a sentence of five years Imprisonment. The crime for which Vaughn was con victed, was the killing of man named Nall, at Century, while engaged in a fight with man named Nichols. Nichols had Vaughn down, and was punishing him unmercifully, but seeing Vaughn reach for his pistol released him and ran to- wards crowd of men standing near the depot, Vaughn fired into the crowd, the bullet finding a loding place in Barney Nall, who was waiting to take the train. His attorneys, failing to get a new trial, appealed the case to the supreme court, and Vaughn was released on 5000 bail. At the same term of court Nichols, the real cause of the killing, was fined $15 and costs for assault.
 B. H. Burton, former deputy circuit court clerk, was convicted on one of seven charges as found by the grand jury, and sentenced to serve two years. His attorneys appealed the case and it will go to the supreme court

SPECIAL GRAND
 JURY IS CALLED Will Look Into the Recent Pen-
 sacola Shooting INTERESTING CASES UP Younu Man is Given Fine For Spreading False Reports About Yellow Fever-other News
 of Pensacola.

Pensacola, July 31.-(Special. 1.-The wholesale shooting by w. F. Williams, in which John White and Edward Dans- by lost their lives, and James White was seriously wounded, has caused the most intense, although repressed, feeling that has agitated the public mind for many years. So bitter did the feeling against Williams become that Sheriff Van Pelt deemed it best to request Judge Carter to issue special grand jury and order a special term of court to deal with this matter.
 In this he was supported by hundreds of the leading citizens who signed sev- eral petitions to Judge Carter. After a thorough investigation the judge instruct ed the clerk to prepare for special term to <be held August g. In the mean time Williams family have engaged Maxwell & Reeves and w l.. Zachary to conduct the defense, while c. Mareno Jones has been employed to assist State Solicitor Kehoe.
 Much curiosity is being manifested as to the line of defense. Many are confi- dent that an effort will be made to prove insanity, in view of the defendant S strange language and actions since the perpetration of the crimey

Disappointed Over Decision.

The test case made in Jacksonville of the Avery street car law was watched here with no little interest and concern, and the disappointment was bitter over Judge Calls decision that the law was unconstitutional. Many were of the opin- ion that this decision would affect the situation in Pensacola, but much relief was felt when Solicitor Loftin gave the assurance that the decision reached no farther than the jurisdiction of the court. In the mean while the colored popula- tion is nobly keeping up the boycott of the street cars greatly to the comfort and satisfaction of the whites.

The Yellow Fever Scare.

The yellow fever scarce has not af fected the people here to any great ex- tent, and all Is serene. While Pensacola has not been dirty place for many years the fever has done good in that a general cleaning up has been inaugurated by the city authorities, aided effectually by the citizens at large. Mayor Bliss has proven hiDself the peer of any mayor the city ever had, and he is ably seconded by his council. An incident occurred few days since in which a newcomer wanted to have some fun at the expense of the panicky portion of the population. The fun was for somebody else. A young man named Dillon, whose former place of abode has not been learned. secured em- ployment at the navy yard, and was do- ing finely until the fever talk began. He, the young man aforesaid, thought 1t would be funny to scare folks, so he started a little tale to the effect that there were cases of yellow fever in the city. Marshal Schad heard of it and put a trailer on the scent. The young man told Recorder Laney that it was only little joke of his own. Judge Laney re- piled to the effect that the laugh was on him; in view of his being a stranger he would take him in to the tune of $10 and costs but had it been otherwise, or If he repeated the offence, he would give him sixty days and the maximum fine the ordinance allowed

