ALL “HOMEWARD BOUND."
FINAL ADJOURNMENT OF THE
FLORIDA LEGISLATURE.
A Day of Bustle and Hard Work- The
New Apportionment and Other Im
portant Bills Passed -The Registra
tion Law- Legislators Drop Their
Pens and Rush for the Train.
Tallahasse, Fla., June 3.— This has
been a busy day in the Legislature. All
day, and until the adjournment to-night,
there has been one continued rush amid
more or less eonfusian. A special confer
•nee committee was appointed to agree upon
the bill providing for the general election
laws, the apportiontment and the railroad
commission bill, together with other impor
tant measures, and the reports of these con
ference committees were adopted in every
case and the bills hurried through,
in spite of the opposition of
the few Republican members, who
did all in their jiower to delay the
proceeding in order to prevent tho
passage of the bills they opposed.
The attendance was quite good all day,
notwithstanding many members left for
their homes to-day. Over one-hall' of the
members leave on the midnight train and
the capital will be almost deserted to-mor
row.
GOOD OFTICKHS.
Senator Pasco remained here till to-night.
He has rendered invaluable service in jwr
fecting the measures for passage and much
credit is due the presiding officers of both
Houses for their Arm management ol' their
respective Houses. During the great cor.
fusion of the day the clerks did excellent
work in keeping the routine proceedings
from being confused and delayed so their
passage would have lieen impracticable.
THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
The new election law provides for the np
pointment by the Governor of one super
visor of registration, who shall register nil
legal voters and if names do not apjiear on
the registration list he shall place them
there. The supervisor is a salaried officer
and gives a SSOO bond.
The new' appointment gives St. John’s
two members of the House, one of which is
taken from DeSoto.
The board of health hill was finally killed
in the Senate in spite of the anxious re
quests from all parts of the State, particu
■rlv Jacksonville, for its passage.
Hflhe Senate to-day confirmed John F.
White, Judge of the Third Judicial circuit,
B. H. Wigg, State’s Attorney Fifth Judi-
Bpl circuit, and H. J. McCall, State’s At-
Third Judicial circuit.
DELAYED LEGISLATION.
.BUntil the last few days not a single
of any special note was finally
Spied on by either body, and the consequent
Bpifusion during the rush of the ]>ast two
has been terrible. Nothing was done
aud all rules disregarded. Too
credit cannot he given the efficient
Hi level-headed Chief Clerk of the House
the admirable manner in which he
the business of the House. AA’ith
his methodical prosecution of the
work many measures could no*
been acted on at all. Speaker Browne
'-■ts his part well and deserves a compli-
notice.

■ANOTHER BOODLE SENSATION.
Defense Objects to Evidence,

June 3- A (onsation was pre
in the boodle cases to-day by the
~ defense arguing against the introduction of
bills bearing on any transactions except the
few specific ones which form the linsis of
the present trial. Assistant State’s Attor
ney Walker thereupon made a powerful
speech, outlining for the first time the plans
or the prosecution. He declared that the
State expected to prove by them that there
had been a regular, systematic combination
between Warden McGarigle and the neces

board to defraud the county, and thnt Mc-
Garigle was I he clearing house of the boodle

NATURE'S FORTRESS.
A Secure Refuge for Criminals Where
Law is' Set at Defiance.
From the San Francieco Call.
