BUYING UP RAILROAD LANDS.

Fort Myers Press: The Board of
County Commissioners held a meeting
last Thursday at the request and ex-
pense of Mr.. John A. Graham of jack
sonville representing a syndicate that
is buying up the immense bodies Of
lands owned by the railroad companies.
Mr. Edward NVisner one of the pur-
chasers. appeared before the board. Mr..
Graham proposition to pay one years
taxes for all the lands of the Florida
Southern and Florida Commercial
Companies was rejected. Mr.. Wisner
then submitted a proposition to pay
three cents per acre as taxes. providing
all the tax certificates held by the
state were cancelled. This proposition
was accepted by the board, who pass
I'd a resolution advising the controller
to accept this offer. The lands of these
companies amount to about $50, 900
acres, which at 3 cents an acre would
amount to $500. OF this the state
would receive about one-third, and the
county two-thir1s. 1t would also ben
eft the state and county by having
these lands once more assessed for
taxes, whereas nothing mas been de-
rived from them for the past ten
years. In addition to the above lands
in this county the company has al
ready secured the lands of the Louis
vile and Nashville and Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railway
amounting 10 100000 acres. purchasing
these lands direct from these tom-
panies, thus making an aggregate of
100000 acres that they nave secured
in this county. We had q conversation
with Mr. Wisnar a few days ago in
regard 10 this land sale He would not
give the names Of the parties assoc
ciated with him in the deal or what
their intentions were, but informed US
that the syndicate is purchasing about
100000 acres in the counties of Lee,
De Soto, Manatee, Brevard and Dade.
As near as we can learn the syndi-
cate is composed of Northern capital
lists. This might indicate that the
purpose of the company vas TO drain
the over-fowed lands and go into su-
gar culture. But whatever the pur-
pose Of the company is, it seems like
" that it will mean much for the South
Florida counties

steamboatmen Pleased.

The steamboat people are consider
ably interested in the proposed rail-
road from Millen to Hagaslaga, on the
Savannah river, mention of which
was made in Sundays Morning News.
Such connection with the river
would be a feeder for steamboats, that
would increase their earnings great
ly, and wishes are expressed among
them that the reports are correct. If
the railroad builds to. the river it will
be a boom for the little landing of
Hagaslaga, for wharves and ware
houses would be erected there. and the
population of the place increased

since then it has developed that they

81. 900. Judge Farr has sent out notices
TO about 15O creditors in New York

been returned with the statement that
Mr.. Clarke is not indebted to the firms.
From this it is inferred that Mr.. Clarke

that the debts are those of the firm.

HARMLESS NEGRO MURDERED.

Gainesville Sun: Alfred Dolby, col
ored, thirty years old, has been killed
at Alachua, so it IS rumored. While
plowing in the field of Lewis Rawls,
perfectly contented with his humbled
lot, he was fired upon from ambush,
and thirty buckshot entered his body,
from which he expired instantly. Mr..
Rawls, with two others, was standing
on the piazza of his home when he
heard the report Of two gun shots in
rapid succession. Anticipating that
something was wrong he suggested to
his companions that they make an in
vestigation. They started out into the
field, and after going a few yards met
the horse which was hitched to the
pillow used by Dolby, coming toward
them al a rapid gait. being frightened.
The horse was checked, when the party
proceeded to the extreme limit of the
field where they found the
victim cold in death. There was no
apparent motive for the crime. as the
murdered man was an inoffensiye,
good-natured character who never in
dulged in disorder. quarrels or alter
cations. The murderer made his escape
and no clue whatever has yet been
reached.
