TUG,
OWNED HERE YEARS
AGO, AGAIN IN PORT
THE DANIEL WILLARD. FORMER
LY THE STEAMSHIP CARBON
ERo, FROM NEW YORK, AR
RIvEs HERE WITH BARGEs.

People along the waterfront saw
something familiar about the big tug
Daniel Willard, which came into port
last evening with two three-mast
barges in tow, and old timers recalled
that they had gazed at the big steam
er somewhere in the past. The sea-
going tug, mooring the barges in the
stream, steamed up to a berth on the
west side Of Commandments wharf,
and there the Notwithstanding yes
sci was recognized as the old Carbon
ero, which, years ago, was owned by
the L. & N. railroad company, and
which. is now owned in New York.
The tug is in port with two barges
of the Crescent Towboat Company of
New Orleans, and they will be loaded
with coal at this point. Hence, it is
understood, they will return to New
Orleans.
One of the well-informed men con-
nected with the business stated that
the recent storm which swept the har-
Dor at New Orleans has left the coal
ing properties Of the towboat COM
pany named in a bad condition, and
that fuel supplies as needed are OBJ
tanned in other ports until the New
Orleans properties are repaired.
The Daniel Willard, formerly the
Carbonero, was used for years here,
towing to Vera Cruz, Galveston and
Tampico, for many voyages taking
from this point the coal-laden barge
Regulator. Old-timers along the
water front yesterday stated that
they recognized the tug from the
sound of the whistle. The vessel,
now rs years of age, was built at
Camden, N. j., and her home port is
New York. She is 1874 feet in length,
Is feet wide and has a depth of Is
feet.

TWO LOCAL TUGS
HOME FROM CUBA
SEA KING AND E. E. SIMPSON,
WITH THE BARGE TEDDY, AR
RIVED DURING WEDNESDAY
NIGHT FROM LONG VOYAGE.

Towing the barge Teddy, which was
picked up at Sagua la Grande, Cuba,
the tugs Sea King and E. E. Simpson,
Of the Aiken fleet, reached home
during Wednesday night, arriving safe
and sound. The Sea King was berthed
at the usual point, and coal was
started aboard for another voyage
within few days. The tug will take
the barge Peter, now loaded and ready
for the voyage, to Havana, and others
now in that port will be returned.
The Teddy was cleared from this
port September "a, with a cargo of
lumber, and remained at Sagua la
Grande until one of the tugs could
reach that port and return to Pensa-
cola. The Simpson, on the way home,
made stop at Key West, for a short
stay.
On the way to Cuba during the trip
which has just ended, some little
trouble was encountered with one of
the barges according to reports which
reached the city, and which spread
upon the arrival of the tugs yesterday
This caused some delay but the des-
tination was reached in due time,
without the loss of piece of lumber.

BLACK WOMAN HAS
BEEN CHARGEDW|TH
HAVING Z HUSBANDS
SECOND HUSBAND, HEARING OF
HER FIRST MARRIAGE, AND
HAVING LIVING HUSBAND,
GAVE HER SEVERE BEATING.

Henrietta Kelley, colored, was
brought here last evening and placed
in the county Jail on the charge of
bigamy. Her husband, also brought
in from their country home, was
jailed on a charge of assault and
neither of them were able to furnish
bail.
These negroes were brought into
the city at Ais o'clock yesterday by
Deputy Larsen. It was charged that
the woman, having living husband,
was married to Kelley some time
since, and confidentially informed
him that she had another husband in
another place. This did not appeal so
strongly to Kelley, it was alleged, for
the blackened eye of the woman was
said to have been caused by coming
in contact with her second husband
fist. The couple were placed under
arrest and brought to the city for
trial in the court of record this week.

WAS FOUND GUILTY
OF GRAND LARCENY
AUGUSTINE PETTIWAY, COL
ORED, WAS CONVICTED OF
ROBBING AN AGED WHITE
STRANGER OF HIS SAVINGS.

