Folsom’s boarding house, corner of Newnan and Adams streets, was damaged to the extent of SL;O. Mayor Burbridge is working energetic ally to keep the tramp genus from obtain ing a foothold here, and has a gang working on the streets especially for their benotit. The Grunge Fruit Exchange reports heav ier orange shipments now. The Exchange is shipping from 700 to 1,000 boxes per day. all South Florida fruit, and fully up to the average. In the Western markets the fruit is bringing good prices, $3 to $5 per box being the usual returns. The East ern markets are generally lower. M. M. Belissario, of this city, has been elect*-1 Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance. A rumor is current here to-day that a murder was committed at or near Leesburg yesterday, but no particular could be learned here. MR. DOUGHERTY’S FACE SLAPPED. .Something of a sensation was created here this evening over the reported encounter of Hon. Charles Dougherty, member of Con gress from the Second district, and a promi ne ;t lumber merchant of this city. Rumor has it that they were in a saloon “indulg ing,” and that Mi'. Dougherty called the aforesaid gentleman a liar, which it is said he promptly resented by slapping Mr. Dougherty in the mouth. The dispute was amicably arrange ! shortly after. S|h'lul Deputy Sheriff Puge arrested in Kernandiuu last night James Depree, a white man who is wanted in Savannah to answer the charge of stealing a cow. The officer will take the prisoner to Savannah to morrow. Upon opening the Circuit Court this morn ing the case of the State of Florida against Marcus de Medecis, commenced yester day, was resumed, but a jury was hard to secure, as so many had expressed opinions. About fifteen months ago the young prisoner was arrested and imprisoned on the charge of criminally assaulting Mary Blake, a 12- year-old step-daughter of John McCormick. Medecis was couvicted at the spring term of court of the crime and obtained anew trial The penalty of this crime is death. There are six or seven more cases of the some character to dispose of. The doctors have challenged the clergy men for a game of base ball, and some wicked wag endeavored to-day to get the colored preachers to accept it. The Rate Committee of the Southern Pas senger Agents adjourned this afternoon, and without coming to any conclusion. They are all very close-mouthed and will not "say anything about their proceedings. Rumor a'l g-s the action of the Rallioal Commission as the cause. Another report is that as the Savannah, Florida and West ern refused to pro rate, all steps toward securin ; lower fares from the North were stopped. It is said that the Centra) railroad of Georgia will put fast boats on the old Curn b rland route and that very cheap excur si' n rates will be made independent of the {Savannah, Florida and Western road. JACKSONVILLE’S CHARTER The supreme Court Hears the Argu ment of Col. Fleming. Tallahassee. Fla., Nov. 16. —This after noon tile Supreme Court was in session to hear the argument of Col. L. I. Fleming, of Jacksonville, in the Jacksonville charter case now pending. Col. Fleming contended that the last Senate was properly organ ized when presided over by the Lieutenant Governor who was at least President de facto of the Senate, and consequently his acts are binding. The question of special legislation was considered, with the conclu sion by Col. Fleming that no ice of applica tion was not necessary at tho last session. Discussion as to the illegality of the amend ment to the charter was proceeded with on the theory that the amendment does not conform to the constitution, and is there fore invalid. The charter, as it now stands, is deficient in provisions for the organiza tion oi anew government, and it is c aimed thut if the. charter is valid the general elec tion laws are applicable to the form of first government under the new charter or else no organization can be made practicable. The decision is awaited with intense interest by all because serious questions are in volved, and Jacksonville is specially con cerned. FEVER AT PLANT CITY.

Fuller, of this place, was called to a dying child, about six miles in the country, last night, and did not get back home until about 12;.'50 o’clock this morning. He went to his back door for entrance and, greatly to his surprise, lie saw a man in the back vard between the dwelling and kitchen. He {mid no attention to him, but went to the door, and was admitted by his wife. He told Mrs. Fuller that there was someone in the yard, and not to be alarmed, that he in tended trying his artillery on him. When the doctor wont out he saw no.hing of liiin at first, and thought lie had lost his game, but when he went behind the kitchen lie saw the villain making his way out through tho garden. The doctor fired at him i hree times with a Smith & Wesson double action pistol, and thinks one shot took effect.

