cept it had a smooth skin, and is spotted
like a rattlesnake, and measures seven
inches in length. Mr. Stripling has this
wonderful monster in a large tin vessel,
which he keeps supplied with fresh water!
. and says the monster will eat bread or any
thing that be may put in there for it to eat.
Athens Banner: A party in Athens told a
Banner reporter a story so horrible iu its
nature that we withhold names until an in
vestigation is made. It is this: Yesterdav
morning a little whito girl, only a child in
age, passed him running and erving as if
her heart would break. He stopped her and
asked what was the matter, when the child
replied that her mother had sent her to a
certain man in Athens, with instructions to
do as he said. When she obeyed, the fellow
attempted liberties, against which the inno
cent child rebelled, and fled from his pres
ence in terror. We think there must be
some mistake about this, but it should be
investigated, tsucli a orime will not be
tolerated in our midst.
It is said that several salootis will be
opened in Athens under the original pack
age decision of the United States supreme
court. Ihe Banner says: “The question
is raised—and this gives the prohibitionists
a faint glimmer of hope as to whether the
question of ‘original package’ does not
cover the package just ns it it shipped. If
a box {of drinks’ is received, can tbe first
covering be removed and the whisky sold
in the bottles it is received in, o: does
wigina l package' mean the box? On this
thread hangs the entire fate of the prohbib
itioniatt. Another feature of tbe law which
makes these agencies a little better than
open barrooms, is that none of the whiskv
sold under this decision can be drunk on the
premises.”
Macon Telegraph: One of Macon’s travel
leg salesman had a stranga experience yes
terday on the way from Atlanta. It was
e&riy m the morning when he left Atlanta,
and as he bad been forced to hurry through
his dressing and start without his broakfast
be paid little or no attention to bis fellow
pas.-er.gers. Just before the train reached
Griffin a lady, seated immediately behind
him, leaned forward and whispered in his
ear that his personal beauty had prove 1 too
much for her susceptible heart ana she loved
him fondly. With a smile of conscious power
the drummer turned to look on the maiden
whose heart he had ensuared. The smile
vanished, however, when be realized that
the soft voice belonged to a maiden of 45
summers, who was by no means beautiful.
He immediately changed his seat, but it
was no use. The ensuared one followed
him and continued to tell of her pasaion
until everybody in the car was laughing.
As the train was stopping a big man came
in from the smoking car and explained that
the lady was crazy and be was taking her
to the insane asylum. The drummer was
much relieved, as he baa a wife and six
children in Macon, and he knew he would
have difficulty in making a satisfactory
explanation it she followed him home.

Circuit court has been in session at
Gainesville about ten days. T. e first week
was devoted to civil cases, and some fear is
expressed as to the legality of the proceed
ings now that the criminal cases are about
to come on. Owing to some peculiarities
of the registration law, it is an exceedingly
difficult matter to get a jury, and some
lawyers express grave doubts as to whether
it is possible to do so before August next, at
which time a different law goes into effect.
In the Thrasher case the lawyers are on
hand, and both sides are prepared for trial.
Tho probabilities are now that court will be
adjourned on account of the difficulty of
procuring a jury.
Tallahassee Floridian: The usual heavy
republican majority in DeLand was greatly
roduced in the recent municipal electiou;
in fact, the Record claims that if illegal
republican votes, cast by men believed to
be residents and voters in northern cities,

would have been a nice majority for the
entire democratic ticket. As it was, the
democratic marshal was elected. The re
publican majority, as counted, ranges from
six to fifteen. The democrats will contes 7
the election in the courti. W uichever way
the matter may be decided, the democrats
have the satisfaction of knowing that they
made a net gain of over 150 votes. DeLand
will surely be democratic in the next gen
eral election.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1890.
Gainesville Sun: There has been much
speculation for weeks pist concerning ths
valuable deposits of phosphate in the Stein
hatches region beyond the Suwannee river,
and there has been a spirited competition
on the part of capitalists to secure the best
of the phosphate land in that quartar. The
struggle was ended Wednesday by the sale
of 20,(XX) acres of what is known
as the Cook’s hammock and Lur
aville properties to the Disston
Laud'Company, the consideration border
ing closely on to #1,000,000, principal! v cash.
The development of the phosphate deposit!
just purchased will demand tne immediate
construction of on 9 or more railroads to
transport the rock, and strongly appeals to
those interested in the Gainesville, Tallahas
see and Western railroad to conclude as
speedily as possible negotiations for the
huiidiag of that road.
Tampa Tribune: The disappearance of
James Bullivaut, one of the moat promi
nent builders and contractors of the city, is

