•ring all legislation relative to the estali
lisbmeut of a railroad commission and this
•ommittie has invited prominent railroad
men frcm different sections of the State to
appear before it next Thursday to make
suggretions looking to the protection of the
interests of the railroads, while others will
represent the people and demand that nec
essary checks lie placed on the corixirations
to prevent discriminations and unjust
charges for tariffs.
The committee is composed of men who
represent every portion of the State and
nearly every interest of the conflicting sec
tions. so it is thought as the railroads them
srlve. favor a commission,a bill will lie prm
dueed that will operate to protect the public
from oppression, and at the same time not
prejudice the rights and privileges of the
corporations so as to deter the investment of
foreign capital in the construction of new
roads aDd in the improvement of those now
in operation in the State.
APPOINTMENTS DEFERRED.
Gov. Perry has deferred the appointment
of Judge* of the several Circuit Courts and
District Attorneys until the completion of
the spring circuits throughout the States
Some have alleged that tlu'se appointments
have not been made because if the close
Senatorial contest, which might have been
affected adversely to Gov., Perry had he
made appointment, which would necessarily
involve many disappointments that could
certainly do his cause no material good.
But those who know the Governor best say
he has not acted because he desired to con
aider well the merits of the various appli
cants and give to each circuit the best pos
sible appointment.
NO OCCASION FOR HASTE.
There has really been no occasion for
speedy action in the matter, and if suitable
selections are made the seeming delay will
m ove to be a real lienetit to the people.
There is no lack of applicants, and all are
first-class men, any one of whom would
make a good J udge.
In the Seventh circuit there are three ap- !
plicants for the judgeship, J. D. Broome, of j
PeLand, and Messrs. Beggs and Hammond, !
of Orlando. They are all good men. and
their so-called claims are being urged with j
untiring zeal. There seems to be no oppo
■jfeln to the reappointment of Judge T>. S.
to the Tallahassee circuit, and
K" Vaun, of Madison, appear-, to be the
in the Third circuit. Judge Mc-
will probably be reappointed in the
■nt circuit.
f AT A STANDSTILL.
really important legislation lias been
liecauso of the Senatorial excite-
Htt. but the passage of Senator Mallory’s
the granting of free passes
Of nominating conventions
show's how the members feel about the
abuse of complimentary passes. The com
mittee to investigate the celebrated section
of the new constitution which was left out
of that instrument has entirely re
lieved from all blame the persons against
whom charges have boon made,and attribute
tlie absence of the section to accident alone.
The section related to public printing and
required the work to be given to the lowest
bidder, and it was charged that it was de
stroyed by those interested in retaining the
printing of the State. The report of the
investigating committee, however, com
pletely exonerates the State Printer and all
others connected with the matter. The hill
relative to future State printing, most
likely to pass, gives the work to the lowest
bidder, who shall be under the supervision
of the administration officers of the Ex
ecutive Department.

FIGHTING FOR A CONVICT
EFFORTS TO PROVE THAT A
COURT HAD NO JURISDICTION.
1 Escape from Serving a Ten Years’ Sen
tence for Burglary Hanging on the
Issue - Decisions Handed Down by
the State Supreme Court—Peniten
tiary Investigating too Expensive for
Private Purses.
Atlanta, Ga. , April 18. —The following
Supreme Court decisions were handed down
to-day:
S. T. Coleman & Cos. vs. Levi Jenkins;
from Baldwin. Affirmed.
T. J. and H. A. West vs. A. A. Randall;
from Greene. Affirmed.
L. A. Trice, administratrix, vs. 11. M.
Rose; from Baldwin. Reversed.
An effort is being made to secure the
release on a writ of habeas corpus of George
Daniels, a convict serving out a tea years’
sentence for burglary. It is claimed that
Daniels was tried before Judge It. H.
Clarl*. of the Stone Mountain circuit, Jan.
do. 188 H, when the Judge of this circuit was
holding court in the Superior Court room,
and under the law should have tried this
ease. It is contended that under the low
the Judge of the Stone Mountain
circuit could not try a felony
in this comity. This question went to the
Supreme Court before from Fulton county
and this point was sustained. The act lias
since been amended, hut it will lit* held that
this coil* iction was prior to the amendment.
