THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 200. JUS INDICTED BY THE GRAND Jll rt TRUE BILL AGAINST CLINTON BROWN WAS RETURNED YESTERDAY. IS CHARGED WITH \ FELONY The City Jailer Accused of Assault With Intent to Murder—lndict ment Grows Out of Old Lamb Cage. As was to have been expected the grand Jury, at Its session yes terday morning, returned a true bill against Clinton Brown, at pres ent the city jailer, charging him with the offense of assault and intent to murder. The facts leading up to this indictment are familiar to the people of this city. Some time ago there was a differ ence between Brown and T. L. Lamb, at that time a member of the police force of the city of Brunswick. Brown, it is claimed, invited Lamb to accompany him into the rear of the city jail yard, and when some dis tance from the back entrance to the barracks, secured a gun, which he had secreted in the yard, and attempt ed to kill Lamb. The latter, seeing the situation, got out of the way before any damage wasi done. The cases were taken up by the city council and Lamb was discharged from the force for con duct unbecoming an officer and Brown was suspended for a period of 30 days. Here the matter rested until the grand jury met and took the case up from a criminal standpoint, with the above result. Of course, like all other cases of this character, there are several -sides of the story, and it likely that the truth of the matter will never be known until the case against Brown is finally placed on trial. The original case, disposed of by the city council, created considerable interest in the city and it is to be presumed that this development will be equally interesting. Up to a late hour last night the warrants had not ben placed in the hands of the sheriff, but it is more than likely that, it will be done early this morning. In the meantime tho defendant is under bond in the sum of one thousand dollar,-, having been so placed in the justice court. on Again today. The Methodist Ladies Will Serve Lunch. The lunch, served yesterday by the ladies of the Methodist Aid society was a success in every way. The ladies were well patronized and every one was pleased with the nice lunch served. They will serve lunch today and tomorrow at the same hours and prom ise a tine bill of fare. This evening from 7 to 10 they will serve ice cream and cake, and every body is invited to attend. IS LIVELY IN ATLANTA. No Telling Who Will be the Lucky Candidates. Atlanta, May 19.—The delegation of Brunswick Knights reached here ear ly this morning safe and sound. The election of officers seems to be almost the sole subject of conversa tion and verybody is more than in terested. There is no telling at this time who will be the lucky candidates. Odd Fellows Next. Six hundred Odd Fellows and a hun dred or more Rebakahs of Georgia will go to Atlanta next week to at tend the grand encampment, grand lodge meeting and assembly of Re bakahs. The grand encampmet will convene next Tuesday morning at the Turn Verein hall, 117 1-2 Whitehall street, and continues through a night session. On Wednesday morning the grand lodge will meet at the same hall. The regular session of the as sembly of the Rebakahs will be held Wednesday and Thursday at the Odd Fellows hall, corner of Alabama and Broad streets. Superintendent Visscher Here. Superintendent of Construction Visscher, of the Ferguson Contract ing company, contractors for the B. & B„ arrived in the city yesterday on l-u-iness, and will be here until this r,. in i.e luinu .run, ... . and ieports that thing- are moving on nicely at that end of the line. HERE LARGE EXCURSION CAME IN FROM POINTS ON A. & B. AND B. & B. The excursion train from points on the B. & B. and A. & 8., which was scheduled to arrive in the city at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, did not reach here until about 9 o’clock. The crowd is an unusually large one and are oft on a genuine good time. They come from various sections of the state between this city and Mon tezuma. They will remain here tomorrow and' next day, and will spend some time at the islad resorts before re turning to their homos. The crowd on the whole is a rep resentative one, and some of the most prominent citizens of that portion of the country. . Manager Jacobi was in the city cumulating amongst the new arrivals and as a result about one-half will go dow to Cumberland this morning on the steamer Emmeline. A number will also go to St. Simon, and it prom ises to be a good day with the resorts The tickets bear a three days limit and most of the visitors will stay over and take advantage of the oppor tunity thus given them. MACON THE GEORGIA DRUGGISTS ARE HOLDING SWAY IN THE CENTRAL CITY. Macon, Ga., May 19. —The Pharma ceutical association began its annual convention here this morning. The meetings are being held in An derson’s music hall, over Cable Cos., No. 357 Second street.