It seems scarcely passible that in any part
of the habitable globe there should be a nat
ural refuge wherein criminals can openly
defy the law, and where it is im]jossib!e for
crime to receive punishment. However
lax we may be at times in our judicial pro
ceedings, still we know it; is possible to lay
hands on the evil perpetrators, even thoitgh
we desire not to punish them. In the Isl
and of Formosa, however, nature herself
has formed a fortified home for blood
thirsty criminals. Formosa is an island
about ninety miles off the coast of China,
from which country it is separated
by the Channel of Fokien. It was
unknown to the Chinese until the year
1405, and in 1631 the Dutch established
n settlement there, but after twenty-eight
years of peaceful residence they were ex
pelled bv the famous rebel, Coxinga, whose
successors ruled the island until 1683, when
the Chinese took full possession. Then the
population was from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000;
now it lias dwindled down to little more
than 100,000. Although only 350 miles long
and eighty miles in breadth, nothing is
known—by civilized beings—of the interior
portion, for it is inclosed by an enormous
volcanic range, anil it is within this space
that all the aborigines now herd together
These natives havo a slender form, olive,
complexion, long hair and blacken their
teeth. They have no written language and
tlieir religion is confined to a superstitious
belief in demons and sorcerers. No won
der, then, that they are easily governed l>y
some of the more advanced descendants of
rebel Coxinga, many of whom have taken
.up their abode with them, and a wild and
desperate life they lead. They take advan
tage of the asylum offered by this belt of
country to make organized expeditions
therefrom for purposes of pillage, and even
go so far as to arrange defensive operations
against the dwellers on the seacoastasa pre
text for the levying of tribute. Moro than
I,(XX) cases of murder are committed by
these people every year, and the Chinese au
thorities are completely set at defiance. The
mountainous nature of the country ami the
large numbers to lie dealt with preclude all
success of the Chinese soldiers against them.
The brigands know every loophole and can
get outside, whereas the others are unable to
get in. The policy of the present Governor
of Formosa seems to be to draw all the na
tives outside and away from their associates.
This plan has partly succeeded, but there
are still at least 100,000 natives leagued with
the brigands, and nature's lofty volcanic
walls still remain a fortress impossible to
storm, but easily defended by those red
handed desperadoes.
Georgia's Tornado.
The cyclone of AVednesday night did a
(leal of damage in the (State. It struck Pal
inetto ut 8 o’clock, moving from west to
south. On both sides of the town within a
radius of two miles a large number of dwell
ings were destrovivl but no lives were lost.
Advices from Sparta, Newnan, Villa Rica,
Fairbum and other towns give repoi-ts of
great damage from the storm, but no live's
lost as so far reported. At Villa Rica a
whirlwind struck James Hilton, Sr’s, farm,
on the Carrollton road and blew down every
building on his farm except two small log
houses, crippled a fine mule and bruise i up
Mi-s. Hilton liadly. Mr. Hilton was in the
yard trying to get his family in the storm
pit, hut was too late, ns the whirlwind took
hint upund carried him over the barn which
had just blown down. Mr. Hilton’s house
was anew frame building, as it had only
been a short time since he losta house on the
same spot by fire. The wind only occupied
a very small pace.
At Clarksville the sight was a queer and
sublime one. The large pieces of ice, falling
by millions (without ruin) presented a snovf
storm scene, looked at through a imwnrful
magnifying glass, thus turning the beautiful
into the terrible. On account of the short
duration, comparatively little damage was
done.
At Kingston the hail fell rapidly, com
pletely covering the ground. Tlie stones
varied in size from that of a gardeu pea to
it little larger than a partridge egg. It
ruined nil late wheat that was in bloom,
and it is feared materially injured early
corn, as it cut tho blades up very badly.
It was followed at Jonesboro’ by a wash
ing ruin whicn did much damage to fresh
plowed ground. The corn cron came very
near being a total ruin. It is damaged eon
siderably any way. Also the fruit crop is
very badly mutilated. Scarcely any apples
have lieen left on the trees.
It struck ut. Lee Pott’s, just above Now
nan, tore off the to)>s of some of his out
houses and passed on in a direction a little
north of east, blew down three outhouses on
tlie premises of Mr. Robert Re twine, tore
tlie susli in his dwelling all to pieces, demol
ished lii i dishes and scattered the timbers
for half a mile. One cow vas killed at
Red wine's, and no other stock were harmed.
The storm passed on in same direct) id, blew
off one end of a tenant, house on 11. M. Ar
nold’s place, leaving the floor and the man
and wife In bed unhurt mid unmoved. At
H. Lane’s it tore his dwelling to piece.-,
broke tho jawbone of one of his children
and killed another. At T. J. AA’ilkinsoii’s,
ten miles from Newnan, it blew down his
barn.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1887.
