Considerable interest was man ifested in the mutt r, as many claimed that it a till! be a kind of “test ca.‘” and its wnsion would tend somewhat to govern any similar case that might arise. Alter a lengthy argument by counsel on each side, the court rendered its decision in favor of the plaintiff. It is thought by some that the ense maybe taken up to the Superior Court in October noxt. Sunday morning on the premise* of the widow Outlaw, a few miles from W’rights viile, u mammoth hawk, looking for some thing to gobble up, visited Mrs. Outlaw’s yard and transported a large two-year-old rooster.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1887. A difficulty occurred at the school house near Kathleen Sumiuy evening between James S. Lanier and Lawson Brine about a yearling which the former accused the lat ter of stealing from him, whereupon the latter railed him u and liar, and Lanier struck him with his fist.

At Suiaterville Saturday some of the prisoners confined in the jail at tempted to escape, liut were foiled by the appearance ot Sheriff Chapman and Deputy Howell.

By the use of it they succeeded in breaking the iron hinges of the main door. W. E.

He brought in the name of a cer tain citizen during This remarks, and the fact coming to the gentleman’s ears, he pro ceeded to black Feiber’s eye hi a scieutine style The dullness of Francis was somew hat re lieved by the antics of a crazy negro on Sunday and Monthly morning. On Sunday tie took possession of the church, and on being turned out announced that he hail been sent by God to preach there. Early Monday morning the whole town wus aroused by his yells, singing, preaching and cursing, which lie varied by smashing tho household effects of a negro with whom he wasnn unwelcome guest. By a little strategy lie was caught, tied securely, and carted off to Bulatku, where he was afterward re h used because no warrant hud been issued for him. Eustis Lake Region: Col. Lanier, of Lanier’s Landing, tells a remarkable story about oranges. A few years since he hail a number of orange trees which blossomed in September. In due time tho fruit began to mature, and in January was about half grown. A sharp little freeze came and about two-thirds of tho fruit fell off. The fruit which remained assumed a yellow color, and looked like ripe oranges of u small growth. When the warm spring days came the fruit turned green, and began to grow, and in June was fully rijie and ma tured, of a beautiful color and delicious flavor, but entirely without seeds. A man who is surely a very remarkable case has been at Cone for some time. Ho looks after No. 1 faithfully to the neglect of his family; wears goggles, which embellish Ins manly face, and drives a black stallion. One day this week Fie stoppod at tFio house of one neighbor just in time to get his horse well fed, and then ho drove to another neighbor’s and took breakfast anil dinner.

A day or two since ho charged a colored laborer of the neighbor hood with embezzlement of s.‘> or $4 from him, and when tho ease was called and in vestigated, the colored man proved that the man was really in debt to him, and tho court, put the costs on the mysterious man, in all about sti. The saloon-keepers of Jacksonville are now getting up a petition to present to the Mayor m their own interests. It asserts that, aside from liquors, they offer for sale soda water, lemonade, npolluinris anil other mineral waters. In complying with tho Mayor’s commands and closing on Sundays they are absolutely excluded from any op portunity to vend such refreshments, which is not the case with the lemonade and sola water stands. This, aside from tho various news ikqiots and book stores, which continu ously keep their doors ajar on the alert for trade, is a violation of the Sunday law, and discriminates so pointedly against a class of citizens that they deem it proper to call at tention to it. They assume that the Muvor proposes to administer the law impartially, and ask that they be allowed to sell mineral wlntel's, lemonade and other light drinks on Sunday, the same as others. The facilities for getting to the temporary county seat of Bloomfield from this side of the lakes will not be so liud after all. Tho fine little side-wheel steamer A. J. I /me. In-longing to the Florida Southern Railroad Company, will run from Eustis to Bloom field and other landings on Lake Harris twice a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and possibly oftener. On it passengers can go to Lane Park by rail, and from there take the little side wheel steamer Dispatch for Bloomfield and landings iu