A STATEMENT CONCERNING
HIS CONDITION.
ANOTHER OPERATION TODAY
When Told That He Must Go to Bed,
the President Strongly Objected
But the Physicians Insisted
That He Do So.
Washington, September 24. Crip
pled and suffering Intensely, President
Roosevelt reached Washington tonight
on a special train. At the , epot a
private ambulance was in waiting and
lie was hastened to tne white house,
where physicians soon arrived and
made an examination of his condition.
After a lengthy consultation, it was de
cided tnat tne president should 440 to
bed, but lie objected- strongly saying
tnat he was not very it), ~ut the physi
cian ft Insisted that he retire and In
obeyed.
Secretary Cortelyou issued a .state

tors in watch he said:
“The president stood the long jour
ney from Indianapolis without ill et
feeta, but he was very tired and rest
less. He is feeling rather hud and
has retired on the advice of the physi
cians. Ilis leg gave him considera
ble trouble and pained him considera
bly since yesterday.”
Dr. Lung tonight announced that it

Cause of Abscess.
’■no swelling of tne president s leg
an
occasioned by a bruise h<- receiv
ed at the time of the trolley car acci
dent at Pittsfield, Mass., when the
president's carriage was run into and
demolished by a car. Besides being
injured in the face and across the eye,
the president at that time received a
blow upon the inner part of the left,
leg between the ankle and Knee, but,
true to his characteristics, he paid no
attention to it, deeming a slight bruise
not worth talking about. During sev
eral weeks he took no heed of it, but
it began to pain him so that 1. forced
attention.
After starting on his western trip
he determined that perhaps ~>r. Lung,
who was aboard the train, should ex
amine it. The doctor did so and pro
nounced it to be a serious matter.
When in Detroit the doctor Anally de
clfiTeu Dial something would have to
be done. After consulting with Dr.
Richardson, another member of the
party, It was decided that, in order to
avoid the possibility of blood poison
ing, it probably would be wise to have
an operation performed.
The president was very much averse
to anything of the kind, ,but, neverthe
less, when Logansport, jn,l., had been
reached he had been prevailed on to de
liver the tariff speech wine,, had been
prepared for delivery at Milwaukee,
and which was regarded as one of the
most important of his prepared
speeches for the west.

ized World.
Amsterdam, September 24.—-The
Boer generals, Botha, Do WeTanu De
larey, have issued u manifesto in the
shape of an appeal to the civilized
world. Tnis document says that, hav
ing failed to induce Great Britain to
grant further assistance, it only re
mains for them to address themselves
to the people of Europe and America.
The generals repudiate all desire to
inflame the minds of the people and
declare, “The word Is now sheathed,
and all differences are silent in the
presence of such great misery.”
They say the small aftiount given by
Great Britain, even if multiplied ten
fold, would not suflice to cover tul
war losses alone, “Wo solicit the
hearty cooperation of all existing com
mittees in the various countries wnich
we are on the point of visiting, with
the object of establishing a satisfac
tory organization."

BRUNSWICK’S NEtD.
Citizen Writes Card Concerning Some
Attractions This Fall.
Editor News: It is a matter of
groat surprise not. to say regret that
Brunswick people, iiy which 1 mean
the business people, do not manifest
greater interest in local amusement
for the public. No where in the State
is the spirit of intercommunion and
social reunion more manifest, than
Ip ro,yet years pass and except the
stiff “Sit in your seat surrounded with
your own family" method, never do we
see the wealthy, social commingling
with the masses. Not to consider the
matter trom a financial standpoint at
all, i assert that, if any concerted ef
fort; were made, some form of carni
val or fair could he held upon the
grounds of the former Koutneastern
Fair Association, both of a pleasing
entertaining nature and (socially ret
roactive and wholesome to the morals
and higher tastes of the patrons,
is acre no one who will come for
ward and take advantage of the situa
tion and present something lor the
entertainment of the people this fall?

