BRUNSWICK. VS. SOLDIERS.. First of the Rail Games This After noon. Th* Brunswick and Tybee Post baseball teams rill play to-day the first of the I*o srames scheduled for to-day and to morrow*. The Brunswick team is an un usually strong--one, but :he Post nine has beeni picked from two teams that have been in constant practice 6ince the be ginning of the senson, and there is no doubt that It will give a good account of i.*elf. It is the enrhest desire of the managers of the games to make them as enjoyable, a? possible, and to this end thty have had the. ball grounds at Bolton street, where the game will be played, put in much better shape than it has been before dur ing the present season; the grass and weeds have been mowed, and the lines or the diamond remarked. It is expected that many ladies will be v attendance, particularly as no admis sion fee to the grounds wiil be charged them. The grand stand has a roof on ,t. and Its occupants will be protected from passed and foul balls by a wire netting, which extends sufficiently high to make accidents from this source impossible. The bringing of the Brunswick team here is a venture on the part of a local enthusiast of the national game, and upon the attendance and support that is accord ed him in the present series, will depend the possibility of other games being ar ranged for the remainder of the season. Should the attendance at this and to-mor row's game be sufficient to cover expenses, it is likely that games will be arranged with teams from both Jacksonville, and Fernandina. from both of which cities of fers have been made to come to Savan nah. The teams in this afternoon’s game will line up as follows: Post Team Brunswick. Watson catch Ballantyne Perneli or Dopson pitch Hollowed Ragman first hose Villineau McCresney second base Harper Ivey third base Weiss McDonough short stop Wolfe Ghent left field Garrett Jones center Held Kaphan McKarrell right field ’.... Philips Mr. John Downey will umpire. COCORAX VXD FIERCE. Another Boxing: Rout Will he Fulled Off at the Theater. Tommy Corcoran is to have another fight. He is now In Charleston, but it is expected that he will return to the city within a few days and that a match will be pulled off at the Theater. Arrange ments for it have begun, and it is expevA ed that it will one of the most in teresting ever seen here. Frank Pierce, the Louisville boy. who wrote some time ago to see what could be done In arranging a fight with Corco ran. is expected here to-day or to-mor row. All he wanted, he declared in his letter, was a place to do a little train ing, and that will be provided him by a lover of the fistic art, who liked the tone of his communication and was anxious to arrange something clever in the fighting line. From what is said of Pierce, it is be lieved he is in good form and that he will be able to give Corcoran all he will want in taking care of himself. Both men are in the pink of condition, and no time will be lost in training. Pierce fought a pre liminary on July 23 at Louisville, and there is no question about his being fit for another go. Corcoran is always in form. The few who know that the match has been arranged are looking forward to it with a great deal of pleasure. They be lieve there will be no difficulty in the mat ter of getting a crowd to see the fight, as everybody knows what Corcoran will put up in the way of a scrap. It is not thought that the warm weather will keep the crowd away. THREE EX-OFFICIO Jl STICKS. Ufvnn*, Mendel anil C leary Recom mended for lle-a p poi n t men t. The grand jury of the Superior Court recommended yesterday the reappointment of three notaries public and ex-officio jus tices of the peace whose terms have ex pired or are about to expire. Justice G. E. Bevans of the First Dis trict will have served his full four-years’ term next Wednesday, when his commis sion will expire. He was recommended for reappointment. Justice W. H. Mendel of the Sixth Dis trict. who has served twelve years in that district, was also recommended for reap pointment. Justice Mendel’s term has ex pired and he is holding over under this commission. W. H. Cleary of the Seventh District was the third justice recommended to succeed himself. There is a vacancy in the Eighth District which has not yet been filled. Justice Van R. Winkler's com mission expired last February. No appli cation for his reappointment has been made and he is holding over. The other ex-officio justices in the Second. Third, fourth and Fifth Districts have some time yet to serve. All of the appointments recommended yesterday were for four years. *— ♦ W ILL MAKE TENEMENTS. Work on the Hospital Building* Will Soon Commence. will be commenced in about a wrek on the army hospital buildings re cently bought from the government • by Mr. Carlton C. Champion. It is expect ed that three or four months will be re quired for the completion of the changes that are contemplated. Mr. Champion proposes to convert the buildings into small tenements. Some time ago he bought a portion of the tract upon w bich the buildings stand. Those that arc not within the limits of the portion he owns will be moved. There w’ill be a general change in the arrangement of r hc buildings, and partitions will be built in them to divide them Into dwelling houses of such size as would be demand by tenants of moderate means. The buildings are of such great extent ? ha: they will furnish dwelling space for TTla ny persons. Quite a large community "ill be established on the hospital site if Champion’s venture proves successful nnd all the houses are filled. is BEFORE THE RECORDER* Hrce Ficknninnles W hipped for Go ing in Swimming. Eighteen prisoners were before Record- Hartridge yesterday when court was "'nvc-ned. As usual, the greater number ' r up for being drunk and disorderly, though there were quite a number also 1 if had been arrested for driving hacks 'l'hout u license. These offenders were ‘ down with a fine of $1 each.

