At Bnmesville, Saturday, the ease of John
F. Taylor vs. the Central Railroad and
Ranking Company, was decided in favor of
Taylor. The case is only one of many in
stituted by tho merchants of Baniesville
i against tho Central Railroad in order to re
cover damages caused by the groat fire of
1884, which was started by a locomotive
throwing sparks on some cotton stand
ing on the railroad wharf. Mr. Taylor ob

undoubtedly have it to pay.
MiUedgevillo Chronicle: Mr. B. IV. Scott
brought us a branch of a mulberry tree
which grows on the place of Mr. Troup Al
len, of 1 lancock county, which differs from
any we have ever seen. The leaf, hark, etc.,
is identical with the old barren mulberry
trees which are used so much for shade
t rees in this section. Tho difference consists
in a peculiar green ball which grows in the
place of tho berry. A crimson and white
bloom comes out over this ball which some
what resembles cedar halls in wet weather.
This flower is as sweet as honey, and the
children eat them with impunity. Several
other trees have been propagated from this
and each comes true to the parent tree.
A cigarette drummer from North Caro
lina came to Athens about four years ago
and mado one of the wholesale houses here
his agent, and sold them 50,000 cigarettes to
start with. The goods did not come up to
the sample, ami the wholesale house used
every effort to make the North Carolina
firm take them back, but to no purpose,
even refusing to answer their letters. Tho
drummer returned a few days ago and went
to the same house w ith a different brand of
cigarettes, and in signing tho contract the
book keeper saw that the drummer was the
same man who had sold them four years lie
fore. He denied being the same until the
houso pinned it down on him, and then
owned up and begged forgiveness, but the
house canceled their order.
Wednesday, while J. R. Thomas, of
Waynes Giro, and all his family, except Mr.
Mack Thomas, were enjoying themselves at
the jubilee picnic, a fire broke out at, his
home, destroying the dwelling and outbuild
ings. Muck Thomas, who was superintend
ing some hoeing in the rear of the building,
was attracted by the roaring of the flames
and at once saw that tho top of the dwelling
was enveloped in flames. The fire spread so
rapidly that only a few necessaries were
saved, such ns several mattresses, a bureau
(in which there was some clothing and val
uable papers) and an old family Bible. The
family was left without a change of cloth
ing, and but fen - the kinil invitation of
friends would not have had a place “whereon
to lav their heads.” The loss is estimated
at H.OJO, on which there is an insurance for
$5,500.
At Ellaville the Superior Court ndjourned
Saturday morning. The noted case of the
State vs. Charles Blackman, the murderer
of Stonewall J. Tondee, was again tried
and he was again found guilty without
recommending that he lie imprisoned for
life. This is a memorable case. Tho Coro
ner’s jury, after a full investigation, found
that Blackman was the murderer. The
grand jury found an indictment, charging
Blackman as the murderer. The defendant
has had three trials by a jury, and each
time he has been found guilty of murder
and each time sentenced to Is- hung. His
ease will again be carried to the Huoreme
Court, if anew trial is refused, which is
more than probable. Under the testimony
tho verdict would lie the same if he was
tried 100 times. If Blackman is guiltv, he
is the most guilty murderer that ever lived.
Ixiuisville News and Farmer: Tho con
test as to the location at a certain [>oint of
the line dividing this and Emanuel county
has been settled, as will be seen by reading
the minutes of the County Board. For how
long we know not. Certain parties living
near the line of the two counties have
claimod to lie a purt of this county anil ha vo
always paid taxes here, but last year they
concluded they Ixfionged to Emanuel county,
or wanted to think so, we do not know
which, and they refused to pav taxes to this
county. Executions were issued against
them last fall for taxes, but the grand jury
instructed the Tax Collector to stay pro
ceedings until the matter could be investi
gated and the disputed line surveyed and
settled. This has neon done by our County
Surveyor, I. F. Adkins, and the surveyors
of Emanunland Montgomery counties. Mr.
Adkins informs us that the lino as agreed
upon gives to Emanuel county about 1,200
acres of land, consisting of eight settlements.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 19, !887.
