them. The coroner served the paper, and
three alternatives were left Sheriff Morrow,
to produce the goods, go to jail or give bond
In doable the amount. That official, how
ever, managed to delay the proceedings
until to-morrow, when he will be obliged
to meet tbe issue face to face. The sheriff's
delay was the result of bis inability to con
sult his lawyers off hand. He is ready to
give bond if neoessary. Other minor pro

of goods by giving a mortgage thereon.
Kenny is called upon to surrender the mort
gage, as Boettcher is quoted in the tax re

The Runaway Senators Vote Down a
Motion to Approve tha Journal of
the Days on Wnlch They Were Ab
sent—An Investigation of the Senate
President Demanded.
Tallahassee, Fla., May 29. The
House has indefinitely postponed the bill to
change the congressional districts.
The return of the "babes of the wood” to
their seats in the Senate this morning added
another complication to tbe senatorial mud
dle. On a motion to approve the journal of
that body for May 26, 27 and 28, the three
days ou which seventeen senators were ab
sent, tbe vote was: Yeas 15, nays 16. This
action, it it claimed, abrogates every act of
the minority during tbe absence of the
“babes,” including their participation in
the joint session on May 26, when Senator
Call was declared elected.
AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.
Senator King today introduced the fol
lowing resolution:
Whireak. In tbe Florida Standard, a news
paper published in the city of Jacksonville, of
tne date oi May 27, 1891, appears an editorial,
which states tost Hon. J. B. Brown, president
of the Senate, on the night of May 20. 1891, in
the pre-enoe of several gentlemen, made use of
the following language: "I am a partisan, as
was shown by my appointment or the commit
tees I have advised the Call caucus to oppose
every measure introduced by the antis, no mat
ter how good it is, and from this time on we
will fight it out on this line;" and.
Whereas, The art cle quoted contains a very
grave charge against the president of the Sen
ate, and one which seriously reflects upon the
dignity and integrity of the members of this
body, therefore be it
Resolved, By the Senate, that a committee of
five senators be appointed by the president to
investigate said charges, and that they be
authorized to send for persons and papers.
The resolution was adopted.
A PETITION AGAINST CALL.
A petition has been presented to Gov.
Fleming, praying that no certificate of elec
tion as senator 6hall be issued to Senator
Call. This petition, it is understood, sets
forth these facts: That, under the consti
tution of the United States and the laws
made in pursuance thereof providing for
the election of a senator by the legislature,
that the organized Senate and the organized
House constitute the legislature; that Sen
ator Call has not received a majority vote
of the organized legislature, and, conse
quently, there has been no election of a sen
ator.
THE REPORT ON RETRENCHMENT.
The House committee on retrenchment
have prepared an elaborate report, in which
they recite the burdens of state and county
taxation bearing so heavily upon the people,
and the extravagant appropriations which
yearly increase the gap between the state’s
income aud its expenditures. In the
making up of this report Chairman Blitcb
had the earnest co-operation of Manatee’s
able young representative, Mr. R. T.
Young, and Mr. Turnbull of Leon, who is
the advocate of all reform measures.
Among the recommendations of the com
mittee are the following: Transfer the cost of
criminal prosecutions from state to county;
insisting that local supervision of the dst
and fee Dills will tend to lessen this rapidly
growing source of expense. That each
county be allowed to place to the credit of
its general revenue fund its own poll tax,
all fines and forleitures and costs arriving
therefrom. In their opinion these will suf
fice to meet the cost of criminal prosecu
tions. These ohanges, they say, will at
least be a step in tbe direction of justice and
economy. They suggest that the act estab
lishing the bureau of agriculture be
amended so as to reduce cost of same.
They insist that a tax of a quarter of a mill
will be ample for the state board of health;
that the nnmber of county boards be re
duced; that the fees of county officers be
adjusted to oonform to the financial condi
tion of the people; that salaries of all clerks
ia the various departments of the state
government be reduced at least 15 per
cent.; that no appropriations be made for
East and W est Florida seminaries; that the
jurisdiction of justices of the peace be ex
tended to give them jurisdiction of misde
meanors; that oounty criminal courts of
record be deprived of exclusive original
jurisdiction; that tbe road law be amended,
etc.; that the constitutional provision es
tablishing normal scoots be abrogated; that
the offloe of adjutant general be abolished,
and that the constitution be amended in sev
eral particulars in the interest of re
trenchment and reform. They also invite
attention to a comparison of appropriations
for the years 1878 and 1889, submitted with
report.

