•Perry Home Journal 8th: “We regret to
learn that the residence of Mr. Isaac- R. Ba-

yesterday evening. The family were absent
from home, and the flames were discovered
by some negroes who were plowing near by.

portion of the household effects—so we are

was doubtless no insurance upon it.”
“Professor” Consignv, who lately under
took the task of walking three hundred
miles in three hundred consecutive hours in
Columbus, successfully accomplished the
feat. He was not very well rewarded pecu
niarily, however, and the EtuptirerSun savs
of him : “We had much rather plow all

did. The poor return was not for the lack
of faithful j>erformauce on his part. If we
are to have evenr pursuit possible in life

tion o* wliat the human frame can undergo.
He must have nerves of iron. Wc under

It will interest people to see his style and

It is gratifying to see the press of v the
State encouraging the idea among the plan
ters of turning their attention to a variety
of productions instead of pinning t Ueir faith
to cotton alone. Treating on the subject
the Ilawkinsville Dispatch wisely savs: “The
season for planting corn has arr ved, and
many farmers are busily engaged in getting
in. their crops. Coni is selling in Hawkins-
ville at ninety cents per bushel cash, or
about *1 25 per bushel on time till October
next. But the low price of corn should not
tempt the farmers to plant cotton to the
neglect of corn. Prices are too low to make
it profitable to raise eottou to buy corn. The
better plan is to make corn enough forborne
use, and all the cotton extra.”
Ilawkinsville Dispatch: “Washington

Mr. Charles Powers, of Warrington, was
shot by bis wife on Wednesday last. The
shooting, however, was purely accidental.
The evidence before the Coroner’s jury
shows that deceased was cleaning or hand

loaded. Mrs. Powers took the pistol, and
while revolving and cocking it the pistol
wa« discharged, shooting her husband
through tha heart. The jury rendered a

A correspondent writing to us from Mi-

a large and very fine crop this year. The

good prices, C4*isJ(Jering some of them were
very tart, but that does »ot injure the
taste.”
It is suggested that if the farmers would

The Jackson County Agricultural Asso

an interchange of views, it was voted that a
“fair” be opened at Marianna, under the
auspices of the society, on the 8m Tuesday
in December next, with the earnest request
that Calhoun and Washington counties
would join lu the exhibition. The following
gentlemen were appointed a committee to

to grounds, buildings, etc: Messrs. W. P.
Barnes, N. Guyton. H. G. Bryan. Dr. T.

A correspondent writing from Mni tland
B\ys : "We only need to go there to be con
vinced that it is oue of the prettiest places iu
Florida. The lakes, of which there are many,
gparkk and glitter with sunshine, and the
ten thousand orange trees, with their rich
colored foliage, teeming with new life, arc
sufficient indications for happiness and pros
perity within its borders. Mr. Wilson Phelps
lias probably one of the best conducted
places in Orange county. Col. Livingstone,
his right bower, is a host iu himself, and en
tertains correspondingly. Judtje Mizell, the

