FAILED TO
FIND PROPERTY
SHERIFF VAN PELT PAID VISIT
TO POINT WHERE MUCH SUF-
FERING WAS ENDURED.

Although search was made by the
sheriff and others in the party, none
of the belongings of Sheriff Van Pelt
lost across the bay during the hurri
cane, when the sheriff and his little
son came near losing their lives, were
recovered last Sunday when the sher
if, with a number of others visited
the point where he spent hours OF
suffering and misery.
The sheriff, his little son, Mr. and
Mrs. LeBaron Gonzalez and son, and
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Durham, formed 9
pleasure party that was across the bay
when the hurricane struck this sec
ton. The house they were occupying
was carried away, and those who sur
vived spent hours in water almost tC
their necks, finally reaching the home
of AL Durham, but not before Mrs
Gonzalez and little son mad beer
drowned
The visit of the sheriff Sunday was
more to visit the scene where he
endured such suffering than to recover
any of the belongings which were
carried away when the house was de
stroyed. None of those who were with
him when the hurricane struck the
place, cared to make the visit.

ANOTHER ADDlCKS
LIE is NAILED
STATEMENT THAT. HE AND Du.
POINT MADE JOINT FIGHT ON
ALLEE A FALsEHooD.
specIaI to The Journal.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The joint can
of Senator Alice, ex-senator Ball, and
Senator-elect, Dupont, on Presidents
Roosevelt, gives the lie to the state
ments of ]. Edward Addicks that
Colonel Dupont and himself were al
lies in the fight against Senator Alice
No one who knows Addicks takes any
stock in his statements unless in black
and white, for he boasts that he is
bound by nothing except in writing,
and then only if he can't get out Of it,
but as some persons not familiar with
his untruthfulness might be led to
believe his allegations as to an al,
lance with Col Dupont, it is a source
of annoyance to both Messrs Alice
and Dupont to have them in circula-
ton.
Where Addicks gets his money to
dabble in Delaware politics is mys-
terry, for he has been heralded as prac-
tically bankrupt for some years.
Senator Alice has no doubt of his re-
election, and will have the support of
Senator-elect Dupont. Many of the
people think the latter is connected
with the E. l. Dupont Powder com
pany, often referred to as the Powder
Trust" This is mistake, as it is his
nephew who is president of the COM
pany. 1t is doubtful if Colonel Dupont
has even any stock in the company:
certainly he has no connection with
its management.

THE ELDER TREE.
Once Held In High Esteem M q Cure
For Epilepsy.


For Epilepsy.
Although tradition tells us that it
was on an elder tree that Judas hang
ed himself, great virtue has long been
attributed to it as cure for epilepsy.
The origin of this belief may be found
in the following quotation from an old
book Of charms:
'In the month Of October, little
before full moon, pluck twig of elder
and cut the cane that is between two
of its knees, or knots, in nine pieces.
Bind these pieces in piece of linen,
hang this by thread about the neck
so that they touch the spoon offthe
heart, or the sword formed cartilage,
and that they may more firmly stay in
their place bind them thereon with q
linen or silken roller wrapped around
the body till the thread break Of itself.
The thread being broken and the roller
removed the charm is not to be touch
ed at all with the bare hands, but
should be taken hold of by some In
strument and buried in a place that
nobody may touch it.
OF course unless the instructions
were followed strictly complete cure
could not be assured. There is another
superstition about the elder which
doubtless has saved many a boy a
stout caning-namely, that it hinders a
child's growth if used as an instru-
ment of punishment--Sundny Maya
zine.

walking to Health.

When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the exertion it
is the easiest and pleasantest thing to
walk right into health. OF course there
is no virtue in dawdling walk. The
slow and languid dragging Of one foot
after the other, which some people call
walking, would tire an athlete; it ut
terry cxhausts a weak person, and that
is the reason why many delicate peo-
pie think they cannot walk. To de-
rive any benefit from the exercise 1t is
necessary to walk with light, elastic
step. which swings the weight Of the
body so easily from one leg to the 9TH
er that its weight is not felt and which
produces a healthy glow, showing that
the sluggish blood is stirred to action
in the most remote veins. This sort
of walking exhiarates the whole body,
gives tone to the nerves and produces
lust that sort Of healthful fatigue
which encourages sound, restful sleep.

NO SALE OF
STORE BUILDING
NO TRUTH IN REPORT THAT MO.
RENO PROPERTY ON PALA-
FOX STREET HAD
BEEN SOLD.

A report was in circulation yester-
day afternoon and generally credited
that Louisville capitalists had pur-
chased the store Building at the cor
ner of Palafox and Intendencia
streets, occupied by VIM. Johnson &
Son, and owned by Mrs. NJ. ]. Moreno
1t was stated that the price paid
was S105,000 and that purchasers in,
tended erecting a five-story building
on the site.
There is absolutely no truth in the
report, according to parties who are
in a position to know whereof they
speak. Those who have authority tC
speak stated that the building had moi
been sold or was it expected that
such would be the case, although a
report to that effect had in some man
ner gained circulation.

this belief by proving that badness

BOAT LOADED WITH BAYMENj
OVERTURNED IN BAY

A boat loaded with about thirty
baymen. VINO were leaving the wharf
for one of the ships in the harbor,
overturned yesterday morning about
o'clock, between Palafox and Baylen
street wharves, and for a few mo-
ments the water was filed with men
struggling to get to the wharves or
the upturned boat.
The boat was in tow of the naphtha
launch Lucille and the men were in
the employ of Stevedore Marion
Qulna. A quick turn by the launch
was the cause of the capsizing, and
but for the fact that other boats came
10 their rescue, some OF the men would
have had hard struggle to reach
shore In safety.

INANDAMU5WRIT
SUED OUT BY
SHERIFF
To Compel Circuit Clerk to
Show Cause Why He
Has Not Signed
Warrant.

An alternative writ of mandamus
has been granted by Judge Palmer,
presiding over the courts Of this dis
trict in the place of Judge Carter
which directs A NJ. Mcmillan as clerk
OF the Board of County Commission.
ers, to show cause On October 18th
why he mas failed to sign warrant
for SIS 900 in favor of Sheriff j. CYAN
Pelt. as directed by resolution by the
Board Of County Commissioners.
The mandamus proceedings were
brought a few days since by Geol gt
7. Morgan, as counsel for the sheriff
and yesterday he received notice that
application for the writ had been
granted and the clerk directed tC
show cause on the above date at
Vernon.
Some time since, it is said, the state
auditor. in checking up the accounts
of Escambia county, stated that the
county die not have authority to pay
to the sheriff the sum of $500 per
month for the purpose of paying a
janitor at the county Jail, but did nave
the authority to pay that official the
sum of rs cents per day for servant
hire.
The board had the matter under dis
cussion for some time, the sheriff ap
pcaring and making a statement, and
it was finally decided to allow the
sheriff the $500 per month provided
he make an itemized statement of how
the money was expended. This he
declined to do, and it was then decided
to allow him the lump sum of $500
per month for such a purpose.
1t now seems that the warrant was
not issued, and the sheriff has brough.
proceedings against the clerk of the
board to compel him to show cause
why it has not been issued.
