PALATKA AS SHF. IS.
HER FRUITFUL RESOURCES AND
BRILLIANT FUTURE.
Her Substantial Wharves, Hotels,
Business Houses, Railroads, Etc. -The.
Growing Traffic Over the Florida
Southern-The Clyde Steamship Line
—A Great Project Manufacturing
Enterprises, Etc.
The tourists investigating Florida, after
laaving her famous metropolis and proceed
ing “down south,” but up the St. John's
which Rows north, or travels by rail over
the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
road some fifty miles, is astonished to behold
in such near proximity another city fully
equipped with substantial wharves, elegant
and spacious hotels, numerous and enter
prising business houses, important industries,
far-reaching railroads, a refined society,
growif% commerce, influential press, and
all the elements and addenda that make up
a thrifty and progressive community. This
is beautiful Palatka, which is the head of
jeep navigation on the river, and one
r>f the most important and commanding
business centres in the State. Indeed there
is no other location in the eastern portion of
the peninsula that combines so many ad
vantages as a port of entry and distributing
point for the commerce of Florida. Here
the largest steamer or ship that can cross the
bar of the St. Johns river, may come di
rectly to the wharves and discharge, or re
ceive its cargo, 100 miles by water nearer to
the consumers and producers of the interior,
than at Jacksonville. A network
of railroads also, radiating in every
direction, afford easy communication
with all parts of the Union, and the fruits
and vegetable products of a large area of
country are concentrated here, and either
marketed, or shipped elsewhere. The salu
brity of the climate, too, and The lofty hills
in the rear, which afford delightful retreats
to many from the summer heats, offer ad
ditional attractions to those seeking a home
in Florida. One great drawback, however,
to the prosperity of the town, is the lack of
WHOLESALE BUSINESS HOUSES,
But with the extraordinary facilities
offered through the several railroads reach
ing out in every direction through the pen
insula, for the reception and handling of
commodities of every kind, this want cannot
exist much longer. Several large hardware
establishments and capacious warehouses
are already in position, and the number in
other lines of business will doubtless soon be
increased.
As an evidence of the growing traffic
over the Florida Southern railroad it may
be mentioned that 175,000 boxes of oranges
were received here by the main line during
the past season, while the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West road affords a com
plete outlet to the North, and the St. Augus
tine and Palatka railway, completed within
a year, brings the historic city of the At
lantic coast within fifty minutes ride of Pa
latka.
Another railway, the St. John’s and Hali
fax, only recently opened, has already de
veloped the picturesque town of Daytona
into a flourishing city, and will make tribu
tary to this place a large portion of the In
dian river trade. Still, there seems to be
no limit to the push and enterprise of this
growing city, for we find that a company
has been organized to eofltfruct a road
from Palatka to Tallahassee, tinder the
auspices of leading and reliable capi
talists, and to complete the cordon
and highways, still another is in
contemplation, with every assurance of suc
cess. The latter, it is said, will be built by
the Florida Sonthem Railway Company, on
a direct line to Bartow and at a saving of
forty-five miles to its gulf connections. It
is proposed to start the new road from Pa
latka and go south along the St. John’s
river for thirty miles to Salt Springs, thence
to a point on the St. John's and Eustis di
vision (a branch of the Florida Southern),
thence by that road to Tavares, and then
direct to Bartow. This route is
almost an air line and passes through
one of the best fruit and agricultural dis
tricts in Florida. It is believed that the
Florida Southern will decide to build the
proposed road on the eastern shore of the
St. Johns, as the more populous and eligible
side of that river. In that event the bridge
across the river would probably be placed
at Mt. Royal, and the construction thence
be continued on the Western bank. But
whatever the precise route may be, the
building of the l oad seems to be a fixed fact..
It is asserted that Mr. W. P. Couper, the
veteran engineer of the Florida Southern,
with a full corps of assistants, will begin the
survey immediately.
The new road will probably bear the
name of the ‘"Florida Construction Com
pany,” while practically the property “all
the some” of the “Floridq. Southern.”
THE CLYDE STEAMSIHP LINE.