At 3:30 p. m., all will assemble at corner of Second and Cherry streets and take the electric cars ofr the club and a good time. RECKLESS RIDING. Cyclist Shuld be Forced to Discon tinue the Dangerous Habit. Several accidents have occurred recently caused by reckless bicycle riding and the police department should put a stop to it at once or there will be some lives lost. The reckless riding Is almost con fined to the colored population. It seems that when one of them get on a wheel they see how fast they can go down the principal sections of the city. The News hopes that the of icias will take a hand in the matter. Georgians Getting Pensions. Washington, May 19.—The southern states are receiving quite an increase in its modicum of pension money these days, since the operation of the act of congress increasing the pen sions of Mexican war veterans from $8 to sl2 a month, Georgia has been getting her share. Accident at Steel Plant. The large pile driver used in the driving of piles out at the site of the Mohawk Valley Steel and Wire Cos. was put out of business yesterday morning by an accident which hap pened to some of the machinery. It wa.. at once sei f jo ! ; .rcpairj.l, fI’WJ it is thought that tiie walk will lie resumed this morning. BIG DAMAGE CASE IS ON POO TODAY —♦ — INGRAM TO ASK THE HILTON DODGE LUMBER COMPANY FOR LARGE AMOUNT WAS TRIED ONCE BEFORE The Supreme Court .Reversed the Lower One and Ordered a New Trial—Many Witnesses. The mooted ease of Ingram, vs the Hilton-Dodge Lumber company, per sonal damages, will be called in Glynn superior court at the opening session of that tribunal this morning. This case does ont need very much introduction to the people of this city. Several years ago the plaintiff, while an employee in the mills of the defendant/company, at St. Simon, was the victim of a very serious accident, which, it is alleged, incapacitated the said plaintiff to such an extent that he could scarcely earn a livelihood. In the original trial of the case a verdict was rendered for the defend ant. However, Attorey D. W. Krauss, re representing Ingram, carried the liti gation to the supreme court, and that tribunal reversed the judgment of the lower court and ordered anew trial, hence the proceedings today. Messrs. Kay, Bennett & Conyers will appear for the Hillon-Dodgc Lum ber company and Col. D. W. Krauss will look out for the Ingram end of (he matter. A large number of witnesses front all sections of the state bae been summoned and' it is more than likely that the trial of the case wil con sume at least two days. THE MILL SEEMS CcrtTAm. Wisconsin Lumbermen Hav e Abput Decided to Locate Here. It is understood that information was received in the city yesterday to the effect that Messrs. Snell and Rice, of Wisconsin, who were here last week looking into the advisability of build ing a large saw mill here, have about decided to make the investment. When these gentlemen were in Brunswick they were seen by a rep resentative of the News and expressed themselves as being very much pleas ed with the city as a good site for a large and thoroughly up-to-date mill. They have recently purchased some very fine timber lands on the line of the B. & B. and other sections of the county, and it now seems more than probable that they will come to Brunswick and build the mill as was originally contemplated. If this be the case it may mean much for this city, and give us a new enterprise of the character that we really need. A Fight With a Swam of Bees. Hon. T. W. lamb, the well known Glynn county citizen, had an experi ence with a swam of bees Monday afternoon that he will not soon for get. He was doing some work on his farm and unearthed a swam, and be fore he could get away from them he had about fourteen remembrances of the occasion in the way of stings. He is not seriously hurt however. In a Week. In the course of a few days “Mar tin’s palace of sweets,” successors to Lloyd’s place, on Newcastle street, will be open. This, when completed, will be one of the most attractive places in the city. Mr. Martin hopes to be in position to serve the public in the course of a week. Work Goes On. The work of dredging in the harbor goes steadily on and the water and mud pumped up from the bottom of the river through long pipes to a point back of the jetties where it rapidly forms a solid mass and adds to the strength of the jetties. It is an inter esting sight to see the pump at work and tourists to and from the island resorts view the workings dally and speculate on how and why it i3 done. . i ~®i Is Deserted. Jekyl Island presents a practically deserted