outlet.
Longwood is pushing along well, and
with its location should progress well

FLORIDA RAILROADS.
Some of the Enterprises Now Doing
Pushed to Completion.
Sanford, Fla., Jan. 31.—Meeting Col.
S. B. Carter, chiet engineer and manager
of tbe Blue Springs, Orange City and At
lantic railroad, the News representative
inquired about the prospects oi this road.
From points uiven. It would seem It is
going to be finished soon. The iron is
laid eight miles east of Orange City, or
sixteen miles in ali in operation from the
St. John’s river. Over 100 men are at
work, and it will be pushed forward with
all speed. It Is broad gauge, the iron
fifty pounds to tho yard. It will
be well made, substantial and
solid. The road will be running to New
Smyrna, Oe-the-Halifax, by March 1
For the first twelve or fitteen miles from
the St. John's it runs through a fine sec
lion, then follows a “fiat woods” stretch
till Glenooe Is reached, then through
ihe celebrated Turnbull hummock to
New Smyrna. At this latter terminus an
extensive and substantial dock Is being
built, it. wiil be some 450 ieet long,
the outer end touching the main
channel; the wharf proper at the
channel end will lie 40x80 feet. At the
junction of this road with the Jackson
ville, Tatnpaand Key West railway, west
ol Orange City, a very neat depot has just
been erected by ttiet.wo companies. They
have three vessels en route to Ralatka
with iron (some 1,060 tons), and will
push tho road to completion as last as
possible.
An important meeting will be held at
Orange City Tuesday in regard to estab
lishing a Methodist College there. The
townspeople give a good school building,
ten acres in laud, and a goodly sum in
cash. Bishop Foss, of Minnesota, and
several other eminent Methodists will be
present.
WORK ON THE JACKSONVILLE, MANATEE
AND GULF RAILROAD,
from Lakeland and Plant City to the Man
atee river, will probably be commenced
soon. President Diane was in New York
last week in the interests of the road, aud
it is understood he was successful. It
will be built from both Plant City and
Lakeland, the junction being at a point
some eight miles south of the former
place, and sixteen oi the latter. Judge
Tillman, of Georgta, one of the directors,
is very sanguine over the prospects of the
road and is working assiduously in its
interests. The route lies through a very
good section, with little waste lands, anil
they expect a large and lucrative busi
ness from the Manatee river country. It
will be eighty miles long.
MR. W. K. I.KUTK,
one of Volusia county’s toremost citi
zens, informs us that the latest addition
to thriving Seville is a bank. This is one
of the phenomenal towns of South Florida,
with complete waterworks, drainage and
sewerage systems, a grand hotel, fine
residences, and, above all, lots of pluck
and enterprise. The bank will start in at
once, witn W. K. l.eute Piesident aud M.
R. Robinson as Cashier. The latter gen
tleman was the State agent for Indiana
for the Travelers’ insurance Company for
twelve years, aud also nas had experi
ence in the bauking business at Frank
lin, Pa. With these gentlemen in charge
the institution should prosper. The Se
ville Company has expended a large
amount in tbe improvement of this
place, and say they are hardly
half through yet. The Gazette
is now known as the Seville Independent,
with Mr. Charles A. Choate, a tine jour
nalist, at its head. The register of their
fine hostelry, the Hotel Seville, shows
that a good detachment ol the “missing
tourists” have, at one time and another
this season, enjoyed its hospitalities.
Mr. H. G. Hubbard, the well-known
special agent of the Smithsonian Insti
tute at Washington, who resides at Cres
cent City, is placing the people of the
State under great obligations to him for
his active researches in their beriaif. He
has been experimenting on anew vege
table —the cbo-cho—a Mexican product,
which, it all reports are to be credited,
will prove of great value to Florida. It
grows on a running or climbing vine
similar to “horse-beans,” and yields an
extraordinary crop—two to four bushels
to the vine. The specimens we saw w'ere
notunlike a “rotund” cucumber, four or
five inoheslong and two thick, and in color
very much like that vegetable. Those who
have tried its edible qualities say it pos
sesses valuable qualifications. “Tnat it
is better than cucumbers cut up cold, is
preferable to egg-plant tried, and more
wholesome and palatable than stewed
squash.” There, you have all its good
qualities in a nutshell—of bad ones,
doubtless, it has none.
Mr. George E. Sawyer, one of the earli
est residents of Sanford, died at his home
stead, near Sorrento, early Saturday
morning, and was buried here Sunday.
Rev. Dr. Moore officiating. Tbe Masonic
and Knights of Honor lodges attended in
a body. Mr. Sawyer was long a ei'izen
of Sanford aud very much interested in
Its growth. For tho last year he has been
in very "poor health, and a trip to Hot
Springs, Ark., proved of but temporary
benefit. His death had been daily ex
pec eil for the lust fortnight.
The Mayoralty question is tho exciting
point iu the Gate City just now. At a
mass meeting recently ueld Mr. H. L.
Lilientbal was declared the nominee.
Many ot tbe citizens were dissatisfied and
prevailed upon Mr. George H. Fernoid to
accept a nomination from them, w hich he
did. I’ublic opinion is widely divided,
but from present indications Mr. Fernoid
loads in tne race.
DOTS.
The daily shipment of oranges for the
past week from this point over the Jaok