OUR WATER SUPPLY.
What is the Difficulty With It?
Editor Morning Xeics: That there is a
“screw loose’’ somewhere seems to be gen
erally admitted, and while it may lie well
understood by the chosen few, it is a matter
for the people at large to inquire into, and
they have the right to know. From the
time when the present works were started,
has there been (until just now) any serious
complaint in regard to the supply fur
nished f There was a slight difficulty
in regard to the airculation, but this was
almost entirely removed by enlarging the
distributing mains in certain localities. In
regal'd to the fire engines, there is this diffi
culty: The hydrant openings have an area
of 4 !M0 inches; the engines receive by an
opening of 12 5-10 inches. Now, if the water
in the mains is at rest, or nearly
so, it must be apparent that
the engines cannot draw a full
supply, but if it is backed by a heavy pres
sure upon the mains front the works this
difficulty is materially lessened. Now, if
there lias been no serious complaint or diffi
culty until the artesian project came into
the case, it is only natural to charge the
lately experienced defects or faults upon
this cause—and whence the necessity
for artesian water anyway! On all
this broad continent is there a
city, having a full and free supply of fresh
running water at the door, that has yet
digged into the bowels of the earth for
something better! Has any chemist so far
discovered any deleterious qualities in our
river water! Has it not been inconstant
use in Savannah and Augusta for over a
quarter of a century and no injury reported
in all thistime! “Oh, but it don’t look nice I”
Well, then, (esthetic brother, thnt is true.
Many useful tilings don't look uice.andeven
you may not lie a full blown Oscar Wilde
yourself; but you have got your nice water
and w-p have had our fires and destruction
all the same as if the water had not lieen
“nice." Yes. and some of the vulgar herd
are in: lined t-> believe that it was because
of your running aftor this strange god.
Now , friend Oscar, rt id, you must admit
either that there waa difficulty and danaer
with the water supply originally, or that
it has resulted from the artesian scheme—
in either ca- . would it not have been letter
had you given us an abundant supply of
river water first, either by larger “pump
ends’’ or larger distributing mains, or (as
originally intended) by a suitably located
stand pipe, and then, if you had any sur
plus wealth, you could have safely gone to
prospecting in the aesthetic direction. This
at least is the way it looks to one of the
Rabble.
(There were fires, and pretty big ones, be
fore there was any effort made to use arte
sian water. River water can he obtained
a< freely now as it over could. The supply
front the river has not lieen cut off. There
are two sources of supply now where there
was only one before the artesian wells were
sunk, and both are available. The lack of
supply, therefore, is not due to the artesian
wells. The fault must be elsewhere.
As to the artesian water, is it not purer
than the river water! The analysis shows
that it is. And if it is, it is certainly more
desirable than river water for both drinking
and washing purposes, particularly when
the river water is heavily laden with silt.
There was no voice raised against artesian
water when it was first proposed to sink
artesian wells. About everybody wanted
artesian water apparently. Probably about
everybody wants it now. Before condemn
ing artesian water it would be well to show
first, that it is not as desirable as river
water, and second, that the scant water
supply, of which complaint has been made,
is due to the artesian wells.— Ed.]
SWINDLER AJND BIGAMIST.
The Marvelous Career of the Swindler
Captured at Wtlkesbarre.
From Washington Letter to the Philadelphia
. Press.
About ten days ago Gen. Black, Com
missioner of Pensions, received information
that a person representing himself as F. A.
