A startling condition confronts the city lit the present time. It Is the announce ment that the Tampa Board of Public Works has no legal existence. This, of tcourse, means that the actions of the j .board have been, for a certain term, ille gal and null and void, which covers the [expenditure, perhaps, of large sums of •money. The board was created for the of carrying on the public works lef the city, Including the paving and sew erage. The body is composed of W. R. iHendereon. president; J. B. Anderson, .George T. Chamberlain and R. F. Webb, : and they have been holding office for some tUrna. Itjen Skipped Out, s A special to the Morning News, told of *the arrest of Henry Itjen and five negroes accused of stealing brasses from the rail roads at Jacksonville. Itjen was released on 3200 bail. When the case was called up to-day he. was among the missing, having skipped out betwixt night and idewn His ball was declared forfeited, •nd a warrant was at once issued for him. jThree of the negroes under arrest were released for lack of evidence, but the •earch Is going on. and the officers sav jthey will have tha entire gang behind the [bars before many days. The losses to the ,rsllroads have been great, and they have ;been very anxious to catch and convict ,the thieves. I May Lose Hl* Sent, l Jacksonville's City Council is always full ‘of surprises and changes, In fact It 'wouldn't be Jacksonville If something of Jthe kind wasn't on the tapis every lit: lo twhlle. This time it Is the unlooked for absence of Aldermen Stansell that has stirred up the waters. It will be remem >be red that Stansell and Editor Williams bad a shooting scrape some time ago, from ■ which both recovered, to all appearance. ißut It seems that Stansell's wound was imore serious than at first thought, and ,be hasn't fully recovered yer. It has deft a nervous affection that is very dis quieting to him. atansell left the city the icther day auddenly and without the per mlaslon of the Council. Now the city fatn • era aay that this creates a vacancy, and already they are talking of candidates ready to take tils place. It will require ,a reorganisation of the committees as Stansell was on a number. Altogether. It Is rather a warm subject for this hot ■rcatber, and has created much comment.

Brunswick, Ga., June 30.—The Republi can leaders representing the State. Dis trict and County Executive Committees met to-day and filed a strong protest against the appointment of C. L. Elliott as assistant postmaster for Brunswick by Postmaster Brown. Elliott.s appoint ment wax made by Brown several days ago. and it came in the nature of a great surprise to * lie party leaders. Brown bad announced his intention of not assuming he reins of offi ;e until July 1. and the party men who had strongly in dors'd him believed that he would consult them before naming his assistant. They had several names to present for eon-: i eration. and these were handed in to-da \ but various objections were made to ea-h of the names propped to Brown by the leaders, and the commute, composed of t nairman T. R. Belcher of the Eleventh District Committee, Chairman M>e-’ Saw yer of the County Executive, and Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue W. H. Mat thews withdrew temporarily from Brown’s presence to consult as to the next move. The obje tions of the Baders to EiliOtt, however, were based upon grounds con cerning th** eligibility of the proposed as ,sis*ant to any claim to Republicanism, and Republicans claim That ih y do not reccgnize El'iott as one of them, and w uli fight his appontment further and make it an issue. They f el that the Re publican party and persons who a:e re sj nsible tor Brown’s appointment have been treat'd badly from a political stand point, and they will push their protest against Elliott with all vigor. Brown is a strong i arty mnn and stated ‘that in mak ing the a pDiniment he believed it was fo~ the best interest of the party and th a rvice. WEDDING AT VALDOSTA* Arrest of n Negro Believed to He Wanted in Snmnnnli. Valdosta, Ga., June 30.—One of the prettiest home weddings of the season was that of Mr. Walter Beall to Miss Kate Talley at the residence of Dr. H. M. Tal ley on Thursday evening. The event was witnessed by the relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties and the ceremony was performed by Rev. O. B. Chester, of the Methodist church. After the ceremony a delightful recep tion was tendered the happy couple and they left by the first train for Alabama to spend some time with relatives of the groom. They are among the most pop ular young people here. A negro giving his name as William Young was arrested here this week and soon after his arrest the officer noticed him trying to destroy a letter which ho had in his pocket. The officer took the letter and read it. It was from a woman in Savannah, and -was cautioning him to stay away from that city, as the officers were on the look-out for him. It seemed from the letter that the negro had com mitted some crime in Savannah and was a fugitive. He was held here to hear from the officials there. David M. Mathis, a white farmer liv ing near Cat Creek, was bitten by a rat tlesnake Thursday, and came near dy ing from the effects of the wound. The snake’s fangs went through his shoe, and this fact is believed to have saved his life. HAS CARRIER PIGEONS, Two Coop* of the Hlrrln Are Held In Way cross.

