DIED.

On Thursday, March %. 1901. Rich
ard L. Bennett, president of the Talia-
hassee, Southeastern Railroad Com
pany, at his home in the northern sub
urb OF this city Mr. Bennett has been
a resident of our city fer about twelve
years, having come here from Phlla-
Gelphia in the interestOf a water works
corporation of that city, and obtained
from our city council a charter for the
construction of our present system of
waterwOcks. He Immediately pushed
the system to a quick completion, and
thus gave to Tallahassee what it so
much needed and had been for long
time vainly striving to obtain, viz: an
ample supply Of water and an efficient
protection against fire. For that one
thing Tallahassee owes Mr.. Bennet a
debt of gratitude that will be readily
conceded by all who remember our
helplessness in the past whenever a
fire occurred.
Mr.. Bennett afterwards built q street
railway from the depot of the SeabOard
Air Line through the principal streets
of the city, which while great con-
Venience to all, did mot receive sufIf-
cient patronage to warrant its cOntin-
ued operation He ;then commenced
grading n line of railroad between An
a lachicola and Carrabelle, which, had
it been completed would have proved a
great boon to .ApalachicOla, but lack
Of capital and the great cost of bridg-
ing the ApaIachicoIa river compelled
him to relinquish the scheme. The next
great public work 10 attract the at
tention of this wOndefully energetic
man was the Tallahassee and Gaines
vile Railroad, now known as the Tai
Iahassee and Southeastern. Mr.. Bennet
bought Out the rights of the Mclean
creditors and built the road as far as
Thomas City, thirty miles southeast
Of Tallahassee, and graded some dis
tance beyond the Aucilla. When com
pleted the road will be one of the most
important trunk lines of Our State, and
in fact, in the South, as it will be or
the most direct line from Tampa and
Cuba and the great Northwest Its
Importance to this city can not be esti-
mated. At the time of his death Mr..
Bennett was actively engaged in push
ing the grading towards Perry, in Tay-
lOr county. Although a great sufferer
for years, in fact through all his life,
Mr.. Bennett has undertaken and carried
forward public works that would have
taxed the physical ability Of the
strongest and most robust men His
Willpower and courage has surprised
his many friends and acquaintances
here, and while his death has been to
a certain extent expected at any time,
so precariOus was his health, yet it
came on that Thursday morning of
March % as distinct surprise and
great shock to the whole community,
and called forth many expressions OF
regret and sorrow from among our
citizens.
Mr.. Bennett was buried in the city
cemetery, the Rev. DR.. Carter, pastor
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
reading the impressive and beautiful
burial services of that church over the
remains. A fond and devoted wife and
two little daughters are left to sorrow
for loving husband and father. They

THE GUARDS NEWS CAPTAIN.
The Governors Guards were assem-
bled last night for the purpose of elect
ing Il new captain, made necessary by
the resignation of Capt 2. a. Dickey.
The unanimous choice of the COM
pany was Mr.. George Edward Lewis,
one of our most popular young men
and a recent graduate of the Virginia
Military Institute. After the election
the Guards marched down to Captain
Lewis's residence and notified him of
his election. In a few appropriate
words he thanked the company for the
compliment they had just paid him.
The company gave their new captain
three cheers and marching back to
their armOry were dismissed
In selecting Captain Lewis the
Guards have made a very happy choice,
as, the military experience and knOwl-
edge that he gained at the Institute
will be Of great benefit to them.

Eric, with groan, "and am as help

broke down and actually cried. He felt
that his reign was over.
Andrew looked gravely at Stuart.
The short winter day was fast drawing
to an end. Stuart still stosd there,
thoughtfully looking at the bowed
form of Eric.
There Is one man who still has
great influence over all the miners in
Champion and De Mott" said Andrew
gently.
Stuart started. Over at the other
end of the hall he could see Rhena.
She had Just left her task and was
coming toward him. Life was very
sweet tc him now. Why should he
risk 1t in possible-yes, probable
danger by going over to the scene Of
this new difficulty? Was he his broth
er's keeper.
THAT one man Is yourself" contin-
ued Andrew.
You think | ought to go?" asked
Stuart calmly.
Il cannot answer for you" Andrew
made reply slowly.
What are you talking about?" asked
Rhela as she came up.
"Rhena." said Stuart, 'it may be nee
cssary for me to go to De Mott to-
night. 1t looks now as IL the strike
had reached n crisis, and before morn
ing something will probably occur to
change the situation that has held all
winter"
Rhena looked steadily at the three
men.
"You are keeping back something"
she said at last
"Yes" exclaimed Eric, lifting his
head. "The men at De Mott are going
to pull up the Queen mine pumps. I've
lost my influence over them. II Stuart
goes over there to prevent the men, he
will risk his life. know the men
when they are drunk are devils. They
would kill any one, even Christ him
self, II he went over there tonight
Don't let him 60. Miss Dwight. It's al
most sure death. He will only lose his
life and do no good by It,"
Rhena did not say word. Stuart
looked over at Andrew as II half hop
Ing he would second Eric's request.
But Andrew was silent. Then he turn
ed toward Rhena again. He had never
loved her SO much as at that moment.
"Rhena." he said in low tone, IL
feel rs II ought to 60 over to De Mott
am sure Eric exaggerates the danger
II am the only man with enough in
fluence to prevent an outbreak. am In
duty bound to exert it."
"No: don't go!' cried Rhena, and
then she stopped. She had taken one
step toward Stuart. He was not look
ing at her, but seemed to be hesitating
for something.
She spoke again. II would not have
you a coward to please me. II you
must co.
Il must" replied Stuart. "God bless
and keep you" He leaned over and
kissed her, and without another word
to either Andrew or Eric he stepped to
the door and threw it open.
"I'll send over to the hotel barn for
horse" cried Andrew. Just at that
moment Or. Saxon drove up.
"He is just In time" said Stuart
calmly. as If he had been expecting
him.
He told the doctor in few words
that he must go to De Mott at once.
The doctor understood.
Get in, then! This means more gun
shot wound practice for me maybe"
He whispered to Rhena. who had come