Work on the city hull and the store house

ing, in consoquence of his unaccountable
absence. His liabilities, arising out of bis
various contracts, is between (3,(XX) and

tain. He left here with the avowed intention
of going to Cacipville, Fla, to secure brick
aid was to have returned in a uay or two,
but be has now been gone more than a week.
Still ho has borne such a good reputation
that it is difficult to believe that he has ab
sconded. The Tampa News says: He took
the city hall contract for #9,675, and has
been paid #9,000 of the amount, and it will
require about #3,000 or more to complete
the work.

Pensacola yews: Saturday night Charles
Cawfield aud Cnarles licit, who were hang
ing around a saloon on Palnfox street,
thought it would be a very funny thing to
impersonate officers of the law, aud run in
some unsuspecting individual. Looking
around them they fixed upon a person
named H. G. Res passes, who is connected
with one of the harbor tugs in some capac
ity, as the one who would furnish them
with all the fuu they desired. Approacn
ing ltespesses they informed him that they
were policemen, and had orders to arrest
him. Believing them to be officers, he
quietly yielded and accompanied them to
the gate of the county jail. Seeing the
jailer approaching they suddenly ab
sconded, leaving Respesses at the gate, be
wildered by their strange conduct. He was
soon made to realize the trick that had beeu
played upon him, aud stepping across to
Dolice headauarters had a warrant issued
for the two jokers. The next day they
were fined #25 each.

for his mail, aud the officer followed him ic.
The officer told him he had a warrant for
his arrest. At this point Floyd drew his
pistol to fire at Williams, when Williams
raised his double-barreled shotgun and fired,
the buckshot taking effect in Floyd’s left
side. Floyd staggered, ami after recovering
started to shoot at VVillianis, when Will
iams backed out doors. Floyd then slot
at Williams, and the deputy sheriff
returned the shot. Floyd ran up to a neigh
lioring house where a lady was lying at the
point of death. The officer allowed the
brothers of Floyd to take him home, where
hediedsoon afterward. A large reward
for Floyd’s arrest has beeu hanging over
him since lie shot at Sheriff Shelley and his
deputy. The first charge of shot went en
tirely through Floyd’s body, the second
shot lodged iu the lower part of his body.
Floyd’s shot at the officer did not take effect.

Bacon’s front gate, where Floyd dropped it,

A young farmer near Perry has promised
to show a cotton bloom within tne next

It is rumored that an alliance store and
another warehouse will be established in
Perry before the next cottou crop is ready

The most encouraging reports are being
received from the planters cf Sumter
county. Cotton is in line condition, and the
oat crop is the only thing that looks bad.
A gentleman who farms near Perry
brought to the Home Journal office Tues
day morning a stalk of cotton that con
tained several squares, and measured about
twelve inches in night.
Mcßae Enterprise: B. W. Harrell of
this place brought to this office a sarapie
stalk of the finest cotton we nave seen teis
season, which was grown on his place. It
measured about twelve inches high, and
showed signs of fruit forming.
Elberton Gazette: Instead of offering a
year’s subscription to ths man who will
bring us the largest watermelon this year,
we nave decided to raise it ourself. Maj.
Jones has given us some Cuban watermelon
seed, aud we have planted them.
The alliancemen of Pulaski and Dodje
counties have agreed to combine and estab
lish a guano factory. Committees from the
two counties are now arranging fora ineot
iug, and alliancemen from the neighboring
counties are invited to be presunt, as it is
very much desired that oth r counties shall
become int'rested in the enterprise. Pu
laski and Dodge will go ahead witli the
movement anyhow.