Strange Dual Life of a Young Million aire of Ohio. Dayton (0.) Special to the A’etr York World. A peculiarly interesting affair has come to light since the recent death of Samuel C. Tatum, a young millionaire of Avondale, an aristocratic suburb of Cincinnati. By many Mr. Tatum was considered very pecu liar, and by all his acquaintances was re garded as a woman-hater. As might be naturally supposed, with the son of a mil lionaire, he was looked upon as a desirable candidate in a matrimonial way, but ho serried entirely indifferent to such entangle ments, and was considered a col firmed bachelor by all his relatives and friend-. As the body lay at the house a carriage drove up and an elegantly dressed lauy alighted. Her black eves, dark hair and features indicated French descent. She hurriedly walked to the front door and ex citedly demanded that -he be permitted to sen the remains of Mr. Tatum. The woman s manner was so -trange and her agitation so noticeable that this was refused. She in sisted that she had a right to what she asked, and in proof took from her pocket a document and handed it over tothi rn 'mler of Ihe household who had rescinded to the ring of the bell. It proved to lie a forma! certificate of the marriage of Samuel Ta tum, Jr., to Marie FrancosEmonmn,of this citv. The family were surprised when confront ed with tbis'evidence of Tatum’s double life, and a consultation was hurriedly held, end ing in the visitor’s being courteously in vited in. It was evident that the document was regular, and that the lady was the law ful wife of a man whom all had regarded as single. The situation was accepted by the family, and tho lady has since remained at the mansion, being treated With all the kindness and honor to which her position entitled her. Marie Frances Emonin. the secret wife of the dead millionaire, was born and reared in this city. Her parents are what ought be termed very poor, but respectable. The storv of Marie's experience for the past four years, no to the discovery that -he was the wife of Mr. Tatum, is a- romantic as a novel. Her people here knew she was mar ried—4u fact, Tatum has been here with bis wife—but they knew him only as Herbert Linton, until recently, when the daughter wrote her mother a letter explaining cer tain matters. When F.mriie. as she is familiarly called, left home four years ago last April it was to go to the Betts Street Hospital in Cincin nati. as was li en thought, to die. She was Buffering with a tumor or cancer, and her parents having exhausted their little capi tal in trying to save their daughter, she flnahy detenu ii‘d, on advice of friends, to go to Cineuui. ti When her parents, broth ers and si-te: - bid her good-by it was with a feeliug'lwt she wotil.i never return alive. But she found relief and finally was cured. It was while a patient in the hospital that she first saw Samuel Tatum. How they became acquainted, and how that acquaiut ati'-e ripened into something more earnest none but themselves knew When she again returned home it was only on n visit, tor she had become the wife of Herbert Linton, who, as time Ims den eloped, was ,Samuel C. Tatum. Jr. They were married in Cincin nati, Covington, or some contiguous city, the marriage license reading: “Herbert i Linton to Fannie Thresher.” This marriage ! took place in September. 1883. It was kept ! secret, notwithstanding the tact that they i kept house somewhere in Cincinnati. It appears that Fannie had her doubts about that sort, of a marriage, anil pleaded with her liege lord that they get married by their right names. This lie promised, hut refused to have it take place ii Cincinnati. 1 Two years after this marriage, in Is-a, they • tis.ka trip through the East. They spout the Fourth oi July in Buffalo, and on the next day Mr. Tatum preen id n li l ' n-e there and the couple were then remarried by their correct unmet Butin spite of this fact Fannie’s mother, until quite recently, be lieved her daughter's husband’s name wu- Herbert Linton. .She oven now speaks of him as Herbert. She lias their pictures in an album as they appeared seated on a rustic bench together, taken the same day of their fictitious marriage. Al ter tiiis second marriage the couple re timed to Cincinnati, but still maintained the name of Linton. They lived together on Court street for a long time and at lee ward at 277 Eighth street. They were visited there by both of Mr. Tatum’s pa | rants, hut iin mi itlier o; tho young man, it is be'ievt-l, never admired her daughler-in i law very much. Iu fact, it is nor. known i hi re it she ever considered her a- such reia- I live until she saw tue Buffalo ma nage cer i tiiieate alter her sou’s death. Mrs. Einon i uin, Fannie’s mother, visit*.-1 tho coup e In i Cincinnati, and says she had heard her daughter call her husband “8a ouol," but tlie never knew him by any other name -han Herbert until she ree utlv received her daughter’s letter of explanation. It is also asserted that the couple hail a child. Tho daughter spent throe weeks In this city with her folks during early sum mer, coming here with her Husband, who after a day's visit went on to Chicago, Mil ls tukee and the Northwest. The letters re ceived by Mrs. Emonnili indicated the sick ness of her daughter's husband: that she. I the daughter and wile, wa- his only nurse. