START OF A FLORIDA FEUD.

Mans Farm Built on Coral F1Oated
Away and n NetghbOr Took 1t.
Speaking about feuds," said John l..
HUMPHREYS of Tampa, Fla, II think
| that the strangest, in it's inception, is
one between two families in Marion
County, In our State. 1t came about
this way. You know in our State some
times land disappears during the night
| and man wakes up to find his gar
| den great sinkhole. This is, of course,
| due to the fact that Florida is built on
| coral and not very substantially built
at that, especially in some Of the in
terror counties. Harry Redding had a
| nice patch of Irish potatoes, and Oliver
Vance, his neighbour had what he called
| q farm and near the house was a sink
! hole
zone night Readings potato patch
| disappeared and the next morning he
had a nice large sinkhole filled with
| water where his garden was. The same
night Vance, who had sinkhole when
he went to bed, woke up to find that
the hole was filled with dirt in which
there seemed to be a lot of pebbles
| about the size of a mans fist. Natur-
ally he was surprised, He examined
| the pebbles to find them potatoes, and
after calling the family up they got to
work and gathered in six bushels Of
| potatoes ready for market.
'orhat's where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law
| where mans stock wanders on to the
| nremises of another, without his fault,
he can 60 after it. He argued that the
same doctrine applied to potatoes which
| had wandering habits. For he was very
sure that the potatoes on the vance
| fSrm belonged to him. Vance and his
| friends invoked another principle Of
law that a man owns his land from
heaven to hades and he refused to dig
I'M the potatoes for the benefit of his
neighbor.
"All that happened ten years ago."
continued Mr. HUMPHREYS, "and the
Readings and the Vances are still
armed against each other. Two or three
skirmishes have taken place between
the parties and one of the Vance boys;
IS years old, was wounded by fire from
the enemy.
'They are never spoken to each other
since that eventful night ten years ago.
Lawyers and politicians have gone out
to help them settle their difficulties,
but they were obdurate, and If the feud
grows for twenty years as it has al
ready Florida and Marion County will
nave a feud equal to the best that Ken
lucky has ever produced. Denver Re

SWEDISH HANDICRAFTS.
Peasants Do Much Good Hand Work
Result Is Few Factories.

Sweden is the home of the handicrafts.
In addition to manual training taught in
schools, the most exquisite hand weav-
ing, lace making, brass work, even pot
terry, is done by the peasants. Each dis
trict has its own patterns, which the
peasants make and wear, deeming it I'M
patriotic to have aught to do with pat
terms of other localities.
Because of the handicrafts Sweden has
not many textile factories, says The
Craftsman. although there are some
where conditions of work are, for the
most part. good. The people, however,
are encouraged to continue hand weaving
and to hold to their time honored indus
trial customs rather than to take the
risk of a disturbed economic order due to
a market glutted with shoddy trash In
all Sweden there are today only about
10000 factories of all kinds, employing
in all a little more than 265,OOO work
men-not a great number out of total
population of more than 100000.

NAV Smash Schedules.

Orders given to the chief of police Of
Williamsburg, Pa, to arrest the engi-
neers of all trains which pass through
the borough at a speed of more than ten
miles an hour threaten to disarrange
the schedules of the fast trains on the
Pennsylvania railroad between New
York and Chicago. Unless the trouble
between the railway and the borough
can be patched up this order will mean
a clear loss of nine minutes to through
trains. as the borough is a mile and
half long. In addition there will be so
much further loss in slowing down be-
fore the borough is reached and getting
up speed after it is passed that an
eighteen-hour train will have hard
time in keeping up to it's schedule. AL
legged blocking of the crossings by
freight trains and disregard of other
ordinances by the railway caused the
passage of the drastic ordinance.

postmortem Murder Accomplished by Fiendish Ingenuity of
 Suicidal Suitor.
GAVE POISON TO HIS GIRL
Went Away and Killed Himself. She Ate Deadly Tablets and
 Died In Agony.

