LAUNCHING A STEAMBOAT.
Brunswick Builds AnotherStoam
Boat, and Commits Her
to the Wares.
A steamboat launching in Bruns*
wick!
This iB*now the third wo have had,
but it is not yet become common
enough to excite no interest.
The new boat-is a steam launch
for Messrs. Mason A McCauley, the
pushing ship chandlers onBay street,
who will use her In their business.
And she !b a beauty.
Not more than a dozen people knew
that these young.g^ntlemen were con
templating such a bold step as build
ing a steamboat, and when „ she was
brought through .the city this mom*
ing on a large wagon, many people
opened'their eyes, and the questions
flew thick and fast
THE LAUNCHING
Took place at 12 o’clock, just in rear
of McClure’s planing mill, and was
witnessed, in addition to the gang
, of workmen, by Mayor ‘Dunn, Capt
Dixon, G. H. Merrifleld, J. P. Hughes,
Ben Borchardt/Hehty Williams, Jno.
Greer, Bill McClure, three ship Cap
tains, two reporters, the proprietors
and tho builder, and a half dozen
other persons.
Ed MaBon sat in her os eho slid
into the water, and, breaking the bot
tle on her bows, christened her |
“Janie,” in honor of |iiss Janie Gus-
tin, of Savannah, a friend of Mr. Geo.
McCauley.
She sat In the water like a duck,
and when the soribe came ayray.Mr.
Mason was talking about firing •*"
PPPf a trial tripT^-^ ’’ ’ 1
\ ' The little steamer is twenty-two
feet and six inches over all in length,
' . five feet beam, and draws about 20
t inches of water. Her model is ex
quisite, the old salts say, and they
t predict for her an easy and swift
movement She is provided with a
smal lmarine engine of four horse
power, with upright boiler, which
makes her eighteen inch propeller
spin around at a lively gait, and gives
a speed of about eight miles per
hour.
She is arranged to be run by two
men, one to steer, and one to tend
the engine, but it will be easy for
even a single man to operate her suc
cessfully. She is supplied with coal
bunkerB and water tanks so arranged
as to occupy very little space, and al
low the greatest possible room for
carrying q£aoity. She is a complete
steamboavwith signal bells, steer
ing wheel, and every requisite.
WHO BUILT HER.
Sho was built right here in Bruns
wick—fhat’B the best part of it—and.
sho was built by a Brunswick man,
Mr. H.,0. Tolnas, the ship^carpenter,
designed her in eveiy particular, and
1 built her from the keel up. MeBSrs.
Mason A McCauley told him some
months ago about what character of
" .boat was needed, and from this Mr.
TolnaSmade the model, drew the
plans and built the boat at his resi
dence on George street. Her timbers
areof live oak, copper fastened, with
cyress planking, and intended to be
, here for many years to come—as Mr.
' Geo. McCauley admiringly remark-
j ed: “Not a man-df-war in the IT. S.
navy is built any stronger than she.’!,
Mr. Tolnas is a practical ship-,
f \ builder, of many years experience, a
Norwegian by birth, who took up his
residence among us several years
■ ago* He has done considerable ship
and boat work in Brunswick, but this
takes rank above them all, .and re
flects great credit upon his skill.
All the iron work of the boat was
made at'Brisosniok’s fbnndiy under
the personal supervision of Mr. Geo.
McCauley. The, engine and boiler
.. alone were imported, and these Mr.
McCauley himself set up, and will
warrant that it is well done.
We congratulate the energetic pro*
prietors-on making such a bold step
in their business, but we believe they
will be more than repaid by tho ser
vice rendered them. Their business
is slmost exclusively with vessels,
and thus equipped a trip to a vessel
in the harbor or sound will , be of
small moment

An Artesian Well in Wayne.
Mr. M. A. Baker, went up this
morning to bore an artesian well, at
the new residence of Mr. P. H. Baker,
in Wayne county. The piping will
be four inches. Mr. Baker will spare
nothing to give his new house every
comfort and convenience that can be
procured.
We consider Col. Symmes’s scheme
for securing Brunswick a new and
commodious school building—a
thing she needs and must have—as
one of the wisest and best hits of tho
age. Queen square is practically no
value as a squrre to the city or any
body else, whereas cut up into busi
ness lots'it will be a valuable piece
of property, and readily sell for a
sum sufficient to build for us school
accommodations commensurate with
our needs. By all means let us ob
tain the necessary sanction, of the
Legislature. Let there be no delay.
Mr. T. Newman, Drum Major of

proud of them?

This is the main feature' Of the prop

ed it meets the approval of both
bondist and anti-bondist The whole
matter will be arangedby an ordi
nance now being prepared at the first
meeting of Council in November. In
the framing of that ordinance, as a
matter of course, both interests must
be guarded. Tho city must be guard
ed against imposition, and the rights
of tho party putting in tho money
must be maintained. We- trust the

IRSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1888.
She Did it with Her Toe.
Mrs Margaret Fox Kane says that
sho originated spiritualism, and she
did it mainly with her big toe. At
the Academy of Music, In New York,
on Sunday sight, she 'sot anly told
the vast audience gsthered there to
hear her expose spiritualism, how-she
made the raps, bat she showed them.
Mrs. Kane was one. of several sis
ters who, many years' ago', created a
profound sensation by claiming to
converse with spirits. They held
seances, and convicted thousands
that they were not frauds. The
rappings or the spirits, When called
upon bythese sisters, were regarded
as something marvelous. . .* ,
On Sunday night Mrs. Kane ^de
clared that spiritualism was a fraud,
and that she was heartily ashamed
of the part she had taken in deceit
ing people, and getting their money
by fraudulent means. She is now
getting the people’s money by show
ing them how she fooled them. Sho
stood upon a table in front of the
great audience and, with one of her
big toes, produced rappings wbioh
were distinctly heard in all parts of
the ball.£}She submitted to tests
that left no doubt that she was ac-
ing honestly.
Other tricks of the spiritualists,
such as writing messages on a slate,
mind reading and produoing oil
paintings, were explained..
It is remarkable that so many peo
ple should have been deceived into
bellving in spiritualism, but it -ii
morafe-aT*

sures of it th^t have been, made.
As Havana sends 60,000,000 cigars
annually to this country, the settle
ment of the cigarmaker’s strike
this season of caring for the new to
bacco crop, was very good news to
Americans who smoke fragrant Ha
vanas. Somehow or other, tho gen
uine Havana cigars made in this
country are not as good or as fra
grant as those niade in Havana.
A young man living in Ohio has
been sentenced to the penitentiary
for murder for a term of ninety-nine

old he will be a free man again. He

Three hundred miles an hour is
the proposed speed for the ‘electric
postal railroad of the fUtnre. An
experimental line has been erected at.
Laurel, twenty miles* fromBaltimbre.
A compromise between the pneumat
io tube and the ordinary^ railroad
carries a miuaturo train of two cars*
solely for mail and light parcels
without attendance. The road has
three rails, one above the car for
carrying the current and two below
which carry the cars. The ears are
built of sheet iron and are 2 feet
square and 21 feet long. Speed will
be regulated and power of brakes
applied by electricity solely^ If the
experiment at Laurel succeeds, it is
stated that similar roads will be
laid between Baltimore and Wash
ington and elsfewherc. ,*'
