SAILOR ON The RAMPAGE
Sells Pig For Money With Which hsBuy
Booze"


a sailor Cd the British steamer,
l1arne, Was arrested Tuesday for he.
ing drunk and disorderly. He had
been a soldier in the English army
serving in India for several wears
and having served mi, time i'm the
army, short time ago he enlisted as
a sailor on the steamer, Larne, which
is now in this port. A thirst for
drink seemed to Seiz. him on Tues
day and being unable to procure the
money from his master or, fellow
sailors with which to satiate his
thirst, it is said he took possession Of
a pig on board the steamer and car.
rying it to the city disposed of it for
money with which he bought "booze"
and proceeded to .'Ioad up" with the
above result. Besides paying a fine
for a violation Of the city ordinance,
he will be tried for appropria,ing the
property Of the vessel to his own Use
without the consent of the owners,
and will have to pay the duty on the
pig. A costly experience for a few
hours of riches from the effect. of too
much "tanglefoOt."

playing GOOD BALL
I@ n. 4. {. Base Ball Team on the Road
Tor a Series Of Games.

The N. A. G. base ball team, Of
Fernandina, left here last Monday
for a number of games i'm West Flor
ida. Though they met defeat the
hrst two games, they are playing
good ball and hope to return with
the larger number Of gaines played
to their credit.
The first game on the road was
played Tuesday with Monticello, and
Is said to lave heen il splendid eXhi-
bitiOn OF ball play ing, the score stand
ing . to in favor of the home team.
Again Wednesday they were de-
fpated by Monticello to the tune of
to !.
Thursday they went to Live Oak,
where they succeeded in defeating
tho team Of that city i'm a great game
by >cOre of l to 0. In the latter
game, the playing of Walker for our
club was the feature Of the contest.
During the game he gave up only
three hits, struck out thirteen men
and out of four times at the bat
made two single and two double hits.
Today they play Live Oak another
game and tomorrow they go to
White Springs for one game with the
team of that place. They have
strong hopes Of taking both of the
latter games, and it is the wish of
the fans here that their hopes may be
realized.
Next week we may expect to see
6ne or two games on the local
grounds.

will be called for the ratification OF

preIiminaries for actual work will be

The unity of sentiment as ex-
pressed at the first meeting makes
the project a certainty, and the de-
termination with which our most in
tluential citizens took hold of the en-
terprise could not fail of success even
If the undertaking required much
greater expenditure and was of less
importance to the welfare of our city
and county.

in Fernandina subscribe to the full

A R0US|NC MEETING OF
FERNAND|NA CITIZENS
THE BUILDING OF another RAILROAD TO This Place
Settled At last.
Citizens Take up the Proposition and Determine to Garry
it to Successful Conclusions Large Amount Of
Stock Promised by Our Business Men.

The people of Fernandina and
Nassau county have at last adopted
the only plan by which they may
ever hope to have another railroad
and one by which if carried to con-
clusiOns will doubtless give US an
outlet and inlet over two or three
roads.
A meeting of the business men
from all parts of the county was
called by Mr.. S. A. Swami, Presi-
dent Of the Board of Trade, for last
Tuesday afternoon and a large and
enthusiastic crowd was present. Mr..
Swami stated the object of the meet
ing, which had been made known in
the call, and all present gave the
matter their hearty endorsement.
The proposition as set forth at the
meeting was to build the road from
Fernandina to billiard where con-
nectiOn would be made with the A.
G. l.. 1t is further believed that the
road to this point would cause the
Southern to build a connecting link
from st. George, thus affording US
another great SUSTAIN n~ar which
lumber, naval stor*s, etc. would be
brought to this port. And then
again AZ the people of jacksonville
regard as a certainty the extension of
the A. b. 4 A. frun Waycross to
that city, our billiard road would
then have third connection with ii
trunk line t. the great west.
After general discussion of the
proposition, however, nothing def
mite was determined a. to the direc-
ton Of the road nor the objective
point out of Fernandina, that ques-
tiOn being left to u committee of fif-
teen Inen, appointed at the meeting,
together with the early investigation
of all matters pertaining to the con
structiOn of the road and the forum.

of the company and the solicitation
of stock.
After such action is taken by the