But the biggest bonanza in sight for Pa
latka is the well authenticated report that 1
the service of that line will be extended
thither early in the ensuing fall. The Board
of Trade has been making strenuous efforts
to achieve this result, and only recently"!ts
President has visited New York and held
a conference with the Clyde managers
on the subject. Ever}" business house
in Palatka entered into a written agreement
to give their entire New York freights to
this line of steamers if they would come to
their city. And while in the absence of a
positive contract, in the premises, they have
every assurance that it will be done, and are
jubilant over the prospect.
It is announced that all of the shipjiers
south of Palatka will follow suitj and send
their products over this line, which would
tax its carrying capacity to the utmost. Of
course the Florida Southern is
greatly interested in this move
ment, as it must have a Northern
outlet for its business, and since the taking
off of the Charleston line has Icon looking
around for some such arrangement. Lost
season much of its freight was sent North
by the circuitous route of Gainesville, but
t&e “Clyde Line” will supersede auv such
roundabout operations. *
A GREAT PROJECT.
It is in contemplation to bridge the St.
John's river at Palatka and erect in that
city a union depot for tto accommodation
of all the roads diverging from that point.
The proposition meets with universal favor,
not only from the railroads, but the people
generally. When this great scheme will be
t in fait accompli cannot just now be stated,
but the timo is not far distant. The precise
location is still a matter of controversy, but
doubtless somo compromise that will recon
cile conflicting interests will be adopted. It,
is projiostsl to model the bridge after one of
the grand iron structures in Chicago, with
railway track and sidewalks for foot passen
pn.
A PLUCKY CITY.
Only two years ago every business house
in Palatka was swept away by a conllagrn
tion. Yet to-day it is a city of magnificent
lirick blocks and residences, many of which
are elegant and imjiosiiig structures. The
town boasts a hotel (the Putnam)
that cost SIIO,OOO, and has a frontage
of SKJ4 feet, with two spacious wings,
is three stories high, and occupies an
entirft square in the heart of the city. The
house can accommodate 500 guests, and a
copious artesian well furnishes pure water
throughout the premises and jierfect tire
protection. The Hotel Pbonix, Huratoga,
Carlton and other establishments, not re
membered, afford excellent board for at
least 1,200 winter visitors. Your scriiie was
the guest, of the Haratoga Hotel, which, ill
the absence of the proprietor, isadmirahly
managed by Mr. John Baxter and his ami
able spouse.
WATER WORKS.
The town is amply supplied with good
drinking water and for all other purpoere,
drawn from n subterranean stream ton
miles distant. It is pumped into a capacious
reaervoir on the “heights” and distributed
in the usual manner throughout the tallest
structures in the city. The flow is inex-
LaukWUc. With a lull pressure a three-inch
stream can be thrown over the loftiest
pinnacle of the Putnam House.
THE GROWTH OF THE CITY.
This has been most remarkable. During
the past two years, by actual count, 522
houses have been erected, including twenty
four elegant business blocks, containing
sixty-five store rooms and 234 offices. These
are from two to three stories high and very
handsome. The total cost of the latter
alone was over $1,000,000. The block of the
Florida Southern embraces immense ware
housed, with a side track running its entire
length, and is an ornament to the city.
Several of the private residences are
really magnificent—notably those of Maj.
Connnt, General Manager of the Florida
Southern railroad, and Mr. S. J. Kennerly,
the proprietor of the Putnam House.
THE BOARD OF TRADE,
organized less than two months ago, now
numbers 125 members, representing every
business house in the city, and subdivided
into fourteen standing committees, who
have charge respectively of the varied in
terests of the community. The President,
Martin Griffin, Esq., is a capitalist of en
larged views and great enterprise, while the
energetic and laborious Secretary, S. U.
Hammond is eminently qualified* for the
position he occupies. On its roll may be
found such sterling citizens as Maj. 8.
Conant, W. D. Winegar, H. L. Hart, M.
