RECORDER GOFF TALKS
ABOUT ANARCHY AND
FRENCH REVOLUTION
SPEECH CAUSES
A BIG SI.
NEW YORK RECORDER SAYS THE
ARISTOCRACY ARE THE
REAL ANARCHISTS.
Nobles Amuse Themselves in Luxury
and Wealth, He Says, While
the Poor Starve.
New York. Jan. 15.—Recorder Golf
delivered an address before the Nine
teenth Century Club on “Anarchy,”
today, which is attracting considera
ble attention here. In part the re
corder said:
"For us who are gathered here in
this well-appointed and beautiful
chamber, under the glare of electric
lights, it is perfectly proper to agree
that anarchy is abominable. We
would be false to our surroundings if
we did not We are all well dressed
and pretty well-to-do financially, and
it is only natural for us to take tne
position of the party in possession. 1
think we assume a little too much if
we make the mistake of congratulat
ing ourselves on the present state of
our society or our position in it. The
aristocracy and nobility of France
took the same position just before
-the revolution in regard to What they
balled their rights, put was it not
their lives which caused {hat bloody
revolution? The nobles amused them
selves in luxury and wealth while the
poor starved. Who were the anar
chists? The people or they? The
nobles, and not the people, were the
anarchists. You cannot extirpate*
ideas by legislation. Laws never
made men and women virtuous. Do
not endeavor to repress an idea. If
an idea is right it will triumph and
repressive methods will prove only
so much fuel to feed the flames. When
wrong, ideas die of themselves, fn
dealing with anarchy let us remem
ber tnat if our government is founded
on righteousness, then anarchy is a
craze, and this craze will pass as
have other crazes in the world's his
tory.”
NITROGLYCERINE EXPLODES
WITH FEARFUL RESULT
A Big Hole in the Ground All That
Was Left to Tell the Story.
Marion, Ind., Jan. 15. —Fifteen hun
dred quarts of nitro-glycerine stored
in two magazines owned by the St.
Mary’s Torpedo company and the Em
pire Nitro-Glycerine Company, two
miles and a half southwest of this
city, exploded at 1:30 this morning,
shaking the entire northeastern part
of the state.
Business blocks and dwelling houses
shook and swayed as if rocked by an
earthquake and the entire city was
aroused. A yawning hole in the bot
tom of the ravine was all that was
left to tell the story. It is thought
the explosion was caused by a gas
jet which set fire to the buildings.
So far as is known no one was in
jured. The nearest house was half a
mile away and the occupants escaped
serious injury.
Telephone inquiries received indi
cate that houses were shaken fifty
miles away.

WOULD-BE LYNCHERS
SHOOT AN OFFICER
Mob Makes Desperate Assault on a
Kentucky Jail.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 15. —Sixty
would-be lynchers attacked the jafT
at: Flemingsbnrg, near here, - before
daylight. The jail was stoutly defend
ed by a strong guard under Sheriff
Colline and an exciting time fol
lowed.
The object of the lynching party
was to get Charles Gaskins, colored,
who killed James Ryan last summer.
When the mob made a demand for
Gaskins the sheriff refused and the
mob attempted to take the negro.
They could get no further. Windows
were broken in the hope of making
an entrance, but this proved futile.
Finally dynamite was used. A car
tridge of the exposive was thrown,
but fell short. One of the guards
ran to get it, and was shot and wound
ed by the infuriated mob. As day
was breaking the would-be lynchers
disappeared.
Governor Beckham this morning
ordered the Frankfort military com
pany and a detail of the Lexington
battery to Flemingsbnrg to protect
the negro.
SHOULD CHANGE SCHEDULE.
Southern Train Never Arrives on
Time These Days.
It would be a good idea for the
Southern Railway to change its sched
ule between Atlanta and Brunswick,
and then our citizens would not ex
pect their mail two or three hours
before it arrives.
For the past month both the morn
ing and evening Southern trains
have been reaching Brunswick from
one to four hours late. It is not oc
casionally that the trains are late;
but an every day occurrence.
The fact of the matter is, as a News
reporter understands it, the Southern
simply has on a faster schedule be
tween Atlanta and Brunswick than
they are able to make, and our people
are greatly inconvenienced by it.
PIONEER TELEPHONE BUILDER.
Mr. Charles Now in This
City, Erected First Line in South.
Mr. Charles Claybourn, who is now
in this city, supervising the erection
of telephone wires, is probably the
pldest telephone man in the country.
