BIG OIL COMPANY HAS BEEN ORGANIZED HERE 10 HAVE CAPITAL OF $5010,00 — — SOME OF BRUNSWICK’S LEADING CITIZENS ARE INTERESTED AND IT WILL MEAN A GREAT DEAL FOR THIS CITY. THE PETITION FOR INCORPORA TION IS PUBLISHED TODAY. COMPANY WILL BECIN WORK P AS SOOON AS POSSIBLE. A News reporter railed on 001, O. I’. Goodyear, who bas been active in the preliminary work loading to the grant of this charter, for such statement as he felt justiffeil in making at this time, s s to the purposes of the company. He sad there was very little to say; that the charter was self explanatory. That all it seemed desirable to add was that the paint oil and varnish and other preparations which may he manu factured by the company are the in vention of Mr, W . E. Dempster, of this city, who has been experimenting for many years, made many tests of his oil on buildings here, some of which are over seven years standing ; that in this climate, which is especially hard on all classes of paints, the paints made from the Dempster oil have stood remarkably well, such tests lining certified by re putable and disinterested citizens: that tests had been and were being made in New York eity and in a number of cities in Georgia and Alabama, and that the certificates so far given were very satisfactory; that these tests would seem to justify the belief that this oil wiL prove 'alisfeetorv wherever linseed' oil can lie used in jiuiut; that it lias sjiccuil preservative qualities on all classes of iron, tin, steed and other metal work; that tests are being made of its qualities in salt w ater as a preservative from the torepo and a preventative of fouling on vessel, and otherwise ; that he company will commence business in a quiet way and extend it as the demand increases, asking no favors, only asking fair treat ment from the city. Col. Goodyear has some statistics gathered from oil jobbers in the linceed trade, as to the amount of linceed oil used in the United States, which is es timated at 50,000.000 gallons or I,ooo,otin barrels per year used in various classes of piaints besides large quantities of adulterated oils of various sorts used as substitutes for linceed oil. Col. Goodyear was asked how the prii-e would compare with linceed oil, aud his reply was that it would he very much cheaper. He also said that he desired to makv no extravagant claims for this oil, but preferred that actual tests aud the certificates of those who had made them should speak for the merits of the procuet. Following is the petition for iscor poration of the company. STATE OF GEORGIA, COUNTY OF GLYNN. To the superior court of said county: The petition of C. IJ.1 J . Goodyear, Sr. C. Downing, W. E.

CITY COURT ACQUITS WILSON —* — AN INTERESTING CASE TRIED IN THE CITY COURT YESTER DAY AFTERNOON. Charles Wilson Succeeded in Get ting an Acquittal—Was Tried On a Serious Charge. The interesting trial of Chas. Wil son, charged with lareenoy, and the disposition of his case by a verdict of “not guilty,” were the features of the city court yesterday. Circumstances connected with this case have made of it one of the most interesting of its kind in the criminal history of the county in some time. Headers of Tne News will recall the many and varied stories connectejd with tne brief career of the young man who a jury exonerated and who was reloasud last night from an irksome incarseration intlre Glenn p ounly jail, covering a period of several weeks. The charge® against young Wilon were that he was a ‘ sharp” and “confidence" man of tne extreme clever kind. It was charged that he would enter a residence and aided in schemes by wearing rubber bottom shoes, would make almost the com plete rounds of the house without being discovered. If discovered, it was al leged, he would offer in explanation for his intrusion that lie was selling wigs and toilet articles and that he had entered the house after ringing and was in search for the occupants. He was also charged In connection with this of having stolen articles of value, including jewelry. Hut yesterday the charge entered against him by the state solicitor and upon which he was tried was that of robbing I)r . Cates’ drug store of sidy i • .ns. The chief prosecuting witness and the one upon whom the statci conducted its case was a small boy by the name of George Cassidy. The boys testimony was altogether against the white man, but, as he did not see Wilson take, the money, his evidence counted for but. little with the jury and it took them only a few minutes to malt,, up a verdict o' not guilty against the man. The cose attracted considerable at a,Mention and was stubbornly fought. Wilson was represented by Attorney D. W. Krauss. Two or three other cases of minor importance were diposed of during the afternon, of them being that of the state vs. Illon.l Gasway, who was charged with entering the cemetery and 's caling doviv tr nil different graves. The jury returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. The judge im posed a fines of $25. The court will convene at the us ual hour this morning and a num ber of cases will doubtless be dis posed of*during the day. ST. SIMON HAS A MURDER GLASGOW WILSON, A WELL KNOWN NEGRO, WAS KILLED SUNDAY NIGHT. Glasgow Wilson, a well known col ored! man of Glynn county and em ployed by the Hilton & Dodge Lum ber company on St, Simon, was killed Sunday night at Harrington, a small settlement of the island, by Henry Blue, another negro and also employed by the same firm. News of the fragely " 'll :li appears to have its share of sensational fea tures, reached Brunswick yesterday morning through a telephone messages to The Nows. Owing to Blue waving examina tion before Judge J. D. Gould, of St. Simon, tus barring a record of tes timon in the case, all the particulars are not known, though from general reports of the killing the saliant fea ture can ho mentioned as follows: The two mem were emplocd of the same firm and both had formed an attachment for a colored woman, who has for some time been a familiar fig ure about the mills. Blue’s infatua tion for the colored belle was a pa’r ticularly strong one, so much so as to excite the keenest and most bitter jealousy, i Wilson had been paying some at tention to tlie object of Blue's infat uation and had frequently been seen HOT DEBATES COME ON PHILIPPINE QUESTION by Blue in her company. He was With her a portion of Sunday, when the laborers were milmployed aud when Blue had hoped to have had the pleasure of a day with the object of affection. The man who did the killing brooded over the fancied wrongs from which he was suffering and Sunday night he determined to act, going to the woman’s house he found Wilson about 7 o’clock in the evening. A general querrel ensued, words were passed and Blue seized a large club and struck several blows and one on the forehead of Wilson did the work. Yilson’s skull was fractured and from the time the blow was inflicted it was knows ’ia* tkevoun toil i -an would die. . He lived tor five hours, during which time he was unconscious, and of course did not make a statement. Blue was brought to Brunswick yes terday and lodged in jail, where he will await i.ie convening of city court. Both the negroes enjoyed a fairly good reputation and sentiment among their fellow laborers is said to be evenly divided, with little or no ex citement among friends whose smpa tliies are on either side.

