the heart at Denmark yesterday and
John Love, aged As years, his brother

together in a buggy late in the even
ing. When arrested Love was still

Lucas, but said that Lucas left him
and he saw nothing more of him I'M
til the body was found.
An examination of Lucas body
showed that the pistol ball had enter
ed the right side, piercing the heart
and lodging beneath the skin on the
left side. The clothing and skin were
burned with powder, showing that the
shot had been fired at close range.
There were evidences of buggy hav-
ing been driven around the body sew
eral times.
Love has a wife and ten children.
while Lucas leaves a widow and two
children.

TWO MEN DROWNED.

At Pensacola Monday three men at
tempted to go to the steamer Rod
dam, lying in the stream, in a small
boat, and all being under the influence
OF liquor, the boat capsized, with the
result that so far as could be ascer-
tained, only one man was saved. The
man saved was Sam Miller. a seaman
of the British steamer Roddam. The
man was under the influence of liquor,
even after his ducking in the bay. Ac-
cording to his statement, he, with
boatswain, called Patty, and lighter
man, whose name he did not know,
left Palafox wharf to go to
the steamer. All had been
drinking, and when about 100
yards from the wharf, 1t was decided
that they should change oars. In NOV
ing about in the small boat 1t was cap
sized. Miller said that he was a good
swimmer, and that he was helping one
of the men who could not swim and
would have saved him, but the other
man, who was struggling in the water,
started towards him, so he released his
grip on one of the men and struck out
for himself.

TOURIST SEASON STILL ON.

Florida Times Union: The tourist
season in Florida still holds on. H.
F. Cary, district passenger agent for
the Southern, returned yesterday from
st. Augustine, and he reports that the
Ancient City is still filled with visitors,
and the hotels are doing the best bust
ness in their history. AS a usual thing,
the resort hotels close the first of
April, or thereabouts, but as long as
the business continues, the hotels will
hardly turn their guests out to con-
form to a rule which exigencies have
converted to custom. The Royal Poin-
ciana at Palm Beach and the Royal
Palm at Miami have already closed,
but they are the first and the only ones
so far of the larger hostelries. The
Tampa Bay will be kept open all the
year.
