For the past three weeks rain mas

tie during that time, on this SIDE
OF the clouds. 1t was a much need
ed rain as about six weeks OF drOuth
had left the ground very dry, orange
leaves were curling and there were
other evidences in the lawns and
shrubs OF the want for c0piOus show
ers. They have come and all Is
changed. While it will cause the
citrus fruit to grow, it has hindered
the ripening and oranges and grape
fruit are not coloring as fast as
we expected they would. With the
exception of color much of the early
budded fruit is ready for the market
and picking has begun. The pack
ing house is open to receive and
ready for the seasons work. The
packing of the first pool, limited as
1t is to the 10th of December, Will
necessarily be very hurried and prob
ably require some night work to ac-
complish the shipping of that which
has been signed for this pool. 1t
has been expected that about $4,000
boxes would go from this section,
but this is probably an over estt-
mate of the amount which will be
shipped. Orange growers are now
praying for the sunshine and cool
or weather under which fruit will
sweeten and ripen. The holding
back of green fruit has been resent
ed by few but 1t will result In
good for the greater number. We

The COUNCIL
ENONERATES
POUNDMASTER

After listening to the report of the
committee named to investigate the
shooting Of Frank Howard by Pound
master Irwin and also argument
against it the city council last even
ing adopted it, and the poundmaster'
so far as that body is concerned,
stands completely eXonerated from
any blame or censure for his act.
The committee reviewed the career
of Howard in the city, declaring that
at least four times he had been ar
rested for drunkenness and that the
last time he was arrested for beg
cling. When he was shot by irwin he
was seeking to escape from him Whlle
in his custody as a prisoner, and,
while the committee in its report did
not favor the taking of human life,
in the case of an escaping prisoner,
where he was only guilty of a misde-
meanor, it held that Irwin only fired
TO scare Howard. and that his shoot-
ing him in the foot was accidental
and therefore, he should not be cen
sured or blamed. 49,
An action for damages for the
shooting of Howard is now pending
in the circuit court against Irwin.
The funds for the maintenance OF
poundmaster will expire on July l
and the council at a former meeting
voted when that time came 10 ue'
clare the office vacant.

BRIDGE FUND
CONTAINS ONLY
ABOUT $4,000

That there is but $500 in the
treasury with which to rebuild the
bridges washed away by the floods
last spring was the announcement of
Councilman Durbin last evening at
the meeting of the council, when, in
behalf of the bridge committee, he
arose to oppose a resolution intro
duced by Councilman Sauter, asking
for the construction of a bridge at
Twelfth street, in Yew Park.
Councilmen Sauter and Huckestein
represented that the bridge is abso-
lutely necessary in that section OF the
city, and they desired one constructed
with concrete abutments.
Durbin opposed the resolution on
the ground that there were other sec
lions in the city demanding bridges
and that the committee desires &c
consider the wants of all before act
ing on any single one. It will be the
policy of the committee, he an
nounced, to expend the money where
it will be of the most service to the
public, and that was the reason why
he desired the resolution defeated
and that the committee be glver
more time.
The committee was given anotheI
week in which to investigate the SUP
ject:
