That Gentlemanly Burglar. The recent capturing and killing i of burglars has not yet gotten the j entire force. ‘The gentlemanly bur glar,” as he -is known, is still at large. He visited Mr. Michaelis Kaiser’s residence last Saturday night prssed right by a nice, fat, un cooked goose on the table, and a lot Park Policeman J. W. Fish shot himself last Saturday with a 38 cali bre Smith A Wesson pistol whilst seated in a chair in his kitchen. Mrs. Fish has been away for some time visiting relatives and friends in I of silver-ware, ransacked a number New York and Kentucky, Miss El- j of fancy boxes up stairs containing la Fish, the daughter, was married gloves, etc., but took nothing. Corn- two days before to Mr. Jas.McRcn, of Macon, so there were none of the family at home, except Mr. Fish. A gentleman named Barnard and his family’from Florida occupy rooms up stairs in Mr. Fish’s house. About seven o’clock in the morning Mr.llar- nard heard the report of the pistol, and found on coining down stairs Mr. Fish seated in a chair in the kitchen, pistol still in hand nnd his head leaning back against the win dow, with a ghastly hole in his right temple and the blood and brains ooz ing out. Policeman Dubberly was soon on the ground and took charge. The writer got to the uecnc shortly after, and found that life was extinct. Miss Rosa M. Fulcher, china (hand* i „„ , , „ painted) card stand. lltosc "'ho have seen most of him lately, state that he has been quite low spirited of late, saying that he would lose his place as Park Police man in the new deal in polities this winter,and that lie has been drinking heavily of late. Wc could find no writing of any kind except an unsealed envelop on the bureau in his room, addressed to Mrs. Jas. MeRca, No. 454 Oak street. Macon, Ga., containing a post office notice of registered letter in post of fice for Miss Ella Fish. ingdown stairs, he found in the hall way Mr. Kaiser’s wet coat, vest and shoes that lie had taken off on com ing home late Saturday night. These he took out on the back porch,search ed them carefully for filthy lncre, and finding none, threw them down and went away disgusted. In view of his consideration in not carrying off that fat Snuday dinner goose, Mr. K. says we can inform him that if he returns next Saturday night he may find a nice lunch spread on that same table and a fine Havana to taper oft on. More Churches. Rev. A. G. I’. Dodge Las placed with Cook Bros. A Co., orders for lumber for three buildings, two churches and a Rectory, all of which will be put up in Brunswick. One of the churches will be a mission church for the whites in the upper end of town, the other edifice and the Rectory will be located at the corner of Monk and Albany streets, adjacent to the present St. Athanasius school building. These buildings will be erected by Mr. Dodge out of funds in his possesion for that purpose.. He lias mapped out a big work in this seaeoast section, all of which will be under his immediate super vision- His whole heart seems to be in this mission work, which he is pushing vigorously forward. Georgia Syrup. Our notice yesterday brought fruit immediately. The ink had hardly dried before Mtssrs. Moore & Me Crary got in a barrel from Waynes- ville. and is offering same to-day at retail, and John M. says “tell the people that we have got the buck wheat to go with it.” Buckwheat cakes ami Georgia svrup, a dish fit for a king! “TK Oct. 1st, 1888, High Prices Tables—when the Parlor and Ovstor Saloi Those Lumps. We despise the chronic, grumbler, but being a newspaper man to whom the public continually come to have its wrongs righted, we often appear in that light. Our attention has been called within the last 24 hours to the condition of our gas lights along our streets. The lump at the corner of Union and George streets is oqt lit more than half of the time, or does not retnnin Tit, and it was not burning last night. The one at the corner of Union and Mansfield last night gave about two candle power Some others burned brighter, but that wc saw hud a sickly look, and needed attention. Unless somethin is done to remedy this evil somebody will lay on an injunction on the city for paying for said lights, and then there will be another law suit. Wc arc paying a good price for gas and ought to have the value of our money. We learn that some of the Aldermen are getting worked up on this sub ject, so we may look out for a dash at the contractors when the Council next meets. Mr. W. E. Burbage, President of the Gas & Water Co., says his retorts arc too small for the work’ and new ones are now being put in. A Great Need. Among our great needs now is an information bureau. Every’ day brings one or more letters of inquiry concerning the city. Every party writing, states his intention of com- g here this winter. Two ladies, from upper Georgia, write, “please engage us rooms.” A gentleman from Illinois says: “I am coming to your city’ as an ad vance guard for myself and neigh bors, to spy out the land. Please engage borfrd for myself and wife. If your city is what it is represented to be, “wc will stay with you.” An other, “we arc coming sure.” And so on, every day brings inquiries and no one to answer the hundred and one questions nsked. To all these people wc would say, send twenty-five cents about Decem ber first for a copy of the Brunswick Trade Pamphlet, that will’ give you what information you need. All you read in its pages from the pens of the editors will he as absolutely true as it is possible to make it. A bureau of information should be by somebody. Wont State man undertake the More Than They Can Handle. The recent influx of vessels, some seventeen square riggers, all of which have to go to quarantine ground to