THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NO. 250. IMS A BOILER FACTOR! FOR OS R. E. BRIESENICK WILL BUILD ONE IE COUNCIL WILL GIVE LEASE. The Council Has a Good Opportunity to Encourage a New Enterprise By Granting His Request. Some weeks ago Mr. H. E.

Mr. Briosn,iek‘.s a lease at present which extends twelve monhs yet, but he desires to improve the property, laying out a large sum of money, and he does not iare to do this unless the city will extend his lease. The proposition of Mr. Brieseniek for a fifty year lease seems to ho a lair one. He agrees to pay an amount agreed upon by council and himself for twenty-five years, and at the end of that time 'ne is willing to leave the amount of rental to arbi tration for the remaining twenty-five years. If council leases the property to Mr. Brieseniek he will at once be gin the erection of a mammoth boiler factory, will invest a large amount of money, and will employ many hands. If the lease is not extended the fac tory will not l>e built. REMARKABLE GAME OP BALL AT MACON NEGROES PLAYED SEVENTEEN INNINGS WITH oCORE OF 8 TO 7.

It went straight over the second base too high for the baseman to reacn with one of his highest jump*. The right fielder made for it behind the second base man, but as it went into the field it seemed to raise higher and higher from the ground with an up curve and at the remotest part of the park it resembled a speck in he air. It duck ed and struck the fence, and it lay in the grass to be searched for by the fielder who followed it. liy the time It had been found and thrown back to the diamond the hattUr had made the round of the liases and was taking a rest, over among the other ins.

Tnis was the longest game of ball ever played on the Macon grounds.

A dispatch from Washington. D C., says the officials there who are mak ing an effort to secure the extradition of Greene and Gavnor are now feeling more confidence in the success of their efforts. The reason for their optimism is a change in the method of the procedure, they having framed their appeals for the extradition of the men precisely in accordance with the language of tne extradition treaty. This was’ done on the ground that the language of the treaty relative to "receiving money, valuable secu rity, or other property, knowing the same to have been embezzled, stolen or fraudulently obtained," is claimed to actually fit the offense of which the men are said to have been guilty) It is expected that no Canadian court will thus be relieved of- the necessity of ruling on the objection made by the defendants t hat Iho crime charged in no Indictment does not correspond with the treaty. Under he now appli cation the court will simply be re quired to decide whether or not a pri ma l'acio ease of receiving stolen moneys has been made out against Greene and Gaynor. If the men are surrendered under extradition proceedings tne Georgia courts will lie obliged to decide the difficult and delicate question wheth er Gaynor and Greene can be tried for conspiracy, as indicated, after having been tubtaluied fiord Canada on a warrant which does not charge that offense.

OIL FIELDS STILL A BLAIR MASS ALL EFFORTS TO STOP FIRE AT JENNINGS HAS PROVEN FRUITLESS. Total Destruction of the Fields Would Entail a Loss of Thousands of Dollars. Jennings, July 17—Tile situation at this hour is practically the same. No progress lias been made in conquering the flames and ir any thing they are getting stronger. Tne continuous flames for the past thirty six hours are showing on the valve and pipe for opening is growing larger. The entire day has been pass ed in advancing new ideas and pass ing on them and absolutely nothing has been accomplished. Late this evening the chemical engine that ar rived from Beaumont last night was tried 1 and did not even quench the fires in the small streams that ex tend from the pool. At 8 o’clock four boilers had been connected and as many streams of steam was turned on the fire. The only apparent effect of these streams was to cause the lira lo burn fiercer. The latest plan de vised is to build a wail several feet high around as near the lire as the woritmen can stand. A I'orCe of twen ty-five men are now at ork Tno steam pipes are to be turned into this levee to flood the surplus oil out; throng'll a lead ditch that is being Jug. By this means they l hape lo reduce a greater portion of the tiro and confine it strictly to the well at which it started. A ear loaad of chemicals has been ordered and is now on the way and by this they ex pect to conquer the flames. Owing to the peculiar formation of the well the difficulty in conquering it is great er than it otherwise would be. The well was never completely finished. A 4-inch pipe is set in a 6-inch easing and between the two the oil is es caping. The experts who came over from Beaumont arc unable to advance any ideas, for this fire is an entirely new feature in the history of oil field fires. The remaining portion of the field is idle. The only company now at work is the Pelican company, near ly a quarter of a mile to the north, en tirely out of danger. The chemical engine has just ar rived in the city and will be shipped home tonight. The owners of the well do not seem to lie the least, down hearted and talk encouragingly! of being able, to cope witli the situation In a day or so, alhough it docs not. seem so at present. Tiie loss is now nearing the ten thousand dollar mark, and will probably pass that before it is over. Tiie plan of covering the well with a cone, which was advanced last night and abandoned, will tie should the present one fail. This lat ter scheme seems to lie the one ap proved by those who have had expe rience in the oil fields. TURNED HOSE ON RIOTERS. Unruly Construction Gang In Ncbrao kan Town Put to Flight.