Loeb, Charles Underwood, M. Hauffhton,
E. T. Lane, W. F. Forward, C. P. Dove
reux, N. J. White, W. W. Mitchell and
others equally worthy, whose names cannot
be recalled.
The board is already a permanent institu
tion anil ihost important factor for goixl to
this entire region. The movement to make
this city the Southern terminus of the Clyde
Line is theirs, and practical steps have been
taken also to encourage immigration, and
for the construction of a
BEAUTIFUL DRIVE WAY,
which will take in every point of interest
in and around the city, on tho river and
upon the adjacent “Heights.” Tho esti
mated cost of this magnificent boulevard
will be $12,00!), of which $7,000 has already
been e contributed. When completed this
will greatly add to the attractions of
Palatka in the eye of the invalid and tourist.
The board is also advertising their town ev
teusively, and propose soon to issue a
pamphlet setting forth its peculiar advan
tages in an edition of 50,000 copies.
MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES.
Negotiations, we learn, are on foot for the
erection of a cigar factory, two extensive
saw mills, and a large plant for the manu
facture of commercial fertilizers. Two
brickyards also in the vicinity will shortly
supply an abundance of building material.
The clay is of a bright red color, and the
brick fashioned from it are particularly
durable and handsome.
AN ENTERPRISING CITIZEN.
Col. H. L. Hart, of steamboat and orange
growing renown, in addition to his home op
erations, is about to put on a line of
two steamers to ply between Kissimmee
City, Charlotte Harbor and Fort Myers.
He is the owner of 8,000 bearing orange
trees, and is emphatically a sejf-made and
most deserving citizen.
THE PALATKA PRESS
comes fully up to the requirements of the
situation. The Daily News says it has come
to stay, and really publishes a live and en
terprising sheet. We wish our brethren all
the success they so richly deserve. In fine,
Palatka is strong in the affections and good
sense of her worthy citizens, and in far
reaching enterprise, sagacity and solid work
is the peer of any city of double the popula
tion in the Union. The Morning News is
greatly appreciated here, and its roll of sub
scribers constantly increasing.
GREEN COVE SPRINGS.
The writer paused only for a brief season
at this charming health resort—not long
enough to visit its lions and do justice to
the pretty town, which is the seat of justice
for Clay county. This must be reserved for
another occasion; suffice it to say that finer
moss-covered virgin groves and deeper,
greener “bosky dells,” where love-lorn
couples delight to linger, are not to be found
on the continent. Under the polite guid
ance, however, of the courtly mayor,
HON. H. E. BEMIS,
we did, however, take a short stroll to
the noble spring and its lovely surroundings,
and formed the acquaintance of several citi
zens. Among these was the proprietor of
the St. Clair Hotel and a large general store.
■Mr. Theodore T. Edgerton, who has resided
in Florida for twenty years, and is a rela
tive of the late Col. Edgerton Brown, of
Macon. We also exchanged greetings with
Mr. George N. Bardin, for many years the
popular Clerk of the Circuit Court, and an
old friend, Jasper Green, formerly from
Macon. These are all readers and admirers
of the Morning News. But “time is up,”
and here the writer takes unceremonious
leave of his patient reader. H. H. J.
A TIPSY WOMAN'S FREAK.
She Creates a Scene in Trinity Episco
pal Church.
From the Washington Post.
Quite a ripple of excitement was caused
yesterday at the morning service at Trinity
P. E. church, on C and Third streets north
west, by the intrusion of an intoxicated
Irish woman, with a very red face, an an
tiquated bonnet and a faded black dress.
During the most solemn part of the service,
when Dr. Addison was administering holy
communion, tho woman staggered up the
steps and stopped at the door of the church,
evidently in search of a basin of holy water
with which to bless herself. The sexton had
gone into tho vestry, and as the attention of
the congregation was concentrated on the
solemn ceremonial of the communion no one
noticed the woman’s entrance.
After looking around vainly, she stag
gered to a seat in one of the real - pews,
making genuflections at every step and en
deavoring to conceal an oblong bundle
wrapped up in a newspaper and carried
under her arm. The pew which she entered
was already well filled with fashionably
attired young ladies.
