PROBABLE MURDER.
The Mysterious Death of IL Hungarian
Arouses SUSPICION.

Deputy Coroner Julius Spaeth was
hotified early yesterday morning that
at a house in Fell township near NO.
10 bridge a. man had been found dead
with indications that he had been mur-
dered. He proceeded at once to Simp-
son and empanelled a number of resi-
dents to act as Jurors, as follows: Ed
ward ]. Neary. Daniel Heaey, Timothy
Holmes, Patrick Healey John T.
Thomas and Nicholas Glynn. They
proceeded to the house and found the
body of a Hungarian, named Albert
Vintegratz. An examination Cf the
dead body showed a number " bad
contusions, though there did n6 ap-
pear to be any wounds. 1t appears
that the man, with number of COM
panions, had been on a drupken de-
bauch. There had been during the
night a goot deal of fighting.
Six Hungarians were placed under
arrest by Constable Daniel Healey
and are now in the Fell township lock-
up. being suspected of having been
concerned in the death of the Hun
Agarian. The result of the investigation
rs not yet known. Coroner Longstreet
of Scranton will investigate the affair.

WRECK ON THE ERIE.

A serious accident happened on
Thursday night to Conductor 'ichael
Kerrins train on the Erie railroad,
near Stevens Point. His coal train
broke in two, and then came together
again, causing a terrific crash so that
twelve gondola cars were depGlished,
and their contents thrown ~ " the
tracks. No one was injured. vt the
loss will amount to several thousand
dollars. For several hours traffic was
suspended and the wrecking gang were
engaged in clearing the tracks. The
work was not completed until morning.
The Delaware and Hudson passenger
train due in this city at 1850 p. m.
did not arrive until nearly o'clock

VIEWERS DECIDE.

Messrs. 3. r. Blair Frank Smith,
and ]. b. Shannon were appointed by
the court as viewers to decide as to the
d Images to property owners, by the
TIL Main street improvements. They
tluded, after thorough investiga-
n that no change had resulted in
the relative value of the property, so
that neither benefits or damages were
awarded. There was some difference
of opinion among the owners of real
estate but the majority appear to be
satisfied with the decision. The view
ers will make their report at the Sep
amber term of court.

| educational fund for all school pur-
poses is a liberal one, and amounts
| to a little over SO per capita.
Florida's financial condition is
most admirable. She has no floating
debt, and her comptroller's warrants
pass as current in the moneyed
marts of the country as the best
| bank check.
Of her comparatively small bond
ed debt, only $357,7O is in the hands
| of individuals, the remainde r being
| in her educational fund and her
sinking fund.
Up to 1881 Florida's financial re-
sources had been stagnant, and her
| internal improvement fund was so
| fettered with debt that she had no
| development. Her taxable resources
| at that time, and for some ten years
| prior, had averaged about $31 100000
When her internal improvement
| debt in the summer of 1881, by what
was known as the ''Disston Sale" an
| immense and unparalleled impetus
was given to her progress. In three
years her taxable resources rose
from $31 100000, to over $7O,OOO,OOO.
an increase of 1870 per cent in thirty
| six months.
The increase steadily continued,
and has more than reached 100000,
coo since that period.
Notwithstanding her large dona
tions to educational and charitable
institutions, her tax rate for state
purposes proper has been reduced 20
two and one-half mills upon the dol
Lar, and her treasury stands ready
to meet all her obligations as they
fall due. Her Indebtedness per cap
tia lis less than $3.50. Her banking
facilities are the equal Of any state,
in proportion to population, and
prosperous condition.
Broad as may seem the claim that
| Florida leads every state in the I'm
ion in point of healthfutlness, yet it
/, is true that in this regard the eli
| mate of Florida stands pre-eminent,
! and it may be asserted without fear
