AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
A Florida Legislator Suffers in a Rail-
road Accident

Not for a cool million In money or a
generous portion of the United States would
l repeat my experience of June %" said
Mr.. Trepard Stockton of Jacksonville Fla,
a member of the Florida Legislature from
the Duval district and a brother OF D. b.
Stockton, who opposed Senator Taliaferro
in his last fight for reelection to the Sen-
ate. Looping the loop may be considered
by some as a wild excitement" continued
Mr.. Stockton, but to be hurled from your
sleeping berth through a window from a
train going at a sixty-mile clip is a Jour-
ney that hope never to take again. That
| am alive today is due more to good luck
than anything else, and when l get back
home l will tell this to my friends as
the reason that am able to be with them
again. Another reason for nv miraculous
escape from death, l think is due to the
fact that the engineer stuck brayely TO his
post. instantly closed the throttle. and thus
saved the train from going over a high en-
bankment 1t was the most terrible ex-
perience l ever knew. l can almost re-
enact the whole thing now, with myself
lying half conscious in a ditch containing
about two feet of water. and that train sus-
pended over an embankment fifty feet in
the air, in imminent danger of crashing
down on me. Ughi I'll tell you It's enough
to make strong man somewhat squeam-
ish. When | think of the happenings of
that morning l realize that I'm indeed a
lucky mar"
Mr.. Stockton, who was in recent wreck
near Alexandria, Va. spoke in this strain
to a Star representative today while con-
fined to his room at the New Willard. and
his cut and bruised appearance gave addi-
tional meaning to his words. He is, how
ever, not badly hurt despite his plunge
through space, and will return to his home
in few days.

Unloading Ice Vessels.

There Is no danger of ice famine here
this summer unless there should come a
long spell of calm weather that would pre-
vent vessels sailing, but even then 1t would
be only until tugs could be obtained to
tow the vessels from the Kennebec here.
The ice houses are all well filled and
the local ice companies have fleets of YES
sells at sea bound here with big cargoes
of ice aboard
Three large coasting schooners with about
4.000 tons of ice from the Maine Ice fields
aboard are at sea, but will arrive here
some time during this week in order to keep
the ice houses here with stocks On hand
large enough to meet the heavy demand of
the hot weather. The schooner Josie r.
Burt should be the first one to come into
port, with about 1900 tons aboard, and
she will be followed by the Emma F.
Angel with 1900 tons, and the big four
master Malcolm B. Stovey with about 1000
or ], 500 tons aboard. These vessels are all
well known here and have frequently been
here with cargoes of ice aboard. Eight
or ten schooners with capacities varying
from 100 to 1900 tons each are under
charter to bring ice here and will load
at once. They will come in one by one
during the next month or six weeks.

An Early Morning Refresher.

About o'clock in the morning of one
of the recent very hot days a Star man
observed an old gentleman intently en-
gagged in watching the driver of an ice
wagon chopping up a huge block of ice in
big box preparatory to delivering it to a
customer. Upon remarking to the old gem
tleman that the chopping process had a re-
freshfng sound, the latter remarked: 1T
not only sounds so, but 1t really is so. 1t
Is genuine Refrigerator and five minutes
attendance cools one off to a degree that
gives him an appetite for breakfast. And
then the music in IT, he went on, "the
Jingle and the tinkle is worth getting up
early to hear. The whole atmosphere about
you is cooler and the weather doesn't seem
half as hot as 1t really is"
Then the old gentleman turned to the ice
man and asked
How do you like it?''
I'D like it better" said that prosaic in
diyidual. IF it didn't take about half my
wages to keep me in quinine. This riding
on an ice wagon amt no fun Chills a
running up my spine about half the time.
But then somebody's got to do it," he add
ed. philosophcally. Folks must have ice
in summer time
