tion of a day in the city. General Man
ager Kenly, General Superintendent
Denham. Chief Engineer Pleasants
and Division Superintendent G. W.
Haines, of the Atlantic Coast line
left at. noon yesterday lor other points
on the system.
Mr. Kenly was seen by a represen
tative of the News shortly before leav
ing the city, and ho expressed him
self as being well pleased with Brnns
wfek. He think's the harbor is one
of the tinist on the South Atlantic
coast, and says he expect--; that the
city will grow Wonderfully within the
next few years.
While the 1 general manager did not
say so in so many words, it is safe
to 'say that he has been greatly pleas
ed and thoroughly impressed with
this city, and it is believed that, his
corninekat this time will be the cause
of figuring very favorably
with the new management.

PROPERTY OWNERS WANT
THE STREET OPENED
WILL BE GLAD TO HAVE FOOT OF
BLOUCESTER ARRANGED AS
SUGGESTED.
: The property owners along Glou
cester street west of Newcastle, are
delighted at the prospect for the open
ing of the street, and the country
people who come here in boats arc
also happy.
The Downing company has a lease
on the foot of the street, and the
same does not expire for several years
yet but it is thought that the
committee from council, composed
of Mayor Emanuel and Aldermen dtl
Bignon, Newman and Kaiser can
make an arrangement by which the
city can get tne foot of the street
again. I.aving aside the fact that the
Gloucester street property owners
want the street opened, it. will really
be a convenience to the country pom
pie who come here to buy goods and
sell the products of their farms, be
cause the city dock, Monk, is
entirely too small to accommodate
the many boats of the country folk,
ami very often they are forced to
wait their turn
.It is to he sincerely hoped that
the committee from council and tne
Downing company can come to
terms.
Violated Fish Laws.
John Hall and Jake Atkinson, col
ored, were tried before Justice Con
oly yesterday on a warrant sworn
out by Thomas Denero, charging
them with violating the terrapin law.
They were sent up to the city court
under $50.00 bonds. , :
BRUNSWICK, GA„ SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1902.
He Defeats Fitzsimmons
In the Eighth Round
Last Night.
San Francisco, July 25.—-Janie: .1.
Jeffries defended his title to the
championship of the world here to
night in a fight with Robert Fitzsim
mons. the ex champion, and again
proclaimed to tne world that he is
still master of the arena, having de
feated Fitzsimmons in the eighth
round of the contest.
The fighting at times was fast and
Curious, but at no id" the game
was Jeffries viewed in any light, hut
that of a winner. Ho has the advant
age of youth, wight and strength in
his favor, and these were too much
for tlie plucky Cornishinau
Ail day long Jeffries has been the
favorite witti the sports, nml Hie bet
tmg. which was not ais heavy as is
generally the case, ruled at 10 to 1
in favor of the champion.
Fitzsimmon s conduct, however,
was splendid, and from the first round
'until the last- - the eightn —in which
a heavy* punch from the champion
put him out of business, lie fought
with his old time sn p, nut the odds
were too much tor him, and in (lie
battle between ybutii and age, tne
Vernier was Che victor.
The crowd was .something enormous
and it. is estimated that the gate re
ceipts will go to $25.u00 Rc-ieree
Gralley gave entire satisfaction and
enforced a st.rfct adherence to the
Marquis of Queensbury rules, which
governed the bout.
Tile vanquished Cornishman had a
host -of friends who stood by him un
til the last and who put. their mono
on him. lull it sei mod that this was
done more to encourage Bob than for
anything else. The la icrowd,
though enthusiastic, was an orderly
one and the 100 policemen detailed for
special service at the ring side had
but little to do.
The record of the two men to date
is as follows;

MAY BUILD A DOCK.
City Looking Out For the Trading
Boats.
The News understands from a re
liable 'source that the city will short
ly begin the building of a wharf on
its property at the foot of Dartmouth
;treet to accommodate the large trad
ing craft which ply regularly be
teen Brunsick and points within a
radius of a hundred miles. It is said
that the sand and shell boats will all
be required to land if they have no
private wharf.
This is done to keep those boats
from monopolizing the very limited
space at the city dock, foot of Monk
street.
SOLDIERS HOME WILL
SOON BE READY
CONFEDERATE VETERANS ..TO
HAVE A REFUGE OF THEIR
OWN SHORTLY, I
Confederate veterans and others in
Brunswick will rejoice with the old
soldiers throughout the state on learn
ing that the soldiers’ home which was
recently burned in Atlanta, and which
is now being rebuilt, will be ready to
receive the old veterans who bravely
defended the south during the civil
war. within a few weeks. Once more
is tlie weary old soldier of the south,
tiie bravest of the brave, to be wel
comed at the home as the guest of the
people of his nai.ve state.
The soldiers’ home will be opened
to receive the old veterans about Au
gust 15. It will lie,larger and hand
somer than ever, as the people of
Georgia have been more able to erect
a home in keeping with the needs
of the soldiers than they were when
Die matchless Grady inaugurated the
movement for its erection some years
ago.
'j nere are at present forty-eight, in
mates of the home. They have been,
all told, 104. Since the opening of
Die homo there have been twenty-one
deaths among the Inmates.
Tims, in their old age, the home
has been an asylum to them, and
their last hours soothed with loving
hands and tender treatment.
AGRICULTURISTS TO
GATHER IN AUGUST
THE SOCIETY WILL HOLD AN
INTERESTING SESSION
IN MACON.
'I no regular annuaal meeting of tne
State Agricultural Society ill be held
in Macon August 13 and 14. The
programme is not yet ready for an
nouncement, but enough has boon
learned to offer the assurance that it
will very interesting and beneficial to
those who attend the convention.
President Hughes has pianned that
all addresses shall be short, and to the
point, so that the members of the so
ciety and the public will not be b red
by too much talking od one subject.
The election of officers will occur
at this meeting. So far as known
there is no opposition to Col. Hughes
for president. Indeed, the prospect is
that the same officers will he reward
e* for tiieir work during the past year
by re-election. Coi. Hughes will be
president of the state fair, which will
lie held at Valdosta, whetaer he is re
elected president of the society or not.
This is true because he is ex-officio
president of the fair, and even if he
does not succeed himself as president
01 the society, his term of office will
not expire until after the fair is held.
It is thought about 200 or 250 mem
bers of ne society will be present, in
spite of the fact that the society does
not get as cheap realroad rates as de
sired. The rate granted for the
round trip is one and one tuird fare,
one way.
Macon’s central location insures a
good attendance, it is thought.
