He was only a tramp, but he was
aged and sick and when he wandered
into the city on Friday last it was
not difficult to see that he was SUI
fering, so he was given permission to
sleep in the jail. The old man was
a Swede and he gave his name as
Gustave Hogberg and his age as %.
On Monday his illness showed alarm
ing symptoms and he was taken to
the old hospital and DR.. Steen was
called, who pronounced the case
pneumonia. He continued to get
worse and on Tuesday morning just
before the sun rose for the rest of us
this old. tired tramp passed into the
great beyond where tbs said the
aweary be at rest" and it must be
that this old man found it for there
was an expression of peace upon his
features which spoke of his last
hope as realized. Letters found on
his person were from Sweden ana
addressed to the above name at D
Water street, New York city. He
was buried on Wednesday at public
expense. Only tramp! but what a
history of love, of disappointment,
of joy and sorrow may have been IN
terwoveh into the 73years' life of this
poor old man who died among stran-
gers thousands of miles from the
land that gave him birth! Some men
are tramps from choice, others from
necessity. Let us give the old man
the benefit OF the charity "that
thinketh no evil and believe that his
needs drove him to it. Anyway, he
was old and needed the rest that is
now his,

DI A BOLIC AL
Attempt 10 Burn PUIn0In House
DISCOVERED IN TINE 70 prevent THE
DESTRUCTION OF PALATkA.
NUgIIfCeDI Work Of The CITY Fire
Department.

The Putnam House was fired by an
incendiary last Monday morning
The fire was discovered about 2 a. m.
by Mrs. Cato who was awakened by
the smoke. She aroused Mr.. Cato
who called Mr.. Mooney, the care
taker. Night policeman Sanford
happened to be near on Lemon street,
and he sounded the alarm.
The firemen were prompt. They
couldn't have gotten out quicker had
they been drawing 81 900 year sala-
~. Citizens generally responded
also. The fire was in the hallway
Immediately back of the ladies par
lor. The house was chOked with
smoke, and for a time it was almost
impossible to stand to the work. But
the water was turned on and the
brave firemen, after a full half hours
work, had the flames subdued and
the woodwork so saturated there was
no danger of their breaking out
again.
The fire burned up through the
floor and spoiled the walls and cell
ing for twenty feet; the damage from
water is considerable: a total of $4OO
to $500.
After the battle it was discovered
that the work was unquestiOnablY
that of an incendiary. 1t is stated
that the fiend crawled under the
house through a man hole on the
Reid street side. Those who went
under say his tracks are to be seen
both going and coming away, and
that in the latter trip he got lost as
the tracks show wanderings. But he
got away: more's the pity.
1t was diabolical, for the idea orig.
mated from the hell in the mans
heart. Had he been caught there is
no doubt that he would even now be
doing time in the eternity from which
his fiendishness originated. AT any
rate the people would have done
their part in giving him start.
There have been several fires O
incendiary origin here lately, bu
none of them at their worst coulC
have had the destructive effect OF
the city as would the successful fir
ing of the Putnam House. Once
fired beyond control the best bust
ness part of Palatka would have
gone with it.
There are many theories on the
question of motive, but they are onl!
theories. The mayor and council
have ordered watchfulness, ant
sometime the arch fiend will b.
caught and then-well, we reckon.
The City Council at its meeting OF
Tuesday night offered reward TO
the apprehension and conviction o
the party who caused the fire.

LAPSED CONTRACTS.
Method Of Procedure in Case of Late
John Jacoby.

Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the city solicitor. has
submitted an opinion to the District Com
missioners relative to the method OF pro
cedure to be taken by the municipal au-
thorities in regard to the lapsed contracts
Of the late John Jacoby, who was engaged
on important sewer work here at the time
of his death. Mr.. Duvall says, according
to the papers presented, these contracts
have not yet expired. The Commissioners
have sent notices by mail to the bondsmen
and to the attorney of Mrs. Jacoby to COIN
plete the work called for in the several
contracts, which are portion of the east
side interceptng sewer, the extension OF
the boundary sewer and section near the
corner of Sd and Cincinnati streets.
Mr.. Duvall says February q last, letters
of administration on the estate of Mi.
Jacoby were issued by the Supreme Court
of the District to Mr.. William c.. Prentlss.
Mr.. Duvall therefore suggests the admin
istrator should be notified to complete the
contracts according to the terms specihsd,
he being the legal representative of the ie-
ceased contractor. The solicitor says the
notice to the attorney of Mrs. Jacoby was
not equivalent to a notice to the admin
istrator Of the estate.