Stranger than all the tales of the poi sonings of the Borgias and surpassing all stories of death pacts by disap- pointed sweethearts are the circum- stances surrounding the death at Pat erson, x. J., of Mae Agnes Morton, q young woman of nineteen, who d month after the death of her suitor, James Boucher, by his own hand, fell d victim to the dead man, a murderer in death.
 Only his surpassing belief in the wonderful power of the young wom- ans love for him could have inspired tie far reaching plot and sent the young man 10 his grave confident that his sweetheart. innocent of any inten= tion upon her own life, but trusting i'll the efficacy of the potion he had left with her at their sad parting, would soon follow him to the hereafter
 It was the law of the Roman Catho lie church which forbidS the burial of the se!s slai4 i4 c9nSaerated ground that brought to light the remarkable story of love. suicide and postmortem murder. Miss Morton. well connected and socially prominent, who lived with her father, Alexander Norton at - Madison street, Paterson. met some months ago James Boucher, a young man ot excellent ancestry, the nephew of Dl William A. Norval of 3S1 Main street. member of the Paterson board of freeholderS. The young man and won;il became sweethearts, but for some reason there Was objection to their marrying on the part of Miss Morton's family. and after the opposi- tion to their ccu:tship had continued for some time aad had only served to cement the bond of affection between them the young man. uespairing of his suit, decided to leave Paterson.

Towerman, Almost Dead From Wounds, Set Levers With
 Bleeding Hands.
HE FELL DOWN STAIRS.
With Two Deep Clashes In His Head and Internal Injuries, He Climbed Back to His Post of
 Duty.

With blood pouring from two terrible gashes in his head and injured inter- nally, James Scales, twenty-two years old, climbed q steep iron stairway into the signal tower of the Lachawanna railroad at Denville, N. J., and set all the signals against trains. Scales then left the tower and managed to reach his home, two miles distant, where the doctors found his condition critical. Scales was injured by falling from the tower.
 For several hours it was thought that Scales had been murdered and his body carried off and concealed. The first train to be halted by the signals was a passenger. No. 454, with com mutelAs for New York. The engineer stopped his train close to the tower house and climbed the stairs. He found all the switch levers smearcd with blood. There were big splotches of blood on the floor, and. examining the stairs, the engineer found blood stains all the way to the ground. He became convinced that the towerman had been killed and his body removed. He at once telephoned to the Lacka- wanna officials, and detectives were sent out on a special train from Jersey City.
 The sleuths were completely puzzled until the suggestion was made by a trainman that inquiry be made in Scales home. One detective went to the house, while several others remain ed with score of country folk to search in the brush and woods sur rounding the tower in the belief that Scales body might be hidden there.

The 400 mile trip was made under most trying difficult ties, owing to the fact that Brown was In such condition that the policeman was obliged to strap him down to the dog sled. He refused to eat, and Ser geant Field was obliged to force food into his mouth. For four days the jour- hey south was especially arduous, be- cause the madman continuously strug- gled to regain his liberty. At one time a blizzard overlook them, and they were obliged to seek shelter under a huge pine tree, where they were snow ed under for two days. Brown is now safely lodged in the Brandon asylum.

 On Feb. 9 Boucher was found dead iL his room in the Lackawanna hotel in Scranton. Pa. It was at first be- lieved that he had died of heart fail ure, but a further examination showed that his death had resulted from mer- curial poisoning and that he had killed himself.
 Miss Morton, grieving over the tragic death of Boucher and constantly thinking of him, remembered few days ago the tablets in the envelope and took number of them.
 Immediately the girl was taken i'll. and Dr. James Smith was called. The physician diagnosed the case as gas tritis. He prescribed for her. but Miss Morton grew rapidly worse.
 After four days of suffering the phy- sician told her she was going to die. Then she told about the tablets.
 "James left them for me before he went away" she said. "You will find powder from some of them in an en- yelope."
 The physician and the girls father found the envelope and upon examin- ing the contents discovered she had taken corrosive sublimate. The physi- clan questioned her, and she said she had swallowed the dose in entire inno- cence of it's character
