THE TOTAL LOSS NOW ESTIMATED
AT $260,000.
The Insurance Light Engines Still
Playing on the Burning Ruins—Fa
varnah'a Contingent Welcomed With
a Cheer by the Crowd—A Full List of
the Losers.
Brunswick, Ga., July 14.—The great
fire has been all the talk to-day. Engines
are now puffing around the Times build
ing forcing water onto the burning ruin*,
which still illuminate the heavens Of
those who became overheated while at
tempting to do all in their power to stay
tbe ravages of the flames may be mentioned
R. V. Covington. James 8. Wright and
John E. Young. Sheriff Berrie and ex
* Marshal Dart were conspicuous among
those who were aiding in the bitter fight
against Brunswick* dreaded enemy. They
too, suffered from the heat.
THE hOSS OF l-IFK.
At one time it was rumored that two
■white men, beside the colored man aiready
mentioned, lost their lives in the flames. It
was further reported that C. B. Bradrack
of the Brunswick Transfer Company was one
of the ill-fated men. Inveetigation showed
that Mr. Bradrack was on St. Simon’s,
while no foundation could be discovered for
the startling report. Will Campbell, head
waiter at the Ocean hotel, while driving up
Monk street with a dray load of furniture
from the hotel, was thrown from the wag in
and run over by the rear wheels, but fortu
nately was not seriously injured.
SENDING OUT THE NEWS.
No sooner did the fire break out than in
telligence was flashed over the wires to
Savannah. Macon, Jacksonville, Albany,
"Waycross and Jesup. The East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia south-bound passen
ger was standing at Jesup. Citizens of that
little Lamlet could plainly discern the dense
volumes of smoke that were rising from the
fire. On St Simon’s both smoke and flames
could be seen. The greatest excite
ment prevailed. Brunswickers were
anxious to return to the city, but the 5
o’clock boat was already on the way, and
there was no other alternative than to
await the departure of the next boat. When
the vessels arrived from St. Simon’s and
Cumberland they were forced to take a
berth at Tison s wharf.

THE TOTAL LOSS $260,000.
The fire occasioned a loss of $260,000,
which is not half covered by insurance.
At 10 o’clock to-night the fire is still
burning. Glowing embers can still be seen
all along the slumbering river, but the
fiames have spent their wrath and are now
under control.
The Savannah firemen have worked hard
ever since their arrival, and if necessary
will remain to-morrow.
ARRIVAL OK THE SAVANNAHIANS.
At 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon Savannah
was telegraphed for help. At 9 o’clock the
train came rushing into the city. As it
rolled along the track, finally coming to a
stop in front of the burning blocks of build
ings, a shout went up from the crowd, wel
coming the brave rescuers who had
rushed to the city's assistance.
The company was immediately put to work
throwing streams of water upon the still
furiously burning fire. The men worked all
night and all day to-day and are still at
work at 10 o’clock to-night.
About 4 o’clock this morning the engine
of the Brunswick fire department broke
down. The misfortune resulted from the
bursting of the water cylinder. By order
of Chief Keller it was carr.ed to the engine
house, while the Savannah department, the
tug Inca and the voluuteers continued to
fight the fire.
INSURANCE MEN AT WORK.
Fire insurance men have been hard at
work all day looking up the insurance and
losses.
At 9 o’clock this morning the fire was
declared under control, but great excite
ment still prevailed.
Fire insurance men are arriving from
every direction to adjust the insurance, it
is believed that the fire will be out Wednes
day night, and no more danger is antici
pated.
Work on the burned wharves has already
Commenced, and they will be replaced as
Boon as possible. All those burned out are
arranging temporary places of business.
THE “B. AND W’S” LOSSES.
They Will Not Aggregate $5,000
Bupt. Haines’ Report.
Col. H. S. Haines was asked yesterday
what is the extent of the Brunswick and
Western’s losses by the Bruswick fire the
day before yesterday, and be replied that
they will not aggregate $5,000. He received
yesterday the following detailed report, by
telegraph, of the loss, from Geo. W.‘Haines,
superintendent of the Brunswick and
Western;
Brunswick, July 14, 1890.

MURDER MOST POOL
A Negro Girl Found at Augusta With
Her Throat Cut.
Augusta, Ga.. July 14.—One of the
most foul murders that has ever occurred
in this community has just com i to light.
