Resolved, That in the death of Il. c.
Scrimgeour the Titusville board of trade
has lost a faithful, consistent and ener-
geuc member, and the community a
loyal, law-abiding and public spirited
citizen, As well as a kind hearted, gener-
ous nelghbOr.
Resolved, That We extend to the widow
and surviving kin folks of the deceased
our heartfelt sympathy and coincidence;
assuring them that those who knew their
departed loved one appreciated his worth
and integrity rs man among men, and
therefore fully realize the grievous loss
they have sustained, and do sadly join
them in their great sorrow.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
transcribed upon the minutes of the
board of trade, and copy presented to
the widow of the deceased.
Unanimously adopted Nov. 18th, 1900.

Cold Wave For November.

Tuesday morning was the coolest in
November experienced here in many
years, according to the recOllections of oLr
old-time citizens and few of the wealth
erwise. Under the most favorable indica-
tlons that morning there We're slight trac-
t. of frost here and there in the ham
mock near town. The last frost seen in
Brevard county III this month, according
To our oldest residents, was on November
,, 1869, when there was a heavy white
frost. This section was then part of No-
lusia county. vt that time, Mrs. f.. n.
Hall, of Sharpes, was on her way overland
to Hamilton county and camped that cool
night at the Underhll place, near Lake

only cold experienced that winter and
our orange growers and truck gardeners
will be only too glad if such will be the
case this winter also.

grove in the southwest part of this county
where with County Surveyor Robinson,
of, Orange, and Fries, of this county, they

Beggs majority in the circuit il 81.
Mr. Jones has decided To contest the
vote OF Orange and Dade counties. Judge
Beggs has filed notice of contest i'm Bre-
ward and Osceola counties, in all those
precincts, where the vote in the primary
exceeded the vote for thelowest man on
the state and national ticket
1t Is probable that Mr. Jones grounds
for contest are about the same, and rs
this will affect very many precincts in
each Of these four counties, the result
may be changed should all such precincts
be- thrown out by the Democratic state
executive committee.
The instructions of the state committee
were not regarded III many instances by
either inspectors or voters, and it would
seem To Us that if the party wants TO con
tinue the use of the primary system that
il will become necessary TO throw out
such precincts where inspectors and the
voters have disregarded such instructions
as the only means of forcing our coun-
ties 10 keep the primary exclusively for
Democrats and not for the promiscuous
use of people of all political creedS and
ideas, otherwise the primary system of
nominations will be repudlated by the

philadelphia, Sept. 26.-There is more
activity in the coal miners strike situation
than for several days past. Men are march
ing from mine to mine in the Hazelton
region inducing workers to quit and GO
home, being careful to SO conduct them
selves as not to transgress the law.

thing is quiet, though the Reading COM
pany has three less mines at work today
than working yesterday.
Taking the entire coal field as q whole
it may be said that fewer men are at work
today than at any time since the strike
began, and consequently less coal is being
produced.

demonstrations last week prove to
have been more extended than was at
first reported. From Cagayan and Isa-

cautionary measures. Merchants in
the province of Albay are getting their
hemp to Manila as fast as possible
fearing it will be burned by the insur.
gents.
At Iloilo there was considerable anx.
iety lest an uprising should occur, but
the insurgents there are ceasing their
activity.