COUNCIL TO ROLO
A BUSY SESSION
• 4
IMPORTANT MATTERS WILL COME
UP FOR ACTION AT MEETING
• TONIGHT.
THE OLD MARKET" QUESTION
It Will Probably be Finally Settled—
Alderman Newman Wants
More Augusta Gravel
for Streets.
City council will meet tonight in
regular semi-monthly session aui?
the meeting is expected to lie a very
interesting one. as two matters of
great importance to our citizens will
come up for final action.
Probably the most important busi
ness to lie handled is Thai of con
verting the old market building into
headquarters for the tire department.
This matter lias now been before the
council for some time, but no defi
nite action nas been taken, owing to
the committee asking lor more time
in which to investigate the plans, etc.,
but tonight, it is generally thought,
the matter will be finally disposed of,
and i( is truly hoped by every Bruns
wiekian that, council will decide to
make the change.
The plans for the building have
been submitted by Messrs, Bowen and
Thomas, the well known contractors,
who were asked to make a bid a.
submit plans for the building.
As this halfcompleted building now
stands it is only an eye-sore to the
city, is of no good whatever and only
stands there in a dilapidated condi
tion, while if Ihe change is made, it
will lie converted into qtie ofx the
handsomest lire lieadifuarteps in the
state and will Mid greatly to the-, ap
pearance of me vicinity in widen if is
situated, and at the same lime afford
our lire department, gnou quarters,
which are lunch needed.
The News feels certain that the
members of the council win do every
thing possible to have the work done
according to the plans submitted, and
we believe that the contract will 1
finally let at the meeting tonight.
Another important question which
is scheduled to come up for action
is that of better streets for the city.
Alderman ixewman, who is chairman
of the committee on streets, drains
and bridges, is using his every effort
to give the city good streets. At
present Augusta graved is being laid
on Newcastle, between F and Glou
cester, and tonight. Chairman New
man will ask council to purchase
enough of the grave! to complete the
work as far down as Hanover park,
which will make Newcastle a beautiful
street.
Several other matters of minor im
portance will come up, and altogether,
the meeting will lie a very interesting
and important one.

FUEL PRICES HOW
TAKE BIG JUMP
THE COAL STRIKE IS BEING SERI
OUSLY FELT ALL OVER
COUNTRY.
Will EEEECI ELECTIONS
Said That if no Settlement is Reached
by November the Strike Will be
of Advantage to the Demo
crats.
Washington. September 24.—While
the causes which precipitated the an
thracite coal strike in Pennsylvania
had no relation whatever to politics,
it is recognized nevertheless that the
results may affect the November elec
tions. Anthracite coal is not pro
dded by the Diiigley hill, neither lias
there been any legislation of congress
in relation to it, but the party in
power is usually held responsible,
whether it has anything to do with
the questions at issue or not, in wide
spread labor disturbances, and predic
tion is freely made that tne miners’
strike win cut down the republican
vote, it will lie remembered that the
Homestead strike in 11102, immediate-,
ly preceding the presidential election,
had much to do with the success of
the democratic ticket and there
should he no surprise if the present
troubles should cause more than one
doubtful district to elect, a democratic
representative.
Unless there is some compromise
between the miners and operators be
fore the end of tiio numl.n, \v ashlng
ttm will experience Uur gKeatAst eiiSTl
famine that the'*city has Jjver known.
Anthracite coal was selling today at
sl3 to sir, a ton and not more than
a tail was delivered to nhy one pur
chaser by dealers fmfnnatp enough to
have a supply. In many instances
only half a ton was delivered at the
same rates. Wood, which might take
llk- place of coal, had an upward jump
this morning. The price asked for
prepared pine Wood this morning was
$8 per cord, a dollar above the price
ask -d yesterday. Oak made a jump
l of $1.50 a cord, and the, price asked
j now is $!). Hickory Drought $l.O a
I cord, a dollar higher than yesterday,
and there was a stiff demand. A pro
portionate advance was also noted in
loifL wood. Nearly all the wood that
is used in Washington, comes from
Virginia, and is transported by water.
The trade in oil stoves and gas
stoves is greater than ever. People
are not buying new coal ranges to
any great extent, because u is next
to impossible to secure coal to burn
in them. The local oil dealers report
a great increase In sales o. oil for
fuel purposes. The sales of the Stand
ard Oil company have increased about
5 per cent, during the last four
months, and the company comfidently
looks for a much larger increase when
the cold weather comes on. At the
office of the Standard Oil company,
from twenty-five to fifty telephone
calls are received every day asking
for information regarding stoves and
appliances of all kinds in which oil
may be used as fuel.
The Washington Gas company offi
cials report that the coal famine 'has
ndt affected the amount of gas used
yet to any perceptible extent. Wnat
effect it will have when the colder
weather begins they do not care to
prognosticate.
A number of different brands of oil
stoves arc on the market. Several
species of hydrocarbon burners have
become very popular. While the varie
ties differ in some respets, they are
mostly built, on the same general prin
ciples. One kind which seems to be
having a great sale in town is a sim
ple iron apparatus but little more
than two feet long, which may be set
in the fire place of any stove or range.
From a small oil lank, fastened on the
wall, kerosene is fed through a tube
into the burner on the inside of the
stove.
Bargain Sales Continue.
The bargain sale of Mr.?. M. Isaac
continues and. is a source of inter
est to tho buying public. Mrs, Isaac
really has some genuine bargains
this week and those who contemplate
making purchases in her lino will do
well to call at her popular place.