that vicinity. This is a daily trip. It seems to bea general impression that the first election of the peo ple for the permanent county seat will lie the latter part of October, anil that the first election will not decide the result; that there will be so many aspirants on tbe first vote that no one town will get a majority of all the registered vote's. Anyhow, the issue will unquestionably narrow down, before it is decided, to Eustis and Diesbury. That is the almost universal view, and there is no other town in the race. Mr. Canon, living aliout ten miles north of Brooksvillo, was out in the pine wood neat’ his house, on July 4, looking about, when he sat down on a log to rest. After silting awhile he heard a rustling among the leaves behind him; looking around, lie was horrified to see a rattlesnake within four feet of him, coiled *rently to strike. Mr. Vnson had brought his revolver with him mid, /drawing it, lie opened tire, upon him. At-the first shot the snake sprang at him, but lie dextr uisly Htop|H<l to one side, allowing it to pass and drop upon the log, about one third of its length passing over, slightly wounded—enough to render it fu rious. It Is-gnn to gather itself together for another attack, when a well-aimed shot took effect in the head, which put a stop to the luittle. The mouster measured seven feet nine inches in length, was as large around as a stovepi|e and had fourtuon rnt tlcs mid a button. An unusual spectacle was witnessed re cently in one of Jacksonville’s suburbs. As a lady bent on business was hurrying into town, a young snake enter:; si from Gen. Spinoer’s yard leisurely glided air ad of her. At first she thought toftjinvehim. but as he was “movin’ so slow," she gently poked him with her umbrella, requesting him to ‘ 'mix derate his motions. ’’ To her surprise the reptile ro..tilted tho in dignity and quickly colling sprang viciously at tho offending weapon. His evident venomousiieas com pletelv did away with the lady’s loaning to ward moicv, as the thought of Baby Seiiu mueher Hashed through tier tuiiiil, aud after fruitless attempts ill stepping on the reptile the work of death was accomplished w ith tli" umbrella. While our friend stood recrottiug aloud the necessity which com pelled so much harsh action,an old "Uncle” pausing, said: "Horry yuh kill dut snake/ Sly, la, missy, dot one de inns' pinnies’ snakes dut crawl! But yuh oughtenter try ter step on deni snake! Moo' s'prisin' ’© didn' late yuh!” Atsmt 'J o'eloek yesterday morning an alarm of lire was miig lit Jacksonville for a lire in I lexter Hunter's two-story wooden block in East Jacksonville at tho corner of Forsyth and Brough stm ts. The fire began in Mniter’s drug store, near the spot where the incendiary fire ivas discovered some days ago and put out. The city th e depart ment turned out, hut could do little, as they were out of the roach ot water and hud to depend on the puuqM iu Hunter’s uuil. Tim ill o spread through the build nig rapidly, and in a short time hail de stroyed the block with eontexits. The losses, as near as could be ascertained, are as follows: Dexter Hunter, on building, $3,000, probably insured: T. A. Melter, drug store, oil stock, $5,000. insurance. $1,800; Riley & James, groceries. $1,5110, insurance, SI,OOO. The tenants of the upper part of the building lost everything. They wmv Capt. Smith and daughter, Miss Julia and William Godfrey. Godfrey was insured for alxiut #SOO on personal property, mid Capt. Smith’s insurance is unknown. Their loss, which was complete, is somewhere in tho neighlxirhood of $1,500 jointly'. Mr. Melter said there was no doubt that the fire was incendiary and that tho party who set it was aiming at him, WHO WERE THEY? A Beautiful Young Lady, a Handsome Lover and a Wrathful Pursuer. From the Jackxonville (Fla.) Timex- Union. Last Tuesday night about 10 o’clock a Times-Union man was wending his way down Bay street, when the suppressed sobs of a woman caught his sympathetic ear. A handsome young lady was seen to dry her tears Fiehind a cambric handkerchief, and to go into the post office building. A few moments later she wus seen to emerge from the office with a bunch of keys m one hand and a letter enclosed in u square envelope iu the other. Tho tears wero again flowing unrestrained, when tho young lady souglit the light of a gas jet and hastily tearing off the covering read the missive with great avidity. While she was reading the letter the re porter vvns enabled to get a bettor look at tier than he had before. Tall, graceful and willowy, she luul u figure that would have done honor to Venus, her