John Jackson, a negro, was shot and kill
ed by an unknown murderer at Albany Fri
day night. Dau Gary, a witness to the
shooting, was within twenty yards of the
party that fired the fatul shot, but ho could
Slot distinguish who it was, or whether it
was a white man or a negro. Two men
were arrested and brought before the wit
nesses, but could not be identified as the
parties who perpetrated the wanton murder.
One was a white man named Bailey, from
about Montezuma, but had recently lieen
“working at a mill on tho Brunswick and
"Western Railroad. The other was a negro
named Starling Tavlor, a well-known far

Saturday afternoon as the fast train
■neared Crawford villa, a negro paseesiger
•tumbled out of the colored coach in a half
drunken condition and while the train was
•till moving rapidly, attempted to get olf.
He was too drunk to make the leap safely,
and swung around between the two coaches
and was hanging bv one hand with his feet
on the rails when Ike Shepard, an employe
of the road, saw the man's peril and went
to his rescue, quickly dragging him away
from the wheels. The man’s feet had
touched the wheel, and his narrow esoayie
from death thoroughly sobered hitn. This
is the fifth person Mr. Hhopard has saved
from death during the twelve months he has
been on the road. One of his last heroic
acts was the rescuing of a small boy at. Nor
wood from death beneath his train. Two of
the instances of heroism displayed by Mr.
Shepard were at great risk to life and limb.
At Atlanta, Saturday, the question of
the value of the State road, including the

he has been making a careful study of the
question, having visited Chattanooga and
examined the Tennessee property, ne was
put on the stand and pumped. lie is a gen
tleman of Intelligence and decided convic

road property is worth a dear ¥12,000,000.
He drew an excellent map of the real estate
owned by the State in Tennessee, ami sjMiko
with some en’itusiasm of its present value,
but pointed mil several desirable changes
which might lie profitably made, such as
extending some streets and laying off new

estimate on present values, Mr. Stewart is
satisfied that there is a surplusage of prop

Dr. John C. L’Engle. of Jacksonville, has
a typewriter that has had quite an experi
ence. It is of the Remington make, and
while it does not contain all the latest im
provements, still it is a good machine and
does as good work and as fast as any that
are made. Several years ago a vessel from
New York to a South American port was
lost at sea A portion of her cargo, con
sisting of general merchandise, whs wiished
ashore. Among that picked up was this
typewriter, which was enclosed in a nearly
water tight case, causing it to float. At the
sale of the wreckage which followed the
machine passed into the hands of a St.
Augustine gentleman, who bad it thoroughly
overhauled at the manufactory and pre
sented it to Dr. L’Engle. The machine
bears the number of 505, while those being
manufactured now range up to nearly
30,(X)0. The low number indicates that it
was among the first turned out.
The commissioners of Lake county met
with the Orange Countv Commissioners at
Orlando on the 19th and 13th for the pur
pose of ascertaining and receiving the
amount of money due county from
that part of old Orange embraced in Lake
county. The amount was found to be a lit
tle over 810,000, the most of which was re
ceived and deposited to the credit of Lake
county; the balance is to be paid at the
next regular meeting. The Lake County
Commissioners then adjourned to meet on
the 15t.h, at Sutntervule, to receive the
amount of money due Lake county from
old Sumpter county. The amount due is
$10,805.10, which will make the handsome
sum of $90,805 in cash in the treasury to
start Lako county’s machinery with; and
with that amount of cash in the treasury,
and Bloomfield as the county site, Lake
county is sure to prosper. Bloomfield fur
nishes free buildings for the county’s use as
long as wanted, thereby saving the county
the heavy expense of building a court hous<■.
The customs officials of the Treasury De
partment have not abandoned their plan
for the consolidation of the customs district
of the country by closing those districts
where the revenue is less than the expense
