Some More Tarpon.

That there is plenty Of tarpon, and
some of the best fishing in the st.
Marks river near the Light House, and
all around on the Gulf coast south Of
Tallahassee no one can doubt. Last
Saturday Mr.. Frank Duval came up
from st. Marks with another Silver
King that weighed 1876 LIZ pounds, that
he succeeded in landing the night be-
fore, and another one was landed and
several more hangs on the same trip.
Mr.. B. M. Gates, M. w. Braswell and
others were with him, and they had
great sport II took little over two
hours to conquer and land his fish-ship,
but he was a good one when he was
finally taken from the wet. Just why
tarpOn fishermen, who enjoy the sport.
do not come to st. Marks, where it is
sure and certain thing in the season,
after these great game fish, we are at
a loss to know; but, it is perhaps, be-
cause we have not thoroughly adver.
tised tarpon fishing, just as we have
neglected to advertise other drawing
and profitable attractions and advant-
ages. There is no section of Florida
that can offer more Of all sorts Of in
ducements, and none that advertises
them less. It pays to advertise all
things at all times.

She Drives from Tallahassee to l4acor

The Macon Telegraph Of yesterday
has the following about well known
Jacksonville lady, the wife of Frank
Leidy, the printer, who moved up 10
Tallahassee a few months ago:
."Alone ira Ewo-hOrse buggy from
Tallahassee, Fla, to Macon, a trip Of
two hundred and forty-eight miles, was
the very recent experience of Mrs. F. L.
Leidy, of the former city. She arrived
m Macon yesterday about 8 o'clock, ia
the worse for her long and hazardous
journey. Mrs. Leidy left the Florida
capital last Tuesday morning and was
en- route seven days. She passed over
miles of road wholly unaccOmpanied,
but, as she says, never afraid. Always
by her side was a revolver which, how
ever, she did not have occasion to use. {"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The week opens with but little change
in the conditions. The recovery of the
stock market from the depression of
five months ago does not find a Corre-
spending movement in industrial cir
clcs There is. however. said to be
greater feeling of confidence on the
part of those engaged in business. and
this marks a radical change in the stu
alton. and one that is looked upon as
important. When this state OF mind
arrives at what is believed to be the
logical end then the volume of business
will begin to expand, and preparations
Will be made for future wants.
In the view that the stock market al
ways anticipates happenings in the
commercial world, it may be concluded
Is preliminary to a widening vi the
scope of the business of the country.
What has happened in the general
stock market has not been without
parallel in the local stock market. al
though the operations in Wall street do
not necessarily have an influence To-
cally, yet there is undoubtedly an in
lively at the center there is IL feeling
of greater confidence here.
The local market along certain lines has
de> eloped quite rapidly has the gen
eral market IN It's recovery from the w
preston of few months back. one
example can be given in the case of the
preferred stock of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company, which at one
time was offered at or about CIV. while
today. rising about two points from the
closing bid level of Saturday. a bid of S2l2
was made for the stock, but without re-
suit.
Other securities on the local list also
show the influence of the change in senti-
ment or of conditions which has taken
place during the past few months. Al
the same time, during nearly the whole
of this period. these corporations have
had hanging over them the threat which
commonly menaces the public service
companies during session of Congress
that something will be done that will prove
to he injurious to their future Thus far.
at any rate, nothing of the sort has oc-
Cured. and it would be difficult. from
search of the statute books, to show any
legislation in the past which has proved
to be permanently injurious to such in
tereStS
1t is quite evident that the view which
is now being taken, although the outcome
is still shrouded in doubt is that no UNI
favorable legislation is going to be enact
ed at the present session of Congress-
Naturally this is an important cOnSidera-
ton i'm the local stock market. for the
public utility securities are classed among
the most active on the list and the bulk
of the business done comes from tina;
source
