HE TURNS THE TRICK.

They have a breezy way of handling
society news in Florida-a method that
gives entertaining results to say the
least of it. The last issue Of the Or
lando Record contained the following
from its Sanford correspondent:
u. Fred Turner, Jr.. and Luella .
Merrill of Massina, Fla. were married
Thursday afternoon last, which were
evidently intended for a secret we'd
ding" but must have been too good
to keep. The wedding took place in
DR.. Newman's dental parlors in the
presence of Drs. Newman and Dick
ems, Pastor d. j. Blocker of the Bap-
fist Church officiating. The bride re .
turned to her home at Messina, Thurs
day evening, Mr.. Turner remaining in
town. The bride is a daughter of the
travelling passenger agent of the Bur-
lington Route, with headquarters in
Atlanta. She was accompanied to
Sanford by Miss Clara Cooper, who.
from all likelihood, will soon be one
of us, provided Euddie's Allen is sue
cessful to Tole'er. 1t is rumored that
there was young lady here to whom
the groom was said to be engaged for
a number of years, but recently she
sat down" on him. 1t is also said that
she seems to take the result rather
hard. would add in some way in con-
nection with this: Be still, sad heart,
and cease repining: there is still an
other Turner shining. Fred has a
younger brother"
One scarcely realizes how fiat. stale
and Improbable" the society page Of
the average newspaper is until he
comes across an item like this. Metro
politan Journalism has still a lot TO
learn, and the sooner IL realizes the
fact and gets about supplying its pat
ent deficiencies the better it will be
for its readers.

BRIDGE KEEPER KILLED.

Quitman Free Press: Mr.. Jacob
Hardin, the bridge keeper at the With
lacoochee river, near Ousley station
was crushed to death by an east-bound
freight train Saturday morning a little
after o'clock. Hardin's body was ly-
ing upon the track as the train APP
preached and was crushed in two be-
fore the engine could be stopped.
Whether he was dead or only in an I'M
conscious condition will probably never
be known. The body was warm, but
life was extinct when the conductor of
the train reached it three minutes af-
ter the accident happened.

THE DEADLY MOCCAsIN.

Augusta Herald: News reached the
city yesterday afternoon OF the death
of Mr.. Ranse Reaves, of Harlem, which
occurred yesterday morning at his
home from snake bite. On Wednesday
last Mr.. Reeves was up to his knees
in water seining in Briar creek and had
his trousers rolled up high. While
busily engaged in casting his net, he
felt sharp pain dart through his leg,
and looking down found a water moe
casin coiled tightly around the leg. Be-
fore it could be removed 1t again struck
him. inllicting two wounds in the calf
of the leg.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships
and Shipping.

The schooners Jennie Thomas, Sedg-
wick and Annie T. Bailey were among
the arrivals yesterday. They will load
lumber for the North after discharging
their cargoes. Other sailing vessels are
expected daily, so that the next ten
days is likely to largely increase the
fleet in port. Lumber tonnage was in
demand a few weeks ago. and while
considerable chartering has been done,
it is understood vessels are still want
ed TO carry the yellow pine North.
While freights have been a shade firm
er, they have not shown any very ma
terial advance as a result of the in
creased demand for them.

NEWS Or THE TWO STATES TOLD
IN PARAGRAPHS.

One month ago it was impossible for
either farmers, mill men or turpentine
men to get hands at any price, and yet
the city was filled with lettering ne
groes. The Cordele Daily News took
up the matter, and soon the city police
arrested every negro found without a
job, and his honor, Mayor Cults, inn
posed a fine of $40 or thirty days at
hard work on the streets of the city. A
great crusade has been made. and to-
day everybody can get all the hands
they need.

JACKsoNvILLE's RESTORATION.

Metropolis: Since the fire of May 8,
there have been five hundred and TWEEN
ty-five permits issued for permanent
structures. Many of these permits are
for two or more houses. which, taken
together, place the number of buildings
at seven hundred and fifteen which
have been and are being constructed
The above does not include one hum
dred and sixty shacks which were
erected Immediately after the fire
These shacks are only temporary and
according to agreement must be re-
moved Dec. 1. 1t is now thought. how
ever, that there will not be enough
buildings completed by that time to
have these shacks removed, as the ten
ants must have some kind of a place
to do business in, and permission win
probably be given by the Council to
allow several of them to remain until
Feb. /. 1t is thought by this time that
all of them can be torn down. They
are in most cases very unsightly, and
citizens who have property adjoining
them are anxious to have them re-
moved at once.