They were taken out to the sta bles in The rear of the station house, and in a.-few minutes *he synchronal sound of strap and scream informed the court that the sentence was being executed. Chris Rankin, white, for being helpless ly drunk on the street, was given thirty days on the poor farm. Yesterday the Central road was put on the information docket for having its track on River street, west of Bull, in an unsanitary condition on Tuesday. The case will be heard this morning. SUING THE STREET RAILWAY* \ Timborlake Claims to Have Suffered From Its Negligence. The City Court jury retired to Its room at 8:30 o’clock last night with the evi dence in the case of John Timberlake against the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway in its possession and with instructions to return a sealed ver dict, if it found it possible to agree. The case was on trial all of yesterday. Timberlake sued the company for $2,500 damages for personal injuries incurred by him in a fall from a street car, which he clairmd resulted from the gross negli gence and carelessness of the employes of the company. His contention was that while he was endeavoring to get off the car on Sept. 4, 1899, which had been slow ed down at his instance, at the corner of Broughton and East Broad streets, the c'ar was violently started forward by the motormun and he was thrown to the ground. His head was cut open to the scalp in two places and from these injuries and others he was confined to his bed for a period of three weeks. He wants compen sation for his pain and suffering, for the expense to which he has been put, and for the loss incurred by reason of his absence from his employment and puni tive damages, to deter the company from being so careless in future of the safely o: its passengers. The company contended that the facts of the case were that Timberlake had been drinking, and that when he reached the point at which he wished to alight, he attempted to jump off the car without signalling or requesting the conductor to stop. Furthermore, he jumped off back wards. and the result was that his head came in contact with the pavement in stead of his feet. Evidence in support of both contentions was introduced on yesterday, the witness es being examined by Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, -for the plaintiff, and by Mr. W. W. Oelxirne, for the defendant. Judge Twiggs and Mr. F. M. Oliver made the arguments fyiv the plaintiff, while Mr. Osborne presetted to the jury the theo ries of law, and fact upon which the de fense relied. The jury probably came to some conclusion during the night. FOUND FOR THE PLAINTIFFS. Bnt Armitage & Sliarpe Were Not Given All That They Claimed. The sealed verdict rendered by the jury on Wednesday night in the case of Armi tnge & Sharpe against Dr. S. A. White, war opened In the City Court yesterday morning. The verdict found for the plain tiffs In .the sum of $1,358.58, with Interest from January 22, 1900. The suit was for considerably more than the amount of the verdict, and of the amount for which suit was brought the defendant admitted an Indebtedness of $941. There were many questions in dis pute as to delays ill the construction of the houses which formed the basis of the action, the plaimiffs attributing the de lays to the defendant, ond the defendant, in his turn, ascribing them solely to the dilatory tactics of the plaintiffs. The jury evidently came to the conclu sion that neither party to the suit was en tirely without fault and sought to distri bute the blame for the delays and the re sulting loss equitably and Justly between them.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1900. THE SHIP ASTORIA. % Filot Taken hpne With Col. Avert 11. Editor of the Morning News: I wish to emphatically contradict certain statements of Col. J. H. Averlll. which appear in an editorial in the Charleston News and Courier of Monday, in reference to the waterlogged ship Astoria, which was picked up at sea, but could not bo taken across Charleston bar, and was brought to Port Royal for a harbor. Oui* Citizens' Committee made a mistake in saying that the Astoria drew 26 feet 10 inches. The •News and Courier copied this. It should have been 30 feet, lie (Averill) says the ship grounded on the Port Royal bar. and that she laid ashore two days and was pulled over the bar and through the *and by tugs. Now ,the statement is false. When the Astoria crossed Port Royal bar she was drawing 30 feet of water. The cap tain of the tug Confidence, James lgo of Charleston, told me the ship was drawing 26 feet of water, and when I got to the sea buoy, before she ever got to the bar, the ship stopped in 30 feet of water, and this the