The Jail is Well Filled.

There are 81 prisoners in the coun.
ty Jail ut the present time awaiting
trial at the next term of the circuit
court.
This means that the county is pill
ing up a pretty bill for the board Of
II lot of worthless vagabonds.
To feed 81 prisoners costs $l4.80 a
day, or $444.00 per month.
The large part of these prisoners
are up for simple otfehses which, had
we a county criminal court, could be
disposed of promptly, and thus save
a big monthly board bill to the coun-
ty, and not only this but the fines
administered would probably take
care of the expense of the court.
AS it is the prisoners will probably
accumulate until November, and the
board bill will grow more and more
burdensome to the county.
But Putnam county is not in finan-
cial shape to pay 800 a month for
feeding prisoners.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.
VIM. p. Wright Expires in an
Hour After Operation for
ADDendicitiS,


Mr.. William P. Wright, the we'll
known pioneer settler of Mt. Royal
and Drayton Island, this county,
died Tuesday noon in the st. Angus
tine hospital, and the announcement,
telegraphed to this city Immediately
thereafter, caused wide spread regret
and sorrow. Mr.. Wright had been
feeling poorly for epast two weeks,
but to his most intimate friends he
uttered no complaint until last Sat
urdav night. Sunday morning a
physician was called and the patient
was made easier for that day, but
got worse on Monday. He had been
operated upon in Boston last No
vember for structure of the intestines,
and his trouble this time was dag
nosed as a return or complication of
that ailment. Tuesday morning he
was taken to the hospital in ST..
Augustine, where at noon an opera
ton was performed. His condition
was found to be more serious than
the physicians thought, and it was
seen that he could not have recover
ed. He died within an hour after
the operation.
Mr.. Henry Strunz who went with
him to st. Augustine, and who was
present during the operation, brought
the body to this city Tuesday even
ing, and Immediately telegraphed
the relatives regarding their wishes
as to the interment.
William p. Wright in company
with Edwin Kirby came to Putnam
county in the spring of 1859 and they
together purchased property at Mt.
Royal, just beyond Fruitland, on the
St. Johns river. Mr.. Wright after
wards purchased tract of land on
Drayton Island, which latter he has
continued to cultivate, though he
has been here but little since the
freeze. He came here last March,
and since that time has resided in
Palatka with Mr.. Strunz, making
occasional trips to his Drayton Is
land grove.
Deceased grew to manhood in Au-
burn, N. Y, and at the breaking out
of the civil war joined the lst Bat
terry of N. Y. Light Artillery, of
which he was made 1st lieutenant.
This battery was attached to the 9Th
Army Corps. At the battle of Get
tysburg Mr.. Wright's battery was
stationed just to the left of the we'll
known clump of trees which was the
mark for Pickett's division to attack,
and when the attack reached its
height, Mr.. Wright was shot in the
right lung, the bullet passing entire
ly through him. He was discharged
from service in January 1854.
Mr.. Wright leaves two daughters,
one living in Boston and one in New
York. His wife died some three
years ago. He was a brother OF
Frank Wright, former county
clerk.
He was a quiet, refined gentleman,
universally esteemed by those who
came to known him, and his death
is distinct loss to the social life of
Palatka.
The funeral will probably take
place at the residence of Henry
Strunz, Esq, this afternoon. DR.. A.
K. Stone, son-in-law, from Boston
is expected to arrive at 8 p. IN. and it
will not be known until after his ar
rival whether the interment will
take place here, or the remains taken

Improvements at Wilson's Mill

The big mills of the Wilson Cyp-
ress Company in this city have just
been fitted up with six new and i'm
mense boilers of 100 horse power
each, and one "Heavy Slide Valve"
engine of 40 horse power. A new
smoke stack has also been put in
place which is 70 inches in diameter
and l12 feet high. The boilers are 66
inches in diameter and is feet long.
The new equipment will increase the
capacity of the mill from the fact
that there will be no difficulty in
keeping up the required amount of
steam.
The Wilson Cypress Company's
mill has a daily capacity of 3d.
900 feet of lumber and $1,000 shingles.

She was accompanied by her sister,
Miss Lucy Couver, who has been on
a visit in Georgia for the past few
weeks.
Geo. N. Bardin, of Green Cove

distinguished visitor to Palatka Sun
day. The genial judge has many
friends here who are always glad to
see him.
P. G. O'Haver, of Keuka, was in

Mr.. O'Haver was here for the pur-
pose of taking the examination for

was held last Friday before Supt,
Cottingham.
d. E. Dusenberry, the well-known
merchant of Como has received no
tice Of the death of his mother, at
Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Mr.. Dusenberry
had just arrived home from visit
to his mother, whom, it seems, died
the day after he left.
Chief of Police P. M. Hagan has
been busy the past two weeks mott
flying residents to keep the sidewalks
in front of their property free of
grass and weeds. This is a splendid
idea, but-would it not be a good
thing for the city to start an extra
street force to help the good work
along?
B. Browning, of Francis, passed
through town last Saturday morn
ing en- route to Daytona, where he
will spend a few days before his de-
parture for Marion county, whittier
he goes to take charge of school

throuthout Putnam county wish him
much success.
Herbert G. Brannon has been on a
visit to his old home in Wheeling,

non of this city, and enjoys warm
friendship here. Since the occupan-
CIV of Cuba, in 1896, by the United
States he has been an attache of the
custom service, and has proved a
valuable and efficient official. Mr..
Brannon is now stationed at San
Juan, Cuba.
The Gem City Guards held meet
ing at the ArmOry Tuesday night.
There is great interest being mani
tested in matters military in view of
the approaching inspection of the
company by the Acknowledgement of
the state troops. All the men,
bers know what an enjoyable time
WIS had at the last inspection and
are looking forward to this one with
anticipations of the greatest pleas
ure. 1t is probable that the inspec-
ton will be followed by a supper,
and of course, there'll be dancing.
The postponed ice cream supper OF
the Little Jewels was held in the
store room, on Lemon street, recent
ly used by Mr.. Larive and on the
court house green last Friday even
ing. The band turned out and fur
nished music for the occasion, and
this proved an enjoyable adjunct to
the pleasures of the evening. The
young people thoroughly enjoyed
themselves eating cream and play
ing games of many kinds. While
the receipts of the evening were not
enough to add materially to the fund
of the organization, the pleasure de-
rived made up in great measure fol
the deficiency.
