, all of the strawberry
farms which yielded rich returns, many
pineapple plantations andlemon groves,
and thousands ofacres of Irish potatoes,
cabbage, beans, lettuce and other veg
etables.
The orange trees were shoots of one
and two years growth, full of sap, and
incapable of resisting cold like trees
that have attained greater age and in
which sap had given place to hardy
fiber. If the young shoots have been
killed, as now seems likely, the blow
will be a terrible one to the growers,
for hundreds of them have invested
their all in the attempt to rehabilitate
their groves.
1t is estimated that there were 200,-
600 acres in vegetables south of jack
sonville, and the crop would soon have
been ready for the northern markets.
Ninety per cent. of this crop is lost, and
the truckers are now contemplating a
heavy outlay and no hope of returns.
The vegetable acreage was much larger
than usual, because since the destruc-
ton of the orange groves in 1895 grow
ers generally had turned to vegetables
for revenue while engaged in rehabili-
tating their groves.
The loss will reach hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, and if the orange
shoots are killed will run in the mil
lions. The loss will fall heavily on the
country merchants and the country
banks, which have made advances to the
truckers. The railroads also, which re-
ceived fancy rates for carrying the veg
etables to market, will suffer greatly.
