to Spend His Life in Prison.

Tom Grice. colored, who was tried
at the December term Of the Circuit
Court and sentenced to death for the
murder of Leon Jackson, alias Hicks,
also colored, near Escambia, Fla,
will spend the rest Of his life behind
the bars, the death sentence having
been committed by Governor BrOward
to life Imprisonment.
Tbs crime for which Grice was sen
fenced was the alleged murder of
Hicks. or Jackson, after dispute for
the possession of DOLLAR which the
latter had 1t was alleged that Gricc
deliberately pushed his victim into
the river, where he was drowned. At
the trial the evidence offered was
purely circumstantial, although very
strong, and the jury thought it sufi-
cient upon which to base death
sentence
Grice is said to be somewhat lack
ing mentally, and during his incar-
ceratiOn in the county Jail has not
seemed to realize his position. When
told of the Communication of his SEN
tance yesterday he took the matter
in a matter of fact way, apparently
not understanding the full purport Of

Grice will be taken to one of the
convict camps to begin serving his
sentence within the course of the

SPECIAL ORDER
ON TARGET
PRACTICE
Department Hopes to Minimize
the Danger of Accidents on
War Vessels.

Washington, D. C., June 1O.-Acting
Secretary of the Navy Newbery has
issued a special order relative to tar
set practice on ships, and hopes TO
minimize the dangers in this practice,
The order in part is as follows:
The attention of officers is invited
to the necessity for the continued *
ercise Of the utmost care and pru-
dence In the haRGling Of all kinds OF
ammunition.
1T is directed that whenever the
main battery guns OF q vessel are be
ing fired, all of the fire hose be led
out as at fire quarters and the fire
pumps be kept running.
Care should be exeheised that 10
ammunition other than that imme-
diately required be permitted to re.
main outside the magazine during
fire.
AT all target practice there may
be assembled on deck the necessary
allowance of ammunition only for ini
termediate or secondary guns that are
to fire ON the next run, but no charge
for B. L. r. shall be taken out of
us Nduh, uOl bAActAA NlAC tam UP "
removed until Immediately before it
Is required for loading. For guns
using fixed ammunition and for guns
rising separate powder charges put
up in cartridge cases, the allowance
required for the gun or guns that
are to FIRE on the next run may be
removed from the boxes.
Hereafter It is directed that an in
terval of at least thirty minutes be
allowed to elapse between the last
effort to fire and the opening of the
breech.
II at target practice any gun has
fired a string or part Of string, add
remains loaded at the order cease
firing, il shall always be Unbiased by
firing the charge, if it is found posi-
bic to do so, otherwise it shall be
treated as hanging fire. So
Tn future no MOTrls-tube practice
shall be held without an efficient
bullet catcher securely attached to
the muzzle of the gun, or otherwise
suitably secured, In the line Of fire

ENSIGN
Permission Given to Present It to
BattIeShip- Gibbons to Repre-

Special To The journal.

Washington, D. c., June 10.-The
Navy Department has given to the
Junior Order of American Mechanics
Of Connecticut permission to present
to the battleship of that name its
ensign. A blue print Of the scale of
the regulation ensign of the navy has
been sent to the secretary of the
society, SO that the ensign may be
made in conformity with the ensigns
used by the other ships of the. navy.
Recently the same organization
presented a similar ensign to the
Virginia. 1t is thought that the
school children Of Connecticut will
duplicate the two gifts.
