Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen;
The telegraphic report received from
Brunswick Friday to the effect that a
strange vessel was seen Thursday morn
lng steaming out of St. Andrews sound,
and that shots were heard shortly after
ward is probably explained by the fact
that tho gunboat Nashville was seen
Thursday off the South Carolina coast by
the captain of the Algonquin. It is welt
known also that the crew of the Nash
ville is about as well and as often-drilled
us any other In the navy. The shots that
Were fired in St. Andrews sound were
most likely from the Nashville, and that
It was one of the regular drills, instead
of an effort to shoot a filibuster.
Eight negro stevedores, employed on the
Clyde wharf* at Jacksonville, were ar
rested Friday charged with breaking into
packages of freight and stealing articles
of wear and other things. The officials
of the steamship line had been at work
for a long time trying to apprehend the
perpetrators of the thefts, and it was only
by employing George Davis, colored, as
a laborer, with the understanding that
he was to get evidence against the guilty
parties, that they were finally arrested.
Davis worked several weeks, and kept an
account of the persons seen thieving, and
at the proper time he was arrested as a
thief and gave,the information gathered
to the police. Several of the negroes were
followed when they left the wharf, and
were caught or seen with the property in
their possession. Those arrested were:
George Davis, J. E. Le Grand, July Brown,
Isaac Evans, T. Brown, YV. C. Craxton,
Joe Robertson, and James Fleming.
Key West Dispatch, Oet. 15: Some time
ago James Johnson severely beat a.woman
and the case was sent to tho criminal
court. Before that court met, the case
was compromised by Johnson paying ex
penses and the doctor's bill for the wo
man, who was confined to her rooms for
some time, caused by the beating she re
ceived. Editor Walter Thompson of the
Key West Herald wrote up the assault,
and called the attention of the criminal
court to the affa'r when it convened. John,
son swore vengeance on the editor, and
after waiting about two weeks, assaulted
him in a concert hall last Saturday even
ing, striking him from behind and knock
ing him to the floor. Editor Thompson,
however, grabbed his assailant by the
throat and would have shot him, but some
of the bystanders took his pistol from his
pocket before he could get at It. Friends
of the editor who were present made
things warm for several minutes, and the
hall was cleared of the audience by the
doors and windows. The attack was a cow
ardly one, and the police immediately had
Johnson arrested, and he was fined S2O and
costs for resisting arrest, and using pro
fane language while being taken to jail.
The case of assault will go to the criminal
court.

THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTRY.
Some Fresh Items From Tliat Inter
esting Section of Florida.
Titusville, the long-established distribut
ing center for all points on the Indian
river, is gradually resuming its old-time
importance as such. This is mostly du?
to the re-establishment of river traffic by
steamer and sailing craft, which the
"freeze” for several years almost entire
ly suspended. Old industries are being re
vived and enlarged, and new ones Inaugu
rated.
The fisheries, which were all along of
of some importance, have been greatly en
larged. there are now over 2(H) people em
ployed In this enterprise, and a fleet of
some fifty boats, representing a capital
of many thousands of dollars. A sound
net plant is about being placed in position
in the ocean near the town, which is ex
pected to supply the cities of the south
with dally catches of bluefish, Spanish
mackerel, pompano, red snapper and
other deep-sea fish in unlimited quanti
ties.
A palmetto root tanning extract fac
tory has been established, which Is a suc
cess. The plant represents something like
SIOO,OOO and employs about fifty men. The
orange groves and vegetable plantations
close to the town are in flourishing condi
tion, and will greatly augment the gen
eral prosperity of this section. The "back
county” has a wide area, and embraces
thousands of acres of fertile land yet in
a primeval state; hut which is loginning
to attract the attention of sugar cane,
rice ami tobacco planters, as well as voge
table growers. Aside from the adapta
bility of this soil for the successful grow
ing of the crops named, the two railroads
and the steamboat lines afford the best
of transportation facilities, and the com
pel ition in the carrying traffic so essen
tial for fair freight rates to producers.
One of the carrying companies, the
Florida East Coast railway (H. M. Flag
ler system) has recently been mortgaged
for $7,250,000. This event has caused much
surprise, as It is generally understood that
the whole cost of the road did not ex
ceed $2,500,000. It Is Intimated by those
who have given this event some study
that the object is to forestall the newly
appointed railway commission in any at
tempt they might made to reduce what
our producers considered exorbiiant
freight charges. If It has this effect It is
predicted that the taxes will be Increased
on the company property to the extent
of this increased valuation ns in
dicated by the amount of the mortgage
The Indian river pineapple growers have
had a successful season, and are corre
spondingly happy. At the late meeting
of the Pineapple Growers’ Association at
Jensen it was demonstrated that the as
sociation alone had sell nearly a quarter
of a million dollars' worth of fruit, and
they had handled bu: half the crop. This
would show the total sales to be $500.09!).
The acreage on most of the plantations
is being more than doubled, so it will he
safe to figure that the crop within the
next two years will br : ng a return of over
$1,1X10,000. The placid waters of the beau
tiful river will be gay with private cruis
ing parties this winter. Contracts for
charter of pleasure yachts are already
being made, and some are now fitting out
at this place. The ship-yard of Capt.
Peter Nelson presents a busy scene in
consequence.
The Canaveral (Bateau Club, Commo
dore J. 1,. Lyman, will hold a regatta

naveral. The Gilbert’s Bar Yacht Club
will dedicate their new club house on the
Ist of November, upon which occasion a
gala time is anticipated. The membership
numbers nearly 100, representing not only
this country, but Canada and Europe. The
situation of the house is beautiful, hav

picturesque section whtre the Indian.

