Albany is to have anew bank, a street railroad and water works. The spirit of en terprise is abroad in the land, anclit can find no more profitable field than Albany.

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.

T'ne first Catholic service held in Orlando : was held in the residence of R. A. Mills, a former resident of Dubuque nnd Sioux City, la. It was nearly five years ago, and but about half a dozen were present. The now Catholic church is the best in the city, if not in the county, and the membership is about fifty. The Blue Springs, Orange City and Apop ka Railway Company should put a steamer of their own on the Halifax to mu in con nection with the road. On account of high price for tickets to the inlet and return from Smyrna the Sunday schools of Orange City had to indefinitely postpone their excursions to the beach. Strict quarantine regulations went into effect at Mosquito Inlet Wednesday under direction of the County Board of Health. Two officers are stationed there, one on the north and one on south beach. Should the yellow fever get upon the mainland from Key West, Volusia will lie well protected by the quarantine regulations in force. The poruological fact itself frequently re futes the assertion that apples will not grow in Florida, for they mature fully in the highlands of Middle Florida, where the “June apple” ripens in May. Hou. Mat thew G. Floyd, of the legislature, exhibits fine specimens raised on his place in Gads den county, fragrant, sweet and of good size. The Tavares, Apopka and Gulf railroad has reached a point seven miles northeast of Oakland, and construction trains will be miming into that town within sixty days. It is understood that this company will buiki a spur of their road around the eastern side of Lake Apopka, and tan the rich nest of orange groves that lie east and northeast of the lake Fire destroyed a small frame building at Orlando Friday noon, belonging to Judge Norment and occupied by a negro family. A hose was attached to the fire plug 2<>o rods away, and after force was applied from water works engine, a powerful stream was thrown on the fire and kept it from spread ing. Loss, about 8200. Tally one for Or lando water works. 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. On Friday last McConnell & Ingrain, at torneys for Hugh E. Miller, marie applica tion to the Court of Chancery, at Ocala, 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 ty, inasmuch as out of it may spring a 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 the quarantine regulations, savs the Nett: *- Herald, as well as bother. Chi Thursday 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.” He Was Not a Masher. From the Xete York Mail and Express. Yesterday afternoon two ladies, who were passengers on a south-bound Broadway car, alighted in front of a big dry goods store. Just after they left n gentleman who had been seated next them noticed a plethoric nurse on the sent, lie picked it up, jumped from the car anti hastened after the ladies, who had disappeared within the store. After a brief search he located the ladies at the silk txmnter. He approached, and, raising his hat. said: “Ladies, I was sitting next you in a Broad . way car 1 ’ -J “Sir,” exclaimed the youngest of jflv ladies, “what do you mean by this imrieflr 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.” The gentleman turned to walk nivny. The lady felt in her pocket and a sudden change 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.
