RumblingS of discomfort concern
ing the management of Florahome
colony are daily heard and may re-
suit in an application to rhe court
'or the appointment of u receiver for
the company controlling that prop
erty, at the hands of minority stock
represented here.
During the past week quite a num-
Der of the colOnists have been in the
city, and from what they have said
TO parties here it is apparent that
there is much dissatisfaction at the
failure of the company to comply
with the terms of the contracts un-
der which some of the reclaimed
land was purchased.
A considerable of this land, owing
to the heavy rains of two or three
weeks ago, has been under water.
This, the colonists claim, would not
have been the case had the company
performed it's part of the contract in
dredging the land to the depth called
for in the specifications.
The company has certainly some
things which it ought to explain to
certain colonists, among which can
be mentioned it's failure to give deeds
to certain colonists who have paid
for their land.
In our Florahome letter, published
today, mention is made of the fact
that Rev. Mi. Holzhausen, being
unable to get to his land,n has rented
a tract from another colonist. Our
correspondent fails to tell what COW
ers Mr.. Holzhausen's land, but 9TH
ers from Florahome have informed
The News that this land, as well as
that of several others, Is covered
with water, and that the colonists
did not come to Florida pre-
pared to engage in submarine farm
ing.
The Florahome colony tract con-
tains some of the most desirable |
land to be found in Florida,
and there are lots of we'll pleased,
satisfied settlers, but there are also
others who are far from satisfied, and
whose only need is honest treatment
at the hands of the company, and
tull compliance with the terms of
5he contract under which they have
made their purchases of land.
1t is reported that the State has
given to the Etoniah Canal and
Drainage Company, owners of the
Florahome tract, Il deed for It's grant
)f land on account of the drainage
If the land, and that many parties
untitled to their deeds under this
grant, after making repeated appli-
,&tiOn for same, haye never received
hem. 1t is also stated that the deed
made by the State to the company
las never been recorded.
1t is IL fact also that Mr.. Vanatta,
he president Of the company, has
,laced a $4,000 mortgage on the {
property of the Etoniah Canal and
Drainage Company, including its
franchises and all assets.
This mortgage is held by the bank
If Brookston, Ind, of which Mr..
Tnnptta is cashier, and has less than
i've months to run.

A Big Christmas Trade.

All the merchants of Palatka had
good Christina trade and are gen.
orally well satisfied with the results.
1t seemed more like the Palatka of
the old and prosperous days. Those
who walked up Lemon street Christ
mas eve did not fail to notice and
comment on the rushing business
which was going on inside John
Bonds big Racket Store. 1t was
the biggest crowd of active buyers
seen in Palatka in recent years. The
store was chock full, and seventeen
salespeople were busy wrapping up
packages as fast as they could, and
yet they were not able to wait on
half the customers. Money was
ringing and coming to the cashier
from every direction. John Bond,
himself, did not get excited, but he
walked the floor, calling to this one
and that clerk, looking after GUS
toners by directing them to the va
rlOus departments, and doing all in
his power to have everyone properly
served. Many people who wanted
to get in the store were unable to
push their way through the crowd.
1t was crowd with money, and all
eager to spend 1t.
Referring to the crush, Mr.. Bond
the next day said: at beats any
thing | ever saw. We sold more
goods that day than l ever saw sold
under one roof in my life. 1t is only
little over five years ago that L
started in the racket store business
with $3.50 worth of goods bought on
credit. afterwards increased it to
about S400, on credit, and now i am
doing the largest and incest business
IN Palatka, and / often look back
with wonder to the time when had
a few dollars worth of goods on the
Shelf, all to be paid for when sold. l
nave every reason to feel grateful to
the people,
Mr.. Bond attributes his phenom-
enal success to the polite attention
which he insists must be given all
customers, together with an honest
desire to give good values. His
Ssalespeople are all up-to-date and
nave the interests of their employer
at heart. Mr.. Bond represents the
best type of the young and progress
slye men of the day.

SUICIDE RACED WITH DEATH TO
KISS CHILDREN-

hloS NiILDhEN-
Orlando Feeney, butcher, of
Derby, Conn, a victim of melan-
cholia, took Il fatal dose of morphine
in Bridgeport. He then was seized
with such a desire to see his little
daughters-Lillian, 13, and Norma, a
child of eight-he boarded a trolley
car and rode to that city, an hours
ride.
The journey was scarcely half COM
pleted when stupor began to over
power him. His fellow passengers
walked him up and down the car, and
he was held with his face to the
biting wind outside until the city
was reached, when he was made TO
run to his home He staggered into
the room of the girls, kissed each
gOodby and fell unconscious. He
died a short time afterwards.

TLRRlBLE EXPLOSION
Sixteen Men Are Dead and
Others Injured

Peekskill, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Sixteen
men are reported dead and number
wounded as the result of series OF
explosions today ON Iona island in the
Hudson, used by the government as
a storage house for dynamite and
powder. f j.
The first explosion occurred shortly
before l o'clock and was followed by
others for more than an hour, the de-
donations being heard in this city at
2:30.
A phone call was sent here for
every physician available, and all that
could be found responded to the call.
Beyond the fact that sixteen men were
killed and many wounded no details
of the disaster were obtainable at
230 this afternoon.
The explosion was heard for more
than ten miles. The island is 500
yards from the west shore of the Hud-
son, but rocks and dirt were hurled to
the West Shore railroad.
A large amount of explosives of the
North Atlantic Squadron was stored
on the island and several hundred
men were stationed there. The blaze
and noise of bursting explosives made
a terrifying spectacle. which was
watched by hundreds OF persons on
this side of the river.
Four years ago the government pur-
chased the entire island for the pur-
pose of converting 1t into naval
magazine. The work was begun i'm
mediately after the purchase and was
in progress today.

1t was thereafter used. Counsel for
defense objected on the ground that
the evidence was incompetent and was
too general. Objection sutained.
State then offered the same evidence

their true names when arraigned.
Defense objected on the ground that
the testimony was incompetent and
irrelevant. Objection was sustained.
DIR. Giroux was recalled. He had
an opportunity to observe the eyes of

condition, who had been given the
amount of chloroform he was given,
at the time it was given him, its eff
feet upon the mans mind at the time
of the Identification would have been
very slight. 1t was possible to ad-
minister only a very little chloroform.