Practically the entire day was con-
sumed in the court of record yester-
day in the trial of the case against
Augustine Pathway, colored, who
was convicted of grand larceny, but
who has not been sentenced. He will
probably be called before the bar to-
morrow for sentence.
Pettiway, youth, was found
guilty of robbing an aged man of the
sum of S45. 1t was claimed by the
prosecution that the robbery was we'll
planned, having induced the aged
stranger to go with him to a negro
boarding house and there go to sleep.
The evidence further showed that the
old man was about half asleep when
he suddenly was aroused by the
knowledge that someone was either
robbing him or was in the same room
with him and acting suspiciously. He
jumped up and pursued his unan-
nounced caller and succeeded in get
ting near enough to the youth to later
identify him. The conviction yester-
day was the result of this chase.
Negro doctor" Sentenced.
W. s. Williams, a negro, who
claimed to have been able to heal al
most any kind of pain or ailment and
who pleaded guilty to practicing the
'healing" without having paid for
and obtained the necessary license,
was sentenced to six months in the
county Jail, but sentence was sus-
pended on condition that he would not
further pursue the old tactics unless
he was able to procure and hold
license for the work. He promised.
Several other defendants, charged
with varying offenses, were allowed
to plead guilty and were sentenced.
It was announced that the trial OF
Lieut.. Forde, for manslaughter, will
be held on Tuesday of next week.

TEDDY BEER SALE
THE LAWS
TWO GREEKS ARE IN TROUBLE
BECAUSE OF THE ALLEGED
TRAFFIC IN THIS BOTTLED
DRINK WITHOUT LICENSE.

Because, it was alleged, they had
engaged in the sale of Teddy Beer"
without having paid for and obtained
a revenue license as required by the
federal statutes, Louis Vasso and
Philip Apostle, both Greeks, were ar
rested yesterday and arraigned for
trial in the United States court. They
offered plea of not guilty and were
released on bond in the sum of 500
each. They were both able to give
the same for their appearance Mon
day morning for trial.
A few weeks ago some considerable
stir was caused at cold drink stands
in the city by the visit of a govern
ment inspector, who, examining the
"Teddy beer" in stock, gave orders
that the concoction be not sold fur
Their unless revenue license was
paid for and obtained as the law di-
rected. 1t seemed that some did not
heed this warning and at least two
of the Greeks appear to have been
caught.
Another Liquor Case.
A young white man named Maras-
so appeared in court yesterday. and
was released on his own recognance
for appearance Monday morning
when he will be tried on charge of
selling liquors without a license. The
government will claim that this de-
PENDANT, even under a suspended
sentence, undertook to dispose of
drinks at a point north of the city
few weeks ago. He was arrested
yesterday and brought to the. city
from Flomaton by Deputy U. S. Mar
shall Griffith.

ALLEGED WHITE
SLAVERS WILL BE
ARRA|GNED TODAY
TWO MEN FROM GENEVA COUN-

THE UNITED STATES COURT
TO-DAY.

Bige Shiver and Ben Startling, two
young white men, were brought to
Pensacola last night from Geneva
county, Ala, and will be arraigned
in the United States court this morn
ing on the charge of violating the
Mann White slave act. Their alleged
victim is Mrs Vicie Blankenship, a
young woman of about IL years, who
resides with her husband in Holmes
county, Fla.
The indictment against the two
men was returned by the recent, grand
jury and alleges very vicious as
sault. The young woman had only
recently married and her husband a
few weeks ago was away when it is
alleged the two young men appeared
at her home with a vehicle and told
the young woman her husband had
been seriously injured in Geneva coun-
ty and had sent them for her. The
young woman accompanied the men
and it is alleged that after they had
crossed into Alabama they forced her,
at the point of revolver, to drink a
large quantity of liquor. She soon
became practically unconscious and
the men are alleged to have accom-
plished their purpose.
The husband, in the meantime re-
turned home, and finding his wife abb
sent, went in search. He found her
