NEWS OF PENSACOLA

Pensacola, Fla. June 21.-(Special.) The newly elected city administra- tion is rapidly getting into fine work ing order. All the different boards have been formed anew by the choice of good men, well fitted for the posi- tions, and all Is moving smoothly. The hoard of health Is the latest to be sub Jected to a new formation, this having been made possible by the installation of Captain William Hays as city health officer. In his capacity as health offi- cer, Captain Hays had a meeting d few days ago and made a selection of Francis Commyus and Jos. Maura as sanitary inspectors and showed his Zeal in maintaining the citys health fulness by recommending that an ap- prcpriation be asked from the Coun- cil for the employment of two addi- tional inspectors, the four men to be kept continuously employed during the hot season, or through the mcnth of September.
 This appropriation will doubtless be allowed since Captain Hays has filled the position before and has the duties of the office well in hand.
 One of the important positions to be filled by the Board of Public Works, Is that of street superintendent, now held by John Burns. The filling of this position was a matter of discus sion at a meeting of the Board held last evening, but no final action was taken. It was decided, however, to hold special meeting on Monday af- ternoon when the question will he set tied. There are a large number of ap- plications for the places.

Looking for Burglars.

During the last few months the Tis- sler Hardware store at the corner of Broad and Water Streets has been ent- cred several times by burglars and small quantities of goods taken from the store. Efforts on the part of the police force has not resulted in the capture of the thief or thieves who have been entering the store. Monday night the store was again entered and ! small quantity of goods taken.
 Ever since tho store was first entere the police force has been watching in the hope of capturing whoever it was that entered 1t. About o'clock this morning Alex Carr. who Is a special Vvatchman for a number of stores on Broad and Water Streets, thought that he heard some one Ir the store. He called for help and his call was soon answered by Officer Walker and a num- Der of citizens.
 The party secured shot guns and pis- tcls and made a search for the sup posed robber. A search was made over the roofs of all of the buildings in the block and also through the store. but no one was found and as no goods were missed from the store it is thought that if the thief had entered he was scared away before he had a chance to secure any goods.
 It has been generally supposed that whoever has been entering the store d.d so by climbing the telegraph pole at the corner of Broad and Water Streets and getting on the porch that surrounded the building and going through a window, but since the search for the thief this morning 1t Is thought that this is not the way the store has been entered. It is now thought that whoever entered first climbed one of the telegraph poles on Washington Street or in Hintons alley and got on the roof of the one-story stores in the block and worked his way across the roofs to the three-story building occu- pied by the Tissier Hardware Company getting fF the store through the back. coming out and leaving window on the front porch around the store open so as to throw suspicion in that dires. tion.

Selma. June Gls
 A story in today's Advertiser told ot the adjournment of the session Of the City Court yesterday afternoon when c. D. Walker refused to answer some questions in the case of the State Vs. s. B. Simons. There was another small sensation in the court today. MT. Walker was a witness in the blind tiger case in court yesterday against MT. Simons and in roundabout way an- swered some of the questions pro- pounded to him by Solicitor Thompson and refused to answer others.
 Solicitor Thompson told Judge Mapry that Mir Walker had appeared berore the last grand jury and had given eVl- dence in the case before that body ana asked that he be fined for contempt or court Judge Mabry took the matter under advisement and the court ad- journed for the day.
 This morning when court convened Attorney H. F. Reese, who was deiend . ing Mir Simons, wanted to exonerate Mir. Walker, and arose and addressed Judge Mabry, asking him in substance what he intended to do in the matter
 Judge Mabry replied that he could do nothing as the matter was out of his jurisdiction Eager to defend MT. Walker and to clear him of anything that the court had against him, MT Reese in a very able manner eulogized his conduct Tn reIuSinB tO~dhSWcI hHV questions that had been put to him by Solicitor Thompson. After MT. Reese's speech the sensation of the proceedings came when Judge Mabry answered him
 Judge Mabry in his answer said that he had intended to let the charges against Mir. Walker drop as he had no Jurisdiction in the matter, but that as MT. Reese had insisted on having the matter brought to light again he would give his opinion to the court He said that he thought that Mir. Walker In q round about way had evaded giving di- rect answer to the questions that had Leen asked him by Solicitor Thompson; that while he could not say he had per 1ured himself he did not think he had answered the questions according to the oath to tell the truth and nothing but tho truth.
 He said that the matter of MT. Walker refusing to answer the ques- tions should be taken up by the next grand jury and investigated to sec whether Mir, Walker had really violated the oath that he took when he was sworn fin as a witness. The case against Mir simons was nolle pressed by tn eoourt but will probably come up again for investigation before the next grand jury.