BROUGHT BACK THE PosroFFrcE

Quitman Free Press: The disappear
ance Of the postoffice at Bond. Fla,
has been accounted for. Mr. Bond is
postmaster and owner of the building
in which the Office is located These
premises had been rented to Mr..
Ragland. who was acting postmaster.
Mr.. Bond wanted to sell the place and
asked Ragland to vacate. which he
declined TO do. This seemed to incense
Bond and he loaded the Office fixtures
and all the mail on a wagon and haul
ed 1t away to near Asheville, in an
other county, twelve miles away. In
day or two he seemed to realize that
he might get into trouble with the pos
tai authorities, and Monday night
about IL o'clock, weary and jaded, he
drove up to Bond with the postoffice.
He called Mr.. Ragland up and told
him, here's your old postoffice," when
Ragland politely told him to go TO
HI with it," and turned over in bed
and resumed his snore. Next morning
young lady who is on Bonds bond
prevailed on Ragland to resume pos
session of the postoffice.

THE REAL "LADY FROM PHILADELPHIA.

Any one who has read the inimitable
"Peterkin Papers" remembers the
Lady from Philadelphia. She it is
to whom the Peterkins turned when
they didn't know what to do or how t o
do it. Comparatively few persons,
however, knew that the lady really
lived, that her name was Gillespie and
that her great grandfather was Benja-
min Franklin. These facts, which
with many others equally interesting,
were brought out on the occasion of
her death in Philadelphia the morning
of October 10, lent additional interest
to a new department just begun in the
Ladies Home Journal called 1.-The
lady from Philadelphia. The iden-
tity of the person who conducts this
department is withheld. All that is
vouchsafed is that the new Lady" is
an authority on all questions pertain
ing to etiquette, manners and good
form and each month in the Journal
she will answer such questions regard
ing these points as may be sent in by
young women.

A DUEL AND A JOKE.
Count BOni de Castellane's First Ar-
fair Upon the Field of Honor.

Count Boni de CaStellane's first duel
was when he had just come from school.
Lad as he was, he could ride, shoot and
handle a sword, but he was still very
young, very SaShful, rather green. At
the club to which he had just been ad-
mitted some of the men, whom life
made cynical, began to guy him. 1t
was easy to stir up his anger for they
chartered scandal about a woman he
knew. He pulled over the table and
struck one of the men. The next day
he received q challenge. In good faith
he selected two good clubmen as his
seconds. In all this the club fellows
saw only a joke, and when the ar
rangUments were hurried and the two
opponents stood face to face in a mead
Ow near the Seine the pistols were
lOaded-with blackened bread crumbs.

gether. The clubman gave great cry
and fell to the ground grOaning.
He's fatally wOunded-dying" the
seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh.

De Castellane felt the heart in hin
run away like water He had killed 8
man. 1t was not possible!
"Dead?" he asked anXiously.

grinning.
The schoolboy looked at the laughing
clubmen and saw the joke they haC
played on him. He stopped and caugh
the corpse by the ankle, dragged it
bit and with a sudden jerk tossed i
ten feet into the river.
"Then I'll bury it," said he.
AS the clubman crawled from tn
river dripping mud and water, they dc

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Observation-Disclosures,

had been practicing law in the town
of Lancaster for about four years when
James Higgins, merchant, was MUIR
dered. According to the testimony of
his wife, they were aroused at mid
night by a noise down stairs, and he
went down to investigate. She heard
angry words, followed by a shot, and,
giving an alarm, it was found that the
husband had been shot through the
heart. 1t was noted that nothing in the
house had been taken and no prepara-
ton made for robbery. a window
which had been left unfastened offered
the means of ingress, and the shooting
had taken place in the sitting room.
Mrs. Higgins was sure that there had
been a sort of dispute before the fatal
shot was fired. She was sure of her
husbands voice; but, as to the other,
she was undecided as to whether it
was a mans or a wOmanS. The de-
tectives proceeded on the theory that
a man had effected entrance with in
tent to plunder. He had no sooner got
into the house than he was confronted
by Higgins. who, though unarmed, was
a strong man. He had probably called
upon the burglar to surrender and per-
haps laid hands on him and had been
killed that capture might be avoided.
The first suspect arrested was the
hostler at the barns of one of the ho-
tells. He had been seen on the street
