Mobile Bay Shore.
To the west of Pensacola lies
Baldwin County, Ala, the largest
county in the great state, in size
surprising the State of Rhode Isl
and Between the west line of Flor
ida and the east one of Alabama,
PerdidO Bay extends to the north,
the Perdido Railroad connecting the
city with that body of water. 1t is
now proposed TO construct a trolley
line from Mobile across Baldwin Co,
it terminating on the west shore Of
PerdidO Bay and across from Mill
view, the present terminal of the
PerdidO Railroad. A bridge d milo
in extent then thrown across the bay
will connect the two cities of Mobile
and Pensacola by trolley and give
access to this great territory of Bald
win county, which is now rapidly fill
ing up with an excellent class of
settlers from the North, and where
remarkable development is being
had, both in successful truck and
fruit growing as also in general agri-
culture.
Pensacola Progress.
Pensacola has now taken up the
question of paving, sewers and water
by the issuance of bonds exceeding a
million dOllarS-the former bond is
sue of the city being small-and with
in another year the main streets will
be paved. and q complete system of
sewers installed. In the meantime
the city of Pensacola has recently
purchased the property of the Pensa-
cola Water Company and the plant
will be brOadened in scope and SUP
ply, the quality remaining so nearly
chemically pure as to be in itself
remarkable factor in the great health
fulness of the city
within the past year the street
car system of Pensacola has been
purchased by strong Boston firm
and entirely overhauled, re-equipped,
new machinery installed, new cars
placed in commission, and the ser
vice brought up to high state OF
efficiency. The dummy line to the
Navy Yard and Fit Barrancas has
been electrified and now, hourly, fast
trips are made along the charming
Bay Shore to the mouth of the Bay
of Pensacola, along which costly
mansions and cozy homes are being
constructed rapidly. In fact, the city
everywhere shows marked symp-
toms of growth, as trip by uolley
about its streets will testify, II being
difficult to find a single block where
excavations are not being made,
cellars dug, or new buildings In con-
structiOn.
Pensacola has awakened.
The oldest city of these United
States; the spot where the first set
tlement of Europeans was made on
this continent; the territory where
the flags of FIVE nations have fOated;
this ancient Spanish-French-English-
Creole city has shaken off her le-
thargy and begun that uplift which
marks the entire South; has aban-
doned her former motto, "Manana
Cto-morrOw) and is become a city OF

Court Trials of Animals.

The decision of the Southwestern
Police Court (London) Magistrate
that monkey may use the pavement
IL he causes no obstruction reminds
us that down to a comparatively late
period on the continent, the lower
animals were considered amenable to
the laws. Domestic animals were
tried in the common criminal courts;
wild animals fell under ecclesiastical
jurisdiction. French antiqaaries have
discovered the records Of ninety-two
processes against animals, conducted
with the strictest formalities, of JUS.

law suit that lasted from 1445 to
1887, between the inhabitants of ST.
Julien and kind Of beetle; and at
Lavigny, in 1857, SOW and her six
young ones were tried on charge
of having murdered and partly eaten
a child. The SOW was found guilty
and condemned to death, but the lit
