Ho.M In a Graveyard.

One of the largest hotels in Central
America and by far the largest I'm Be-
lie, Honduras, is surrounded by tomb
stones. AS this old and abandoned
cemetery was located in the center OF
the town, and afforded an excellent
site for an hotel, the necessary permis-
sion was obtained from the proper au-
thorities, and In less than a year a
large and handsome hotel was erected
In digging the foundation hundreds OF
skulls and bones were discovered, all
Of which were carefully collected and
inferred in the new cemetery The hoz

TAPPED GOVERNMENT TREES.
Floridians Fined for Trespassing on
Government Property.

Pensacola. Fla. May T.-tSpecial.)-
Judge Charles Swayne. of the United
States court. now in session in this city,
has made a most important decision in
regard to taking of turpentine from gov
eminent timber. James ~. Bryan and
w. IL. Hood. of Santa Rosa. Fla. We're
some time since arrested by the United
States marshal charged with boxing tim
Der on government lands for the purpose
of procuring turpentine. The case was
tried before Judge Charles Swayne, who
fined the defendants 81, 15i1O each with
costs OF prosecution and in addition SEN
fenced them to serve one day in prison.
The point at issue was that taking tur-
pentine from timber was not a violation
OF the law. in that the timber was not
cut The judge, however, decided that il
was and passed the above sentence This
question has never yet been passed on by
the United States court of appeals at
New Orleans The defendants Yesterday
took an appeal To that court, giving bond
in the sum of $l.J0o each. If the decision
of Judge Swayne is upheld il Will AFFECT
the entire Lurpentinr interests of this
section. as it is understood that operators
have been reaping a harvest from tur-
pentine taken from government timber
The case Is looked forward to with much
interest as the decision is considered tn
be one Of the most important yet made IN
this district.
