to take the honor of burning Chicago in
1871 from Mrs. O'Leary's COW. Try as

KEEL Of NEW BOAT
ON OCkLAVAHA KUN
Has Been Laid-"Silver
Springs" to 90 on Palatka
Ocala Route.

Mr.. Frank Mathews, the designer
and builder of the pretty passenger
yacht, "City of Ocala," for the Car
michael Daylight Line, between Sill
yer Springs and Palatka, has been
working for several weeks on the
plans and specification for the line s
new vessel, the "Silver Springs" ."
The keel for the new boat has been
laid and Mr. Mathews will now push
the work forward to completion and
expects to have the boat ready for
service before January 1st. The
Daylight Line will then operate a
boat each way each day between Pa

able to accommodate all who wish to
90 by the route.
The new boat will be 60 feet long
and Is feet broad and will have
comfortable seating room, under
government regulations, for seventy
| five passengers, but in a pinch will
carry 100 with all safety. She will
be very beautiful vessel and will
be bv far the largest and best of the
boats to be built or operated on the
river. She will be equipped with two
2O-horsepower engines and twin
screws and will be as swift as hel
sister ship.
This line had the best season last
wear in it's history, and with the one
boat handled 5000 passengers. With
the advertising done then and since
and that which will be done next sea
son, this number is expected to bt
increased to at least seven or eigh
tourists into Ocala to stay in our no
tells than have ever been here before
and if the business is more than dou
bled next season, we will be getting
into the Tourist set"
The company's big freight boat
the first of that kind to be operate
by modern engines and propeller:s
will soon be in commission. She /
all ready for the big engines, whic
have been shipped, and the "G. a
Carmichael" as she will be namec
will soon be in the regular trelgh
business, running all the way throug
from the Springs to Jacksonville

HENNESSY FREED
ON HADEAS CORPUS
Proceedings Before Judge
Wills at Gainesville.

James ]. Hennessy of Jacksonville,
held last week under bond of four
hundred dollars to the grand jury on
the charge of criminal libel by JUS
tice j. E. Marshall, was on Monday
released on writ of habeas corpus
by Judge Wills of the Circuit Court.
The case has been appealed to the su-
preme court.
Judge Wills held that the charge OF
insolvency was not criminally libelous
in that it did not hold the company
up to contempt, ridicule or hatred.
He admitted that the company's bus
mess might have been injured by
such a statement being put in circula-
ton, but not it's character, the fact
of insolvency could be due to
causes over which the company had
no control.
Action might have been had for
civil libel, but the company preferred
not to bring such suit for the reason
that Hennessy could not have paid
any judgment rendered against him
for damages.
1t is thought that the company has
other suits that it will bring against
Hennessy.

WORK Of THE GIRLS
CaHh|NG CLUB
Reviewed by Miss Jessie
Burton. County A gent.

The first demonstration which was
held at San Mateo, was not great
success as canning lesson, but since
then the members of the Putnam
county canning club have had several
very satisfactory demonstrations. AS

onstrations as lessons, and when that
part is over my actual duty is done,
perhaps | should not apologize to our
friends and we'll wishers for the very,
very few cans of vegetables that have
been put up by our girls.
However, the fact remains that un-
less something happens to stir things
up a little we are not going to have
verv much of an exhibition at that
much discussed tri-county fair. Some
of the girls have been very successful
with the glass jar canning but none OF
them seen to take kindly to the TN
can method. Personally | prefer the
tin cans to the glass jars and the out

Vegetables came from the home gard

cans of each at a time and several
different vegetables in a day.
Therefore | am very much IN earn

BIG ROAD MACHINE.
LIFTED FROM RIVER
Under Supervision Of T. j.
Barnett on Saturday.
Passage of St. Johns River Bridge
Restored Early Same Day.


The lifting from the river of the
big Holt tractor and six trailers was
accomplished by $3.50 pm. last Sat
urday a day and a half after they
went through the st. Johns river
bridge.
The contract for raising the engine
and trailers was let by the Holt com
pany to the Palatka Auto & Supply
Co. of this city, and the big under
taking was accomplished by the aid
of the Wilson Cypress Co.'S big
floating derrick, superintended by I.
J. Barnett of the Auto & Supply Co.
"The tractor weighs 23,O5O pounds,
and this" said Mr.. Barnett, "was a
dead weight, filled as it was with mud
and water. But by careful handling
it was finally transferred to lighter
The lifting Of the trailers was easy;
we could throw them out with nc
trouble at all, though they weighed
1000 pounds EACH"
1t was Mr.. Barnett who supervised
the lifting of the Pullman car some
time ago, when it went through the
draw of the East Coast bridge.
As soon as the tractor and trailers
were rescued from the water they
were towed to the Wilson mill anc
landed, and where the needed repairs
will be made under the supervisor o1
Mr.. Barnett. The damages to the
machine and wagons will not exceed
$3.50 to 5000.
The bridge has been temporarily
repaired and vehicles were passing or
Saturday before the engine had beer
lifted. The permanent repairs viii
not be made until after the Fourth
and County Commissioner Curry
thinks that $50 will repair the dam
age. Mr.. Curry who will have charg'
of the work, states that the bridg'
will not be out of commission NOR
than "a hours. He has fixed on Wed
nesday of next week for making tn
repairs.
"The bridge did not break througl
with the weight of the big tractor,
remarked Mr.. Barnett; "it was tn
vibration which caused the bridge t.
part. The accident happened at
point where the bridge had been re
pared, but the work was not properl
done; had it been there would no
have been any accident"

house yesterday noon, call having
been sent to the members elect by
Chairman J. C. Calhoun of this city.
The board organized by re-electing
Mr.. Calhoun chairman and Joseph H.
Haughton secretary. There was real
ly no business beyond this for the
committee. In fact, that is one Of
the features of the new primary law
which has been made plain by the re-
cent campaign-the State and Coun-
ty Executive Committees have been
legislated out of their job, and the
Democratic party in the state now has
no organization in fact.