Raburn, was operating in Luzerne county,
Pa., in tho guise of a special examiner of the
Pension Bureau and demanding money for
imaginary s> rviees to Vie performed in con
nection with the prosecution of jiension
claims. As no special examiner is author
ized to receive money for his services,
• ten. Black knew that' the fellow was an
impostor and immediately took measures to
secure his arrest, which was efleeter! at
AVilkesbarre on Friday. It was not known
until to-day who Raburn really was, and the
capture was not fairly appreciated until it
was asccrtaided that lie is the most cele
brated pension swindler in the country. His
true name is Jeremiah Travis, and fie was
born in Tioga county. Pa., about fifty years
ago. Up to the breaking out of the war he
resided in Tioga county and then drifted
among the soldiers around Washington as a
cord sharp and runner for faro bunks.
(toon after the war ho got into an alterca
tion with a canalboat captain at Buffalo,
whom ho killed, but he managed to escape
with a sentence of only five years in State’s
prison. After his release, in 1873, he
turned up in Syracuse, N. Y., where he be
gan his old business of swindling. He mar
ried a Miss Webb, ami in less than one week
•after he began a desperate flirtation with n
widow named Parsons, in Canton, in the
same State, whom he wedded under the
title of Maj. Sheldon Burleigh, 11. S. A. He
tired of the widow within a few months,
and one morning took a fast train
for the west, and settled in South Bend,
Ind., under the name of H. C. Pomeroy,
where he undertook to promote doubtful
pension claims. There he married a
alias Mason, but soon deserted her and next
appeared in Wabash, Ind., as J. AV. Jenks,
owner of a California gold mine. He made
the acquaintance of Mrs. M. Stewart, who
owned a small farm, and after a few months
of courtship married her. She was induced
by Travis to sell her farm for SI,BOO in cash
and leave her home to lieconte the mistress
of a palatial mansion on the Pacific coast.
When the couple reached Chicago on their
way to California Travis borrowed the
money on pretense of taking better care of
it. 'llie newly-made wife never sate him
again and wandered about all night in the
great city.
Nothing more was heard of him until 1*79,
when he turned up in Allegheny countv.Pa.,
under the name of John Hoak. Having
been ariwted on the charge of grand lor
reny, he was convicted and sentenced to the
Allegheny penitentiary for thrv years. Af
ter serving his term he wenttoCunilierlund,
Md.. mid U'gan a career as a bogus special
examiner of pensions, giving ins name as
A. C. Webb. He also laid siege to the
heart of Mrs. J. P. Anderson, a widow
with one son. She surrendeml mid became
Mrs. A. C. Webb. Davis employed her
bov at a salary of A- SO a day, but never
l*id the salary. He fled from Cumberland
when the Pension Bureau officials arrived
there, and was traced to Marietta. Pa.,
where he was arrested, tin May tit, thH|'
lie was convicted in the United States Court
at Philadelphia and sentenced to two years
in tin' Kustern Penitentiary. After serving
his term he was taken to Mount Holly, N.
J., where he was tried lor obtaining money
from pensioners under false pretenses anil
sentenced to one year in the Burlington
county jail, from which institution he was
release 1 about a month ago.
Travis has swindled hundreds of people n
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and New
Jeiwey. His most successful schemes were
to jin.- , himself off ns a Hpo :al Examiner of
the Pension Bureau, as a Commissioner of
Pensions undo (tension detective. Fully SOU

WHAT THE SOUTH HAS DONE.
B. F. Ward, of Winona, Miss., Answers
an Article in the “Century.”
From the Jackson {Miss.) Clarion.
The South has been the land of “enter
prises of great pith and moment,” rather
than the nursery of scribblers. She has
made history for others to write and sell.
For more than 100 years the grand march
of the American intellect hAs been projected
from Southern brains.
The fine moral and intellectual organiza
tion of Southern children has heretofore been
largely due to the fact that their mothers
were exempt from the hardships of physical
drudgery aud the depressing effects of im
pending want.
Southern man lod the patriotic armies
to victory and established trie possibilities of
the proudest nation on the earth. A South
ern man was prime mover of the convention
that framed the constitution. When the
government was created its organic laws
were still an unexplained book, a ponderous
oar in unskilled hands.
It was left for the greatest legal, mind of
the age, a Southern Chief Justice, to ana
lyze and stamp upon it the construction
which will be accepted as long as the consti
tution is respected.