appearance, all the guests having gone and the cottages are boarded up for the summer. The last season was the best one that Jekyl ever had and it Is probable that more c<Y, will bn built before the next season opens, as the island is growing each year in popularity. BRUNSWICK, GA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1903. MORE TWO OTHER CONCERNS CHARTERED BY JUDGE PAR KER YESTERDAY. Two more new business cocerns were incorporaien in the superior court yesterday morning which means that the commerce of the city is to be enhanced by just that many new and important ones. Probably the most important of the two, is the Glynn Development com pany, which is organized by a num ber of the most prominent business men of the city. The company, which is. a brad new one, propose to en gage largely in the handling of real estate and improved property. The incorporators are among the most sub stantial business representatives of the community, and there is bo ques tion but what the concern will, in a short time, rank among the sound est concerns of the fjlty. The Stanley Land Go., like its broth er Incorporation, is anew venture in business Brunswick. It will have be hind it some very strong people. It will also make the real estate line a special field of endeavor and It is more than likely to succeed. The News extends its very best wishes to both of the new organiza tions. UNITE FIRE INSURANCE CONCERNS TALK OF FORMING A BIG DEAL. The following sent out under an Atlanta date line, of May 18, will he of interest in Brunswick fire insur ance circles generally: ’’Current fire insurance rumors speak of the early amalgamation of the Southeastern Tariff association,, and the Southern Inspection bureau, F. J. McFadden, now secretary of the burtan, as assistant secretary. The S. E. T. A. is now allowed by reason of anti-compact laws, to op erate only In Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Virginia. The bureau does not make rates, but makes surveys of special hazards and leaves it to the companies to name their rates, thus being to operate in all the southern and southeastern states. Interested managers point out many advantages of the amalgamation, which is also looked upon favorably by company headquarters. Under present arrangements the two con cerns impose a rather heavy tax upon their members, and tho expense of maintaining the two separately is greater than if they were one. It is also believed that better results can ho obtained by operating both bodies from one headquarters. The projected amalgamation will be a matter of very great interest to all fire insurance agents as well as to every company operating in this sec tion." LtFT MONETARY DELEGATES SAILED FROM NEW YORK FOR LON DON YESTERDAY. ..New York, May 19. —Mess. Hanna, Jenks and Conant, who will represent the United States at the Internation al Monetary Commission, cailed tor London today. While enroute the commission will map out a detailed plan for the work which takes them to Europe. Tho object of this commission, ac cording to ono of the delegates, is to bring about stability in the cost of gold bills of exchange. The present uncertain conditions leave the cost of .merchandise and speculation one of great risk, not only of (failure tio make profit but of loss. The subject is a very greaat impor tant one. Any measure of success warrants the effort that this gov ernment is now making in reference to the appeal of China and Corea. Both Made Happy. In the News want column of yes terday there appeared two advertise ments. One for a lost dog, the other for a lost cat, and before 9 a. m., both advertisers had the animals re turned to them. The News can find anything: from a cat to a hundred dol lar bill. '' ih read by the people. i THOUSANDS WIE ON IDE SCENE + NEW ORLEANS IS A GLEAM OF LIGHT FIR THE WEARERS OF THE GRAY. USUAL POST-DAY SERVICES _ General Gordon Present and Delivers an Address That Sets the Old Rebel Heart to Beating. New Orleans, May 19.