STRONG PROTEST MADE AGAINST
PRESENCE OF MARINES ON
ISTHMUS.
TO ASSUME SOVEREIGN!! Y
This is What They Charge Against
The United States—lnsurgents Hold
Up a Train But Are Repelled
by Yankee Marines.
Panama, Colombia, September 20.
i rattle across the isthmus is tree, and
part of the revolutionary army having
r*'lrealed to Agua Uutee, the danger
of a battle on the isthmus is believ
ed to be removed.
In a communication sent to Com
m .iider Mel.tan. of the United States
cruiser Cincinnati, Governor Salazar
has endeavored to demonstrate that
the Colombian government has here
all tin' forces necessary to protect the
lives and property of all foreigners,
and to guarantee their rights. The
governor ados that lie Is desirous of
having pointed out to him a single
ease where the lives or property of
foreigners have been menaced, and
consequently he holds that the label
ing of tne United States marines was
not justified.
Ihweiy’s he consider"! '* an attempt,
to assume the sovereignty of Colom
bia. protests against it and states that
he will hold Commander McLean res
ponsible tor whatever may happen as
tin result fo the marines landing.
In the meantime American marines
remain here to protect American in
terests.
The government entertains great
hope of the new cruiser Bogota, re
eently acquired by it in the Unit oil
States and expected hero shortly. It
is believed when the Bogota begins
operations the revolutionists will lose
their prestige at sea which govern
ment officials declare to have been
their greatest strength. The success
or the government in its contemplated
naval engagements depends on the
Bogota, which is commanded by Cap
tain Marmaduke, an. American, and
manned by an American crew". It the
Bogota sinks the Padilla the revolu
tion. it 'h beJifred, will he ended.
There Is no change today in the
situation at Panama.

vised of the situation on the isthmus
of Panama this afternoon by another
and longer cablegram from Comman
der McLean, at Colon. It was stated
at the department that the comman
der's report was to the effect that tne

BRUNSWICK, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1902.
CITIZENS ALL
FAVOR A FAIR
, ♦
SHOW THEIR WILLINGNESS TO
ASSIST ANY SUCH A MOVE
MENT.
MANY PEOPLE INTERVIEWED
And They are All Heartily in Favor
of Arranging Some Kind of
Amusement in Brunswick
'i lis Fall.
The citizen who suggested that
a street fair, carnival or something
in the amusement line lie arranged in
Brunswick this fail seems to have
advanced a popular idea and the mat
ter is now being seriously considered
by our citizens generally.
A News reporter interviewed a mini
her of our leading business men yes
terday, and every one of them were
in favor of arranging a fair of some
kind and said that they would give
the movement tlielr hearty coopera
tion and support and were willing to
assist in any way possible,
A prominent and enthusiastic citi
zen, who was closely identified with
the two previous fairs, was seen nnd
lie said:
“f am certainly glad to see thi
News and the citizens taking tip this
idea and sincerely hope more of onr
people will become interested in the
matter and that a fair of some kind
will be given this fall.
“As staled in your columns, n fair
could he given at a very small cost,
inasmuch ns the fair grounds and
everytning is in first class condition
and -ready for such an entertainment.
The people of Brunswick, 1 believe,
1U take me matter up and carry 11
out. There is nothing Dint helps a
cijv more fitan one of Do se fairs and
I sincerely hope Hint one will Ini
arranged here for this fall.’!
Other prominent citizens were also
sewn by the reporter and they ail
expressed themselves in tne same
way as the above gentlemen, and said
that they were ready to assist the
movement. It was suggested that, a
meeting lie called within the next
week or so and some definite Stepp
in the matter be taken and this will
probably be done.
At any rate, the majority of our
citizens are in favor of having a fair
and it will not take a very hard*
effort to arrange one.

A, C, L OFFICIALS
HERE YESTERDAY
VISITED THE SHOPS IN THIS CITY
AND MADE THOROUGH
INSPECTION.
OLD RUMOR WAS RENEWED
To The Effect That the Shops Would
Be Removted But the Officials
Were Mum on the
Subject.
The old rumor of the removal of the
Atlantic Coast .Line shops from this
city was current on the streets again
yesterday and was freely talker! in
railroad circles generally.
A News representative started out
for the purpose of looking up Dio
rumor, with a view of ascertaining
whether or not anything in a specific
nature had developed.
it was found that Assistant General
Manager Smith and Superintendent, of
Motive Power Young, of the Atlantic
Coast Line, reached the ciiy yester
day and spent the larger portion of
the day at Die shops. "J nose officials
made numerous Inquiries of those in
charge of the several departments of
the shops, but were as mum as clams
us in the object of their visit at this
time.
Master Mechanic S. M. Roberts, who
is the highest official of that depart
ment in Brunswick was seen, and
when questioned on tne subject, he
said 11 far as he personally knows,
nothing bad transpired to give cre
dence or cause for the rumor. He ex
plained that neither Messrs. Smith or
'Voting had officially advised him of
the intention of the company and
pointed out that in the event an im
mediate removal was contemplated
that he would have been advised on
the subject.
Of course it was perfectly natural
for this talk to lie indulged in upon
the arrival of these officials and
there may or may not lie any cause
for apprehension.
GATES LOSES MILLIONS.
Wail Street Cost Western Plunger j
Large Sum. I
New York. September 26.—Specula-j
tors received several hard raps during
Die laid few days, while operating on
Wall street, and the western contin
gent is reported to have suffered quite
extensively in the pulsating move
ments of the exchange. The enforced
liquidation due to the tightening ot
the money market is assigned as the
primal cause.
Tin- “western crowd,” as the Gatos
Drake Ilarris I.ambert forces have
been called, and the younger members
of the Goui.i-Vanderbilt-Koekefeller
combination lost, big bulks of money in
Die recent o'seillaUon, which depended
p a great measure upon the exorbi
tant interest charged on call money.
When the banks began to call loans
rigid and left and the interest charges
soared to unreachable heights the sel
ling prices showed a responsive ili
minui ion.
it. is estimated that the liquidating
sales of the Chicago group amounted
to ? 100,000 shares of stock and that
toe losses were upward of $2,000,600.
The Oou Id-Rocket e 1 ie r-Vantie r bi I

II HER HEART
IDLE TONGUES CAUSED VIRGINIA
GIRL TO END HER
LIFE.
SHE LEE! A SIMPLE NOTE
Indicating That Certain Rumors
Against Her Character Were so
Unjust That She Could Not
Stand Them.
Richmond, Va„ September 26.—1d1e
tongues caused Die taking of the life
today by her own hand of a pure
and beautiful girl J 7 years old in
Chesterfield county..
Eva Farmer, daughter of R. IJ. Far
mer, a id ..en well known in his
neighborhood, near Hopewell church,
stood before a mirror this morning and
tired a bullet from her father’s revol
ver into her heart. She was alone
in the house. Her mother, in thp
yard, heard the shot, but the girl was
dying when she reached her.
She left a simple note, indicating
that certain rumors against her char
acter were so unjust lliat sne could
not stand Diem and that she thought
it best to got out of file way of peo
ple. She asked her mother not to
grieve or let Tom believe the stories.

crazed willi grier over her untimely
end. lie says he has known her for

would today he a democrat if Abraham
Lincoln had been one.

The new constitution of < irginia
disfranchises the negro, and as lie is

for the support, of- that, class of white
