Henry White, a young negro man about
30 years old, was instantly killed at the new
Foster street bridge, in Atlanta, at 10 o’clock
Friday morning. The bridge is nearing
completion, or at least the flooring of it is.
and Henry, with a number of others, was
put to sawing off the projecting ends of
some of the heavy cross pieces. In some
manner he lo6t his balance and fell to the
ground. He was killed as soon as he hit the
ground, the fall having smashed his right
shoulder, broken his right arm and both of
his legs, besides producing concussion of the
brain and rupturing internal blood vessels.
Henry had no relatives in the city, coming
but a short time since from Montgomery,
securing work soon after on the new bridge.
He was a faithful workman and cheerfully
performed all duties assigned him by the
foreman.
A reporter of the Banner-Watchman
has learned from a reliable gentleman at
Lula additional information in regard to the
relations that Mr. EchoLs held to the woman
that caused his death, which throws new’
light on the subject. It seems that the de
ceased had been married, but secured a
divorce. She afterward married again—a
very worthy man, we learn—and continued
to live near her former husband. Echola
discovered some time since that his divorced
wife was on intimate terms with the negro,
Charlie Edwards, who came from Athens
and was an employe on the Northeastern
railroad. He went to the woman’s husband
and told him of the facte, and advised
that he put a stoD to the intimacy.
It is denied that Echols hod resumed
relations with his former wife, but that
he visited her bouse on that fatal night
to frustrate the design of the negro, and not
to gratify nis own evil passions. Nothing,
however, is known of what occurred at her
house that night. It is the general impres
sion that the woman put the negro up to
killing Echols, as she was enraged against
him for exposing her conduct to her hus
band. and this belief is strengthened by the
fact that the woman fled the country even
before the murder became known. (3ur in
formant further says that the negro, who is
now in Clarkesville jail, would have been
lynched by the outraged populace, but for
the fact that they are waiting to capture
the woman, when the pair will be swung off
together.

The Tampa quarantine station fs located
at Ballast Point, seven miles Horn town,
across the bay, where all suspected persons
will serve a fifteen days probation. With
the precautions now taken there is scarcely
a probability that the fever will reach the
city. The Plant Steamship Company will
put up a telephone lino from the city to the
quarantine station to facilitate communica
tion with that point.
Tampa Tribune: The Plant Steamship
Company have furnished tents, bedding and
everything necessary for the comfortable
equipment of the quarantine station at
Ballast Point, and also furnish provisions at
cost. Too much praise cannot be given this
company for the assistance they are giving
the health boards of this and other portions
of the State in keeping the infection from
getting to the mainland.
The Orlando and Oakland’rail way has had
a complete survey and estimates made, but
no further movements have been made.
The estimated cost of the line is 855,000, or
thereabout, and the opinion has been ex
pressed by responsible parties that this
amount can be easily raised in subscriptions
and donations from the section through
which it proposes to pass. The present
rapid growth of Oakland and Orlando justi
fies the expectation that such a road would
pay.
Key West Democrat: Some time ago
Peter Williams, of Key West, in an
argument before a meeting of the
Board of Health, the Aldermen and
citizens, held to discuss proper methods of
sanitation, advanced the idea and claimed
that the removal of the pigs from the streets
would cause yellow fever. Well the pigs
were removed, and yellow fever has come.
Whether or not it is due to the removal of
the pigs we leave to be discussed by our
learned friends and the Board of Health.

for an injunction against W. T. King, col
lector of the city revenue, restraining him
from collecting the taxes assessed against
the property of the said H. E. Miller. This
involves the question of the legality of
Ocala s assessment for city purposes, and is
of immense interest to the whole communi

score of other suits against that munici
pality.
Mr. Thursby, an old settlpr of Blue
Spring, says that the upper St. John's is
gradually becoming more shallow, and it is
merely a’ matter of time, he says, when the
former St. John's, with its beautiful wind
ing current, will be a thing of the past.
He says that thirty years ago its current
was swift, and all the way up from Blue
Spring Landing the channel would average,
from 15 to 20 feet in depth, but now it is not
more than from 6 to 10 feet, and some of
the .steamers must pull through the mud in
a great many places.
A. Wilson, of Bartow, has been down to
the Indian settlements in the extreme south
ern part of the State, sent by the Govern
ment to confer with the Indians in regard
to locating them on homesteads. He savs
they manifest, some indecision on the sub
ject, but he thinks he will eventually suc
ceed in locating them. They want time to
consider the matter, and ask him to return
in “two moons,” when they would have
their green com deuce, when all of them
would bo there. They arc illy clad, live
filthy and have a foot of land they can
call their own.
Orange City Times: Mrs. Hattie Walkley,
wife of A. W. Walkley, of DeLand. has
transferred her affection to one— Hall, a
young man who has made DeLand his head
quarters the past winter. The Times is un
able to get the particulars. It seems that
the two met by agreement in Jacksonville a
few days ago, where they took a train for
Savannah, thence to N r eiv York by steamer.
Walkley, who is wild with grief, got on
track of them, and writes from Savannah
that he is only one steamer behind them.
He will make it hot for young Hall if they
are overtaken. Mr. and*Mrs. Walkley re
sided for several months at this place, but
returned to DeLand in the spring.
There is some amusement developed by

