Cube Beard Broke Jatl Windows and DefAeA OfzHeerB.

Girard, Aug. 24.--(speeial)-with 6 piece of heavy piping in hand, secured by wrenching loose the waterworks fix- lures in his cell, Cube Beard. a man of unsound mind. defied Marshal Perry and it was sometime before the officer could recapture his prisoner.
 Beard made a desperate attempt to destroy the jail and came near wreck. ing the building. It required almost superhuman strength to twist loose the piece of waterworks pipe leading to the sink in his cell. The tops are very hard to untvist. even when wrench is used, and great wonder was expressed at Boards feat. He smashed the windows and everything else in his reach and was in a terrible rage when the officer went to the jail to give him breakfast. The marshal was warn- ed not to enter the jail. as people on the outside had seen him smash the windows and heard his cries. and thought at first he was armed with an iron bar. Beard was finally disarmed through a ruse. He was persuaded to shut the door of his cell. and when ne did the door was locked from the outside by means of a lever.
 He at once began to curse in . fear full manner, saying that he had been tricked and was separated from his tools" When the ofliceY entered the jail his attitude changed completely and he complained of feeling Ill. He eats and sleeps but little and his con dition daily grows worse. It 10 sup posed that he will be sent back to the Alabama Insane Asylum, where he vas sent a few months ago. and from which institution he escaped.

Letters from the promoters of the two new railroad seeking an entrance to Pensacola have been received by the city clerk and the contents of each to the schemes which mean much for Pensacola Each of the letters give notice that the ordinances as passed by the council and granting certain rights, are acceptable.

 The new Louisville and Nashville steamship E. o. Saltmarsh, built ex- clusively for the trafac between Pen- l has been temporarily diverted from | that trade to that of the Serra line to
 Liverpool. arrived yesterday from her
 first trip to LiverpooI, and Captain | Rogers who was in command was giv-
 en a. welcome by his friends. The Saltmarsh is named after D. O. Salt
 marsh, superintendent of the local Pen l sacola division of the Louisville and Nashville, and that fact gives the boat
 a little more local attention than or- dinarily. She will be loaded with a miscellaneous cargo for Liverpool, and
 in the cold weather, when the quar- | antine restrictions are declared at an end. she will again enter the Tampico coal trade. The last named line is now being held up by the steamer Au- gust Belmont.

Fence Came Down.

EeRcS O0me DOWns
 A fence built by Mayor Bliss and de- signed to stop the use of a part of his property by iaborers at the R. J. Brent & Company sawmill. had to come down this morning. This was on &C., count of an injunction which was ta- ken out and which was issued by Court Commissioner c. M. Coston, acting for the Circuit Judge. The fence, notice of which has already appeared in these columns, offered not a little inconven- fence to the owners of the mill and their help. The deeds to the Bliss property, however, gave him line ex- tending across a certain street and in- to the water. The fence was construct cd along this line and 1t was held that there was an unnecessary and unlawful biockadinG of the street. hence the or- der of the court to have 1t torn down. This made up an interesting line of events while 1t lasted.

NEWS OF PENSACOLA

Pensacola, Aug. )--Last night . meeting of the City Council ended the agitation in favor of sep arate street car ordinance. The ordi- nance recommended by the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce and which was subjected to a number of amendments, was passed with no opposition, but it will be two weeks according to the or- dinance before the new law becomes effective.
 The law makes 1t incumbent upon the conductors to see that the races are separated. and any violation of this rule will subject the violator to fine or Imprisonment There was no open opposition to the measure on the part of the negroes as had been threatened. The black people today indulged in not a little talk of the "discrimination." they call it. but they will In all probability submit, since the law has been carefully drawn up by the leading lawyers of the city and there Is thought to be no imper- fections in 1t.
 President Northup of the Street Rail- way Company. addressed the Council on the subject last night He took the view that if the law was not passed. the white people would discontinue the use of the cars. while If 1t did pass, the negroes would stop riding. There fore" said Captain Northup. the con- panyk may be said to bs between the deep blue sea and q gentleman we have all heard about"

 Plans are on foot for the organisa- tion of . baseball league for next sum naer, in which this city will be includ- ed in the circuit. The proposed league for next summer will have in its several Of the towns that this summer had franchises in the now defunct Cotton states League, and although the pro- posed league will be composed of only six clubs, the baseball enthusiasts of this city cannot see why 1t should not be . paying venture from the start
 This morning N. W. Walker. we'll known lover of the national game in this city, received a letter from Eu- gene Butler of Meridian, setting forth the plans upon which the proposed league for next summer will be organ ised. In his letter. Mir. Butler stated that as he Was a former selmian that tho parties who were. working on the league in Meridian had asked him to interest some one in its formation. and for that reason he wrote to MT. Walker He stated that the other cities with which 1t was proposed to form the league were enthusiastic over the prop osition.
 The parties in Meridian who are working on the organization of the league have picked Q short circuit of several cities in which. during past seasons, baseball have paid well and can see no reason why 1t should not pay awain next summer. The towns from which it Is intended to make up the league from are Meridian. Vicksburg and Jackson. Miss. Mobile and Selma, in this state. and. Pensacola This would make a compact circuit, ana there is no doubt but what organized baseball would pay in Selma.
 The letter to Mfr. Walker stated that it was proposed to fix the salary limit of the League at el,27B per month, and that tho club that went over that amount would forfeit s250. Only twelve players would be allowed to each club. there' being three pitchers and two catchsrs for each club. The letter also asked Mr. walker to see about Selma coming into the league and to let the writer know by next Tuesday, as there was going to be meeting held in Me ridfnfa on that day to put the league on Its feet so that an early start could be made in securing players for next sea son. ..T"-
 The baseball fans of the city to whom the letter have been shown are heart fly In favor of this city going into the new league, and it is very likely that when the season opens up next summer that Selma will have a team in the new together, and no doubt large crowds organization. If this city does so into the league a good team will be gotten will patroniSe the sport. as 1t has been several years since there waa a good team all the season here and the pub lic ie baseball hungry.
