To RAISE TRACK
ON THE P.& 4.
DIVISION
Southern Construction Com.
pany Will Send Its
Equipment Here
To-Day.

The Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company does. not propose to
again be bothered with the track on
the P. & A. division, which for years
would either be covered with sand or
else washed out, but will rebuild the
track from Pensacola to Escambia
trestle at least and probably further
from 5 to Z feet higher than it is at
present, which will effectually put q
stop to the trouble experienced ip
years past.
To do this work the company has
contracted with the Southern Con.
struction Company, a firm that makes
a business of this class of work, and
while trains are running over the
temporary track now in position, the
construction company will be busily
engaged in building permanent
roadbed much above the present one,
cutting away the sand banks that al
most overhang the track all along
the route for miles and doing other
work that will insure the company
against further annoyance.
II is understood that the construc-
ton company is also to complete the
rebuilding of Escambia bridge. but
this is not positively known.
The equipment of the construction
company. consisting of engines cars.
derricks, etc, may reach the city To-
day.
It Is stated that the company an
ticipates spending about $4,000 per
mile on the rebuilding OF the track.
Chief Engineer Courtney and Cen
eral Manager Starks, Of the L. &
n. are in the city looking after the
rebuilding work, and will remain I'M

CHIEF SCHAD TO LEAVE
OFFICE ON NOVEMBER /
WILL TENDER HIS RESIGNATION TO THE
MAYOR AT ONCE TO BE PRESENTED
TO THE CIT Y COUNCIL.

Chief. C. F. Schad, head of the po-
lice department of the city, is to leave
the Office of the city marshal on No
vember 1. He will tender his resigna-
ton at once to the mayor, effective on
that date, and the latter will present
1t to the council at its last meeting in
this month, when his successor in
Office will also be chosen.
The reason of the marshal for re-
signing is that he is to embark in the
saloon business with Allie Riera,
where he hopes to not only have a
few hours to himself without worry
and care, but also that the remuner.
alton derived therefrom will exceed
500 per month, the salary Of the mar
shall of Pensacola.
The marshal has been considering
the move for some time, but when II
was thought recently that the council

Captain Hutchins stated that a new

will probably be in a position to do
so some time during the latter por-

Marshal Schad has made a good
officer, and during his service of near.

to the public, and many will learn
with regret that he is to, leave the

resignation will probably also select
his successor, as it is one of the du-

while there are no applications at

Masked Men Bearded Train.
When the train arrived at Mount
Vernon eight me2 wearing white
masks got on board. Five went into
the smoker and covered Sheriff Pow
ers and Deputy Charles Green with
revolvers and disarmed them, telling
them they had come for the prison
ers as it was better to hang them
outside of Mobile and perhaps thus
save the lives of some innocent peo-
pie.
When the train reached Creola a
large number of masked men took
seats in a passenger coach which had
been cleared of passengers. and were
given their orders by the leaders,
who were already on board. AT
Pritchard's the mob, closely guarding
the negroes. got off and walked down
! the road to a big oak tree. Hardly
word was spoken. Nearing the
| tree the order was given to hurry
and In the last twenty-five yards the
mob and negroes broke into run
Thompson was hanged first. He
sullenly refused to say anything and
when the rope was adjusted he was
jerked into the air and the rope
! fastened. Robinson, just before the
moose was placed around his neck
said he was not guilty. Then he
too. was swung into the air beside
the swaying body Of Thompson.
While the negroes were being
hanged the leader OF the mob gave
the order: Boys, don't fire shot
We are carrying out the will OF the
people" The lynchers then quietly
left the spot, but a few minutes
later two thousand men and boys sur,
rounded the place and gazed silently
at the suspended bodies OF the ne
groes.

the three most remarkable blocks-said