—More than fifty thousand visitors were in tho city today to attend the thirteenth annual reunion of the Confederate veterans. Asa preliminery to the for mal opening of the convention the us ual memorial services in honor of Jefferson Davis were held in Christ’s church at 10 o’clock this morning un der the the auspices of the Southern Memorial association. An hour later thousands were strug gling to enter tho convention auditor ium at the fair grounds, where short ly after 12 o’clock, the great gathering was called to order by General 1,. B. Levert, commanding the Louisia na division of Confederate veterans. In the great crowd of grand old men there were delegates from ev ery southern state. Th auditorium a great structure, was a solid mass of Confederate flags and hunting and pictures of Lee, Jackson and other leaders of the Confederacy. There was not a foot of vacant space in this mammoth building when after the prayer by , Chaplain-Gen sral of the associaiton, General Le vert introduced Governor Heard who in a patriotic speech welcomed the visitors. Mayor Capodeville exten ded a greeting on behalf of the city of Now Orleans. After the rendering of /afew mel chairman of the reunion committee, presented the building to the veterans. He told of the services which Louis iana had rendered to the Confeder ate cause of the tribulation of the 'people of New Orleans during those 'trying days and referred to the city [as the home of Beauregard and other I famous heroes of the war. | General John B. Gordon arose to respond to the address but it was at 'least ten minutes before the enthti siam at the sight of their old loader could be controlled by the presiding officer. The waving of flags, the hur rah of the old veteran-- and the gen eral great welcome accorded to Gen eral Gordon is a sight never to he forgotten. Mon who iiave never at tended the reunions before, saw their old commander for the first time since they left him at the ciose of the war. General Gordon looks any thing but well. When order was re stored the General responded to the address of Mr. Krutchitt. In accept ing the building General Gordon than ked the people of New Orlenas for the warmth of the welcome and made touching reference to the recent death of General Moorman, for many years Adjutant of the Confedtrate Veter ans association and a prominent resi dent of New Orleans. Following the address of General Gordon a number of others spoke, tho initial committees were appointed and the convention adjourned to attend a reception given by the Daughters of the Confederacy. There Is a strong fight on for the next meeting place and there is no telling where it will go as yet. Sav annah has a strong committee hero and is doing everything possible to secure the convention for 1904 but it is said that the chances are in favor of another city. A Pretty Place. There is not a more complete res taurant in this section that James W. Wilson’s and the people should show their appreciation of Mr. Wilson’s ef fort to give them what they have long needed by liberally patronising him. Everything is first class in every res pject. Will Return Sunday. Most of the veterans and others who went from this city to the Confedeiate reunion at New Orleans, will return Sunday morning. Some few will re main until later next week but the majority will reach here before Mon dap morning. No Afternoon Session. The grand jury met yesterday morn ing and held a very interesting ses sion, investigating a number of mat tois. They adjourned, however, at noon unt.l ten o'clock this morning LOOKING 'FIRST GEORGIA REGIMENT MAY I CAMP ON CUMBERLAND OR ST. SIMON. Tilt officers of the First Georgia rog i iment, of which tho Riflemen of this | city are attached, are now looking for j a suitable site for the encampment to be held this summer. Committees have visited Augusta and other points, . hut as yet have not. decided on a point. The object is to secure a place as near at hand as possible in order to save milage and other expenses. The members of the Riflemen have been discusing the situation, and the matter will be taken up at the meeting of that company to be held this evening with a view of trying to in duce the regiment to come to Cumber land or St. Simon for their camp. It is thought that committees will he appointed to visit Savannah and confer with the officers of the regi ment and it is not unlikely that they can be induced to come to one or the other of the two places'. There is a splendid site on St. Si mon and if the Savannah officers can he persuaded to come over and take a look al it they will surely be im pressed with it. ORGAN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF THIS CITY TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. It is very probable that within the next few months a magnificent new pipe organ will he installed in the Presbyterian church. For several days the movement to get this in strument has been under way and as surances of subscriptions to pay for same have been generous and sulli e|snl Ig number and amounts to war plated. It is estimated the new or gan wilt cost about $1,500. The present pipe organ now in use will be given in part exchange for the new one. This movement on the part of tho Presbyterian church will be in