Hnlladelpnla Ledger.
 Nowhere else in the world Is there so great O confusion of languages, peoples and religions as in the noun . tains and steppes of Caueasia. Her deep. closed valleys have taken toll of many races in their migratIons, and the very inaccessibility of these noun tain retreats has preserved types and tongues which elsewhere have long since become extinct, or has facilita- ted the development of new ones. It has been stated that the number Of distinct dialects spoken in the Cauca- sus in sixty-eight, ana these represent every stage of linguistic development. In these circumstances 1t not strange that the antagonisms of Christian and Mohammedan, of Armenian and ortho- dox, should be intensified and of all against a government bent on stamp Ing out every trace of independence e and dIstlnctiveness.

Tells of His TronhI...

Hans Anderson, young man who for a long time was employed by a prominent ieweler at this place, and who mysteriously disappeared from this city last Sunday. leaving a lot of people very anxious that he should return, has written the mayor letter in which the hint Is thrown out that there Is gam bling on a large scale going on in this city and that he is the victim. Ander- son relates that he is a victim of such houses. In addition to giving the mayor a little history. he gives him a list and the location of a number of watches which had been entrusted to his keeping and which had been placed at the paWnshops in the city.
 He was regarded as one of the most exemplary of young men, and his dis- appearance. coupled with the later sen sational developments, has caused a great surprise.

Camp May be Moved.

Late last night pr. Porter held a com Vcrsation with Surgeon Banks who is in charge of the detention camp at FIomaton and the result may be that the camp will be moved to Magnolia Bluff, Ave miles from Pensacola, and in an eastward direction. Dr. Porter has about 150 names m his office of persons who wish to depart, but Is not allowing them to go until the camp is in proper shape. It was represented by Surgeon Banks that the people of Flomaton were not averse to allowing the camp to remain where 1t is. The strong protest from Alabama relative to the placing of the camp near Floma- ton has caused the Florida health au- thorities to take notice of the matter, and the wishes of the people will in ali probability be headed.

The Fair Pestuoned.


 The management of the Central Ala bama Fair has made the announcement that on account of the quarantine regu- iations the date of the fair to be held in this city has been postponed to the week beginning November 2, instead of October IT. The date selected for the holding of the fair in November will not conflict with that of any fair in any other city.
 The managenSent of the Central Ala. date of holding the fair will be the cause of a much larger attendance and will also give the Opportunity of get ting all of the exhibits at the State fair in Birmingham. It Is also thought that all of the race horses which will be at Memphis, Macon and Birmingham can be brought here during that week. It will give time to make many additional improvements at the fair grounds that have lately been contemplated and ev- erything will be in much better shape that if the fair were held on the days first agreed upon.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
QUARANTINE GUARD MEETS DEATH
 AT PENSACOLA.

 Anderson.

Pensacola. Fla, Sept 15.-(Special.)- frank K. Goulding. one of the quar- tine guards, was struck and killed by a train at 1 o'clock this morning while on guard duty at the northern limits of the city, He died within half an hour after the shock, and was brought immediately to his home In this city. He resided at 800 North Sixth Avenue, with a very large family A sad feature of the home coming was the fact that the family had been previous iy told that their father had been in- jured slightly: The sad part of 1t was corpse.
 MT. Goulding was 64 years of age, and his only brother is secretary of the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce. It is possible the body will be held pending the brothers arrival.
 MT. Goulding releived the day guard at ' o'clock last night. Being some what hard of hearing he was walking train of cars backed down upon him, infficting mortal injuries. Trainmen soon discovered that someone had been hit and an Investigation was made. re- the side of the track. Death came before the medical aid requested could be obtained. Coroner Landrum did not think an inquest was necessary.
 The old gentleman was one of seven teen survivors of the famous Company F, Jefferson Davis Legion, Georgia HuZzars. and had but recently returned to this city from a visit to McRae, Ga, where he had been to attend a reunion of the sixteen od fellows who had fought in the Civil War. Mr. Goulding himself with eleven brothers fought en- tirely through the civil strife.
 The news of the old mans death was a sad bit of information to the Pensa cola public, and the funeral will be largely attended. One of the local papers, in the article noting his death, heads it's article: An Old Soldier Stood On His Last Guard"

 The sheriff recognized the black as the latter stood at the show window of a Palafox Street store gazing upon the goods on display there. It appears the negro submitted to arrest by the quarantine guard rather than go back into the State of Alabama. = -.=
