they are moving slowly, though faster
than last week. in Florida where all
the Strawberries are now coming from
there is bad weather. though some of
the berries received are fancy and sell
well. The majority, however, are bad
and sell slowly. Lakeland is sending
the largest shipments and the best
stock. Large shipments will arrive
about the middle of February. Ship
ments have been heavier since the
holidays. Letters received here by
handlers of Strawberries from their
shippers and correspondents state
that the crop of berries from Florida
will be small this year.

The Sight Was Pitiful.

\ large number of people gathered
around the convicts being transferred
from Ocala to Perry at the union de-
pot the other night. Many of the pris-
oners were known to the people here
and some conversed with them. They
were given dinner here. and while all
showed good treatment, and were in
good spirits, the spectators sympa-
thized with them, and especially with
the two white men. The convicts in
the state certainly have hard time,
and the present diabolical system of
selling them in slavery should be alb
olished. Let the state build peni-
Tertiary and work her own convicts,

plov them at good pricces per capita

BIG NAVAL BATTLE AT SEA.
Not Iron clads but Great Monsters
OF the Deep-Fisht the FIGHT Of
Death.

Passengers of a White Star liner
from Liverpool recently witnessed an
exciting battle between a whale. sew
eral swordfish and a thrasher shark
The fight lasted for more than an
hour.
The combatants were first sighted
about IL o'clock in the morning. saws
the New York News. A great dis
turbance was noticed in the water
dead ahead about a mile from the
ship. Just what the trouble was was
not ascertained until the ship was
within half a mile of the scene of the
encounter. Then the passengers saw
a big whale beset by half a dozen
large swordhsh. and a monster thrash
er shark, the fiercest and most vera
cious of his kind. The water was
being dashed into foam, which was
tinged with blood. 1t was evident that
the fight had not been in progress
long. as the combatants seemed to be
active.
The whale was flashing the water
with his tail and was standing off his
antagonists, although he was greatly
outnumbered. Several of the sword
iish would attract his attention in
front while others would steal around
TO attack him broadside. The thrash
er's great tail was busy failing the
whales back at every opportunity.
The passengers were spellbound by
the sight. and their sympathy was
with the whale. AS the battle con-
tinued the water Tor several hundred
yards about was dyed deep red. The
whale was terribly gashed in many
places by the swordfish, which moved
with incredible speed, and it was only
occasionally that the whale was able
10 strike with effect. Each time a
swordgsh was hit it seemed to take no
further interest in the battle.
Before the ship was out Of sight
the thrasher was disabled, a blow of
the whales big tail striking him full
on The head. one II the passengers
who had a long pair of glasses said
nc saw the whale swim away and that
the swordhsh did not follow him.
