Then come racing and hustling among the other ships to get there Perhaps two arrive together and the catch between them. By this arrange ment few menhaden been detected are per mitted to escape
 Then there another element of excitement which is apt be encountered at almost any time Suppose the catch made and the crews busy hauling he fish aboard the steamer.

NEGRO RETAKEN BY
 MONTGOMERY MEN.
James Thomas, Who Escaped from Camp of Sanders Lumber COm- pany is Found in Flo
 matOn Restaurant.

Flomaton, Aug. 24.-(Special. )- James Thomas. a desperate negro. who escaped from the convict camp of the Sanders Lumber Company @ few days ago, was captured in a Flomaton res taurant early this morning by two Montgomery men. O. P. Larktn and Ed Rames, who are connected with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
 Thomas was sent up for ten years about two years ago, there being three charges against him-robbery, assault and attempted murder. The victim of his crimes was Frank Powers, Lou isville and Nashville engineer. and the crimes were committed Q short dist ance below Brewton.
 Being fellow employees of the robbed engineer, the Montgomery men were on the lookout for the escaped negro, and when they located him in a restaurant here they succeeded in surprising him and effecting his capture. He is now in the hands of the Sheriff of Escambla County.
 The negro had declared that he would never be taken back to prison alive, and was generally regarded as des- perate character. There was a reward of $10o offered, 1t is said. for his cap ture.

BIG FIRE IS
 THREATENED Flames Do Damage on Commerce Street. HARD WORK SAVES HEAVY LOSS Burning Fiercely Before Department
 Reaches Scene. Firemen Confine Blaze Almost Wholly In Katz's store and Apartments < Above, Though Neishbors Are :
 Badly 3inged.
HARD WORK SAVES HEAVY LOSS

Fire which started in the story above the dry goods store of M. Katz, at 127 Commerce Street, this morning at o'clock. threatened the entire block from Blbb to Tallapoosa Street, and 1t was only after an hours hard work that the fire department was able to prevent disastrous confiagration. The fire was discovered by several persons at about the same time. and telephone alarms were sent to fire head quarters. and after the fire was located. a general alarm was sent In. The flames had evidently been burn ing for some time when discovered as they broke through the windows on, the Commerce Street side and the entire ve- randa down the fronb of the block was In flames when the firemen arrived < Within a few minutes after the ap- paratus arrived at the scene, half dozen streams were playing on the burning building, a..d the fire was con lined to the Katz apartments above the store, which will probably be a total loss from fire and water.
 The loss will probably be between s5,000 and $6,OoO, partially covered by insurance.
 A stiff breeze was blowing due North during the progress of the fire, and made 1t difficult for the firemen to cope with the flames from but one side. The place of business of the Mercantile Paper Company, and the saloon of J. C.. Booth, both adjoining the Katz place, were slightly damaged.
 Just how the fire originated Is not known Several persons living in an adjacent apartment said they had mo- ticed smoke for at least half an hour before they discovered the fire, but thought this was from the packing house nearby.
 A large crowd of curious people soon appeared at the scene of the fire, de- spite the hour, and when 1t looked as though the, flames would spread to the adjoining apartments. were treated to h lively scene of scantily clad residents hustling out with their belongings. At 2 o'clock the flames were well un- der control.

 It is said that Waters, who several times previous to last night had brought about amity in the Germans household, attempted to remonstrate with the liquor crazed Husband. But the attempts of the peacemaker were so galling to the one for whom they were intended that he resorted to his axe, and thus brought about his end,

 Shortly after the committing of the deed, about 10.30 o'clock. the police department was notified of the mur- der, and police officials were at once dispatched to the scene. Captain Miles Smith was one of the first to reach the settlement, where Waters surrendered himself to the officials. He was at once brought to police headquarters. where he told the story of how the deed was brought about.
 Statement by Waters.
 Waters expressed great remorse over his killing of Dombrasky, alleging self defense. When seen by an Advertiser reporter he related the story as It had been impressed upon his mind, dub ping his friend "John," the name by which Dombrasky was known.
 John was coming after me with an axe" he. said. q told him to go away. He followed me to my door. I got my shot gun from my house. God knows didn't mean to kill him. I closed my eyes and shot God must have meant 1t that way. I had intended only to frighten him away. The gun was loaded with number eight shot They must have struck him in the heart because he died so quick
 John Is a German and a good man, and he pays his debts" continued Wa ters He must have been drinking tonight. He has been drinking every Saturday night. He lives the third house from me, and tonight he beat his wife and family so terribly that they had to run away from home. ."i+
 T woke up MT. Clint Dickerson, our foreman, and both of us went over to Johns house together When we got there. Mir. Dickerson went right away to get our officer at the mill, and while he was gone, 1t all happened.
 "As soon as John saw me, he picked up an axe in the house and he and an- other German started after me. I ran back to my house, followed by John, and when I saw that John had his mind set on doing me harm, I got my gun and fired 1t from my door just as he was turning the corner of the house. God knows that Is the truth. It was self-defense."
 Waters is 39 years of age a native of Georgia and has been connected with the cordage works at various times during the past four years.
