TO ERECT CAR SHOPS
Work Will be Commenced
at Once on Tool House.
General Repair Shops and The
Building OF Cars From
the Ground up.

A movement that will mean much TO
Fort Pierce is being made by the Flor
ida East Coast Railway. 1t Is the
establishing Of car shop at this place;
which will include general repair work
for the rolling stock and the building
Of cars. 1t will be on large scale
and cars will be built from the ground
and not q small repair shop for cripped
boxes and fats.
During past years many reports have
been circulated In regard TO the es-
tablishing Of shops, ETC., here, but each
in turn have been proven false alarms.
This is not a hOt-alr spell, but genuine,
oil wool and yard wide. N. j.
Trowell, for some time car inspector
here, and later running on the road
has been appointed foreman, with In
structions TO begin the work OF build
ing tool and supply house as soon as
the material arrives. This was due
here Monday night.
AS soon as the tool house, which
will be In the triangle OF the "Y," Is
erected, the work of repairing and
building OF cars will be begun and done
In. the open till q suitable shop can be
constructed. This will DO done as
rapidly as the carpenters can push the
work.
The need Of such shop at this point
Is urgent as the shops In st. Augustine
are crowded with work and more cars
are needed, and available space for the
increase Of shops at the above point is
scarce.
Foreman Trowell informed us Tues
day that large force Of carpenters
and general repair men would be em-
ployed constantly, thus hringing more
families into our town, This will
mean much 10 Fort Dierce aud many
believe Il is only the advance guard OF
heavy investments by the railroad at
this point. Il Is said unauthoratiyely
that complete machine shops and
everything pertaining TO railway shops
Of all kinds viii be added II lands can
be gotten at the right figure.
Last summer encouraging Steps
we're taken in connection with the
erection OF new and modern passen-
ger station and the enlargement Of the
freight house and yard facilities. With
these in view, 10 addition to the car
shops, 1t 10 safe to say that the railway
aficials do not intend to pull up thier
stakes at Fort Pierce. We welcome
all these improvements, and suggest
that the board of trade again take up
the matter Of the depot site.

.CUPPEPPER REVEALS
Successful Meeting Cut Short
Sunday Night.
Stirring Sermons Accomplished
Much Good.-About Fifty
Accepted Salvation.

& The revival services at the Metho-
dist church, conducted by Rev. John
3. Culpepper and his son Burke, came
suddenly to close Sunday night, by
the receipt Of a telegram by Rev,
Culpepper stating that he was needed
at home Immediately on account of tn .
Illness of his daughter.
The meeting started on Tuesday
evening of last week, and they had in
tended remaining heie at least week
longer, but the hastY summons arrived
lust at the time interest In the service
had reached the point where much
good could have been accomplished.
During the last few services all avaiIa-
bic space in the church was occupied
aud standing room eagerly sought for.
However during the short FIVE days
meeting over fifty additions were made
TO the various churches,
Sunday was a great day at the Meth
odist church. Rev. ]. B. Culpepper
preached at IL o'clock and propounded
the important question what Think
Ye of Christi" For an hour and o
quarter his hearers we're held spell
bound by the earnestness Of his appeal
to thiuk of Christ, and the response to
the call to give the Gallileau a greater
place was practically unanimous,
The mems service which was an
nounced for three o'clock was called
OF and regular service was held.
Rev. Burke Culpepper preached to
packed house on the all absorbing
topic Salvation in all its phrases,
and at the close Of the service many
answered the call TO accept salvation.
At seven o'clock all the aisles wero
filled with extra chairs and the ros-
trum surrounded by children, while
every corner was filed with men
standing. The famous sermon which
had been the means Of bringing thous-
ands to retaliation Of their wrong do
ing-"The Black Horse of Sin"-was
poured forth with all the force Of u
forceful preacher. The vices OF sim
ners were hearted back at them and
appeal after appeal was made 10 get
down sff the black horse" Profanity,
drinking and gambling we're the three
steeds that men were asked TO stop
riding, and when he asked for show
OF hands by those who wished to be
remembered 10 prayer, scores of up
lifted hands showed that the powerful
sermon had had its effect.
AT the close Of the service Pastor
Tomkies administered the ordinance
OF baptism to about dozen.