Key West Duj>ateh: “The storm which
burst over this city on Thursday morning
was one of the most severe that has visited
us for many a day. The lightning was most
vivid, and the thunder deafening, while the
wind howled with demouiae fury aud tbe
rain fell in torrents. Of course* the city
was flooded, many of the streets being im
passable for many hours after, and the little
ditches lately dug failed to do more than to
half drown the unwary pedestrian. Hap
pily no damage of any consequence is re
ported. although it is feared that before
many days it will be known that many dis
asters occurred on the reef and in the Gulf.”
Lake City, Florida, seems to be waking
up to new life. They have a crate manu
facturing establishment there which is turn
ing out vegetable crates by the thousand.
Besides this we notice from the Ihjjoiicr
that “there is plenty of new lumber coming
into sight. We are glad to see it, as it is au
evidence that this is not a finished town, and
hope the work may go on till every mechanic
may work on full time at home.”
Lake City Reporter: “The pea crop is not so
good as last year owing, doubtless, to the
continued croppiug upon the same land
without supplying the elements exhausted.
The most successful gardeners are consider
ing this matter and intend to apply the
remedy.”
Says the Florida Crescent (Fort Read):
“Four thousand orange trees have been set
out within a mile of Longwood post office
within the past three years, and three months
more will see nearly another thousand out
in grove form. All that have been planted
are doing well.”
Letter from Pierce County.
Blacksiieak, March 8.—Editor Morn
ing News: Thinking that a few items
from oui county would be interesting to
the many readers of your excellent paper,
I have taken the liberty to write you.
The Superior Court lias been in session
this week, Ilis Honor II. B. Tompkins,
of your circuit, presiding. Our people
were very much pleased with Judge
Tompkins, who presides with a dignity
worthy the ermine he wears. Business
was dispatched rapidly, court only last
ing three days, during which the dockets
were almost cleared, and a great amount
of civil business disposed of. To the
honor and praise of our county, the
criminal docket is very light, only two
or three cases being on the docket, and
none of them sounding as felonies. The
grand jury’s labors were light too on this
class of cases, as they found only three
true bills for misdemeanors,etc. The order
and quiet of our citizens is also highly
creditable to our county. During the
session of court we do not remember
seeing a single individual under the in
fluence of liquor.
Our Library Association, for the pur
pose of getting money to purchase books,
liad prepared to give au entertainment,
consisting of amateur theatricals, on
Wednesdav and Thursday evening. They
achieved, we are happy to learn, quite a
success, although court adjourned sooner
than expected. The gentlemen and la
dies connected w ith the affair deserve a
great deal of credit for the manner
iu which they acquitted themselves, and
our citizens' will long remember with
pleasure the hours spent at their enter
tainment. The young gentlemen con
stituting the Pine Bloom String Band
made excellent music, and we hope to
see them again among us. The dra
matic performances were very creditable
aud developed the fact that among our
wiregrass boys and girls there is a good
deal of true histrionic talent that only
needs development and lots of genuine
true wit and humor only awaiting op
portunity for display. Long life to the
Library Association, we say.
Our county **» pearly out of debt, and
in the last few years there !f?.s lieen un
usual interest taken in the matter of
public roads, so that the improvement
in that direction is marked and pro
gressive.
The agricultural interests of our sec
tiou are every day improving, and
more attention is being given by our
farmers to improved methods of culture
than ever before. The educational in
terests arc also receiving more and more
encouragement from our people,
in fact, Air. Editor, having a county un
surpassed for the healthfulness of its
climate, its moral status growing better
and better every day. with a soil, though
seemingly poor, yet capably, under the
hand of scientific management, of yield,
ing abundant crops, we cannot see why we
may not look forward to the day when
w’e may occupy the noble position of
the “garden spot of the Empire State.”
And why not? Very truly yours,
Wire Grass.
Letter from Kingsley, Florida.
Kjnosley, March o.—Editor Morning
Xews: For a long time there has been
no reason for complaint at Starke about
the regular delivery of the News, but last
week the issue of March 2d failed to ap
pear. We regret this, as there is no more
welcome paper comes to that office than
ihe Weekly Newjs.
The management and running: of the
trains on the A. G. A W. I. T. li. R
could not be much better arranged, and
while wc hear of delayed mails, trains

Suite, on this line the trains keep close to
schedule time. The efficient Superin
tendent, Mr. 1). E. Maxwell, is untiring
in his efforts to make a first-class road,
and at the same time is li perfect gentle
man in every respect.
Just now Starke shows more life than
at any t ime in its previous history. There
are some seven or eight stores all doing a
good trade and no doubt making money,
if we may judge from the pleased looks
of the proprietors. The boarding houses,
too, are nearly al! full of immigrants,
looking for homes in this vicinity.
There is one thing uegdful, however,
in Starke, and that is a good hotel. A
•rood tinsmith would also do well here.

