An Error. In a recent issue of
The Herald, reporting the fact that
a gasoline launch., was being used to
tow an oil barge to the Brulay plan

used was the Sea Gull, which was an
error. The Sea Qull is the Tarpon
Beach boat, and is in use daily be
tween Isabel and Tarpon Beach, car
rying visitors over to that popular
resort. The boat used on the river
to tow the barge is the Silver King.
An Orderly Town. "Brownsville
has been an agreeable surprise to
me, remarked a gentleman who has
lately come to make his home here
to a Herald reporter yesterday "I
expected to find a 'wild and woolly'
frontier town," he continued, "but
on the contrary, I find it one of the
most orderly towns I have ever seen.
There is very little drunkenness or
disorder ever seen on the streets
here, which is quite different from
most frontier towns. On the Can
adian border, for instance, rough
characters abound on the streets
and desperadoes frequently commit
depredations. The people of Browns
ville have cause to feel proud of their
town."
SuaHe Et-capcs. Last night Boli
ver, the large python belonginng" to
the snake show with the Parker

the pit in which it is kept for exhi
bition purposes. At the time there
were several people in the tent and
while the lady who stays in the pit
to look after the snakes had .her
back turned Boliver managed to
crawl out of the pit to the ground. At
once a rush was made for the exit by
the spectators and in less than a
minute Boliver was the sole occupant
of the tent. It was with a great deal
of difficulty that the snake was final
ly returned to the pit, It taking the
combined efforts of three men to ac
complish the feat.
Balloon Burned. Yesterday after
noon a baloqn ascension was made

ticed a small blaze near the freight
ferry and started to see the cause of
it. Before he reached the spot the
fjames were quite high, and upon
reaching there, Mr Laulom discov
ered that it was the balloon which
was on fire. Before the blaze could
be controlled, the balloon was
completely burned. It was with
