Daily Adv BRUNSWICK, GEORG) I p« m i . '* T. G. .STACY & SON. PUBLISHERS. 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 As Seen by Cuffie. -Two hegro women on the earner of Newcastle and GloucesterStreets last Tuesday night discussed the eleotrio light They -admired its beauty and brilliancy, and thought how flue to be able to walk tinder such a beautl- fill light Suddenly one of them seemed to havecaugbtan inspiration and exclaimed:;- “Tankde Lord, do white people nebber know ’bout dls ting ’fore de wah, or dey would a worked we nig gers nite an’ day.” The Millltary Fair.

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 the Atlantic Band, left this morning for Columbus. He will remain until after the visit of our boys to tho Chattahoochee Valley Exposition. Mr. Newman will not be ashamed of his Brunswick -boys in his old homo —Columbus—but will, the rather, be proud of them? A Reliable Man. Jinks: “Johnson Wants to borrow $100 from me.- Is he good?” Binks: “Yes with proper securi ties.” Jinks: “What would yon suggest?” Binks: “A chain and padlock, a psir of handcuffs and a- dog. That would be enough, I think to hold him.” . WHITTAKER HAMS. Something Good—cannot be ex-' celled—just received genuine Whita ker hams. They are fine.' M. M.

The city to purchase same at a given time ii| the futi when it can issue bonds if desired, This is the main feature' Of the prop osition, and so far as we have learn 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 attorneys will look well into the mat ter and leave no loopholes for contro versy as in the present water 'and gas contract. Make tho-language so plain that there will be nt> necesity for tho Supreme Court to be com pelled to interpret. 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* the face of the numerous expo 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 years. Should he live to be 124 years old he will be a free man again. He should be very careful in his habits or he won’t live to that age. ESTABLISHED 1876. 'r'riroStfl Three hundred miles an hour is the proposed speed for the ‘electric postal railroad of the fUtnre.