incurred in its collection, but will again
bring it to the attention or Congress at the
coining session. There are now three dis
tricts on the east coast of Florida, in all of
which the receipts are less than the expenses.
But it can bo said that the department is in'
favor of the retention of one collection
district on this coast, and, of course,
it is considered that the district of St.
Johns, with Jacksonville as the prin
cipal port of entry, is the most
important, and should, therefore, be kept
up On the west const the district of St.
Marks is the one to be abandoned, accord
ing to the Department’s plan. While Congress
will bo urged to supply the necessary legisla
tion for the closing of those non-supporting
districts, it is impossible, of course, to fore
cast tho legislative action in the premises.
It can be said, - though, that the Treasury
people do not talk in a very sanguine mood
about the success of tho proposition, aud
this may prove a grain of comfort, at least,
to those interested in the ports of entry it is
sought to abolish.
Around Sanderson for the past two weeks
the cotton crop has dwindled to less than an
average fair yield, owing to the rust which
has appeared, occasioning the shedding and
premature maturing of the bolls in spots
through the fields, which seems prevalent
for all localities. The weather has leen as
propitious as could be expected for tho gen
eral maturing of crops, thereby perplexing
farmers, who cannot account tor or combat
this disease, which presents itself at a mo
ment when their prospects appear most ad
vantageous for a good harvest. Did this
blight, occur individually or singly in
remote districts it possibly would and
could lie combated, but considering
the area it covers when appear
ing precludes all idea of its being caused
through inexperience in tilling or fortihza
tion of lands. This situation is distressing,
considering the poor class of farmers who
persist in cultivating this product with the
expectation of providing their surpl s cash
after liquidating their yearly bills for sup
plies, etc. It is reported from various lo
calities that the caterpillar has made its ap
pearance in some vicinities; this is doubt
ful. Tbelong dry season has so toughened
the bolls in their advanced maturity that it
maysafely be regarded as beyond the des
truction of that iiest.
Saturday night M. Nyland and Veto
Thornton, two white men, were arrested in
LaViila for drunkenness, and were put in
the same cell with four negroes. The white
prisoners were not searched before they
were incarcerated, aud soon after their im
prisonment the negroes ascertained that
each of the white men had some money on
his person, when the four negroes attacked
thoin und, beating them in a shameful man
ner, robbed them of every cent they had.
Nyland luul $3:l on his person, $3O of which
was in gold, and his companion had only
about $3. Sunday morning Depot} - Sheriff
W. D. Vinzant heard of the occurrence, and
immediately went out to LaViila and de
mand'd that the negro prisoners lie turned
over to him to be placed in the county jail
that they might lie prosecuted on the dual
charge of assault and battery and robbery
from the person. The LaViila authorities
readily gave them into the custody of tho
county official, who conveyed them to the
county jail. Where they were locked up.
Upon searching them twenty odd dollars
of the stolen money was fmrnd upon their
persons, which amount wtsvl restored to
Nyland and Thornton. One of the gold coins
the officer choked out of the mouth of
Nickerson, where he had it concealed. YVhen
an attempt was made to plaice tho handcuffs
on Green's wrists he liecame very boisterous
and defied the officer to do it, nut Vinzant
by his poculiar persuasive powers, overcame
the belligerent scoundrel’s objections, and
succeeded in ornamenting his wrist. with
the steel bracelets, although the officer ex
perienced considerable trouble all the way
to jail with this particular outlaw. This
quartette of superlative black sheen had
Been in tho La villa jail for several days
serving out sentences for violations of the
laws of Ln Villa. Owing to tho injuries
which Nyland and Thornton had received
at the hands of these desperadoes they were

