CUTTING AFFRAY In
SOUTH GAINESVILLE
William Bell Carved Moses Bry-
ant to the Queens Taste.
FouND HIM VII us We

This Was Too Much for Bell, Who Or
dered Bryant from His Home, and
Genera Fight Ensued, in Which Bry-
ant Got the Worse--TriaI Today.
Because another man came between
himself and his home Wednesday,
William Bell has caused great trouble,
which, in the general opinion of the
public, he had a right to do. AS re-
suit Nose Bryant is now laying up at
his home with several serious gashes
in his side, the effect of knife wounds
at the hands of Bell, and from which
he may not recover soon.
There is an old saying that a mans
home is his castle, and that is true
one. The only trouble is that things
did not look exactly square at Bells
home, as matters did not seem in ac-
cord with Bell and his wife, whom it
appears was harboring and probably
paying too much attention to another
man. Bell is Woodworking, consci-
entious man, and the sympathies of
those who know him are on his side.
Bell, who is the driver of the trash
wagon, in the employ OF the city, went
to his home in South Gainesville
Wednesday morning, Unexpectedly.
Upon his arrival he found Moses Bry-
ant, a porter on the Gainesville and
Gulf Railway, in the house with
his wife. He ordered Bryant to
leave the premises at once. Bry-
ant did not leave the house, but at
the door he met Bell with big stick
and proceeded to play havoc with his
skull, striking him several times. Bry-
ant evidently labored under the i'm
preston that he was striking at base
ball, for, while Bell was retreating he
struck him, it is said, several severe
blows on the lead, giving him pain in
the stomach. Bell finally secured
from his pocket Barlow, with which
ne managed to carve Bryant sufficient
ly to put him out Of business for the
present, and he was sent to his home
in precarious condition. After Bry-
ant had thrown up his hands and asked
Bell to resist, however, and after Bell
had done so, Bryant picked up an ak
and attempted to brain him unawares.
The man was too clever for him, how
ever, and foiled him in his own pur-
pose.
After the difficulty Bell came to the
city and sought officer Pinkoscn, sur
rendering. He stated to the officer
the exact state of affairs, explaining
how he had become involved in the
trouble. He will be given a hearing
in the municipal court this morning.

A New Feature in Carnival Attractions
to Visit This City Soon.

TO visit This City Soon.
For the past three days L. @. Kelley,
general agent of the Jones & Adams
Congress of Novelties, has been in the
city arranging for the holding of g
monster Mardi Gras and Carnival, to
commence Monday, Feb. 18th, and last
all week.
The Jones-Adams Company comes
with the highest recommendation
both from the press and public Of
every city they have visited in Flor
ida, and the citizens of Gainesville are
guaranteed a week of high-class, in
nocent, up-to-date amusement. I'm
like all other carnivals that have Wis
tied Gainesville, they do not show
upon the streets, leaving the people
who visit their attractions exposed TO
inclemen: weather, bat instead are
presenting the very latest idea in the
carnival world, which is the original
idea Of Messrss Jones aud Adams, OF
furnishing one Of the largest sun and
waterproof tents ever carried by g
travelling organization to protect their
patrons from bad weather, and having
all Of their shows and attractions face
into the big tent, thus making it pos
sible TO visit the carnival with the as
sufance that you can enjoy It without
fear Of getting wet or muddy. Their
big tent is a wonder Of the tent-mak-
er's art. Some idea of the euormity
OF It's size can be gained by the fact
that it holds five thousand people At
fractions given ia the center Of the big
tent every hali-hour. Show grounds

The report comes to hand that deal
ers in California oranges are doing all
in their power to injure the sale Of
Florida fruit in the Northern markets,
claiming that frozen oranges are being
shipped from Florida. But these state
ments need cause no alarm to Florida
growers. Wherever the Florida orange
has been sold once it will find q ready
market again, The dealers North have
only one complaint, and that is the in
sufficient crop Of Florida oranges to
supply the demand. Even the "sec-
onds" in Floridas are preferable to the
best they get from California.

FLORIDA FOR ALL.


