He said that in matters of this kind it hod often been the case that the new companies applied for charters simply for the purpose of having the Beil people buy them off, and for this reason it was nec essary to go slow in the matter and'in vestigate the responsibility of the new companies. <stmck n Vounii I.ndr.

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. TO 111: HUM) l\ IH RIilV, Soutli Gcnrsln Ilihlc Institute—Poli ties In Laurenß. Dublin. Ga . Aug. 28.—Rev. R. E.

( ollidou on the Outrnl—Macon Mien 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. SAD CASE OF PRKTTV WAI HOW.

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.

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 "lu eejtng tltU.
