2 NEW YORK TO THE SOUTH. TIDE OF TRAVEL PROMISING TO SURPASS ALL RECORDS. A Remarkably Fast and Attractive Train Service—The Public-Spirited Enterprise of the Railway Lines Leading Thereto. • From the Setc York Commercial Sews. There are plentiful indications that the travel from the North to Florida and other points South will be greater this winter than ever before. The innumerable advantages presented by the South as a place of winter sojourn are now better understood and re cognised as quite the thing in fashionable circles, and, moreover, it is becoming quit .* the fashion to spend at least a few weeks in Florida between December and March. Greater facilities for this class of travel have been provided for the coining season, and the people interested in the South are building new and elegant hotels and exert ing themselves in every way in their power to encourage such desirable visitors as the rich people of New York, Boston and the Northern States are recognized to be. The railways leading to Florida have made very complete arrangements to ac commodate the rush of travel this season. A reporter for this paper called yesterday at the office of the Plant system, at Hi West 'Twenty-third street, and had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. H. B. Plant, the head of the system embraced in these various j lines, who said, in answer to the interroga tories of the reporter: “Yes, special arrangements have been made to accommodate travel the coming season, with additional and improved facili ties and fast service. Trains leave Jersey City by the Pennsylvania railroad daily at 9 o’elocK p. m. with sleeping car service for Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville and Tampa. A second train leaves Jersey City at 12 o’clock at night for Washington, where passengers are transferred to the At lantic Coast Line and West India fast mail train, which leaves Boston daily at *> o’clock p. m., Jersey City at 5 o’clock a. m., Washington at 11 o’clock a. m., arriving in Jacksonville at 12 o'clock the next day, and Tampa, Fla.. at 8 the same evening, where mails and pas sengers are transferred to the steamships leaving there tri weekly for Key West and Havana, the timo from New York to Ha vana being seventy-two hours. This train is run both ways under special contract with the United States Post Office Depart nient. In addition to this regular service the companies have contracted with the Pullman Palace Car Company for the construction of a train made up of the latest device for comfort of pas sengers, and known as the Pullman ves tibule train, and which will be put upon the line in the early part of January, run ning special to Jacksonville, leaving Jersey City on the days to be appointed at 9:30 a. m.,and arriving at Jacks nville and St. Augustine the following day in time for dinner. Besides these superior facilities a special sleeper is expected to leave Philadel phia daily for the accommodation of travel ers for Thomasviile, a place which has rapidly grown into popularity with those people seeking Southern health resorts, located in South Georgia, 200 miles from Savannah, at an elevation of 300 feet above tide water, where new- and commodious hotels have been constructed, resulting in its becoming a very fashionable place for the winter and spring. “In addition to these facilities for getting South, direct service from the East is bad via the Richmond and Danville aud East Tennes-ee systems, the former via Augusta and the latter via Atlanta, for points in Florida; also for Pensacola, New Orlean fuid Southern Texas, all inviting travel to their respective shores. The fast mail train on its return brings the mail from Havana for the entire United States, as the time be tween the whole of Europe and the island of Cuba has by the.se first trains been very considerably reduced, aud most of the European mail between Cuba and Europe is now forwarded by way of New York and this fast mail service, the time being from three to six days shorter than by the ocean route. “Referring to the new train which it is proposed to commence running early in January, the entire train will be on the ves tibule pattern, composed probably of four ■leepei-s, accommodation car and dining car, iu which latter meals will be served at seasonable hours during the entire trip. The combination car will consist of a library, a smoking apartment and a buffet, where re freshments will be served at all hours, while the meals to be served in the din ing car will be equal to those served ut first class hotels. The train will, in fact, be as fine as the genius of Mr. Pullman can nro vide. and in which the combination car I refer to will be a conspicuous and appre ciated feature. My belief is that Florida is going to enjoy an extraordinary season, and will have a great rush of people who seek to Avoid the severity of a Northern winter, and at the same time be provided with the comforts and luxuries of life.” A BROKEN RAIL. Derailment of a Mail Car Followed by a Blaze. