2 FLORIDA’S METROPOLIS. SMITH OVERWHELMS POPE IN THE RACE FOR MAYOR. The Republicans Defeated by a Ma jority of 1,658 Votes—Names of the Eighteen Aldermen from the Nine Wards of the City-United States Court Business. Jacksonville, Bee. 18.—The election to-day passed off very quietly, con sidering the fortnight's stormy discus sion. The total vote cast was 3,130. C. B. Smith received 2,31)4, n majority of 1,658 over Pope. The Aldermen are as follows: First Ward —J. \V. Archibald and David E. St. John. Second Ward-Benjamin Wright and C. M. Vauglet. ThirJ Ward—Emanuel Fortune and W. H. McCormick. Fourth Ward—D. U. Fletcher and Philip Walter. Fifth Ward—William Clarke and C. R. Bisbee. Sixth Ward—W. M. Dennis and J. T. Boyd. Seventh Ward—J. H. Stephens and P. E. McMurray. Eighth Ward—Stephen Wiggins and JohnT. Spearing. Ninth Ward—D. T. Gerow and N. Web ster. There are thirteen Republicans on the hoard and live Democrats, twelve being Knights of Labor. Five are colored. The first citizens’ ticket brought out was elected, though in several wards changes were made to suit themselves by the resi dents. The smallness of the vote surprised •verybody, as about 4,500 names lire on the lists' There are many good members of the board and few objectionable ones. Now if the Supreme Court decides that the election is legal it will have a good effect. A crowd gathered to-night and jollification speeches were made. ANOTHER COMPLICATION. Late to-night another complication was added by the refusal of the City Clerk and the Mayor to roceive the returns or to recognize them in any manner. The In spectors had possession of their boxes, and took them to the Council rooms. An ex cited meeting of those interested was hold there, and the refusal of these officials de nounced. Col. Ivouis D. Fleming said ho thought everything was done legally, and he saw no reason for this arbitrary action. The Inspectors will remain all night in the Council rooms and keep charge of the box es. A special meeting of the City Council has been called for to-morrow at 9 o’clock to canvass the returns. Excitement runs high. A RUNAWAY HORSE. A runaway horse created some excite ment on Forsyth street this noon. At the corner of Pine the cart struck a telegraph pole and horse, cart and driver were hurled to the ground with great violence. The horse was so badly injured that it was killed, and David Plummer, the driver, was badly bruised aad cut and it is thought is injured internally. Ho was removed to his home, six miles in the country. There was a short session of the United (States Court this morning. Observing the nervousness of the candidates for Aldermen, | several of whom were in attendance, Judge Settle adjourned for the day after giving attention to the following cases: The demurrers to the bill argued and submitted j'esterday in the cases of the Passumpsic Savings Bank against E. T. Williams, as administrator of the estate of Mary A. Leitner et al., and the same against E. T. Williams, as administrator of J. E. Williams, et al., were overruled. A decree of sale in the case of Annie Bab cock, executrix, etc., against F. G. Linberg et al. was signed. In the case of Otto Wolff, trustee, against F. Small et ah, the demurrer was sustained and the bill ordered dismissed. This is the case argued and submitted Saturday last by J. R. Clrallen on a bill to set aside deeds of persons to lands in the Charles Sibbald grant, and opposed by C. P. and J. C. Cooper and Fleming Danieh The court meets at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. OUT OK MONEY. As the appropriations for the payment of witnesses and jurors in the United States < Courts are exhausted and no money can be obtained until Congress passes a bill to ap propriate money to cover the deficiency, it will be difficult to carry on the business of the criminal part of the courts. There are thousands of dollars owing to jurors and witnesses for service last year. The Mar shals and Sheriffs are all complaining that they are in need of money, and Col. Bird has been considerably worried over the lack of funds. H. Jav Smith, a well-known art connois seur of Minneapolis, Minn., who will have charge of the art exhibit of the Sub-Tropical Exposition, was hire this afternoon to make final preparations. About 400 very fine and costly canvasses will be placed on exhibi tion. The sub-tropical Duilding will be completed and turned over by the contrac tors within a week. PENSACOLA’S MURDERER. He Becomes Boisterous and Confesses His Crime. Pensacola, Fla., Dec. 13.—The steve dore question, which has been a much mooted one for the past two months, was to-day finally adjudicated by the white contracting stevedores agreeing to work in each vessel one half white labor and one half colored labor. The committee of lawyers appointed by Judge McLellau to examine into tne charges male by Jeff Lowe, the murderer, against J. D. Thompson, liis attorney, for neglect ing his defense reported to-day in open court. Their report not only exonerated the attorney but spoke rather flatteringly of the defense made by him under the cir cumstances, not one of which was of such a nature as would tend to mitigate the crime or appeal to the sympathy of the court. After this report the prisoner was again arraigned for sentence, which Judge McLellan pronounced, with all the solemnity the occasion required, ending with a prayer that God might have mercy on his soul. After sentence was pronounced the prisoner became boisterous. lie confessed the killing, but claimed it was done in self defense ; that a fight had occurred between him aiid Henry Smith over a game of cards, in which Jeff Lowe had won all t hat Smith was possessed of, including his clothes, that Smith was the aggressor, and that the kill mg was self-defense. The prisoner finally became so excited and violent in his ex pressions that the Judge ordered the Sheriff to take him to jail. Burning of a Barn. Covington, Ga., Dec. 13.—The barn and ((tablet of Janies T. Corley, of this place, were consumed by lire about 8 o’clock last night, together with its entire contents, in cluding a line mule and horse.

