THE BRUNSWICK BOYS WERE EASY WINN! RS DEFEATED THE FERNANDINA CLUB YESTERDAY BY A SCORE jDF EIGHTEEN TO TWO. Quite a large crowd wont out yes terday to the fair grounds to witness the game of >a'aet ball between Bruns wick and Feruandina, but those who expected to see some fast hall playing were disappointed. The score stood 18 to 2 in favor of the local team. From the start it was clearly evi dent that it was an uneven match, the visiting team being composed mostly of boys which, in some degree, ac counts for the bad defeat.

ROUTE DECIDED ON AS FAR AS PHILEMA |IT IS NOW RUMORED THAT THE BRUNSWICK & BIRMINGHAM IS SOON TO PURCHASE THE OCILLA AND IRWINVILLE. . ORK OF BUILDING THE ROAD TO OFFERMAN WILL BE PUSHED AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE AT PRESENT. The following is taken from the Cos lumbus Enquirer-Sun. The route of the Brunswick and Birmingham Railway has as yet licon determined no further than Philema, Oa. Philema is on the Albany and Northern Railroad, between Albany and Cordele and ison the east bank of the Flint river. Philema is almost on a straight line between Brunswick and Eufanla. As the crow flies, it is about seventy miles from Columbus and about seventy from Kufanla. Columbus is al most on an airline from Philema to Birmingham. Enfaula is not. A straight line from Philema into Albany via Eufauia would go through middle Alabama, passing near Montgomery. The Columbus route would, therefore, appear to be the logical route from the Brunswick and Birmingham. Definite and cored information re garding the progress of building the Brunswick and Birmingham will no doubt be received with interest by Enquirer-Snn readers. It is confidently expected that trains over the Brunswick and Birminghan will be ia operation into Otferniau. Ga, from Brunswick by Jnly Ist. Offerman is a point on the Savannah, Florida and Western Hail way. The deal for the Offernum and Western, from Offerman to Nicholls" lias been closed. This will carry the Brunswick and Birmingham us far west as Coflee county It is understead that the Brunswick and Birmingham will shortly got possession of flic Oeilla and IrvvuivWe Railroad. The gap from Nioholis to Oeilla will then be built out, and will (brow the Brunswick and Bir nuuliam as far as Irwinville. From Irwinviile the route lias been mapped out as fai as I’liih ma anil no further Whether the road will continue due west and strike Kufaula, or turn slightly to the northwest and go on a straight line to Birmingham, via Columbus, isa question, No official aunbuccment bas been made regarding tho favored route beyond Philema, and statements that the road will go via either Kufaula or Columbus are mearely surmises, It is stated officially and unequivo cally that the Brunswick and Birming ham is to be built to Birmingham, Ala., and that the promoters of the enterprise will not stop until it is completed there. The immediate work, the extension to Offerman, Ga,, is to be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Steel rails have been distributed along the route, and a large forec of hands are at Work. WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME Riflemen Making Arrangements For Their Gala Day. The Riflemen held an interesting meeting in tin ir armory last night and, among other things, discussed arrange ments for their gala day, which will be i.eid on SL. Simon May 28. The naval reserves and a number of out of town organizations will lie in vited and it is probable that at least three or four will accept. Among the interesting features of the day will be a sham battle, prize drill and other things to entertain the public. SESSION OF THE CITY COURT. Some Long-Winded Cases Tried Yesterday. The city court had slow work yes terday, only a few cases were dis posed of. Following is the list: Cbas. Wilson, carrying concealed weapons. Mistrial. Nathan Mallory and Cleveland Douglas, larceney. Guilty. Former SIOO or J 2 months, latter $75 or 12 months. York Ifazzar.l, trespass. Not guilty. Peter Griffin, larceney, on trial. Jurors Hard to Get. Sheriff Berrie finds it a hard job to “run out and get jurors” for the city court. I~e fact that the court only pays SI,OO for a day’s “sitting” proba bly accounts for the scarcity of jurors and to a great degree, tue unpopularity of the court. BRUNSWICK, GA.. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 8. 1902 . l HINKS IHA I ESI ILL WILL BE OUR NEXT OOVLRXOR 1 ■i s COLONEL J. H. ESTILL, Who Seems to be Gaining Strength in His Race for the Governorship. By C. W. Deming.. . Col ,1. H. Estill, South Georgia's candidate for governor, will carry the First district solid, Tills district is com posed of Burke, Bulloch, Tattnall, Emanuel, Chatham, Screven, Effingham Bryan, Liberty and Mclntosh counties The first four counties named above have four delegates each. Chatham has six and the others have two each. Of tile above roster Chatham will come us a surprise to most llrnuswick iaus, as reports here have been that some of tHe Savannah factions wore fighting Estill. I find exactly the con trary for all the factions are going to support him They will do this first because it is practical politics and the Savannah politician* are nothing if not practical. They realize that they would stand in a bad light in the future if they fought their home man and South Georgia candidate . Secondly they realize that Col. Estill is gaining steadily every day and they know that lie is a fellow citizen of such high character that they are in duty bound to support him. In a buggy tripthrough other counties in tiie First, district, 1 found Kstili in the Fad everywhere, during court week in Bryan county I found Un people practically solid for Estill. Estill men are working like beavers every where. It, will astonish anyone to size up his strenght now in comparison to what it was 8 w eeks ago, Mayor Phiney and all the politicians of Augusta are for him and are claiming they will NEWS NOTES OE INTERESI SHORT ITEMS PICKED UP IN ALL PARTS OF THE CITY BY NEWS REPIRTER3.

