A QUICK RESPONSE MADE
TO 4 TELEGRAM FOR HELP FROM
 FORT 4LGER.

ny New Haven Ladies - More of
 Their Patriotic Spirit Evidenced Yea.
 terday-suppiies for the Sick and
 Suffering in Other Ftelds-Tventv
 Women Nurses for Fort Alger.
 Nothing but praise can be uttered re. garding the patriotic work in Connec- ticut in sending aid to the sick and suf- fering soldiers. An instance of this is the following which occurred yester- day: Mrs. Sarah Kinney, state regent of the D. A. R., received a telegram night before last from Chaplain Kelsey Of the First regiment that the sick and suffering of that command needed pil. lows very much. With magic-like en- terprise Mrs. Kinney had her forces in immediate reach at work yesterday morning and before night the D. A. R. had made and Mrs Kinney had shipped in response to the telegram, one hun dred pillows
 Yesterday also the D. A. R. at Mrs. Kinney's direction, sent to the New Haven hospital for the sick and wounded soldiers there, fifty sheets. forty bed covers, box of oranges. a box of lemons, crate of grapes, case of Weythe's beef jams and $100 in cash, The D. A. R. also sent yesterday large consignment of supplies for the sick and suffering at Fort Wadsworth.s N. r.. harbor. included in which were seventy five sheets, mems stockings and slippers, etc., etc.
 Heretofore none but male nurses have been on duty at Camp Alger, but an appeal came this week to Washington for women nurses at Fort Alger Mrs. Kinney, who is a member of the nation- al board, D. A. R., yesterday received telegram from Washington saying that in response to the appeal the D. A. R, relief corps had sent twenty women nurses to Camp Alger to assist in the work there. The nurses sent are Sis- ters of Charity. It may not be general ly known, but such is the fact, that the Daughters of the American Revolution has an admirable hospital corps con-
 -- nected with the society and the high estimation in which it is held may be seen from the fact that no woman nurse who enlists either in the army or the navy is accepted by the national medical authorities at Washington who has not first been favorably passed up-s on and endorsed by the D. A. R. Of course where a nurse volunteers the. rule does not apply But where female nurses enlist the rule is in operation.
 The D. A. R. will at once send more women nurses to Camp Alger if the government calls for more. The society has the work of this bureau well in hand and thoroughly systematized, and has been of immense service already in helping in the work of caring for the sick and wounded of the army and navy.

TITO BODIES RECOVERED AND
 BURIED AT SEA.

Gloucester. Mass. Aug. 24.-Two fish ing schooners who arrived to-day from Quaro bank, each reported the finding of victims of the Bourgogne disaster In each case the body after being thoroughly examined was sewn up in canvas, weighted and then consigned to the deep.

Norwood, Cap- tain Johnson, reported that when sixty miles west of the scene of the disaster, q body of @ middle-aged man was found floating In the ocean, supported by life belt The body was taken aboard and the clothing carefully ex- mained for identification marks Noth- ing was found, however. He was ap- parently about forty years of age, quite stout, with a dark moustache. There was no money in the pockets of his clothes, but he had a valuable watch, on the back of which was set a dia- mond. The shield over the face was engraved with the initials c. D. A., while the chain carried a Knights ot Pythias charm. On the face of the watch were crossed the American and Italian flags.

Captain PO0ser and the Deficit.

County Tax Collector F. d.
Pooser returned home Saturday
from Hot Springs, Ark, whittier
he had gone en- the advice of his
physicians to build up his health
and restore his eye sight, which
had become greatly impaired by
over-Work on his tax books.
The Star representative had an
interview with Captain Pooser
regarding his health and his un-
settled accounts with the county,
knowing the deep interest taken
in the matter by all our tax pay
ers. Captain Pooser is still quite
weak, but as soon as he is strong
enough will proceed to overhaul
his books and feels confident that
he can show that he owes the
county much less than the
amount published, if he owes it
anything.
The Star is certainly willing to
suspend Judgment and patiently
await Captain Pooser's recovery,
SO that opportunity may be
granted him to set himself right
before his constituents. In this
connection the Star desires to
say it never said or believed that
Tax Collector Pooser absented
himself purposely from his post
of duty to deprive Mr.. Porter of
his money for publishing the de-
llnquent tax list, and has implicit
confidence in Captain Pooser's
word that when his bondsmen
notified him to come to Ocala and
make the sale he would have done
SO had it taken his life, did he not
know at the time he received the
summons it was a physical impos-
sibility to reach Ocala in time to
make the sale. The other re-
ports that Captain Pooser would
never return to Ocala, the Star
passes with the contempt they
deserve. He is here to live and
die with us, and that is sufficient.

show and had many pretty and

Bank Building Sold.

The sale of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank building, vaults and
fixtures took place yesterday by
Receiver Stapylton upon an order
from the court, and Messrs. Mum
roe & Chambliss were the pur-
chasers and the price paid was
$4,000. The only other bona fide
bid was $4,000 from a Tampa
man, Mr.. Liddon, by his friend,
Mr.. Trice. There were some
other conditional bids. One by a
capitalist for $4,000 and one from
a Kentucky firm for $4,000, but
conditional on the people of this
city-raising $4,000 of the capi-
tai stock, which they did not do.
Mr.. Stapylton has accepted the
best bid and sold the property to
the best of his ability, but it is
very cheap. The vaults and fix
lures alone cost the price paid.
Messrs. Munroe & Chambliss
will open a state bank just as
soon as they can organize, and
until that time will continue in
their present satisfactory and
profita BILE business. The building
has fallen into good hands.