SULEIMAN PASHA REPORTED
DROWNED.
By Cable to the Morning News.
London, March 9.— A special to the
Standard from Rome announces that the
Ministry lias resigned. The King will pro
bably summon Signor Searandelli to form a
Cabinet.
A special to the Berlin Rational Zeitung,
from Vienna, says Russia suddenly seems
to object to Austrian occupation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and is preparing to assist
the Turks to resist it. The Times' Berlin
correspondent says this sensational news
causes much comment, but it evidently re
quires confirmation.
The Vienna correspondent of the Tunes
confirms the report that Count Andrassy
yesterday told the Hungarian Delegation
that the government had no intention to
annex or occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina,
and that the powers had now accepted
the proposal for a Congress at
Berlin. France, however, has also
expressed a wish that the Congress
Ik* confined to the Eastern question. This
wish arises from a fear that the Congress
may claim the right to sanction all recent
territorial changes. There Is little doubt
that France will receive reassurances, as
Prince Auersperg stated in the Reichstag
that every question but the Eastern would
be excluded from the scope of the Congress.
England also, although accepting the Con
gress, seems averse to the introduction of
questions not directly raised by the war,
such as the Greek question, the final settle
ment of which is not yet imperative. All
other powers being ready to accept any date
of meeting, the ouly question is will Russia
accept that proposed towards the end of the
month. Russia’s answer is expected iirnne-
diately. When it arrives, dates will be fixed
and the Berlin Government will issue formal
invitations.
The Daily Telegraph's Vienna dispatch
says Count Andrassy’s statement to the dele
gations will be to the effect that peace can
only lie brought about by an understanding
between all the powers. Austria cannot look
to this or that power for a settlement. She
will defend the interests of Europe with Eu-
rope. and her own interests, if necessary,
alone.
A special from Vienna to the Tunes says
the extension of Bulgaria along the Algearo
Sea has caused great commotion at Athens,
since, if carried out, it would terminate
Greek aspirations in connection with Thrace,
Constantinople and the Dardanelles. Even
should the slip from Kavala to Makeri only
be included in Bulgaria this would inter
rupt the coast line,j»ossession of which they
have long regarded as a rightful inheri
tance, the majority of the inhabitants being
Greeks.
It is rumored in London clubs and politi
cal circles, but it cannot be 6aid on how
good grounds, that Lord Lyons is likely to
succeed Lord Derby as Secretary of State
for the Foreign Department iu case that af
fairs between England aud Russia again be
come threatening. It is even regarded as
not unlikely that the change may be made
before the* meeting of the Congress, in
which case England would be represented
by her Foreign Miuister.
Cologne, March 9.—A letter to the
Cologne Gazette from Pera states that Sulei
man Pasha has been drowned. His papers
proved that he was contemplating a con
spiracy for the overthrow of the Sultan.
Vienna, March 9.—A statement accom
panying the bill for credit, to be submitted
to the Delegations, says out he present posi
tion of affairs that it is not impossible the
government might be obliged to take extra
ordinary measures for the protection of the
iutof t!i** monarchy. In this ease the
government must i»e in a condition to cover
the expenses, and therefore ask for sixty
million florins. It is proposed to expend
this in completing the equipment of the
army, but it is intended to afford the gov
ernment the means to insure the monarchy
against danger and surprise.
London. March 9.—A correspondent of
the Daily Stirs at Berlin says : “Unhappily,
there is no doubt that Prince Bismarck’s
health is little improved by his vacation. He
worked nearly as hard as if he had been in
Benin, uuJ returned in no condition for
work. Nevertheless lie ha* accomplished a
remarkable amount of work, often with ex
treme physical exertion and even suffering.
Ap *oQn‘»s the chance offers he will take

