ARTHUR R. CARTNEL JR.
KILLED IN SERVICE
Ran Down by Train While
Guarding Nassau Creek
Bridge.

From Jacksonville on Wednesday
evening came the sad news that Ar
thur r. Cartmel, Jr., formerly of Pa
latka, a member of Company A, First
Separate Battalion, First Regiment,
National Guard of Florida, was kill
ed about 9 o'clock on Tuesday night
while doing guard duty on the Mas
sau Creek bridge, near Fernandina.
He was run into and knocked from
the bridge by a Seaboard Air Line
train from Savannah. His body had
not been recovered at 1880 the fol-
lowing morning.
From the Metropolis of Wednesday
evening it is learned that Privates
Cartmel and Black were on guard
at the bridge, and when they saw
the train approaching ran along the
ties toward a platform to one side of
the track and which would provide
safety Private Black reached the
platform in safety, but Cartmel was
overtaken, hit by the engine and pitch
ed into the water. Had he been con-
scous when striking the water, he
would probably have dloWned as he
was unable to swim. He may have
beer killed by the locomotive; if no
and rendered unconscious by the i'm
pact, his death by drowning woult
have been certain.
Immediate search of the waters wa
instituted, but without result up t.
late Wednesday night.
Young Cartmel was the son of MI
and Mrs. Arthur r. Cartmel, for ma
ny years among the most highly es
| teemed residents Of Palatka. III
: family moved to Jacksonville some
thing like II years ago, and are Nv
- ing at 1OS W. Seventeenth street tha
, city. Before enlisting for the army
young Cartmel was in the employ o
the Peoples Bank Of Jacksonville
= He was some % or % years Of age
v He is the first Florida soldier to Civ
his life in the service of his countr
q in the present war.
, All over Palatka, in every HON
, where his parents are known and tn
/ boy remembered as happy young
, ster, there are heartfelt expression
| Of sympathy for the bereavcd parent
. and sister.

Judge Wills and The Flag.

judge James r. Wills was the ora
tor on the occasion of 4 Flag Rails
ing" ceremony at Starke a week or
more ago. Of his grafton the Starke
Telegraph says:
CDR. Freeman introduced Judge
J. 7. Wills, the orator of the day.
Judge Wills entered the pergola and
every ear was strained to not miss a
word of what he had to say. Judge
Wills, besides being one of the fore
most orators of Florida is of such sim
cere nature that he could not pos
sibly utter a sentiment that he did
not feel in his heart. This was well
known by his audience and they hung
upon his word. Disdaining all hack
neyed expressions he presented a host
cf original thoughts on the subject of
patriotism. His speech was not
long, but every word went home, and
when he ended, and a deafening ap-
plaus had been given him, everyone
of his hearers had gained in patriot
ism, love of humanity and pride of
| country"
