Happened Along, How ever, and Helped! Cut. Had it not been for the fact that an acciuent on the Seaboard occurred just at the right, time a. few nights ago, transportation on that road be tween Jacksonville and Savannah would have been blocked for several hours at least.. As the passenger and mail train which leaves Jacksonville at & o’clock arrived at Thairnann, the draw-head of the mail coach was pulled out and it was impossible to move the train. Fortunately the accident occurred) just at the right place, as the liruns and Birmingham engine was there and by using the Y the engine coup ler tlr mail car to the rear of the coach.

Respectfully, R. E. Hunter. BRUNSWICK, GA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1902. WILSON IS IN LIMBO - GAY LOTHARIO HAS A BRIEF LIB ERTY AND BREAKS IN JAIL AGAIN. Chas. Wilson, the young white man who has been in the county jail for a month, wuo has a natural- penchant for entering homes, and w'no was tried and acquitted on a charge of larceny in the city court on Monday, is in dur auce vile again, and if nis brief period of liberty and recent experience did not serve to remove him from the “primrose path of dalliance,” which it seems is his wont to tread. Indeed, the mortification of a trial for larceny seems to have emboldened Wilson, and as soon as lie was free again he donned and “dapper” raiment in which he first made fits appearance in Brunswick, visited the tonsorialist and the florist, and then, in correct J attire, with a tiny buttonaire of or chids on the lapel of his coat, he he started out to do t’ne town "do regur.” He frequented the haunts of the idle, imbibed freely at the tount of Bacchus, and soon was quite hilor ious in cups that sparkle. He remembered having left two re volvers at the jail, and, repairing there asked for and received his hat tey of artillery, and here he must have imagined himself a Freddie Fun ston in t'ne far away Philippines or a Roosevelt rough rider, charging El Galley’s Heights. Newcastle street was the line of battle and on reaching the intersection of Newcastle and Gloucester, he made a desperate charge on the imaginary enemy, pulled both of his mausers and began snap ping them right and left into the faces of passers-by. Sheriff Berrie was notified and be gan a seac'a for the conducing hero, finally, locating him at u hoarding house on A street, lie was arrested, on the charge of caryilig eonccalud weapons, was taken to the court house and placed on trial in stanter, the city court being in se siori. Atttorney D. W. Krauss was employ ed by Wilson and Solicitor Colson ap peared for the state, .he evidence brought out the fact that Wilson had guns concealed before his “charge” but it seems that the jury could not agree [and, after remaining out some timet, the court recessed until tins morning, Heaving instructions with the jnury to return a. sealed verdict. At midnight a bright light in the jury room indicate,l that the jury had not agreed. Wilson hails font Brooklyn, and seems to he a rather hard proposi tion. Sentiment is divided in his case however, and it is hard to t, II what tlm result will he. A TRIBUTE TO CAPTAIN KEEN. Col. C. P. Goodyear Writes of His Many Attributes. To tnose who knew Captain Keen well tlie announcement of his .sud den death came with a sense of deep personal loss. Who that has met him in the paist few years on the wharves of the Southern railway asd Mallory and Clyde lines will not miss this sturdy, manly man ? I have been thown in the years gone by into in timate relationship with him in the work upon the outer bar, not of days and weeks merely, but of years. Com petent, faithful, conscientious, doiffg his duty quietly, no man could be thrown long into intimate relation with him without learning to appre ciate those qualties which make the true citizen, the faithful friend, lov ing husband and father. He had the sweet gift of silence which would say nothing ill of his nirghbor if he could say nothinrlgood This very quality of reserve in speech led many w'no did not know him to think far other than he was, rough and unkindly in disposition, hut to all who knew him well his sterling character, kindly disposition ,manly devotion to his duty in all walks of life, commanded respect which with intimate acquaintance ripened into sincere affection. His devotion to home to wife and daughter were touching. Their loss is great and many hearts heat in deepest sympathy with them in their bereavement. C. P vroodyear. Launch For Hire.

