victim of negro highwaymen last
night about II o'clock, when he was
knocked IN the head and robbed of

Greek as one tall man and the other
short in statue. The description an
swers to those Of two negroes who
operated in the city several weeks
ago.
Balls, who conducts business near
the corner of Wright and Guillemarde
streets, had been on East Hill visiting
some friends and was returning when
he was accosted by the negroes and,
before he had time to call for help
was struck down. His money was
then gecurd6 and the negroes fled.
A moment later DR.. Mallory Ken

saw the Greek lying on the sidewalk.
While he was examining the man

that the Lillian road would cost about
100000, and a bridge at Lillian,
which would be 7-8 miles long, would
cost about S1Se,000, if made a per
manent structure. If a draw should
bridge at Nunez Ferry would cost. 1t
would make the cost about $4,000,
and make the total estimate on roads
and bridges $19S, 900, or more than
either the Nunez Ferry road or the
bridge at Nunez Ferry would cost. ii
has been estimated that bridge
could be erected at Nunez for $50, 900,
but Mr. Burrel states it would be inn
possible to keep within this estimate.
In support of his argument he
quoted the following estimates on a
Nunez Ferry bridge built of creosoted
pine: 1885 piles, piling is feet apart,
$4,000; $4,000 feet of lumber, 49,
400; labor, $16,800; draw, $1,000;
making a total of $s7,S80 for bridge
which could net be expected to last
more than ten years, and the surface
of which very probably would have
to be replaced within six years.
Mr.. Burrell said that IL the
bond issue is decided upon, to
make it produce satisfactory re-
suits the money must be spent
wisely and Systematically. 1t is
his opinion that the million dol
lars should be placed in the hands
of committee of FIVE business
men who must agree to serve
without salary, without per
diem, and without expenses"
They must secure the services, not
of civil engineer, but of compe-
tent and experienced highway engi-
neer. The highway engineer must
have full authority to carry out plans
after they have been approved, and
must be permitted to do his work

upon the details of his recommenda-
lions, but is trying to lay out a sys-
tenn Of roads which will give Escanl-
bia county about one hundred miles OF
hard surface road, to last thirty
years, with necessary bridges, Tor one
million dollars. While this will not
give Escambia county all OF the high
way mileage it should have, it will
provide system Of permanent roads
which should meet all requirements
during the next ten or fifteen years.
Roughly outlined, Mr.. Burrelrs
pIans will provide for q north and
south road with sixteen feet concrete
surface and four feet saad clay bin
der, from Pensacola to Molino or
Pensacola to Pine Barren, where it
would branch into "Y" leading to
Flomaton and Atmore. These branches
would each have a nine-foot concrete
surface. The east and west roads
would start with the bridge at Ferry
Pass and continue via Escambia, Olive
or Pensacola, across the county to
Nunez Ferry, where another bridge
should be erected. This with the road
to Trout Point would practically COM
plete the trunk highway system.
Mr.. BurrelI stated that though
!. many were in favor of building
the road to Lillian instead of
Nunex Ferry, that in his judy
ment the latter place Is the more
feasible.
Quoting rough figures, he stated
that 1877 miles OF road to Nunez would
cost approximately $4,000, while
bridging at Nunez Is estimated to cost
from s2S, 1000 to s25, 900, making the
total cost estimated at approximately
SIZE, 900. The distance TO Lillian is
but Ill miles, but the cost of con-
structing the road to that point woulc
