The second clock golf contest at

The scene was very charming one.

cent, are now dressed in their spring

Will Bore for Oil.

The belief Of the existence of oil in
this section of Florida continues to
have a strong hold on those who have
given the matter investigation.
So strong is this belief that by ref
erence to our advertising columns it
will be seen that two companies have
been organized for the purpose of sink
ing wells, and we will soon know
whether.O not the hopes of these gen.
tlemen will be realized.
The parties who are backing these
enterprises control large capital and
means business.
They have secured options on many
hundred acres of land, and if they
succeed in striking ''gusher" they
will find themselves as rich as Monte
Christie.

Hold Up at the seabosrd Air Line

AS Mr.. Henry A. McConn, the night
Waterman, was inspecting the ears
on the tracks at the station of the
SeabOard Air Line Tuesday night
i'm this city, he was told by a negro
man emerging from between two box
ears to "hands up" and upon his re-
fusing to do so, began firing at him
with pistol. By this time McConn
got his gun and returned the fire.
McCOnn had narrow escape as one
bullet passed through his clothing and
came very near striking him in the
abdomen.
1t is said gang of colOred hobOs in-
fest the yards of the SeabOard Air
Line station, and this is the second
attempt made on the life Of the watch
atan.
Plundering the freight ears is sup
posed to be their object.

weeticv Of the CITY Council.

The regular semi-mOnthly meeting
Of the City Council convened at the
council chamber Tuesday night.
All the members present except
Councilman T. ]. Owen.
Several matters of interest To the
city were discussed.
One was a proposition To buy new
lot and new plant for electric lighting.
IL is held that the present machin-
cry is badly worn; that the plant is
too small for present purposes and
that the lot is too low.
A new and larger plant is needed.
The purchase of the water works
was informally discussed, but no def
mite action taken.
The sink at the market was referred
TO the market committee for eXami-
nation.
The impounding of cattle and hogs
engaged some attention, but the mat
fer went over without any formal ac-
ton except q motion to officials to en-
force present ordinances.

other routine business, the body ad-
journed.

Just Returned from Porto Rico.

A representative of this paper had
the pleasure of meeting Mr.. A. J.
Wyche, of MicanOpy, at the MOntezu-
ma hotel yesterday. Mr.. Wyche has
just returned from an extended trip
through Porto Rico. He says that
while over there he met good many
men from the States who go there
with the expectation of finding it
new country and thinly populated
and are surprised to find that while
not much larger than Marion county
it contains a population of over
million people, aud is as old as any of
the original colonies of the United
Statef, and not more than half the
land is arabic. The country is exceed
ingly mountainous and the soil is stiff
clay, but generally fertile.
The orange trees are not thrifty
10 Dking, but he says the coffee is the
best in the world and it, together with
sugar cane, is the most profitable crop
of the island. On the whole, Mr..
Wyche was not very favOrably inn
pres 3ed with the island nor its in
habitants.

General Order No. SO.
With profound sorrow the major
general commanding the Florida Di-

announces the death of Lieut.. Gen.
Wade Hampton, at his home in CO.
lumbia, 5. c., on Friday, April ii, at
9 O'Clock a. m., in the S4th year of his
age.
The record of every crisis in Amer

Wade Hampton. Each succeeding
generation freely offered life and all 1t
possessed, save honor, on the altar of
patriotism.
The veterans of this vision, many
of whom served under this knightly
commander, mourn with their COM
des of South Car, lima and of the
whole South at the tomb of their de-
parted herO-comrade. A statesman,
soldier, friend, full of years, with
honor unsullied by single act of in
justice, uukindness or evil, he has
joined the spirit legiOns in flames
eternal camping ground, where he,
with the innumerable hosts of the
blessed await to welcome their COM
rades as They cross over the the river
to rest with those who have gone be-
fore.

DUVhL COUNTY IN HARD LUCK.
The Rules Adopted by the Democratic
State Executive Committee Will
Deprive a Large Number
From Voting.

The rules covering the primary
elections, adopted by the democratic
executive committee at the meeting
in jacksonville last Tuesday, are more
rigid than it was thought would be
insisted upon, and under same II Is
discovered that they will deprive more
than majority of the democrats OF
Duval from participating in the DEM
ocratic primaries.
The following interview with eX-
Mayor J. f. 7. Bowden by Metropo'
lis reporter, will explain the political
situation in Duval county:
J.E. f. Bowden, candidate for the
state senate, was one of the worst sur
prised men in the country last night
when he learned that the call of the
democratic state executive committee
prevented him from submitting his
claims to the primary, on account OF
his independent candidacy two years
ago. Mr.. BOwden was seen this morn
ing, surrounded by a number of his
friends, and when approached by a
Metropolis reporter in regard to his
probable future action, he said:
al am too much surprised to give
you any positive declaration as to
what | will do. will say, however,
that shall ask the state committee
to reconsider their action. i shall en-
deavor TO show them why they have
made mistake. If they decline, then
| Lazy take some other action.
II have been a democrat all my life,
supporting all the nominees Of my
PARTY, both national and state. Two
years ago my true democracy led me
into a peoples movement, which had
in view a change of the present un-
democratic city government, which
takes from the people the right Of self
government. II was my democracy
that caused me to oppose the present
system, and in my race | was sup
ported by majority Of the true dem
Ocrats of the county. This fact | do
not DelltNe my pOllIIChI OppObCHlS
will deny. According to the call for
primaries, not one of these men who
supported me can participate.
at is an established fact that q ma
jOrity of democrats supported Harry
Hartley for clerk of the criminal court.
The call thus shows that a majority
Of the democrats can't vote in the
primary. | have had scores of friends
today to pledge me their loyal support
if run anyhow, but believe it wiser
to bring the matter before the state
committee first. | believe if the MEM
bers adhere to their action il will
prove boomerang to 9th Telfair and
Tom Stockton. | do not want to make
any mistake, and in few days will
tell the public of my plans"
1t is believed that under the opera
ton of the rules a number Of demo-
Gratis in this county will also be de-
prived from participating in the pri-
maries or running for office, and this,
of course, will apply alike to all of the
counties in the state.

committee from Marion county, IA
vOred the adoption of less rigid rules.

NEW YORK VISITED BY
DISASTROUS FLOODS.
THE DAMAGE is IMMENSE.
Dams Were Washed Away, Reservoirs

fore the Raging Waters.

Buffalo, N. Y, July IA terrific
wind and rain storm swept over West
ern New York early yesterday. Rivers
and creeks rose rapidly, overlooking
their banks and sweeping away houses
and barns and livestock. The loss will
reach into the hundreds of thousands.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
down and communication with small
towns in Wyoming, Niagara and Gaia.
rugus counties is difficult to establish.
This city was not in the path of the
storm.
A dispatch from Arcade says the
flood at that point claimed one victim
and did damage to the extent of $780,
600. Minnie Lopez, who kept bakery
on the bank of the creek, was drowned.
The downpour and the cloudburst
above the village turned the creek into
torrent. The water rose rapidly and
was several feet deep on the lowlands
before any one realized the danger.
Miss Loper's bake shop was swept out
into the stream and fell apart. Miss
Loper's body was recovered. There
were many narrow escapes. At York
shire, two miles below Arcade, the ap.
proaches to the bridge were washed
away but the bridge is standing. Miles
of roadway are so quilted or buried in

At Sandusky, a few miles from Ar

come reports of livestock killed. The
loss to individuals will be very high
ana the local loss to the town from the
destruction of bridges and roadbeds
will be high.
At Batavia the heavy rains for the
last six days have swollen Tonawanda

Hundreds of acres of farm lards are
