The trial of Robt. McNamee and
Garcia for assault upon Otero, the
editor of Spanish paper, took
place in Tampa last Thursday and
the jury brought in verdict of guilty,
but Judge Gordon, after stating that
tie finding of the jury was in &c
cordance with the law and the evil
dence fatty refused to pass sentence
upon the defendants saying that
he would sooner resign his office.
The assault was provoked by an ar
ticle published by Otero in his paper,
FL Progreso, which was very insult
ing TO Mr.. McNamee.

remanded complaining nonresident

VIII Not Lose Him.
Frank Mayes, the brilliant editor OF
The Pensacola Journal, is seeking
new worlds to conquer, and has
bought the Dispatch, the only morn
ing daily OF Mississippi's metropolis
-Meridian-and will conduct its at
fairs in the future. We are glad to
know that we are not to lose Mayes
from the FLORIDA journalistic field, as
he will continue to direct the affairs
of his excellent Pensacola Journal.
We wish him unlimited success with
his new Standardization Enter

Sermons Of Rev. SIbIey.
Our school is the leader toward the
growth of our thriving little burg.
Many other buildings are spoken OF
which we hope to see under construc-
ton soon. A series of meetings has
just closed at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. j. c. Morton, assisted by
Rev. j. S. Sibley, of Pensacola, con-
Quoted the services, and six acceS-
sionS to the church was the result.
Rev. Sibley's sermons are long to be
remembered by those who heard him.
He preached to a fun house TWICE
day for four days. To show the ap-
probation his hearers had for him a
purse of twenty-five dollars was
| raised for his expenses in a very
short time.-Quincy Moon.
VIII Make it Success.
Frank L. Mayes, editor of The Pen
sacola journal, and B. s. Bernard, ad-
vertising manager of that paper, have
closed a deal for the Meridian, Miss,
Dispatch. Mr.. Bernard will remain
in Meridian and take charge of the
business management of the paper,
which alone ensures its success. Mr..
Mayes says he has put a good deal Of
money into the Dispatch, and that it
will be as near like The Journal as
he and Mr.. Bernard can make it.
which is another guarantee of pros
perity. Meridian is the largest city
in Mississippi. having over 10000 pop
| ulaton, has FIVE railway systems en-
tering it, with forty to fifty passenger
trains day, and one of the finest
| union passenger stations in the south.
it is the commercial metropolis Of
Mississippi and is In the heart of one
of the most productive cotton sections
of that state, with an energetic and
progressive population. C. S. Jacobs

Decisions by Judge Wolfe.

OcCtStOuS py SuOSc "OuC
Two very pretty law points were
decided by Judge Wolfe here last
week in a case of the Mizell Live
Stock Co. against the j j. McCaskill
Co. that are of more than passing in
terest, and are well worth noting by
the people who have to deal with
mortgages and the like. Without
going into detail it may be said that
the decision was to the effect that
where paper purports to be an
agreement of conditional sale, if any
other property than that involved in
the case it becomes a mortgage abso.
lutely, and can not be held as an
agreement of sale in which the title
to the property is held by the vendor,
but must be foreclosed the same as
if it purported on its face to be a
mortgage. The other point is that
the description of property in mort
gage must be definite enough so that
there may be no installing it for any
other property. For instance: A mort
gage on "one bay horse about six
years old would not hold, because
there might be a hundred horses OF
that description, but the description
must be positive, as for instance:
zone bay horse with certain white
spots (naming them) or certain
held that the name of a certain horse
taken in connection with the color
and age, etc., would be sufficient, but
the description must be positive.-De

Sponge Diving Season Opens.