Judge Marshall J. Clarke granted a writ
to-day, which has l*een served on Principal
Keeper Towers, directing him to produce
the convict with cause of detention till
April 21.
PATRIOTISM TOO EXPENSIVE.
The special committee appointed by the
last Legislature to investigate the peniten
tiary met here to-day. Messrs. Huff. Ham
and Harrison were present, and Messrs.
Schofield and Terrel! absen ;. No provision
was made for the expenses of the commit
tee, and they are expected to draw on their
own purses. The railroads have called in
legislative passes, and as the committee
would have to travel about 2,000 miles to
visit the sixteen camps they found them
selves embarrassed to such an extent that
they adjourned to June 20, which means
that the investigation will not be made
before the summer session.
John L. Crane, a Just ice of the Peace of
Lumpkin county, was brought here to-day
on a bench warrant by Deputy Marshal
Harbison, charged with numerous viola
tions of the revenue laws. As Crane has
already forfeited two bonds for his apjiear
anoe. he was lodged in Fulton county jail
without bail.
The United States Circuit and District
Courts convened to-day.
A small cyclone occurred at Kingston
this morning. It blew down several houses
and unroofed the depot.

fault of Ball.
Macon, Ga., April 18. — The pre
liminary hearing of Frank W. Mickle
jolin, the young man charged with
several forgeries, was set for 11 o’clock to
day before Justice Freeman. When Mickle
john was brought into Justice Freeman’s of
fice his attorneys, Messrs. Willingham and
Patterson, objected to his being tried before
the Justice, and he was carried to the Supe
rior Court room and the trial proceeded iie
fore Justice Poe. A large numlier of people,
most of them brought by curiosity, assem
bled. At the conclusion of the hearing,
which lusted all day, Micklejohn was bound
over to the Superior Court in the sum of
SSOO, in default of which he was sent to jail.
Mounted Mail Carrier Benson had a nar
row escape this morning while going his
rounds delivering his mail. When on Ross
street the horses feet became tangled in a
telephone wire, which frightened the horse
and caused him to begin kicking and
to run. This was quite unexpected to
Mr. Bonsan and lie lost his balance and fell,
his head striking the ground. Sev
eral parties, among them Bailiff
Kim brew, saw the accident, and
running to the scene, picked Mr. Benson up
and carried him into the house of Mr. Kim
brew. Dr. Williams was summoned and
examined the injuries and discovered the
fact that a small hone in the temple had
been broken.
Senator Alfred H. Colquitt passed through
Macon to-day on his way to his farm in
Dougherty county.
OUT OF JAIL AT LAST.
Two Prisoners Escape at Darien After
Repeated Efforts.
Darien, Ga., \pril 18, —Two prisoners,
William Pinkneyaud Bryan Martin,confined
in jail here on a charge of cattle stealing,
who, as reported to the News about three
weeks ago, almost succeeded iu cutting their
way out of jail, have nt last escaped. The
tools used in effecting their escape were
found in the cell and must have lieen sup
plied from the 'ml side. Mr. C. 11. Hopkins,
Jr., had in his charge both city and county
prisoners until a couple of months ago,
when the custodianship of the county pris
oners were transferred to other hands. For
a period of eleven years not a
single prisoner escaped from Mr.
Hopkins. He justly feels proud
of his record a<vi jailor, and while cherish
ing the friendliest of feelings for his suc
cessor, he is keenly alive to the fact that
these escajies go to show an iimppreviative
public how faithfully and vigilantly he for
such a number of yours Ims discharged his
duties.
N'uval stores workers and cross-tie cutters
are making things lively iu the wix>ds,
while almost every saw mill around here is
naming on full time. Work on the Darien
Short Line was commened to-day, and
' the average citizen looks forward"cheer
fully to the. time when it will lie completed.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL Ift. 1887.
SOUTH FLORIDA RUMBLES.
: Sanford’s Business Boom—New Build
ings Real Estate Sales.
Sanford. Fla.. April 17. —If tlie readers
of tie- Morning News 'think South Florida
is resting and asleep after the tourist season,
a visit to this charming and thriving place
I will soon undeceive them. There is an air
I of hustle and business activity seen about
tlie streets that is convincing, and the new
buildings going up show that their owners
have an abiding faitli in the steady growth
of the Gate City.