Tupper will be com pleted and ready tor business within the next few weeks and those who claim to know say she wili lie quite swift ELKIN COMMERCE LAW DOOMED THIS SESSION carry Richmond comity for Estill This is an unlocked for development but it is a fact that Estill has a magnificent chance to carry Richmond. Estifi bid tons are seem worn by men all over the section where 1 have lieen travelling and a man would hardly be wearing his button labelled “For Governor” unless lie meant, to vote fol ium, my business of selling Page woven wire fencing lias carried me to the he Bof many sturdy rili-/oou dm-iotr the past week .and it looks to me like Fslii I is going into the convention with at least enough votes to lock it. If he does it is generally conceded that the Guerry men wiP not vote for Ten-ell and the Terrell men will net vote for Gnerry and that Estill is the logical man to unite upon. The hand to hand shake, face to face talk and all around good write ups that Estill is campaigning with has proven an unique but in my opinion a winning one for the South Georgia man and while always an ad mirer of his sturdy manhood I must say that he lias developed a strenght lief ore’ the masses that I did not before think he could. Gol. W. W Sheppard,- candi date for Judge ef the At lantic circuit and a keen, shrewd observer of practical politics sizes up the siliiasiun aliont as it appears when he says : “The Estill governorship campaign is winning, and he is going into the convention with enough votes to land him in the governors chair.

