was opposed to two systems, as a rule,
unless satisfactory arrangements could he
mode for the harmonious operation of
both. He said that in matters of this kind
it hod often been the case that the new

the purpose of having the Beil people buy
them off, and for this reason it was nec

A special to the Florida Times-Union
and Citizen from Ocala, says: Flitcher
Harrod *is a much-sought man. because
he did several very reprehensible things
that will r.ot bear the scrutiny of the
law. Horrod was a painter by trade. He
was a guest at the Carlton House, where
he ingratiated h mself in the good will of
the landlady and a lady hoarder. The
latter entrusted to him several valuable
rings, which Harrod disported! on his
finger.*. The landlady credited several
weeks' board and intrusted him with a
$lO bill to have changed up town. Har
rod returned to the house without mak
ing any mention of the bill, and in time 3 ,
tv hen questioned about it. said he hid
suddenly become so indisposed that he
asked a friend to get the change for him,
but would see she got it later, at whDh
time, darkness having spread itself over
the earth, Harrcd took hhs belongings
and was not Been of men or women in
Ocala. Harrod is a man of 30 years, and
it is claimed has a family in Georgia. The
officers are on- the lookout for him.
Should Itrinu $2 a Hoi.
Tampa Daily Herald: Many of the
leading orange growers of this section of
the state are with the idea
that more or less systematic efforts arc
being made to reduce the price to be paid
for the fruit the coming season. The
growers sav there is no reason why the
price should be reduced below $2 per box.
Notwithstanding the reports of a greatly
increased yield, the crop will still fail
far short of the demand. It is said. too.
that these reports are being much exag
gerated, with a possible view to their
effect upon the holders of fruit. The
quality of the crop bids fair to be the i
finest for years, or.d the growers are de
termined' to hold out resolutely for the
price of lost season, if the buyers de
cline to offer this price at the beginning
of the season the growers wall combine
to handle their own product. A. M.
O’Quinn of the. West Coast has already
made arrangement with a Northern house
to handle eight or ten thousand boxes at
figures that will be equivalent to $2 <vi
the trees. Those buyers who are holding
back with the expectation that they will
be able to buy ax n lower figure will find
they have made a mistake.
Snatched n Pockethook.
Saturday evening Miss Argneda Rod
rigtics# wan on her way to the depot at
Tampa, to take the train for Port Tampa,
it,tending to embark for Key West. While
walking along Kighth avenue, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, two ne
gro boys came up and walked beside her
for a few steps. All at once one of them
sratehed her poeketbopk and l>oth ran
westward along Eighth avenue. The book
contained ticket to Key West and
more than twenty dollar* in money. The
negroes had made a rather good haul and
the robbery was a bolft one. The alarm
was at once given and in about fifteen
minutes. Policeman Blount had James
Turner, a colored youth, under arrest,
charged with being one *f the thieves.
He was arrested on Eighth avenue, an 1
right there on the ground was found the
pocketbook. The two boys were seen Oj
they ran up Eighth avenue, and crossed
to the north side of the street. One of
them, being in the lead, recrossed to th**
south side, and about the time he reach'll
the sidewalk he was caught and the pock
etbook found. He admitted being with the
other boy. but claimed the other fellow
snatched the book.

