Barnes, of the Atlanta police force, is much distressed over the fact that his wife has become a member of the Salvation Army.

At Vienna the trial of Crof Lindsay for the killing of his cousin, James M. Lindsay, began in the Superior Court Thursday morning, and the whole of that dav was consumed in getting a jury and opening the case.

His poverty may be im agined when we state thajt his worldly pos sessions were easily loaded on an ox cart. Ho settled at John’s (’ass, went to work imme diately. and has been hard at. it ever since.

The law of 1880, which prohibits Chinese immigration, does not affect their cose, as they came here tiefore 18 Hi and took out papers. All of the three are members of the Presbyterian church of St. Augustine, and have property there to the value of sev eral thousand dollars. The place at San Mateo formerly owned by C. ]’. Bromley, of Rochester, N. Y., has recently passed Into tho hands of William Bancroft, of Hopednlo, Mass.

George W Mitchell, the foreman of the Palatka liaily .Veins, wag thrown into a contemplative mood the other day by a st range occurrence. Als i tit seven \ cars :ig * be was traveling in Mexico, and while oi t walking one day he saw something on the ground that, excited his curiosity, and stooped down to p'ck it tip. While thus p ooping or sitting on one knee he lost Ids balaueo and fell over against a eactus, run ning oue of the thorns into the ealf of Ins leg. He tried to pull it out, but did no! succeed, and when ne got up, a- it hint stuck into a nm ole, it had a linn hold, end was drawn in through t he skin and disappeared. For u week after that the only inconven ience was a little soreness In the wound, and two or time years after. Mr. Mitchell <nid ho felt ns If lie had rheumutism in ilmt log. Last Saturday a sore place was felt on his chin—siitiet ung like a boil, though not quite so painful. Still it was enough to annoy Idin, and he kept working at the place, as one w.ll, until lie felt a sharp point protruding. He tried shverni wavs or ascer taining want it was, and finally resorted to the old-fashioned way of squeezing the place until the point came out and about tliroe-qunrtors of an inch of the old cuetus thorn.

About April 28 tnero was received by Bradford Bros., of Lake Worth, and by them posted in their store where the farm ers of the district would and did road it, a telegram from Jacksonville, worded as tol -1 nvs: ‘‘l can receive no more tomatoes. Board of Health. A. Davidson.” Sup posing naturally that the telegram was authorized by the Board of iloaltu, and that their tomatoes would not be received, the farmers lost about 300 bushels of to matoes, which were already picked and packed for shipment by the Mary 8., Capt. IT. D. Hendrickson, and at least 300 bushels more, which they would have shipped by this same schooner. Capt. Hendrickson, who was about, ready to sail, lost the freight on 600 bushels of tomatoes, at 50c. a bushel, and 5 per cent, commission on the sale of the produce. The captain says that there were fully I,OOJ bushels of tomatoes ready to bo flicked when he left, and hundreds of bushels maturing daily, all of which will b lost to the growers '#■ til liis return. Capt. Hendrickson brought thirty bushels with him, which he disposed of at a very low price, supposing that bo would not lie allowed to tiring their, iuto the city. On his arrival he went to Mr. Davidson, the commission mer chant, to get at tho facts in the case, and was informed by him that In spector Watson hud issued the order on which his telegram was based. The Captain then saw Dr. Ken worthy, City Physfcnn, who Raid that no such order bad been au thorized, and expressed considerable in dignation that any one should have as sumed such authority. Dr. Neal Mitchell was also very indignant at tho un warranted dictum of the inspector, in thus cutting off the supply of one of the most healthful vegetables, and causing the loss to the growers of the product of ten days in the height of the season, amounting to thou sands of bushels. FLORIDA’S SHIP CANAL An Intervlow With General Anderson as to Lis Plans. Interlaehen (Fla.) Corresyi wdence Jacksonville Times- Union. Gen. C. L. Anderson, General Manager of tho proposed great “Ocean and Gulf Ship Canal,” spent yesterday in Interlaehen, while liis engineers were running the hue about a mile south of our town. The sur vey is rapidly reaching tho St. John’s river terminus, a short distance north of Palatka. In brtof, the route is about as follows: Beginning at Way Key or Cellar Koy it passes through tho Gulf hammock, via Williston, Micanopy, north of Orange Lake, running east between the Ocklawaha river and the Florida Southern railroad, crossing this railroad at Francis and reaching tho St. John's river below l’alatka. Gen. Anderson says he docs not expect to have any locks in this canal; that it will bo eighty feet wide, and have a depth of water equal to that on the bar at the mouth of tho St. John’s river, and will carry the cereals of tho entire Mississippi valley to Europe without breaking bulk, as well us the vast coal and iron product of Alabama He has found the levels more favorable than appeared in the reconnoisauce which he mode last winter. The route now 1 eing surveyed is known os Gen. Anderson’s route, as distinguished from other routes suggested or run by others. This route is only about 80 miles in length instead of 120* miles, which was the length of the line surveyed by the late Gen. Gilmore, which reached the St. John’s only a lew miles south of Jacksonville. While Gen. Gilmore’s and other routes encountered great elevations, and some elevated lakes, Gen. Anderson's route runs through the low lands, or, as he expressed it, “runs un der tlio instep of the bout” (Florida being likened to a boot in shape). Gen. Anderson, in an interview with the undersigned, claimed that his route would have as little land cut as any route yet sug gested, and would have far" less “engineer ing impediments.” Ho thinks he can build the canal on this route for about two-thirds what it will cost by either of the ono or two other routes surveyed or suggested heretofore. Ho said: “This canal, hi short, will bo great in every essential feature, ex cept in the natural difficulties to bo en countered in its construction. It will revolutionize values in Florida. Tho ex penditure of money for its construction alone will equal the present tax valuation of the State of Florida. No transportation can compete in cheapness with water trans portation, and this canal will transport tho corn, hay, wheat, and other heavy pro ducts of the far Northwestern Stales and laud them in Europe for the present price of carrying them by rail from Chicago to New York. The Alabama coal and iron field is nearer to tidewater transportation than any other coal and iron field in America. When this canal comes into ope ration with its great steamships it will give coal to Florida and toe Gulf and At lantic States at less money than they other wis i could ever have it.” As to the question of tho funds for build ing this great ship canal Gen. Anderson said: “V\ a will scarcely be required to ask tor money, as the capitalists are already asking for our bonds, but of course we are not ready to issue bonds." He went on to detail the plans and sources lor securing the funds, but as those particulars were un derstood not to be for publication I will not disclose them. MEDICAL. DYSPEPSIA, —— CONSTIPATION.