WEST FLORIDA FISH.
An Encouraging Increase in the Fish
eries Industry.
j Special Correspondence of the Jacksonville
(Fin.) Tfmes-Union.
Washington, Sept. The officials of
the United States Kish Commission offer the
following statement as to some of the fish
eries of Western Florida:
With its extensive sea and gulf coast, and
its great interior water supply, Florida has
an abundance of food fishes easily accessible
to nearly every _portion of the State. For a
long time the fishing in Florida waters was
done by the farmers and settlers for home
consumption, while with Hie growth of the
larger towns, local industries arose
simply to supply the immediate neightior
hoods’, and a small traffic with Cuba gradu
ally sprang up. The most Important fish
eries of Florida, however, are but ten or
fiftoon years old.
The mullet occurs everywhere about the
coast, aud for a large part of the year is the
most abundant and the most easily secured
of the fishes. In season it is an excellent
food fish, ranging In weight from one to five
pounds.
After giving a description of the various
kinds- of fish caught, tie* expert says:
There is a large supply Of good oysters
it being estimated that there are more than
12,800 acres of edible oysters in the waters
of Florida. They occur in natural beds in
the salt and brackish waters of the bays of
the northern part of the Htate, on the east
and west coasts. Along Lite shores of the
southern part of the peninsula are large
reefs of a small oyster known as the “cove
oyster,” or “tree oyster,” the latter name
referring to their growing upon the tide
washed roots of the mangrove. These oys
ters ure so small that they have no commer
cial value. Apalachicola has been doing a
thriving business in canning the excellent
oysters of that vicinity Mast of the fresh
oysters of Florida are consumed locally.
Tho river fisheries of commercial import
ance are confined to the St. John’s river,
where shad are taken ie considerable num
bers. During the last few years, however,
tho catch has been small, .and the supply
seems to lie nearly* exhausted.
A statistical statement connected with the
report gives some interesting facts, by way
of comparison relating to the growth and
extent of the fisheries of Western Florida,
from which your correspondent takes the
following:
In 1880 the whole number of fishermen in
the State was 2,104; according to this new
statement there are now 2,700 fishermen in
Western Florida alone. In 1880 there were
2&5 shoremen all told; now there ure 4(X) in
Western Florida. The-total number of ves
sels in Florida in 1880 engaged in the fish
eries was 142, valued at s:.’-W < 2oo, the num
ber of boats 740, valued at *16,558; the value
of minor apparatus $21,923, and the addi
tional capital invested $39,968. There are
now in Western Florida alone 211 vessels
employed In the fisheries with a value of
$365 755; 1.061 boats, valued at $22,750;
minor apparatus having a value of $33,140;
aud additional capital invested $63,255. In
1880 the total capital of the entire State in
vested in the fisheries was $325,644, as
against $489,000 now invested in such in
dustries in Western Florida alone. The
fish product of the entire Htate in 1880 had
a value of $666,370, whereas the Western
Florida fish product has reuched a value of
$633,388. _
THE SWEET BARD OF AVON.
Shakespeare Contributed 7,000 New
Words to the Language.
From the Chicago 'Tribune.
Every number of the “New English Dic
tionary”will bo to Shakeipeareans worth the
cost of the whole work. It will throw a
thousand side-liglits on Shakespeare's lan
guage which they have always longed for
but could novor hope to behold. How much
of our vocabulary and its significance can
be traced back no further than the great
dramatist will be revealed so clearly that
ht* who runneth may real. Something of
this disclosure may be seen in any fraction
of the stupendous work Turning over the
first 200 pages of the firsi, number it will be
ascertained that 146 words are first found in
Shakespeare, either altogether or In some of
their meanings. At this rate our total in
debtedness cannot bn less than for 7,000
Shakespearean words or meanings, Rome
owed only one word to Julius Caesar. The
nature of our debt will be more appearent if
we examine some of these hundred and a
half of Shakespearean words, all so near
the beginning of the alphabet that the lust of
them is “air.” We owe the poet the first
use of the word “air” itself in one of its senses
as a noun, and iu three 14s a verb or parti
ciple. He first said “air-drawn’ and “air
less.” He ad.led anew signification to
“airy” and “acriaL” Nobody before him
had written “aired,” and more than a tithe
of the verbal gifts now iu view were such
perfect participles. Weilnigh as many were
ud verbs. In no previous writer have Dr.
Murray’s Argus eyes detect© l “accidental
ly,” nor any of the following. “Abjectly,”
‘•acutely,” “admiringly,” “adoptedly,” “ad
versely.” How our tutbers could exist so
long without some of these vocables must
move our special wonder. To “absolutedly.’’
“accordingly,” “actively," aud “affection
ately” Hliid:aqleave addod anew sonse. It
is not a little surprising that the word
“abreast” was never printed before the cou
plet:
My soul shall thlqij keep company to Heaven;
TaiTy, sweet soul, ;ov mine, then fly abreast.
Of the 146 words and meanings first-given
us by Shakespeare at least two-tnirds are of
classical origin. BacOnians will say that
such a gift’ couM not by any possibility
Come from a man of “small Latin and less
Greek.” Others will enlarge their ideas of
what Bpn Jonson meant by “small.” The
■strangest thing seems to be that so few of
ShaLesliesr’s innovations—not so much as
one-fifth—have become obsolete. He gave
them not only life hut immortality. It is
perhaps equally noteworthy that while ho
was never read so much as to-day, no writer
before him (and scarcely one of his con
temporaries) cited as authors of words, and
senses is pow read at all, save by special
students.
Tho question, “Where did Shakespeare
get his novelties in languagef” who can an
swer' His “accoutred” was in print ten
years before any other writer gives us any
of this verb, which it is agreed come
from Latin through French. The noun
“accoutrement” was earlier, but only in rare
books. In oho instance Shakc.npoure is er
roneously said io show the earliest specimen
of a certain meaning. "Act,” as one of the
main div isions in a dramatic work, is crod
ited t<> Hnak'-speare in 1613. lint this word
is in the epilogue of “Henry VIII.,” which,
downward from Dr. Jansen, has not, been
regarded ns ShaKi-speare’* work in any lino
of it. In 110 one of the Shako..|'Hi'enn
dramas as published in the author's lifetime
is there any di vixiou<MtU> “acta" at all. The
quarto of the Wives,” published
thru© years alter the auhtor’s dentil,shows no
act or sc**nes. In the first, folio, published
seven years after his death, the modern
separation into parts occurs. It is indicated,
however, nnlv by Latiti words, as rictus
primus, uemmlmi, etc. Our indisputable
Shak.*s|x nrean depts are too great to nissi
11113' doubtful additions. In one ease, how
over, Dr. Murray fails to render to Hlmkes
|s*Hre his line. Kegardiug Adonis in Greek
mytholiigy, his first citation dates from
1765. fit* forgot this lino in “Henry
VI.":