line with the progress that the church has been making for the past five years. During that time some $13,000 have been raised for church purposes by tlie congregation. Tho church debt has been entirely paid and the finan cial affairs have been placed on a sound basis by the officers and mem bers of the .congregation. CAPT. DART EXPLAINS. Reasons Why He Misses the Singing Contest. Mr. Edwin Brobston, President New Town Debating Socle* y. Dear Sir: —I regret very much (hat I could not appear in the musical con test last night, especially as 1 had carefully prepared my ballad, and, as an encore, had selected a cathchy love song dedicated to one of your charm ing attendant- ; hut on yesterday ev ening was informed by Mr. Clarence Heavy that he and three of his friends would render a quartette. From the musical personnel of the quartette 1 could not see how I could with duo respect to classic music, ap pear; when I knew it would result in such an abortion. At some future meeting of your society it will give me pleasure to delight the members with some of my renditions. Respectfully, U. DART. P. S.—l trust the ladies were gov erned by my suggestion, a.- no doubt they had use for their ear muffs last night. Had I attended my illness would have ben much more acute than stated. U. D. Things Look Bright. Chief Engineer Roberts, of the B. & B„ returned from a business trip to New York yesterday and was seen by a News reporter. The geniel cap tain does very little talking, but when asked of the situation in Gotham, he simply said: “it looks brightt to me.” To Last Three Weeks. It is more than probable that the superior court will remain in session for at. least throe weeks and during that time it will have to spare mom ents. The story case will probably be the longest winded tried. It will more than likely consume two days iu this one alone. PRICI FIVE CENTS. SECOND OA! Of SUPERIOR COURT 4. CONSIDERABLE ROUTINE MAT ' TERS HANDLED BUT RECORD OF FIRST DAY IS GOOD THE JURY PLAYED IN LUGK All But One Panel Excused for a Half Day—Sealed Verdict Returned in Foley Case. Yesterday’s session of Glynn super ior court did not expert iatc the bus iness with tlie rapidity that charac terized the first day’s session of that tribunal. There were lots of long drawn out arguments on the part of various counsel and all in all the day was not a time saver. At noon the jury in the case of the Acme Brewing company, vs. Tlios. Foley was given to the jury. In the' meantime the court had excused the other panel of jurors, and at four o’clock, the jury still being out, the court took a reces until 8 o’clock this morning.

It’s easy to Shake off the Coffee Habit There are many people who make the humiliating acknowledgement that they are dependent upon Cof fee to “brace them up” every little while. These have never learned the truth about Postum Cereal Coffee which makes leaving off coffee a sim ple matter and brings health and strength in place of coffee ills. A lady of Davenport, lowa, who has us ed Postum Food Coffee for five years is competent to talk upon the subject. .She says: "I am a school teacher and during extra work when 1 thought I needed to be braced up I used to indulge in rich, strong coffee of which I was very fond and upon which I thought 1 was dependent. "I began to have serious heart pal pitation and at times had sharp pains around the heart and more or less stomach trouble. I read about Pos tum and got some to try. I dropped coffee, took up the Postum and it wor ked such wonders for me that many of my friends took it up. "in a short time I was well again even able to attend evening socials, and 1 did not miss my coffee at all. Now l can truthfully say that I have been repaid fully for the change 1 made. 1 have no indications of heart disease and not once in the past four months have I had a sick headacho or billious spell. "My lather, 78 years old, is a IJos tum enthusiast and feels that his good health in a large measure, is due to the six cups of good Postum which he enjoys every day,” Name furnished by Postum Cos., Bat le Creek, Mich. There is a reason. To Meet Tonight. The members of the Brunswick Ri flemen will hold a very important business meeting in their armory tiiis evening and among other things the proposed encampment of the First Georgia regiment, and where it is to bo hold will be taken up and discussed. Still at Work. A force of hands is still at work tearing away the old market building on Newcastle street. As previously stated the material in this wreck is to be used for the foundation to the new school building, which is tv be erected iu New Town. , t