PRICE FIVE CENTS. TO TAKE PLACE IN THE SENATE —♦ — THIS MOOTED QUESTION, LIKE BANQUOS GHOST, WILL NOT DOWN-MAY COME UP THIS WEEK. GROVENOR LIKES A PARLIAMEN TARY BOUT NOW AND THEN. NEW RULES AS TO FLOOR OF THE SENATE. Wash ing to, May 5. hitter feeling which was engesdered by the debate on the Philippine tariff bill still hovers t around asd: on the Philippine tariff bill still hovers about tlie senate, and, although at times it may appear to be dissipated, yet there will be outbreaks occasional ly. As long as the South Carolina sen ators are under the senate’s displeasure there will be echoes in the senate cham ber of tlie circumstances which led up to their altercation and the subsequent order of the senate declaring them to be in contempt. There are u number of measures to be considered yet which will bring out party disagreements, and later the Philippine government bill will cause a renewal of the discussion concerning those islands. As the de bate grew warmer in the senate many senators became intensely interested, aud in Hie last few days they did not get an opportunity to say all they wished. This was especially tlie case the last day, when the senate operated under the fifteen minute order. A num ber of Philippine speeches were “bot tled up,” so to speak, fur future occa sions. And so we may ex pee? some rather hitter party discussions during the coming weeks ' Likes a rignt.

A member of any foreign parliament or legislature is entitled to admission to the floors of the senate or the house. That was why Prince Henry was ad mitted to the floor of the senate. The prince is a member of the upper coun cil of the German reichstag. “What every senator needs,” says Senator Clay of Georgia, “is a first class clerk to take care of bis cor respondence. I am not one of those men who tear up their letters, but answer every one, and it takes the best part of my time.” unanimous Consent. When an agreement is reached In the house by “unanimous consent”—that is, without objection by any member— it is like an order or rule of the house. Tlie speaker enforces it as rigidly as he does any other rule, no matter what it may do. In the senate these agree ments are frequently made, especially as to fixing a time to vote, and al most universally they are adhered to by everybody, even by those who were not present when the agreement was made. Once or twice these agreements have been broken to the extent of dis cussion, but usually such discussion is upon a point of order or a question of privilege, which presiding ottieers hold can be discussed. In fact, President Pro Tern. Frye bolds that an agreement by "unanimous consent" must be obey ed by the senators themselves and not enforced by the presiding officer. “Physical Culture DeDartment.” A Prominent Visitor. J. O.