ed III civilization How have they
improved their condition in spite
of the eight hundred millions spent
upon their education since the ter
mination of the war of the States9
They are more unreliable as a race
today than they were in the days
of slavery. As race they have
become absolutely demoralized as
labOrers since the adoption of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ment. No longer are they con
sldered an absolute necessity in
the fields of the South, for only
one third of the cotton of the
South is said to be raised by negro
labor.
ITO those who may have thought
of opposing this amendment these
facts should at least meet with a
fair consideration. 1t is well
known to many of the Democratic
leaders in the State that | had no
interest in this particular amend
ment. The Bryan amendment
would have been equally accept
able to me if it would have acco M
plished the object for which the
Democrats of the State have in
two State campaigns made an
open and avowed fight-a white
mans government, to be controll-
ed by white men only.
1.-The object of this amend
ment is to distranchise the negro
in Maryland. Whatever hard
ship may accrue to any of our
foreign born citizens will be
righted in due time by proper
legislation. By the passage of
the amendment | believe all the
people of the state will be ben
Gifted. 1t will add to the safety
and protection of our homes, for
when the negro is made to realize
that he is no longer a political
factor he will leturn to the field
and workshop a better citizen
and will be freed from the con.
Eliminating influence of Republi-
can ownership during campaigns
and elections. | trust that before
the day of election our friends in
the great metropolis of this State
will heed the cry of their fellow
citizens in all parts of our Com
mOnwealth for the general protec-
ton of the homes of our people. "

WABASH ENGINEERS MAX
ING MORE SURVEYS.
Extension of Western Mary
land From Williamsport to
Big Pool and a Corps Begins
Survey From Frederick City
Westward.

Mr. G w. Furrey, in charge
of an engineering corps, who said
that they are in the employ of
the Wabash Railroad Company,
arrived here Monday morning
and, after getting the standard
of the city, commenced a survey
along the National Pike toward
Middletown. The corps, which
numbers 10 men, will push the
work forward and endeaver to
reach Hagerstown this week.
Mr.. Furrey frankly admitted that
the survey is for the Wabash
road. He added that for the
last three months the company
had been seeking a route for a
line through Frederick County
to connect at some point near
Westminster with the Western
Maryland road.
An impression prevails here
that one of the surveys which
has been made across the Catoc-
tin and South Mountains lately
by corps of engineers was in
the interest of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Some seem to
think that they desire to forestall
the Wabash people, while others
say that they are anxious to
gather in the heavy freight re-
ceipts which would accrue from
the heavy crop shipments in that
section of the State. The pas
senger traffic on the steam roads
between Frederick and Hagers-
town since the opening of the
trolley road has been practically
killed, many residents of Hagers-
town going to Baltimore come to
Frederick over the trolley and
take the steam roads from here.
The chief engineer and several
of the head o fiji C al s Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
recently came to Frederick and
made an all day trip in carriages
over the CatOctin Mountain. They
made observations of the Middle
town Valley and investigated the
country around Myersville and
Boonsboro.
A dispatch to the San from
HagerStown says:
"Work started Monday on the
extensive improvements to be
made to the Western Maryland
Railroad between Williamsport
and Big Pool. About 600 hands
are employed. From Clearspring
to Big Pool, a distance of four
miles, a double track will be LAID.
Between Williamsport and Clear
spring Station the grades will be
reduced, lines Strengthened and
the TRUSTEES filled. The work is
to be completed in about ten
months.
The plans include a double
track four-span steel bridge over
the ConOcocheague Greek near
Williamsport. Each span will be
SO feet long.

The elimination of what is

BANDED proceedings on the part
of telephone and telegraph com
pan .es was reached last Wednes-
day morning, when an injunction
out of the Circuit Court of Fred
erick County was served upon the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company, enjOining work
men of the company from con.
tinuing to dig a hole on the
property of Mr.. George |. Wilson,
on East Patrick Street. The
purpose of the wOrkmen was to
remove the pole from the present
location to point farther upon
the property of Mr.. Wilson in
order to accommodate the laying
of new curb by city officials.
While the digging was in pro,
cess Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and
their two little daughters took q
position in the hole, but the
workmen continued to remove
the ground from around them,
until one of them accidentally
struck Mrs. Wilson with an iron
crowbar, and she vacated. Mr..
Wilson and his daughters held
the fort until the injunction was
served, which stopped the work.
There should be some restric-
tions to such high. handed pro-
ceedings in this city and the law