Capt. Frank (C. Howard, of this city, went
up to Palatka on business; when the train
arrived at West Tocoi a negro appeared in
the door and sung out: “Raft ideates, gen
tlemen.” The Captain was engaged in con
versation at the tune, and when Stiller came
through the train to inspect the health cer
tificates, Capt. Howard handed hint a letter
of introduction to parties in Palatka, in
stead of the Board of Health certificate. The
darky patiently rend it and handed it back,
saying: “It am all right, sar,” when the
Captain observed the mistake and made the
same known to his fellow-passengers, all
enjoyed a hearty laugh at the expense of t he
Palntka official.
Friday night the Jacksonville division of
the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias was
formerly organized under the most favor
able circumstances with about thirty mem
bers. The organization was perfected by
the election of the following officers: Sir
Knight Commander, Rhydon M. Call; Sir
Knight Lieutenant Commander, Goode H.
Fleming; Sir Knight Herald, Paul N. Belin
da; Sir Knight Recorder, William De-
Lacy; Sir Knight Treasurer. M. M. Beli
sario; Sir Knight Guard, Tilman White;
Sir Knight Sentinel, Max Wagner. On
motion it was decided to name the rank
“Jacksonville Division,” tho number to lie
assigned by the Supreme F/odge. The
Knights of Pythias are growing very rapid
ly in Jacksonville now, perhaps much faster
than any other order of the kind in that
city.
The Florida Midland railway is pushing
on toward Kissimmee, nnd 1,000 tons of
rails—enough to finish the road to Kissim
mee—have arrived at Femandina, and will
be forwarded at once. The roadl>ed of the
Florida Midlaud is excelled by no road in
tho State, and is equalled bv only one, viz.,
tho Jacksonville, Tampa and Key Westrail
way. Tho admirable smoothness of the
Midland roadbed tsdue to the skill and
energy of B. F. Hancock, who lias thereby
cxlubuod a piece ot workmanship that inuVe
well stand as a pattern for other railroad
men to follow for a long time to come. Jt
is worthy of all that lias ever been said in
favor of it, This company is erecting a
good depot at Gotha’ the dimensions of
which are 16x50 feet. Rails are being laid
several miles south of Gotha, and their road
will bo completed to Kissimmee in July.
The through freight train from Tampa on
the South Florida railroad, which gets into
Sanford at 3:15 a. in., met with what might
have been a serious accident on the Y just
before getting into town Friday morning.
It seems that the switch, from some cause,
was left open, and as the engine, pulling a
very long train of cars, reached it the
first wheels took the side track, but
the lever which governs the switch
being loose, the weight of the engine
forced it into position before the
driving wheels could get on to the siding.
Thus the front wheels were on one track and
the drives on another. Although the train
was running at a very low rate of speed the
force of the train threw the engine across
the track, several fiat cars were derailed,
and other things were in a more or less in
jured condition. The damages, so says Supt.
Swoope, wifi not exceed troni 8300 to 8500.
Some of Hermann’s Tricks.
From the IVeie York Tribune.
In an up-town manager’s office the other
day a little group of theatrical men were
talking about the interstate commerce bill
and other cheerful subjects, when a tall,
thin, swarthy man. with a dark curling
moustache and imperial, entered. He was
received by a shout of welcome. “Now for
some entertainment,” -aid one of those
present, and in a very few minutes the
prophecy was fulfilled. The newcomer was
Hermann, a magician, who contrives to
make things generally lively wherever he
may happen to find himself. After replying
good-humoredly to a torrent of questions
about his recent Brooklyn adventure—he
was led to a police station and nar
rowly escaped spending the night
in a lockup for plaving a
practical joke on the occupants of a street
car—he said ill French-English: “It was
great fun, boys, though 1 hare not yet seen
a strictly true account of it. It made itself
as thus: I find myself in a street-car with
two or three worthy people who look as
though they were'too sleepy and need
waking up. I wake them. Instead of
thanking me they accuse me to a policeman
of picking their' pockets. The policeman
takes me to the station house with my sleepy
friends. The Sergeant there takes the charge
down and asks me for what vou
call my pedigree. I give it to him
and am about to be sent to a
dungeon, when with all the politenesss at
