LOT OF TROUBLE
OVER lucent DEBT
NATHANS HAMILTON, COLORED,
ALLEGED TO HAVE ATTACKED
YOUNG MAN WHO TRIED TO
COLLECT 1T.

Nathan Hamilton, colored charged
with assaulting with knife, was
given a preliminary hearing in the
justice of the peace court yesterday
and was bound over to the court of
record. He did not furnish the bond
which was required of him.
Hamilton, on September Is, was
asked by a 16-year-old boy named
Thos. Wentworth about a little mat
ter of fifteen cents which the negro
owed Mr.. Wentworth. The darby re-
scented being asked for the money,
and after an exchange of words, at
tackled the young white man with a
knife, inficting a number of knife
wounds on Wentworth's hands. The
young man was trying to protect his
body when the negro was seen with a
knife, and that is how the knife
wounds on the hands were sustained.
Not satisfied, evidently, with the
first encounter, but it was s. asgn un-
der sworn testimony yeste " that
the darkey made a second attack on
the young man, but in this encounter
did not make use of the knife.

ARRESTED WHEN He
.SOUGHT AUAUD|ENCE
WITH HIS OWN WIFE
w. j. GROMME, WHO MARRIED
YOUNG WOMAN NEAR OUT
SKIRTS OF CITY, RETURNS
AND MET WITH WARM RECEP-
TON.

w. ]. Gromme, white, spent al day
yesterday in the county Jail, under
a charge of breaking and entering
in the night time. He was unable
to furnish bond, and may be given
hearing today.
Gromme, who had been away from
Pensacola for some months, is the
husband of Miss Howell, residing
now with her parents west of Kupf-
rams park. 1t was said, that he
was discovered by /. Howell, father
of the mans wife, and forcibly de-
tanned until telephone message could
reach Sheriff Ellis. The latter hur-
riedly picked up Deputy Crawford,
and race was made for the Howell
home. Gromme was Immediately ar
rested and brought to the city and
locked up at the county jail.
To the sheriff he tacitly admitted
that he had entered the Howell home,
but only FOR the purpose of seeing his
wife and child. He said that he had
been in Washington, employed in a
powder factory, and held good posi-
ton. AS proof of what he claimed,
he displayed quite a sum of money,
and said that he came to provide for
his little family, but intended to re-
turn as soon as possible. He further
stated that he was out of renumerative
employment until stranger tipped
him off to get the position in the pow
der factory, and he followed the tip
with much success, for he had worked
several months there and had every
chance of long time employment.

some two or three years ago, but
lost his employment, and said that
he was unable to procure any other
paying position. For some time he
worked around the Howell dairy,
where his wife lived, but decided to
seek other employment, it was said,
and that was his given reason for
leaving Pensacola.

COURT OF RECORD
OFFICIALS PUT IN
A. VERY BUSY DAY
TWO DEFENDANTS ONLY WERE
TRIED BY JURY, BUT THE
CASES WERE MORE coMPLI-
GATED THAN USUALLY Ex-
PERIENCED.

A busy day was put in by court of
record officials yesterday, although
there was but one trial by jury, this
resulting in the conviction after a
long elaboration of one defendant for
engaging in an affray, while the other
one was convicted of carrying con-
cealed weapons. This was the last
case of the day tried, and the jury
came into court one time for addi-
tional instructions on certain point.
They then retired, and, after the re-
suit of their deliberations had been
presented, Judge Love took occasion
to express his appreciation for the
body's evident careful weighing of
all testimony, showing, the court said,
lat the verdict was reached only
after much thought, much delibera-
ton had been expended.
Joe Saffron and Alex. McCraney,
both white men, were the defendants
in this case. McCraney was convicted
of engaging in an ARRAY and dis
charged from the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons, while Saffron
was convicted of carrying concealed
weapons and not convicted on the
ARRAY charge.
Upon the application of counsel for
each defendant, which was satisfac-
tory to the county solicitor, both de-
PENDANTS were allowed to go under
their present bond, until Saturday
morning, when it is expected they will
be called up for sentence.

what our chemists Cam DO.

Recent events have taught Americans mod
esty, II not humility, when II comes to talking
about war. The cultured nations OF Europe
have shown US such wonderful ways of obliter-
ating whole armies, of permanently altering the
landscape, of overwhelming crowded cities and
demollshing stately vessels, that we have lost
some Of our national cocklness. However, here
comes some sustenance for our sef-respect,
direct from a meeting OF chemists at San Fran
cisco. In closing the session OF gas congress
one OF the experts pointed out that anything the
Europeans may have achieved is also possible
for the Americans. Nay, more; he said that by
the time war could be declared us, and the
fighting actually commenced, some OF the pro-
cesses now being exploited, such the use OF
chlorine gas would be obsolete. Instead Of that
crude, coarse method Of asphyxlating soldiers
we may have our choice between arsenuretted
hydrogen plain or combined with hydrocyanc
acid, the effect OF which would be to do away
with any invading force as completely as was
the army OF sennacherib, when 1.-THE Death Angel
breathed in the face of the foe as he passed"
Thus Is the genius of American science and
the fruits OF American research brought to the
relief Of any apprehensions that might have been
slowly consuming the over-anxious public While
yet we have our chemists and our ges MAINS we
are comparatively safe.
