Valuable Boat Burns.

The gasoline tug Ruby W., on her
way from Jacksonville TO Crescent City,
caught afirc a few miles above Green
Cove Springs last Sunday about noon
and was totally destroyed. The Ruby
w, was the property of F. A. Virgins
of Green Cove Springs and was com
manded by Capt. II. l.. Black and car
ried crew of two men. The men on
ly abandoned the burning tug when it
was seen that the fire was beyond all
hope of control; then they put on life
preserverS and jumped into the river
They were in the water an hour before
being rescued by the steamer McNeill,
and were later transferred TO a launch
which landed them at Green Cove
Springs
The Ruby w. was built last year at
Green Cove Springs by Mr.. Virgins,
and was valued at $500. She was Is
feet and inches in length by II feet
and inches beam, and feet inches
deep. Her gross tonnage was 10. The
Ruby w. was engaged in the towing
business on the ST. Johns river and tribu-
tarieS.
The fire started by backing through
the Carburetor thus igniling the gasoline
in the feed pipe. The engineer scarcely
had time 10 escape from the engine
room. The boat carried nineteen drums
of gasoline which had TO be abandoned.

Mexican rebels, declared he did not
recognize the United States govern
ment. He made the remark to Thorn
as Edwards, American consul here,
who called at the rebel leaders quar-
ters to deliver message from Secre

The message. belated through diplo.
matte channels, was regarding the
treatment of the American settlers in
northern Mexico by the rebels, grow
ing out of the disarming of the Nor
mon colonists.
General Orozco told Consul Ed
wards he did not receive the Ameri-
can as a representative of the United
States, which government, Orozco
said, he did not recognize. However,
he was glad to see Mr.. Edwards, he
said, and to receive him as an Amer
ican citizen. Orozco accepted the
message from the American consul
without further comment.

THE METHODIST
SUMMER RESORT.
Contract Let for Hotel and
Auditorium OF Methodist
Chautauqua on Ana. =
StaSia Island.

From the St. Augustine Meteor we
learn that the contract for the erection
OF the hotel and auditorium at the
Methodist Assembly, or Chautauqua
site on AnaStasia Island, below South
Beach, 81. Augustine, was let on Tues.
day.
This will be good news 10 the great
body of Southern MethodiSts in Florida
who have been bending much energy
in planning for this great undertak.
ing The Meteor further says:
For weeks men have been working
placing artesian wells on the site and as
a result there will be plentiful supply
OF good wafer. The work OF grading is
soon TO be well under way. The let
ting of the contract for the hotel means
the beginning of work upon it the
moment the ST. Johns Electric Company
has its rails down so that material can
be hauled TO the site.
"The hotel is 10 be of brick and will
be an imposing structure as we'll as one
of permanenCe, being of fireproof con-
struction throughout. simultaneously
with the beginning of work upon the
nolel WOTKmcn WIFI Degln the ConStTuc-
ton OF number of summer cottages
nearby
'Pcople from the interior of the
State have been purchasing many lots
on the site recently and there is every
indication that if the electric company
gets its track through soon there will be
a big summer colony there next summer.
'IhpTn &c fn hoIinpn ,hot
the track will be laid just as soon as the
company can get all of the material on
hand.
"Thc development of AnaStaSia as
summer resort means that ST. Augustine
is coming in TO her own as a year.round
resort. No place has greater advantages
in this regard than the Ancient City"