my command I sav: Will the olonsieurs not
search their pockets and see if they have been
truly robbed? They do so. The one who
has lost a watch finds the pocketebook of the
other ill his tail pocket. The pocket-book
man finds a gold watch in his trouser
pocket, while a diamond pin which the third
man has lost is neatly pinned in the lapel of
the worthy policeman. Once more speaking
politely I ’ say: ‘Hold on, I too, have some
thing lost,’ and taking off the hat of the ser
geant I show him underneath the lining a
roll of greenbacks. They say no word, and
I, bowing politely once more, leave the
station house.”
For the next ten minutes Hermann turned
the gathering iato a private seance and ex
hibited in rapid succession some really as
tonishing sleight of hand tricks. One of
the party was rolling a cigarette. “Give
me a cigarette paper," said Hermann. The
littlo bx>k or cigarette papers was handed
to him: he took one out and began deliber
ately tearing the slip of tissue paper into
eight or ten small pieces. These he folded
together once or twice and then passed them
to one of the party. “Roll it tight,” said
he, “between.your linger and thumb.” The
request was complied with, and a little ball
of paper, the size of a pea, was the result
of the process. “Unroll that.” saKl Her
mann, “but mind you do not drop tlfe'Vfieces
on the floor ” The little ball was carefully
unrolled and found to boa
piece of paper of the exact size and,make
of that taken from the boflk and
torn by the conjurer. As the sub
ject gazed blankly at this astonishing
transformation, Herman took it
from him and folded it in two once more,
and giving it him back told him again to
roll it into a small ball. This was done, and
when it was once again unfolded, half a
dozen scraps of torn paper were all that re
mained. He took a tobacco pouch from the
smoker and with a quick upward move
ment threw it into the air. It was gone,
completely vanished, and it need hardly be
said was found in the breast pocket of an
innocent on looker. This was one of Her
mann’s cleverest deceptions, and one of
those present said he nad frequently seen
him perforin it with a wineglass half full of
wine. He took the same tobacco pouch and
letting it rest in the palm of his hand, held
hi.s hand well out from his body. He then
closed his white fingers upon it, opened his
hand again, and the poucli was gone, to re
appear in a pigeon-nole of the manager's
desk.
Coins changed from silver to gold, a dia
mond ring mysteriously changed from the
finger of one hand to the finger of the other
without an apparent movement, and (ill
these startling little tricks, depending, of
course, u|>on pure sleight of hand, were ac
companied by an amusing chatter which
served the double purpose of entertaining
his friends and attracting their attention at
critical moments. Among the many stories
he told was one which seemed to one of his
hearers to possess a certain novelty. Some
one had said, when the name of a well
known prevaricator was introduced, that
he thought he roally believed many of his
lies himself. IC I knew once” said
Hermann, “a business man in Mar
seilles who was accustomed to
dine every day at a little restaurant near
the harbor. Qne day he went to his dinner
and found every place occupied. He was in
a hurry, and being a Gascon his fertile im
agination hit on an expedient Ho slipped
out of the restaurant and rushing in at the
front door called out, ‘There is an enormous
whale in the harbor, and it is likely to do
barm to the shipping. The excitement Is
terrible.’ Every one jumped to his feet and
in a few seconds the place was deserted.
Even the waiters left their tables. The wily
Gascon as he watched them going, fidgeted
about a bit, anil then exclaiming, ‘I should
not wonder if it were true, I must go and
see it myself,’ rushed off to look at the
whale he had invented himself.”

Yesterday afternoon two ladies, who were
passengers on a south-bound Broadway car,

Just after they left n gentleman who had

nenos!”
“1 did not mean to bo impertinent; only I
thought you nfight like to know”—
“I would like to know nothing from you,
sir. If you address me again I will calf the
floor walker nnd have you arrested.”
“All right; I found and purse after you left
the car, but if you don’t want it I don’t
care.”

came over her face.
“Oh. I have lost my purse. I am so much
obliged to you. It had all the money for my
summer dresses In it. 1 don’t knoiv how to
thank you enongh.”
After she bad identified the property the
gentleman returned it with a sardonic
smile.
