Murder of inc Ackermans.

But little additional information has been learned regarding the death of the Alderman family in Santa Rosa county The coroner's jury Is still in- vestigating the supposed murder of the family.
 Inasmuch as no clue can be obtained some of the citizens of Santa Rosa county are of the belief that the fam ily died from suffocation. or the mem bers were so nearly suffocated from smoke while they slept that they were unable to make their escape from the flames But as the skulls of several of the bodies found were crushed when found. and that spots of nlood were found. it is hardly probable that the coroner's jury will take this view of the matter.
 That Alderman and his entire family were murdered many believe. and 1t Is the opinion of those who are keeping In close touch with the case that it was not done by any one residing in Santa Rosa county, but some one whom he had offended before becoming a resi- dent of that county. The fact that Alderman before retiring each night would carefully examine his shot gun and then place it in bed alongside of him. showed conclusively that he was momentarily expecting the. appearance of some foe and was always prepared 10 defend himself. No one ever asked Alderman why he was taking such pre- cautions. but it was a fact generally known in the neighborhood and fre- auently commented upon. Opinions therefore are that Acreman had an enemy at some of his former homes and that he expected this party at any moment As none of the members of the family survived, however, the name of the party. if the above suppo- sition is correct, will be hard to ob- tain unless there be other parties who are acquainted with the case.

For a Building Inspector.

Further steps have been taken to- wards securing a building inspector for Pensacola. The Board of Public Works has now petitioned the Council to adopt an ord<aance creating the of- flee and providing the salary of same. The fact that many buildings are now udner course of construction and many others contemplated makes 1t neces- sary that some steps be taken at once if the office Is to be created. It is believed that the Council will take favorable action in regard to the matter and that an ordinance will be introduced by one of the members em- bodying the suggestions of the Board of Public Works

The lumber and timber Is all for export. and Is loaded as fast as 1t arrives on steamers and sailing vessels which are now in port taking on cargoes of this nature Although the receipts are heavy the market con tinues to be firm and little timber is offered that does not meet with ready purchasers.

Mr.. E. F. Egan, of this city, will
try his hand at schedule-making
through the winter, and at the Janu-

which will embody as nearly as posi-
BILE the wishes of the circuit The
schedule will include no series of
longer than twelve games, while the
majority will be of nine games dura-
ton. There will be no off days" ex-
cept where absolutely necessary in
order to travel from one town to an
other, Past experience has shown
that off days are bad for the players.
The fact that every day will be taken
up will tend to make the actual num-
Der of games played approach the
number in the past season, although
one or two weeks will be cut off of
the schedule. AS outlined yesterday
the season will open about May Sand
will close the Sunday following Labor
day. A novel arrangement will be
tried in regard to the opening days,
which will give each town in the cir
cult the chance to hold this event dur
ing the first week of the season. The
northern towns of the circuit will OPP
en- up in the southern towns, playing
three games. At the close of this
series the southern towns will go to
the northern towns and open up
against the same club they met on
their own diamond The closing
games will be similarly arranged

THE FASTEST EVER.
Train Goes From Albert Lea to Al
bia In Four and One-half hours

The Iowa Central made a new rec
ord for itself Sunday I'm handling the
special train for the Digby Bell thea
tire troupe, en- route between st. Paul
and st. Louis. The Iowa Central got
the train over an hour late from the
M. & st. l.. at Albert Lea and in
place of making running schedule
of five hours between Albert Lea and
Abba, the run was made in four and
a half hours which is going some.
The train was turned over to the
Wabash at Abba, and was landed at
ST. Louis at two o'clock Sunday after
noon.
The time made by the Central
breaks all previous records for the
running time of passenger trains.
Engine As, with Joe Benson at the
throttle and Conductor Joe Van Dras-
ka in charge of the train, made a
mark that will stand for a few days.
The train at times reached speed
of ninety miles an hour. At one
place a distance of six miles was
, covered in four minutes and at an
other eleven miles required just eight
minutes. Five minutes was made up
between New Sharon and Oskaloosa.
The train made no stops excepting
for fuel and water. 1t went through
Grinnell at a speed of sixty miles per
hour The operator at the station
tagged the Rock Island crossing and
gave Benson the high ball" They
had clear yard and shot down past
/ the G. & M. Junction like special
trying for a government contract
No stop till Oskaloosa was reached
and a halt was made at the chutes
. for water. The up grade between the
river and the tank was turned in just
! four minutes. Everything was clear
in the Oskaloosa yards, crossings flag
ged and switches set. Benson re-
leased the brakes at the chutes and
the engine almost leaped clear of the
tracks in the effort to get out of the
town. On down the right-ofway
| came the train, gaining speed with
every turn of the wheels. A crown OF
curious watchers were at the station
to see the special go through. What
they saw was in the fractional part
of a second The flying engine hit
| the curves of the main line track sid
! ing to the depot track and some
women creamed-,thought the train
was tipping over. Whirr-pvsdt-ah
h-h! That was all. The train was
now dropping down the grade through
Beacon. Never before in the history
of the town has train gone through
Oskaloosa like that train did.
! Engineer Benson and Conductor
Van Draska naturally feel somewhat
| elated over their run. Some have
said that Benson was dare devil
for running as he did, that it was
mot safe" Every precaution was
! taken, every siding specially inspect
ed before the passage of the train
every regular train was out of the
way, and with this knowledge ant
knowing that every station mai
knew of his coming and had made
special preparations for him, Mr.Ben
son hit the pike and handled his iror
horse with rare judgment setting
new record.
