Orders a
Collection Taken.
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug., 2o.--Har-mon!
Murray, a negro desperado and
murderer, is still maintaining a reign of
terror in the southwestern portion of the

him, which they did. He left after tell
ing them they were doing good by help
inff him. He has threatenad to stop
trains on some of the railroads, and
armed men are patrolling 'the track in
many places. Murray has committed
many other acts of lawlessness in . the
past week. The citizens of Gainesville
have offered large rawards. and the
county commissioners have been asked
to aid in the work of arresting the des
perado. Two hundred men are search
ing? the swamna for him. hut an the
murderer knows all the by -paths he is
able to escape his pursuers, and appears

THE VISITORS DEPART.
Tbe French Fleet Leave England With
Pleasant Memories.
London, Aug. 25. The French fleet
started homeward today bound" for Cher
bourg. The British sailors gave the de
parting visitors three ; hearty cheers
which were as heartily responded to.
Last evening over 1000 French sailors
accompanied by . a number of officers
were entertained at the. town ball at
Portsmoush as guests of the munici
pality. The decorations, marqueses and
other appurtenances for the previous -reception
of the officers and other -.distin
guished guests remained in position and
augmented the effect of the . entertain
ment. The directors of the Royal Sail
ors s Home at .Portsmouth gave the
French seamen all the privileges of
members during their stay. The mavor
of Portsmouth, who presided at the en
tertainment, expressed the earnest de
sire of Englishmen to remain on terms
of peace with all nations. .
. JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Tlier are Gradually Forced to Leave the
- ' - Country.'. '
Moscow, Aug. 25. Even the Jewish
merchants of the first guild are prepar
ing to leave the city. The last order
makes it impossible for them to carry on
business, as Jews are not allowed to em
ploy Christians, and all other Jews but
the merchants of the first guild being
ordered to leave Moscow, the merchants
can no loneer conduct their traffic. Be
sides, the freedom of the guild is liable
to yearly revocation and would not prob
ably, be renewed. The result will be
that in the course of a few months Mos
cow will be entirely clear of Jews. Ow
ing to the fact that Jews are being' sent
back in large numbers, on account of
destitution, from Germany and Austria,
the Kussian government has issued or
ders to the police to abstain from plun
dering Jews who are pn their way out of
itussia.

8an' Antonio, Tex,, Aug. 24. A pir
vate letter from Albert Garcia, a promi
nent citizen of the state of Chihuahua,
Mexico, tells of a most widespread and
pitiable famine in that state. ' There has
been ho rain in many eections of the
state for nearly two years. The cattle
aredying by thousands, and men, women
and children by scores are dying from
hunrer. President Diaz has been ap
pealed to and has suspended the customs
duties iii order that bread stuffs from
the United States can be gotten to- the
starving people with tbe least cost. ,
The EDgllnh Hangman.
London, Aug. ro. Berry has re
deemed his reputation as a hangman
The execution of Watts, the wife mur
derer, today, was performed, with heat
ness and promptitude. It is said that
the high sheriff of Hants gave. the bang-
man notice through a subordinate that
there must be no drinking, not even of
brandy and soda previous to the execu
tion. The condemned was allowed t
stimulant, although that privilege was
denied to Beiry. The result .was no
repetition of the Liverpool horror.

HITCH IN THE SCHEME
The Enormous Floating Debt, of the
Union Pacific Gets a set-back
Through Exactions.
A British Vessel Swamped and Four
Seamen Lose Their Lives Crops
Badly Damaged.
New York, Aug. 26. A hitch in the
financial scheme by which the enor
mous floating debt of the Union Pacific
was to ' have been extended for three
years is believed to be due to uncertainty
concerning Jay Gould's purpose in the
matter. The understanding in Wall
street is J. Pierpont Morgan cousents to
act as trustee in the proposed tuna rais
ing scheme only alter exacting from
Kussell Sage, bidney Dillon and George
J. Gould concessions of great import
ance to the road. One of these conces
sions, it is believed, is the presidency of
the road, and it is stated Morgan se
lected his able lieutenant, Spencer, to
succeed President Dillon.