.STREETPAvNGB BEGUN
Orange Avenue and Pine
Street Being Rocked.
Forty-Six Foot Pavement Bor-
dered by Shade Trees
Work Being Pushed.


The question Of streets-puttlng In
more hard surface roads In Fort Pierce
= which has long been the uppermost
thought in every citizens mind and
the subject Of much discussion in the
council chambers, has at last reached
a stage where results will be accom-.
plished.
AT a special meeting Of the council
Friday afternoon, called by President
Whyte for the purpose of considering
the proposition, contracts were made
which will result In a decided improve
ment in our streets. A contract was
made with the East Coast Cattle Com.
pany for rock az their pit about three
miles west Of town, 1t the rate Of ten
cents per cubic yard. Another agree
ment was mpde With Coats & Co., and
g. W. Dfawdy 70 furnish two teams
for hauling the rock and depositing it
on the streets At aI.0O per cubic yard.
It was decided BY the council to
first rock Orange avenue from the rail-
road 10 Pine street, thence north on
Pine street to Palmetto avenue. A
resolution was passed instructing all
property owners On those streets above
named TO place curbings twelve
feet from the street boundary on
either side, These curbings will allow
q rock road about 40 feet wide, with an
eight foot side walk and four foot
space for shade trees on each side.
The rock Is to be about nine inches
deep, with the larger and fiat pieces
on. the bottom, while the finer rock
on top. The solid portions under
meath will prevent the disappearance
Of the fine rock thus allowing It to
harden with smooth surface.
Tuesday morning hauling was begun
and at noon the work was we'll under
way. Six men ere employed at the pit
digging rock and loading wagons, and
on the streets two men aye grading as
it is dumped by The teauls. The street
committee Of the couOsil are superin-
tending the work and keeping close
wa5ch as to the efficiency Of the work.
Alderman Tucker, Edge and Nc
Carly, who compose this committee
are straining every nerve TO accom-
plish the work as quickly as possible,
Another man will be added TO the
street force TO put in the curling.
When this stretch OF the two streets
is finished it will greatly improve the
appearance Of that part Of the town.
The paving was begun at the railroad
on Orange avenue. It will continue
east to Pine street, thence north pas

avenue, thus lntersectipg the shelled

pAUpERIsM IS ON THE INCREASE
Report of Census Department Shows 10000 Inmates
United States Alrnshouses Last Year.

per population is shown by the fact
that of the total who were in aims
houses at some time during 1904
81 ,412, 40. 9 per cent, were admitted
in that year, and "a, 1879, or 1875 per
cent discharged. This mobility of
the almshouse population suggests
that many inmates are able to pro-
vide for their own support for a
part of the year at least, since about
three-fourths, ID. 6 per cent. of those
discharged were discharged to
their own keeping" rather than to
the care of relatives or friends.
How 1t Affects Negroes.
The bureau further states that the
negro paupers do not constitute so
large a proportion OF the almshouse
population as negroes form of the
general population, a probable ex-
PLANTATION of which is that negroes
are represented in the almshouses
in accordance with the provision
made for them rather than their ne
cessity. The forelgn-born whites
show a greater tendency toward
pauperism than the native whites.
That pauperism is in large meas
ure a concOmitant of age and its ac-
companying evils is shown by the
large percentage go at least 5C
years of age and the rapid increase
in the number of almshouse pau
pers in each of the succeeding quin.
quennial age periods between 30
and 65 years, after which the high
death rate prevents any further in
crease. OF the total number of pau
pers in the United States in 1904
nearly twO-thirds were mentally OF
physically defective. More thar
three-fourths of the paupers ole
enough to work were incapacitated.
OF the almshOuse inmates in 1904
Ill died during the year, o
which number more than two-thirds
were at least 80 years Of age.
Concluding, the census bureau
says that of the paupers who were
at least 10 years of age 47.8 pei
cent had been laborers and serv
ants, 10 per cent. engaged in manu-
featuring and mechanical industries
and 27.3 per cent occupied with az
ricultural, transportation and Othel
outdoor pursuits. More than three
fourths of the female paupers hat
| been servants.

capable of sending machine forward

at the same time of firing hundred
shots a minute is the latest death deal
ing device about to be patented by s.

