7 WO BUILDINGS
TO Be FITTED
Up FOR Use
By the City Officials During
the Period of Building
of City Hall.

Owing to the fact that the present
building is soon to be demolished. the
Board of Public Works is planning to
fit up two buildings for occupancy by
the city officials, and also as a jail
and recorders court.
The council recently authorized the
board to rent the upstairs portion
of the building at the corner of jeff
erson and Zarragossa streets, and this
will be used as a council chamber
and offices for the mayor, clerk and
tax collector.
Both floors of the building on Ear
ragossa street, adjoining Mullers store
have also been rented. The lower
floor will be used as an Office for the
turnkeys and also as Jail. The cells
will be moved from the present build
ing and placed in the one to be occu.
pied. and this will be the only work
of any extent to be accomplished in
moving.
The upstairs portion of the building
will he used as court room and
Offices of the marshal and recorder.
The work of placing the buildings
in condition and moving will probably
commence during the latter portion
of next week. and will be occupied by
tbe CITY officials until the new city
hall is completed and also the new
notice headquarters.

Paris, Dec. 27.-The three remain
ing suits brought by creditors with
the object of making Nine Gould
formerly Countess Boni de Castel-
lane) jointly responsible with the
count for certain claims were de-
cided today. The court found that
she was in no way responsible for

largest creditors, who claimed that it
had been the practice Of the Castel-
lanes ever since their marriage to
appeal to him to extricate them from
financial difficulties, but held her

$57, 1000, the balance due to the Har-

CAR SHOR TAGE
DELAYING
SHIPS Z.
Lumber and Timber Reach
ing Here Slowly-Light-
ers Also Scarce.

The shortage of cars is being felt
to some extent in Pensacola, as it is
in many other places, and ships now
in port are being delayed to some ex
tent on account of the mills being I'm.
able to secure cars to ship lumber and
timber to port. Another source of an
noyance and delay is the scarcity OF
lighters In port many of them having
been either destroyed or badly dam
aged during the storm.
Two or three steamers are now be.
ing delayed by the merchants being
unable to get lumber and timber from
the mills, and it was stated on the
waterfront yesterday afternoon that
the shortage Of cars was responsible
for this condition, but that Pensacola
is not suffering to any greater extent
than any other port or city.
The condition of some of the
wharves, which were formerly used in
loading lumber is such that ships can
not be loaded from them as hereto
fore and this causes heavier demand
for lighters, which are not to be had
owing to many of them being out OF
commission.
