 Receives Threateing Letter.
 There was no little excitement among the Italian residents a few days since over the receipt by Nick Giardini of letter in Italian demanding the immediate payment of 5000 under penalty of death. The letter bore a drawing of a black hand revolver and stilletto and is pre- stunned to have been sent through the local postoffice by a member of the Mafia or Black Hand society. Later Giardini and a strange Italian named Danfilo Foca were arrested. Foca has been in the city only few days and was engaged in soliciting work sharpen ing razors. Giardini met him on Baylen street and asked him if he wanted the money in gold or silver. This brought on wordy war Giardini used his fists and Foea drew his razor. This is deadly weapon, barred by the Florida statutes, and the prospects are thIe the city or county will be hundred dollars richer.
 Arrested on Grave Charge.
 Quite the greatest surprise and shock the citizens of this burg have experienced in many months came on the morning of the 14th, when it was learned that B. II. Burton had been arrested at 1 o'clock on a very grave charge MT. Burton was for many years deputy circuit clerk in the office of A. M. MeMillan, clerk of court Some time since MT. McMillan suspected that all was not right with his books, suspended Mr. Burton and asked the state auditor to come over and in- vestigate. This Investigation was in pro- gress for about three weeks, with the result that shortage of $45S1 was dis covered. A warrant was sworn out at midnight and served at once. MT. Burton was placed in jail, where he remained until Saturday, when he was released on $50OO bond. The affair Is greatly re- gretted. as the culprit was regarded by all as man of sterling worth and un- shakable integrity.
 Notable Society Event.
 A notable society event was the mar riage on the evening of the 18th inst. of MT. William Charles Dillard of Mont gomery and Miss Lomie Gould of this city. The bride is one of Pensacolas lovelest young belles graduate and the valedictoran of the class of 1902 of Pensacola high school, and a conspicuous feature of the occasion was the class of twenty members of her class, with the principal, Prof. Harry E. Graham, as special guests. After the ceremony at the Palafox Methodist church the special guests were entertained by the brides aunt, Mrs. S. B. Hutchinson, until train time when the newly welded pair entered on their wedding tour, to end in settling down in Montgomery. The best wishes of all attend them.
 Baseball fans are rather hot over the of the last legislature of the law Sunday ball playing. It was believed that the law would not go into effect for a year. but it trans pires that it is effective from it's passage and there will be no more Sunday ball. An effort is being made to get up series of games for Friday afternoons that will vefy likely prove successful.
 Work was begun a few days since on the new street car line. While this fran chise was granted to local people, 1t is pretty generally understood that the move is backed by northern capital. and the hope Is entertained that In the course of a few months portions of the city entirely beyond the field of the present company will be reached and and it is confidently expected that a better service will be brought about on the old lines.
 While Pensacola is congratulating Judge Charles B. Parkhll on his appointment to the supreme bench. it deplores the fact that 1t loses him and his estimable family. But Pensacola's loss is Tallahassee's gain and the society of the Capital City is to be congratulated on it's acquisition.
 Judge and Mrs. J. c. Richardson of Montgomery, are spending the summer with the brides mother, Mrs. Aline An son, on Bayou Grande.
 Just at this, the hottest time of the year, Pensacola, with its many attractive places of resort, offers the ideal of breezy comfort and enjoyment
