WALL STREET LAUGHS GLEEFUL
LY AT BIG OPERATORS
DISCOMFORTURE,
Now York, August 23. —John >v.
Gales was the subject ot many a
laugh on \\ all street today, men on
the street figuring his losses in Colo
rado Fuel variously from $4,000,000
down to $1,000,000. A reliable esti
mate on the street places nis total
loss at $3,000,000.
While there is nothing vindictive
about the tone of the feeling for Gates
in Wall street, the men who 'have
trucked against him and fought non
on more than ouo occasion are enjoy
ing u satisfaction that is being man
ifested in self-graiulalion.
T-hey know Gates was torn with a
strong desire to control Colorado Fuel
and they set out earnestly, quietly
and deliberately to block every stroke
li.at he might make in the game.
-in Wall street the fignt against
him first began on August 14, the day
when the inauguration of the injunc
tion proceedings were begun, Colora
do Fuel began to slump point by
point. Down the financial toboggan
it slid, every day showing in the ac
counting a loss of several hundreds
of thousands of dollars for Gates.
From the time of its highest reach
after Gates began buying stock in
the Colorado Fuel to the present day
the holdings of the Gau'S coterie
shows a shrinkage in value of just
$3,400,000. But it is almost impossi
ble to figure tneir exact losJos, as
Cates bought in the stock at varying
prices.

A GOOD MOVE
Court House Square is to Be Beau
tified.
The county officials are at last
about to .lo something toward im
proving court house square, the
small park next to the entrance on
Newcastle street. This is a much
needed step, and witli Cnairman J. .1.
JyOtt. of the county commissioners,
interested in the movement, there is
every prospect that this spot will
soon bo transformed into an attract
ive place instead of the unsightly
waste it now is. In connection with
this matter it is pertinent to inquire
concerning the free fountain the
Brunswick Light and Water company
agreed to place in this square several
years ago as the condition whereby
they were permittee to bore a well
on F street. This condition ..as not
been complied with, but toe obliga
tion srill remains, and the officials

COMMERCIAL CONGRESS AT ST.
PAUL ADOPTS RINGING
RESOLu i IONS.
St. Paul, August 23.—Although yes
terday’s discussion of tlie trust ques
tion and the later action of theTeso
luUoms committee ion ignoring too
question had been regarded as tne
end of that problem by the Trans-
Mississippi Commercial Congress,
such proved not to be the case. When
the congress was called to order to
day for the closing session, J. A. Card
ner, of St. Louis, secured the floor
and moved the adoption of resolutions.
They slightly differed from tne Wet
more resolutions earlier in me ses
sion and precipitated another lively
debate. The point of discussion was
more whether the proposition should
generally be looked upon as partisan
action by the congress than on the
merits of the case. By a vote of twen
ty to nineteen the resolutions were
adopted as follows:
Whereas, The trust system lias
been and Is a menace to our republi
can institutions, and
Whereas, If allowed to continue to
form t'ombiina’tioins jin restralint of
competition, the wealth of the entire
country will he concentrated in the
hands of n few, and
Whereas, The said combinations
are calculated to destroy the hope
and ambition of the youth of (no
country, it being well understood that
the ambition and hopes of the young
men of the nation have ma,.e it. great.,
therefore, be it
Rtesolveu by this congress, ’that
tlm president of the United States be
respectfully urged to use all the pow
er vested in bis office to tne end that
the growing power and influence of
the trusts be destroyed, and be it fur
ther
Resolved, That If, In the wisdom
of the national congress, tne <aws
now on the statute books arc insuffi
cient to suppress this growing evil,
(bat other and more stringent and ef
ficient laws ho speedily enacted.

TO SETLLE
THE CASE
j
— * —
X
SOUTHERN AND A. C. L. MUST
OBEY ORDERS OF RAILWAY
COMMISSION.
*
An interesting situation in railroad
circles that affects Brunswick mer
chants considerably is to be decided
this week. The general public is fa
miliar with the fact mat during the
existence of the old Plant System
and the present Southern Ra,.wav,
there was a refusal by the two roads
to transfer freight cars for the Bruns
wick and Birmingham railroad. An
appeal was made by the u. & 11. to ■
the railroad commission and the case
was decided in favor ot the B. & lb.
but the other two roads have never
paid any attention to the order of the
commission.
Subsequent to appeal the Plant
System was absorbed by the Atlantic
Coast Line and there is abundant ev
idence of late that file A. C. L. wants
to act "clean white” in the matter.
In fact it is known mat the A. C. L.
has offered to transfer tne 11. & B.
cars,. and it is more than probable
that the Southern will follow the a.
C. L. example and fall in line by of
fering to transfer. In the meantime
Colonel Machen, or the B. & 8.. is
“standing pat” and all Brunswick is
behind him with best wishes tnat the
B, K- B. will win the tight for justice
and rates. Brunswiekians are also
congratulating the Atlantic Coast
Line officials for their nueral and just
handling of the matter.
Judge Sam C. Atkinson, o, the B.
& lb, is now in Atlanta, and i..,s
week a meeting of representatives of
all lines will probably he held in At
lanta at which Colonel Machen and
Mr. Atkinsbu,“of the B. it lb. will
be present, and an amicable agree
ment will probably be reached.
Death oi an Infant.
Charley, the one-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Kendrick passed away
(yesterday imoming shortly lauer 4
o’clock. The little fellow bail been ill
for some time. The funeral will oc
cur this morning at !l o'clock from the