Lucinda Sims, a mulatto girl 18 years
old, has been missing since Friday night.
Her dead lodv, with the throat cut from ear
to ear. has be-n found in the Savannah riv.-r
on Kirks bar, two miles below the city
bridge.
“Oscar, don’t kill me.” was heard in the
voice rf a woman by a negro fisherman
near that point on Friday night.
AN ARREST MADE.
This, and other circumstances have led
to the arrest of Oscar Johnson, the dead
girl’s brother-in-law. Johnson had charged
the girl with causing his wife to separate
from hiro.nd this is assigned as a motive.
BA number of witnesses have been exam
ined by the coroner, but the inquest was
not concluded to-night. It will be re
sumed to-morrow.
Johnson, while denying all knowledge of
the killing, tries to cast suspicion up in a
white man who, he says, kept the girl; who,
he says, threatened to cut her throat
if she received any attentions
from other men and who, he says, he saw
her with Friday night on the street the last
time he saw her. There is believed to be no
doubt of the negro’s guilt.
STORY OF A BIBLE.
The Book Used at the Executive De
partment Coming to Savannah.
Atlanta, Ga., July 14.—The old Bible
which for so long has been an object
familiar to visitors at the executive depart
ment was shipped to Savannah to-day. It
came here from Miliedgeville just after the
war with other plunder belonging to the
state. Gov. Gordon and all his predecessors
who have assumed office during the lifetime
of the younger generation sealed their of
ficial oaths with lips laid reverently upon
its covers. On the back was tho name “11.
A. Theu.”
claimed by a savannahian.
Not long ago T. N. Theus, a jeweler at
Bull and Broughton streets. Savannah,
wrote to the executive department claiming
the old book as his mother’s bible. A sister,
he said, in whose possession it was, refugeed
to Miliedgeville just before the close of the
war. She was forced to leave there hur
riedly on account of Sherman’s arrival and
forgot to take the book away with her.
Exactly how it found its way to the state
house is not known.
POLITICS IN THOMAS.
Mr McLendon Out and A. R. Jones In
the Legislative Race.
Thomasvii.de, Ga,, July 14.—Hon. S. G.
McLendon, owing to pressure of business
engagements, has finally decided not to
enter the legislative race, which would
necessarily be hotly contested.
A. R. Jones, Esq., has announced himeelf
a candidate for the House from Thomas
county. Mr. Jones submits bis claims to
the party nomination, and if chosen will
ably represent his county.
The alliance movement in the politics of
the county is g adnally strengthening, op
position disappearing before its victorious
march.
Dr. J. B. Watkins brought to town this
morning a number of peach tomatoes. They
are tomatoes greatly resembling peaches.
The only thing that reveals their true na
ture to the sight is the stem.
A ROW IN A GAMBLING DEN.
Several Men Badly Inlured Before the
Fight Was Stopped.
Athens, Ga., July 14.—A terrible melee
occurred in a gambling den here to-night.
It started over a game of cards and several
took a hand in it. The room was locked
and the view from the exterior through the
windows was horrible. Men were slashing
with knives, pistols were flourishing and
furniture was crashing; all mingled with
loud cursing. Officers arrived and broke
open the door. and after a
bard struggle and calling in (the
aid of citizens succeeded in arresting four
men. A melon exchange man named Grist
had his arm broken in four places. Bose
Matthews was cut painfully, and bruised
badly on the head and body. Tne others
were mo eor less bruised. The doctor says
that Matthews is not seriously injured. All
were drinking.
SCR!YEN'S CANDIDATEB.
Rev. Henry G. Edenfleld Indorsed by
the Alliance.
Sylvania, Ga., July 14.—There are now
only two candidates for representative in
Scriven, and it is generally agreed that
there will be no others. John H. Hull,
a young attorney of this place, and Rev.
Henry G. Edenfleld. who lives near Milieu,
are the aspirants. The countv alliance met
last Friday and selected Mr.' Edenfleld as
as their candidate, and he will probably
receive their united support. There are
700 members in the county, about half of
the white voters, but as the members of the
alliance are the men who take the most
active interest in public affairs, many of the
non-alliance men being also non-voters —it
will be seen that if they act as a unit they
can control the nomination.
TWO FIGHTS IN JACK3ON.
One of the Belligerents Probably
Fatally Wounded.
