one lady who can handle a pistol with a

shot a boy who was trying to enter her
home. It was an accident on tbe boy’s
part, be thinking be was entering bis own
home. Thursday night Mrs. Cornelius fired
at a burglar, aud possibly hit him. This
time there, was no mistake, but a genuine
would-be housebreaker. Mr. Cornelius was
away from home, and bis wife, with a
nurse, was alone with the children,
when she heard someone walking
on the back porch aud rattle
the door knob trying to get In. The
nurse carried the lamp and Mrs. Cornelius
secured her trusty 38-caliber revolver and
went to tho door. The would-be burglar
left for the time being, and Mrs. Cornelius
thought him gone. She returned to her
room, and in a short while biurd a little
noise that attracted her attention and de
tected someone creeping around to a win
dow. She had the nurse to pull down the
upper sash, and raising up. fired over it in
the direction of tho man. He dropped to the
floor and ran out of the back yard. A negro,
who was probably near, heard the shot anu
went ia to see what wa) the cause- Mrs,
Cornelius thought him to be the burglar
and "covered” him with the pistol until her
husband returned.

bis waist iu water aud mud, and he made
his way to shore as rapilly as possible. The
recent north winds had lowered the water
so this mud bank was several inohei out of
water and looked as though it was hard
ground.
81 Augustine correspondent Jacksonville
Times-Union : While the questU nof what
will Florida havo at the Columbian exposi
tion is occupying the minds of those who do
not fully understand the latent aud appar
ent wealth of Florida, toere are men, me
chanics, who are hard at work devising
machiuery to clean the fibers which grow
iu such liberal profusion in this slate. These
men cannot understand why the people of
Florida should not furnish a goodly share
of the l.T>(X),000 tons required annually to
supply the deminds of Europe for libers.
Florida is able to utilize her ruillioos of
acres in producing banana end plantain
trees (maniUa), over 40,00 j tons
of which liber is annually shipped
from the Philippine i-lauds. ” Think of
the vast sum of $500,000 being expended
in the cultivation ot sisal hemp ou the Ba
hama islands, when the td al, plantain, pita
(or silk grassi, pineapple leaves, another
silk-giving plant, tho Spanish tayonet. and
in fact all the sjiecies of the cacti family are
prolific in their growth in this state that
up to the present day tho settlers have
turned their labors to the destruction of
millions of dollars worth of this God-giving
blessing—the fiber of Florida. J. E. Mor
gan, a young mechanic, an account of
whose efforts in developing the fiber indus
try was published in the Times-Union sev
eral months ago, is still hammering away
away at his work, aud now that he has au
opportunity of securing a machine to sep
arate the fiber from tbe matrioe it only
remains for a few men of capital to put this
great industry ou a firm footing and sell to
tho markets of the world the fibers of
Florida.

Buchanan Messenger: Hon. T. W. M.
Brown was in town Monday. He has gone
into the saw-mill business pretty exten
sively, thinking it more profitable, per
haps, than going to the legislature. He says
he is out of politics, but wants to vote for
some good man to fill the place he has been
Ailing. Mr. Brown has made a faithful
member fur the last two terms, and should
he ask for a third term he would be hard to

Tuo stocs market In the main was strong to
day, but remained very dull for the general
list, an 1 there were only four active stocks -
St. Paul, Heading, Delaware and Hudson and
Denver and Rio Grande preferred—whore
combined operations were one half of the total
business transacted. The strength in the last
two was also oao feature of the market, though
other coalers wore in close sympathy, and
Grangers, while dull, presented a very firm
frrut. Tbe conDnued evening up of short con
traote accounted for the strength of the list,
but there was new buying of a most pronounebd
sort in the two stocks which gave Character to
tho trading. Delaware aud Hudson scored a
remarkable gain, rising from 13144 to 13H and
closing at tbe top figure, while Denver and Rio
Grande preferred, which was bought by in
terested parties who have been bulling the
stock for some time, rose from 494$ to 5145;
also closing at the best price New Jersey Cen
tral responded to the ttrengtb in Delaware and
Hudson by rising again above 140, and Lacka
wanna and Reading were not so strong
Rumors in regard to the reorganisation sent
Richmond and West Point preferred up 1 per
cent, aud affected the bonds favorably, but
the stocks were tery dull with the rest of the
market. Tbe general list opened witn irregular
but-alight changes trom last night's figures,
and a slow but steady Improvement occurred
up to the time of the publicatiou of the bank
statement, which showed a heavy loss in specie
and surplus reserve, though its influence was
only mom entary. The close was active and
strong at the best prices of the day. Final
changes are generally small fractional gains,
hut Delaware and Hudson is up 54$ per cent.,
lienver and Rio Grande preferred *2*s. New
Jersey Central 11$ and I-ackaw&nna 1 per cent.

Chicago, Feb. 27.—Tne wheat market hai a
very decided break to day. The fact that Liver
pool was co lower af er our market of yester
day gave the friends of wheat soma courage at
tbe start, the price of May a- ,und the opening
being 9S@92vjc. against 9!at the close
yesterday. It held within these figures for an
hour or more. Weakness was tbe feature of
the market from that time till the clos-. which
was at 90)$c, the lowest figure of the day and 2c
below the top price. Corn was quiet but
weak, owing partly to the dullness of trade and
partly to the break in wheat. The shipping
demand is slacker than usual and there was
little speculative buying. Holders showed
some discouragement and a good
many sold freely. The market opened
Lio higher at 42>40. in sympathy with tbe
early firmness in wheat, and improved !$o more,
but it Sold off to 41J$c and closed at 42c. Oats
were more active, but lower and weak. Liqui
dation of several large Imre which commenced
yesterday was continued to-day. The close
shows a loss of iqc. Pork had a sharp break
and showed a loss of 25c at the close. Weakness
in live hogs snd the break in wheat were partly
responsible for this, but a sudden raid by a
proin nent speculator in the latter part of the
session aided In the depression. To.ere were
on • or two little ralli •*, but they were feeble
Lard and sides were less affected and snow only
immaterial declines.