discharge their ballast, have- put our Harbor Committee on their mettle to know what to do with them. So far our quarantine wharves have been sufficient for all that came, but not so now. The harbor committee went down to quarantine yesterday, and soon looked over the situation and relieved the pressure of vessels wishing to discharge ballast. Several vessels have already discharged, taking from twelve to tweuty four hours each, and by to-night the committee will have room for throe vessels at a time, and by next Monday or Tuesday all will be through, so that what seemed a great bug-bear has vanished and become as nothing. Sentenced. Peirce Superior Court finished up its labors last Saturday night with the following results: Henry Nelson, Fed Fling, Steve Nealy and Charlie Curry, nil colored, found guilty of gaming and sentenc ed to fines ranging from $10 or one month in jail to $75 fine or nine months on chain gang. Charlie .Johnson, also colored, and Charlie Williams, burglary, sentenc ed from three to ten years ill the pen itentiary. Oliver Tomlins, stabbing, twelve months in chain gang. Julius Hays, larceny from the bouse, 12 months on the chain gang. B. A W. Shops. It is a genuine pleasure to visit the B. A W. shops of this city—every thing moves on so nicely nnd smooth ly from the automatic en gine tothc humblest laborer—there is never a jar. We infer from this that the “bosses” are all reasonable men and have respect for the feelings of their men—hence their men are satisfied and work with a will. So unlike some of the establishments we read of where the men aro eter nally going on strikes because their employers arc trying to sap the very life out of them. Moral: Treat the men in your em ploy well and they will repay you every time, unless you find n hog in human shape. .Square Riggers. If square rigged vessels be an in dication of business, our people are surely doing something in that line. There arc sixtepn of those crafts now lying in our sound, ready to come up to their berths, besides tbosc already loading here and at St. Simons. These together with five or six steamships, a dozen or more schooners, etc., present quite an imposing sight—a regular fleet, re minding one of the harbor of some city that makes bigger pretentions than ours. The river steamers Swan and J.W. Sweeny were both at the B. AW. dock this morning, the former load ed and ready to start, and the other just arrived with more cotton. Su^Li'HING ELEGANT. The Brunswick Go. Laying out Big Work for the Improvement I of the City. / Mouths ago the ADVKiiTisEn-Ai’PEAL-^ hinted at some grand improvements to be inaugurated by the Brunswick Company on their property (eighty acres) in the eastern part of the city, and skirting on the Boulevard, what is known as Picnic Grove being a part of it. We are now pleased to state that the company are moving in the mat ter. Already two skilled engineers .have been over the ground, aud lo cated every tree of any size. Their work will now be turned over to an expert landscape gardener, who will at once lay it off. In the centre will be located the park or “Plaza do Ar- bos,” from which will open up, inser pentine shapes, avenues or drives all over the trnct, each having its own appropriate name, “Myrtle,” “Oak,” “Laurel,” “Palmetto,” etc, All that unsightly marsh between the grove and the Boulevard will be filled with earth, and the most charming place in the South made of that spot, which, by the way, is beautiful in its unadorned condition. The interven ing spaces between the drives will be sold for residences. This will lie built up ns a suburb of our city a veritable fairy land, such as nowhere exists on this continent—a small- sized paradise on earth. Besides parks, walks, avenues, etc., graceful fountains will be interspersed to add beauty to the scene. r COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. CALLED MEETING. Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 31,1S88. Council met. Present, His Honor, I). T. Dunn, Mayor, and members of Council liostwick, Madden, Pcnni- man, Fulton, and Atkinson. Absent, Bcrrie, Crovatt and Cook. His Honor stated that Council had boon called together to take into con sideration the matter of providing facilities for discharging vessels at quarantine, the present dock room being insufficient fob the number of vessels now there and waiting to dis charge ballast.

The matter of retaining Mr. Green longer as sanitary inspector was re ferred to the Board of Health. Council tiien adjourned. E. A. Nelson, Clerk of Council. Attached. 4 The steamship San Antonia, which was attached a day or two ago by U. S. Deputy Marshal Leavy at the instance of the Brunswick and South Atlantic Steam Towing A Wrecking Company, was released this morning on giving bond for $8,000. Messrs. C. Downing, Jr., and James Drury signed the bond. The steamship went to sea at 3 p. in. to-day. It seems the steamer got aground some time ago, and was towed off by the above Company. Disagreeing on the price, the above attachment was the result. A Sad Death. Mr. C. Churchill, a nephew of Capt. Churchill, President of Com press Co., died Wednesday of con gestion of the lungs, at the late resi dence of Capt. G. J. Hall. His re-1 mains left next afternoon for Yar mouth, Nova Scotia, where he was raised. Although among strangers I and miles from home, he was not I without friends in his last hours, to | minister to his wants. The Military Pair. The lady managers of the militnryl fair arc leaving no 3tonc unturned to| make the fair the biggest success of the season. They number among! their supporters some of the most in-| fluential ladies of the city. This; fact added to the backing given byl the “sojer boys” themselves, insur a grand affair.