By this time tho attention of the whole
congregation hail become attracted toward
the strange woman, but no one ventured to
interfere with her for fear of creating a dis
graceful scent* in the church. The minister
paused for mi instant and looked at the
woman sternly, then went on distributing
the broad and wine, while the intruder,
carefully depositing her bundle at her side,
knelt down, and, taking somo beads
from her pocket, incoherently chanted
them aloud. A minute or two
later she loudly signified her intention of
taking communion, and lmd started toward
the chancel with that intention, when Wil
liam Coppinger, the senior warden of tho
church, who snt just behind her, grasped
her arm and led her to the door. She made
no resistance; but just ns she crossed the
threshold the mysterious bundle fell with a
loud crash, and iv strong odor of whisky per
meated the sacred edifice.
When the woman was fairly outside, the
sexton was dispatched for a policeman, and
Officer Harlow was soon escorting her to the
Sixth precinct police statiou. There she re
fused to give uer name, and a charge of
disorderly conduct was preferred against
her.
Omalrn Brother—My old college chum,
De Gallante. is in tho city. He's a splendid
fellow, and if he was only a different kind
of a man I'l invite him to the house.

“Oh!”

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1887.
A BROOKLYN INVENTOR
Who Thinks He Has Solved the Aerial
Navigation Problem.
FVom the Brooklyn Eagle.
Have you ever had the pleasure of talk
ing with an enthusiast, a man ‘ who was
wrapped up in his inventions, his pet
schemes? How many people in Brooklyn
have had this experience? Do yon want it?
Then come with nie as I pick my way
through the Gowanus Canal region of the
city and finally arrive at. a row of plain,
yet neat brick tenement houses on Douglass
street. Certain papers in my possession led
me to believe that lam in search" of either
a fraud or a genius. Which will he prove
to be? The bell, is, rung, the door is
opened and a large, tog, looking man bids
me welcome. Ushered into a parlor still
bearing traces of refinement and former
thrift, I am immediately cognizant of the
fact that 1 am in the,pvjjS6uceof a man who,
if he has hobby, has otic for mechanics of
some kind or other, for upon the walls hang
models of inventions, diplomas from the
American Institute; scattered about on the
tables are drawings, draughts of machines,
etc. Making known my errand, lam met
with a burst of confidence that is refreshing
and an unbosoming of self that is unique.
Who is this man? Let him tell his own
story.
“My name is Carl WWfaug Peterson. I
am a native of Holstein. My more remote
ancestors were Norsemen and my immediate
ones either navigators or shipbuilders. I
couldn’t very well help being a sailor, you
see. When but a boy of 13 I shipped at
Hamburg for New Orleans and there I man
aged to get a year’s schooling, all that I
have ever had in English. I soon shipped on
a California packet as a subordinate. In
due time I rose to the rank of master, and
for years was a trusted commander of
the largest vessels in the Pacific and Indian
Ocean trade. My life, which was pub
lished in Hamburg in 1870, gives a history
of my adventures while a sailor. I know
what it is to very narrowly escape falling
into the hands of cannibals; once with my
ship’s crew, I held at bay the entire popula
tion of a South Sea island while waiting ’to
be taken off. Ere long I drifted into the
whaling service. It was while on one of
these voyages in the North sea in the
vicinity of Behring Straits that I became
convinced of the futility of ever expecting
to reach the North pole by ship or sled, on
water or land, and not until aerial naviga
tion becomes an established mode of trans
portation will there ever lie
a successful North pole exploring ex
pedition. • After many of these whaling
voyages I settled down in San Francisco ana
opened a machine shop, drove a good busi
ness and found time to put in form and cold
metal what had hitherto been fancies of my
brain, for while on shipboard I thought that
I had discovered a contrivance or two that
would be beneficial to navigators. After I
had accumulated propex’ty and gathered
together the models of several inventions I
started East. Shipowners and builders in
the East saw the worth of my inventions
and I sold them to good advantage.