Jones, Adjutant General Jack < liinu Scored for lias Declaration About a < onfed erate Veteran'* Ila<le —Negroes in file Confederate Army. Pine Crest Villa. Maitland, Fla.. June 30. —The war in China i.' bringing into no tice the brave did humane action of Com modore Josiah Tartnu!!, I*, rf. N., at Pia Ho in 18C3, when he so nobly il lustrated the humane centime.it that •*blo->d is thicker then water.’ The same sentiment ic to-day being illustrated by the combined Powers in the relief of their countrymen from Chinese atrocities. But the heroic Tattnall c ted upon his own impulses and without authority, so that to him alouo belongs t rie glory of his ifu mane action. Time has not dimmed the lustre g: his fame as a great naval com -nnander and a true* American citizen, and to-day, in the midst of the bloody and ex citing s*-er.vs in China, with which all na tion.- are interested and ate making a common defense, the a lion of Commo dore Tattnall in that far-off period is freshened in the memories of a grateful and patriotic people, and the pens of gift ed writers are again •’•ommending the valor and humanity of (B orgia’s illustrious son. By a critical examination of the Confed eral e records I iind that the appointment of Henry T. EJl* a. Postmaster General was made, but he do .ined, and therefore Postmaster General John H. Reagan, as 1 stated, was the only person who really filled that office. 1 also discovered that Gen. William M. Browne, who died as processor i:i the University of Georgia at Athens, was “ad interim” Secretary of Suite from Feb. 17. 1862, to March 18, 3862; and Gen. Gustavus W. Smith, so promi nent in Georgia military movements, was temporary Secretary of War from Nov. 17. 1862, to Nov. 21, 1862, when J. A. Seddon came into office. The Provisional Congress gave to the Confederal' army a host of gallant crals—Robert Toombs, Thomas Pt. R. Cobb, J. Patton Anderson, Francis S. Bar tow. Howell Cobb, George B. Hodge, John B. Clark. Roger A. Pryor and Thomas N. Waul. The First Congress sent U. J. G ir trell, M. la. Bonham. William Fm th ‘and John Pi. Chambliss*. The Second Congress, I think, only added Humphrey Marshall to the list. Several generals went into the service from the cabinet and the executive department and served with distinction. Alabama's Progress. While listening to Gen. Dan Sickles’ re markable statements as to Alabama’s pres ent and future greatness, as a cool, iron and manufacturing state, in his pair.oiic address befote the Society of the Army of the. Potoma- , at Fredericksburg, Va., in May, P recalled the eloquent end prophetic words of my dear old ft lend, the late PPon. Henry W. Hilliard, addressed to his con stituents in Alartima (Dec. 3, 1850) on his retirement from Congress. According to Gen. Sickles’ startling array of figures, Alabama has already surpassed the fond est dreams that Col. Hilliard ever enter tained of her future greatness. "IyR us,” said the retiring Congressman, “cultivate a patriotism large enough to embrace our whole country. Let us hope that our rights will be respected by the other states of the Union. Let us forbear any hostile ac'ts on our own part. I cer tainly desire to see in the midst of the great agricultural region of the South a varied industry, which shall rival that of the North, and which shall spread over our fertile plains all the embellishments which wealth and a high civilization can bestow. I desire, too, to see a direct trade with foreign countries carried on through Southern ports. But I desire to see all this brought .about hv the enterprise and the energy of our people, entering into a bold and generous competition with those of the other states. We should seek to make Alabama a great and wealthy state, and we can do this by the vigorous devel opment of our resources.” Adjutants General. An interested and critical reader, in Sa vannah, of these articles, informs me in a kindly' spirit that my reference to Gen. Prenzo Thoman as adjutant general of the army was misleading. This grow'? out of the fact that P simply lumped the en tire service of this venerable officer, and failed to state when he became adjutant general. This occurred in March, 1861, he having previously, for nearly ten years, been, an assistant adjutant general. The first really permanent adjutant general was Capt. Roger Jones, of the Third Ar tillery, who w’as appointed under his brevet rank of colonel “for ten years faithful service in one grade.” Qapt. Jones entered the army In 1812, from Vir ginia, in the Third Artillery, and his brevet of major came for “distinguished service” at the battle of Chippewa, and ♦ hat of lieutenant colonel, for “gallant conduct” at Fort Erie. In those early days the adjutant general’s deportment was filled by details from the line, but Col. Jones proved to be so valuable to the army in that position, that in 1835, he gave up his commission as lieutenant col onel of the Fourth Artillery, and became, in fact, as in title, the adjutant general of the army, the duties of which office he had performed under detail for ten years. Hie brevets of brigadier general and major general were won by gallant conduct in the field, and long and faith fpi service in whatever station placed. Col. Jones died in office on July 15. 