For the past two years Mr.. MCLEAN
has been experimenting. His device is
expected to make the automobile a
popular engine of war. The battery
works automatically, firing shells one
and a half inches in diameter. The bat
terry is operated by a chauffeur from an
unexposed position at the rear of the
machine. a turn of crank regulating
the speed and the firing apparatus.

FAMILY is AGAIN POISONED
UNKNOWN POISON is PUT IN THE
COFFEE THIS TIME.
Southern Portion of Thomas County
Aroused Over Third Attempt to
Kill the Futch Family.

A Townsville, Ca, dispatch says
for the third time in two weeks an at
tempt was made to poison the mem
bers of the Futch family, prominent
people living near1Metcalfe, in the
southern part of Thomas county.
Mrs. Alice Futch and her sons,
Allen and John, were victims of the
last attempt. Not until next morning
were the first two out of danger, but
the latter was not so sick.
The previous attempts were suppos-
ed to have been made by means OF
milk, and corn meal. This time it
seems that the poison was put in the
coffee. Strength is given to this
theory by the fact that John Futch
drank but little of the coffee.
Since the two former attempts the
family has kept q close watch on all
it's food supplies. Everything has
been kept locked In order to guard
against repetition of the crime.
The poisoned coffee was Kept in a
large mill, in a locked room. There
is a hole in the roof directly above
the mill and the theory is advanced
that the poison must have been drop
ped through the hole into the coffee
mill. Readers of the detective litera-
ture will recall that this was the meth.
Cd pursued in Conan Doyle's book
THE Sign Of the Four"
The nature of the poison is moi
known, and will probably be discov'
cred only when samples, which have
been sent to the state board of health
are analysed. The poison produces
intense nausea and depression anC
the victims prayed for death.
1t was at first supposed that the at
tempts we're made by negroes discharg
ed from the family service, but the
repetition and fiendish ingenuity O.
the deeds, lead to the belief that ar
educated and fearless person is re-
spOnsible.
The Metcalfe community is IN
state of intense excitement, and lit
tie else than the mysterious poisoning
is discussed on the streets OF Thomas
Vile.

A SUBMARINE FOREST.
Wonders of the OHshOre Sierras, -
Coast Range of California.

Along the great blue current OF
Japan that sweeps down the Califor-
MIA coast is strung a chain of islands.
They are the SUBMITS of offshore sier-
ras, a coast range Of California that
has been partly overwhelmed by the
sea. All have peculiar beard, or pro-
tecting growth of weed, that cOnsti-
tutes a perfect forest about them, q
giant seaweed growing in water sixty
or more feet in depth and forming a
natural wave break and home for
countless marine animals. The vines
are sometimes 100 feet in length, vast
cables, with broad, crimpled leaves OF
a dark olive hue, which assume grace
full shapes in the tide.
When the visitor peers down into
the turquoise water the scene is often
a revelation. A new world is opened
I'D and the real beauties of oceanic or
submarine scenery are appreciated.
The great leaves are carried by the
fitful currents that sweep these islands
in every direction. Sometimes they
are extended at full length and appear
like horde of green snakes. Again
they lie down upon the surface, list
less and dropping, taking myriads Of
shapes and forming hooks and corners
of great beauty.
So attractive are these forests that
what is known as the water glass has
been elaborated into a glass bottOmed
boat, which has several large plate
glass windows through which the pas
sengers may look down into the kelp
forests and view a panorama Of the
sea. These boats range in size from
rowboats to sidewheel steamers, so ar
ranged that they can float over the
forest and view it's wonders up and
down the coast.-Chicaco News.
