“D-ctor, what will be the effect of
the heavy frosts of yesterday morning
again this morning?” we asked
Dr. T. M. McIntosh, chairman of the
hoard of health, yesterduy afternoon.
The low temperature and frost have
effectually estopped the possibility of
the spread of the disease to this point

gated which latter supposition is at least,
highly improbable. No, th-.rc is abso

Robert Dekle was granted a license 1 and
Second, the absence of a erasing at
Jefferson street, near the ice factory.
Third, the absence of a crossing at
Ftaning street.
In connection with the representative
of the S F. k W. R. R. Co.,the chairfban
of this committee has made a personal
examination of the several points named
and beg* to submit the following
report:
As to Fearn street I find that it
extends from tha Magnolia road to
Lester street and for that distance is a
public street and as such is used by the
publis and kept up by the city.
From Lester street to the Tallahassee
or Duncanville road, or more proj>erly
still to Jackson street, Fearn street has
net been opened by any act of the
municipal government and has cot been
in any legal way dedicated to public
use. On the contrary I am informed
that one or more persons through whose
property it would pas?, if extended,
have refused to have the same extended
through- their lands'. An unenclosed
place for part of this distance suggests
that it was so left unenclosed for street
purposes, but this bai never been
worked or used as a street. From the
Tallahassee road oa Jackson street
westward across the Monticello branch
cf the S. F. & W. lly., this street has
taen cleared of timber bat is not now
and never has been used as a street or
road and if ever dedicated to public use
there is no record of such dedication.
To open this street from Jackson
west to Parnell, which is parallel with
the railroad right of way, would put the
city to considerable cost and that with
out any corresponding benefit. It would
pass ovtr low, wet ground, and to luako
it passable an embankment would have
to be constructed on both sides of the
railroad in order to get over the railroad
track. As there arc now two crossings
conveniently near to this point, I do
not consider one here at all necessary.
The excellent map of Capt. Law wiil
make ibis clear.
to the Jtfft-rson s.reet crossing I
would make the following suguestions:
Inasmuch as the 8. F. & \\\ lty. Co.
ids reducing the number of tracks
be Jackson street crossing and
using the number of tracks west of
that aud up to and beyond Jefferson
street, thereby contributing greatly to
the public convenience by doing away
with all drilling across Jackson street.
I believe the best policy for the town
would he to make soim arrangement
with the railway company to extend
Fleming street from its present terminal
Jackson street, entering Jackson
irly opposite Stixas street.
1 am assured .’hat the railway com
pany will cc-oprratc with the city
ouncil and do all io its power to
dvanCb the interests of all concerned,
would, therefore, advise anl recom
mend that this committee, or some duly
ccreditcd agent of the city, be in rtructcd
to further confer with the railroad
authorities and see if an amicable
lent can be made whereby the
town would renounce any claim upon
Jefferson street and ia lieu of its open-
Fleming street extended to
ai heretofore mentioned.
While the railroad urv*t rc-cogniz: the
rights ( f the public and in this case I
glad to say it will cheerfully meet
city authorities in a ,-jirit of mutual
.ty ;1 cji.c^-si^rj. the city should,

wide difference between Napoleon
and himself. Najiolcon had been
described as being “grand, gloomy
and peculiar.” “I,” said the speaker,
“am neither grand nor peculiar—
but 1 am very, very gloomy.”
[Laughter.]
What defeated me !” asked Mr.
Winslow, solemnly. “After due
consideration I am forced to the
conclusion that it was want of votes.”
[Laughter.]
“But why did I lack votes ?”
He answered this 3 question by
telling in inimitable style an anec
dote. Two tond .’parents in Iowa
promised to take their little
sotacarriageriiding. When the lime
arrived they shut the door upon the
boy, jumped into the vehicle and
rapidly driven off. The little
fellow rushed into the street crying
f his heart would break. Some
men came along and on seeking his
distress said:
" hat is the matter, little fellow.
We hope you are not hurt ?”
’ said the boy, pointing at
the flying carriage, “I ain’t hurt a
bit—but yonder goes two of the
grandest liars in the state of Iowa.”
This sally simply convulsed the au
dience.
Winslow then humorously
described the “fellow that stuck to
Weeks ago lie had promised
only to vote for him, but to use
all of his influence to get him
elected. “Two or three days before
the election 1 met him and said :
“Old fe low, you have not forgotten
your promise? Of course you are
going to support me.” The mem-
grasped Iris hand, but turned
his face aside and whispered, “Oh,
yes, I’nr going to vote for you ; but
be perfectly frank, Winslow, 1
will have to give billy Fchon a com
plimentary vote on the first ballot,
n the second ballot I am your
"You will remember,” said
peaker, most seriously, “that
were only two running, anA
one ballot did the work.” [Greff
laughter.]
When the winter* throws its cold,
e mantel over the earth, and the
s arc stripped of their leaves, w c
know that spring, garlanded with
flowers and breathing perfume, will
conu again tripping under a sunlit
canopy—but the heart that has been
once betrayed will never trust again.”
[Applause.]
I he .‘peaker then assailed the
stem of electing judges and solid-
r.s.
“Suppose. ’ said he, “that a man
like the glorious and lamented Judge
Lumpkin, had been a candidate under
cw system. Suppose he had
defeated by a combination, that
splendid intellect would have passed
under dim eclipse, disastrous twri.ght
shedding.”
He described the manner of elect*
; judges and solicitors as a sort of
three card rnontc trick, and said that
ere members who, if nccessa-
i.’d have traded their grand
mothers and mother* in-laws for Lilly
This provoked uproarious
applause. .
ihe lecture fairly bristled with
happy hits, relieved by fine pathetic
points.
Mr. Winslow concluded with two
fine quotations from Shakespeare.
“Gentlemen, ’ said he, “the time
of hfc is short. To spend that short*
neu basely were too long did life
but r.dt upon a dial’s po:r.t, mil
efaffing at the arrival of an hour.”
•• To thine own self Lc true, and it
roust follow, as the night the day.
thou cans: not then be false to any
man.” [Applause]
Tnc above outline gives but a faint
idea of his humorous, sensible, pa
thetic and eloquent talk.
Scores of friends congfttulated Mr.
Win*iow upon his lucccnful lecture-