1852. Qn w r hich day' Maj. Lorenzo - Thomas was promoted to be lieutenant colonel in the department, and issued the general order announcing the death of Gen. Jones. It was not until 3861 that the rank of brig adier general was conferred upon an ad jutant general; but no officer in later years has given that department better service than Col. Jones rendered during nearly thirty years of his army life. .luck cliiim'* DoaMt. Sometime npo I had occasion to refer to the notorious Col. Jack Chinn of Ken tucky, who boasted that he wore a Con federate Veteran badge, "lhat no damn nigger can wear.” The presence of a col ored Confederate Veteran in a roller chair at the Charleston Reunion, was a llttlng rebuke to that profane boast. Hut Capt. "Tip" Harrison of Atlanta, says: Col, Jack Chinn was conspiclous at the Louisville Reunion, and repeated his pro fane boast with great gusto. And yet there were two brave colored Confederate Veterans present at that reunion as del egates, and the "Lost Cause,” a Can federate monthly of that city, edited by the wife of Gen. Basil W. Duke, who is a sister of Gen. John H. Morgan, pays a generous tribute to the fidelity and cour age of these colored Confederates, But It remains for men of such low instincts as characterize Jack Chinn to call them "damn niggers" and assert but without truth—that they can't wear a Confed erate Veteran's button. Let us go back to the old days of 1865, when slaves were to he pm into the Confederate Army as soldiers in great numbers, and see how patriotic they were. Dr. F. W. Hancock, surgeon in charge of the headquarters at Jackson Hospital, under dale of Feb. 14, 1865, made this re port to Liet. Gen. R. S. Ewell: "For my own gratification, as well as those who are taking a great Interest in the Import ant question, with regard to the using of the slaves of the Confederacy as an as sisting element to us in defending our homes, firesides, and country from those who would destroy us, I would respectful ly say that this morning I caused the hired male slaves at this hospital to be convened, and after asking them the de liberate question, if they would be willing to take up arms to protect their masters’ I families, homes, and their own from an I attacking foe, sixty out of seventy-two re sponded they Would volunteer to go to the trenches and fight the enemy to the bitter end.” While it is true that there was a strong oppos:* ion. headed by President Davis and many leading officials, to enlisting negro so*diers in the Confederate army at first, yet that oppoMtion melted away before a stern necessity for more men in the field, and just as the Confederacy went to pieces a movement was completed to fill up the depleted ranks of the army with negro soldiers. On March 15. the Forty-ninth Georgia, camped near Peters burg, Va asked permission to do ihia thing, end th*ir appeal was indorsed by Gen. F. L. Thomas, Gen. C. M Wilcox. Gen. Harry -Heath and Gen. R. E. Lee. but the . lose of thr- war prevented its be ing granted. Maj. Mark Newman of 6an dersville, but formerly of Savannah, and one of the bravest and best of Confederate soldiers, was then adjutant of the regi ment, and through his patriotic zeal the original petition was saved and is now preserved in the archives of the state Sidney Herbert. LOSS OF A RESIDENCE. Other New Reported of Thing;* and Person* In Tennille. Tennille, Ga.. June 30.—Early this morn ing the residence and outhouses of Mr. Lee Jordan on Adams street were de stroyed by fire. The loss is about 51.3-0. with partial insurance. The fire I? thought to have originated from a defective stove flue. T- nnille will have a large new brick cotton warehouse erected in time for the beginning of the cotton season. This will give Tennille two commodious ware houses. Secretary J C. Harman of the Tennille Institu'e, has in preparation a handsome illustrated descriptive catalogue of his school. The owners of the property on which the Taylor Hotel stood, opposite the Cen tral passenger depot, contemplate erect ing a handsome brick boiel and several stores. It is one of the most valuable piec s of property in the c tv, and the ction of some handsome buildings will add greatly to the app arance of the street. Large quantities of peaches are being shipped from Tennille The growers seem to be pleased wi-h the pries ob;ained so far. Mr. W. E Vinson has moved his fanvlv back to Savannah, where they will reside in the future. Miss Daisy Browne of Savannah Is vis iting relatives here. Mrs. John Todd of Savannah was in the city vest rday en route to Irwinton,where she will visit her parents. A bridge on the Wrightsville and Ten ni.le Railroad was discovered on fire early Wednesday morning About forty feet of stringer were burned,, and it was very fortunate that it was discovered before a train came, as it is a very high trestle, and had a train passed a fearful accident could not have b en averted. REPUBLICAN'S AY ILL MEET. Florida Committee Has Been Called to Meet at Ocala. Tallahassee, Fla., June 29.