ent to give direction to the meeting,

Hampton to Palatka, and conductors
are authorized to sell tickets from
lon-ticket stations. These rates to
apply only on train No. going to Pa
atka and on train No. leaving Pa

extremely low rate should be the
means of inducing a general attend

Removal of Remains,

Mr.. E. w. Clark of San Mateo has
this week disinterred the bodies OF
Mrs. Juliana Chandler and Nathan
B. White from the cemetery at San
Mateo, and shipped them to the
north, the former to Brooklyn, n.
Y, and the latter to st. Louis, Mo.
The order for their disinterment
came from no less a person than
Deacon S. V. White, the celebrat-
ed Wall street banker and broker.
Mrs. Chandler was the mother of
Mrs. S. V. White, and N. b. White
was the "deacOn'sn brother.
Mrs. Chandler died at San Mateo
June IL, 1888, aged So years, She
was lady well known and highly
esteemed in that community.
Nathan B. White settled at San
Mateo in the early 70's and was the
founder of the once celebrated Roll
ston grove and Whites wharf. He
was man generally known and re-.
spected for many charitable acts.
He died at San Mateo in February,
1887. ....
The reason given by Deacon"
White of New York for having the
bodies removed is that the San Ma
teo cemetery is being neglected.
Mr.. Clark states that among those
who assisted him in taking up the
were two men who assisted

New Police Judge,

Under the new city charter which
will go into effect with the new adj
ministration to be elected next month
the mayor will no longer be the mu-
nicipal magistrate with power to dis
pose ofdrunks and disorderlies. That
work will fall to the lot of a new
police court judge, who will hold the
position by virtue of appointment of
the common council. The position
will not be a big thing in so far as
the salary of the place is concerned,
as the pay will be but 5000 per annum.
Its principal value to the incumbent
will be the title of Judge" by which
he will be known. There are three
candidates for the place, so far as the
News has heard, and they are E. E.
Haskell and E. Noble Calhoun, at
torneys, and Justice of the Peace, C.
|. Rowton. The man who gets the
majority vote in the council will pull
the plum.

Opening of Base Ball Season.

The base ball season in Palatka
will be opened at the base ball park
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, when
the Longs" and "Shorts" will in
dulge in their first farce comedy
game of the season. To some of the
players it may be their last game,
though the News trusts that none OF
them may be killed outright much as
they may appear to deserve death.
Chief Hagan is out with subscrip-
ton paper raising fund to equip
the regular Palatka team for its sea
sons work. 1t is to be hoped all
who can will contribute literally to
the fund, so that Palatka can close
the season with honor as the first
club i'll Florida. In the present
state of a depraved public sentiment
a champion ball team is glory enough
for a city, while a "bum" team is an
abomination to any people. Palatka
has the material from which to con-
struct a champion team. All the
boys need is substantial encour-
agement-they will do the rest.