yesterday brought further particulars of the
reported peace in Cuba. A letter from a
Spaniard in Havana to a friend in this city
says: “Peace iu Cuba is a mere chimera.
Commerce is almost at a stand still, and the
taxes swallow everything we ean earn.
Credit has been greatly impaired, and to
crown all the small-pox is rapidly spread
ing.”
Mr. Quintcre had a letter from Santiago
de Cuba, in which the writer states that
General Maceo, in the Eastern Department,
was duly informed of the submission of
several chiefs. He and Miguel, Santa Cruz,
Pacheco and Moncada did not recognize the
action of the Central Committee in Cama-
guey, and assert that the Eastern Depart
ment was not consulted. The Cuban peace
commission itself is divided, Maximo
(iotnez being in the Spanish camp, and
liodcrigqez a*»d Collaso with the insurgents.
The letter adds that there is great dis
content among the Spaniards, and hostili
ties have been resumed, and concludes with
an appeal for aid for the patriots who are
still in the field.
Another letter states that Vicente Garcia
has joined Macco.
Mr. 1>( luma has received information that
Colonel Spot urn, formerly President ad in
terim of Cuba, said that* the secret condi
tions of peace would ho found acceptable
to the Cabana when published. The insur
gents of the Central Department had to sur
render on account of the want of ammuni
tion and means to prolong the war. A Cuban
chief wrote to Mr. Deluma that pressure
was brought to bear upon the Central Com
mittee to sign peace conditions. Vicente
Garcia, Francesco Javier, Cespedes and
Maximo Gomez did not accept the terms of
the surrender. The first named remained
ai the °I h‘ s forces in Tunas, the sec
ond marched to tu* «.aat uJth his confed
erates, while the third proposed to turtou*-
pano Roderigiiez and Collaso to Macco to
communicate to him the result of the peace
negotiations.
ARREST Ol MLliN&BK*.
Baltimore, March 9.—The crew of the
British bark Gypsey (jueen. hence for
Nowry, Ireland, * mutinied yesterday below
Sandy Point, alleging that the bark w-as un
seaworthy. Captain Payne returned to An
napolis 'roads and signaled the Naval
Academy for assistance, when a Lieutenant
and squad of murines were sent on board,
and the crew, ten in number, including the
second mate and boatswain, were arrested
and placed in irons.
Captain Payne states the vessel is sea
worthy, but the men, who had received
their advance, wuiiiw'J to leave the ship
He will ship ah additional crew to work the
vessel ard keep the mutinous men In irons
until his arrival in Ireland, where they will
be tried for mutiny.
RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNED.
New Brunswick, >’ J. ; March 9.—The
great railroad bridge spanning tne Kan tan
river at this point caught tire from the
sparks of a passing locomotive shortly be
fore six o’clock this morning, anil in about
an Hour-s time was almost entirely con
sumed. The eastward and westward t.ound
freight and passenger tran? over the Penn
sylvania Railroad are stopped in consequence
of the disaster. Passengers will be trans
ferred, until the break Is fixed, across the
river via the foot bridge. The total loss is
estimated at *1U0,UUU.
Philadelphia, March 9.—The Pennsyl
vania Railroad officials iu this city state that
the destruction of the bridge at New Bruns
wick by fire this morning will not interfere
with the traffic of the roa<l.

FOREIGN MARKETS.
Liverpool, March 9.—The statement in
the grain circular, telegraphed hence yester
day, that at the market here sellers of*wheat
were willing to concede a decline of one to
two shillings per cental, should have been
one to two pence per cental.
London, March 0.—Some few of the
Mincing Lane markets have Deen steadier
for the last few days, but generally a want
of confidence is still prevalent. The con
clusion of peace has not led to extended
transactions. A cessation of the specula
tive demand for saltpetre has been followed
by a fall of thirty shillings per tou, the
late highest point. Rice is active; several
cargoes of new Burmah sold higher. Te_-
unimproved: common gradesof Congou sold
in favor of buyers; low and medium Indian
tea by auction went at some reduction; de
liveries are still very large. There has been
a better supply of plantation Ceylon coffee,
which was all sold, aud quotations at one
time were rather lower and close about the
same as last week; for ordinary Brazil mats
there was rather more inquiry at current low
quotations. The stocks of coffee in the
chief European ports show a very
important excess. Compared with previous
years, a firmer tone pervades. In the sugar
market there has been some speculation in
brown sorts, prices ruling four to five shill
ings per hundred weight lower than those of
last year at the same date.
The Economist says discount rates are
practically without alteration. The position
of the Bank of England is such as may
necessitate a sharp activeness at any mo
ment. Recovery of ]>olitical confidence has
exercised a powerful influence on the Stock
Exchange. The upward movement
has been important iu every de
partment. . The firmness of money
has. however, cheeked specula
tive operations. A substantial rise is notice
able in nearly all United States investments,
partly on account of the improved tone
generally, but more especially attributable
to the hope that the silver bffi will remaiu
for some time at any rate inoperative. The
rise in United States Governments was rapid
Wednesday ou a statement circulated that
the Treasury would continue for the present
to pay the coupons in gold aud that the
New York bankers would probably take
some joint action with respect to the dis
credit which the measure involved. A
reaction of to % P«-* r cent, occurred in
United States Governments on Friday.
TUE PUBLIC INDEBTEDNESS OF SOUTH CARO
LINA.
Columbia, S. C., March 9.—The public
indebtedness of South Carolina has been
under discussion in the Legislature for the
last ten days. The Democrats were seriously
divided upon the report of the bond com-
missiou, which rejected a large amount of
bonds under the consolidation act of 1873.
Finally, a committee of conference was
appointed to reconcile the differences, and
a basis was submitted to the caucus this
afternoon, which was accepted, ami
will become the action of the Legis
lature next week. The agreement is as
follows: First, to levy a tax sufficient
to meet the interest on the entire debt ad
justed under the consolidation act: second,
to constitute a special court of three Cir
cuit Judges, before whom the bonds
declared iuvalid by the commission shall
be taken upon test cases, with the right of
appeal to the Supreme Court of the State
and the United States; third, that the
matured interest on all the bonds declared
valid by the commission shall be paid out
of money in the treasury, and
the interest for the current year on
such bonds shall be paid out of
moneys collected hereafter; fourth, that
the floating debt of the State, including bills
of the Bank of the State, he settled at fifty
cents on the dollar, payable in coupon
bonds bearing six per cent, interest.