captains of the tugs Confidence and llercules can’t deny. The Astoria floated on the next tide, and the tugs towed her over the bar without touching bottom. I piloted the Asoria over the bar and up to Johnson river, and did not stop at Bay Point to lighten the ship. Col. Averill states that ships drawing 25 feet 6 inches were compelled to take two tides to go to sea from Port Royal. Why did he not state the truth? Port Royal Is eighteen miles from the bar, and when it is high water at Tort Royal it is one and a half hour ebb tide on the bar. As it takes about one and a half hours to get to the bar. that would place a ship at the bar at half ebb tide. Any seafaring man knows that deep-draft ships never cross a bar at ebb tide. The monitor Amphitrite did not go ashore at Port Royal bar. but on North Breakers, and had no pilot on board. A tramp steamer went over the bar on the same tide drawing 25 feet of water. Now, that he Is grinding his ax in Charleston and paying the same attention to securing comfortable snaps for self and family as he did when he had the pull down here, he finds it profitable to forget the past. Per haps he forgets the speech he made at the Sea Island Hotel before citizens of Beau fort and Port Royal at the time of his appointment as receiver of the Port Royal Railroad, when he spoke about Port Royal having the finest bar and harbor on the South Atlantic coast, and how he would do all in his power to get steamships to come to this port. How soon he has changed his views! Perhaps he has also forgotten how\ on the day the Indiana was docked and the town w r as crowded w r ith strangers, he ian a fence and put a gate the public free landing of the town, and made each one pay 25 cents to go through to reach the steamer which was to take them down to witness the docking of the Indiana.which he has so much to say about. Is it not a fact that he was paying more attention to the gate money than to the docking of a battlship? Perhaps,also.Col. John Henry Averill has forgotten—well we’ll keep this perhaps for our next load. John E. Kessler. Pilot, Ship Astoria. SHIRTSLEEVE MOVEMENT. A Case of Hygiene and Comfort vs. Fashion and Agony. Brunswick. Ga., July 25. 1900.—Editor Sa vannah Morning News, Savannah. Ga.: Fo-r the pure and simple reason that I de sire to give vent to my feelings for hu manity and thank you for the interest your worthy paper takes in publishing ar ticles relative to “anti- coat” clubs, I write you these lines. The success of this reform movement only depends upon a victory of hygiene and comfort vs. fashion and agony; and as the defendant’s testimony is only back ed by false pride and superstition, it is only needful to demonstrate that we are earnest and sincere about this matter, and that it is not to attract attention and de viate from morals or etiquette that we ap pear before the public in comon sense cos tumes, but for the sake of comfort and hu manity. Very respectfully, T. W. Causey. a 9 \ A New Orchard Company. Fort Valley, Ga., July 25.—J. B. James, C. B. James, M. L. Jame*. J. R. Kin ney, A. M. Parker and M. G. Tuttle have applied to the Superior Court of Houston county for charter rights incorporating them as the “James Orchard Company, ’ capitalized at ten thousand dollars. Th* objects of the proposed concern are to conduct a fruit growing business, manu facture peach crates and baskets, to op erate canning and evaporating factories, and to generally raise, handle and sell fruits and live stock. Yacht Huce at Beaufort. Beaufort, S. C., July 26.—The third re gatta of the season in these waters came off yesterday afternoon. Four yachts only, as follows, were entered, the Ray mond of Pori Royal and the Julia. Ber tha and Alice of Beaufort. When the start was made, at 2 o’clock p. m., the wind was northwest and the yachts had to tack as far as the naval station, but In the home stretch a % stiff quartering breeze enabled them each to show their good or bad qualities. As in the two former races, the Raymond outclassed Ihe others, and when she arrived at the starting point the other three boats could hardly be distinguished in the distance. Miss Maggie flnrniM Demi. Beaufort, S. C.. July 26.—Miss Maggie Harms, 16 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Harms, of this place, died here of congestion of the brain at 3 o’clock this morning. The young lady’s death is a peculiarly sad one. She had only recently returned to her home from Charleston, where she has been attend ing school and gaining honors that her fond parents and many friends here were proud of. The death of this bright young Christian has occasioned profound regret throughout this community. Will Atteud tlie Meeting. Atlanta.