A Southern man framed the ordinance for
the organization and government of the
great Northwestern territory, an instru
ment second in importance only to the con
stitution of the United States.
A Southern man was the author of tho
republican theory of popular government,
which prevailed during the sixty years of
our greatest prosperity, peace anil happi
ness. Of the fifteen Presidents of the Con
tinental Congress eight were from slave
States.
Where is there an example of modern sea
manship that will compare with the daring
and brilliant cruise of Admiral Semruos,
who with a single ship swept frotp the seas
tlie commerce of a great nation! Who was
it that mapped the geography of the seas,
explained their secret phenomena, blazed
out on tho trackless ocean the shortest and
safest highways for tlie commerce of the
world, by his “Wind and Current Charts”
and his “Sailing Directions,” saving to the
United (States millions of dollars annually
on outgoing tonnage alone? Matthew F.
Maury, a Southern man to the core, and by
common consent of all nations accorded the
proud title of “Philosopher of the Seas.”
Where is there a parallel to Audubon, the
naturalist and ornithologist of the world?
Chloroform, that has robbed the surgeon’s
knife of all its terrors, was first applied by a
Southern physician.
The two greatest eras in surgerv for the
Inst two centuries, in fact, two of the great
est in surgical history, were marked by two
Southern physicians, Ephraim McDowell,
of Kentucky, and J. Marion Sims, of Ala
bama. In their respective branches the sur
gery of the whole enlightened world recog
nizes and follows the leadership of these
famous men.
Ben Hill was the only man in America
who ever made $1,000,000 as the direct pro
duct of his brain, independent of invest
ment or speculation; in addition to which
he gave fifteen of Lis best years ‘to active
public service.
The only approximation to his record was
that of another Southern lawyer, Judah P.
Ben jamin, who went to England after the
meridian of life and became the leading jur
ist in that land of great lawyers.
From 178!) to 1858, a period of sixty-four
years, embracing eleven administrations,
the slave States furnished eight Presidents,
whose terms of service covered fifty-two
years. During the same time the free States
furnished three Presidents, whose combined
terms covered twelve years.
Of the twelve A’ice Presidents, four were
from slave States.
Under these eleven administrations the
slave States supplied fourteen Secretaries of
State, eleven Secretaries of AA’ar, six Secre
taries of the Treasury, nine Secretaries of
the Navy and eight Postmaster Generals.
Of fifty-five Presidents pro tern, of the
Senate, thirty-nine were from slave States.
Of thirty-one Speakers of the House,
twenty-two were from slave States.
Of five Chief Justices, two, and the only
two of great eminence, were from slave
States.
Of twenty-nine Associate Justices, seven
teen were from slave States.
Of twenty-nine Attorney Generals four
teen were from slave States.
Of 185 public ministers to foreign coun
tries, ninety-nine were from slave States.
AVithout going further into exhaustive de
tails for which material is abundant, we
affirm, without fear of decent denial, that
along the lines of these fifty-two years are
ranged all the broad and lofty conceptions
of statesmanship, all the bold and fruitful
enterprises, all the grand and comprehen
sive achievements from which have evolved
tlie pride, the power and the glory of the
American jieople.
A Missouri editor referred in an article he
wrote to a local clergyman as ”au able preacher
and sterling Christian." He was mad enough to
spill somebody's gore the next day, when he
saw his well meant compliment changed to “an
able preacher and stealing Christian."
How to Get Strong.
Dumb-bells and horizontal bars, Indian
clubs and tlie trapez are valuable under cer
tain conditions, but they are detrimental,
rather than beneficial, if the blood is poor
and thin and poisoned with bile. Use of tlie
muscles necessitates waste as well as induces
growth. If the blood does not carry suf
ficient nutritive material to repair the
waste, loss of strength necessarily follows,
and growth is out or the question. Purify
and enrich your blood with Dr. Pierce’s
“Golden Medical Discovery,” and then ex
ercise will develop and not consume your
physique.