Fernandesa. March 7.—Editor Morn
ing Xeics: The approach to Amelia Is
land is easy to almost ever)’ class of ves
sels. So the trim little steamer Florence
had no need to await the coming of the
tide to push directly up to the wharf at
Fern uulina. In a trice we were hustled
into a carriage and away to the home of
one of the most energetic citizens of this
beautiful town. We were to share his
hospitality, and it was abundant.
Fernandina is an ancient metropolis, at
least that part nown as “Old Town.” It
hits not the quaintness of St. Augustine,
hut some of the most thrilling historic
incidents of the past century are con
nected with the history of this remarka
ble island. When a Spanish province it
was the stategic point for all military
movements. Nassau county lives in the
memory of the old inhabitants as the
Vlark and bloody ground” of Florida.
Domingo Fernand a gallant Spaniard,
took possession of Amelia Island, under
grant from the Spanish Government.
This grant was liestowed for meritorious
services rendered to the government.
Here he lived and died, and his grave oc
cupies the centre of a square in New’ Fer
nandina.
Business has resumed its usual chan
nels since the fearful ravages of the
epidemic ot last year. Every branch of
trade seems as well represented as be
fore, and evidences of prosperity are to
lie seen on every hand. Three or four
new store houses are going up—all fire
proof. Many of the buildings art* iron
cased and present quite a tasty ap
pearance. They are said to be cheaper
than brick buildings, and not un
pleasantly warm even in summer time.
The yellow fever has left its impress
upon the people and the homes of Fer
nandina. There are many vacant chairs,
and many who were spared grope al>out
with shattered constitutions. I meet
them here aud there, hut the passing
world seems unconscious of the sad
havoc made in the?e happy household]
A stranger going into the town, unless
informed, would hardly conceive the ex
tent of the damage done by yellow’ fever.
The people all seem eager to forget the
past by pushing their business or engag
: in all manner of pleasures and enjoy
ments. The recuperation is wonderful
here. One of the grandest attractions
to the tourist is the magnificent beach.
Sweeping round twenty miles in length,
the slope is so gradual that any depth of
water can be had without the slightest
danger, making surf bathing perfectly se
cure. In its proportions and adapted ness
to sea bathing, it far excels Cape May,
Long Branch or Coney Island, near New
York city, and if the necessary improve
ments were only made there is no reason
why this ma # not become as popular
among Southerners as Ix>ng Branch or
Cape May in the North. I am glad to
learn that steps looking to its permanent
improvement will be taken this spring.
The enterprise ami pluck of Fernandina
are equal to the emergency, and in a
year or two we may look for one of jho
most pleasant summer rtajons, as well as
a retreat in winter from the rigors of a
far Northern climate. To further this
lesigu, lion. Mr. Yulee and others have
erected a magnificent hotel, with all the
modern appliances and conveniences,
and christened It “Egmont Hotel.” As
a structure it is an ornament to the city,
as an enterprise it is worthy the energy
of ihe gentlemen engaged, and as an in
stitution it will be a comfort and solace
to the tra- eling public. The parlors,
to use a lady's expression, ‘ ‘arc exquisitely
beautiful.’* The furniture is more elabo
rate and finer than I Iny o sevu in any
hotej Qut&Ufo the great cities. The table
is all that the most fastidious could de
sire, ami the altention complete. This
hotel is not designed for Northern win
ter travel only, but is a pcnqauyut instl-
tiiUc . and will be open winter and sum
mer.
The authorities are bqsyintheij- efforts
to cleanse and purify the city as a pre
ventive against any more epidemics.
They are ditching and sewering all
P Iaccs > ~r.0vm,* everything
w ould in ny way promote disease
That “neces- ty ii the mother of in
vention,” is fully illustrated here.
All the pipes for sewers and drainage
are manufactured right here. They
use the Louisville cement, and s*nii
from the sea lieach. When properly
manipulated it is moulded iuto sections
of pipe, any size desired, and it becomes
as hard as any water pipe I have ever
seen. The streets in the entire town are
being supplied wiT these pipes to carry
off the water and refuse from every part
of the city.
This is a small city of not more than
2,500 inhabitants, but it can appropriate
ly be called the City of Churches. Nearly
all denominations are represented. There
are nine places of worship.
There are a number of vessels in port,
nearly all loading with lumber. There
are ample facilities for travel. Direct
lines of steamboats to Brunswick, Sayan-
nah, New York and Jacksonville are con
stantly going, besides the Atlantic aud
Gulf and West India Transit Company
Railroad. Jack Plane.