The proposed new survey of the Palatka,
Welaka and Lake railway, in the Nashua
and Satsuma district, of Putnam county,
has been completed, and while it is longer
than the old route, will open a section of

At last Fernandina has an artesian well,
which demonstrates that pure and good
water can be obtained by driving wells in

The water has the usual taste of artesian
wuters throughout the State.
A small dwelling at Green Cove Spring,
owned by Howard Taylor, caught on fire
Monday, but the fire was extinguished

United States Marshal Bird left Jackson
ville yesterday for Enterprise, where he
goes to bring back George Jackson and Eu
gene Walstein, arrested on Thursday in En
terprise by Deputy Sheriff J. R. Turner of
Volusia couuty. Jackson and Walstein,
both negroes, broke into the postofliee at
Enterprise, and stole a quantity of postage
stamps, together with some cash. These
two men were suspected and placed under
arrest at once, when they acknowledged the
crime, and returned most of the property
stolen.
At Green Cove Spring a small stream of
water seems disposed to find its way to the
surface as an off-shot from the principal
sulphur spring in the Spring park. A little
jet of water bubbles up from the bottom of
the large bathing pool used by the men, but
the flow is not sufficient to make an impres
sion on the surface of the water. Divers
have taken out several pieces of fossilized
bone and wood, which have been brought
up by the jet of water, which has affected
no change, however, in the sand at the bot
tom of the pool.
About two weeks ago two German la
borers came to T. A. Darby’s saw mill, at
Devil’s Elbow, and applied for work, saying
that they were out of money and had noth
ing to eat. Mr. Darby did not particularly
need the men, though he gave them employ
ment in order to assist them. The first week
one of them was carelessly fooling around a
saw and had his foot cut, not seriously, but
enough to incapacitate hint from work. Fri
day tho other man had his hand caught an l
carried up to the saws, mid so badly lacer
ated that amputation was necessary.

Thursday the Supreme Court of the State
of Florida reversod tho decision of Circuit
Judgo McClellan, in the ox parte case of
James S. Martini. Martini had been sen
tenced by the Pensacola City Police Court
to work on the streets, in expiation of an
offence of which he stood convicted. His
counsel, Tucker & Thompson, denied the
right of a municipal court to sentence a
prisoner to labor, and went before Judge
McClellan with tho ease. Judge McClellan
affirmed the decree of the municipal court,
and the case was taken to the Supreme
Court with the result as above stabs 1.
The railroad will probably build a bridge
across tho river at Smyrna and make their
eastern terminus on the sea beach and lo
cate their turn-tables there. It is thought
that as soon as the road is built across, a
town will spring up, for the land at Smyrna
is practically out of the market, as the own
ers have placed exorbitant prices upon it.
A summer res >rt at this point would lie sec
ond to none in the State, and Messrs. Austin
ft I,ankoster are fortunate in securing tho
land they did on the beach. The railroad
company will, no doubt, build a hotel, and
have everything in working older by anoth
er season's business.
Fernandina is very much displeased at
tho advance in lumber freight rates made
by the Florida Railway and Navigation
(lonqtany to app -axe Jacksonville's dissatis
faction. The Fenmndiiia Mirror alludes b>
the matter thus: “Jacksonville baa many
warm friends in Fernandina, and our nod
pie patronize her merchants liberally. The
Mirror would call their attention to the fact
that our [KMiole are not willing b> lick the
hands of those who smite them. They have
daily connection with Savannah, uni
might possibly avail themselves of the
superior advantages offered by that city in
the way of trade."
Andrew J.Canovaof Palatka hasan Indian
pumpkin vine growing in his gulden. The
seed of this vine were sent Mr. Canova by
Johnnv Billy, an Indian who lives in Royal
Palm Hammock, on tho western border of
the Everglades. Mr. Canova, who has been
all through ttiat country, says that this lath •
native pumpkin and th.it the vines run tip
mi trei>s nnd grow very luxuriantly, the
pumpkin hanging nmoiig the branches of
ihe trees. This \riie grows very rapidly, ns
the sec-1 was received and planted only two
months ago aud now has pumpkins 'on it
about six inches in diameter, which is about
us large ns they grow.
