Mr. and Mrs. Harvev claim that they are both subjects > and citizens of Ireland, and that the United States oourt is the proper place for the trial of the suit. Terry llome Journal: AVe are informed that on last Thursday, May 8, that J. J. Stripling, while drawing water from his mother’s well for the purpose of cleaning same, drew from the well a monster that resembled an alligator very much. It had every resemblance of a young ’gator, ex 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. FLORIDA. Cotton is in fine condition in Washington county. A canning factory is to be established at Chipiey. Circuit court convenes at Chipiey next Monday.

The Manatee and Sarasota Railway Com pany is fast accumulating land*, which is considered conclusive proof that the peo ple are taking a deep interest in the enter prise. A citizen of Alaohua county on Tuesday purchased of Dr. John Hood of Baltimore, for cash. 1,280 acres of phosphate land in Cook’s hammock, beyond the Suwannee river. The Florida Horticultural Society have recommended President Dudley W. Adams of the society to Gov. Fleming for appoint ment as one of the Florida commissioners to the world’s fair.

Dukes, an old citizen of Columbia county, died on last Saturday night at his residence in the southern part of the county of typhoid fever after a brief illness. He was a man of considerable prominence, having represented the county a time or two in the legislature. Dr. Corrigan, brother of Archbishop Corrigan of New York, made a valuable purchase of hammock lands near Palmetto last week. The doctor invested heavily in Pasco county two or three years ago, where he has been engaged in the cultivation of an orange and lemon grove, which was ruined by the late freezes, which accounts for his new investments. Gainesville Sun: D. D. Wyman, near Archer, has twenty acres of cucumbers, un doubtedly the finest in the state. Oat of thirty-one crates picked aud shipped two weeks ago only twelve culled cukes were found. This shipment brought #8 per crate.

Count de la Lond of Rouen, France, who has resided for two or three years past at San Autonio, Fia., where he*established a French colony about three years ago, has lately made valuable purchases in and around Palmetto, where he proposes to re side and engage in lemon culture. The chance* ar* that the entire Ban Autonio colony will move to Palmetto, which will cot only be a big thing for Palmetto, but also a very tall feather in Manatee ematy’s cap. Pensacola .Yews; It is stated that five special government agents who have bean working in Covington county, Alabama, in vestigating timber depredations on public lands in that section, nave reported to the department at W ashing ton that about 50,000 logs have been cut from public lands iu that oounty and brought t.o this state by R.

Ho was valued at #l5O. 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, are thrown out as they ought to be, thore 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 still a theme of discussiou upon the street. Work on the city hull and the store house of Mr. Salomouson has been suspended, also the final completion of the Allen build ing, in consoquence of his unaccountable absence. His liabilities, arising out of bis various contracts, is between (3,(XX) and #4,000. so for as we have been able to ascer 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.

The other grand officers were installed at the night session, at which many invited guests wero present. Jacksonville was chosen as the placo for holding the next convention. 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. At San M ’teo Tuesday night. Deputy Sheriff A. Williams met Noah Floyd, a colored de-pe.-ado of that county (Putnam), at the postotllce, which is located In Tiugley & Rowley’s store. Floyd went in and asked 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. The officer found Floyd’s pistol at Mr. Bacon’s front gate, where Floyd dropped it, one chamber beiug empty. FOR GEORGIA FARMERA The cotton aud corn prospect in Houston county just now is very promising indeed. A young farmer near Perry has promised to show a cotton bloom within tne next three weeks. It is rumored that an alliance store and another warehouse will be established in Perry before the next cottou crop is ready for market. 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.

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. MEDICAL. How is Your Blood?
