PENSACOLA REFORMING.

A great reform "Wave" seems to
have struck Pensacola. BY direc-
ton Of the mayor the notorious
gambling denS and other houses of
vice have been raided and the in
mates and frequenters thereof
brought before his honor for trial.
From all accounts Pensacola has had
for years an element who have been
vieing with the great immoral CEN

The editor of the TALLAHAssEEAN
realizes that there afenumerous people
in this section who know more about
running newspaper than he does.
The editor has simply been little
more daring in the matter, and has
staked his worldly affairs upon his
Judgment, while those Of superior
knowledge have refused to back it
with their means. To some this may
seem ga distinction without a differ
ence," but to the man dealing in
newspaper space as his only stock in
trade it has a significance that
prompts him to follow his own ideas,

his unrightcous head mountains of

Seaboard improvements.

Col. A. Pope, assistant general
passenger agent of the Seaboard Air
Line, was in the city last week. The
condition Of our passenger depot was
called to his attention, and was to
him a revelation that called forth en-
phatic expressions of surprise and
diSapprOval. From what he said to
prominent citizens it is expected that
we will soon have new one, or
there will be great improvements
made in the old one.
There is certainly much room for
improvement. Tallahassee has been
a long suffering community in this
respect and her emancipation is
looked forward to with great inter-
est and anxiety. 1t cannot come too
soon.

LOuRENZo MARQUES, Feb. 22.-The
Transvaal government is reported to be
seriously alarmed at the defeat Of the
Beers at Kimberley and the retreat Of
their famous General Cronje. The
newspapers are most reticent, but The
Standard and Diggers News claims that
General Cronje's movements are bene-
fcial. as lit increases the mobility Of
the burghers' army, enabling it to con.
duct more effective operations on q
carefully prepared plan"
There are persistent reports that the
seat Of the Free State government is
being removed to Wyndberg. 1t is
said that 5000 burghers have been sent

Last Friday a number of boys
went to the woods Just below the
Henry Burton house and near the
Erwin Jones home to gather wal
nuts, taking team along to bring
home the walnuts they expected to
gather. Among them was one lad.
Willis Williams, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Williams, of this city,
about eight or nine years old, and
he had climbed to the topnost
bough of a tree to fail the walnuts
off, and was about twenty feet from
the ground, when the limb he was
on gave way and he fell to the
ground, striking the earth with
such force that his left arm was bro
ken at the wrist and again near the
elbow and the arm between the two
breaks was fearfully shattered, and
his right arm was broken at the
wrist. The boys picked the uhfor
tunate lad up, put him in the wag
on and started for town with him
and in their haste were driving
pretty fast and the jostling of the
wagon was causing Willis intense
pain. So when they had proceeded
as far as the Nick Bintner home, on
the Green farm, two miles south of
town, Mr.. Bintner was attracted by
his groans and going out to the
road he lifted the injured boy out
of the wagon, carried him into the
house and then hitched up team
and came to Extra for a surgeon.
With pillows and cushions they
made bed for Willis aud late in
the afternoon they drove the team
up town and carried him into his
fathers home where he now lies
in as comfortable condition as
could be expected.