Mr. Rand, the new General Manager of
the Florida Land and Colonization Com
pany. the corporation owning the greater
jiortion of the town (and thus practically
governing its growth by their progressive
or unprogressive methods), is the “rigitt
man in the right place.”
A large portion of the comnauy’s lands
west and south of the city have been cleared,-
graded and drained, and the result seen
is the greatly increased sales of lots, and,
what is better, their improvement. For the
last month over sixty laborers have been
employed in tlie improvements, and fully
;!50 new lots placed on the market. The
waterworks are to be enlarged at once by
a larger engine, more powerful pumps and
larger mains. Thirty hydrants are* mav in
for fire purposes, and it is thought the in
surance people will appreciate this step and
lower their rates.
In the last thirty days, from the main
the company alone, over $20,000
worth of lots have been sold, 75 per cent,
of which will lie improved the coming
1 year. This shows certainly a good business
activity, and one likelv to last. Resides
these sales over SOO,OOO has changed hands
in outside real estate sales in the same
period, a large portion of this lieing foreign
capital. Mr. Hand informed the News
representative that the advertisement in
the Daily Savannah Morning News
brought them more inquiries and from a
larger extent of territory than any medium
they hail ever used. Letters had been re
ceived from .Savannah, Atlanta, New
York, various cities in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, etc., and even from Moub, Utah.
This shows plainly the great interest that
is felt in Florida by our Northern
and Western friends. One idea of Mr.
Rand's is unique, and certainly is a good
one. A dozen circulars or more describing
Sanford and its attractions arc packed in
every lx>x of oranges sent from there, and
in this way a wide field is covered, as those
circulars reach many out-of-way districts
that could not be covered in any other
way.
The new brick buildings add greatly to
the town's appearance. Judge elbourne’s
fine block, costing some s.‘>o,ooo, is rapidly
approaching completion and will be a
credit to him and the place. Mr. DeForest’s
handsome block is finished and occupied.
Mcßae & Whituer, grocers, Occupy one of
the well-lighted and roomy stores, and
President Ingraham, of the South Florida
railroad, has his office on the second floor,
occupying two large and pleasant rooms.
Mr. Hotchkiss’ corner block is progressing
finely and will be a handsome and attrac
tive structure.
Three new brick buildings are in contem
plation, and in all probability will be started
on soon. Altogether, Sanford’s present pro
gress is extremely gratifying to her pro
gressive citizens, and certainly the future
prospects arc good.
A national bank—the First National of
Sanford—is being organized, and will soon
I* in o'“>rat*o*. It has a good business field
here. The officers are not publicly named
yet. The bank's capital will be $50,000.
Mayor Lilienthal, the new Mayor, is fully
illustrating the old adage, “Anew broom
sweeps clean,” and the delinquents brought
before him have no chance to escape. At a
recent levee of his honor's §137 was
“contributed” to the city’s treasury and
nearly every day some “spare cash” is thus
gathered in. The streets nave been cleaned
up. the roadway rounded up for better
drainage, sidewalks repaired and proiierty
owners warned to keep their sidewalks in
good repair, much to (he increased comfort
of pedestrians. The Mayor has a pleasant
office near the wharf, fitted up with station
ery, etc., ami agreeably surprised Cant,
WTieeler. the stirring town marshal, the
other day by installing him iu a neat and
cosv office unjoining his own.
The .South Florida railroad offices will be
located in the upper stories of Judge Wel
ls .urne's new block as soon as it is com
pleted.

CLEVELAND’S ADMINISTRATION.
Interesting Views Expressed by Sena
tor Vest.
From Washington letter to Sew York Times.
As the time approaches when Democrats
are expected to fall into line as friends or
opponents of the administ ration, some of the
far-sighted ones who see that the Democratic
party can find no excuse for refusing to re
nominate Mr. Cleveland that would not lie
a good reason for refusing to elect any Dem
ocrat, are dropping into place in the ranks
and marching to local music of their own
making. Senator Vest, who litis been re
p utedly referred to as one of the anti-ad
ministration Democrat* in the Senate, lias
uttered hi.s sentiments in a way to settle all
cavil. He says in the Cost of to-day: “Our
government is in its infancy, with new prop
ositions and interests .ni'ronting the states
men every hour, ami the man who thinks
the Presidency a bed of roses is an idiot.
