WOMAN JUMPED
INTO The BAY
ANNA MEYERS, OF THE RE

HERSELF INTO WATER TO
CARRY OUT ALLEGED THREAT

Attempting to carry out reported
threat to end her life by jumping
into the bay and drowning, Anna Mey-
ers, white, giving her place of resi-
dence as 123 West Zarragossa street,
threw herself from Barcelona wharf
yesterday afternoon, and was strug-
Cling in the deep water when a negro
named London Wright and another
party, who were passing at the time,
bestirred themselves and succeeded in
pulling the woman out of the bay,
none the less hurt by her act, but
of course wet from head to foot.
She had declared to some of her as
'sociates, the police learned last even
ing, that she was tired of living, and
that she was going to end it all.
Friends who heard her make the
threat did not give it great deal of
attention, and she was said to have
sought the end of the wharf and the
scene of her alleged attempt at sui
eide alone.
Her act was quickly reported to the
police station, but when Captain of
Police Cusachs reached the scene, she
had boarded car and went to some
point along the Bayshore line.
People wko saw her on the dock
during the afternoon told policeman
that she appeared to have come to the
wharf alone, and that she gave no
outward sign of her intention to at
tempt the ending of her life. One
person said he passed her but few
moments before she was known to
have jumped into the bay, and that
she appeared to have been out for a
walk, as usual, and as a good many
of the females of the restricted dis
trict walk down on the wharves during
the afternoon, it was nothing unusual
that she should have appeared there,
and he paid no particular attention
to her presence until the report that
she had leaped into the bay had
spread on the water front.

VESSEL BOUND
FOR PENSACOLA
ON The REEFS
ITALIAN STEAMSHIP WHICH
HAS A CARGO OF IRON PY-
RITES FOR LOCAL IMPORTERS
REPORTED IN TROUBLE.

Last nights dispatches accounted
for the delayed arrival of the Italian
steamship Metlaoui, loaded with iron
pyrites, which has been expected for
the past several days. The Associ-
ated Press last night reported that
the steamer named is ashore on what
lis known as Ajax reef, near the mouth
Of Biscayne bay.
The last published report of this
vessel was that she had left Malta on
June 4. Her destination was not
stated in the marine publications,
but consignees of the cargo aboard
were yesterday scanning the horizon
in an endeavor to see something OF
the overdue vessel.
The Associated Press reported the
steamers trouble in the following
message:

Twenty-nine days out from the Chi

steamship Strathendrick, 2,843 tons,

The voyage was made via the Pan
anna canal, and clean bill of health

points along the canal where the

that around the southern point of
South America, there would have been

before the cargo would have been in
Pensacola harbor.
Immediately upon arrival, after she
had been boarded by the port off

come over to the city to discharge her
cargo, with the understanding that
the same would be unloaded under
very strict rat guard regulations, and

ing OF improvements In the Washing
ton street school are being signed
rapidly.
Those In charge of the petitions
have expressed themselves as much
gratified with the unanimity of the
signatures for the bond issue. The
necc 'sary number Of qualified electors
were secured in a couple of days, and
only n small number of freeholders
are now needed to complete that pc

Public sentiment, as indicated by
the cheerful signing of these pc

consent. and as shown by hundreds of
taxpayers who expressed themselves
In favor OF the bond issue. is unques-

improvements contemplated.
There is scarcely the shadow of a
