CHARTER BILL
NOT PASSED BY
SENATE AS YET
MEASURE WAS SIMPLY READ
AND PLACED ON CALEN-
= OAR: AWAITS APPROVAL
OF WARD

The Tallahassee correspondent
of The Associated Press, which
represents The Citizen, was in err
ror when he informed this paper
of the passage of Senate Bill 1899,
creating a new city charter. AS
a matter of fact, the legislation
was not completed but was read
in the Senate for the first time
and placed on the local bill calen-
dar, which gives Senator Ward
the opportunity for amendment.
This is expected he will do in the
form of a referendum to give the
electorate the privilege to accept
or reject the charter at the next
city election in November.
The corrected Associated Press
dispatch to The Citizen follows:
Tallahassee. Fla.
May IS. 1888.
House Bill 1899. introduced by
Representative PapY. was read
for the first time in the Senate
last night and placed on the
local bill calendar. II was not
passed by the Senate as reported.
In its present status il may be
called upon for an amendment or
passage any time Senator Ward
asks for Senate approval TO take
il up.

new VESSEL
NEARLY READY
FOR SERVICE
CABLE SCHOONER NOW AT
CURRY'S DOCK AWAITING
ARRIVAL OF SAILS TO BE
BENT ON

Schooner Western Union, de-
signed by and constructed under
the supervision of Loxley Arch,
is lying at the dock OF the Will
liam Curry's Sons Co.. and is al
most in readiness to leave for
cable work under C. r. Stead
man, cable master for the West
ern Union Telegraph Co.
Practically the entire force
which was employed in building
the schooner has been laid off,
their work finished, and the re-
naming members of the con-
struction crew are employed in
placing the finishing work on
the vessel.
To the inexperienced eye there
seems that nothing is needed ex-
cept the sails which were made
in Mobile and are expected to be
received within the next few
days by the Thompson Interests,
owners of the schooner.
However there are a number
of details yet to be done before
the word will be said that all is
in readiness and the ship ready
for the sea and its class of work.
The first assignment, said
Cable Master Steadman will be
to visit a point about 80 miles
from Key West where break in
the Number A cable to Punta
Rassa has been reported and
which must be attended to as
soon as possible.
The Western Union is of 80
tons gross, is powered by twin
engines and will carry leg of
mutton sails and jib. Old heads
along the water front are of the
opinion that she will prove fast
vessel as well as one of beautiful
lines.

NEW SPECIMEN
PUZZLES ROMERO

ice Romero. in charge of
the Key West Aquarium is
anxious to find the name and
classification of a specimen
which was caught in one of
the traps used by employees
which are continually bring
ing up some queer looking
animals but which have been
successfully named until this
one appeared.
The crustacean. for that is
what ii is. has a body about
three inches in length. which
resembles a shrimp. except
that il has several very pro-
nounced colorings. and is pro-
vided with three sets of
claws. Two of them are
about four inches long and
there are two on either side
about one and a half inches.
and much smaller in size.
There are also eight long
filaments projecting from the
head of the animal which are
being continually waved
about in the tank. in which
the animal is being kept. and
these filaments seem to be
used the same as are the
whiskers of a cat.
Mr.. Romero has looked
through all of the books he
has with pictures and de-
scriptive article on sea life
but has been unable to find
in what classification the
specimen is. and has asked
several scientists who have
been visiting the aquarium
to place the specimen. but so
far has been unable TO find
one who knows what the
animal is.
