BURGLAR
CAPTURED BY
OFFICERS
Broke Into Market of Mrs. COuI-
son Yesterday Afternoon, But
Proprietor Was There.

Jim Iverson, a bold negro burglar,
is in custody at the county jail upon
Il serious charge. Yesterday after
EOOn about 2 o'clock the negro at
tempted to burglariZe the meat mar
ket of Mrs. E. COulsOn. at the corner
of Government and Baylen streets,
and would have succeeded but for the
fact that the proprietor was there.
She received a bad fright when she
discovered the negro in the market.
AS it is nearing the first of the
month Mrs. Coulson was engaged yes
terday afternoon during the closing
hours of the market in posting her
books and making out accounts. In
order not to be disturbed she had
moved her desk over into one corner
Of the place, where she could not be
seen, and was busy writing when
she heard a noise and looked around
to see Iverson in the shop. He was
also surprised. as he supposed no one
was in the market. He had gained
entrance through one ofAthe rear win
dows.
When asked what he was doing in
the place, he replied that he had
come to see one of the men working
there. and that he had passed
through the back door. While saying
this he kept glancing at the knives
and hatchets on the meat blocks. and
seemed anxious to get one Of them in
his hands.
Mrs. Coulson seeing what the ne
gro was looking at, and his evident
intention. jumped from her desk and
ran out through the front door.
-IversOn also ran. but yesterday af-
ternoon pDeuties Sanders and John
son got a clue as to where he was
and succeeded in capturing him at
the slaughteriDg pen of Morgan Bros.
Ivers0n formerly worked FIR Mrs
COulsOn, but was discharged by he7.

THE HAMILTON
PURCHASED BY
PILOTS
Deal Has Been Closed tor the
Former Revenue CutteT-The
Florida Used in Trade.

The big steamer Hamilton, former
" in the revenue cutter service, has
been secured by the Pensacola Bar
Filots' Association. The deal was
closed Thursday night before Captain
Charles Perry and other pilots left
Mobile for Pensacola. They reached
here yesterday morning, when it was
announced that the Hamilton hal
been purchased.
The Hamilton was purchased some
weeks ago from the government by
Captain Kimball, who placed the yes
sci on the docks and gave her a
thorough overhauling. She was on
the docks when the pilots reached
Mobile, 50 they had a good OppOrtun-
ity Of making a thorough examina-
ton Of her.
The vessel is of ass tons. about 140
feet in length and carried three guns
before her purchase. She was built
Buffalo in 1871, and was for many
wears stationed at Wort Tampa. She
is a much larger vessel than even the
SOmmers n. Smith. and will aff1"d

large crew of men and naturally Is
fitted with quarters, so that II VIII

The pilot boat Florida was used in
the trade for the Hamilton and 1t IS
UNDERSTOOD that the local pilots gave
about $4,000 in addition. The new

TIMBER MARKET
STILL ADVANCING
RULING QUOTATIONS DURING THE
WEEK SHOW A RISE OF
ABOUT ONE CENT.

Those who have spent almost life
time in the timber business, and who
have witnessed thousands Of sticks
upon the market without even a bid
der, say that the present price be-
ing paid for timber is the highest ever
known in Pensacola or any port along
the gulf coast Timber which last
year sold for IS and II cents per foot.
and which was considered a good
price for il, is now going al from 30
to 81 cents per foot. This refers 70
averages OF thirty feet and over.
Averages of twenty feet sold freely
for "a cents.
The advance during the week
amounted 10 almost a cent over that
Of the week previous. Where the
prices will stop is a question that is
now confronting those who are COM
PEELED to buy at the present quota
tiOns.
Furthermore, there is no immediate
relief in sight The supply is not SUI
fcient for the demand. This is part
" due TO the fact thar many u the
mills are cutting lumber for the in
terror market, which offers better in
ducements 70 them than to cut timber
for export. There is a big demand all
over the country for lumber, and ie
is selling at exceptionally good prices.

FINALLY ADMIT SELFISH MO-
TIVES.
HOLD MEETING TO KICK
Professed Willingness to Abide oy
Appointments Made by Governor
Magoon, but Grow Impatient Be-
cause Moderates Continue to Hold
the Offices.

Havana. Nov 9-GroWing Senti-
ment of dissatisfaction among the lib
erals in consequence of the lack of
success of their efforts to induce Gov
ernor Magoon to dismiss the moder-
ates from important posts in the in
Sular administration, replacing them
with liberals, crystalized last night at
a secret meeting of the liberal com
mittee on appointments.
Up 10 the present time the leaders
of the liberal party nave protested
that they did not seek Office and were
entirely willing to abide by the selec-
lions made by Governor Magoon.
The meeting last night, however, is
the result of pressure brought to bear
by the applicants for Office, and 1t
was decided to appoint committee
to call on the governor, express the
party's dissatisfaction with recent APP
pointments, and make a strong ap-
peal for the recognition of liberal as
pirants to various important posts.
Hitherto Magoon has shown no haste
in making appointments, filling only
such as seemed particularly necessary.
Governor Aleman Of Santa Clara has
dismissed Garcia Vieta from the post
of mayor at Cienfuegos. The ex-
mayor was a very strong moderate,
and he was bitterly opposed by the
liberals on account of his alleged COM
plicity in the murder of Villuendas in
Cienfuegos last year 1t is believed
that this removal will tend to the
restoration of tranquility in that vi
entity. where there has been much dis
content and considerable disorder.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL MAY RUN
FROM MADISON TO HURON.
BIG MORTGAGE REPORTED
Dispatch From Marquette Tells or
$12,ooo,oOo Construction Bond Filed
at That Place by Lake Shore
Southern, Running to knicker
booker Trust.

A report from Marquette, Mich
says that a mortgage involving $l2,
600 900, in the nature of constructloa
bond for a proposed new railroad &c
run between Huron Bay, Lake Super
ior and Madison, has been filed Ion
record there. 1t covers 48 printed
pages and runs from the Lake Shore
Southern railway to the Knickerbock
err Trust Co. of New York. At Mar
ouette it is believed that construction
work is to be started soon, and thai
the line is to be an Illinois Central
project.
This recalls the fact that a line has
been graded, bridges built and steel
laid between Champion, Mich, and
Huron Bay, without a train ever hav
ing been run over it. Surveys have
also been made from Madison to
Beaver Dam, Ripon and Fond du Lac
while actual construction has been be
gun on a line between Crandon and
the Fox River valley. 1t is figured
that these three may be part of the
project now reported from Marquette
though it is not known here who the
actual hackers are.
