|NGR|D IS
NOW SAFELY
M00RED
Alongside of Comnandancia
Wharf, Having Been
Floated Yesterday
Morning.

The Norwegian ship Ingrid, one of
the largest vessels blown ashore
during the September hurricane, was
floated yesterday morning about 1890
o'clock, and is now safely moored
alongside of Commandments wharf.
The Ingrid was pulled from her posi-
ton by the dredge Craighill after the
latter had dredged around the ship
for several weeks. removing not only
ballast and mud in large quantities,
but also pulling up row of piling
which prevented the vessel from be-
ing moved into deep water.
The contract for floating the ship
was awarded to Lee Kmball of Mo.
bile some weeks ago, and he will re-
ceive for his work over $4,000 the
price agreed upon when he took the
contract.
It was believed by many that much
more work would he required before
the vessel would float, but Mr. Kim
ball succeeded in the work within d
few weeks.
There are now left only two of the
foreign fleet blown ashore during the
hurricane, and these will be ioated
il is believed. within few days. The
vessels are the Heimdahl and the
Alfredo and the work in floating botf
is progressing satisfactorily.

Of
FAIR FLORIDA
Interestingly Discussed by a
New York Paper-Some
Curious Products.

Florida is a strange land, as big
as all New England, or nearly so, and
with wealth untold. 1t takes good
farmer to know his business here,
says the New York Independent, but
there is no lack Of crops for gather
ing and for soil making etc.
The velvet bean needs a sharp
paced team to keep up with its
growth. 1t will make fifty feet of
good hay in a single season and then
leave plenty of fodder for the cows
and a cover crop for winter. When
you come to pillow it under in the
spring you have not only big mass
of humus. but large storage Of nj
trogen added to the soil.
The beggar weed is anything but
a beggar, but is a grass of superb
quality of hay and then forage, and
after that adding nearly as much to
the soil as your velvet bean.
This only begins the story of Flor
ida farming. 1t does not, however,
prevent many of the Florida farmers
from importing their hay from the
north.
Do you know a loquet when you
see one? It has the shape of pear
but the flavor of a cherry. 1t is good
for pies and buildings, and marina
ladies' and for pretty nearly everything
else that the marvellous fruit, the
cherry, is used for. Our New Eng
land mothers would have gone wild
over il.
lyUrV &c nTt n
mise between an orange and stick
of candy-we do not mean in flavor
but in shape and size. The tree, when
loaded with fruit is as beautiful as
rose bush.
: There is not much to create en-
thusiasm about southern city. They
are all of them more or less tawdey
and have a slackness in their ways
of doing business. A cabbage palm
brought out of its native habits with
congenial companions and set in q
dusty door ward is about the meanesl
thing we ever saw. What can one
say about guava bushes and camphol
trees fenced in with wire?
But the country in this state oil
fiowers-well named Florida:
about as rollicking and utterly natur
al a bit of the world as can be con
ceived. In the highlands of the cen
trail part of the state the pine and the
palm meet together.
1t is the north and south in perfec
harmony 1t is the garden spot OF thu
world.

ALASKA STILL
THE ELDORADO
Strikes Are Still Frequent,
But Occasion Less EX-
element Than in
the Old Days.
Special to The journal.

Seattle, Dec. lS.-Alaska is still a
country of frequent rich strikes, and
there is every indication that men
will continue to find gold as long as
they continue to explore the country;
for while hundreds of creeks have
been examined for color, there remain
hundreds more in the country which
is one-fifth as large as the United
States.
A recent ISSUE of a Seattle news
paper contained in an inconspicuous
column three news stories of strikes
in Alaska. Ten years ago, these
would have been sufficient to cause g
stampede. As it was, they were &C
cepted as included in the regular or
der of things.
From Seward came a report which
follows in part: "An important gold
strike has been made on the western
slope of Mt. Mckinley, near the head
waters of the Kuskokwim river. Such
is the information contained in a let
ter to Julian Mott, machinist of Sc
ward, from mining partner. Mott is
considered reliable and the news ha:
awakened much interest in mining
circles here"
This also from Seward-SewarC
in southeastern Alaska, in territory
that has been known TO miners fOl
thirty years: within three miles o
Seward, on Tonsina creek, which
empties into Resurrection bay. ALFRED

|NVEST|Gh ION
To Be MADE BY
OFFICERS
At Fl. Barrancas of Charge
That Soldiers Fired
Into Train.

The statement of Conductor Nc
Cain, of the dummy line, to the eff
feet that he was fired upon several
times Monday night by parties whom
he thinks were soldiers, is to be
rigidly and thoroughly investigated
by the officers in command at Fort
Barrancas, and the latter have as
sured the Pensacola Electric Com
pany officials that If any of their men
are guilty they will be court mar
tailed
The shooting occurred as the dunn
my was returning from its last trip
about II O'Clock Monday night, and
the conductor believes that the men
who fired the shots were soldiers, as
he had trouble with some of the men
as they were on their way to the post.
When the dummy left the city
about 10 o'clock for Fort Barrancas
there were among the passengers
about twenty artillerymen, and when
the train was well under way one OF
them is alleged to have become very
boisterous. When the conductor
went into the car to collect the fares
this soldier refused to pay, and the
conductor Immediately started to
eject him from the train. This Oc-
Cured at PerdidO, and when the con-
| ductor made the move to put the
soldier off others, he said, showed
that they intended seeing that he did
not carry out his intention and one
secured a club or board with the evil
dent purpose of striking the cOnduc'
! tor. when the latter drew his revol'
yer and leveled it upon the crowd OF
men. many of whom scattered and
! left the car, among them being the
man who was the cause of the
! trouble
The train was brought to stop
and Marshal Frank, who was on the
train. found the man who was the
cause of the disturbance and placed
him under arrest, sending him to the
police station.
J The train then proceeded to For
Barrancas. a number of the soldiers
travelling on it TO the post. On the
return trip. near the ice plant be
tween Warrington and the fort, some
shots. supposedly at the conductor. Tn
latter left the train and drawing his
revolver ran towards the spot, return
ing the fire but the parties who free
had fled.
! He reported the trouble to the OF
fcisls of the company upon his ar
rival. and the latter took up the mat
ter with the commanding officers a
/ the post. The electric company OF
lfcials. however, are in hopes that tn
conductor is mistaken in his belle
that the shots were fired by soldier
and at him, and believe that possibl,
some parties who desired to fire thei
reyolvers decided TO do so as IN
: train passed.
The soldier, who was placed unde