Several months ago, the Japanese Tea
Guild sent to this country a special com
mission, composed of Mr. S., Mitsuhashi,
president of Shizuoka prefectural assem
bly, and Mr. J. Ohara, member of Japan
ese parliament, to investigate the condi
tion of the Japanese tea trade in the
United States and Canada and to co-oper
ate with Mr. T. Furuya and Mr. T. Mizu
tany, the American representatives of the
Japanese Tea Guild, In giving publicity
to the merits of Japanese teas and the
method of preparing them for drinking
which would insure the best results.
Mr. Furuya and Mr. Mizutany are plan
ning to open tea bazars in many of the
principal cities in the United States and
Canada, where ladies can enjoy a cup of
fine Japanese tea made by experts, and
at the same time receive instructions
which will enable them to make It equal
ly well at home. More than half the tea
consumed in the United States and Cana
da is of Japanese growth, yet the major
ity of Americans apparently do not under
stand how to prepare it so as to develop
the delicious qualities which it contains.
It is believed by these gentlemen that,
when Americans are in possession of the
secret of making good tea. the consump
tion in this country will fully equal that
of Europe in proportion. The Japanese
government has appropriated a large fund
to aid the Japanese tea growers and tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work, and it is hoped that American la
dles will be apt students. The main bu
reau of the Japanese Tea Guild has is
sued an official recipe for making Japan
ese tea, the translation of which is as
follows:
First—Use a small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second—l’ut In one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup to tea desired.
Third—When using Japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes. Never boil tjie
leaves. In order to retain the natural
flavor. Japanese tea leaves should be kept
in tight can or jar, free from moisture.
Note.—To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

Saratoga Said to Have the Only Sup
ply >f tin* Kind in the World.
From the New York Sun.
Saratoga.—Four years ago workmen bor
ing for anew spring here were startled
when, 4:th a tremendous rush and roar,
dirt, sand and stones came flying up out
of the hole, but not a bit of water ap
peared. For three days no one would ap
proach the place, for, though the shower
of dirt and stones ceased, and no water,
in fact, nothing visible, appeared, the
rushing, roaring sound continued. This
was heard for miles, and resembled that
made by a number of locomotives all blow
ing off steam at once. At the end of
this time it was discovered that the noise
was caused by the rapid escape of natural
carbonic acid gas. The gas was brought
under control, and is now bottled for com
mercial purposes, and the well is the only
one of its kind In the world.
The bottling of gas for transportation la
somewhat different from the bottling of
liquid. The gas is sent through iron pipes
from the well to a condenser, where Ic
passes through a succession of other
pipes, each one in turn compressing it
>inoro than the last and depriving it of
more heat. At length, having reached a
pressure of a thousand pounds to the
square inch, It is forced into iron cylinders
about six Inches In diameter, and some
whot more than four feet in hlght. It is
now of a consistency that would seem to
he a compromise between water and gly
cerine, with the bluish cast of ordinary
gas. In these cylinders or iron bottles. It
is ready for transportation.
An interesting way in which to see the
gas is to pour some of it from one of the
cylinders, at the same time converting it
into a solid. This is done by wrapping
heavy cloths round the mouth of the
cylinder when the top is unscrewed, thus
preventing the too rapid escape of the
gas into the air. But as the water expands
when it is converted into ice, so the rapid
expansion of the gas, already deprived of
its heat, causes it to freeze and on open,
ing the cloth there is found dry carbonic
acid gas converted into a solid as white
as snow, with the sparkle of crystals and
a temperature of 78 degrees below zero
When taken in the hand, it has the feel
ing of burning coals, and if kept there, will
quickly draw sufficient heat from the
hand to blister it. As fast as it does draw
heat from the atmosphere or any object
with which it comes in contact, it passes
off as gas, leaving a handerchief, or the
most delicate object on which it may hav*
been placed, perfectly dry.
Since the opening of the well the de
mand for the gas has been greater thar.
the supply, which Is limited. As yet the
greatest demand for it is for use in sod*
water fountains, but it has also found its
way into other departments of life. It is
being used in the hospitals in surgical
cases, and it is taking the place of yeast
in the bakeries, while experiments that
promise success are being made to prove
that by means of It fruit may be preserv
ed indefinitely In its natural state.
Advertising' Physicians,
From the Chicago Tribune.
A statement made in a news article a
feiv days ago that "medical advertising is
barred by Jaw,” is so erroneous as to re
quire correction. In 1888 this matter was
fought out in the courts of Illinois, and
the appellate court refused to revoke a
certificate to practice medicine granted by
the state board of health, which the board
sought to annul on the ground of "unpro
fessional conduct.” citing advertising ns
unprofessional. The court, in effect, held
that advertising on the part of a physi
ciun was not only legal but professional.
