A SUNDAY BLAZE

Last Sunday morning about
11:3O the careless throwing of a
match into a gasoline can contain
ing two gallons of the dangerous
fluid nearly devastated the Baxter
restaurant, but thanks to the
presence Of mind of young
Walton Cores, the damage sus-
tanned was trivial.
1t seems that Cores had just
lit the coffee urn, and unmindful
of the presence of the gasoline
can, carelessly threw the match
into it, causing a blaze that
frightened all the employees ex-
cept himself.
With rare presence of mind
the lad seized the can and carried
it into the back yard. the can be-
ing overturned in his anxiety to
free his hold of the blazing ves-
sci.
At this moment the flames ex-.
tended to the full length of the
flowing liquid, destroying a sleep
ing tent owned by the Baxter's
but going no farther.
Seeing that the fire could do no
more damage, young Cores now
realized that his own clothes were
ablaze, and quick as flash he
hurled himself into a neighboring
sand pile, escaping with some
minor but painful burns on the
hands and limbs.
The total loss, according to
Mrs. Baxter, was about $50.

GEORGE WALLACE IS DEAD

George Wallace, a man about
20 years old. who came here to
assist in dismantling the sugar
factory, was assaulted it is
alleged. last Monday night. in
the Commercial hotel by E., G.
AcFadden, the proprietor. in a
warrant charging the latter with
assault with intent to kill.
The victim, it seems. was about
to retire 1T about midnight and a
dispute arose whether or not he
would be allowed to have another
man accompany him. Hot words
followed and McFadden is alleged
to have either pushed or struck
Wallace. who fell headlong on
the front steps, striking his head
against the sidewalk, sustaining
probably a fatal wound.
After Wallace had been put to
bed in q room in the Hotel Grand,
in an unconscious condition, DR..
r. D. Wilson was summoned, who
after IN examination of the
wound. pronounced it fracture
of the skull and gave little hope
of saving the victims life.
All day Tuesday Wallace failed
to regain consciousness, and the
mans relatives at Ration, N. M,
were called up over the long dis
tanoe phone. the Dawson Fuel
Co. (where the son is employed)
stating that they would notify
the victims son. who was in the
country.
McFadden was served with the
warrant Tuesday, and in default
Of s.. 600 bonds, Marshal House
took him to Lamar via automobile,
where he now languishes in the
county bastile.
Wallace is q Mason in good
standing, his receipt showing
membership ia the Ration lodge,
paid until Dec. 81, 1915.
LATER-George Wallace, son Of
the victim, about % years old,
arrived on Wednesday and was
horrified at the sight of his
fathers unconscious form, but
bore up bravely under the cir
cumstances.
Victim Dies.
At 1915 Thursday morning,
just 48 hours after the assault,
Wallace breathed his last.
As we go to press. the remains
are being prepared for shipment
to Ration, where four of Wallace's
children reside.

ing his life as police commissioner Of
Yonkers, N. Y. Of his death the
Yonkers Herald Of recent date con-
tanned the following:
Bejamin N. Medina, for many years
a prominent citizen Of this city, died
on Monday afternoon last at the Elks'
Home in Bedford City, Va. Death
was due to complication of diseases
induced by old age. Mr.. Medina, who
was Confederate veteran of the
civil war, was 81 years of age.
He was born in Pensacola, Fla, in
1881 His mothers ancestors we're
among the founders Of New Orleans.
His father, Joseph Medina, veteran
of the war of 1872, amassed a small
fortune through dealing with horses,
so that Mr.. Medina was able to Sc
cure a good education. In 1854, he
joined an expedition Of South America

onel Barnett, a railroad engineer,

DISCUSS A SITE
NEW GRAMMAR
SCHOOL OF CITY

About fifty citizens met in mass
meeting last night at the court house
to discuss the plans Of the board of
public instruction to take care of the
increasing enrolment in the city pub
lie schools.
The board had tentatively selected
a site lying between Chase and Greg
DRY streets, about five or six blocks
west of DeYillier street.
Some of those present came to pro-
test, some questioning, some critics.
ing and some, as they said in real
spirit of cooperation to help the
board find the most suitable location
for the new grammar school build
ing it proposes to build in the west
end.
The question at first seemed to be
as to a suitable site, which ]. H.
Sheriff., chairman of the school board
announced had been bought. Several
prominent citizens spoke on the ques-
ton of a site, among them being S. G..
Pinney, j. o. Walker and A. G..
BIount.
Other questions were than brought
| into the discussion and other speak
ers addressed the meeting on subjects
ranging from the expediency of con-
structing a new school building at
this time to whether the complete
public school plan which was worked
out some time ago by the public
school commission under the chair
nanship of p. K. Yonge is the best
plan to follow Among the speakers
were O. ]. Seinmes, T. A. jennings,
G. w. Lamar, B. Gerson and I. H.
Aiken.
J. S. Reese advised economy and
suggested that no buildings be erect
ed at this time and Geo. P. Went
worth offered motion to the effect
that committee be appointed by
/, Chairman Cary, who presided, to con-
fer with the school board relative to
| that feature of the matter. The mo-
ton was carried and the meeting then
adjourned after receiving and adopt
ing a resolution by W. Chipley Jones
that the sense of the meeting was that
all felt entire confidence in the ability
and integrity of the school board.
Chairman Sheriff. in clear and
concise talk explained to the meet
ing at its opening the requirements OF
the school system, pointed out that
Pensacola's school buildings have al.
ways been more or less makeshifts
from year to year, recalled to those
present that the school board had in
vited, even requested, suggestions and
help from citizens in the matter OF
plans and site for the new school and
| explained that the necessity for ad-
ditional school room is absolute.
Both Superintendent Edwards and
Chairman Levy of the finance commit
tee of the board of instruction were
present.

BAYV|EW PARK.
TO STAY CLOSED
BATHING PAVILION WILL NOT

TENTS INTO THE BAY.

The Bayview park committee,
which closed the bathing pavilion
several weeks ago, met yesterday
afternoon and decided to keep the
park closed so long as the Romano
street sewer is emptying its contents
into the bay near Muscogee wharf.
The following notice was issued:
Pensacola, July 10, 1915.
Notice to the Public:
The recent announcement by this
committee that Bayview park would
be re-opened in the near future was
founded on a statement from the city
officials that the Romano street sewer
had been closed and would remain
closed. Since that announcement was
made the city officials have found it
necessary to reopen the sewer. 1t
is the opinion of the committee, based
on competent advice that it would be
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-07-20

unsafe to open the park so long as
the Romano street sewer is emptying
under Muscogee wharf and contami-
mating the water of Bayou Texar. The
park will therefore remain closed for
bathing purposes awaiting further ac-
ton by the city officials.
