A well-known and responsible citi zen of Ocala who was an eye witness of the recent Hlcks-Hlgglnbotham duel at Brooksvllle, gives the follow ing facts In regard to the matter: A white man went to the Brooks vllle and Hudson train with a package of goods, which he desired to ship to some point on the line. At the train he found the brakeman, a negro whom he told to put the package In the baggage car. The negro said that he would look after the goods but could not put them In the car without orders from Mr. L. W. Hicks, who was conductor and had given strict orders that noth ing should go In the car until he had approved It. At this the white man got mad, cursed the negro nnd threatened him with Injury unless hs should put the goods In the car. The negro retired Into the car and shut the door. The wbl^e man began trying to break th* door down. The negro took the conductor's pistol, which waa lying on a shelf In the baggage car and told the white man to keep out. He kept out. - J. F. Higginbotham heard of the matter and became very Indignant. He said that no negro should drew a pistol on a white man and go un punished while he was in town; and to be conelatent with this sentiment, caught the negro and gave him a se vere beating. A day or two later Higginbotham saw Conductor Hicks across the street He crossed over and asked Hicks It ha wanted to ■** him, Hioka said no.

Savannah, Sept. 20—One at the most thrilling tales of the sea nar rated In this port in several years was that told by the captain and crew of the British brlgatlnc, Ohio, which was lost off Cape Hatteras on Mon day. The crew was brought Into port yesterday on the steamship Freder ick of the Merchant and MlnorB line. The Ohio was left in a linking condi tion. Capt. Moore of the lrrlg had to be almost forcibly taken from It, because be did not wish to lose all that he had saved during hie life, which waa represented by the ves sel. The first mate was found In the Cabin ot the brig preparing for death, as he did not bellevo the ves sel could stand the storm and wan not aware that a rescuing party won near. The men were rescued by a life line shot over the partly sub merged vessel from the Frederick and they were hauled aboard In th* breeches bony. There were eight of the officers and crew and when resfcucd their provisions had been reduced to a email bottle of water a loaf ot bread 1 end a coin of tomatoes. They had not eaten anything for sometime before. The men appealed to the British con sul for «ld and wero taken care ot after they-reached her*. Justice of Peace Indicted. Justice of the Peace lease Nathan* haa been Indicted by the grand Jury of the superior court once more for j malpractice.

Meantime, he la a Justice out of a Job aa bin commission Is void pending hi* trial. Judgo Nathan haa been indicted three times by the grand jury of th* superior court but both time before he suoceeded In securing acqulttals- before the petit Juries .of the asm* court. Mr. F. F. Jones, the chair man of the grand Jury committee *of Justice courts seems to always find somo evidence against these officers to base an Indictment on. He hat served In that capacity twice and before had three Justices Indicted and two convicted. This time be had several Justices before the grand Jury and the friends of one of them have been ruled by Judge Beabrook for trying to exercise an undue Influence over the Jury In his behalf.