Rutherford, for the defense, oc cupied all the nine from 10 o’clock this morning to il o’clock to-night with an argu ment to the jury, and will begin again at 1) o'clock to-morrow.

Liquor Licenses to Cost $ 1,500 in the Town and $2,000 in the County. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 13.—Gov. Gordon did not leave for Washington till to-night. Before leaving he made out the appointment of Judge James S. Hocdc, of Augusta, to be State School Commismoner. Judge Hook will move his family to Atlanta next week, but will not take charge till the Governor’s return. The present Assistant Commis sioner, Edgar 11. Orr, son of the late Dr. Orr, will remain in the same capacity under Judge Hook. The City Council this afternoon fixed the retail liquor license at $1,600, and restricted the sale to the centre of the city. There is considerable dissatisfaction over the ordi nance among the Anti-Prohibitionists, and pressure will be brought on the new council to materially amend it in both particulars. The County Commissioners to-day, under legal advice, receded from their action of last week, fixing the wholesale license at $ 1,600, so far as it relates to the city, and fixed the retail license in the country dis tricts at $2,000. Among the applications received to-day at the executive office for allowance, under the act for disabled soldiers, was that of Gen. James Longstreet, now of Gainesville. The application showed that on the second day’s tattle of the Wilderness he was struck by a ball near the throat, which passed out uear the right shoulder, severing the nerves of the right arm, rendering him practically incompetent to perform manual labor, and leaving the arm substantially useless. The amount allowed is $25. There was a large attendance to-day at the funeral of Dr Orr. The remains were interred at Oakland Cemetery. The public schools were closed, and the teachers and pupils, in large numbers, attended. The .State Departments were cl sed, and the flag was at half mast. CUPID AT TENNILLB. Isldor W.

The baggage ear was somewhat damaged. Mr. W illiams, Baggage Master, was seri ously hurt. The passengers were badly shaken up. E. M. Walsh, who was married at Dublin, Ireland, a short time ago, has returned home with his bride. Hon. John O. Carlisle has been invited to Columbus to address the people on tariff re form.

Dade City, Fla., Dec. 13. —A terrible story of outrago and swift justice comes from Owensboro, a few miles west of here. P. D. Oberry lives in the country five miles from there.

Entering" the house quietly, Mrs. Oberry was overpowered and as saulted, one keeping guard at the door. They then fled. Tho woman managed to reach her nearest neighbors and informed them of tho terrible treatment she had been subjected to. A posse of armed men soon gathered and the trail of the miscreants was taken up. The party searched all that night. but it was late Sunday before they found the black wretches. While being taken to the jail an armed and masked party, sup posed to be Oberry and bis friends, took the negroes from the others and strung them up to convenient oak limbs near the road and then riddled them with buck shot. They confessed their crime before being hung. The bodies were left hanging as a warning to the lawless negroes who are so plentiful at present. Cook Sentenced lor Life. Titusville, Fla., Dec. 13. —Cook, the murderer qf Hoyt, has been sentenced by Judge Broome to life imprisonment. Ait appeal is not probable, and the sentence will doubtless lie executed.