When we reflect that Mr. Cleveland was but
a few j'ears ago in private life, and that he
came to Washington with verv little ac
quaintance with public men and no legisla
tive experience, it is a matter of surprise
that he is able to administer affairs so won
derfully well. He prepares his own State
papers, and they are not equaled by those of
any of his immediate predecessors. His let
ters in the newspapers this morning on the
fisheries is worthy a place in history as a
calm, dignified American production, which
will command respect everywhere. Of
course there are people determined not to
support the President and who accuse every
one of toadying for patronage who says
anything in lus favor. Mr. Cleveland has
never lieen especially favorable to me, and
my relations with Prcddent Arthur, not
withstanding political differences, were more
intimate than they have been with the pres
ent Executive. 1 do not agree with Mr.
Cleveland now as to many things, but I
should be ashamed of myself if I failed to
say most emphatically that lie is an honest,
patriotic man, with far more ability than
even his nearest friends claimed for him
when elected. He has been President two
years and look at the result. The battle cry
of the Republicans before his election was
that property and business would not Is - safe
if the Democrats came into power, and espe
cially that life and property were unsafe all
over the South. N**w business men every
where are for .Cleveland, and even the Re
publican leaders are inv—.ting in Southern
enterprises. I know several of my Repub
lican friends in the Senate who are putting
half their fortunes in Southern lands and
securities. Cleveland has forever hushed
all the rot about Democrats mining the
country.”
“ Will he be elected again:”
“Yes. If his administration continues as
it has gone on for two years and the country
hos no financial hurricane to sweep over it,
he will he nominated and elected, no matter
who is the Republican candidate. To-day
Cleveland can defeat any man in the Union.
The people at large know he is honest and
fearless in his duty. He works harder than
any subordinate under him, and he wants
others to do their work also.”
“AVliat of his civil service ideas?”
“As to his civil service ideas I have this to
say: No man living is more anxious than
myself to see Democrats in office. If I had
my way I would till every position of im
portance with a Democrat, and I would
carry the rule very far even as to subordi
nate places; but the President honestly
thinks it his duty to keep many Republicans
in office who, in my opinion, should go out,
and 1 have no right to denounce him and his
administration for this when T have not the
tlightest doubt that he is sincere in his con
victions and thinks this is the spirit and
meaning of the platform on which he was
elected. At any rate 1 do not propose to
abandon the first President wo have elected
in twenty-five years on any such ground as
this.”
Ream’s Costly Maid Servants.
From the Chicago Mail.
A year ago St. Paul was the speculative
fancy of all the Western men. Armour led
the crowd at Chicago and west of here, and
Rockefeller was at the head of the crowd at
Cleveland, N. B. Ream was a member of
the famous junketting party that started
over the road with Armour when the stock
was in the (10’s. He made a big winning at
that time. He also went into the stock again
with Nat Jones and others, and kept doub
ling up until last summer, when tne sto r, k
was in the vicinity of par and when every
body expected that it would touch 100, if for
no other reason than to gratify the pride of
some of its directors. Ream had a good
many thousands shares. His profit had
reached over $.50,000, and the other hulls in
the stock in the same office had decided to
realize. The matter was talked over one
afternoon, and it was practically decided to
sell. The next morning the whole load of
stock; carried by the crowd was dumped—
except those carried by Ream. For some
reason or other the tall speculator did not
get down, as had Ixien liis invariable custom,
before the opening at New York. It. was
nearly noon when he did show up, and by
that time the st.x-k market had weakened
off considerably. Ream decided then to wait
for a harder sjx*t to unload on, and ordered
his Nt. Paul held. It wasn't a lucky deci
sion. The market had made a t urn for a long
null, and it did not go but one way—down.
When his Nt. Paul stock was sola almost
the entire $50,(X)0 profit had disappeared.
V\ hen the account wus written up and pre
sented, tlie brokers who made the trade re
luarked that there had been a handsome
profit iu the deal ut onetime that might easily
nave been secured. Ream answered:
“When I went home that night, after the
talk among the different holders, 1 intended
to sell out at the opening the next morning,
hut." he added, ingenuously, as if there was
nothing remarkable at all nlxmt it, “two of
our servant girls at home got inis* a quarrel
and one of them was going to leave. I lmri
t/> stay home to straighten the thing out.”
