This i; a compliment that any citi

Gentlemen: j
In acknowledging the receipt of
your favor of the 12th instant, advis
ing that I had been nominated by the
Good Government club as one of tne
candidates for the board of aldermen.
I wish to express my appreciation of
this evidence of confidence upon the
part of the members and. supporters
of the organization. During the pe
riod 1 have be-‘n connected with the
present city administration. 1 can say
that I believe the mayor "and aldcthnen
ive been entirely conscientious, and
faithful In the discharge of their offi
cial duties. Much has been accom
plished for the good of Brunswick, and
much more can be accomplished if the
taxpayers will give their support as
they have within the past two ou -ree
years. Tne city's credit has bapn re
stored and its financial affairs ate on
a sound basis, all hills and •P..g:i
tions being promptly 'met. Such pub
lic inTjirttvemehts have been m.-fede as
the condition of the treasury permit
ted. With tin- debt so largely reduced
much more can be done durfcng the
next-two years in improving ;uul beau
tifying our streets and parks. While
1 approve-all the provisions of the
platform adopted by the elut> at the
noniinateing meeting, there is one
plank that i particularly tav-or, and
t ;iat is the proposed appropriation of
five thousand dollars, which is to he
ittadeTn older to enable the hoard oi
education to erect a substantial school
building in New Town. Perhaps a rua
j-nTcy of the children who attend the
pulnic scaoolOive in _,ew Town, and
the zffstsace to the present school
makes another hiplding a necessity.
Snould my past record be endorsed at
the polls in December, I shall continue
to do all in my power to give faithful
service in Lite discharge of my official
duties. Very truly, yo-.jrs,
T. Newman.

young woman of Brunswick, On., At
thur Milton Golden lias been under ar
rest ‘acre upon the charge that lie
falsely represented himself as a in,on
er of tiu' Masonic order.
A letter received from Brunswick a
f?w days ago brought about Golden’s
arrest. Chief Sylvester declines to
give the "name of tne young.lady, but
he tells her story. Golden appeared
iu Brunswick some time
a Knight -Templar charm, a. Mystic-
Shrine butt At an A a ring representing
the thirty-secomljdegree of Hie An
cient Scottish onkit'. He was a dec
orator by trade, and carried with him
an array of possiiiitles calculated to
appeal to the feminine heart. The ma
sonic emblems assisted materially in
this.
This won the heart of the Georgia
girl and elicited front her the promise
to marry him. Then he disapeared
and she wrote Chief Sylvester ma..
lug inquiries a-,out him. Tne result
was his arrest. The Investigation ol
the member rolls of the different
lodge* with which nejolaimed couuec,,
tiun showed that Ills flame wah not
there, and he was held, pending inves
tigation. He was finally released,
however, because it became plain to
the detective department, after inves
tigation, that he had appropriated
these masonic charms, simpiy for the
purpose of impressing women with
| whom he came in contact.
An investigation of his papers hen
disclosed a dumber of letters from
women in different parts of the conn-,
try, some, or even all, of whom seem,
to have ground for the same sort of
complaint as tnat made by the young
lady from Brunswick.
AsL there Is no criminal cnarge on
which to hold him the man was re
leased.
A News reporter’ endeavored to se
cure'some facts on the subject, hut
nothing more than is told in the dis
patch Could be learned, and it js not

is iu the case.

As will he seen by refafer.ee to-the
list of acceptances nam\ at Friday's
mass meeting J. W. Thomas, one of
the aldermanic candidattfe, for busi
ness reasons, is compelled to decline
the nomination. .
When litis was reported yes'erdnjJ
the people generally began t.o figim*
m a candidate as a substitute for Mr.
Thomas, and the name of Captain To
bias Newman was at once in the put),
lie mouth.
This genial gentleman was besieged
tinring the entire day by '•visitors from
nil the walks of life, who urged him
to accept a place on the ticket named
at Friday's mass meeting.
Captain Newman has done some val
uable service during hit: tenure of of
flee atraidennan aiid the people deeply
appreciate his valuable work.
A News representative-called m the
captain yesterday and when asked
whether or not he would accept a
place 011 the ticket, he raid:
“I have always been subject to the
call of my fellow citizens and I great
ly admire the manner in which the
candidates of Friday's maps meeting
were nominated. I do not now and
have never favored jtar chamber ses
sions in the nomination of officers to
serve in public places. So far as the
proposed nomination is concerned, if
another mass meeting is held and I
am nominated I should feel it my duty
to accept the call.
"With reference to the candidacy of
Judge Crovatt I can simply say I have
ro fault' to find with, him

