FRANCHISE TAX BILL
URGED FOR FLORIDA
legislature Will Have Chance to Consider One
Measures That Are Pending

Tallahassee. Fla, April ia bill
that will prove of great Importance to
the people of Florida has been intro
duced in the House, and stands a
chance for becoming a law 1t pro-
vides that the franchise of every COM
pany or corporation having or exercis-
ing any special or exclusive privilege
not allowed by law to natural persons
or performing any public service, shall
hereafter be valued and assessed for
municipal taxes by the tax assessors in
cities and towns wherein such fran
chises are exercised. 1t prescribes the
manner of assessing, and requires that
associations or corporations make re-
ports at stated times, of the receipts
and expenditures. and provides that
when such corporations refuse or fail
to make the required report on or be-
fore the first of April in each year. the
city assessor shall proceed to ascertain
the facts, in such manner as he may
deem proper, and such corporation
company or association shall be taxed
accordingly.
A bill was railroaded through the
Senate changing the name of the Flor
ida Agricultural College to the Uni
versity of Florida. Prominent edu-
Gators say the term applied to that
institution would be decidedly a mis-
homer, and that no college or school

in Florida has the equipment. the num-
Der of students, nor the curriculum to
justify the application of the term uni
versity. State Superintendent Sheats
says it will be fifteen years before Flor
ida is ready for state university, and
that the sparse population of the state,
together with the poorly organized con-
dition of the common and high schools,
do not justify, at present, the organiza-
ton of such an institution.
The measure will have strong oppo-
sftion in the House, especially as the
Legislature of 1885 passed a law max
ing the West Florida Seminary (now
known as the Florida State College, at
Tallahassee, the University of Florida
The friends of the other schools will
rally and put up a strong fight to de-
feat the measure.
In the Senate Tuesday the bill to
intoxicating liquors within four miles
of school or church, will be made a
srecial order for IL o'clock. Considera-
BILE opposition to the measure has de-
veloped, and it's fate is uncertain, al
though it's friends claim 1t will pass by
a small margin. Two amendments
were offered to the bill. one to strike
out the clause which would prohibit
the manufacture and sale of domestic
wines; the other to strike out the
words ito tipple,'' Senator Blount con-
tending that it would be impossible to
prevent a mans drinking within four
miles of a church or school house. If
the bill passes, it will be in the amend
ed form.

Sir Oliver had been in feeble health
for some time, but the accident in
which he broke his leg last Sunday
night FASTENED the end. Sir Oliver
was premier of Ontario from 1872 to
1896, twenty-four years, thus earning

signed to become minister of justice
in the Dominion cabinet. He was in
1897 appointed Lieutenant Governor Of

MURDERED A WOMAN.
Norman Was Seized With an Tn

Norman was SehL@u WIN an Tn
holy Desire to Kill.
brunswick, Ga, April 19.-Lavenia
owens, colored, was shot and instantly
killed at an early hour this morning
by Ed. Norman, alias Ed. Massey, also
colored.
The trouble occurred at Coleman's
turpentine still, few miles from the
city. 1t seems that a big dance was
arranged for Saturday night, and a
number of negroes from the city went
out, Norman and the woman being
among them. The entire crowd got
drunk and about o'clock this morn
ing Norman said that he had not had
enough fun for the night, and stated
that he was going Ito kill one old ne
gro before returning to the city"
He invited Lavenia to take an early
morning walk with him, which she
agreed to do. When about fifty yards
from the house where the dance was
pistol, and, pointing it at the woman,
fired without saying a word. The ball
took effect just below the woman's
heart She walked a few feet, fell, and
died in few minutes. The negro then
walked away, towards the city, swing
ing the pistol around on his fingers
as if though nothing had happened.
Coroner Jennings was notified and
secured a jury and went out to the
scene of the killing. The jury's verdict
was to the effect that the woman had
been killed by Norman. The negro
has not been captured, but it is thought
that he is somewhere in the city, as he
came in this direction after committing
the murder.

ODD STAGE "FRIGHTs."
Sudden Turns which Have Brought
Down the Curtain.

