, TO BURN sHERIFF's HOME.

Tuesday afternoon Alvin Braswell, a
negro confined in the county Jail at
Lawrenceville on the charge of assault
and attempt to murder, made his es-
cape by the aid of a negro trusty. The
negro had made frequent threats to
burn out the sheriffs home in the coun-
try if ever given his freedom. Sheriff
Haslett, therefore, as soon as he had
learned of his escape, sent a message
to his sons on the farm to look out
for him. In a few hours the negro was
observed approaching the country
home, and on being ordered to stop, he
wheeled and began to run. Both Of
the sheriff's sons opened fire, and Bohn,
the younger, made good his second
shot, hitting the negro in the small of
the back with a shotgun, making
serious wound. II is feared that the
negro will die. He was brought to
town in a wagon and has been safely
lodged in jail again.

DANGER OF THE WHITE FLY.

Gainesville Sun: The orange indus
try of Florida is steadily coming to the
front II the winters continue to be
mild which now seems probable, 1t will
be but a few years until the orange
crop of Alachua county will assume
very large proportions. A bulletin has
just been issued from the Experiment
Station at Lake City, which should he
read by every orange grower in the
state. The bulletin says that the white
fly is probably the worse citrus insect
in Florida. 1t does not kill the trees
so quickly as some of our scales, but
is very persistent in it's attacks upon
the leaves, sapping the vitality of the
trees. impairing the quality, flavor and
keeping quality of the fruit, and rem
dering both trees and fruit unsightly
because of the black sooty mold, Me-
lola, that invariably develops in the
honey dew excreted by the insects. The
damage to some of our orange growing
counties is at present hardly less than
a quarter of a million dollars annually
and with the rapid extension of citrus
industry in these sections, single coun-
ties promise to suffer a loss of a half
million dollars each year, within a
dozen yN"rs, If present conditions con-
tinue. tensive and promising ex-
perimc. work wit hfumigation is be-
ing conducted by the station and an
nouncements of results will be made as
fast as positive conclusions are reached.

OFF BY THE SAGHAYA. WHICH
SUFFERED SEVERELY.

Because OF the dragging OF an anchor. the yacht
Saghaya, belonging to Howard c. Smith. OF the
New-York Yacht Club. foued j. Pierpont Nor
gans yacht Corsar yesterday. and caused the
latter to foul the yacht Norman. belonging to
Frank Tilford. of the club. The three yes

the East River. The Corsair and the Norman
were not damaged 10 any extent but the Saghaya
was so much injured that she towed TO Nor
ris Heights for repairs.
There seems be definite knowledge Of the
reason why the Sayhaya dragged her anchor No
one excepting members Of the crews were aboard
any Of the vessels when the accident happened.
and there were no scenes Of excitement and no
danger to anybody.
With a lot of other yachts the three vessels were
lying anchor at the New-York Yacht Clubs
station. No 2 The tide flooding strongly OF

position. above and about midway between her

anchor of the SaGhaya dragged. and she began to
drift broadside on toward the Corsair. The crew

the anchor cable as rapidly as they could rms et

At this moment the SaEhaya, driven by the
strong tide. struck the Corsairs bowsprit and
jammed her against the norman me oorsslr rssd
mast of the bowsprit OF the Saghaya directly
against her bowsprit. The foremast broke off just

THE BITING.

DR. Doty believes he has discovered one OF the

that bite them, and have given them 10 DR.. Doty
They were actually caught inside the house and
therefore as Or. Doty says. red handed Six
different varieties were brought 10 him by his vol
unteer assistants and OF these five were the fam
lily of anophees. DR. Doty has taken them TO his
laboratory for experimenting. These specimens. he
believes. prove what he has maintained. that the
excessive amount of malaria that exists near these
ponds is caused by the mosquitoes which carry the
disease. II is a fact that every family in that
neighborhood suffers more or less from chills and
fever.
Another of the ponds was impregnated with oil

When Burr left the hospital he applied for his

REBELS HOLD UP A TRAIN
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CAPTURED
UNITED STATES WILL PROBABLY
NOT INTERFERE.

Washington Aug. 6.-Consul Gudger, at Pana-
ma to-day sent the following cable dispatch to
the State Department:
Liberals detained for one hour passenger train
al Matachin this morning; captured some gov
ernment officials; no looting; no damage
The dispatch OF Consul Gudger may prove Of
some Importance in determining the course of
the United States toward the Colombian up
rising as Matachin. the point mentioned where
the revolutionists stopped train. is directly on
the line of the Panama Railroad and Of the pro-
posed route of the canal.
It is the first official indication that there is
an interruption of the traffic across the isthmus
The United States is bound by treaty to keep
this traffic open to the world. Whether any
positive steps will be taken depends upon the
extent 10 which the revolutionists are able to
interfere with free transit across the isthmus.
AS Mr.. Gudger's dispatch indicates that the de-
lay only one hour and moreover that no
damage and looting occurred. it is hardly
likely that this would be such an interference
with free transit as TO call for energetic steps
by this government. II is an indication to ofl-
cials however of the boIdness of the revolution
ary element and of their strength along this
vital artery of commerce across the isthmus
The dispatch was not communicated to the
Navy Department and there appears to be no
movement thus far TO send an American ship
to that quarter
1t is said officially in this connection that no
requests have been received for the protection
of American interests. and, moreover, such in
formation as reached the State Department prior
10 Mr.. Gudger's dispatch of to-day related to
trouble at remote points in the interior. where
there are no American interests requiring pro-
lection. Except to protect American interests,
II is not usual for the State Department TO take
CogniZance Of revolutionary movements In case
of actual war between Colombia and Venezuela,
the usual declaration of neutrality would be is
sued when this government had been ADVISED
officially of a state of war. So long as the az
fair in Colombia or Venezuela partakes of the
character of revolution, official action will he
called for beyond a careful outlook for any
American interests which may become i'm
perilled.
