INCENDIARIsM AT sAwMrLL.

Gainesville Sun: An attempt was
made early Thursday morning to set
fire to the saw mill plant of j. b. Nc
Donald & Co. at Paradise. four miles
north of this city. The night watch
man had gone to the shed where the
locomotive is kept for the purpose of
firing it and had been gone some time
When he returned to the south side Of
the mill he discovered that there was
fire in the planning mill, located only
a short distance from the large saw
mill The alarm was sounded, and J.
B. Mcdonald and number of the la
borers responded to the call. 1t wac
found that the fire was getting under
good Roadway and that it had been
set in the pile of lumber in the plan
ing mill The men al once went to
work to scatter this lumber and sue
ceeded in eXtinguishing the flames. Ev-
licences of incendiarism We're discov-
cred and tracks leading away from the
mill. Dogs were sent for to trail the
supposed incendiaries, but arrived too
late to be of any service.

SMOKE As AN ALLY OF CUPID.

Americas Times Recorder: A loco

in itself, but a sea board freight en-
CINE helped an Americas couple TO a
barrel OF bliss an afternoon or two
since The engineer tells the story,
and swears to it. His train was pass
ing under Barlow street bridge. 1t
was in the cleaning and a loving cou-
pie stood upon the bridge They
were enveloped in a cloud of smoke.
and then it was that the engineer look
ed back to see them in warm en-
brace and kissing fervently. 1t was an
opportunity not to be missed, and the
couple are now in the market to buy
railroad and a private freight engine
that will smoke like a tar kill.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

Large Shipments of Vegetables be-
sCOastwise Steamship Lines-Steam-
boat Doretta Newly Painted-Mat-
tiers of Interest to shippers and
Mariners.
The steamships of both the Ocean
Steamship and the Merchants and
Miners lines are carrying large con-
signments of Florida produce to North
ern markets.
About everything in the vegetable
line is being shipped in large quanti-
ties. More tomatoes than any other
vegetables are going out. The pro-
duce arrives from Florida by the Plant
System and is drayed in the Express
Company's large wagons across town
to the steamship wharves. AS a gen
eral thing these shipments reach their
destination in good condition, for not
only do shippers know all schedules
and sailings and pick truck according
ly, but only the best is sent on voy-
ages, hence it is preserved longer.
The steamboat loretta does not now
look the little warrior she has been
in the past, fighting for freights be-
tween Savannah and Button. She
has put on new paint-and it isn't war
paint either. Tied up opposite the foot
of Whitaker street on the island side,
she looks like an entirely new craft.
The loretta is still competing with
the Louise on the Bluffton route, and
as soon as she finishes her toilet she
will again go on the run.
In the various departments of sail
tonnage there is yet an absence of
important interest Case oil shippers
to far Eastern ports appear indiffer-
ent to tonnage, and the requirements
of the Colonial lines are not urgent.
Barrel oil freights continue dull, and
for South American tonnage there is
little inquiry. Lumber tonnage from
the South to West Indies is in demand,
though few vessels are momentarily
available. Coastwise lumber freights
are quiet. Eastern coal orders are in
market, but the companies are Offering
stock sparingly in view of the disturbed
labor situation. Steamers for timber
from the Gulf to Europe are in de-
mand, and with tonnage of small and
medium character scarce rates are de-
cidedly stronger. Deal and general
cargo rates are steady, though demand
is only moderate. Grain tonnage is
neglected journal of Commerce.
The Census Bureau has issued a re-
port on shipbuilding and repairing in
