THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 26. CAPT. NEWMAN OH THE SITUATION THE SAYS THAT HE WILL ANSWER TO THE CALL OF THE PEOPLE. ON MAYORALITY QUESTION Captain Newman Talks Very Inter estingly of the Issues of the Coming Cam paign The card of “New Town Voter." in Saturday’s News came in t,he nature ot a surprise in political circles and was the absorbing topic Saturday and on all sides Captain Newman has loomed up as a probable mayor ality candidate in the coming muni cipal election. Indeed, so many favorable comments were heard cm the subject that a News representative sought Captain Newman for an interview on the sut> jeet and when questioned he said that, he was not seeking the office in anj) sense of the word. sfTTi! if the people desired him to serve in the capacity of mayor and sufficiently demonstrat ed that fact, that he would feel it his duty to yield to their wishes and be-i coipe a candidate. The captain said he had no stictures to make on Mayor Emanuel, at the same time he felt that al! good citi zeus should answer when duty calls. From all indicaions the News is of the opinion tnat he will be in the race. WILL BE NO MERGER. The Savannah Morning News, dis cussing toe. proposed merger of the Atlantic Coast Line and he L. and N. says: No merger of the properties of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company and the lAHiisville and Nashville Rail road Company Is looked for. Ii is be lieved that the Atlantic Coast Line will simply control the majority of the stock of the L. and N and that the for mer will direct the policy of the lat ter. The genera! impression has been there will be a consolidation. It is believed in railroad eircls that the management of the two properties will remain distinct and separate. It is not likely that there will he even joint agencies. Only In an interchange of business and in a mutual workng for the advantage of the two lines will the control of the Louisville and Nash viiic by the Atlantic Coast Line he observable. This is the view that has ben ex- Tnis is the view that has been ex pressed by railway authorities in Sa annah. They do not consider that the acquisition of the majority of the stock of the Louisville and' Nashville by the Coast Line is to be followed by a consolidation of the properties. The respective heads of tne two companies will be continued!, it is thought and no official changes are looked for after the Atlantic Coast meeting that is to be held very soon, when tne stockholders are to ratify the purchase of Louisville and Nashville stock from J. Plerpom Morgan and Company;, the increase of tne capital stock of the Coast Line bonds, with the newly acquired stock of the Louisville and Nashville as se curity. .. The Atlantic Coast Line Company of Connecticut is not on the Lousville and Nashville deal. The Atlantic Coast Line Company is acting. Tne discussion of the heads of the Coast June and the Louisville and Nasnville leaves Mr. Walters and Mr. Smith, respectively, at the helm . For Mr. Smith and his policy, Mr. Walters it is said, has the highest regard, and it "fa not calculated that there will be any; Louisville and Nashvilee changes because of the Coast Line • control. Mr. R. G. Erwin, president of the Plant System before s ia t property! was merged with the Coast Line, will not become president of the latter. Seme time ago there was a report that such was to be the case, but it now transpires that there is little iikeij khood of such a turn. ANOTHER NEW YORK TRAGEDY. Wm. C. Turner Kills Two and Then.

Gordon-Sliay Grand Opera Company Made a Big Hit. Because of accidents in the News’ composing room Saturday nigat, it was impossible to comment on the production of "Carmen" at the Grand by the Gordon-Sliay Grand Opera ('.oinpany. The opera was the musical event of the season and was enjoyed by a large and cultured audience. Miss Shay, the prima ilontia, who sang in the title role, has a voice of true merit and genuine sweetness. II is splendidly trained and the charming little singer was bewitching in tne co quettish role of "Carmen." As Don Jose, Mr. John Frederick displayed a wonderful tenor, and Mr. Jodn Dunsmore, as Don Gairi, gave the audience a well modulated barn tone. *“'• Miss Noldi, as Michaela, has a sweet little soprano and Miss Eloise Bishop, who sang Mercedes, is gifted wth a fine contralto. All in all, the program was a real musical treat So the people of Bruns wick and was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.

There will be only one attraction at the Grand this week—--Wednesday night, when the Brunswick theater goers will have the pleasure of seeing Paul Gilmore in tne Tyranny of Tears. This will probably be one of the best attractions of the season and he will be greeted by a large house. A too-loving wife, a literary man explains the dominant sentiment in and his female amanuensis are prom inent characters in Haddon Cnambers' comedy, “the Tyranny of Tears,” which will be seen at the Grand Wednesday night with Paul Gilmore as the star. The wife discovers her husband's secretary looking admir ingly at a portrait of her husband, with whom the secretary has been in close association daily. She resorts to tears, threats and entreaties, most ly tears, to persuade her husband to dismiss the secretary, who afterwards explains the ’dominant, sentiment in her mind white gazing upon his pic ture was a pity for a man subjected to the tyrannical appeal of his wife to tears as a weapon with wnich to subdue him.

IOUCHES BOAIiD 01 i RADI. The Colonel Points Out the Fact that the Board is Recreant to its Duty and Urges More Interest. Editor Brunswick News: Brunswick excels any commercial seaport in the United Slates, in (he percentage of increase ot commercial business since 1 s:a N.> city with the volume of business done here can do without a Board of Trade. Within its sphere of action it is essential as as is the city governp incut. We had an effective Board of I rude for a number years pre ceding the panic of lsffij. interest begun to die in 1892. There was a small contingent who tried to heap it. Alive, but it practically died in the panic. It had a resuroetion in fobO. Over 100 business men became mem bers. The attendance was large, and through its agency much good was ac complished. Bui the old lack of ini, r est is threatening Us existence. A hare quorum can be procured, and In laces of those who constitute ihalj quorum arc I be same each week. ■’here arc members who attend only When some matter of especial personal interest in them is to he considered, Gn Friday las), at the regular meet ing of a bare quorum, the secretary) was requested to bring to the attent ion of the board and its official act ion upon a condition of tilings to be of vital importance .to tin- lumber inter est-, probably the largest interests at l iiis poi t. There are quite a number of lum ber shippers members of the Board of Trade, yet not such a member was present at the meeting, with the bare exception of the president, who was •here as president of the hoard. The board declined to assume tne responsibility of taking any action until such time as a membership was present from among the lumber ship pers to parjlicipate and suggest In teiiigent action This condition of affairs seems to the writer deplorable. It is not a particu larly pleasant duty to give from twen ty. minutes to one hour to a Board of Trade meeting each week, but it is an important duty: which.if omitted, will prove an injury to our business inter ests.
