DETAILS OF LYNCHING
REPORT FROM HUNTSVILLE IN
 HANDS OF GOVERNOR.
Not Made pubIic Because of Its State ,nents--Military Court May be
 Organized Grand Jury Site ffmu.

At the State capitol yesterday it was said that Governor Cunningham had received a report from Sheriff A, D, Rogers of Madison county cover ing the details of the lynchine of Horace Naples. a negro. at Huntsville last week.
 Attaches of the Executive Depart ment declined to discus the report. It was pointed out that 1t was possible the report of Sheriff Rogers contained information which. if published, might thwart the ends of justice.
 Governor Cunningham declined to discuss the matter at this stage of the investigation saying tNat within a few days the case would have been ad- vanced far enough for a public state- ment.
 It is~ known that Governor Cunning ham Is giving much of his time to the Huntsville tragedy and 1t is expected that a military court will be organized at some time soon to inquire into the conduct of Captain R. L. Hal at the Huntsville jail at the time it was attacked and set afire.
 The Huntsville Mercury says from a trustworthy source it has learned that the United States grand jury which meets there in October will be directed to investigate the attack on the jail and the consequent endangering of the lives ot the federal prisoners.

Two Games Taken.

Pensacola baseball players could do nothing with a team from Biloxi, Miss, in games Sunday or Monday. In the first game the visitors shut out the To- calls, not allowing the latter to reach third base. In the second contest. which was played yesterday afternoon. the locals were outplayed at every stage of the game, the score being to 2 in favor of the visitors. Varj- ous causes are attributed by the locals for their defeat. the most reasonable one being that several of the regular players are out of the city and un- trained substitutes had to be made use of.

Case NoIle Prasned.

In the City Court this morning a ne- gro saloon man was charged in an af- fidavit with having sold from his place of business a certain amount of liquor in violation of the Sunday law, but as the testimony proceeded 1t was shown that the black man had furnished an other negro with a bottle some dist ance from his saloon. This refuted the charge so far as conducting the sale at the saloon was concerned, and the case was nolle pressed. During the day, however, another warrant was made for the same negro, charging simply the sale of liquors in violation of the Sunday law. This case will come up for hearing tomorrow. A pint of the liquor which is said to have been pur- chased is held at the station as evil dence.
 Another negro was convicted of sell ing whiskey without having obtained a license and was fined $250.

MUST RAISE $45,OO0
ON WHICH PENsACOLA
 WILL GET ROAD.
Committee is at Work and It 10 Be- lieved the Sum Win Re Raised
 in . Fortnight.

Pensacola, Sept. 13.-(special. J. Hon. Hoke Smith was in the city yes- terdAy and left at midnight for his home in Atlanta. In the afternoon he had a conference with leading citizens. Mir. Smith made 1t plain that the pro- posed road had been financed, and that 1t was for the citizens of Pensacola to say whether the road is wanted. The requirements imposed by the projectors are in the hands of a committee whose members are doing all in their power for the success of the matter. This committee is composed of F. c. Brent, H. L. Covington, W. c. Jones and J. E. Stillman.
 The requirements of the company are that the road be enabled to reach the water front without heavy expense; that there be no opposition to the road passing through the streets as named in the franchise, and that all releases of property holders be obtained in or- der to avert any possible court com plications from damages to abutting property on streets through which the road will be routed.
 All these requirements are to be met within the next two weeks, and at the expiration of that tire a final reply will be given the projectors. If suc- cess crowns the efforts of the commit tee, the matter will be carried further. If, however, the committee is not sue -cessful, the matter will be dropped.
 To place the railroad to the water front will cost the citizens at least s45.000. and the committee named above will have in charge the matter of rais- ing this sum by popular subscription.
 The first days work has been very encouraging from reports which have been compared. and 1t is not thought the matter will be allowed to drop at the end of the fortnight.
 A separate committee is giving at- tentlon toward securing the property releases, and that body is also meeting with the most gratifying success.

Three Great Crops.

Corn is king this year. The statis-
tical bureau of the agricultural de-
partment says the corn crop of the
country will total 2.45S, 100000 BUSH
els. That is an average of about
21O0 pounds for every man, woman
and child in the United States. Pres
ident James ]. Hill, of the Great
Northern, is the only man in the
country whose figures on the total
yield were anything near the mark
Early in the season the predictions
were the yield would be smaller than
for many years. Mr.. Hill said the
yield would be about 000,0OO,OOO
bushels, and he was laughed at. Yet
he was under the mark. The value
of the crop at the market price is ST.
S46. .0S3, $50. The wheat yield is about
200 900 900 bushels. At a dollar
bushel its worth in dollars and cents
is about half that of corn. In money
value, cotton is second to corn, the
value of the crop this year being
5000. 100000.