Those servant girls may be tilth Mr. Ream
yt. and probably at' l ', but wherever they
i are he ought to own them. They cost him
between s.',o,UXj aiut ?Cd,ooo.

MOTHER AND SON.
The Tender Affection of the Younger
Dumas for His Parent.
From a Paris Letter.
Some details have recently been given to
the world reflecting the mother of the
younger Dumas. She .was not, as has fre
quently been asserted, a woman of the lower
classes, unintelligent and uneducated. She
was of a respectable family at Rouen, was
married early in life to a" man whom she
never loved, and from whom she separated
very soon after their union. She came to
Paris and adopted the t rade of a dress-maker.
Chance threw her in the way of Alexandre
Dumas, then earning a salary of S3OO a year;
they were mutually attracted, and a serious
love affair ensued. After their separation, a
few veara later, Mine. L—— worked hard to
rear and educate her child. Some of the
early year's of his manhood he passed with
his father; the rest of his existence was de
voted to his fond and careful mother. It
was in the pleasant little home that she
formed for him that he began his literary
career. For four years the mother and son
lived together in an existence made up of
order and economy. The young m.ui wrote
several novels, and was employed on two or
three papers. Then, in 1852, came the great
success of "I,a Dame aux (.'amelias,'’ and
fame came, with fortune in her train, to the
modest abode of the young author. To the
honor of the younger Dumas, be it said, that
his first action on his accession to compara
tive wealth was the settlement of a pension
on his mother. Henceforward the cares and
trials of Mine. L were at an end. She
refused to leave the modest suite of apart
ments on the Rue Pigalle, where she and her
son laid dwelt together, and it was there
that she died in his arms in lStvs. She had
always proudly refused to accept anything
from the elder Dumas alter'their filial sepa
ration, yet she was accustomed to speak of
him with smiling indulgence as of a spoiled
child, who ha<l never learned wisdom, either
from age or reverses of fortune. She care
fully preserved till the day of Her death a
table lie had given her. and on which two of
his greatest dramas, “Christina of Sweden”
and "Henri III.,” had been written. She
was famous for her preserves, and for sev
eral autumns she sent some jars of them to
the abode of the author of "Monte Cristo,"
who was then living on the Boulevard Male
slier! >es. She forgave him —hail she not her
son beside her, that son in whom her whole
life was bound up 1
A Lonely Vigil by the Sea.
From the Astrury Park Journal.
It may not be generally known that the
beach at Asbury Park is patrolled by a )>o
lieeman every night in the year. He is
obliged each morning to render a written
report. His lonely hours a*c sometimes en
livened by meeting the Life Saving patrol
On the beach there are telephones which
connect with Park Hall, which also lias a
night policeman mid by private funds. He
responds to his fellow-guardian at the surf.
Besides telephones and fire engines on the
beach, there is also a miniature arsenal, but
this is called into requisition very rarely.
One of the odd things that occur on the
beach is the fact that cats sometimes go
down to get dams. After a strong west
wind, such as we had several days, the
great sea clams are washed ashore by the
resistless waves striking deeper and drag
ging the mammoth shell fish from their
sandy beds.
The Engadine
Bouquet, Atkinson’s new perfume. This
superb distillation sweetly recalls fragrant
Swiss flowers. Bright jewels in a setting of
perpetual snow.
BUG POISON.
mm BIG FINISH!
Ready for Use Dry, No Mixing Required
STICKS to the vines and finishes the whole
crop of POTATO BUGS with one applica
tion; also, kills any Curculio and the Cotton
and Tobacco Worm.
This is tin* only safe way to use a Strong Poi
son: none of the Poison is in a clear state, hut
thoroughly combined by patent process and
machinery, with material to help the very fine
powder to stick to the vines ami entice the bugs
to eat it, and is also a fertilizer.
One Pound will go as far as Ten Pounds of
Plaster and Paris Green as mixed by the farm
ers, is therefore cheaper and saves trouble and
danger of mixing and using the green, which, it
is needless to say, is dangerous to handle.
Cheaper than any other mixture used for the
purpose.
Guaranteed more effective than any other
mixture sold for the purpose.