grand master and the head of the Odd
Fellows ot this slate, will lie in Bruns

urogram for the day. l
Tdnight In the hall 1 in the Elliott
building Mr. McAlpine will deliver an
address to tip- local organizations, and
altogether his visit is expected to he
t< very pleasant one.
A POOR MAIL SERVICE.
Atlantic Coast Line Only Runs One
Train a Day.
Every station on the Atlantic Coast
Line, between Bfnnswick and Albany,
is kicking on the unsatisfactory mail
service of that, road.
There is only one train a day, each
way, that carries mail, and the people
and press generally have interested
themselves in the matter and are fight
ing for service.
Bt runswick should join in this fight
as we are also effected by the poor
service.
If a letter is mailed in Brunswick
after 3 o’clock to go any where on
that line it remains in the postoftice
until the afternoon of the next, day, as
the morning train does not carry mail.
For instance, if a letter is mailed to
night it does not leave the postoftice
until 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
and it is hoped that the officials of
the A. C. L. will take up the matter at
once.
STORES MAY ALL CLOSE.
Petition to Be Circulated Asking Mer
chants to Close on Thanksgiving.
If is very probable that all of the
business houses in the city will close
on Thanksgiving and allow their
clerks a holiday.
It is understood that a petition wili,
he circulated among the merchants to !
day, and they will, of course, all sigr
It.

ERWIN TO IKE
ftNOTER EFFORT
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS
FIGHT HAS NOT YET BEEN
ABANDONED .
GREENE AND GAYNOR CASE
•
Government Not Willing tj Let the
Present Status of the Case Con
tinue—Suit Against Relatives
of Carter.
, Washington, November 24.—United
Slates District Attorney Erwin has
been in Washington for several days
in connection with the Carter east-.
He left liere today for Chicago, where
he a pears for the government in cer
tain proceedings before a master.
These are brought by the government
against two relatives of Captain Car
ter to force a snowing of certain
property of Captain Carter of which
they n.e imposed to have entire pos
session. Tne amount originally in
volved was if 1 20,0( . At the hearing
which iias been ir. progress for some
time, the dofendai t Lave shown that
about $(10,000 of Captain Carter’s
property which was in their hands
was transferred by tnejii before these
proeet uings were begun. This is, of
course, beyond the teach of the gov
ernment, or at least tne responsibility
of these particular defendants for that
sum is cleared away. Mr. .a win is
pressing the case with the idea of
forcing the payment to (he govern
ment of the remaining $90,000.
He declines to discuss tne detail.-; of
this particular proceeding fuither
than to express his confidence in se
curing for Hie government other sums
in addition to the large amounts no
tms alu-udy secured. With regard to
/ * ** !
Green and Gayuor ho is equally reti
cent, but he intimates that the govern
ment of the United States is by
no means willing to let the present
status of taeir ease continue, and that,
further efforts to bring those two back
Horn Canada will he made. Just what
shape thes^proceedings will take Mr.
Erwin naturally declines to say. The
protect ton which Canadian authorities
have given Greene and Gayuor, in the
face oi tiie fact that the iaw sustains
every step the legal authorities of this
government took to secure them,
stands, of course, as the special har
rier for their protection. Formal com
plaint has been entered by this govern
ment against the official interference
which had so far prevented the return
oi Greene and Gaynor, but it is im
possible as yet to say whether that
will bring tangible results.