I|V Ciumul I qj I > r-: | indiKc.Uon sii* - ! Jhi *flTTE” p n :r th * NEGRO’S HORRIBLE DEED. B< at and Scalded Hi* Child—Other Dnwion New* Note*. Dawson. Ga., July 26.—A negro, Andrew Bowden, from the southeastern portion of this county, was lodged in the Dawson jail recently for unmercifully whipping his 10-year-old daughter, and afterwards pour ing scalding water on her bleeding and lacerated body in order to cVeote the im pression that the child had scalded her self accidentally. It is not thought that the victim will recover from the injuries inflicted. The Dawson Crate and Box Factory has employed nearly 200 hands regularly since April, and ihc pay roll has exceeded SI,OOO a week. This enterprise, perhaps, means more to the city than any other in It, the results are appreciably felt by our mer chants who are sorry to note that the peach season is almost over. The Dawson fruit growers are now en gaged in shipping pears to the Northern and Western markets, and ate receiving fairly good returns. For several years this crop lias been considered a failure, owing to the fact that the market was too easily flooded, the crops being large and the receipts barely enough to defray ship ping expenses. Pears are now shipped in barrels and bring from $2 to $4 The capers of a pigeon which was caught in the hands on the dial of tlie city clock Monday afternoon attracted the attention of a large crowd of curious observers. The bird struggled to free itself from its en tanglement, but not until the big hammers struck the bells on the inside did it suc ceed in exerting enough strength to free itself from the hands of the clo-uk. The cotton crop is in very fine condition and the prediction of those who know is that the number of bales marketed will exceed those of any past season. A great deal of speculation has been caused among Dawsonites recently on ac count of two surveys which have been made by the Central of Georgia Railway between Arlington, in the southwestern portion of Calhoun county and this fvfint. The surveying tquad of the second line is now ni work within a few miles of the city. No one has yet been able to deter mine the object of either survey, and the outcome- is being watched with much in terest. It is thought by some that these surveys are nothing more than a bluff on the part of the Central to keep the Geor gia Hue Railway from making Dawson its northern terminus. b • PUTNAM RIFLES VOLI N PEER. Willing to Go to thinn-Mamlinl Who Need* n Bodyguard. Eaton ton. Ga., July 26.—The services of the Putnam Rllles have been tendered the government in the event of war with China. The tender was made yesterday by Capt. D. S. Thomas to Col. Thomaton of the Third Georgia Regiment. An amusing Incident was the outcome of the vote taken on this question by the company here. It is well known that Col. Thomason offered the services of the regiment and then wired the different companies to know how many would vol unteer. The Putnam Rifles was the la it company in the regiment to act on the question, and when the question was put there were but five men who were blood thirsty enough to volunteer. After this action the meeting adjourned sine die. The boys, however, were the brunt of eo much oanter from the people when their action became known, that a reconsid eration of the matter was had with the result stated. Thus the whole of the Third Regiment has volunteered for set vice in China, when there is little likeli hood of war, and there Is little probabil ity of its being called upon should wir come. A few days ago City Marshal Sanford’s revolver was stolen from him. On Sat urday night a negro was trying to sell a revolver to one of the merchants, who recognized the piece and sent for the marshal to identify it. Sanford, being on duty the latter half of the night, had retired to rest, and ns the night was sul try. had made hit? bed in the band stand in thq park. He was aroused, and while he was engaged in recovering the stolen pistol, some miscreant gathered the bed clothes from the band stand and took them off. And now Marshal Sanford's friends are thinking of petitioning the Council to give him a body guard. The shoe factory will begin operation* this week. Operatives have been coming In from different points every day this week, and the plant being in readiness, the first shoes will be made the latter part of the week. NOTED TURFMAN IN JAIL. Kefasetl to Fay Judgment of $5,000 to a Photographer. Lexington, Ky., July 26.—Maj. T. J. Car son, the noted turfman, proprietor of the Dixiana stud, is in jail here on a warrant charging him with refusing to pay a judg ment for damages found against him in the Circuit Court. The judgment is for $5,000, and is in favor of Photographer W. E. Singleton, whom Maj. Carson shot and wounded here two years ago In a difficulty over a photograph of Maj. Car son’s niece, Miss Mary Warfield, now Mrs. Percy Burrell of New York. Sin gleton has never fully recovered. Maj.