Will >1 ine in Honduras.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 28.—Doc Daley died
late last night and wras buried here this
afternoon.
The remains of J. H. Grlmsley, who
was reared in Cochran, were brought here
from Moultrie to-day and shipped to East
man for interment. He had killed him
self by taking morphine. He formerly
lived in Macon, clerking for the Dannen
burg Company, and married a Miss Head,
a niece of Ranker J. W. Cabaniss. He
had frequently stated that he would some
day take his own life.
Meredith McCia, aged 66, died here to
night. He leawlr nine children. Paraly
sis was the trouble.
Seaborn Davis, a negro car coupler, lost
his footing this morning and fell while
trying to make a coupling in the Central
Railroad yards. He was instantly crush
ed to death r>y the moving train.
A h* ad end collision occurred this after
noon between a Central Railroad freight
train and a dirt train, which had been
filling in the Shamrock street cut, at the
College street crossing. Three negroes
were injured and the dirt train’s engine
and ono % of the flat cars were completely
demolished. The other portion of the dirt
train was broken loose and shoved with
such force that it rolled a mile down the
track and finally stopped at the junction.
The freight crew escaped. Henry Tuft,
John Whipple and Ale. Sims were the in
jured negroes.
A flagman had been sent up the road to
stop the freight at the Vineville station.
He was taken up by fhc freight, but the
engineer did not understand him to say
rhat the dirt train was so near. A police
man warned the dirt train's crew that the
freight was approaching, but they
thought 14. would be stopped by the flag
man.
Thomas W. Troy and his associates here
have socured a large sum of money and
will return to Honduras on Sept. 10 to
mine for gold an V silver in some of the
rich mines they recently discovered there.
GENERAL LEE'S DEATH MASK.
Reported Finding of One Believed to
He an Error.
From the Baltimore American.
Lexington, Vn., Aug. 26.—A dispatch
sent out from Washington a few weeks
ago to a Chicago paper stating that the
death mask of Gen. Robert E. Lee. taken
by Clark Mills, was recently found in the
Corcoran Art Gallery, of Washington, is
erroneous, as far as con be ascertained
here, where Gen. Lee, as president of
Washington and Lee University, spent the
closing years of h : .& life. Prof. A. L. Nel
son. of the university, and M.Miley, a pho
tographer of Lexington, both of whom
knew the Southern hero personally and
were thrown with him frequently, say
that, us well as they recall the incident,
Mr. Mills was not in Lexington at the
time of Gen. Lee’s death. His visit was
made here several years previous to that
lime, probably in the fail of 1867, when
he made a cast of Gen. Lee’s face. Mr.
Mills, in talking to Mr. Miley at the time,
said that he used anew process just
brought to this country from Europe by
his son, which process he claimed to be
greatly superior to the plaster process.
The new process was put on the lace like
lather, and gave better results. It made
n thin mask and was easily removed
from the face. Mr. Mills procured of Mr.
Miley a number of Gen.‘Lee’s pictures to
he used in modeling, as he wished to get
a great variety of facial expressions. Mr.
Mills wrote to Mr. Miley after h-s return
to Washington and requetsed the latter
to handle the life-size busts of Gen. Lee
which he was at that time prepared to
make. After this correspondence Mr.
Miley never heard from Mr. Mills, nor did
he ever hear what became of the mask.
Persons here in a position to know say
that no mask was ever made of Gen. Lee
after his death.
CROWDS FLOCK TO SEE GHOSTS.
N'iglltly Wes* KfnsinKtOD Scene nf
Mixed Credulity anil Curiosity.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
London. Aug. 25.—Creduitty, mixed with
curiosity, has drawn immense crowds
nightly around an old house in the fash
ionable district of West Kensington, which
for nearly a century and a half hos been
supposed to be haunted. It is strange
what multitudes of superstitious people
there are in the enlightened nineteenth, or
twentieth, century, whichever people like
to call it. but nine out of every ten people
you meet will solemnly affirm that this
West Kensington ghost is the real thing.
There are many who will tell you they
have beheld the historic spook.
So great, in fact, are the nightly crowds
that a strong force of police is necessary
to keep the crowd within bounds. It is
not that they are quite anxious to see
anything horrible, but they don't want to
miss it, that's all.
Since the historic Cock Lane ghost af
fair in 1762 history records no such popu
lar excitement over anything supernat
ural in London. A,i London aristocracy
was interested in that old ghost fraud,
tvhlch lasted nearly two months, and It
took all the reasoning power ond ocu
lar demonstration of the famous Dr. John
son and other serious mlr.ded men of his
time to prove the ghost's non-existence
and to pur a stop to the excitement, which
was working- serious havoc upon the
minds of the people of London.
Whether this ghost will live so long it
is hard o tell. For the present there is
no lull in the interest aroused.

