Tried Today.

The case against Will Morgan, a negro who about a week ago cut an- other negro named Albert Clements near the gas house, was called in Po- lice Court this morning. The trouble between the two men grew out of a conversation that they had about a woman, when the men fell out and Clements was cut by Morgan.
 When the two men began to fight Morgan pulled his knife and stabbed the other negro four times in the body. The wounds inflicted were very painful and laid Clements up for several days. Morgan was arrested on a warrant charging him with assault with intent to murder. The case was called this morning. but after a partial examina- tion of the witnesses 1t was continued until tomorrow morning.

Smoke Cnused Alarm.

At 2 o'clock this morning there was considerable excitement on Palafox Street when smoke was discovered issu- ing from Whites restaurant, situated in the heart of the business district. It was at once seen that there was fire in the interior of the place and with out waiting to investigate a night watchman turned in a fire alarm.
 The trucks responded readily, but 1t was found that there was no danger whatever and that inc smoke was caused from a method of fumigation which had been adopted and which had been "set off, at midnight after the place had been closed. Even before the fremen had broken into the place the proprietor who is a former fire chief, was sent for. and the excitement was heightened as the smoke continued to roll out of the place in big black clouds. There was no damage done.

Negro Deputy,s Work.

This morning Policeman Benjamin came near killing a negro named Nor ris, who it deyelopsd afterward was a fulfiedged deputy sheriff. The negro, without exhibiting his authority, had arrested negro man and woman, and when the woman saw the uniformed officer she appealed to him for protec- ton, saying the ddputy. Norris, had inn posed on her
 Benjamin did not know the negro and placed him under arrest. The wo- man cautioned the policeman that Nor ris carried a gun and the officer was about to reach for 1t and disarm the negro when the latter pulled it for the purpose of showing 1t to the policeman. saying that he was armed. The officer his own life and his own gun was quickly brought into position and the finger was on the trigger, when he was stopped by the negro dropping the weapon. The negro would have been killed had he not acted wisely and dropped the weapon.
 The fact that there was a black sleuth in Pensacola did not appeal with any degree of favor to many people who were of the opinion that white supremacy reigned here. Chief Deputy Sanders, who is working under the sheriff, said he would resign if the negro was retained in office, while Chief Schad of the police department was wroth and gave the negro some directions regarding his own safety.

Old Times, Old Friends, Old Love.
EUGENE FIELD.

EUGENE FIELD.
There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful!
When human kind were pure Of mind,
And speech and deeds were truthful,
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion:
And before each dame and maid be-
came
Slave to the tyrant, fashionl
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'eml
AS buxom and smart, and clean of
heart
AS the Lord knew how to make 'emI
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtln'!
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sang to the summer
dawn
Of the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whippoorwill
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love,
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us!
So we dream and dream of the good
old times,
And our hearts grow tender, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring sooth-
ing CLEANS
Of heaven away off yonder.

ference committee on the Panama canal
emergency appropriation bill and thus
so far as it is concerned, finally dispos-

separating those two questions. Speech
es were made Messrs. Aldrich, Spooner
Teller, all expressing the opinion that
the senate had not contravened the con-
stitutional provisionrequiring all revenue

of representatives. The house message
was referred to the committee on II
nance with instructions to report upon
the senate prerogatives on the question
involved. Several minor bills were pass

Saw Two Ballot Boxes.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 19. The now IA
nous election fraud cases against Wise
ana Culbertson were resumed today
with the trunk of ballots missing yes
terday, now in evidence. Many
witnesses were examined. Mich
olas Summers, one of the officials at
the elections, was one of the witnesses
this afternoon. He said that he saw two
ballot boxes at the precinct on the after
noon of the election. He saw but one in
the morning, and gave out the impression
that the second box was placed in the
room when he went.to dinner at noon.
He understood that one of the boxes,
smaller than the other, was for the ne
gro vote When he went to dinner he
left Wise and Culberson in charge of
the polls, and did not know what trans
pired during his absence. The case will
last several days.

No More Dressed Beef Trains.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The Rock Island
railroad has gone out of the dressed
meat and provision traffic and has with
drawn all trains engaged in hauling the
products.
The announcement was made today
and the traffic officials of the company
have given notice that hereafter they
would not solicit any business from the
big packers. Until a short time ago
the Rock Island was a sharp competitor
for this class of traffic, which provides
an enormous tonnage for all western
roads.
The explanation given is that the
packing business does not pay under
existing rates and it is stated in the
opinion of the Rock Island officials that
no railroad can haul packing house
products and provisions between Mis-
souri, river points and Chicago at pres
ent rates and make money.

Mrs. Eliza Reed Found Dead With Her
Skull Crushed.

Bluefield, w. Va. Dec. 19. Mrs. Eliza
Reed, or Fielder, who lives about one
and one-half miles from Pocahontas,
was found murdered yesterday. The
skull had been crushed by an axe, which
was found lying on the floor in the room
AS decomposition had set in, the deed
had evidently been committed several
days ago. Robbery was the motive apar-
emily, as a thorough search had been
made for valuables.
Mrs. Fielder, who was quite eccentric
lived all alone. She owned valuable coal
lands and reported to have received daily
$lS royalty. She deposited her money
in the bank and is supposed not to have
had much in house. The neighbors not
seeing any one about the house FOR sew
eral days, notified her brother, who on
going to the house was confronted by
gastly spectacle. Mrs. Fielder was Do
years old.

and all the munitions needed should we
elect to use force in maintaining the
rights of the Americans on American
Territory"

of J. P. Fowler, receiver of the Amer
can Exchange National Bank, against
Charles F. Palmer and others, in which
the judgment was entered against the
Palmer estate and ip favor of the re-
ceiver for $4,000, Attorney Daniel
Trigg has brought a suit in equity in
the Federal Court at Abingdon, Va, in
order to discover if possible, assets Of
the Palmer estate out of which to salts
fly the $4,000 judgment. Executions
have been repeatedly issued in this case
but thus far only 81, 300 has been discov-
ed that could be made liable for the
judgment, although the late Geo. w. Pal
mer was reputed to be very rich
man.
The loans which the Syracuse bank
made to him are said to have wrecked
that institution. When the late Mr.. Pal
mer came south from Syracuse, he loca-
ted at Saltville, Va, and is supposed to
have invested in various concerns in Vir-
ginia, and the present suit names as
parties defendant, long list of compa-
nies and institutions, including the Chat
ham National Bank, of New York; The
First National Bank and the Peoples
National Bank, of Lynchburg, Va, and
the banks of Marion, Saltville and Abb
ingdon, Va.
The present suit will result in an in
vestigation to determine whether any
part of the Palmer estate has found its
way into these institutions.

Disarmament Not Practical.

Washington, December 19.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt informed delegationlof
Shakers that called on him today that
he did not think the disarmament of
nations was practical. He added that
he regarded a recourse to war as entire
ly proper in case of great unprovoked
wrong affecting the honor of nation
that war was preferable to any nation,
suffering from injury or wrong on its
sovereignty or on it's rights. He express
ed the belief that extension of arbi-
tration to causes which have induced
wars in the past would settle almost any
difficulty arising between nations.
