rhon.nnd-pouna rurtle.

A thousand pound sea turtle was captured on the Santa Rosa Island beach last night by a party of gentle men from this city who had betaken themselves to the island for the pur- pose of enjoying the admirable surf bathing now to be had there. The big sea monster was busily engaged in laying eggs on the beach when the gen tlemen managed to get between her and the water and by means Of oars and sticks managed to keep the turtle from reaching the sea. The monster "fiippers" were fastened with rope and then, after much labor. the huge mass of turtle flesh was dragged to the boat moored near by and aferward brought to this city.
 This Is the largest turtle that has ever been captured at this point. It has been not infrequently the case Of a 400 pound one being hauled from the water, but this monster beats all rec ords, and the gentlemen of course are talking of their successful exploit. When they first reached the island they were told that the turtle had been seen several time on the beach and was thought to be preparing to lay the eggs. The gentlemen watched and their vigils were rewarded by see- ing the monster creep out and leisure ly start to deposit the eggs. The plan of capture was formed at once and was successful
 This forenoon there was grand butchery, and turtle meat enough to make barrels of soup was distributed to those assisting in the capture of the toothsome prize. many persons not in- terested in the capture coming in for share.

The Austrian steamship Auguste put into this port this morning for miscel- laneous cargo. When her manifest was entered at the custom house there was included the item of cargo in transit: "twenty-one bales Of old newspapers in transit for Trieste.
 These old newspapers form the only pit of cargo the vessel carries as yet ana there could be found none who could tell just what the Austrians wanted with the old dailies.
 It is not infrequently the case that ships have such items in their transit cargo for Austrian cities. but none
 seem to know Just what use Is made of them.

 Already the sentiment in favor of simple and inexpensive graduatiou gowns is strong enough to warrant mothers in clothing their daughters m the popular shirt-waist suit on thaf much an ticlpated day in June.

Payton Sisters Begin Three Weeks En-
 engagement Tomorrow Night.

KnKHmGuN IOtnOEEOW 1NA8ANs The Payton Sisters, who are said to have one of the biggest. best equipped and most successful companies on the road playing at popular prices' Will open n khree weeks engagement at Pickett Springs Casino tomorrow night with @ production of the interesting and thoroughly amusing comedS drama, "Utah," which deals with lire among the Mormons in and about Salt Lake City during their sway in the State. ~ l., The scenes and characters depict in a realistic manner the modes and man ners of simple life among these much talked and read of people. The play is full of heart interest and the com edy is of the variety that Keeps the au- dience in the best of humor.
 This company is up in thirty-eignt successful plays, which Is probably the longest repertoire at the, command or any travelling company in America. At every performance during the three weeks engagement, including Saturday matinees, they will produce a new play.
 Retween ali acts the audience wiz be entertained with specialties by a corps of good vaudeville artists.
 The Columbus (Ga.) Ledger Of recent date said of this company:
 "The Payton Sisters under the man ageemnt of Dan Holt, the well known Georgia comedian and musical speclai- fst. were greeted with 0 full house at Springer Opera House last night, stand ing room being about the only vacant space in the house.
 "The play was Utah, q Mormon comedy drama of more than usual merit, clean, neat and bright, and pre- senting some opportunities for good work on the part of nearly every mem Der of the company.
 Caldwell the farmer. and lola Payton as Mrs. Caldwell, both had comedy parts that were first rate and both scored a success with the au- dience from the very start.
 Edwin Felix made quite a hit as John Farnum. and his work in the part was artistic to a very high degree,
 Albert Russell gave strong and very acceptable rendition of tho char acter of Daniel Strong, while Walter Thompson played the part of Frank Farnum in very fine manner.
 Miss Vina Payton as Grace Cald- well. was sweet and pretty and made a charming farmers daughter.
 Miss Lucy Payton made all there was of the part of Faith Farnum and was very strong in some of the situa- tions. The three ward teachers were a short feature that created consider able fun.
 Taken as a whole. the play was ex- cellently well rendered, and the large audience thoroughly enjoyed the whole performance.
 "The specialties were unusually good, Mir. Thompson. Arthur Woods, Vina Payton and Edna Baldwin all giving some fine scenes that were repeatedly encored, and the musical specialties of Mir Holt eliciting several recalls.
 MT. Holt Is Georgia boy who has advanced rapidly in his chosen profess sion, and he is constantly improving"

Monster Turtle Weighing Half Ton is Captured--Judwe Parkhiu Takes, His Seat--Party of Mont
 g0mery Fishermeu

Pensacola, Fla, May 27.-(special.)- This has been one of the most inter esting weeks in city politics, for the campaign has been conducted in live iy spirit, and there has been conse- quently a great deal of humor de- rived. Communications in the daily papers have formed no unimportant feature of the campaign, but this week these have taken on decided feature of seriousness that was interesting.
 One of the meetings. was badly stirr- ed by the opposition, and because the police did not put stop to this thing, the department was condemned round- ly. At meeting last night, there were a dozen officers on the ground and there was not the least disturb ance. The announcement is made that anyone who attempts disturbance of a meeting in the future will be prompt ly arrested, charged with disorderly conduct and presented to the mayor for punishment. This will be done, too, the marshal says, and hereafter the meetings will be expected to pro- gross with less disturbance.
 On the stand several times the lie has been passed. and from the indica- tions the concluding week of the cam paign will be one continuous round of charges and counter-charges.
 Last night there was a big meeting of the Municipal League, and c. H. Bliss, the candidate of the primary people, delivered an address upon the question of municipal ownership. This was heard with great interest and was followed by other speakers. MT. Bliss attempted to show the good which would accrue from the owner ship of public utilities in the city. and that the ownership of the water works plant would be a lasting benefit to the tax payers and the poor man who now had to impoverish himself almost for the privilege of using the city water.
 Every candidate nthe field Is put ting in the last few days in attempt ing to make votes for himself and is circulating with much familiarity over town.

 There is no definite clue as to the highwayman, though the officers are busy and are leaving no stone un- turned in their efforts to get clue and catch the assassin. A piece or an underskirt well saturated in blood has been found a short distance from where Walter was shot and it is now believed that the shot fired by Wal ter took effect The sheriff has sent out a circular letter to all physicians asking that they notify his office at once if they should be called to at tend a wounded stranger in the next few days. The coroner's jury IS working on the case also but the clues are not very definite to work on. The citizens are much wrought up at Woodlawn and are on the looK- ant
