THE OKEBCHOBKK LANDS.
# ——————
Hus Florida Received Her Right* j
Under the 1 train age Contract?
Tallahassee, Fla., March 4. —The re
port recently made by the commission ap
pointed to re-examine the laud* under
the Okeechobee drainage contract is at
tracting considerable attention, and it
may be of interest to recite an outline ot
the tacts in the case.
The lands included in the contract
made by the trustees of the Internal Im
provement Fund of Florida with tne
Drainage Company were oonveved to the
State ot Florida, by an act of Congress in
1350, known as tne swamp laud act. The
act provided that the proceeds of said
lands, whether by sale or direot appro
priation in ktuu, shall be applied exclu
sively, as far as necessary, to the purpose
of reclaiming said lands by means ol
levees and drainage.” The State ol Flori
da, in accepting said lauds, placed the
titles in the bauds of a Board of Trustees
consisting ot the Governor, Comptroller,
Treasurer, Attorney General and Com
missioner ot hands, to execute the Con
gressional trust in securing the reclama
tion of said lands. Under this authority,
the Board of Trustees in February, 1881,
made a contract with the Okeechooee
Drainage Company to reclaim that vast
region of oveiflowed lands around the
Kissimmee valley, Okeechobee lake and
the Coloosahatchee river. That contract
provided that whenevec the company
notified the trustees that certain
lands embr&oed In the con
tract had been reclaimed, the
State should appoint an agent, and the
company an agent, and if they reported
as much as 200,0(10 acres of the lands re
claimed, one-bait of said reclaimed lands
should be deeded to the company. In
June, 1883, the company re
ported that they had reclaimed
a certain amount of lands.
The trusteees Jappointed Mr. James M.
Dancy, of Putnam, to examine a portion
ot said lands asserted to have been re
claimed.
MR. DANCY REPORTED
that a large acreage had been reclaimed,
after spending the month of July in
making a close personal examination.
The trustees, however, declined to con
vey upon Mr. Danoy’s report, and waited
until January. 1884, in order to have the
same lands re-examined by Mr. David
Dunham, of St. Augustine. Mr. Dunham
fully confirmed Mr. Dancy’s report. The
trustees still declined to deed any
lands, and waited until the wet
season, in August, when they sent the
State Engineer, H. S. Duval, President of
the Southern Society of Engineers, who,
under instructions from the trustees, ex
amined another portion of the lands
claimed to have been drained, and re
ported that the work of the company had
secured the results demauded In the con
tract.
Tne trustees still hesitated, and sent an
other engineer to re-examine Mr. Duvai’s
work, and his report sustained Mr.
Duval. Thus, after tour examinations
by three different engineers (exclusive of
C'ol. C. F. Hopkins, who represented the
company and Joined in tne report),
the trustees decided that it was
their duty under the contract
to deed the lands. Accordingly, deods
were made to the company for about 1,-
000,00 b acres, being ibelr half of the lands
reclaimed, by the unanimous vote of the
trustees, Governor Bloxham,Comptroller
General Barnes, Treasurer L. Engle, At
torney General George P. Raney and
Commissioner of Lands P. W. White.
All these reports of the different agents
of the trustees can be found iu the secre
tary of the trustee’s report, bound in the
journals of tbo Legislature of 1885.
IN 1885 THE LEGISLATURE
passed an act directing the Governor to
appoint a commission to re-exatnine said
lands. This commission first made their
examination in February and March,
1886. and state tn their report that, at that
time, of this vast region it oould be safely
said tbat “far the greater pro
portion ot its area was abundantly
dry at this season for cultivation.” The
commissioners subsequently visited this
section after a very wet Beason, wnere,
according to Lieut. Dorriec’s report
(their own agent) 33 inobes of rain bad
ialien in four months, and the valley of
me Kissimmee and Okeechobee were over
flowed, and the canals cut by the com
pany inadequate to take off the surplus
water except around the two Tobopekal
iga lakes, where the commissioners re
port about 80.0U0 acres permanently re
claimed.
Tne commissioners report that not only
is the drainage practicable, but that the
scheme of drainage is one of great
magnitude and of utmost Impor
tance to the State, and they
recommend tbat some arrangement be
made by which the Drainage Company
will secure to the board the faithful ap.
plication of all moneys arising from tbo
sale ot lands, which have been oouveyed
by the trustees under the impression that
they bad been reolaimed, to the further
work required for their permanent recla
mation. Sucn an agreement, if properly
secured, will avoid the necessity tor a
resort to the oourts, the rights of the
trustees will be protected, harmonious
relations with the company will be pre
served, and the interests ot the State pro
moted by avoiding possible interruption
and delay in the prosecution of the work.
The commissioners do not intimate any
improper conduct or fraud as to the
agents of the former Board of Trustees,
but remark “it le due to the agents of tbs
board, on whose report the trustees have
based their conveyances to the Drainage
Company, to add tbat we ure convinced
from our observations that the reports
submitted by them were made under a
misapprehension of the cattsos which led
to the condition of tbecountry at the time
their observations were made.”
It is due to all parties tn state that the
different reports of the two sets of
engineers sent down at different periods
were based upon differences of opinion,
and it is thought that the agents first sent
uown will reply to the report of the com
missioners, and bring Into question their
theory of hydraulics.

