The New Orleans PGayune of Fri
day has the following to say with ref
erence to the Paquet-Swayne contempt
case: The United States Circuit Court
of Appeals having granted the relief
prayed for, the matter will be cause
celebre." as ii involves important
principles, that is. whether a federal
judge can exercise any authority over
a lawyer, which will prevent him from
filing a suit against him in a state
court, and thereby destroy his indie
pendence by firing him or imDrisoning
him for contempt for doing his sworn
duty to his client. The writ of pro-
hibition granted by the court is made
returnable before the United. States
Circuit Court of Appeals here on Mon
day, Jan. 10, at IL o'clock a. m, when
Judge Swayne is ordered to show cause
why the rule nsi granted should not
be made perpetual. The legal freter-
nitv here and in Pensacola is much
interested in the outcome Of the case.

A load of buckshot suddenly put an
end to the life of Will Jackson, a ne
gro, at Tampa Sunday, when ne least
expected it. Friends of jackson say
that he had an engagement to meet
some colored girl on Scott street, be-
tween Central and Nebraska avenues.
The friends did not know who the girl
was or where she lived, but had heard
Jackson intimate that he had an en-
gagement of the kind. While walking
along the street a door was opened and
A shot fired. A double barrel gun was
in the hands of the man who did the
shooting, and he had it loaded with
buckshot. He apparently said nothing.
but shot, and jackson fell dead. When
the officers arrived at the scene the
house nearby was dark and there was
no one about, and while there may be
a slight suspicion on the matter, yet
there is nothing definite upon which to
base charge just at the present time.

Keen dupignon at the Head.

Discussing of the organization of the
next Democratic state convention the
Newman Herald and Advertiser says:
We assume that these aspiring gen
tlemen are proceeding upon the idea
that Hon. Elem. duBignon will not
submit himself for further considera>
ton in connection with the chairman
ship. and this may be true-but,
whether it suits Mr.. duBignon's in
clination to serve his party as its ex-
ecutive head for another term or not.
in consideration of his distinguished
services in the past and his high stand
ing in the councils of his party at all
times. the Herald and Advertiser be-
lieves that he should be put forward
again when the convention meets and
given the craftsmanship as volun-
tary ovation to one of the truest and
staunchest Democrats that Georgia has
ever known, and a leader whose in
trepidity and courage never faltered
in time of party peril. 1t would be
a graceful thing TO do, and, however
Indifferent Mr.. duBignon may be to
further distinction of an honorary
character, II rendered in this manner
we believe he would accept the chair
manship as an unusual mark of party
appreciation, and appreciate it accord
ingly.

CAUGHT i MARINE MONSTER.

Jacksonville Times Union and Citi-
zen: Capt Ed Thompson, who was
fishing at Mayport yesterday, got hold
of an extraordinary monster of the sea,
which will be placed on exhibition in
this city this morning. Capt. Thomp-
son was fishing for shad, but the fish
that he caught was more like a whale
The fish weighs in the neighborhood
of $50 pounds or more. 1t is nine feet
in length. In appearance it might re-
semble a shark, except that ii is per-
fectly smooth skinned, which sharks
are not. The capture of the monster
was a most exciting experience, though
Capt. Thompson hardly cares to have
1t repeated. as he was occupied for
three hours trying to land the fish,
and he lost much of his fishing APP
paratus in doing it. Capt. Thompson
was formerly employed on the jetty
work, but has lately taken to being a
shad fisherman. A linen net is used
in catching these fish, and it was with
this that the big unknown fish was
landed. There were two men in the
boat. a skiff, together with Capt.
Thompson. One of these was Swede.
The Swede had hold of the line when
he felt a great weight Juggling at the
other end of it. The three on board
they found that they had got A '"whop-
per" indeed. No matter how hard they
pulled, they could not land the big
fish, and they concluded that the best
thing to do was to tow it ashore In
manipulating the lead line the Swede S
hand caught in some way and was
painfully hurt by the cord. Three hours
were consumed in getting to shore and
the fish i'm the net splashed the water
up in great streams. The fish, when
examined on shore. had rows of both
upper and lower. teeth. None of the
fishermen in the vicinity had ever seen
such specimen, and are greatly puz-
zled at its appearance. Mr.. Rogers
resident of Mayport., who is well up on
such matters. could not name the fish.
and in order to see II there are any
in Jacksonville that can do so. the
fish will be brought here this morning
on the tug Agnes X

mer who has wound up last years cot
ton crop and is ready to start in upon
another. They came in numbers and
the purchase of mules and farming
utensils led an onlooker to believe that
the farmer meant business. And that
II year Of prosperity would be ours, If
he could bring it. Comparatively few
of our farmers will have to buy corn
or meat. but new plows, a wagon, per-
haps, and other purchases had TO be
made. of course there are some who
will have TO depend upon the supply
merchant through the spring and sum-
mer, but they are few in comparison
And these will probably pay II cents
for the meat that might have been
raised at home. and 81. % bushel for
corn. Not few of the farmers of Sum
ter upon the other hand, are selling
lfomera meat and corn to mer-
chants here, having more than they
need.

A PLAIN TALK
On Plain Subject, in Plain Lang
A cold is the starting point of more
Than half of the fatal illness from NO
Vember to May A cold is the first
chapter in the history of every case of
CohSuihpiioH' y colu 10 IHe lrSI stage
of chronic catarrh, the most loathsorne
and stubborn of diseases. A cold is the
legitimate parent of a large family of
diseases, such as bronchitis, pleurisy,
pneumonia and quinsy. To neglect
cold is almost suicide. TO fail to pro-
vide against this well-nigh inevitable
evil is dangerous negligence.
Peruna is a safeguard as a preven-
tive, a specific as a cure for all cases
of catarrh, acute and chronic, coughs,
colds, consumption, etc, etc.

valuable advice gratis.

THE EVERGLADES SCHEME.

Miami Metropolis; The recent under
writing by Western capitalists of the
capital stock of the Florida East Coast
Drainage and Sugar Company, is one
of the biggest things which has, ever
taken place in Florida and will mean
more for Dade county than fig
ures can at present foretell. The sue
cess of this great scheme is largely if
not entirely due to the untiring and
persistent efforts of our present state
chemist. r. e. Rose, who for the last
three years has given much of his
time and efforts to the perfection of
the scheme. The scheme is to sell the
stock, accompanying each share of the
par value of one hundred dollars with
land warrant for forty dollars, good
for lands of the company at an aver
age price of ten dollars per acre This
Will make an exceedingly attractive
investment. not only for capitalists but
for farmers and growers, and means
not only that an immense amount of
capital, but better still that thousands
of new settlers will be the result.