has averaged over 5,500 boxes, or eleven
carloads.
Steps are bslng taken to have shade
trees planted along the streets. Such a
Slop is in the right direction and would
add to the attractiveness of the town.

VIRGINIA’S COUPONS.
*
Jndffc Bond Holds That Virginia
Must Accept Thom as Money.
Baltimore, Feb. 2.—Judge Bond, sit
ting this afternoon as the United States
District Court ot Eastern Virginia, heard
an interesting habeas corpus case in
volving the constitutionality of the Vir
ginia coupon acts of 1885-80. The case
was on a petition of Rienard L. Fi'zger
ald, a salesman for Austin Fields & Cos.,
shoe dealers of Philadelphia. Tbe firm
on Dec. 1, 1886, deposited with C. Green
how, Treasurer of Richmond, SO9 in Vir
ginia coupons and $1 75 in money for the
purpose of obtaining a license to sell
goods by sample in Virginia. Mr.
fitzgerald was arrested in New
born, Pulaski county, Va., Jan.
25 last, on a charge ot selling goods with
out a license, the Treasurer having re
fused to accept coupons in payment of
the license, as the act states that coupons
so offered must be accompanied by the
same value in money, the money to be
held by the Treasurer until the coupons
are ascertained to be genuine. Judge
bond discharged Mr. Fitzgerald, and in
giving his opinion said that the acts of
Virginia of 1885 and 1886 constitute one
law, although passed at different times,
and that, they are unconstitutional,as they
impair the coupon act, which provides
that coupons shall be received for all
State dues and taxes. Virginia, Judge
Bond says, has made coupons as much
legal tender as a greenback, and the
party offering them could not be called
upon to prove their genuineness by the
deposit ol collateral Attorney General
Ayres, of Richmond, who represents the
State of Virginia, asked for an appeal,
which was granted. E. U. Sherwood, a
salesman for the Spencer Optical Manu
facturing Company of New York, who
was arrested and released on bail in
Richmond on a similar charge, a short
time ago, was present and by consent of
counsel was made a party to the petition.
FMMhlon Notrs.
Silver is deservedly popular for use
upon evening gowns. Silver-spotted
tube is introduced upon white or dulioate
colored satin dresses.
Fancy Waists and jackets of velvet In
dark shades are worn with light skirts.
They are particularly useful for trans
forming a ball dress into a dinner toilet.
Another novelty is a chemise of Jersey
ribbed silk—pink, pale blue or cream
white—to take the place ot an undervest
and short skirt or else to use in the place
of the white chemise.
A feature of the spring wool goods
which will be welcome by every one is the
importation ot all materials by the yard,
instead of in “robe 9.” There are no dress
patterns technically known among mer
chants as “robes” among the French
goods, and no new robes in market except
of cheap German manufactures.

WILBUR’S COD LIVEIt OIL AND
PHOSPHATE OF LIME
Cares Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bron
chitis and Scrofulous Humors,
The advantage of this compound over the
plain Oil is, that tbe nauseating taste of the
Oil is entirely removed, and the whole ren
dered palatable. The offensive taste of the
Oil has lonsr acted as a great objection to its
use: but in this form the trouble is obt at and.
A host of certificates might be given here to
test ify to the excellence and success of “ IF/7-
bor’.i and Liver Oil and. f.iint;” but the fact
that it is regularly prescribed by the medical
faculty is sufficient. Sold by A. B. YVilbor.