ALASKA’S BOUNDARY GOVERNMENTS CAN'T AGREE BILL FOR DESERTERS—HOAR AND BERRIE HAVE IT. Washington, May (>.—lt is very prob able that we will always have an Alaska boundary dispute Ittt kill crop out on ail occasions when our re lations with the British government or Canada are under consideration. The modus vivendi or agreement between Secretary Hay and Lord Puuncefote provided for a temporary boundary, hut it is hard to see why that will not he practically a permanent boundary line. By the terms of the agreement > the “temporary” boundary is to lie | maintained until a “permanent” ar rangement ts made. As it is very doubtful whether the two governments can ever agree upon a permanent line, this means llmt the temporary line will he permanent. At all events, all nego- tiations fora permanent boundary seem to have been dropped. There have been remarks heard about the department of state Indicating that it was believed that tlie matter had been settled and probably we had heard the last of it. But that will not satisfy those earnest and perhaps over-zealous American cit izens who think that the Cubed Stales lias surrendered some of its territory. Therefore there will be murmurings from lime to time. Meanwhile, until both of the nations want a change, tlie temporary boundary will remain. Representative islayucn ot texas, a member of the committee on military affairs, told the house that there were pending before the committee 2.11U0 bills to correct the military records of men who were once in the t'nlon army during the civil war. He opposed one of those hills which the committee had reported and said that if the door was once opened these 2.11110 men who were upon the records ns deserters would receive pensions from the government. Mr. Slayden maintained that the rec ords of the war department should not he mutilated and records of deserters made , ,111 unless it was shown be yond all question that these men were in fact unjustly classed as deserters. He said Hint it was injustice to the men who served honorably throughout the war and were properly discharged to have skulkers and cowards given an equally honorable place beside them. This kind of talk will no doubt have a tendency to prevent consideration of these 2,000 hills to which Mr. Slayden referred. Loc aliy senator or representative ao anything out of the ordinary that will attract attention to him, and he is sure to lie flooded with letters by those who want a share in liis notoriety. Thus it happens that Representative Wheeler of Kentucky received hundreds of let ters Immediately after the delivery of Ills speech upon the visit of I’rinec Henry and the special embassy to the coronation of England's king. So also is the mail of Senator Tillman crowded with letters discussing his recent “af fair" with Ids colleague and the subse quent action of tin* president in with drawing Tillman's invitation to dinner Willi Prince Henry. Naturally these letters are of a commendatory charac ter. Senator Hoar was in a playful mood the other day. He bad tlie door to speak on a bill and yielded to different senators who wanted to get bills pass ed. Finally Mr. Berry sought recogni tion. apd this occurred: President Pro Toni. Frye- Does the senator from Massachusetts yield to the senator from Arkansas? Hoar— For what purpose? Berry I want to pass a bill. Hoar Does the senator want to pass It or allow the senate (o pass it? Berry—Of course I want the senate to pass it. It was a bill to establish a fish cul ture station in Arkansas, and Senator Hoar asked: ‘‘l would like to ask the senator from Arkansas if he considers the Dill strict ly constitutional.” This was directed at Senator Berry’s well known views upon restrictions of the constitution, and lie snapped out: “I decline to answer the senator from Massachusetts.” The bill then passed. Senator Hoar once put a like query to the late Senator Harris of Tennessee about a similar measure, to which the Tennes seean caustically replied: “If the sen ator from Massachusetts will come here on the Fourth of July,” then sev eral months distant, “I will discuss the constitution with him. Just now I want this hill passed.” What Thin Folk Need. In the greater power of digesting and assimilating food. For them Dr. King’s New Life Pilis work wonders.

Thirteen vessels arrived in Bruns wick yesterday. Thirteen ! Think of it, a regular fleet, and a record breaker for one day’s arrival in any south At lantic port.

They all came in during the after noon and a casual observer might have thought a fleet of warships were approaching as fine white sails and stately masts lined the brood expanse of Oglethorpe bay. In connection with this large move ments of ships it will he of interest to say that the tug Vigilant, which is one of the handsomest and most pow erful in southern waters’, towed in five vessels at on<| time, and the Inca, also a magnificient tug, came second with four. Tne others were towed in by the other tow boats ofthe, port.