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 7. —Sunday night’s passenger train on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road, bound for Augusta, jumped the track near Ridge Springs sta tion at 10 o’clock. The engine safely passed over a broken rail, but the mail car hit the obstructon squarely and was overt urned. Tho car caught fire from the stove and was saved from complete destruction by a tramp who was stealing a ride. The other cal's were considerably damaged. The mail, mostly from the North, and consisting mainly of registered packages, was partially destroyed by the fire. The extent of the monied loss is not obtainable to-night. Sev eral trainmen were considerably bruised, but no one was seriously hurt. The passen gers were badly shaken up. The road is now clear. By the accidental discharge of a gun, Convict Guard G. \\\ Dickson lost his arm Sunday afternoon. He was brought to Augusta to-day, and his arm amputated. His condition is precarious. A long and tedious meeting of the City Council was held to-night, but nothing was done of outside interest. Columbus Chapters. Columbus, Ga., Nov. 7.—The Columbus Guards, at a meeting to-night, nominated the following gentlemen for officers: S. Price Gilbert, Captain; A. A. Wilcox, First Lieutenant; Augustus Raiford, Second Lieutenant. The lady friends of the com pany, assisted by its members, will hold a fair to rtui four days to raise money to complete the company’s equipment. Mrs. C. L. Torbett, of Society Hill, who was burned last night, died to-day from the effects. Mrs. Tobett’s clothing caught fire while she was asleep on a lounge in front of tlie fire. Death of Thomaa Harr old. Americus, Ga., Nov. 7.— Thomas Har rold, senior member of the firm of Hnrrold, Johnson & Cos., died suddenly at 4 u’cl ck this evening of heart affection. Mr. Har rold was born at Glen Cove, L. 1., Queens county, New York. He was in his 74th year and was the father of U. B. Harrold, director of the Central railroad. William Harrold, Mrs. 8. P. Boone, Mrs. H. T. Davenport and Miss Maria Harrold. Pensacola Points. Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 7.—The dele gates from this city to the Shipping League Convention, to lie held in Birmingham, left to-night for the latter place. Deputy Hhenff John Dick leaves to-night for New Orleans with the necessary pajiers to bring to this city Haywood Carr, the mtirderer, who was’ recently captured in New Orleans. A CORPSE IN THE OCMULGEE. The Body Found at Macon Sunday Fully Identified. [ Macon, Nov. 7.—Yesterday afternoon R. H. Cherry and J. J. Myers, while com ing up the river in a boat, discovered the body of a drowned man in the Ocmulgee, near the east bank, opposite the grand stand at the park. The river was very shal low and the body was lying on the bottom half expo ed to view. They reported the matter and Coroner Hodnett summoned a jury and an inquest was held this morning. The body was removed from the river, but it was so swollen, and the face was so much disfigured as to render form and feature unrecognizable. The face had burst near the nose from ex cessive swelling from long confinement in the water. The man was well dressed, and from letters in his pocket directed to R. P. Cook it was evident that the deceased was R. P. Cook, a well-known citizen of Jones county, who was Sheriff of that county a few years ago. On Thursday of lair week Will Boss found a mau's hat lodged in the river against the boom just below the Central railroad bridge. This hat was produced this morning, and Coroner Hodnett recognized it as the hat lie saw Cook woaii|pg on Wednesday of State Fair week while Cook and L. Grace were stand ing talking in front of the saloon of L. Hancock, on Mulberry street. WHEN LAST SEEN. Tho last seen of Cook in life, ns far as was heard, was on Wednesday night of fair week, at Cassidy’s bar, corner of Mulberry and Fifth streets. He evidently met bis death that night, but whether he was mur dered and thrown into the river or fell into the river from the bridge, or in some other manner, will perhaps forever remain a mys tery. Besides the letters found in Cook’s pockets this morning was $2 SO in cash. The finding of this money might explode the idea of robbery and murder but for the fact that Coroner Hodnett states that according to his recollec tion Cook wore a handsome gold watch and chain when he saw him on Wednesday of fair week, and no chain and watch was on the body to-day when it was taken from the water. R. H. Cherry aud J. J. Myers were the only persons admitted at the inquest this morning, and they merely testified to the finding of the body yesterday. A ver dict in accordance with the above facts was rendered. THE ALLEGED FLORIDA MURDERER. As stated in this morning's News, Detec tive W. C. Rhodes of Florida yesterday arrested Deputy United States Marshal Bledsoe in the Unted States building in this city charged with the murder of John Hollifield in the falljof 1884 in Hernando count y, Florida, to which place he had moved from Butts county, Georgia. Holli fleld mysterously disappeared, and was never seen in life again. A short time ago the skeleton of a man was found in a marsh in Hernando county, and it was decided that it was the remains of Hollified, lvho had been murdered for *3OO or #too that he had on his person when last seen. Shortly after Hollifield disappeared Bledsoe, who was living in Hernando county.also disappeared. On the finding of the skeleton the name of Bledsoe immediately became associated with it as the murderer. Detectives had been following on Bledsoe’s track for some time, and he was arrested yesterday and taken to Florida last night. lie strongly denies all knowledge of the murder and any connec tion therewith. Bibb Superior Court convened to-day. Woolfolk will hardly be tried under two weeks, as the civil docket will bo disposed of first. FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS. The County Commissioners Make an Appropriation for Advertising. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 7. —Mrs. W. W. Tucker, a very estimable lady, died to day of malarial fever, after several weeks’ illness. She leaves a husband and two children, son and daughter. The latter is lying dangerously ill, and is not aware that she has lost her mother. Mrs. Tucker was a Miss Jetferevs, daughter of the late XV. O. Jefferey, and sister of Mrs. Dr. A. S. Bald win arid Mrs. God. W. M. Ledwith, all of this city. An exciting meeting of the County Com missioners was held to-day and there was a large attendance of citizens. The question of appropriating county funds for adver tising purposes was discussed on all sides, and finally it was voted to give $3,000 and to place it in the hands of a special commit tee, consisting of Commissioners Rooinsou and Wallace and Col. J. J. Daniel. No part of the money is to be used in taking stock in any corporation or assisting such corporations. The committee was empow ered to get up suitable advertising matter and other means to enhance the interest of Duval county in agricultural, horticultural and other industries, and they will render a detailed account of such expenditures to the board. The editorial in the Morning Sews favoring such appropriations was warmly commented on and indorsed by leading citi zens. Carl Morrow, a 14-year-old lad, tried to push a piece of stick into the steam planing machine at Hunter’s mill, tins afternoon, while under full speed, with his barefoot. He succeeded so far as to have the enl ire bottom of his foot cut off to the bone. The doctor thinks the foot will have to be am putated. CLOSING IN ON THE FEVER. The Cordon Moved Closer to Tampa—. The Day’s Record. Tampa, Fl\., Nov. 7.—There were three new cases, all mild, to-day and one death, Albert Lise, a returned refugee. Tho weather is warm with light rains. Drs. Kilmer and Maxwell, with the Savannah nurses, expect t<> leave the last of this week. CLOSING IN THE CORDON. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 7.— The Board of Health met this morning to talk over the present, fever situation. The prin cipal discussion was on Dr. Caldwell’s action in removing the quarantine cordon around Tampa to more confined space. This action was objected to by the Polk county officials, and they have declared that they will not honor any of Dr. Cald well’s certificates. Formerly the cordon extended this side of Plant City, but Cald well thinking that all danger had passed, and as no cases had developed in Plaut City, moved his fine closer to give Plant Citv a chance to communicate with the outsiiie world. This board, after thor oughly discussing the pros and cous, deter mined on the following telegram to Cald well : Resolved, That this board heard with pleasure tlmt anew quarantine station was establtahe I three miles from Seffner, and regret that the Polk county authorities objected to that ar rangement and hope that they will reconsider their action.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1887. R ECK LESS_ RAILROADING. HOW FRED POST GAVE STEAM TO "OLD 400” TO SAVE A MAN’S NECK. A Midnight Run That Prevented a Lynching at Fort Collins, and Finally Resulted in the Man Being Strung Up at Cheyenne. From the Chicago Mail. “One of the best and withal the most daring engineers on the Union Pacific was, and still is. Fred Post, of Cheyenne,” said one of the Rocky Mountain delegates to the Convention of the Brotherhood now in ses sion in this city. “When Post is on an en gine ho doesn’t seem to know what fear is. He has had passenger engines dozens of times, but it wouldn’t be long before he would make some reckless run, just for tho deviltry of the thing, and then he would be sent back to a freight run again. It seems to be almost impassible for him to run on schedule time—he isn’t happy unless he can let her out for every revolution there is in her. One of tho flash runs was from Cheyenne to Greeley, Col., and over to Fort Collins, and then back again to Cheyenne. A special was made up in Cheyenne to go over to Fort Collins after a murderer named Mushier. Post was or dered to take ‘old 400,’ tho fastest engine on the road, and a ‘way car’ was attached for the party of officers. Among the passen gers wore Sheriff Sharpless, several deputy sheriffs, some newspaper men, a few promi nent citizens and Mr. Deuel, the Superin tendent of the road. The train liful the right of way, and everything was ordered on the side tracks until the special passed. You see the case