Live Oak, Fla., March 4.—The
case of the State of Florida against
Beauregard Helph, charged with the mur
der of Wilson M. Kirkland, of
Georgia, committed on Sent. 18,
1885, in Lake City, and removed to
Suwannee county on a change of venue,
was tried in January, 1886, resulting iu a
verdiot of guilty of murder in the first
degree, with recommendation to the
mercy of the court. The case was ap
pealed to the Supreme Court and
the judgment reversed. The second
trial commenced on Feb. 21,
at Live Oak, and was oonoluded late lasi
night with a verdict of not guilty. The
case as made out firsthand on tbe last
trial, was so dissimilar tbat a bv-stander
would scarcely have recognized it as the
same, the State’s witnesses having for
gotten all they knew at first, and tbe de
fendant’s witness not being oblivious to
any fact, the result is not surprising.

aware that the water was but knee-deep,
and boldly plunged in to resfcue the maid

San Francisco, March 4.—A special
from Nogales, Ari., says: “Last night
Deputy Sheriff Janie'S Speed saw Lieut.
Guitterez with four armed soldiers oross
mg a bridge over a small, dry creek into
the United States. He immediately
called on Henry Littlepage and Dr. Purdy
to go with him and see why an armed
party should enter the United States. On
arriving in front of the American custom
bouse the Lieutenant of the Mexi
can troop# stepped in front of
Littlepage, and covering him with a re
volver, demanded the release of a Mexi
oan named Rlenan, whom they supposed
the United States authorities were hold
ing as a prisoner. Littlepage said: “£
have no prisoners,” and immediately
snatched the six-shooter out of tbe Lieu
tenant’s hand and placed him under ar
rest. The Atnericaristhen started for the
main street of the town.
rescued by troops.
The Lieutenant called on some other
Mexican soldiers concealed in tbe dry bed
of the ere"k to release him. They imme
diately confronted the Americans and one
of them covered Littlepage with his rifle
and demanded the release of the Lieuten
ant. The firing then became general be
tween tha three officers and the
Mexican soldiers, the Mexicans
retreat! *g across the international
line into Mexico, and the American offi
cers following and shooting until their
weapons were empty. By this time the
American population was aroused, and
every man who could procure weapons
armed himselt, expecting an attack every
moffient from the Mexican soldiers who
bad been ordered out by Col. Arvizu,
tneir commander, and stationed on tbe
railroad platform in front of the Mexican
custom house.
News was brought that one of the
Mexican soldiers was mortally injured.
It is stated that the cause of the armed
men being sent into the United States
was to compel an American prostitute
with whom Col. Arvizu bad been living
and who had refused to cohabit with him
any longer to return, and that UDon being
discovered by the officers the Mexicans
made a bold bluff to cover up their in
fentions. Acting United States Consul
W. B. Grizclose has taken the matter
in band, and this morning made a
demand upon the Mexican authorities
for Lieut. Guitterez. More trouble is
looked for to-night as it is expected that
Col. Arvizu will seek revenge. Gov.
Jones hah been advised of tbe situation
anti will probably arrive here to-mnrrow
morning. Gen. Miles has been requested
by the United States At ornev at Tuoson
to send troops here immediately. The

New York, Maroh 4.—Saint Stephen’s

A telegram was sent on Tuesday in be
half of the parishioners congratulating
the Rope upon his76th birthday. A reply
came to-day in the following words, ad

to the taitbtul of the parish.”
Dr. McGlynn was notified of the
message, and to a reporter said: “Be
cause of my present position, aud taken
together with the strong and frank state
ment of Cardinal Gibbons concerning tbe
Knights of Labor, it gives me additional
confidence that the Pope by the enlight

Catholics, both lay and clerical, that they
are not to be censured by tne church
authorities for Striving to purify politics
and emancipate labor by legal restoration

Conclusions of the Conference of tbe
Railroad Men.
New York, Maroh 4.—The passenger
agents aud railroad managers who have
this week been discussing the provisions
of tbe interstate commerce bill have ar
rived at an understanding and have pre
pared a report embodying their views.
The purpose was to construe the act uni
formly, and this has been done. The re
port was to-day accepted by the joint
committee and adopted. There will be
practically no change in immigrant rates
and no change of the percentage
allowed to steamship compa
nies. In regard to mileage
j-ates there will be no diserijninatlon, ex
cept as to ministers, as stated in the new
bill. Theatrical companies and shows ol
all kiuds will be obliged to pay full rates.
Excursion rates will remain about the
same, except as to long journeys. The
most Important change will be as to
second class rates, which will be made
uni'orm throughout. This will result in a
marked increase of the present rates over
some routes.

to stop using “scab” ooal, have returned
tn work—that is such ot them as can find
places. The support of various firms
by tbo buss coopers, who continued to
furnish all tbe barrels the millers
