 William CharlAs.

Pensacola, Fla, July 4.--tspsclai )-- A murder at Willville, two drownings at Moline, a suicide and an attempted suicide at Century were some of the crimes and casualties to occur in this County today.
 The suicide was Miss Ellen Mccor- mick, a 15-year-old girl She drank a quantity of laudanum and never re- gained consciousness The cause of the rash act Is said to have been oppo- sition on the part of her brother to her marriage to a young man at Gen. tury recently.
 The brother seeing his sister dying and knowing the reason she had taken the deadly drug, was so stricken with remorse that he attempted to end his life by cutting his throat, and was only prevented by two friends. one being Judge Mitchell, who after hard fight secured the knife.
 At Moline this afternoon William Charles, taking on an over-supply of liquor, went into the home of Harry Jones and accused him of sending him a letter ordering him to leave that sec tiOn. The letter had drawn on the re- verse side a coffin, skull and knife. Jones denied sending the letter and Charles proceeded to give him a beat ing, but before he had finished Jones secured a revolver and shot his assail- ant dead, the bullet passing through the heart. Jones is still at large.
 At Moline late this afternoon five me- groes attempted to cross the Escambia river in a small row boat. It capsiZed when in the middle of the river. Three of the men succeeded in swimming across, but John Eagan and Rosa Mo Donald could not swim and were drowned.
 Otherwise the Fourth passed off very quietly here. There were large num- Der of picnics and public speakings Business ceased altogether and thou sands spent the day across the bay on boat excursions.

FOURTH IN MOBILE.
GUILE CITY WAS IN GALA ATTIRE.
UGndreds of Pieasure Seekers sought the Bay and Its Resorts--Ey-
 cry tlo9t Packed to Raf1inGs.

Mobile. Ala, July 4.--(Speciai. l-- With the stars and stripes flying From the government buildings, for- eign consulates. and hotels and the windows of the closed shops decorated with red. white and blue, Mobile cele- brated a quiet Fourth in gala attire today.
 On the river the steamers had out their coiors and in the residence dis trfcts tiny flags were fiuttering here and there. Beyond this there was lit- tie in the city itself to indicate that the nation's birthday was at hand oth- er than the general lady-like quiet that preyailed. Most of the business houses responded to Mayor Lyons's request and the banks and government offices were all deserted.
 Beginning in the afternoon, all trains and bay boats leaving the city were crowded with outgoing pleasure seek ars; amateur baseball teams, picnic partfes, coteries of fishermen, motor enthusiasts and all who could get of went in search of rest or pleasure in some form. The Pleasure Bay left at o'clock with the three local military companies aboard, in command of Ma Jor Hagan. They went over to formal Iy open up the South Alabama Rife Range near Daphne and to help that thriving little town celebrate the big rext day in its history. Besides the soldier boys. civilians of all ages and descriptions streamed aboard the other bay boats for the Eastern Shore, bar hecue and sea-breeze bound.
 The wharf was literally crowded with those who came to go and to see others go, and every boat was packed to the guards. The desire to see real live Governor, n Congressman, State Treasurer and a Superintendent pf Education together, as well as the innate impulse to "celebrats" in some way drew hundreds of stay-&t-hoEnes'' bver to the balmy Eastern ShcTe.
 The fun started early, dows at the Country Club, golf and tennis vieing with cooling ices and the balmy sea- breeze in affording the members and their guests a pleasant day. In the evening fireworks of quantity and lu- ridity sufficient to please even the small boy were set off and viewed by merry crowds from the club verandas.
 The picnic of the Young Mems Be- nevolent Association atA Monroe Park drew thither hundreds of families who took in the games and sports and fire- works there. At 1880 the members of the Mobile Gun Club and their invited guestz began to drop across the river for the big afternoon shoot, for which more prizes were offered than ever be- fore. The club invited their lady friends as well as the men and served them delicious refreshments at their grounds just over the river.