From London Answers.
While playing the principal part at
the Grand Theater, Birmingham, last
Guy Fawkes. night, Miss Kate Rorke,
the well-known actress, was interrupt
ed in curious manner. Precisely at
the moment when the audience were
watching her with eager and intense
by a sudden crash through the roof,
followed by commotion in the gall
lery. The bolt from the blue which in
terfered with the play for time was
a spent rocket that had been sent up
from bonfire in the neighborhood.
Beyond startling the audience just for
the moment, this sudden turn did no
great damage.
Now and again the interruption on
the stage takes a humorous turn. A
funny incident occurred not so very
long ago at the London Alhambra.
Mile. Cleo de Merode, the famous con-
tinental dancer, had already given
part of her turn with the greatest sue
cess, and had come on for the Greek
dance she gives-the last, and perhaps
the prettiest part of her performance.
In this act she usually finishes by pos
ing as an example of Grecian statuary
and placing the customary double pipe
to her mouth to give a classical effect
to the posture. 1t is a silent act. At
that moment, on the occasion in ques-
ton, a terrible boy in the gallery gave
a terrific blast on his Marketing trum-
pet. The audience was convulsed, and
Mile, Merode was only too pleased to
beat a retreat.

Though Mrs. Patrick Campbell may
hot regard the interruption of her
acting by a monkey as humorous, it
provided a huge audience with an inn
mense amount of fun. The incident
happened during the great actress
recent tour. In the middle of an act

was in an unroar. Mrs. Campbell sud
denly stopped, and the attendants
made frantic efforts to capture the
gyrating animal. At last the monkey,
who had been struggled into the thea
ter, was restored to It's mistress, who,
with her missing link" retired, after
which Mrs. Campbell resumed act

ago attended by serious injury to one
of the company, but a panic among the
audience was only just prevented by
the promptest measures. The perform
ance was being given by an amateur
company drawn from the depot ship
Pembroke. During the preparation for
one of the scenes, In which a TOM
ahawk display by Indians served as a
prominent feature, the audience were
alarmed by the sudden appearance on
the stage of most realistic redskin,
attired in the fullest war paint, his
body enyeloped in flames. Jumping the
footlights. the fiery figure rushed into
the street eventually putting out the
flames by rolling in the mud of the
gutter. The poor fellow, a seaman,
was terribly burned, and had to be re-
, moved to the hospital.
In the meantime some of the scenery
had caught fire, and the theater brig
ade had to play upon the flames for
some minutes before they could be
extinguished. Needless to say, that
evenings performance came to an alb
rupt conclusion.

revolving platform and a swiftly NOV
amphitheatre background. 1t was a
very thrilling spectacle. One night,
through the revolving platform collid-
ing with the frame work, a charioteer
was thrown bodily from his car to the

rapidly approaching team. The horses,

FOR NATIONAL THEATER
Members of the Dramatists' Club
Gave n Dinner.

New York, April 19.-For the pur-
pose of furthering the movement for
the establishment in this city of an
endowed national theater, members of
the American Dramatists Club tonight
gave a dinner at Delmonico's, with
Heinrich Conreid as the guest of honor
Mr.. Conreid was i'll and unable to re-
main in the banquet room any length

said he believed the discussion of the
educational feature of the stage to be
the most important part of the prob
lem.

Shakespeare will write This project
cannot be accomplished in a year. We
will be lucky if it is accomplished in

ing. The plan is simple. We shall be
able to build such a theater very cas-
lily.

very wealthy man that as soon as the
plan is devised it will receive the requi-

view with him yesterday relative to
the newly organized San Pedro, Los

pany.
The transaction" said Senator Clark,
has been described as a lease On the
contrary, and my associates have pur-
chased all of the lines of the Oregon
Snort Line Company south of Salt
Lake City and will construct about 400
miles of road from Calientes, Utah,
southwesterly through Cajon Pass TO

Will be soon completed to Los

The San Pedro, Los Angeles and

thorized to issue $50,OO0,0 900 bonds, and
mas $25,O00000 capital stock 1t has
purchased the Oregon Short Line sys-
tenn south from Salt Lake City to Ca
nentes, embracing $40 miles of road,
and, in addition to the main line, has
taken over several shorter lines. Most
important is the bennington cut off,
extending from Salt Lake City 10
bennington, Utah. This cut off was
recently constructed and is only 1T
miles long, besides having the advan-
tage of lower grades.
West from Calientes I have al
ready had forty miles of grading COM
pleted. The road will go through the
Meadow Valley wash, the dry channel
OF an old water course, which consti-
tutes the only available route. At
CaJon we meet grade of 106, but
aside from this the maximum grade is
but seventy-nine feet. The cost will
average $4,000 mile.
The portion of the Oregon Short
Line system which we have purchased
will be relaid with 75-pound rails and
the equipment will be the very best.
From Salt Lake City to Los An
geles by this new route Is 800 miles,
which we intend to cover with limited
trains in twenty-four hours.
Tributary to the new road are vast
deposits of iron and other minerals
that only await development. We ex-
