on Cuban Reciprocity.
Washington. July s.—Chairman
Payne of the house committee on ways
and means, had a long conference with
the president today.
The subject discussed was the prob

ity for Cuba.
After the conference Mr. Payne
said that he was satisfed that reciproc
ity would surely be effected at the
nex session.
Mr. Payne said that the conditions
which operated at the session just end
ed, tending to prevent any action to
wards providing relief for Cuba, would
not obtain at the next, session.
He believed that a Cuban relief
measure would he passed at the next
session by a practically unanimous
vote.

WILKINSON TO RUN AGAIN
He is Now Getting Ready to be
Slaughtered.
The Atlanta Journal of Thursday
said:
Tin; republican slate executive com
mittee meet later than August.
AI hough tills much is known, it is not
known what action will lie taken by
the party, relative l to putting out a
state ticket. Prominent republican;?
who were seen today said they were
unable to say what would he done.
It. is said, howi.vor, by those who
are in a position to know, tnat unless
there is considerable dissatisfaction
over the party nominees of the dem
ocrats, tire republicans will not take
a hand in state politics this yctar.
Two candidates are spoken of as
congressional possibilities. They are
J. C. Jenkins, who may oppose Colonel
Leonidas Livingston in this district,
and Colonel J. N. Wilkinson, of Val
dosta, who may again enter the raco
against Congressman Brantley in the
Bleu ntii district.. Colonel Wilkinson
made the race against Congressman
Brantley in 18f<8, and was badly de
feat! ii. but it is claimed by his friends
tnat if lie makes the race this year
he will receive the support of Demo
crats who favor protection and expan
sion, which will give him additional
■strength. Colonel Wilkinson was for
merly a democrat and joined the re
publican party. He is now a very
prominent lawyer in Valdosta.
The district committee of the fifth
district has not yeti, been called, and
i is 'not yet. known when it will be
held.

expected did not occur and for many
years a more quiet Fourth of July was
never witnessed in Brunswick 30 far

MR. BAKER’S DEATH.
Caused General Sorrow in Brunswick—
Funeral Arrangements.
In the death of Mr. M. A, Baker,
Sr„ which occurred last Friday morn
ing, Brunswick has sustained a great
loss. The deceased was one of her
mest valued citizens, a man of nigh
principles and unblemished character,
and one who was popular and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. A
short sketch of his life will interest
the many who were his personal
friends, and wio deeply regret his
death.
Born in Philadelphia on Jan. C, 1523.
he gave promise even in his boyhood
Of an unusual aptitude for business
and of qualifications calculate! to
make his life the siiteess it has been,
while still a very young man he wa.i
employed by the United States gov
ernment as Inspector of rifles at Har
per’s Ferry, and for tnis responsible
position he received a munificent sal
ary. I
In ISSR he settled in Fayette county,
N. C., where he engaged in the manu
facture of turpentine stills, which later
on he improved by an invention of
his own, the seamless still, which has
proven a great success.
During the civil war he established
a large foundry, in connection with
his other business for the purpose of
molding car wheels, shot and shell,
tnereby furnishing material for the
Confederate government. This foun
dry was burned by Sherman’s army
during his devastating march to tho
sea.
At the close of tile war Mr. Baker
found himself in the condition that
thousands of others over tho south
suffered, but his indomitable energy
and determination were not easily
daunted, and he started but anew to
conquer fortune. With the proceeds
of about a dozeip bales of cotton which
he sold in New York city, he began
his business career once more, re
turning to the manufacture of stills,
which he continued up to a short
time before his death, retaining his
mental i igor and clear judgment de
spite) his years, until his death.
A moat interesting conversational
ist and raconteur, Mi\ Baker's rem
iniscences of his life in Washington
city,where Inf spent a large part of
his life, were entertaining. His anec
dotes and stories concerning such men
as Webster, Clay and Calhoun who
were; his contemporaries, were well
worth listening to. For years Mr. Ba
ker was a member of the Presbyterian,
church, hut later was confirmed byl
Bishop Atkinson, of the Episcopal
church of North Carolina. In 1852 ho
married Miss Laura C. Tucker, of Bal
timore!, daughter of Captain George
Tucker, of Portland, Me.
A truly good and upright man, char
itable and broadminded, and a man
of strong friendships, there are many
who mourn iris loss —untimely, even,
he had reached a good old age, pass
ing nearly a decade over man’s allotted
three score years and ten. The death
of such a man always leaves a voll,
hut his good deeds and blameless rep
utation live al'tijr him, a lesson to tire
world which is the better for his hav
ing lived in it.
The surviving children are Mrs. O.
A. Ziegler, of St. Louis. Mo.; Mrs. O.
H. Walker, of Dallas. Tex.; Miss Znla
Baker, of this city, and Miss Carrie
B ker, of Stt Louis, Mo.; Mr. M. A.
Bakey, Mr. A. H. Baker, and Dr. B.
R. Baker.
The funeral will occur at 4:30 this
afternoon from St. Mark’s church.
The following gentlemen will act as
pall bearers:

LARGE SUIT FILED AGAINST SIR
THOMAS UPTON IfJ NEW
YORK.
His Personal Representative Making
An Effort to Collect a Large
Sum for Services.
New York, July s.—The basis of a
suit brought against Sir Thomas Up
ton by D. N. Barrie, who acted as the
baronet’s personal and business rep-
I resentative in this country during the
cup race, was made public today by,
William S. Gilbert, counsel for Mr.
Barrie.
“Mr. Barrie’s suit against Sir Thom
as Upton by D. N>, Barrie,” said Mr.
Gilbert, “is simply an attempt on the
part of Mr. Barrie to reeovelr from
Sir Thomas compensation for services
rendered to the last series of races
for the American cup as his business
and personal representative. His ser
vices extended over a perior of two
yehrs or more, and he seeks to recover
$ 11,515.
THE MARKET BUILDING.
It Could bo Used for Police Headquar
ters and Fire Department.
Since Mr. McCrary offered S3OO for
the material in the old market build
ing, a great many of our citizens halve
been giving this handsome structure
some attention and quite a number of
plans nave been suggested looking to
the riddance of this eyesore.
A prominent Brunswick business
man thinks the building should be
turned into a police barracks and
headquarters for the firemen, and this
plan seems to he a good one.
When Albert Fendig was in council
he made an effort in this direction
but for some reason nothing was done,
Tho old half-fitiisued building is cer
tainly not an indication of prosperity
and ; -mottling should certainly he
done with it.

WORRYING ABOUT FISH.
Thousands are Dying Near Macon—.
Various Causes Assigned.
Macon. July 5. —Seldom have the
people of this communoty been exer
cised as they have been in the ]>aHt
few days over the reports in regard
to the dead fish that been seen
floating in the Oemulgee river.
The govea'nment officials say this is
a serious matter and should be inves
tigated at once. And some of the peo
ple soeni to think that the county coin,
missioners should take the matter in
hand.
Correspondence has been received
stating that some peiople think acid
from the drainage of manufacturing
plants is responsible for the deal
fish, but to show this is untrue, it is
argued that these instiutions havq
been running for years and this is the
first time anybody has heard of t’ne
wholesale killing of the fish in the
river. One correspondent offers this
solution to the mystery. He says that
in his opinion some fishermen are
emptying lime in the river in order to
kill and catch fish. Lime, so he claims
will kill fish, whether in running
[ streams or in a pond.