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1887. and that he was lying sick at their home on Eighth street. How he came to be taken to his parents’ home cannot lie discovered here Mrs. Emonnin bad no knowledge of the wealth of her daughter's husband, and was frank enough to admit she often had her doubts about him because of the-eerrsy and mystery surrounding him and hi-wife. She is also satisfied that her daughter was in ignorance as to his wealth even after their genuine marriage in Buffalo. The case is one of mystery and has aroused consider able interest Here. A POSTMASTER’S OFFENSE. The Milton Postmaster Pleads Guilty to Defrauding the Government. From the Pensacola (Fla.) Commercial. I gist Saturday, John Carlovitz, the post master at Milton, Fla, was arraigned be fore United States Commissioner Humph reys, in this city, on a charge Of defrauding the government by an excess of cancel I a tion. Defendant pleaded guilty, and gave bond for his appearance at the March term of the United states Court. Carlovitz is an old Union soldier, and has held ti e position of postmaster at. Milton, since 18-’; the retention of his services after the national administration changed bands is believed to have been in consideration of his record as a soldier. His offense, which is one of very general commission in fourth-class offices, was of this nature: His salary was proportionate to the value of stamps cancelod in hisuffice, and he, from day to day, recorded an ex cess of the actual cancellation. Inspector Boykin, who worked lip the case, says Car lovitz has played the “excess” game for a number of years, and succeeded in getting a salary of nearly sl,lllO per annum from an office that should yield ordinarily about $; 66. The manner in which offenses of this character are detected by the inspectors is of ttie simplest nature, and they are cer tainly novices who attempt to defraud the government by an excess of cancellation. The ease of Curlovitz will very well serve as an illustration of nearly every detection. It was noticed at headquarters that Carlo vitz’s sale of stamps for a quarter was al ways inferior to the amount of -tom[is can celled for the same period, and the discrep ancy was so great that tne question natu rally arose - where did the output of stamps coniefroin? Then the inspector who was put to work on the case, assisted by the route mail agent, took all the mail that left the Milton post ffiee, from the mail pouch, and checked the amount of stamps cancelled. This he did every day for a month. Of course Carlovitz kept a daily record of his cancellation, and the excess re corded by him was readily detected when compared with the actual cancellation as cheesed from the mail pouch. Carlovitz told the inspector, when admit ting his guilt, that liis only regret was that matters had not been looked after more closely live years ago, when lie would not he in the predicament in which he was now placed. Inspector Boykin says the Milton post office is otherwise admirably administered, there being not a better fourth-class office in five States. As remarked at the beginning of this item. Carlovitz’s offence is a very common one, and. under a Republican administra - tion. was carried to extremes. The present administration was not a little perplexed to notice, shortly after their advent to power, a vast falling off in the cancellation of stamps as compared with ttie reports under their predecessors, and it was only after an exhaustive effort to ascertain the cause that the real reasons were detennined. The fourth-class postmasters, fearing detection under a Democratic administration, had be gun to make honest returns. It was upon the report o f Inspector Baird, to whom the idea was suggested by Postmaster Yonge, of this city, embracing the excess-of-cancel lation theory, that. Congress made the ap propriation to detray the expenses of an in spection of fourth-class offices, and the fart is another and a very decided victory for the present administration. Carlovitz was the moving spirit in the or ganJisal ion of the l'ourth-class postmasters, which is shortly to meet in convention at Washington, for tho purpose of urging up on Congress the necessity for providing a more adequate remuneration of the ser vices of fourth-class [jostmasters.

From the Danbury News. In one of the vicinity towns there is a young girl, about 12 years of age, afflicted with a strange mania. She is large for her age, of fine physique, possessed of good features, and more than ordinarily pre possessing. She is robust in health and shows great activity, and Ls unusually smart and intelligent, with the exception of this mania. Every night about 8 o’clock she will go to a neighbor’s house to borrow a lantern. Each time she will make anew excuse for doing so. If she succeeds in get ting the lantern she then takes long walks She does not confine herself to the public highway, but wanders about the fields and frequently in the woods. She does not seem to know what fear is. either of man or beast. She frequently perches herself upon a fence ami sits there a long time, dangling her lantern. About 10 o clock she returns home and goes to bed contented. Her friends, of coni-se, object to these lantern strolls, and she has to steal an ay. Those of her neigh bors who know about them refuse her a lan tern. She has a number of times greatly frightened persons, which seems to please her amazingly. She is in no respect way ward, but seems possessed of a strange and fascinating mania for a lantern. Pensacola Points.
