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. Omaha Sister—Well, if you feel that po litenem requires it you might have him come lust before he leave* town.

I might bring him up some time when you are out.” “Well, 1 11—I'll lx" out a few minutes this evening. ’ —Umuiia World. 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*. * * * * Young or middle-aged men suffering from nervous debility or other del icate diseases, however induced, speedily and permanently cured.
