COPELAND CONVICTED.
Negro Who Killed His Wife at Win
ter Park Likely to Hang.

Orlando, Fla, April 6-On the
night of March "A, at Winter
Park, four miles from here, Sherman
Copeland, a negro who had been living
in that vicinity for the past fifteen years
and who had previously borne a good rep
utation, killed Mary Clark and wounded
her companion, a negro named King.
The woman was living apart from her
husband and Copeland claimed that he
mad furnished her provisions and money
for her maintenance. Others declare that
he had induced or compelled her to sepa-
rate from her husband, and that she work
ed for her living, but that the two had
carried on Illicit intercourse. OF late May
had transferred her affections to King,
and on the night of the murder she attend
ed cake walk in Orlando in company
with him. Copeland was incensed at this
and armed himself with a pistol and Sc
creted himself in Marys house until she
and King returned, about midnight. When
they entered the house hostilities began.
King was shot through the arm. The
woman ran from the house, followed by
Copeland. They passed near the house
and through the yard of Edward Brown,
the woman screaming and Copeland beat
ing her When near the gate he pulled
with it, then seized an AK and hit her
with this. Brown testified that they then
passed out of his sight, but he heard two
more blows and heard Copeland say that
he had killed her. Her head was nearly
severed from her body.
The case was called yesterday morning
and the facts given were brought out in
the evidence. Copeland admitted the kill
ing but claimed that he acted in self
defense.
The forenoon was spent in securing
jury. The trial began at 2 o'clock. At
in the evening the case went TO the jury,
and in less than an hour a verdict of gull
ty was returned.
The prisoners counsel moved for new
trial and court put over the sentence
until 10 o'clock tomorrow in order to give
counsel time to prepare argument on the
motion. The probabilities are that the
motion will be denied and the prisoner
will be given the shortest time allowed
by the law-thirty days-to prepare for
execution.

Candidates in the Field.
New York Sun: Handsome Bob Berner,

nomination for Governor of Georgia. took
the stump at Swainsboro the other day,

a little queer, however, to find an intrepid

WINTER HAVEN'S CROPS.
Effects of Dry weather of the Past

EnecIS Ol DES w ~
Month Disastrous.
Winter Haven, Fla, April 6.--The very
dry weather during the past month has
proved disastrous TO all vegetable growth.
Unless rain comes within few days the
crops of this section will prove an utter
failure. Far worse than the drought, Is the
mighty hord of worms that has attacked
tha blossoms and young fruit. These tiny
pests. though too small in many instances
to be seen without the aid of micro
scope have, with persistent energy, resist
ed all efforts made for their destruction,
Dushed on from field to field, leaving ruin
and desolation in their wake. AS If in
some measure to counterbalance these
evils. the sweet potato crop is good, and
luscious mulberries may be had for the
asking. Small shipments of beans and
SQUASH still continue, returns therefrcm
being fairly good.
Our energetic nurseryman, Mr.. klemm,
has been kept quite busy shipping orange,
lemon. and other tropic fruit trees to va
rious parts of this and other states. Our
fruit trees are standing the drought well,
and next seasons yield will probably prove
abundant