ing from the dense crowds that lined tbe

dynamite at MOSCOW.
The discovery of four large boxes of
dynamite in tbe custom department of the
French exhibition last Sunday, was in part
reason for the delay of the royal visit to
Moscow. The boxes would have been
seized ou tbe frontier but for a
concession made by the customs
department which allowed exhibits to pass
unopened. The whole ground under tbe
dais erected for the czar was then exoavated,
owing to fears that it had been undermined,
but nothing was found. Rumors that
mines were discovered on the rail
way and under the route taken
by the czar are unconfirmed. But most
extreme precautions were taken. The police
even removed the roof cf the triumphal
arch in their zeal to insure the safety of the
czar, and every window facing the street
was ordered closed while the czar was pass

AN ECHO FROM THE FLOOD.
How the Owner Recovered a Gold
Ring From the Johnstown Deluge.
From the Johnstown Democrat.
Last evening a young man, Mr. John
Butts, who resides on Vine street, came to
this offloe to advertise the finding of a large
gold ring. While at work yesterday exca
vating for a cellar in the rear of the resi
dence of Dr. W. W. Walters on Vine street
Mr. Butts dug out the ring with a lot of
dishes and other articles.
In preparing tbe advertisement it was dis
covered that the ring had carved on the in
side the characters, “9. C. P. to L. C., Au
gust 16, 1583.” A reference to the Johns
town Directory showed that the initials "8.
C. P.” were the same as those of Dr. Bamuet
C. Poland, and that “L. C,,” no doubt, re
ferred to his wife, as her maiden name was
Lottie Cooke.
At the tune of the great calamity Dr.
Poland and family resided at the corner of
Market and Llnooln streets. Taeir two lit
tle sous, Fred and Walter, wore drowned
and all their household effects swept away.
Some time after the flood Dr. Poland and
family removed to Philadelphia, where they
bars since resided.
Mra Poland has been visiting her sister,
Mrs. Nellie Mildren, who bat been ill for
some we* k. and realties on Main street near
the club house, aud Mr. Butts was directed
to call on her last evening. Mrs. Polnod
instantly rnoogijsed her ring, aud hsr emo
tions on r. .wiving it can better be imagined
than described. It U the only article that
sb# hat recovered from her house.

New York, May 29.—R. O. Dun & Co.'*
weekly review of trade says: “It is aston
ishing hew far the monetary anxiety has
passed from the minds of men, though gold
exports have not yet oeased. The most
powerful sustaining influence is the contin
uance of exceedingly favorable crop pros
pects. In some localities tributary to New
Orleans ram is needed for cotton and
sugar, but winter wheat is now
so far advanced in many states
that a heavy yield is considered
certain and the prospects for other grains
are as bright as it well can be at this date.
Wheat has fallen \\ cents here, corn 5
cents and oats 8% cents, while pork has
yielded 25 cents per barrel and lard an
eighth. The exports of wheat already
show a decided increase. Sugar is a shade
lower for Muscovado raw and for granu
lated.
ALL PRICES LOWER.
“In general the prices of commodities
have declined not far from 1 per cent, for
the week, and will further decline as the
new crops draw near if no disaster comes.
The end of the great coke strike does not
yet bring low prices, for it is announced
that f 1 90 will still be charged, but twenty
three Iron furnaces of the Shenango and
Mahoning valleys have decided to resumo
work at once, according to the telegrams.
There is a better demand in the eastern
markets for bar and structural iron and
plates.
COTTOIt MANUFACTURE.
“ Cotton manufacture progresses without
change, and eastern failures have caused
especial dullness in the boot and shoe and
leather trades, even for the dull season. At
Philadelphia there is general hesitation be
cause of the state of the city finances. The
only markets at which stringency is re
ported are Savannah and Memphis,
though money is firm at New
Orleans and m strong demand at
Minneapolis, and a little close at
Cleveland and Detroit, but in general the
supply at nearly all points is adequate for
all legitimate business. The clearing house
exchanges show a smaller volume of pay
ments for May than a year ago, but the
railway traffic returns are more favorable
and the earnings show gains.
“The business failures of the week num
ber 219. For the corresponding week of
last year the figure was 204.”
MURDEROUS MADNESS.
A Negro Kills His Wife and Danger
ously Wounds a Daughter.
Pbnsacola, Fla., May 29.—T0-day at
Warrington, on the naval reservation,
Edmund Toliver (colored) shot and in
stantly killed bis wife, and then shot and
probably fatally wounded a daughter.
Another daughter and a son escaped from
the boose, thereby saving their lives, as it
was plainly the man's intention to murder ,
his whole family. He was arrested, brought
to the city, and given a bearing before the
United States commissioner this afternoon.
He pleaded guilty, and was remanded
without the benefit of bail to await the
next session here of the United States oourt.
He has been very erratic for several years,
and about two years ago was locked up for
four days because of dangerously insane
conduct. His act of to-day is the work of
a mad man.
