1t was an impressive compliment to
Congressman Littlefield of Maine when
the anti trust measure which bears
his name and of which he was the
chief sponsor passed the National
House without dissenting vote. There
was Democratic opposition to it at va
rious stages and numerous attempts TO
amend it, but when it came to the final
vote every member wanted to go on
record as in favor of it. Very seldom
does measure of great Importance
go through with such unanimity.

Ny Patron saint, st. Valentine,
Whv dost thou leave me to repine,
Still supplicating at her shrine??
But bid her eyes to me incline
I'll ask no other sun to shine
More rich than is Golcondas mine.
Range all that woman, song or wine
Can give; wealth. power and fame COM

For her I'd gladly all resign.
Take all the pearls are in the brine
Sift heaven for stars, earths flowers en-

But be her heart my Valentine.

the hands of Constable Dave Seabolt,
and he and another man of the noun
tains ran the man down and caught
him in a cave on the banks of the

A Union DEPOT REFORM.
To which the Attention OF the
station Master is Called.

Brunswick. Ga, Aug. H.-Editor
Morning News: 1 see in the columns
of your paper this morning that Mr.
]. c. Blanton of Columbia will be
appointed as station agent for the
Union Station i'll Savannah. There is
one reform to which 1 desire to call
Mr.. Blantons attention, which, If car
ried out, will certainly be appreciated
by the large crowds of excursionists
who visit your city every Sunday from
all sections of the state. What 1 refer
to is the present system of keeping
the gates leading to the trains closed
until within ten or fifteen minutes OF
train time, and then expect several
hundred persons of different races and
sex to crowd through, and with only
one man to examine and punch the
tickets.
l have been in this jam several
times this summer, but my experience
last night was the very worst l ever
saw in this respect. There were fully
600 excursionists on our train, and when
the gate opened, few minutes before
the train was due to depart this hete-
rogeneous mass of humanity was
wedged in so tight, that eXtrication
spectacle white girls were damned and
literally sanwiched between drunken
men; young mothers, with babes in
their arms, were dragged and mashed
in every direction, without the least
power to protect themselves; drunken
men, without tickets, were vainly en-
deavoring to force an entrance into the
car shed, and not being allowed to
enter, were blocking up the gate so
that others 0nIlI6 oh A
policeman was trying to quell the loud
and indecent talk of a lot of drunken
hoodlumS, who had just enough bad
booze in them to make them ugly I
was damned against one of these gen.
try, who was making frantic efforts
to get his gun" so that he could
pump somebody full of lead for jam
ming him that way. As was the
somebody" referred to, you may well
imagine that 1 did not feel particular
ly comfortable. However, | finally
managed to be pushed through and
take my train.
Now, in Jacksonville, the gates lead
ing to the car shed are opened fully
an hour before the train departs; also
they have two ticket inspectors, who
not only examine and punch vour
tickets, but politely inform you on
which track your train may be stand
ing. There is no crowding or push
ing, and those desiring to do so, NAV
secure their seats, and make them
selves comfortable at any time thew
desire before the departure of their
respective trains.
Mr. Blanton's attention is respect
fully called to this matter, and it is
earnestly hoped he will institute the
needed reform at once and also re-
quire the ticket inspector TO tell mas
sengers on which track they NAV find
their trains, 1 requested this informa-
ton from the inspector last night. but
no response was given to me whatever

on the same day, and was buried this
morning. Miss Appley. who has been
an invalid for ten years or more, rose
from her bed shortly before or after 8
o'clock to find out the time of night
She struck a match, and in some way
the mosquito bar on her bed became
ignited, and within a few moments
the entire bed was afame. The young
woman's night clothing also caught,
and Immediately she was wrapped in
a sheet of flames. Her screams at
tracted the attention of her step-fa-
Their. Mr.. ]. w. Johnson, who imme-
diately rushed to the young lady's
room. Unfortunately, he found the
door locked and was unable to gain
entrance until he had broken the door
down. The woman was terribly
burned and remedies proved of no use.

THREE WHALES ON BEACH.

Three whales are stranded on South
Beach. on Anastasia Island. This news
was brought to St. Augustine Tuesday
by DIR. Dewitt Webb, the discovery
of the unusual incident having been
made just before he left the beach on
the last train. The whales were in
shallow water, with three or four feet
of their backs showing above the
breakers. Occasionally they attempted
to blow. but their shouts being out of
water, they succeeded only in making
a roaring noise. When DR.. Webb left
to catch his train the South Beach
whalers' We're devsing means of Sc
curing their prizes. George Redding-
ton tried to kill the three monsters
with a rifle. but they only dashed the
more. The men will work all night to
secure the whales. Shark hooks will
be used, and it is believed that it will
be possible to anchor them securely.
1t is not known how the whales hap
pened to become stranded. At the time
fierce south storm was blowing, and
they may have been thrown out of
deep water. Whales sometimes seek
shallow water for the purpose of scour-
ing the barnacles from their bodies on
the sand. The whales now on the
beach are estimated to be about thir-
~ feet long and about eight feet high.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships

Vessel owners of New York and all
other United States ports are in con-
sternation over a new ruling which
they have heard the Department of
Commerce and Labor will put into ef-
feet in a few days. 1t is that before
a vessel can receive it's inspection pa
pers it must sign the following rule:
This certifies that this vessel is not
navigated more than twelve hours in
any twenty-four."
Supervising Inspector Charles S.
Rode asks why any hJlbub should be
raised over this, which he says is an
old rule. If it is an old rule about one
out of twenty-five vessels owners ever
heard of it. 1t may be an old rule in
the sense that it has been an unwrit-
ten law with that private body, the
Marine Engineers Benefit Association.
Tugs alone are navigated fifteen hours
at a stretch, says w. L. Chapman of
the Merritt, Chapman Wrecking Com
panY, who has not known of the rule
before. "A ridiculous rule, he calls it..
Inspector Rode intimated that ii is
now written for the approval of the
Secretary of Labor and Commerce.
Shippers hint broadly at the influence
of the Marine Engineers Association
with the Department of Commerce.
They failed at the strike, they say, but
have discovered a better way of de-
feating the vessel owners.
w. I. Dalzell of the White Star Tow
ing Company, No. 78 South street, New
York said:
Such a rule would put us out of
business. Things would come to a
complete stop or else we should have
to double UP on prices
The Manhattan Lighterage Company
New York says the same. All hint at
a side attack of the marine engineers.
