Col. Edwin w. Hine, who commanded
the Second New Jersey Volunteer Infan-
try in the Spanish-America war, has sent
a telegram to the Mayor of Jacksonville,

residents of the city. The officials of Jack

MIR. wAKEFIELD,s HARD LUCK.

Within just thirty-five miles from its
destination, Punta Gorda, Fla, the freight
car containing the household goods and
furniture of N NJ Wakefield, was burned.
A horse and COW in one end of the car
also persisted, the fire burning so rapidly
that they could not be gotten out. Mr..
Wakefield was moving all his effects
from Florence, S. c., to his new home and
when he saw the fire was riding on top
of the car to see the country. His two
little boys Mamie and Ernest, were in the
car, the door of which was open. Though
the train was moving twenty miles an
hour both jumped, but fortunately were
not scratched. They were picked up
again when the train finally came 10
standstill, Mr.. Wakefield having given
the alarm by running along on top of
the train until he reached the engine.
1t is thought the fire started from a spark
from the engine, a ventilation door in the
front end of the car being open. Famed
by the wind the flames wrapped around
the paper covered furniture and bedding
in a very short time, and there was no
use to think of saving anything. The
loss is about 81 900.

thousand dollar school house, which is TO

numbers its inhabitants at $500; She'll

disgrace a shameful reflection on Daw-

rLAGLER AND THE DIVORCE BILL

Ocala Banner: We refer with reluctance
to the manevolence with which Mr.. Flag
ler's name has been associated with this
bill. The attacks on him have been lit
tie less than fiendish. Having done so
much for the promotion and exaltation of
religion by the erection of churches and
the maintenance of preachers, and ready,
willing, generous contributions to charit-
able and educational institutions, having
never given utterance by word or deed
or indirection to a single political senti-
ment to which objection can be taken,
and having done so much for the mate
rial splendor of the state by the lavish
but successful expenditure of his millions,
IL does seem to us that he should have
been spared this modification and humili-
alton.

BROOKS COUNTY Is ALL RIGHT.

Quitman Advertiser: While the farmers
all over the state are suffering greatly
from the high prices of corn caused by
the scarcity of the home supply, our far
mers are using home raised grain of
which they have not only a sufficient
quantity to carry them through to the
next harvest but some have a surplus
which they are marketing and making
the high prices an advantage. If our far
mers were short on grain and feed stuffs,
as is the case in almost every other sec
ton of the state, Brooks county would be
sorely afflicted, for to cultivate a farm
and be forced to pay from 60 cents to 81
per bushel for corn would be losing
game and would consequently wind up in
ruination. To the farmers we would cite
the scarcity of feed stuffs and impress on
them the policy of planting sufficient
grain and forage to insure an abundant
harvest so that in case our neighbors
should be in want next year they could
come to their resC e and supply them
With grain and thereby shut out the
great quantities of Western products
which are at present being shipped into
this state at exhorbitant prices. So far
there has been but little grain shipped
into this county and we trust that few
indeed will be the planters who will be
forced to buy grain to carry them
through to the next harvest time.

at > O'Clock a woman attired in white
suddenly and without announcing herself
stands in the doorway that opens on the
alley. The first time she appeared the
Waterman went into faint When ne
awoke the woman was gone, and he SAID
nothing about it, because he was AFRAID
that he would be accused of having a
disordered brain. But the next night the
Waterman had the door barred, so ne
could not see through it If the appart-
ton occurred again. This time the po-
liceman on the beat saw the white figure
in the alley way, and he went to see
what was the matter. AS he walked up
close to where the woman stood, she
threw up both arms and dashed toward
him. He knew nothing else until the
Waterman had poured bucket of water
into his face The woman was gone.
Last night the Waterman got the other
fremen to sit up with him, and at
o'clock the woman appeared right in the
midst of them. None of them could speak
a word because of their fright. They
are like most men-as bold as lions ex
cept in the presence of a strange woman.
AS mysteriously as she appeared the wo-
man disappeared. The Waterman told
the Telegraph reporter just afterWard
that ne would not be surprised If there
were not some jobs vacant before night.

vertigo He fell from the scaffolding on
which he was at work, at the top of the
steeple, to the roof of the building, dis
lance of Is feet. With a rebound he was
sent to the ground below, distance OF 10
feet. At first it was thought he was dead.
DR.. McMaster was hurriedly summoned
and an examination disclosed the fact that
the negro was not seriously injured. His
mouth was badly bruised, however, and
the blood which flowed from it and cash
on the chin seemed to indicate to some of
those who went to the assistance Of Coon
that he was fatally injured.

WINNING HAND LED TO DEATH.

Gainesville Sun. With a winning poker
hand, embracing three aces and pair
Jacks, clinched tightly in his hand, John
Evans, a young negro gambler, died
bravely at Archer Wednesday night. The
assassin was Wash Perry, another gam
bier and friend of the murdered man, who
held the next best hand, three kings and
a pair of tens. The trouble between the
two men grew over these remarkably
good hands. Evans was dealing, and be-
tween the two men when the hands, were
distributed the betting became lively. FL
nally. when the showdown came. Evans
raked in the money, when Perry imme-
diately accused him of fixing the cards.
Evans called his accuser liar, at the
same time making a pass at him across
the table, when Perry drew his pistol
and fired twice, killing his man instantly.
The murderer made his escape immedi-
ately after the shooting. and has not yet
been apprehended. despite the efforts of
officers 1t is supposed he is in hiding in
one of the swamps. He is son OF Cain
Perry, who is now confined in the
