The tug Nellie, one of the largest ot the towboats to be damaged by the September hurricane, has been hoated but it was not without the expenditure of vast sum of money. The towboai was driven a quarter of a mile ashore in the western section of the city and left stranded among trees and stumps and in order to move her to the water it was necessary to clear the way with dynamite.
 After being launched into the water a channel over a quarter of a mile in length had to be dredged so the tug could reach deep water. The tug was repaired while she was high and dry and will be ready to go into commis- sion within a. few days.

!ColIect Opern Homo FIne.

Charging that the management of the Pensacola Opera House has failed to comply with the city ordinances by in- stalling a hreproof curtain and suhl- cient fire escapes, the Board of Public Safety at a meeting last night ordered the Recorder of the Municipal Court to immediately order the collection of the $50 fine recently imposed upon the man agement for failure to comply with the city ordinances, and to assess similar line for each performance given in the house until the defects are remedied.
 Some months ago there was an agita- ton started that the opera house was unsafe and the manager was arrested
 He. was fined $50, but collection was suspended, provided the house be placed in condition. This was supposed to have been done, as the management showed at the trial that some of the alleged defects did not exist, but on the other hand were even better than demanded by the city. and stated that the fire escapes would be placed as soon as possible. Upon this showing the collection of the fine was suspend ed, but now the board has ordered the Recorder to enforce the collection.