BIARIXE INTELLIGENCE.
Matter* of Tntere*t to Shipping Men
Generally.
The British bark, Ramonda, arrived yes
terday from Cape Town. She will load
with naval stores.
The American bar, Essex. Capt. Smith,
arrived yesterday from quarantine. She
will load with lumber for Baltimore for
Huntig & Cos.
One of the ocean steamship offices in
lower Broadway is, like many others, be
sieged daily with questions as to the ex
pected arrival or the probable where
abouts at sea of its numerous vessels.
This officer, says a New York letter to
the Minneapolis Journal, unlike others,
has always ready an answer that even
the passing Broadway crowd may see and
understand. In place of a screen
at one of the great windows, there Is
hung an ocean chart, in which a baby
blue sea and some brick-red terra firma
are separated by heavy black lines, sig
nificant of nothing if not of -wrecks, but
innocently intended here to define the
shores of Europe and America. Across the
expanse of painted ocean are strung two
parallel wires, bipding continent to conti
nent in no mere rhetorical sense. At fre
quent intervals along the wires’ course
there are perched little painted ships.
These are not impossible vessels, ve< in
several cases they possess some salient
feature or design to identify them with
conspicuous ships of the company’s for
eign service. In other instances, minia
ture pennants furnish the familiar names.
Here the friends of voyagers may be seen
in varying groups at any hour of the day,
and a glance is enougK to furnish some
knowledge of <hose whose arrival at home
or abroad they await impatiently. The
simple window' chart tells all that the
company knows, and the saving of time
and temper for the office staff indoors is
the deserved reward of ingenuity.

Had a Chautauqua Debate About Ex
pansion in Maryland.
Mountain Lake Park, Md., Aug. 28. —
The. feature of to-day at the Mountain
Chautauqua was the joint debate on ex
pansion, between Congressman Champ
Clark of Missouri, and Congressman
Charles Grosvenor of Ohio.
Mr. C'l3rk said that, under the leader
ship of McKinley, Grosvenor and others,
we, as a country, fall from a high stole,
and become lend grabbers. He compared
imperialism with the fruits of a tree.
These fruits were, he said, the sacrifice
of lives, the destruction of freedom of
thought, speech and press, and polygamy.
Imperialism had, up to this time, cost
the people of this country $181,000,000 per
year, that is, in fighting the Filipinos.
Mr. Qrosvenor said that imperialism
was nothing more than a dream, and what
the boys called a "pipe dream,” and Mr
Bryan had had that sort of a dream. The
real issue of the day was 16 to 1. He
said that, by the treaty with Spain, the
United States acquired its first territory,
and every question of imperialism was
settled by that treaty. The whole Issue
now agitating the minds of the people
i (ould have been averted by the votes of
eighteen Democratic senators at the last
sesision of Congress, and Mr. Bryan urged
upon the Democratic members to vote for
the ratification of the treaty when he
j thought it would be defeated.
He asked the audience what act of tho
RepubUrra party had indicated in perial
j ism. This he answered by saying there
j was none; but that It was only a
| scheme got up by a man like Mr. Bryan
ito create excitement. When the trouble
arose with the Boxers the American sol
diers stationed at Manila, on what they
call imperial soil, were the first to sail
j for China.
Mr. Clark answered Mr. Grosvenor in a
' fifteen-minutes' speech and asserted that
; Mr. Grosvenor had not answered one of
his points in reference to imperialism.
WAS AGAIXST STEVENSON.
Washburn Thought Tonne Should
Never Have Declinl-d.
Chicago, Aug. 25.—11 l commenting on
the action of the National Committee of
the People's party in nominating Mr.
I Stevenson yesterday as its vice presiden
! tia'l candidate, to fill the vacancy caused
by the declination of Mr. Towne, Mr.
George F. Washburn, the treasurer of
the National Committee, said to-day:
"I opposed the nomination of Stevenson,
because I believed the rank and file of
the party was opposed to it. I favored
the nomination of a Populist, who would
stay with us until the polls closed;‘or
else take no action on the declinatioh of
Towne.
"When Towne allowed his name to be
presented to our convention as a candi
date for nomination, it was equivalent to
an acceptance to it. Furthermore, his
ft lends tledg-d us in the convention that
he would remain in the fit id If nominated.
Had there been the least suspicion that
he would rot have remain'd in the Ibid,
he would not hav.- hi-n nominated; there
fore, I deny his moral right to withdraw
without our consent, after using nur nom
ination In trying to secure another. I be
lieve the l>esi way to hold the Populist
vote for Bryan is to keep faith with our
ccnstltueuts.
''Had our National convention been In
session, instead of our committee It
would certainly have nominated u Popu
list. Mr. Btevenson was not nominated
hy ncclamnjlr.n a* reported, but by a ma
jority vote. Notwl'hatandlng th* local
conditions and embarrassments caused
hy this action, I appeal to Populists
everywhere to work earnestly,
e'.th unresting vigor, for th* *>Alon of
Mr, Bryan He ls til* gr*tst reform
‘Tueader of this age, and his election must
b* assured