Florida, in years past, was only en-
ioyed By few of the very wealthy
people OF the North, who came here in
winter for pleasure and to escape the
severe cold. Some also came here for
health and returned in the spring feel
ing much better from having escaped
the pains Of the body caused by the
chilly wintry blasts. Others came
here because they were restless and
desired change, but we're soon I'M
easy after they reached here and want
ed to return.
Many people are in Florida today
who for years had read of and hoped
to see the beautiful flowers to be found
here at most any time in the winter.
From infancy to manhood and woman
hood they have longed to see the
South, and when the time came that
they could leave their homes, they
came and saw.
Each year the crowds increase, and
those who have been here once or
twice are sure to come again People
Of wealth flock to the palace hotels
where they can show their fine wear
ing apparel and indulge in the society
functions they might enjoy at home,
although some would not be able to
secure the social standing they do
abroad.
Others come for quiet and absolute
rest, in the hope to recuperate from
the malady that is affecting them, and
they find it in the smaller villages,
near beautiful inland lakes or in the
forests OF the long-leaf pine, far away
from the maddening crowds of the
congested winter hotels, and by care
full nursing, throwing medicine to the
dogs, and plenty of outdoor exercise,
regain their health.
But the sick ones long for the out
door air, and when shut up in the house
by the disagreeable weather that is
sometimes prevalent for a few days,
forget that in their Northern homes it
is doubly disagreeable. A few days Of
cool weather is beneficial to the health
of the country, and after it comes the
pure air, laden with the fragrance Of
jessamine and orange blossoms, amply
repaging for the few days Of cool
weather.
Another feature has been added to
the entertainment of winter tourists,
and one that is taken advantage Of by
many. In various portions OF the State
are conducted winter chsutauquas,
Sunday school conventions and Bible
meetings, which are located away from
the centers where the butterfly"
throngs assemble, supplied with men
Of National reputation as opponents Of
the doctrines of the true religion, also
literary and musical people OF merit,
to join in furnishing both instruction
and entertainment for those who pre-
fer something more substantial.
There is room in Florida for a win
ter's enjoyment for all good people
who desire to come. All are welcome.

The couing OF the electric railroad
into Florida will be contamination
most desired. 40 State in the Union
is more adapted Tor the building and
operating OF electric roads than Flor

American Bank in Japan.

An American bank in Japan, as a profitable enterprise and great aid to the American manufacturer, is a sug- gestion from C. A. Francis of the Higher Technical school of Tokio, who also advises his fellow-Yankees to study Japanese manufacturing condi- tions and needs. One Tokio shop em- plOying from 15 to 20 workmen makes by hand a sewing machine which is claimed to be better than a famous American product of which it Is a copy. It is sold for nine yen, while a poor quality of the American machine costs from 40 to 50 yen. How shall Uncle Sam's agents demonstrate that their companies make certain machine tools which do this work cheaper than they are now doing it and that nc more capital will be needed in the in- stalling of the plant?

MODERN TREASURE TRovE.
Island in Lake Michigan Yields to Searchers a Large Store
 of Gold.

From an island off Grand Traverse bay, in Lake Michigan, two men. ac- cording to uncontradicted report, have just dug up $150,000 in gold. It is sup posed to be gold that was stolen from Chicago at the time of the great fire. It is also stated to be Spanish gold" though the currency of the pistole and the doubloon in Illinois only two years before the crime of '73, is fact in financial history not hitherto noted. This, however, is mere detail. Ths important fact is that a treasure hunt CT has actually unearthed a very sub stantIal sum, and in real money. It will put hope into the hearts of many hitherto unsuccessful excavators, and the stocks of treasure-prospectin mpanies-none of which. so far as we know, are listed on any exchange should go up several points.
 The phrase Hike finding money" ular speech) shows in itself how even humdrum notwithstanding society is permeated by the notion of treasure trove. Other equally common figures of speech, it will be noted, relate to experiences as familiar as them- selves Split milk and chickens count sd before they are matched come with in the limits of everyone's knowledge. But hardly anybody finds money. When one does, it is usually only a dime or a nickel in the gutter. The phrase goes into homely language be- cause people are thinking about find ing money, not because they are do- ing it.
 One reason for the fascination which hidden treasure has for persons of all ages and periods is that on no other ground do romance and practical sense approach so closely. That thero were pirates along our coasts-enough of them to make up popular series of the now extinct cigarette pictures-is IS indisputable as that there were signers of the Declaration of Independ- ence. They certainly amassed great stores of gold and silver. It was their regular practice to bury this, and mo- body has ever dug it up. Therefore. it is still where they buried 1t, for anybody'S taking.

JILTINc PROVES COSTLY.
When Engagements Are Entered In- to in Germany They Must
 Stand.

It is no light matter to enter into an engagement in Germany. Cupid plays by no means the principal part in the contract. The German law grim, practical, relentless-is close at hand to see that no wrong Is done to either party. No wonder, therefore, that an engagement is entered into only a little less lightly than the estate of matrimony itself. Once the betrothal feast has taken place the knot is as good as tied. The one who breaks the engagement, except for good reasons, recognized by the law as such, is obliged to pay, not for damaged affections or broken heart, but for material loss. If the bride have given up a lucrative employment in the prospect of marriage she must be compensated, and all moneys spent by parents or guardians for the trous- seau, the wedding breakfast. etc, must be made good
 On the other hand, the bride-to-bs who jilts her fiance without good cause is required to make good to him any loss he may have sustained through her influence, as in exchanging good business for one less lucrative, in or der to be near her; renting house in prospect of marriage or entering into any contract in which money is in volved All such claims must be estab- lished within two years.
 The majority of women over men in Germany is more than 8OO.O00. In the small towns. therefore, the prob lem of marrying the young girls Is getting to be a very serious one. When a hostess wishes to give ball or a small dance she finds that for 50 or 60 young girls she can find only about six young men. For this reason the boys in the high schools and gymnasia are permitted to go out early, although it is openly ac- knowledged that 1t Is not good for them to be thus distracted from their work. The number of girls training for business or professional careers in creases every year as their chances for marriage decrease.