Tlie largest timber and lumber cargo that
ever left a Southern port in a sailing vessel
is now aboard tho Norwegian ship White
Rose, which cleared at the Pensacola Cus
tom House Saturday for London. It consists
of 59,570 cubic feet of hewn timber, (11,089
cubic feet of sawn timber, 1,055 cubic feet
of cedar and 41,031 sujiorflcial feet of lum
ber. The whole reduced to superficial feet
is 1,149,1599. In this connection it must be
considered that the stowage of hown timber
and cedar, the latter being also hewn, a
great deal of space l* not occupied at all,
and that, if, instead of the hewn, sawn tim
ber or deals were used, tho figures would
appear much larger.
Thursday the steamer George M. Bird,
brought to Jacksonville from up the river
the machinery taken from the steamer
North State, which was wrecked in ouo of
the lakes which lie adjacent to the Oekla
walia river. The machinery, which is in a ;
good state of preservation, was unloaded at j
Tim Murphy's foundry, where it will l>o
thoroughly overhauled ami put in first class
order. The boiler which was put off at the
ship yard will also be rejialred and made as
good as new. By the time work on the ma
chinery is completed there will be a boat
ready to receive it, built anew by Tysen,
.Smith & Cos. The j lans or intentions of the
firm as to what purposes they intend to use
the new boat for, arc not far enough ad
vanced yet to give them public mention.
At Fernandma Friday the election passed
off quietly, although the greatest interest
ever known in a municipal election was
manifested. A full vote was polled, and the
result was an overwhelming majority for
the Citizens’ ticket. John Barr is elected
Mayor over Samuel Pett y (colored) by a ma
jority of 71 votes, and Charles V. Hillyer
rxiats Samuel Dennette for Collector by
the same figures. All the Aldermen on the

Thursday morning*)! white man claiming
to have come from Waycross, Ga., and giv
ing his name as Shelvin, reported to Sheriff
Holland, at Jacksonville, that the night
previous he had been approached on the
street by two white men wiio claimed to be
police officers, who told him to consider him
self under arrest. Shelvin quietly submit
ted to the arrest, w hen he was informed by
the men that if he would give up what
valuables he hud they would permit him to
go unmolested. Shelvin demurred to this
proposition, and replied that if lie had com
mitted any misdemeanor which warranted
his arrest he would prefer to accompany the
officers. Whereupon the men closed in upon
him, threw him down and purloined from
his pockets about $278 in money and a
watch and chain and then made off in the
darkness.
Piling is now being delivered at the Flori
da Railvray and Navigation Company’s
docks at Jacksonville for use in the con
struction of a mammoth warehouse, 90x250
feet on the railroad dock. It is reported
that Messrs. Wightman & Christopher have
leased space from the railroad company for
the erection of this warehouse, and from the
same source comes the information that it
is intended for a cotton warehouse, while
others advance the opinion that Messrs.
W ightman & Christopher intend to trans
fer their business from the Mohawk block to
the new warehouse, owing to increased
rents; and besides it would be a great sav
ing to the firm in the matter of druyage.
Fiitv by ninety feet of the warehouse will
bo two stories high, which will he devoted
to offices, The contract for the erection of
the building has already 1 icon awarded to
two different parties, but for some reason it
was given up.
Broolwville .Wins; Our unimpeachable
fellow-oitizen, John J. Hale, narrates that,
on Monday of this week, the negroes work
ing in his grove killed an immense rattle
snake that stretched ai ross the grovo, which
is forty acres in extent. For some time past
Mr. Hale had been missing his hogs and did
not know how to account for their dis
appearance, but the negroes who
killed this great rattler found three
dead hogs lying near him and showed
them to Mr. Hale, and the mystery
was explained—this one snake had destroyed
fifteen or twenty fine hogs of various sizes.
The monster had twelve rattles, and was
nine feet two inches long and eleven inches
in circumference. Mr. Hale wanted to sell
the News its skin for a tympan sheet for the
cylinder of our Prouty [lowin' press. Ou
hearing Mr. Hale tel! this anecdote, J. J.
Bell remarked that last year he killed in
the same vicinity a rattlesnake from whose
skin Col. Frederick L. Robertson made a
circus tent.
