time had not seen ary of his almily.
His relatives not having heard from
him since 1875 believed him to be dead.
and the news of his death on the date
mentioned was unexpected to4 them.
The funeral services were performed
at Holy Cross Cemetery, and WIRE at
tended by his remaining relatives and
a few old friends.
Capt. Nowlin left considerably valu-
able property here. His wealth has
been variously estimated from S25, 600
to $4,000, but from good authosity we
learn that $4,000 will perhaps cpVer it.
He left no will, our informasnt last
week being mistaken on that point.
An administrator will be appoiSted to-
day, but we could not learn Ewho It
would be. :
Mr.. Geo. 3. Perkins has been attor-
ney for Capt. NoWlin for years, and
will, of course, continue to act:for the

BASE BALL.

The expected game between the Tai
lahasse and the Chip1ey base ball mines
which was agreed upon for Thursday
of last week, was not played, as the
Chipley nine wrote that they were
unable to come at that time, owing to
other engagements.
It is still expected that another
contest will soon take place that will
give the home club a chance to wipe
out the defeat of last Tuesday.
A game will, however, soon take
place amongst the boys" being be-
tween the third nine, as it is called,
and the Thomasville boys, which will
be duly reported when 1t occurs.

THE NEW CAPITOL ADDITIONS.


The committe on the auitions to be
made to the present State Capitol
building are as follows: Governor Jen-
nings. chairman, and Messrs. w. A.
Blount, of Pensacola, II. ], Drain, OF
Lakeland, and C. NJ. Brown, OF Ocala-
these gentlemen Will meet in Few
days for final action upon accepting
the plans and suggestions OF the arcn-
itect.
MIR. Milburn, the architect, has sub
mitted plans to the Board; no actlon
as vet has been taken, as there Is La
bility of having some further changes.
The plan as at present proposed Is 10
build two wings 5Ox10 feet on eacn OF
the North and South ends OF the cap
itol. three stories high, as is the pres
ent structure. There will be a cupola
in the centre of the main building, the
lower part Of which will be plat1orm
opening so that it will furnish an al-
tractive outlook for persons desiring
to see the surrounding country. The
dome will be helmet shaped, surround-
ed by a single staff. Below the front
porch of the present building will be
altered to correspond with the front
OIL the two addl.-ops.
The benefit derived from these two
additions will directly affect every de-
partment. All of the offices Will be
upon the same floor as that OF the Gov
ernor. and the basement Of the entire
building made fre-proof, this VIII en-
able the safe keeping Of all OF the re-
cords of the State, and in itself De
worth more to the State tnan the
whole amount to be expended. A fire,
in the present state of the cap col,
would be a calamity indeed, for al
though the best efforts OF the unlteo
city were used in addition to alieged
fire-proof safes, there could not talI 20
be great loss and damage.
The second story will consist OF
large chambers in each of the wings
for the Senate and the House meet
ings The Adjutant-Generafs apart
ments and a large number OF smaller
rooms for committees and commls-
Sioners. The Senate Chamber ls the
smallest of the two larger rooms, as II
contains only thirty-two members. Tne
House chamber, with its stXty-touI
members, will run the whole length oi
the wing. Each story will contain sep
arate toilet apartments, and the Wnole
building will contain all modern I'M
provements that the city can otfer, al
though electricity is not yet 1ntro,
dueed into Tallahassee, 1t is expected
1t will come by the time the Duho1ne
is completed.
The final meeting will be called now
in a few days for the adoption o.
these plans of the architect, press o.
O-her business having some bearing
on the date.
Each officer in every department O
State will be directly benefited by INT
extension of the building, and all ar
delighted both at the increased faclll
ties for State accommodation and alsC
at the higher fact, that OF the upWar'
growth Of the State.

compromised in some way, so that
neither the road nor their land would
be sold at present. But" he added, 81
cannot speak positively or with any
official knowledge on the subject" A
third gentleman whom the reporter
approached in regard to the mat
terter replied with an ominous shake
Of the head, mo, nothing was done. Z"
AS he did not seem to consider that
there had been anything like a meet
ing, or any action in regard to the
matter, or even a postponement of a
meeting, the reporter decided that
whatever was done, if anything, was
not yet public property. WIN try it

TAX SALE CERTIFICATES.

Few have under ST bod fully about the
matter, so prominently before the peO-
pie Of the State at tie present time, Of
tax sale ,certifcatesl That the matter
was an important ole nobody douDteU,
out that it was sucH an important one
and one of such immense extent; few,
probably, really imagined.
Heretofore it haf been customary
for the State to handle each CeeG U.
certificate of land THAT was sod OF
transferred to the State for 1On-paS-
ment Of taxes, ands complete record
of such TRANSACTIONS kept, not IN the
county itself, Wherf they properly b.
Ionged, EIt at the States capital 1T

ence thus made tS nearly everybody

say to lnQIYi0ual PARTIES also, that the
matter was IsC aSItated or relegatIns
to eacA county the management Of It's
own tax sales and transfers in its own
lJOrtIOn OI The States territory LlaL
our honorable Governor, Mr.. Jennings,
took up the subject in MS address De
fore his Inauguration, and literally
stumped the Etata in it's defense.
When Mr.. jennings took up the mat
ter it was eagerlyssuppOrted by pTOmi-
nent Senators nd Representatives,,
who were quick I'd see the results of 81
important a moYSment.
A bill was Immediately framed and
at once passed tie House and Senate,
and soon became g law. Then began
the real work Of the mechanical part
Of the transfer.
Each county held part and parcel in
the imense numeer of certificates, al
fled and accumulated in the Office o:
the State Treasurer, in the State cIpi,
tol, and numbering in the neighher-
hood Of hundred to a hundred and
twenty-five thousand.
The counting: examining checking
OF and re-arranging Of all these ceFtl-
f1cates had then to be gone through
with. The clerk Of the circuit court OF
each county was obliged to be person
ally present and examine and VOuch
for the certificates Of his county, there
being between three and four thousand
Of these in some counties; the numbeI
of course varying in each county. The
work has occupied altoge.-er about
three weeks, and at present is JUS
completed, with the exception of threG
! counties.
Thus each cohnty has, therefore, tht
complete cOntr bl, in its own precinct
of all transactions, without the ne
eessity Of an appeal to the State as {
central depository for. such certif

This does away with double registra

whose name We withhold by request
declares that this will save the Stat