forehead was higti and surmounted with beautiful black or dark brown hair that seemed to cling to a brow of alabaster whiteness. Her garments were of the most expensive material, and artistically and fashionably made, yet not gaudy. From the Index finger of her left hand shone a solitaire, such as are seldom seen. A glimpse of the boots underneath her skirts revealed a foi it that could have easily worn the glass slipper with neither paring at the heels or toes. As siie road the note, a smile slowly re placed the forlorn look which had con cealed her face. She smiled almost audibly and, striking one pretty foot with its eoun terpart, she muttered something under neath her breath that, to the reporter’s ears, shaped thomselves very nearly into “Bless his dear old heart! I knew he would be true to his word. ” Hastily glancing around, she nut the letter into hor reticule, and started up Market street. Something white on the sidewalk caught the eye of the T.-U. man, and, stoop ing, ho picked up nothing less than the envelope which surrounded the supposed-to-be tender missive, and with the address of a young lady, cure box —, citv. Ho put this in his inside pocket, and followed the fair one at a respectable distance to the corner of Adams and Mar ket streets. Here she stopped a moment, and glanced anxiously down the street in each direction. She then went down Adams on tho north side until she came to Ocean, then north again on that until she was perhaps half way of the block, when a linndsome young mail was seen at the other corner. The young lndv saw his form in the dis tance at about the same time that the re porter descried him. She gave a glad little cry and hurried forward to meet him on half-way ground. Their meeting should have been seen to lie appreciated. Suffice it to say that the reporter would have gladly given a couple of million or half his fortune to liave been in that young man’s place dur ing their first greeting. The young man, who was about <> feet in height, was becom ingly dressed in a lilack Brinee Albert and wore a black silk hat. He had a perfect love of a moustache, and had a match to the young lady’s solitaire sparkling in his expanse of immaculate shirt txwom. After conversing a moment they started down Adams street and were soon lost to sight in the darkness. The reporter was thon starting back to tho business streets, when he saw a fieroe looking man coming down tho street at a swinging pace. His eyes shone like those of a wild 1 least, and in his hand he carried a whip, the handle of which he grasped with the greatest tenacity. He glanced up and down Ocean street and then he also started down Adams in the direction taken by tho young couple. At the inter section or every streot he would stop and glance anxiously each way and then continue down tlie street, lie went down as far as Julia, then he turned down toward Bay. He stopped for several minutes on tho Everett House corner, as if debating whether to continue the search. Ho evi dently concluded that further search was vain, and coming down to Bay, jumped into a passing carnage and was driven swiftly up Buy street. Perhaps a runaway marriage will be hoard of this morning. A ROMxVNCE IN REALITY. A Young Connecticut Lady Comes to Florida to Marry. From the Gainesville (Fla.) Record. In tho western, or rather northwestern, part of Alachua county lives a young man by the name of John Wright. Near him lives n family by tho name of Vidian, who formerly resided in the staid old State of Connecticut. Mr. Wright, through 'an introduction by letter from Miss Vidian and from seeing a photograph of a young lady friend of Miss \ idian, commenced a correspondence with Miss Lillian Castle, of Pine Meadow, Conn., about Nov. 1 of last year. Miss Castio replied favorably, and letters continued to pass between them and photographs exchanged, until tho corres pondence ripened into love (not at first sight, but by mail) and an engagement wus con summated. Now John, being of n thrifty, economizing turn, did not think best to travel all the way to the nutmeg State to woil the fair Lillian, so he sent her a cheek for money to pay her passage to Gainesville. On lasi Thursday T. A. Carrol received a telegram from Miss Castle to notify Mr. Wright that she would sail from New York that morning. This would make tho pas sage so that it wus expected that sli" would arrive iu Gainesville yesterday morning by the Savannah, Florida aud Western, and John was on hand at Orion to meet her, wearing a Uidgo which hud lx>en agtixsl upon, lint ho was disap pointed to find she was not on tho train.
