The suits are for the aggregate amount of sl4- 000. Mr. P- kor was unable to secure a set tlement with the companies, hence the suit.

Tampa Times: Florida is yet an un known country to many people, even to newspaper men, as win the following from a re. nt issue of t- National Ho tel Reporter: “It is curious, though true, that of all the houses. * tons, hotels and other buiMhigs that dot the island of Key West from one shore to the other, not one of them ha- a ehimney or anything that will answer t)* ( purpose of a chimney. Wood or coal nr fuel oi any kind are un known quantities, as the tropical atmos phere furnishes all of the heat required, and for cooking purposes sticks of carbon are used, which are sold by peddlers, who hawk their wares about the streets." Jacksonville Times-Fnion: The most sen sational case of tin* criminal court term tlius far was that of William llenry Mill iard. whit*-, charged with the crime of bigamy. The defendant was charged with marrying Christina Mallard June y, IS9O, and of marrying Ollie Bryan May 21. lf>97. The jury remained out a long time, finally bringing in a verdict of guilty. The de f* rise set up by A. M. Miehelson was that the eomp’alnani, Christina Mallard, has one-eighth n< gro blood in her veins, and that according to the constitution of the state of Floridthe marriage of the de fendant to the complainant, Christiana Mallard, was null and void, and the de fendant was innocent of the crime charg ed against him.

On Saturday a party will go to Bin na Vista to test a pi*- culiar strata of rock which abounds in that si-ction. Contractor Varnado will lead the party with a suffl lent supply of dynamite to crack open ilie earth.

Ben nett, general manager and promoter of the Florida Western railroad, now build ing between Carribelle and Apalachicola, also has a force at work on the Tallahas see Southeastern railway, a line projected from Tallahassee to Gainesville, on which line considerable work was done a few years ago. The capitalists whom Mr. Bennett repre sents, it is said, have bought the frnn '•bisis of this road. The line has been located about 10U miles, twenty miles gra ded and seven miles of rails laid. The pro jected line traverses most of tin* distance a virgin forest of excellent timber and t uns through some of the finest phosphate deposits in Florida. Mr. Bennett's oi*r ations seem to indicate that his company intend to do something with their new purchase. In the opinion of many, this would be an important railroad line to Florida, und ns profitable as any line in the state. Hon. W. A. Rawls, chairman of the dem ocratic executive committee; Mrs. Rawls, und Miss Letltla.it Rawls, will leave for the north Sept. 1.

Do You Use It? It’s the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no ymn by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

Mr. Joseph Mansfield, Is enthusiastic In hi* advocacy of the state's purchase of Haiielo Island in order to utilize it for convict labor. That the Idea Is a |>opular one is evidenced by the number of letters he is dally receiving from prominent men in all portion* of the state approving the plan as the very’ le st solution of the vex ed convict question. The island 1* amongst the highest on the Georgia coast and very healthy. It contain* about |a,i<i acres, a large portion of which t* rich black shell soil cap il.lv <>f producing any crop, aid Ul natural pamumge is excellent. Oysters, tisli mid clam* are abundant. A plentiful supply of urieslan water may he hud by boring wells from 351) lo ('* feet deep.

Abuses have undoubtedly crept into the convict system ond I feel that they would be remedied by this change. Ii is ftiso certain that ihe better part of a convict's nature could be more easily developed on a sea island than in the many miserable places where they now are scattered. Georgia would truly be able to boast of one of the best man aged and most humane convict systems in the states.” As to natural beauties Sapeio probably takes second place to none of the sea is lands. Hr majestic oak groves, splendid lieach, etc., have been subjects of many complimentary' remarks by northern vis itors. The jffiand has belonged to the Spalding family since about fifty years ago. At present the principal owners are Mrs. Nellie Spalding, estate of Mrs. Will iam C. Wylly, Dr. Spalding Kenan and Amos Sawyer. JIT. III.AM' YIELDS ITS DEAD. Hotly of ('apt. \rK?? right.

Henry Ark wright, who was aide-de-cafnp to ihe Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; a guide named Mi chel Simond and two porters, Francois and Joseph Toumler, were killed by an ava.anehe on the grand plateau of Mount Blanc in October, 1866. The bodies of the guide and porter were found after a week, but Capt. Arkwright's body was only re covered from the ice on Sunday last. 9,000 feet below where he died. All exce_pt the feet and head were recovered. The right hand was marvelously lifelike. The ice had preserved in it the red tint of blood. From the pocket of his gray waistcoat was drawn a white blue-bordered hand kerchief, as good as new, with his name on it. The deceased officer’s collar had in it a gold stud, and in his shirt front was a larger one set with a diamond star. The debris of a silver cigarette ease was in his pocket, and his gold watch and chain were on the ice near where the body was found. The justice of the peace, the mayor, a doctor an l the local gendarmes held an inquest over the remains, found after a lapse of more than thirty years, in the shadow of Mount lilanc. They will prob ably be buried at Chamounix. TELEGRAPHIC MARKETS.
