Of a Surprise.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The war commits

den, dated at 1890 o'clock last night,
state that all is quiet there. There is
Intense interest there in the develop
ments at Mukden.
The principal cause Of alarm at the
war office is occasioned by the lack of
definite information regarding the eX-

lost touch with General Kuroki's main
army, which may give increasing i'm
portance to the thanking movement
west under General Oku, which hither-
to has been regarded rs a feint for the
real turning movement TO strike at
General Kuropatkin's line of communi-
cations from the east.

startling Intelligence that not more

by important movements of Russian
cavalry and the reoccupation of the Da
range passes. But Kuroki's main body
has not been located.
A NagasaN report says: Terrible

 Offenders.

Pensacola, Fla. June 27.--(Special.) } Considerable attention is just now being paid to sanitary conditions in the city by the health department, and the first cases for violation of the regu- lations were made in the city court this morning against parties who had fall ed to comply with orders to place their premises in good sanitary condition af- ter having been duly notified by the inspectors.
 The failure to comply with these or- ders is serious thing in this city, and in the cases this morning the defend ants. who were negroes, were allowed to go with warning from the Mayor that a repetition of such a failure would be the cause ofsstiff punishment.
 Two health inspectors are specially instructed to note all premises just now, and to make house to house i'm spections with a view of getting the city in the very best sanitary condi- tion. All places are visited. and spe- cial attention Is given to back yards. where there Is a likelihood of filth acumulating. As a result of this very effective work, there is not case of a contagious disease in the city. and the mild cases of fever are not numerous at all. The monthly reports of City Health Officer Pryor always shows the city to be in excellent condition as re- gards the public health.

AT CASINO IIVEATER.
HeIsman Stock Company in "La Belle
 Marie"

Helsman Stock Company in "La Belle
 Marie.o
 The Heisman Stock Company added another success to its list of successes at the Pickett Springs Casino last night by a clever production of the melodrama La Belle Marie" in which Miss Alma Powell had an excellent op- portunity to show and 1t may be said that she did 1t well.
 The other members of the east seemed to be at their best and tho play went through with vim. Mr. Felix as the villain. Mir. Southern as the wronged hero. who comes in on the home stretch. MT. Sendra as an office boy and MT. Garrity in a light comedy part deserve credit for clever and at tractive work.
 MT. Sendra got a good many laughs out of the audience by his overdrawn portrayal of an idiotic boy and looked the part to perfection. Miss Donna Scl a new member of the cast, appeared in her initial performance in the sou brette part and gave entire satiEfac- ton.
 The part had no opportunities in it, but she did the best she could by get ting everything out of it that could be gotten. She will undoubtedly strengthen the company greatly.
 The specialties get better and last night the best vaudeville bill that has been presented since the company has been at the playhouse was put on. Dean s, Holt, styled The Georgia Cot ton Blossom" struck the fancy of the house by his neat work in black face. His monologue was bright and catchy and he sang several comic songs fin a manner that won applause. The au- dience did not want him to stop and after responding to several encores he was forced to appear before the cur tain in order to satisfy the applause. The moving picture machine had the Great Train Robbery" along with oth- CT good scenes and pleased.
 The audience seemed to enjoy the performance from start to finish and applause was frequent. The bill will be repeated tonight.

DESCRIBES TRAGEDY
JOHN M. MORRIS TELLS OF
 KILLING.
Father of Slayer of Doe Grisham Makes Statement in Limestone Jail He Claims a Justifiiabie
 Homicide.

Athens, June 27.-(Special. )--Mr John M. Morris. senior, and his son Walter, yesterday made a statement in regard to the unfortunate tragedy at Bakers Mill barbecue Saturday. which resulted in the death of B. F. Grisham, familiarity known as Doc Grisham, merchant of the firm of Grisham & Hightower. who have for years been engaged in the milling and mercantile business at Elk River Mills; and the serious wounding of Hon. William H. Mcclellan, a former representative of Limestone County, and the nominee in a recent primary for Superintendent of Education, and a MT. Andrew Vaughn who Is a brother-in-law to MT. Grish- am, as well as the constable of that beat.
 Another participant of the affair was young John Morris, son of John M. Morris, but Sheriff Puryear who has tened to the scene failed to find him with his father and Walter Morris who had returned to their homes across the river and awaited the arrival of the sheriff. making no attempt to escape nor to avoid arrest, as stated by the sheriff.
 The following is the statement of John M. Morris, Sr.. in presence of his son Walter and Sheriff Puryear: 'The trouble first started at the barbecue table Doc Grisham and a boy named Andrew Stinnett, a young man from across the river, who he thought was a son of the late Run Stinnett from the Sugar Creek section. Quiet had been restored and I thought it was all over with, Grisham having handled Stinnett roughly and attempted to drive him off home. Some time after dinner, half an hour or such a matter, Doc Grisham came to the group where and my friends were enjoying our selves, and called me off to one side and told me he had understood I was taking up for Stinnett and I replied 1t was mistake.
 T had not done anything of that kind at all" and Grisham replied they told me you were, and I said if such were the case I could whip you. All of 1t having been talked over by us and 1 thought Grisham was about to leave. having said all that amounts to noth- ing when all of a sudden Grisham hauled off and knocked me down with his fist and jumped on me and began pounding me; my sons soon came to my assistant and Grishams friends came to his rescue. and the mellee en- sued and the result was Grisham was killed and Mcclellan and Waugh wound ed. My son Walter. here with me. was shot though his left ear and scalp in left side of his head. and my son John was shot twice in the hand"