—The Republi can Committee has been called by its chairman, Hon. W. G. Robinson, of the general land office of Gainesville, to meet in Ocala on July 17, and select a slate to present to the convention, which has been called to reconvene in Ocala on July 19. It is said by leading Republicans that a full ticket for state offices will certain ly be placed before the people by the re convened convention. It is regarded as very significant that a call has been issued for a state conven tion of Populists, to be held in Ocala on July 17. The identity of place and time chosen by the Republicans and Populists leads to open talk of expected fusion. Whether this will develop into anything tangible remains to be seen, but an un usual reticence to talk about the matter is notk’eable among both Republicans and Populists. While it is felt in some eminently re spectable Democratic quarters that the platform adopted by the recent state con vention contains some serious mistakes and is likely to cause trouble in the fu ture, no Democrat seems to have any fear about the election of the entire ticket by overwhelming majorities. There is no criticism anywhere in Democratic ranks of the ticket. PLE.VSED AVITH COHIdIL. His Speech on Negro Day at the Fair Greatly Praised. Brunswick, Ga., June 30.—Negro Day at the fair was one of the largeet of the week, and Prof. W. H. Council of Nor mal. Ala., the noted orator of the day, was greeted by an immense throng of both white and colored people. He was intro duced by Chairman Belcher of the Re publican District Committee, and made one of the most eloquent and scholarly ad dresses ever heard by a Southern audi ence. Council’s fame as an orator had preceded him. yet his powers of expres sion and depth of thought moved his audi ence to the greatest wonder. He held the spell-bound attention of all for nearly two hours, and ewept the crowd with varying feelings of emotion and laughter by his eloquence and delivery. Nothing *ke Council’s address had ever been heard here before, and the many ladies in the vast audience enjoyed it thoroughly. That he easily ranks with Booker Washington as an orator and thinker, is the general opinion of those who heard him to-day. INTERESTED LADIES. Working In a Good Cnn*e. "In the institution where I am employ ed as nurse (the Home for Aged Women) we find many ladies suffering from gas tric trouble caused by coffee. My own personal experience le that since a child I have been a moderate dr.nker of cofree but most of the latter years have suffered fr-m acidl y of the sumach, sluggish liver and nervousness. I finally gave up coffee entirely, about three years ago, using hot water In Its place. Of course, alter removing th* cause, the symptoms disappeared, but I seemed to ne and a beverage more strength ening than hot water, as my occupation of nurse required considerable exertion. I b gan to lo k about for a suitable break fast beverage and undertook the pr pa ra tion of one by browning some wheat ber riand using that as coffee, but the re sult was far from satisfactory. Finally I cam- across Postum Food Coffee, on a visit at, my home in Roselle, N.

CONVENTION WILL NOT HAVE THE GOLD DEMOCRATS. Cleveland, Whitney, Lamont, Smith, Gray, Carlisle, Vila*. Dickinson, Palmer and Othrr Gold Standurd Men Will Not Give Counsel —At Former Convention* They Were Power*—A Cot-and-Drled Conven tion Looked for. Washington, June 30— In the assem bling of the Democratic hosts at Kansas City next week no provision has been made for the gold Democrats who have heretofore figured conspicuously in the party councils. In the coming campaign Mr. Bryan and hts followers will miss the advice and support of the political leaders who did so much to give the country the only Democratic administration It has had during a period covering nearly forty years. Indeed the go and Democrats appear to be entirely eliminated. When the Democratic muster roll is call ed, the names of CDveland, Whitney. La mont, Smith of New Jersey, Gray of Del aware, Carlisle, Vilas, Don Dickinson, Palmier of Illinois, Lindsay and other Democratic followers of the gold standarl will be missed. During rec<nt year, these gentlemen have figured conspicuously in national conventions, and the weight of experience and power they carried with them on the floor of the conventlon~will be missed. In reviewing the roster of Democratic generals who will be in command of the forces In Kansas City, it Is impossible to flrd the superior of the crafy Don D ok lnson whose magnificent work on the floor of the convention in support of Grover Cleveland will never be forgotten bv those who attended the three conventions which nominated Cleveland for the presidency. While other so-called leaders were dash ing madly around among 'he delegates in a manner that rendered them officious without being affective, men like Whit ney, Lamont and Dickinson quietly, but successfully.kept their force* well In hand and prevented the capture ef their posi tions by a force which at limes appar ently outnumbered them. It was the su perior generalship of Dickinson, Vila*. Lament. Whitney and Gray which pre vented the routing of the Cleveland forces In '92. Cleveland Seldom Mentioned. Cleveland is seldom mentioned In Demo cratic society except In spirit of oon demnaiion and contempt, but nevertheless Conservative and common-eense members of the party continue to revere his name In spite of the denunciation heaped upon him. Although the gold Democrats are not expected to dieregard the r early teach ings in the school of practical politics and vote for McKinley, it Is hardly reasonable to look to them to pull off their coats and battle enthusiastically to promote the free coinage of sliver, Old campaigners recall with admiration (he dignified and skitful methods employed by that great political chieftain William C.