Athens, Ga., July 14.—Two fights oc
curred in Jackson county near here yester
day afternoon. A man named Crane shot
at Brown Whitehead five times, two bullets
taking effect in his abdomen. He will
probably die.
Ed Archy and Jack Whitehead engaged
in an old-time rough and tumble fight. It
was ended by Archer biting his opponent’s
nose entirely off. Whisky was at the
bottom of the affair.
TRAINS CRASH IN INDIANA.
Twelve Passengers Injured and Some
of Them Apt to Die.
Louisville, Ky„ July 14.—A special
from Bloomington, Ind., to the Times says:
"At 8:51 o’clock this morning, ns a local
freight on the Louisville, New Albany and
Chioago road was going down Smithville
hill, it came in collision with an accom
modation freight at Freshlick. The ac

CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
A COMPANY TO WORK A BONANZA
GOLD MINE.
Inventor Brosiua One of the Incor
porators of the Enterprise—The Com
missioners Claim That the Water
They Are Pumping Is Not Contami
nated—The Aillancemen to Run a
Store.
Atlanta, Ga., July 14.—J. M. Brosius,
the inventor, and David O. Stewart, both
of Atlanta, have forme! a company, in
which a number of northern capitalists ars
interested, to work a certain gold mine
near Dahloaega, which is reported wonder
fully rich. Specimens assay so high as to
create considerable excitement. It is said
that the mine is as rich a? any ever discov
ered. The Boney Tank Gold Mining and
Manufacturing Company is the name under
which the concern will operate. Its capital
is $2,000,000. One hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars cash has been paid in, $50,010
of which is to buy the land and the balance
to purchase machinery and begin operations.
Mr. Stewart, while looking up wild lands,
discovered the mine. Ho had had mining
experience in California, and seeing the
specimens was struck by their richness, and
submitted them to Chemist McCan lies. of
the state agricultural department, who con
firmed his high opinion of their value.
Work will begin at once.
THE CONTAMINATED WATER.
Cows drinking from the branch down
which the oil from the burned manufactory
ran into the water works pond are reported
in a dving condition. Those in charge, how
ever, insist that the water pumped by the
city, being drawn of! fifteen below the sur
face where the oil flows, is not unwhole
some. Birds and fish continue to be picked
up dead by the boatman on watch. Barrels
of oil are being scooped up where it is
thickest by the mill men. A special session
was held to-day by the water commissioners
to consider tho situation.
AN ALLIANCE STORE.
A co-operative store is to be started here
in the interest of the aillancemen of Fulton,
Fayette, Clayton, DeKalb, Douglas,
Campbell and Newton counties, in ail of
which stock has been subscribed for. Hear
ing that this project of the Fulton county al
liance had been severely condemned in
Lowndes county, where the ailiancemeu de
clared that they viewed with alarm the es
tal ilishmont of a chartered co-operative store
in Atlanta controlled by the state secretary
and business agent; found it fraught with
danger to the best interest of tho state ex
change, and recommend the directors to
remove if necessary the business managers
of the exchange, local ailiancemac de
clared to-day that there was not the least
ground for apprehension, as the stste ex
change has nothing at ail to do with the
matter. The store will be managed just the
same as other stores of the kind already
established ha ve been heretofore.
THE TERMINAL’S LINES.
The Terminal people to-day produced
evidence before the railroad commission to
show that the lines governed by the com
bination were managed separately and
openly, and should not be considered as one
and the same in prescribing freight rates.
If they were so considered it would have
the effect of debarring these roads from
charging any but continuous mileage rates
on freight receive! by one from another.
Affidavits were produced from John H.
Inman, E. P. Alexander, C. H. Hudson,
general manager of the East Tennessee,
and Peyton Randolph, general manager of
the Richmond and Danville. Patrick Cal
houn, W. H. Spellman of the Central, E.
Fitzgerald of the East Tennessee, and T. H,
Carter of the Southern Railway and Steam
snip Association wereexamined as witnesses.
The fact that the Terminal Company does
not own a majority of the stock in the East
Tennessee was developed from the testi
mony. In the Central it does, but the man
agement, it is claimed, is independent. The
argument for the road was made bv Pat
Calhoun, P. L. Mynatt and A. C. King.
Martin Amorous, in the interest of the lum
ber men, represented the other side. He
insisted that the several roads composing
the system, acting in concert, had disorgan
ized competition and advanced rates.