Mr. Claybourn erected the first tele
phone wires in the south at Mobile,
Ala., over 24 years go, and he has
been actively engaged in the business
since that time, and has worked in
nearly every city in the south.
Mr. Claybourn is also the oldest
employe of the southern Telephone
Company, and will shortly be placed
on the pension roll by that company.

a great deal, to promote the good re

BRUNSWICK'S BAR
PAYS FITTING
TRIBUTE
RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF
JUDGE ROBERT FALLIGANT
PASSED YESTERDAY IN THE
COURT ROOM.
JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS ALSO
PAY A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
TO THE DECEASED JUDGE—TRI
BUTE GIVEN IN FULL.
The following was read and adopted,
in the superior court room yesterday
afternoon.
To the Hon. Joseph W. Bonnet,
Judge Superior Court,
Brunswick Judicial Circuit:
The undersigned, the committee of
the Bar of Brunswick, appointed by
Your Honor to recommend suitable
action in honor of the memory of our
deceased brother, Judge Robert Falli
gant, respectfully report the following
tr.omorial:
Our brother, an officer of this court
in the years gone by, a practitioner
oi this circuit, and this court, and in
the last years of his life wearing the
robes of judicial office, purely and
worthily, wronging no man, yielding
to every man in the hight forum of
public justice according to his best
judgment, his dues, commanding by
his lofty ideas of right and justice,
deepest reverence and respect for the
judiciary, has fallen asleep. In tnat
final court he must receive a merciful
judgment, for he is to he judged by
the judgments he gave. It was a
pleasure to practice law in the courts
presided over by him. While order
ever obtained, yet it was ever a love
feas£. There was no military disci
pline in his court. It had its place
in war and he was there and knew
it. There was no rebuking, no order
ing, no dictating to his bar. They
were treated as equals. He made his
bar what the old judges made the bar,
and what it ever should he, the offi
cers, the parts, the equals of the
court, the only way to make a bar
useful and good, and high and great.
One of the chief reasons which has
made the Savannah bar, over which
he ar.d the like of him have presided
so long, second to none in ethics, and
in practice, and in point of legal at
taiument. The lawyer who wearied
him with an oft read decision or a
repeated argument, realized the fact
only when the bar would assemble
ar the judge’s room that night, when
the judge would tell a fitting anec
dote at his expense. Your committee
enjoyed the very great pleasure of
sometimes practicing law in his cir
cuit, and the judgment of disappro
val, whether upon your pet proposi
tion, or hasty objection, was said so
kindly and in such manner, as that
you felt there was at least merit in
it, and the crowd was never admon
ished that there was none, but rather
the impression he created that the
court itself was in doubt. Everybody
who knew Judge Falligant and whose
love was worthy, learned to love him.
When the Rev. Sam Jones went to
Savannah and made war on courts and
jurors and officers, he came away in
love with Judge Falligant, and since
hiß death has paid a noble and beauti
ful tribute to his memory.
The tired body and the weary brain
which clung to the active performance
of the duties of nis office, alas, too
long, with a sense of duty not less
strong than that which gave him
amid the storm of shot and shell at
Marye’s Heights, Gold Harbor, imper
ishable renown, are at rest.
The forgetfulness of self, the devo
tion to others which on those Marye’s
Heights, where his battery was deal
ing out death, led him to stop its
firing, and facing almost certain
death, rush between the lines and
hear the wounded body of an enemy
to a place of safety, a deed so brave,
so generous, that the hell of war was
hushed in impulsive reyerence for a
great act grandly done, was charac
teristic of his life.
An orator of magnetic quality in
whatever form he exercised it, master
of humor and pathos, too gentle of
heart to knowingly wound an oppon
ent, he was in all his career, that

ADMIRAL SCHLEY AS THE
GUEST OF KNIGHT TEMPLARS
Savannah, Ga., Jan. IT. —This has
been a very quiet day with Admiral
and Mrs. Schley. They spemt the
morning and the afternoon at the
home of their host and hostess, Gen
eral and Mrs. W. W. Gordon, resting
after the many social attentions that
have been shown them during the
week.
This evening Admiral Schley will
he the uest of Palestine Commandery,
Knights Templar, and will witness the
conferring of the Order of the Temple.
The Order of the Red Cross is to be
conferred before the arrival of the
guest of the evening. At 10 o’clock
there will be a reception by the
Knight Templars complimentary to
Admiral and Mrs. Schley at Masonic
Temple.
noblest product of our highest civili
zation, a gentleman, a word which
means so many things, as true man,
honest man, loving man, and so he
earned this tribute, which is worth
the long struggle of a life time to
earn, and which we, in common with
all who know him, sadly, reverently
lay upon his grave “that he made the
world better for his life In it.”
