2 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.

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 sary number of the members of the county board to defraud the county, and thnt Mc- Garigle was I he clearing house of the boodle pool. Judge Sheiiard ruled that all hills should be admitted. MISSOURI STORMS.

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.

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.

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.
