Very few of the hotels have electric lights

New Classif1catiOns.

The railroad commission held an inn
portant meeting in Tallahassee last week,
at which there were representatives from
all the leading towns operating wholly
or in part in this state. The matters un-
der consideration were the various freight
classifications, embracing in all about five
hundred articles. They were taken up,
one at time, and disposed of in regular
order, occupying the whole of the lengthy
day and night sessions until the whole
lot had been disposed of.
At the beginning of the session the
railroad people took the ground that the
commission had no right to make classifi-
cations, that their province was only TO
revise the specifications made by the
roads. The contention and other similar
ones being overruled, the merits of the
case were then taken up. The new class
ifcations are now practically completed,
and embrace about everything in the list
of necessaries of life, farm, garden, grove,
orchard and such products, and will
make considerable reductions in these
lines of freight
But for the length of the list, and the
necessity of publishing the old and the
new to enable a proper understanding,
they would be given here.
The Dade county vegetable growers
had meeting called for the 10Th, at Mi
ami, and had requested the commission
ers to be present. The commissioners
already had several matters, besides the
above, before them, and are quite busy.
Another meeting will be necessary at an
early date.

Investigating Rock For Roads.

We hear that Messrs. John Waller, G.
I. McCarty and j. o. Fries, who went to
Dade county few days ago to lnvesti-
gate the possibility of securing rock to be
used on the public roads of Brevard coun-
ty, have concluded to report favorably
upon the purchase of several acres of
rock land for the county near Little river,
provided special rate for transporting
the rock latter it is crushed) can be made
with the F. E. @. railway to points de-
sired in this county. The available sup
ply of shell having been exhausted, this
county has been forced to look up some
other material for making good roads,
and mari or lime rock seem to be the
only materials that are at hand. If the
mari can be worked to advantage it will
undoubtedly be cheaper than the rock
as the latter will have 10 be crushed and
then transported some two hundred
miles, while the mari can be had near to
the roads to be improved almost ali up
and down the river.

No Member-at-Large.

There appears to be no good reason
why the third member of congress that
has been assigned TO Florida under the
new apportionment act should be elected
for the state at large. Florida is perfect
ly susceptible of division into three com
pact districts-east, west and south, each
with at least one great seaport and each,
in measure, with distinct aims and in
terests. Nothing could be simpler or
more satisfactory than for the incoming
legislature to grant the electors of each of
these three great sections of the state the
right TO choose their own representative
in congress; nothing would be more con-
ductive to jealousy and discord than the
choice of the third member by the state
at large. The election Of United States
senators is seldom accomplished without
sharp sectional strife; no more would be
the nomination of a congressman at large.
Shall this representative come from South
Florida, or from West Florida, or from
East Florida? are questions which might
cause serious discoTd within the Demo
cratic party, and, by some possible future
combination of political circumstances,
lose to the party a representative alto
gether. By reapportioning the state into
three districts the legislature will be in
line with tie sacred doctrine of home
rule and will make no mistake.-Orlando

The StOckmen Benefited:

The following comparison is fairly con-
elusive as TO the value Of the Stockmen's
association Of Osceola county. Four years
ago at the fall term of the circuit court
the grand jury sat two weeks, investigat-
ed two dozen cattle cases, and found thir-
teen indictments for COW stealing. At
the present term the grand jury sat less
than three days, investigated only one
cattle case, and found no Indictment for
COW stealing. Four years ago it was not
safe TO invest money in cattle. Now il is
perfectly safe investment. -Four years
ago COW stealing cases cost the state thou
sands of dollars. Now the expense is
slight from this class of crime. Four
years ago there was well grounded be-
lief that d rich COW thief could not be
sent to the penitentiary. Now it is GEN
orally understood that money cannot
keep guilty man out Of the phosphate
mines. Four years ago the COW thieves
were organized in bulldozlng bands, and
the stockmen were disorganized. Now
the COW thieves are disOrganized and
cowed, and it is the stockmen who are
organized. Can the lesson of cooperation
be plainer?-Kissimmee Valley Gazette.

Arrival OF Nevins' Party.

Ex-Chief Thos. F. Nevins, formerly of
the Brooklyn fire department, but now a
prominent banker and broker, with a
large party of friends, including Mr..
Hugh Mclaughlin, the head of the Kings
county Democratic organization, which
is to the Long Island side of Greater New
York what Tammany Hall is to Manhat-
tan, passed through here Monday after
noon on their way to the Riverview, on
Merritts Island, which is the winter home
of Mr.. Nevins, where they all will spend
the balance of the season. In the party
are Mr.. and Mrs Mclaughlin, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas F. Nevins, Mr.. j. Quaid,
Miss s. Quaid, L. j. Nevins. Col. Thomas
Kerrigan and the Misses Kerrigan and
Mr.. Robert Furey. Colonel Kerrigan has
for many years been the auctioneer for
the sheriff of Kings county, and Mr..
Robert Furey, according to Mr.. Nc
Laughlin, sis one of the biggest con-
tractors in the United States" The
above party is bent on pleasure and are
bound to have it if it taxes all the season,
for, as Mr.. Mclaughlin puts it, "people
that go to see Mr.. Nevins never leave un-
til the season is over"

Automobile Line.

While in town Thursday of last week
Mr.. Frank Bond, of DeLand, told THE
STAR man about his trial trip in an auto
mobile between Daytona and DeLand,
which he made in company with Mr.. T.
L. Rodgers and the. promoter of the pro-
posed line, in two hours and ten minutes.
The trip was made for the purpose of in
specting the road and ascertaining neces-
sary Improvements to make it suitable
for automobiles, which will make regular
trips between these two places.
The company proposes TO operate regu-
lar schedules between Daytona, Sea-
breeze, Ormond, Port Orange, Mosquito
Inlet and DeI.and.
The automobile cars are large and
roomy, of handsome design and very
comfortable, and will no doubt do an i'm
mense business during both winter and
summer.

Florida Produce Thrown Away.

The Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower
asserts from 10000 to 10000 packages
Of Florida produce, valned at $40. 900, are
thrown away in New York city every
year. This deplorable result is brought
about partly by indifferent sorting and
packing of indifferent produce, bnt chief
ly by indiscriminate shipping to one cen
ter, producing congestion and diseased
market These facts, says the Farmer,
illuminate with calcinm hight the neces-
sity Of organization among the growers
OF Florida 10 regulate the distribution, as
the pineapple growers have done from
the beginning. The Farmer suggests as
a.partial remedy that more Florida pro-
duee be shipped to markets in the south,
where the awakening prosperity has
created demand for and the means to
purchase more luxuries.