Great lawyers may have adorned
the bench and bar than he, hut truer
men, more honest men, with higher
ideals of both bench and bar, and their
noble place in the world's history,
never have lived than he.
It was a favorite expression of
Judge Falligant that, when nis bark
put out from shore he would have
no mourning in the port, and that he
hoped to meet his Pilot face to face.
And the Great Pilot who died for men
must have safely conducted into the
harbor the bark carrying tne soul
which had offered life for his fellows.
And in that land where there are
gathered such soldiers as David and
Saul arid Bruce and Washington, and
Grant and Lee, there must have been
someone ready and willing to come
out between the lines and conduct
him to a place of safety.
The members of this committee,
and many other members of this bar,
knew him intimately, of his public
life all Knew, for it was an open book;
and now this liar, in loving reverence
for his many virtues, places this tri
bute on his grave.
C. P. GOODYEAR,
Chairman.
LOURTLAND SYMMES,
W. E. KAY.
Committee.
After the reading of the resolution
by the chairman, eulogies were deliv
ered by Attorneys W. E. Kay and D.W.
W. Krauss, and a touching address
made by Judge Seabrook, of the Atlan
tic circuit* who had been presiding
in the superior court during the early
part of the day. In adopting the res
olution and ordering same spread on
the minutes of the court, Judge Ben
net, in a few well chosen words, paid
a beautiful tribute to his deceased
brother on the bench.
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
MANY MULES
FOUNDJLOATING
VESSEL ARRIVING AT NEW OR
LEANS REPORTS HAVING
SEEN DEAD MULES.
A British Transport is Now Overdue
and It is Thought That She
Has Been Destroyed.
New Orleans, Jan. 15. —It is be
lieved in shipping circles here that
the British transport laden with Amer
ican mules, bound for South Africa,
has been either interceptede and
blown up by a Boor spy in the Gulf
of Mexico or has foundered. A
schooner arriving on the lower coast
reports hundreds of dead mules float
ing for a distance of thirty miles.
The more conservative elements at
tribute the floating carcasses to a dis
aster to one of the British vessels dur
ing the storms of the past week. Dis
patches rom Quintan, Texas, which
is only a short distance south of Fort
Bads, says the schooner Olga put in
at Matagorda bay for shelter from a
fierce gale that is blowing on the gulf
and that Captain Peters reports hav
ing seen long rows of cattle and mules
floating in the water. He describes
the range of dead stock as covering
at least thirty miles.
Matthew Warring, of the Eider
Dempster Steamer Company, which
furnishes many of the British trans
ports, states that all their transports
are accounted for except the one sail
ing from here three days ago. The re
cent attempt to blow up the British
transport Mechanican.at this port is
recalled by those persons who incline
to the opinion that the British trans
port has been blown up. The atteinpt
to destroy the Mechanican was charg
ed to Boer agents.
ANOTHER CANAL PLAN
OFFERED TO SENATE
“Mandigo Route” Will be the One
to be Proposed.
New York, Jan. 15. —Plans for the
new ship canal will be presented on
Thursday to the senate committee,
by General Edward W. Serrell, for
the American Isthmian Cana! Com
pany, and the Isthmian Company, both
corporations of New Jersey.
The route for the canal proposed
is from the Gulf of San Bias to the
Pacific ocean, behind the Pearl Is
lands, and is called the Mandigo
route. It is to be proposed that the
company build the work under the
supervision and protection of the gov
ernment without any cost to tho
United States, which will he asked to
guarantee the bonds of the company.
The company will propose that the
government will have the use of the
canal free of charge for all govern
ment vessels, and, if at any time the
company does not .Jo as agreed, tho
government shajl take possession of
the canal.
The company asserts that it has
secured the right of way. The newly
suggested route is less than thirty
miles long, and therefore shorter than
any other so far proposed.
PRESIDENT IS FOR PEACE.
No War While He is Cooped Up in
the White House.
Washington, Jan. 15. —Two Boston
men who called on the president last
week took occasion to say that they
had heard that there might be trouble
with some foreign countries over the
Monroe doctrine, and they felt that
they should express the hope that the
president woti.d endeavor to preserve
peace.
“War!” exclaimed the president.
"Do you think I’m going to have a
war while I’m cooped up here in the
white house? Well, I guess not.”
