He Swears that Marshal Wood Camp. bell Told Him That He Had. Longed to Kill
 Him

thenix City. March M-(Special.)-R. A. Thetford, the man shot by Marshal w. C. Campbell last night is still living, but little hope Is entertained for his recov. cry. At midnight last night a warrant charging Campbell with assault with in- tent to murder was sworn out by Walter Thetford. brother of the wounded man. Justice Coan fixed the marshars bond at g, 5O0 which he made promptly. The in- vestigation of the case has been set for Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
 This morning after the doctors had in- formed MT. Thetford of his serious con- ditlon. he made the following sworn state ment of the difficulty, which Is attested by Justice J. B. Coan:
 T came down from Mrs. Coxs. asked MT. Campbell. after l had found out his business. where Bailiff Boon was. Camp bell said: MT. Boon is sick. He told me he had right to arrest me. said let me go back to my house, and then said Wood, you go on; am not going to run away Mir. Campbell said he would wait for me. l told him l had rather he would go on. on account of the feeling which exists between us. I started to the house MT. Campbell told me to stop. I said I will return to make a reply; said I was not going to run away. Then Campbell pulled his pistol and said ed d-n you, l want to shoot you any how.
 The first shot hit me near the heart and brought me to the ground, While ly- ing on the ground. the next shot hit me in the head.
 Campbell did not object to me lock- ing up the house until I had started to do it. Then he said, You come back here or I will kIH you. have been wanting to kill you any how Then Camp, bell snatched my pistol out of my hand or picked 1t up off the ground or out of my pocket. cant tell which. After had been shot down he stood over me and shot several times. would have been shot in the face. but lodged and was shot in the back of the head. After this. MT. Campbell ran through the beei market. and hid himself from me I did not shoot at him at all. After he shot me down. he snapped his pistol at me several times, but 1t failed to fire. He then got my pistol and shot me twice with 1t; after I was shot down I tried to get him not to shoot me any more Campbell said: Damn you. I have beer wanting to kill you, and am going tc do it."

Importation of Mahogany.

The importation of mahogany has reached surprising magnitude during the past few months. With the arrival from Belize, British Honduras, of the Norwegian steamship Hydra, the record of the port has been made for the hand ling of this item of import. and the cus- tom house records show that within two months. there has been more rough logs brought through this port than at any six months in the ports history. All the logs are imported by the firm of Mengel & Co.. box manufacturers. and 1t is the intention of that firm. 50 the railroad peo- pie are informed, to bring at least 5000, 900 feet in at Pensacola during the next few months, A lot of this amount has al- ready found its way in at Pensacola, and now two steamers and a schooner are en- gagged in the trade

Booming suns. firing a salute to the colors of Rear Admiral Barker on the KeaFsarge, attracted many to the docks yesterday afternoon and these fortunate ones watched the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron move up and take an anchorage directly off the city and in plain view from the docks. The ship was closely followed by the battleship Maine, which dropped anchor at the navy yard to await the dawning of to-day before that ship took her position in the harbor to be viewed by the Alabama people Sun day.

Alabama at Practice.

The battleship Alabama, the pride of the United States navy, and thought by Pensacolians the prettiest ship in these waters. will hardly be in the harbor on the Sunday coming The officers exceed ingly regret this, and Captain Davis, of the beautiful ship, Is among those who has expressed his regrets at being unable to be in port when the Alabama people are here next Sunday. The Kearsarge, Maine. Cleveland. Atlanta. Bancroft, Wasp. Nashville. Whipple. Worden. Law renee, and other naval vessels will be here. and will be open to visitors. The Brooklyn, Texas, Florida, Arkansas and some others will be especially thrown open to visitors, and the excursionists will not find a prettier or more hospitabie ship than the Brooklyn, which Is just from a European cruise, and which play ed such a prominent part in the Spanish war.
 Touching upon the inability of the Ala
 bama to come in port, and explaining the reason why, Captain c. H. Davis today wrote the Pensacola correspondent of The Advertiser the following: U. s. s. Alabama, 1st Rate, of Pensacola, Florida, March g, 1904. Dear Sir: Yours of the 22nd received. I regret to say that there Is no immediate prospect of the Alabama coming into port The ship Is on the target range for taget practice but the weather has prevented firing up to date. After the
 target practice is over. there Is lot of experimental work to do which may keep the ship outside for sometime longer; So it is quite impossible for me to fix any date for the Alabama's entering port. I think 1t would not be worth while
 for any visitors to entertain the idea of coming out to the ship We are twenty miles from the town and the ship might be engaged in firing when they arrived making 1t impossible for them to go on board.
 I shall hope to see many of my Ala | bama friends when the ship goes into | Pensacola bay.
 Very truly yours, | c. H. Davis, Captain U. s. N.

completed after months of dawdling

Pretty Cotton Ornaments.

Lovely ornaments are to be worn
this spring, made of cotton. There are
hanging balls and cotton loOpinSs and
all sorts of cotton braidings. These
braids are put on by hand in the old
fashioned way, in little twirls, just as
one braided ones gown years ago.
The narrow white and colored braids
are used, and the designs are distrib-
uted over skirt panels. over yokes and
over the caps and the cuffs of sleeves.
A very neat little ornament was
made for a pretty cotton figured dress.
The material showed pink figures
upon a ground of cream. Little circles
of the goods were cut out and braided
in white. They were then edged with
lace and applied to the gown, making
a very nice trimming.

Gown for Short Woman.

dressmaker last fall and asked him
to make her becoming gown.
Il look short in everything" said
she, "and very stout. Make something
which will become my style WELL
The man dressmaker thought and
thought and finally he achieved a
gown which, when put on, answered
.he purpose admirably. 1t heightened
the woman and made her look more
slender. This gown, which was made
of taffeta, was nearly four inches
upon the floor in front. The back
fell away in very long and very
graceful line. The skirt, while it was
full. was fitted around the hips and
the fullness all came in down below.
The result was charming.

II any one had ever offered him a

out and cut the girls arm. Then the