John Chase, living on Orange creek, about
two miles south of Citra, has a highly prized
bull terrier dog, though rather small in
stature, he is a noted fighter. It is a daily
habit of this dog to make repeated rounds
over to a two-acre lot adjoining the back
yard, and the only territory he has access to,
probably in search of rabbits that frequent
it. On July 10, while making his morning
rounds, he was rewarded in his search by
finding a full grown coon. After a ten
minutes hard fight between the two, Mr.
Chase, who had been attracted to the scene,
concluded that further effort on his dog’s
part would lie injurious to him and separ
ated them and went to his house for some
thing to kill the coon with, but on his re
turn to the scene of the conflict he met the
dog closely followed by the coon, and. since
then, they have been inseparable compan
ions. The dog divides his meals and bed
with the coon, and as the dog’s hot-headed
temiier gets him into frequent fights he
finds a valuable assistant on the part of
the coon. Mr. Chase offers a wager that
with the coon as a helper that no dog in
the country can withstand his dog in a fight.
Fernandma Mirror: The Juno report of
the commerce of our port is very gratifying
and indicates the steady growth of business.
The entrances and clearances numbered
eighty-one, and the total b muage ran up to
nearly -10,000 tons. The shipments of sawed
lumber amounted to nearly 1(1,000 feet, and
other exports were large. This all moans
the return to Florida of a large amount of
money distributed widely among land
owners, loggers, merchants, railways and
stevedores. According to Gov. "Drew,
a large portion of this goes
to Jacksonville merchants for
loggers’ supplies, mill work, etc. We trust
that one of the beneficial influences result
ing from this demonstration of the growth
of business at this port will lie the calling of
attention to the value of a direct rail con
nection with the suggested short line from
Millen into Florida via Jesup, and placing
us on the direct line of communication with
the North. A line which should connect at
Feraandina as the initial point in Florida,
and connect thence via Jacksonville with
our great trunk lines would possess great
advantages over an interior point of connec
tion.
DEATH FROM A HUMAN BITE.
The Victim Expires After Tolling Who
His Assailants Were.
From the New York Herald.
Peter Winkler died in great agony in
Jamaica, L. 1., Tuesday afternoon, of lock
jaw, resulting from the bite of a man with
whom he had a quarrel on the night of
July 4.
The story is that Winkler, in eompany
with one or two friends, was at the Rapid
Transit station in Jamaica on the evening
mentioned, when he was suddenly assaulted
by Aaron Larkins, Patrick Keiinalian and
William Sommers. A light ensued, m which
Winkler was knocked down and his thumb
terribly bitten, it is thought by Larkins.
Little attention was paid to the wound
until July (I, when Winkler went to Dr.
Philip Wood, who advised that the thumb
bo amputated. The injured man refused to
submit to a surgical operation. The doctor
treated him for the wound. Last Monday
the pain from the bite was excruciating,
and signs of lockjaw become evident. He
was soon writhing in convulsions anil died
Tuesday afternoon after suffering great
agony.
A few hours boforo his death Coroner
Benjamin F. Evoritt secured a sworn state
ment from the dying man, on which ho
swore out warrants for the three nion, who
had disiipiieaml. Winkler was a hard
working man, and of peaceable disposition.
The contrary Is true of his assailants, who
belong to the loafer element in Jamaica.
Larkins is the roughest member of the trio,
and is an ex convict. Helms a brother who
is au inmate of a State prison. Sommers
was a rli-eman on the Long Island railroad,
iuhl Kennahtm is an idle fellow, who spends
much of his time lounging about the station.
Having, in our official capacity as mem
bers of the Plymouth Hospital Committee,
been asked to test and prove the effective
ness of many different articles to be used as
disinfectants in sick rooms and ns prevent
ives of infectious fevers, report that Darhvs I
Prophylactic Fluid has been thoroughly J
testis! during the recent typhoid epidemic
in tins place. It proved most, eflicacious in
staying the spread of the fever.

GAMBLING LEVELS ALL RANKS.