SPOhSC SNut9 ScdSOn SpCHS
On Thursday, October ], the season
for sponge diving operations open
ed. Extensive preparation for this
| occasion has been in progress for
some time and the last two weeks
have been busy ones among the boat
operators and crews in fitting out the
boats for this, the first trip under the
diving process this year 1t is eseti-
mated that between SO and so diving
boats, besides feet of schooners
viii be in commission this season.
There seems to be great difficulty in
obtaining crews for the fleet, owing
to considerable percentage of the
crew who were here last season be-
ing engaged in other pursuits else
where (which they claim to be more
remunerative) and do not desire to
return. IT is stated that this coldi-
ton, which occasions a shortage of
men to man the boats. is an incen-
tive on the part of the crews being
shipped to exact conditions unfavor-
able to the interests of the operators
Quite a number of boats have obtain
ed crews and are out. and others will
sail as soon as they are manned
Estimates place the number of Greeks
engaged directly or indirectly in the
sponge industry here at about 1000.

A Good Game.

The ball game advertised for
2:30 o'clock between Falls City
and PawneeCity Tuesday, owing
to the lateness of the train was
not called until after 1 o'clock.
but the crowd that witnessed
the game were well repaid for
their patience as there was fast
snappy playing throughout the
game. The teams were evenly
matched, and many good plays
were made, each side having a
fine double play to their credit
Pryor was in the box for Falls
City and did fine work, holding
the visitors down to four hits,
and allowing only three men to
walk. Heretofore Prior has
been playing with what was
known as the kid team. but with
the record made on Tuesday we
guess he will size up pretty
well with most of the amateurs.
Tackley did the twirling stunt
for Pawnee and but two hits
were secured, while four men
were presented bases on balls.
Our boys have been a little
shy on substitutes but on Tues
day tried young Heck, Reavis
and Poteet and found them good
material, young Heck scoring
one of the runs, and now we
feel competent to meet any OF
our neighboring teams.
Lew Overden of Pawnee City
acted as umpire and did very
satisfactory work. Following
is the score by innings:
Falls City..,..0-0-1-2 -0-0-1-0-0-4

Decoration Day.

Saturday, Decoration day, was
duly observed in this city. Owing
to the uncertainty of the weather
the program was rendered at the
court house instead Of the ceme-
terry, and at the appointed hour
the court room crowded to its ca
pacity by the loyal ones who had
gathered to pay tribute to the
dead. The program was most
interesting and consisted of selec-
tions by the double quarte e,
prayer by Rev. Mastin, the Lin
coin Gettysburg speech by Rev.
Dunkleberger and a vocal solo by
Jessie Paxton. The feature of
the program was the address by
Rev. Neide, which was eloquently
delivered and we'll received. After
the benediction by Rev. Schuman
a number of the G.. A. RS and
w. h. C.'s went to the cemetery
and placed flowers on the graves
of their departed comrades.

Mr. Weaver Not a Candidate for
Congress.

The News of last week inti-
mated that Hon. A. ]. Weaver
would be candidate for congress
at the fall primaries against Con-
gresham Pollard. 1t says sew
eral complimentary things about
the brilliancy and ability of Mr..
Weaver with which The Tribune
fully agrees, but upon interview
ing Mr.. Weaver we learn that he
is not a candidate and that there
is no foundation for the report.
He states that he has neither the
time nor the inclination to become
a candidate for any public office,
that he is fully occupied with his
private interests and expects to
leave within the next ten davsfor
Oregon and Washington where
he will spend the coming six
weeks in looking after his tim Der
and land investments in these
states. He further stated that he
would return in time to partici-
pate in the campaign and expect
ed to see his friend Congressman
Pollard renominated and elected.
Mr.. Weaver and Mr.. Pollard at
tended the State University at
the same time and served together
in the state legislature and enter
tain the friendliest feeling for
each other.
While the Tribune would be
glad to see Mr.. Weaver in Con-
gress, because of his ability and
character and believes he would
creditably fill the seat formerly
occupied by his father, ] Il d G e
Weaver, we believe he shows wise
judgment in endorsing Congress-
man Pollard for a second term.
Mr.. Pollard has made an excel
lent Congressman and will un-
doubtedly be chosen to succeed
himself, The Tribune is also
pleased to note that Mr.. Weaver
will participate in the coming
campaign in behalf of the repub'
lican ticket, as he is acknowledged
to be one of the best orators in
the state.
