USE NEW COURTROOM
CRIMINAL COURT OF PENSACOLA
 TO CHANGE MEETING PLACE.
The Board of County Commissioners Have Called for Estimates to Put the Building in
 Shape.

Pensacola, Fla. Mar. 24.-(Special.) If the County Commissioners have their way In the matter, the criminal court sessions will be held in the near future, in the new building which the board has purchased, at the corner of Jefferson and Zarragossa streets and which 1t is declared. is much more suit able than the present court house. which the commissions desire to be used only by the circuit court.
 The board recently decided to pur- cnanse a two-story brick building al the corner adjoining the county jail more for the purpose of extending the county jail than for court house, but when the purchase was closed last night 1t was decided that 1t would be an estimab ble place for a criminal court room as 1t would not necessitate marching prisoners from the jail to the court room, a distance of eight or ten blocks, but court could be conducted within a few yards of the jail.
 With this desire, the board has called for estimates for fitting up the new building and If the judge of the court consents the sessions will be held there.

The master of the ship came ashore early in the night with two members of the crew as boatmen.. They did not so twenty yards from the wharf where the boat was moored, but when the master was ready to return to his vessel the yawl was missing.