A Curious Group Seen at the Sheepe
headßay Race Track the Other Day.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
One of the most unique groups I ever saw
was at the races. It consisted of five per
sons in a box at the front of the grand stand,
and now and then one or two others who
s-tood on the turf in front. In the forward
row was a young colored woman and two
young Irish women. Back of them were a
husband and wife of middle age, neither of
them Irish or colored, All of them were
intent upon the races, and had come down
to bet. A young Irishman was the messen
ger and head of the party. He remained
on the turf in front except when he went to
the betting pavilion to learn about the odds
or to place money. They were all quiet and
unobtrusive, and for this reason probably
escaped my notice until after tho first race.
Then a tall, powerfully built negro passed
along the turf from the pavilion, and as he
went before the box ho looked up at the
group and in a tone which was at once
politely familiar and business-like said:
“Well, did you make a good thing?”
It was one of the Irish girls who re
plied:
“Yes, five for one."
And the colored woman added, “I got
there too.”
Their tones indicated satisfaction, but it
was of the kind in which enthusiasm was re
pressed, in which long experience had driven
out excitement. It was as clear as the hot
sunlight that they were regular attendants
—that betting partook with them of a busi
ness character. They were typical New
Yorkers in dress, but there was none of that
flash that would lead to a suspicion of ir
regularity. The negro went his way, but
during the afternoon frequently returned
and engaged the girls in conversation. I
never saw a blacker man anywhere. His
grave face was lightened only by the red of
nis liiis and the whites of his eyes, and when
ho smiled, by a deep dimple, in which the
sunbeams play and lost themselves. He
wore a narrow-rimmed brown derby on the
side of his head, a dark green, diagonal
coat, mixed trousers, a white spotted vest, a
large blue tie, and he carried an umbrella in
his hand.
I have said that this party gambled as a
matter of business; I should make one ex
ception. One of the Irish girls in the front
row shrunk back into her enair and never
said a word during the entire afternoon.
And nobody addressed a word to her. She
watched the young man who did the plac
ing of tho money, and when the negro was
present she watched him, and during a race
she looked! shyly at the racers; but she
hardly moved from her chair, and never
smiled. Her companions were not so lucky
on the next two races as they had been on
the first. The horses were started opposite
the grand stand, and when the starter drop
ped his flag and Mr. J. B. Haggin’s Firenzi
went off more than a length ahead of the
rest, the party in the box joined vigorously
in the hissing and groaning that went up in
criticism of the manifest bad judgment of
the official. They looked bitterly sour, for
they had not backed Firenzi, and when
that hoi'se crossed the line a winner they
shut their teeth together and declared that
they hadn't been given a chance for their
money. They consulted their programmes,
and the young man went off to find how the
odds were on the third race. There were
eight starters, and at least four favorites.
When the young man returned all the racers
were on the track taking their preliminary
exercise. He reported that he could get a
bet of 15 to 1 against Belinda, one of August
Belmont’s horses. The betting was nearly
even on the favorites. The party looked at
the track.
“I think it had better be Belinda,” said the
white girl seriously.
“She’s a good one,” acquiesced the colored
girl.
And the young man evidently had a tip
on Belinda, for he also favored placing the
money on her. Such was the result. When
the start was made, Belinda went off a good
third, and there was much excitement in
the party at the prospects of getting $75 for
every $5 they hail wagered. But,lack-a-day!
before an eighth of a mile had been run Be
linda had dropped to within hailing dis
tance of the rear. Then the excitement
was turned to disappointment, and the
youiig white girl exclaimed: “There’s
mv Belinda, and she can’t get through,”
which mixture of feminine and horse
talk meant that Belinda was doing well, but
the horses in front of her were in the way,
and so prevented her from getting the lead.
They lost, but conso’atioa was ready in the
fact that Belinda hail done well, and had it
not been that she did not have time to get
around the competitors she might have won.
Then something occurred to the w hite girl.
Hastily she leaned over the rail of the liox
and looked down at her feet. A shade of
annoyance crossed her face, and she settled
back, and smoothed out her skirts and
shook them down, after which she leaned
carefuly over again to see what tho effect
of her action had been. Not all tho girls
in the grand stand had been so thought
ful. _____