“Having had a lire full of adventure,hav
ing made my pile, I naturally turned my
face toward home and relatives and went
back to Hamburg, where I opened and fitted
up one of the largest ship building yards in
the country and made money without any
trouble at all. I bad a good deal of time to
myself and spent it in studying astronomy,
trying to solve the problem of aerial navi
gation, and in experimenting in the con
struction of a self-righting life-boat. I did
this latter feat in 1868 to the satisfaction of
the German Life Saving institution and tile
Royal National Lifeboat Association of
London, Eng., from which I received in
1869 the annual award of £IOO, the first to a
foreigner. I not only built a self-righting
lifeboat propelled by oars, but a self-righting
boat propelled by steam. Tiie furnaces were
so swung that they remained vertical no
matter what the position of the boat. I
could tell some stories about those English
men, too, if I wanted to. Oh, sir, if I had
done what some men wanted me to I could
have been rolling in wealth to-day. I staid
in England about five years. During my ab
sence my partner had attended to the busi
ness in Hamburg and a nice trick he served me
too. One day some men walked into the
yard and, after surveying everything, told
me they wanted possession. It almost made
me crazy. My hair turned white in a very
short time. My partner, the scoundrel, had
cheated me in my absence, and I only Saved
a few thousand thalers from the wreck and
again turned my face to this country where
I nad made my first money. The Yankees
are bad enough, but German scoundrels are
worse. Of course by this time I had a large
family. What was Ito do?
“From the year 1858, when a whaler on
board the ship Martha, in the vicinity of
Behring Straits, I had first thought of
aerial navigation down to the present time
I have never ceased to give it my best,
thought. The essential and distinguishing
features of mv present scheme I discovered
in 1869. All that I have done since has been
to perfect and. improve in minor matters.
When I arrived in this country a second
time I went right away to men with money
and I showed them my model of aerial war
ships, and explained my invention. They
saw the worth of it and formed the Ameri
can Aerial Navigation Company and made
me President. For a tune we had offices at
231 Broadway, New York City, where
two large models of tho train of airships
attracted large crowds. I received a high
Rivard at the American Institute and per
sonal letters from Gen. Norton praising the
invention. The money necessary to Build
two of these airships was not forthcoming,
however, and troubles began to spring up
in the Board of Directors. Asa conse
quence of this we had to move from our
commodious offices on Broadway to 262
Thirteenth street. Bouth Brooklyn, and
after a miserable life there left it, and -now
whatever office the company has is here in
this room. I wish I could tell you all I
know. How some scoundrels are working
against me; how the directors have tried to
get all my share of this invention away
from me.
“You see this invention, if it is worth
anything at all, will revolutionize methods
of warfare. One of my airships can hover
over any one of your great cities and de
stroy it in an hour and you can do nothing
to prevent the destruction. To stop the
fusilude of dynamite bombs and combusti
bles that would be carried and showered
down u[am the buildings it would be necet
snry to disable the ship. The same force of
gravity that would aid my projectiles
m finding terra llnua would prevent
your projectiles from reaching the alti
tude at which the ship
Tim Anarchists realize tholflaiuo of
my invention. The national government
ought to dwn it. I have discovered a new
motive power that will be used in propelling
these ships. What it is no one Knows. I
discovered long ago that dynamite could ho
used in projectiles and sufelyjflred from
ordnance. The Austrian and hJliiati armies
have used a simple device of mine for nearly
a score of years. It's a puteut porta
hammock so rigged that the muskets of t
soldiers furnish support, and each soldier
instetui of sleeping upon’the ground reclines
in a strong but light hammock. Here are
letters from the highest officials of Ger
many, England and the United States.
[Letters produced.] They show you that I
am well known as an inventor, mariner and
shin builder and am a capable man, and yet
to-day, skilled mechanic mid draughtsman
that I um, speaking English, German and
Scandinavian though I do, I mu without
employment and income, and why? These
baa men arc after me. They hound me al
most to death. 1 suppose they’d like noth
ing better than to see me die and then con
trol my invention.”
My query was answered. As I left the
home of Capt. Peterson I decided that lie
way not a fraud, but a geniu*.
