Yesterday he was brought up at the Armory on two charges of being nccoeory to burglary and so strong was the evidence adduced that his in- dictment by the Grand Jury will donbte lces be ms a principal In one if not both the casés. The police suthorities feel jubllant, for they beliave that the conviction of Eager meana the breaking np of one of the most danger- ous gange of hurglars and thieves with which they ever had to deal. Fagin oat of the road, the Art- 101 Dodger and hia companions are limited in thelr operations. Opportunity may make the thief, but the police nold that it s the opportunity for dis- posing of the prodacta:of his crimes which retalns him in the ranks of rascaldom. TYeaterday afternoon there were arraigned at the Armory no less than nine men charged with bur. Rlary, being accessories to Lurglary, or receiving stolen goods, knowlng such to have been unlaw. fully obtained.

Its Toeatlon, Temperature, Accessibility, Holl, and Productlons Set Forth by Mr. J. E. Shields, Speelal Carrespondence of The Tribune. TattAuasses, Fla, Nov, 30.—Tho questlon where cheap and fertile lands can be obtalned In a healthful climate and accessibfe to markets is an Important ono to thousandsof wmcn in poor and moderate cireumstauces, Florida, cmbraced within the twenty-ffth and thirty-first parallcls of north latitude, contalos 83,000,000 acres of land, of which 17,000,000 acres belong to the tenéral Government, and is subject to entry; 8,000,000 acres are owned by tho State, and subjcct to salu ot $1.25 per acre; and of tho remainder, o vast quantity Is unime proved land in the hands of individuals, which ara held at prices varying from G0 cents to 810 eF acre. i ¥ It lics within the recion denominated **hot? by physical geographers, and s in the same Iatitude as Nortnern Mexico, Central Arabia, and Sonthern China, and {sothermal with Erypt, Northern Arabla, Perala, and Southorn Cbina. The meun temperature for twenty yeara preceding the yoar 1803, as taken at Juckeonville, In' tnat State, was €0.62. The averages number of inclies of rafufall for ten years preceding 1803, ns takon ot the samu place, was 47,4, ‘The general healthfulness of a largo part of Florlda 18 proverblal. Tho averazo aunual mortality of the whole peninsula, as taken from tho report of Burgeon-General Lawson, U. 8, A., mado some years ago, I8 found to be 2,00 per cent, while In other portiona of tho United Btates it s @03 per cont. The statistics fn thet Burcau demoustrate tho fact that tho dlscases which result from nala- rla arc o milder typo in the peninsula of Florlda than In_any otlier State of the Union. ‘Theso records show that the ratlo of deathis to tho number of cascs of remittent. fever has been much Ieas than among the troops se in any other portion of the United States n the Middlo Division of the United States the proportion is one death %o thirty-six cases of mittent fover; {n the Northern Division, onc to fifty-two: In the Boutlicrn Division, anc to fifty- four; in Texas, one to sevonty-cight; fn Califor- nla, one to 123; fu Now Mexico, oneto 148; while 1n Floridas it ts but one to 237, Acceseibility Is one of the most important factors in the proposition for the development of anv country. That Jjoruon of » territory which has not open and casy communieation with nli the other portivns must suffer and re- maln at a disadvantage, no matter what may be the weulth of ita resources. In this respect, Florida enjoys n more favorable situation than any other Etato in the Unfon. It has botha |, central geographical pusition in relation to the great markets of the world, and surpassiog fu- cilltics for watcr communfeation. It has nconst 1ine of twelve hundred miles in length, embrac- Ing some of the fluest harbors, while its fuland lr-mm of rlvers and lakes rendersall portionsof the State accessible, 1t seems Incredible that o soll apparently so poor g8 much of that fn Florlda apycars, bolnyg composedd greatly of sand, should yield so enor- mously to cultivation. I prefer to let the proof of ita fertility rest on the natural laws wovorn. ing its physical characterlstics, which lnws never change, rathor than by citing instauces of the resulta which havo been obtained by ordinary careful cultivation, since all particular focts are 1lable to be erroneously stated, and arc suro Lo be conttadicted by those who disiike the con- cluslon they corroburate. It Is casy to nccount for the wonderful and varfed productions of Florlda, when we reflect that {ts physical geog- raphy 18 very similar to that of {slands .whose vezoiation {8 brought under that law of nature according to which the number of specics con- stantly increnses with Increasiug heat and cor- respouding humidity. ‘The peeuliar confizuration of tho land sccured a very largo amount of coast, and thus gave to tho State the character of an Islund, Hence there aroso one of the characturlstics of an jusu- lar climate, nanoly: nan {ucreuss of muvisture uin.und bytne watery vapor which arlses from the sca.