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HOPE FOR THE RAILROAD LAW VERY SOON—CONGRESS IS TOO BUSY NOW. n PAYMENT FOR CESSION OF CROW INDIAN LINES—SENATE ENJOYS ITSELF—iTRADING SEATS IN THE UPPER HOUSE. Washington, May 7.—The Elkins hill is not for this session. Even the confident author of the pri poueu railroad legislation admits tuat u ahiug is possible in the way of amen;.ing the interstate commerce law. The Elkins bill, the senator says, is being "discussed and cussed” in many sections of the country, "but I cannot get the railroads to agree upon anything. They won’t agree among themselves, upon my bill or upon any oilier plan. Some want one thing and some want another, and others don’t want anything. I'll have to tnlk it over with Hepburn of the house com mittee and see if they are going to try and pass anything over there. I don’t know whether this is a good time for railroad legislation or not. There are so many changes going on in the rela tions of the roads with each other and with the public that no matter what was done might have to be undone and amended later.” Telegrams Sent by Mail. During the recent trials which the telegraph companies have been having a great deal of telegraphic matter has been forwarded by mail between Wash ington and New York, uml In fact some other points. With wires a total wreck there was no other way. The telegraph companies would take messages "sub ject to delay,” and this delay meant the time It would take the mails to get through. There came a time when IvoUu maM. tliintMfosiiwl tvitlt ilolu y , vyi account of the floods. One evening at this period a man wanted to send a dispatch. "This will get to New York tomorrow morning sure?" he asked " Well," answered the clerk, "the floods may delay that night train, luid we can’t guarantee It." "What ill thunder has a delayed train got to do with a telegraph dispatch?” yelled the man. And then he was informed of the man ner in which business was being done. Crow Cession Bill Amended. It was with a great deni of interest that Senator Clark of Montana saw the bill ceding about l.OOO,(X)0 acres of land of the Crow reservation In liis state come up for consideration In the senate. It was Ills bill. He hud intro duced it, worked over It in committee and reported it. This bill provided that cattle, horses, farm implements and other things necessary for the Indians should he given them ns part payment for the cession. The reading of the bill was completed, and the presiding offi Cer said, "The clerk will report the amendments.” The senate was un usually still, and the voice of the clerk rang out, "In line 2, page 4, strike out two-.vear-old jackasses and Insert stal lions.” Decorum in the senate was for gotten us everybody laughed and made comments upon Senator Clark’s hill, lie sat silent, and even when two sen ators, Plait of Connecticut and Cock rell of Missouri, complained about In dian cession hills in general, made no reply. And the bill passed. The Idaho Senators. Senators Dubois and Ileitfelil of Ida ho occupy seats together on the front row of the Democratic side—in fact, they have the choice seats of the mi nority. This is rather remarkable, hi view of the fact that Ileitfeld has been a senator only five years and Dubois but one year of bis present term. The seats of the senate are chosen by a system which usually gives the older senators the best—that is. a senator files an application for a seat which he thinks will be vacant and often waits for years to get it. The Idaho senators got their good seats by trad ing. When Butler of North Carolina went out, he had one of the front seats on the Democratic side, but it was found that MeComus, a Republican, had filed mi it. The Democrats did not like to have a Republican there, and so a change was made which gave McComas Teller’s old seat. Teller go ing into the middle of the Democratic side and Ileitfeld going donln in front. Senator Vest had long occupied a seat on the front row, but wanted one near the cloakroom door, so iie traded his old seat for one on the back row occu pied by Dubois, and the young Jdabo senator came down alongside of bis colleague. Here on the front row sit two new far western senators, who have only been in the Democratic par ty for a year.

A MISTRIAL IN WILSON CASE AFTER REMAINING OUT ALL NIGHT THE JURY COULD NOT AGREE AND A MISTRIAL WAS DE CLARED. YOUNG WHITE MAN WILL NOW _HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME IN JAIL UNLESS HE CAN GET A BONDSMAN. Chas. Wilson, the young white man who has seen all kinds of trouble here, is now deeper into it than ever, it is true that he was not convicted on the charge of carrying concealed wea pons, but a verdict of guilty would have been better than the mistrial. He would probably have been fined less than a hundred dollars if found guilty, while now he will have to give bond in the sum of $l5O or re main in jail until the August term of the (city court. The young man in tended leaving on the Mallory steamer to New York tomorrow, but the new charge against him will keep here un his father can make arrangements for a bondsman. Sentiment is about evenly divided. Some thins Wilson 'is a bad man, while others are of the opinion that he is an over-grown school boy, but lacking the judgment possessed by the average youth. The jury stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. BIG CROVAII MLEIING WILL SOON BE HELD SUPPORTERS OF THE GENIAL JUDGE ARRANGING pOR A GATH ERing a<- an savc.

A Member of the Committee Asks All Citizens For Help. Mr. Editor: Allow me through your columns *to call attention of our citizens to the, tabor nacle which is being erected. Any one who has seen it can readily see what a valuable addition it is going to be to our city. It not only appeals to Hjo church people, who expect to hold union gospel services in it from time to time, but it will furnish a meeting place for any large gathering of our people, such as Memorial day exercis es, conventions, etc. For this reason it ’ought to appeal to all classes. It maybe, too, that with such an audito ium in our city, we can arrange for a chautauqua within the next year or so A representative committee of citizens are. directing the building of it, but they must appeal to the citizens gener ally for financial aid. A part of the cost is to be raised during the meeting but several bills for lumber and labor have to be paid as the building pro gresses. It will take not less than 50,- 000 feet of lumber: fifteen thousand feet have been donated by people liv ing outside of Brunswick, while a Brunswick firm not only charged foil price of what was bought oi them, but chaged more than the same lumber was recently offered to other parties, several citizens habe offered voluntar ily to help. A committee will wait up on our citizens during this week in an effort to raise enough money to meet tliei hills which must be paid at this time, several of our citizens have contributed lumber, labor, etc. There is much yet to be done. Let all help and it will not be burdensome to any and the result will be a building of permanent value to the city. A Member of the Committee. % Off For Europe. C.