A Sight that Drove \ Woman Mad.
—Hugh Finnegan, of No. 402, E. 23d
streetT dipd in Bellevue Hospital on the
4th of December of pneumonia, and a
pest mortem examination was made.
His wife learned of his death, and while
wandering about the dead-house looking
for his body, entered the operaitng room,
and fainted on seeing her husband's
corpse, that was still bloody. She was
taken home by friends and has constantly
been haunted by the Mpeetacle that her
husband's body presented. Yesterday
she became a raving maniac and w-as
locked up in a padded cell in Bellevue
Hospital.—X. Y. World, 2d.
There is a paper in Kentucky, the
Mount Sterling Sentinel, which favors
sending women to Congress,
Secretary Sherman and Silver.
St. Louis Republican.
Our Washington dispatches since the
passage of the silver biil are full of ru
mors that Secretary Sherman will carry
out the law to its fullest extent; that he
has bought such and such an amount of
silver bullion, ordered the smelting i*ots
on the tire, the dies to be got ready, in
order, it seems, that he may “make the
people sick of silver.” There is some
thing in these statements that looks alto
gether suspicious—as if intended to hide
the defects of the law, as if intended to
lull Congress and the nation into t!\e be
lief that they have accomplished by the
passage of the silver bill what was do
manded by the people. This is not the
fiict. The people demanded the remone
tization of silver. The law remone
tizes not more than four nor less than
two million of dollars a month. It re
monetizes, not silver as a metal, not sil
ver as produced by the industry of the
people from the mine or the market, but
only a certain portion of this product.
Not more than four millions a month.
If the people produce on«* hundred mil
lions a year, fl y-two millions of it, says
the law in effect, shall not be minted.
More than this, it shall be optional with
Secretary Hhcrm.tu whether four or two
millions a month shall be coined—re
monetized- Not tbe people, not the free
industry of ihe people determines how
much silver there shall be in circulation,
but first tbe law, and then Secretary
Sbormar. shall determine whether two or
four millions shad be put in circulation.
The people demand industrial frecdCTn.
The people demand wiien they have
by tllC’.T laoor obtained silver bullion,
the government shall inspect, ossay it.‘
and then certify to its quantity and
quality, mint it. How much bullion
they shall produce, how much they shall
have inspected and certified to, have
minted, how many dollars they shall
make and put in circulation—this they
propose henceforth to determine for
themselves in their industrial capacity.
This is the dem. nd of the people, and
Congress will be derelict in its duty if it
adjourns without complying with this
demand to the letter, regardless of Sec
retary Sherman s assertions or assurances
that he will do this or that.