THE SNELLING REWARD.
An order on the state treasury for S3OO
was issued to-day in favor of A. N. West
brook of Albany, that being the amount of
the reward offered for the arrest of the
black murderer, Sam Snelling, who com
mitted two murders in Randolph county
and on that account has been sentenced to
hang Aug. 22. In 1884 Snelling, who was
already under indictment for assault to
murder, killed Seaborn Balts. He escaped
and $10) reward was offered for his appre
hension. In 1888 Deputy Sheriff Skinner
of Randolph county located Snelling and
attempted to arrest him. The negro resisted
and killed the officer. Snelling was a des
perado, and for a long time terrorized the
community in which he lived.
THE GRIFFIN MURDERER.
An application was received by Gov. Gor
don yesterday asking that a requisition be
forwarded to Texas for Wilton M. McCul
loch, who killed young Powell in the streets
of Griffin not long since. McCulloch is
supposed to be in custody at Dallas. A dis
patch to the local officers was sent last
night asking them to hold him. Requisi
tion papers were mailed to-day.

FLORIDA ENTERPRISES.
The Keystone Brick Company and
Eureka Machine Works.
Tallahassee, Fla., July 14.—The Key
stone Brick Company of Florida has filed
articles of incorporation with the secretary
of state. It has a capital stock of $20,000,
of which $12,000 cash has already been paid
in. The company is authorized to manu
facture brick, ties and lumber and do a
general merchandise business at Whitney,
in Lake county, and Sauble, iu Putnam
county, the business headquarters being in
Whitcey. The officers for the first year
are: Thomas Howell, president: A. W.
Linvill, secretary; S. E. Walker, treasurer;
and the three together constituting the first
board of directors.
The Eureka machine works have add and
now machinery to their plant, all of whicn
is run by steam, and are turning out a
quaitity of work equal to any made by the
northern factone*.
FLORIDA'S DEBT.
An Erroneous Statement Officially
Corrected.
Tallahassee, Fla., July 14.—A rumor
having gained currency that the floating
debt of Florida had been steadily increasing
until it had reached an amount something
like $500,000, the Morning News corre
spondent started out this morning to investi
catothe matter and learn wnal foundation
there was upon which to build such a state
ment. The state officials received the
Morning News man in a courteous man
ner and kindly permitted him to look into
the state’s financial affairs, giving him ail
desired informati' n. The fact is, there is
not a word of truth in the rumor. Florida
has no fl jating debt.
THE STATE’S BONDS.
There are only $372,000 of Florida's bonds
outstanding in the hands of individuals.
These bonds command a high premium,
and if they were to become due to-day the
state conld easily fund tnem at a very low
rate of interest.
Owing to the fact that the present consti
tution does not allow the issuing of more
bonds, the state, by legislative sanction,
borr owed SIOO,OOO at a low rate of interest,
which is due next May. This was done to
meet some extraordinary appropriations by
the legislature.
FLORIDA’S WARRANTS.
Florida’s warrants are always cashed
upon presentation, and, taking into con
sideration the small amount of her lionds
outstanding in the hands of individuals,
and her resources, there is no state in the
union worthy of a sounder financial
rating.
It is true that the new constitution, which
throws all of the cost of criminal prosecu
tions upon the state formerly borne by the
counties, has operated to the detriment of
Florida; it has not reduced county taxation
and has increased the burdens of the state.
When these costs were paid by the counties
the county authorities scanned the bills
more closely, thus illustrating another
advantage of local self-government.
THE LAST LEGISLATURE.
It is generally conceded that the legisla
ture o£ 1889 was somewhat careless and
extravagant in making appropriations, but
the people are di-cussiug these matters, and
will carefully instruct their representatives
in the legislature of 1891, seeing to it that
they open business at the same old staud,
but under the banner of low taxes and
strict economy in the affairs of government.
There are several little but important
matters in the new constitution that will
have to be amended before the state gov
ernment of Florida can be conducted in
accordance with the economic system de
sired Dy those who hold the reins of govern
ment.

CORPSES IN THE TIOGA.
Two Mora Bodies Found Floating In
the River.
Chicago. July 14.—Two more bodies
were found floating in the river to-day near
the scene of Friday night’s explosion on
the steamer Tioga. They wore those of
Edward Fxtzgibboi of Buffalo, a waiter on
the boat, and Thomas Lawrence, a deck
hand. This makes twenty-two so far re
covered.