Girls in Indiana VV r'te a Piece About an Editor and Then Horsewhip Him. Hammond, Ind., Dec. 9.—The Evening Echo was started in this town by Porter C. Towle, a brother of Mayor M. M. Towle. It has been very personal in its reference to affairs of local interest. A short time ago the young ladies of the high school peti tioned Trustee C. N. Towle, another brother of the editor of the Echo , for a stove. He re fused to furnish one, and Editor Towle, in his paper, called the girls brainloss and silly. The Weekly Tribune published on Tues day the following: The editor of the Echo evidently imagines every one but himself to have a silly brain. He is nothing but a mass of conceit, and if you will but notice you will perceive that he belong* to the club-footed race. The secret of this is. he has a soft spot In his head, and his bruins have sunk into his heels. • B. B. “• The authors of this were easily identified as Misses Belle Gattone, Bertie Hammond and Juba Holier, all of the best families here. Editor Towle yesterday devoted two-thirds of a column in the Echo to a reply. He did not mention names, but he asserted that the girls were of bad character and readers of a prostitute’s paper; he designated the girls as things, said tliey r wore long dresses to hide their big feet, and were homely enough to stop a clock. The article created a sensation in the city. The fathers and brothers of the girls threat ened to execute vengeance on Towle. Hi a young Indies of the high school were in such a flutter of excitement that studies were suspended, and nothing talkod of but liotv they should punish their slanderer. This evening at 6 o'clock Editor Towle left his office to go home. He had passed the Morton House, when he met seven young ladies, members of the high school, three of them the ones he had at tacked. They' carried rawhide whips of the cowboy pattern. Towle’s face blanched, and he' turned to flee, but tbe gil ls formed a circle around him so that his escape was cut off. They then throw rod pepper in his eyes, and the aggressive three little maids rushed in, raised the horsewhips, and showered blows on his head and shoulders. Towle threw up his his hands and shouted: “Don’t girls! for God’s sake, don’t!” The three continuing the punishment without mercy, he threatened to shoot them, but the girls jeered him and applied the whips the faster. Finally he broke through the ranks, and made his escape. He fled into Charles Cleveland’s yard, and took refuge in an outhouse, locking t he door. Here he remained while a great crowd gathered around. At last the coast was partially clear, and he rail out arlfl got to his home. One story to-night is that the girls are to be arrested. Another story is that he has gone West on ttie night train to escape what he fears will lie more severe punishment. Citizens threaten not to allow the Echo to again come out unless a full and complete retraction and apology is made to the y'oung ladies. Leading citizens arc said to be making up a pur e to get some jewelry to present to the three girls who used the whips. ELOPED WITH AN INDIAN. How a Minister’s Daughter was De ceived by a Bogus Spaniard. Prom the Philadelphia Press. Niagara Falls, Dec. 11.—News has reached here of the elopement of a minis ter’s daughter with a full-blooded Tuscarora Indian, with whom she became acquainted, under the supposition that he was a Span iard. David Littlejohn, the Indian, has been around the Falls for some time, doing little work, but always being reasonably well dressed. He had some education and an agreeable manner. The story told by' the girl’s brother, who was here to-day, is this: His father, he says, is Rev. Augustus Schwitzen. He lives at Swarmsville, near Transit, in Erie county, on the line of the New York Central rail road. His sister, Paulino, will be 17 years old in February. Hhe is a blonde, with blue eyes, flaxen hair, and has been edu cated by her father. Imst summer Pauline came with some friends on an excursion to Niagara Falls. While on Goat Island she missed her companions, and, meeting the Indian, asked him to assist her in looking for them This he did and made himself so agreeable that an acquaintance followed. Ho told her ho was a Spaniard and was stopping at the Prospect House with some titled Europeans, by whom he was. em ployed. The acquaintance ripened into love and arrangements were made by letter for the girl to elope with the pseudo Spaniard. She left her home dressed in her best attire early on Monday morning and took the 8:18 tram at Transit for Niagara Falls, going by wiiy of Towanda. Some letters written by Little john were found in her room and accounted for her disappearance. Mr. Schwitzen traced his sister to Niagara Falls and there lost track of her. After making as thor ough fin investigation as he knew how to, he went home. This was on Thursday. Meanwhile, Littlejohn went to Swarmsville with the girl, introduced her as his bride, and sought parental forgiveness. The in dignant relatives of the girl had ascertained that the man was a ne’er-do-well Indian, who earned what money he had in some mysterious manner, and they ordered him out of tile house. He declined to leave un less she went too, anil the result was a fight in which Littlejohn was kicked and pounded mercilessly. The girl tried to interfere, declared that she loved the man. ami would follow him whenever he went. Lit tlejohn was kicked out and threatened with tar and feathers if be ever showed his face in the neighborhood, and Pauline was locked np in the room. The girl said that they went to Hamilton from Niagara Falls, were marriedbysome minister, vvhose name she falls to recollect, and stopped at a small hotel. The certificates, she said, her hus band kept. Pauline persisted that he was not an Indian, and she still believes that lie is well off. Her folks will try to have the marriage annulled, although they think it was a mock marriage. Mr. Schwitzen had no chance at Littlejohn, and came here to-day hunting for him. To those he talked with at Suspension Bridge he said he hail a revolver und would kill the Indian at sight. A Murderer Respited.

NINA VAN ZANDT’S PRESENTIMENT She Believes That She Will Soon Fol low Spies—Her Latest Photograph. Prom the New York World. Chicago, Dec. 11.—A story is printed here to-day that Nina Van Zandt, looking very pale and thin, went to a photographer’s yesterday afternoon to have her picture taken. She was dressed in deep mourning and insisted upon all of it being represented in the photograph. “I believe that I shall not live long,” she said. “I have a presenti ment that I shall not long survive my hus band. and I want this picture to show me just as I look now. I shall leave it as a memento of my love for my martyred hus band.” Tbe photograph shows her in the deepest mourning, and is altogether a ghastly affair, the heavy masses of crajie that hide her thick hair giving her pale face a startling and unnatural whiteness. She looks thinner and paler than she has at any time since the trial. It is said that Miss Van Zandt receives great numbers of letters every day from sympathizers and cranks all over the coun try. A greut many of the letters contain offers of marriage. These are immediately destroyed. The letters of sympathy are usually answered briefly if they appear to be sincere. A great many people have an idea that Miss Van Zandt is in needy cir cumstances, and offer her financial assist ance. The fact is that her family is com paratively well off, and Nina has a luxu rious home. The Savannah Weekly News. Sixteen Pages. For Saturday, Dec. 17, 1887. READY THIS MORNING. CONTENTS.