was an important one, and, and, as it resulted in one of the most famous lynchings ever known in the far West, is worth telling. “The man Moshier was a low-lived assas sin who had shot several people. He was tramping over the lonely trail between Cheyenne and the Black Hills one day when he mot a freighter, who picked him up and fed him and let him ride to Cheyenne. The freighter also had a passenger in a young man who had lived near Fort Laramie, and who was on his way to his former home in lowa. The outfit consisted of a big ‘prairie schooner,’ a trail wagon and sixteen mules. When the end of the journey was reached the party camped on the prairie, about three miles from Cheyenne, and near the govern ment post of Fort Russell. The freighter intended to come into town early the next morning, load the wagons with goods for the Black Hills, and come back in the evening to the same camping ground. The mules were turned out to graze on the rich upland grass, and, as the night was threatening, all three men spread their blankets in one of the big wagons, which, like all freight wagons, was covered with canvas, stretched over high bows. A man standing in the wagon couldn’t touch the canvas top over head, so they make a pretty comfortable prairie bedroom. During the night Moshier got up, and, taking an axe, struck the sleeping freighter a blow on the head. Sup posing he had killed him, he next struck the passenger, fracturing his skull. But the man raised up, and, wounded as he was, grappled with the murderer, took the ax away from him and threw it out of the wagon. Moshier then shot the man three times. A soldier at the post going out on a duck hunt passed not far from the wagons and heard the shooting. Returning to the post he obtained assistance, and an investigation resulted in finding the bodies of two men, but Moshier had fled. The freighter was unconscious, but the pass enger, although mortally wounded, was able to make a dying statement to an Epis copal clergyman’and to the prosecuting at torney. Unfortunately he didn’t know Moshier’s name. He died that afternoon. It came out that the murderer intended to kill his benefactor and his fellow passenger, dump their bodies into the wagons, hook up the mules, and drreo off with the whole outfit. At night he w< >uld bury the bodies, build a big camp fire over tbeir graves to hide the spot, and take the wagons and mules to some part of the conn try where he could sell the outfit, which was worth about $3,000. “The i icople were indignant over the das tardly crime, and the other freighters were wild with anger. Big rewards were offered by the Territory and by private citiz ns, and hundreds of men galloped over the country in search of the murderer. Three days afterward, and much to the surprise of everybody, the freighter regained conscious ness. He told who the murderer was, and then many people knew the man they were pursuing. Several days afterward lie was captured by Sheriff Sweeney of Fort Col lins, Colorado. “The Sheriff of Cheyenne feared a lynch ing, and so the special train was secretly made up to go to Fort Collins, and get back before daylight. Engineer Post was in his ele ment, for he was expected to make fast time. The se -lion of the road between Greelv and Fort Collins was new and rough. The t ies were laid on the dirt, without any rock ballast, and recent heavy rains had ma le the ground soft, The way Post ran ‘old 4<)o' was an example of his recklessness. I always believed he must have hung a weight on the safety val ve. There wer sta tionary stoats on each side of the way-car, and a few common chairs sat on the floor. In one half of the car were bunks for the use of the train men, and the Sheriff and the Superintendent laid down on these to sleep. Post had about regained his standing from his last escapade, and had a chance so distinguish himself iu rli presence of the Superintendent, but instead of run ning with express speed lie turned her over for every stroke there was in her. Old 400 plunged into the night hissing and rolling like a demon and a maniac in one. Tlie way-car rolled from side to side so \ iolently that it was impossible to sit in the chairs. Every little while the wheel would strike the end of some rail that was not joined evenly; and the car would give a lurch which threatened to laud it in the ditch. While the train was rushing to apparent destruction, Post left the engine and eame back into the car a moment, as happy as a man could be. Some body said something about being turned over, and Post understood it to be a request to’turn her over.’ That suited him, and, returning to the engine, he did ‘turn her over.’ Heavens! How the engine and its one car rocked, and swayed, and lurched! Yet on, faster and faster, they flew over tlmt dangerous t rack. To add to the ex citement of the moment, tlie men in the car discovered that Post had never lieen over that branch before. Suddenly the car gave a heavy lurch and there was a sound like a ‘thud’ in tlie bunk room. Tho Superintend ent and the Sheriff had been thrown out of their bunk. The former made his way to the front platform, and, by j'elling at the top of his voice, attracted Post’s attention. “The rest of the run to Fort Collins was made slower, and when the train got there Post got a jacketing for making such a wild run. The trip gave him quite a repu tation at Cheyenne, but lie didn’t get a pas senger engine. Perhaps the railroad people had their own views about such a run as that. “And Moshier? Oh, they got back to Cheyenne with him just at sunrise Sunday morning. That night seventy-five men marched to tlie jail like a company*of sol diers, broke open tlie doors, and in the pres ence of 2.000 people, hanged the murderer to a telephone pole in the centre of tho city. Secretary Morgan, tho Secretary of the Territory, and the Mayor of the city made speeches to the mob, and pleaded with the avengers not to hang the man. The night was cloudless and a vividly bright moon lit up tlie faces of the stern lynchers, gave a ghastly hue to the pallid face of the doomed murderer, and shone on the anxious crowd of spectators, who were kept at a respectful distance by the aimed men. Tlie rope broke three times, ami, while anew one was lieing sent for, Secretary Morgan made an eloquent Appeal for the doomed man. It didn’t avail, however, and Mushier was pulled up. He hung between the moon and' the people who watched him for an hour or more before they left the scene. Moshier died without a struggle, and wasn’t cut down until next morning. .Secretary Mor gan, who made the eloquent appeal for the murderer, was here to-day. I mot him in the rotunda of the hotel and we had a long talk about old times in Cheyenne. No, nothing was done with the lynchers. Every body knew them, but public sentiment was on their side, and as nearly all of them were reputable citizens, the matter was dropped. Post is still running out of Chey enne, but the last 1 knew had a freight en gine.” Weather Indications.

The wound which Mr. Davis suffers from is a peculiar one. It was received at Buena Vista in saving Bragg’s battery from oap ture. Gen. Taylor’s message to battery commander, “A little more grape, Cant. Bragg,” was sent during the same battle. At a critical period the Mexicans advanced in throe lines upon the battery. “A little more grape” failed to stop them, and they came on. Then it was that Col. Davis, hav ing fought all day with his Mississippi regi ment, formed them once more, charged on the flank of the advancing lines, aud saved the guns and the day. But in that charge a musket, hall struck Col. Davis upon the front of the right foot. It entered just about the centre of the arch between the ankle and the toes, passed through and came out of the heel, tearing through bones and cartilage. Advice to Motners. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always lie used when children are cutting teeth, it relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child froui min and the little cherub awakes an “bright as a button.” It is very plea t< > taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.

Decorating mid Furnishing. o o RICHARD SPENLOW. in an article on “Dec orating and Furnishing,“ published iu the New York Times of September 4, says: Any reference to the decorating and furnish ing of a house would be wanting in a most es sential foature in these days of culture and re finement were a word or two left unsaid on that all-important subject, music. I cannot picture in my mind a home that could fulfill in the mean ing implied by the endearing term the functions of a domestic retreat where this soul-inspiring art is overlooked. But lam happily able to say that few and far between are the rooftrees that do not thrill with the heavenly strains of music al harmony, as their walls reflect a harmony of arts but little less divine. Never practice econ omy by tin* sacrifice of a musical instrument. Do without something here and there, but do not omit the piano from your list of furnishings any more than you would a carpet for the par lor floor. And when you buy a piano, secure one that you feel sure will be an ornament to any drawing-room or parlor iu the land. Such an instrument as the one I refer to must neces sarily be the result of the highest art and scien tific perfection attainable in respect to its manu facture. The time has long since passed when the value of a piano could he measured by its vehemence, immensity and loudness of tone. It is not intended to be a mere mechanical de vice for the reproduction of sounds, but a means for depicting oneV feelings, whether of sorrow or despair, hope, joy or gladness. It must pos sess that sympathetic quality of the human voice that touches the innermost recesses of the heart. The instrument, in fact, must fairly .speak, and that. too. with sincerity and feeling. The piano that I would recommend, therefore, must be the acme of perfection, inanimate wood and steel, in other words, must be imbued with qualities akin to a living organism. And this, indeed, is true of that noble instrument which Steinway & Sonshaye made famous throughout the world. The latest art istic Pianos furnished by Stein way & Sons were (irand Piano for Washington, in gold leaf; a banker in New York city, Con cert Grand, in light chocolate enamel:* W. K.