It is known that twenty-five persons lost
their lives by the explosion, which would
leave three bodies uurecovered, but this
makes no account of unknown roustabouts
lounging on the boat at the time, so that the
total fatalities may be considerably larger.
The Tioga will be patched up here and then
taken to Buffalo for final repairs.

It Into the Cuban Market—Blaine
Protests Against Opening Our Doors
to Cuban Sugar Unless Concessions
Are Secured.
Washington, July 14. —The following
letter from Secretary Blaine was received
to-day by Senator Frye:
Bab Harbor, Mb., July 11. 18D0.
Dear Mr. Frve—l have just received intelli
gence from the highest commercial authority
in Havana that American flour, under the new
duties imposed by Spain, cannot reach the
Cuban market under a cost of sll 46 per carrel,
counting the snipping price in New York at
$4 so per barret. Spain bolds the market for
herself and is able to send European flour at a
price which totally excludes American flour
from the markets of Cuba aDd Porto
Rico. Other articles of American growtn are
likewise taxed by Spain to the point of prohi
bition. This one-sided commerce will seriously
injure the shipping routes which are still in
American hands large y, if not exclusively. It
would certainly he a very extraordinary policy
on the part of our government just at this time
to open our market, without charge or duty, to
the enormous crops of sugar raised in the two
Spanish islands. Cuba and Porto Rico furnish
the United States with nearly or quite one-half
of the sugar which we consume, and we are far
larger consumers than any other nation in the
world. To give a free market to this immense
product of the Spanish plantations at the
moment Spain is excluding the products of
America from her market would be a policy
unprecedented as well as unwise. Our trade
with the American republics, as well
as with the West India islands, has
been for many years in a mo't
unsatisfactory condition. The aggregate bal
ance of trade with all 1 atin America is heavily
against us. A single illustration will suffice.
Since we repealed tne duty on coffee iu 1872 we
have imported products of Brazil to the extent
of $821,806,000 and have sold to her only $ 156,-
135.U00 of our own products. The difference—
s664,67l,ooo—we have paid in gold or its equiva
lent and Brazil has expended a vast sum in the
markets of Europe. You can readily see how
different the result would have been if in return
for free admission of Brazilian coffee in our
markets we had exacted free admission of cer
tain products of the United States in the Bra
zilian market. To repeal this error witn sugar
(to an am aunt three times as large as with coffee)
will close all opportunity to establish reciprocity
of trade with Latin America. The charge
against the protective policy which has injured
it most is that its benefits go wholly to the
manuf cturer and capitalists, and not at all to
the farmer. You and I well know that this is
not true, but still it is the most plausible, and
therefore most hurtful argument made by the
fre* trader. Here is an opportunity where the
farmer may be benefited. Primarily, un
deniably. richly benefited. Here is an oppor
tunity for the republican congress to
open the markets of 40,090,000 of
people to the products of
American farms. Shall w-e seize the oppor
tunity or shall we throw it away? I do not
doubt that iu many respects the tariff bill pend
ing in the Senate is a just measure, and that
most of its provisions are in accordance with a
w ise policy of protection.
But there is not a section or line in the entire
bill that will open the market for another
bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork. If
sugar is now placed on tne free list without ex
acting important tr.de concessions in return
we si all close the doorfor profitable reciprocity
against ourselves. 1 think you will find
some valuable hints on the subject in the Presi
dent's brief message of June 19. with as much
practical wisdom as was ever stated in so short
a space.
Our foreign market for breadstuffs grows
narrower. Great Britain is exerting everv nerve
to secure her bread supplies from India, and
the rapid expansion of the wheat area in Russia
gives us a powerful competitor in the markets
of Europe. It becomes us, therefore, to use
every opportunity for the extension of our
market on both of the American continents.
With nearly $100,000,000 dollars worth of sugar
seeking our market every year, we shall Drove
ourselves most unskilled legislators if we do
not secure a larze field for the sale and con
sumption of our breadstuffs and provisions.
Tne late conference of the American re
publics proved the existence of a common de
sire for closer relations. Our congress should
take up the work where the international con
ference left it. Our field of commercial de
velopment and progress lies south of us. Very
sincerely yours. James G Blaine,
To Hon. IT. Frye, United States Senate.
