CARDINALS HAVE
UNDERSTANDING
Rampolli and Gotti to
Help Each Other for
Pope’s Place
ANTE-RAMPOLLA MOVEMENT
If Gotti is Chosen He Will Carry Out
the Ideas of the Late Pontiff
—lnterest in the Election
is Acute.
Rome, July 24.—The discussion of
candidates for the successor to Pope
Leo XIII. grows more widespread as
the conclave of cardinals draws
nearer.
It is stated that if Rampoli finds
inn thee first ballot that he has a
considerable number of votes he will
try again. If he has a few votes and
one of his opponents has many he
will renounce his chance and he and
all his friends will support, first,
Cardinal Gotti, with whom he has
now come to some such agreement,
and an attempt to raise Gotti to the
supreme office, with Ram.polla as
ally, will be made. This would mean
the maintenance of Leo’s policy ou
exactly the same lines, and entrusted
to the same men.
But Gptti inspires great distrusi
because, as he belongs to religious
orders, he would render the situatiou
of the papacy extremely difficult at
the present moment, considering the
conditions prevailing in France,
Spain and the Phillipines.
It seems almost sure if at tire first
ballot it Is not probable thatt Gotti
can be successful this section of the
Sacred College will decide on Car
dinal Dipietro, one of Rampolla’s most
faithful followers. The anti-Kampolia
tendency has prominent candidates,
such as Cardinals Oreglia, Seranno,
v aunutolli, SaielU, and .-vgitorai
Cardinal Celestia, in an interview
on the spirit which would inspire
the conclave in the election of anew
Pope, said:
"Now, more than ever, we need an
energetic Pontiff, but at the same
time he must be prudent. Witn ex
treme measures one cannot rule.
With the middle course there is al
ways something to gain. 1 have ex
perienced this in my ten years' rule
in my bishopric.”
HIGH TEMPERATURE.
Recorded by Thermometers in "Cool”
Places Yesterday Afternoon.
We are experiencing some genuinely
hot weather in these parts just now.
Yesterday was a fair sample of what
old Sol can do when the notion strikes
him to steam things up here below,
and there are other days of the same
sort sure to follow.
Tlie thermometers in various parts
of the city yesterday registered all the
way from 97 to 100 degrees, maximum.
The JN T ews sanctum is one of the cool
est places in the city, having doors
and window-openings on every side, so
that a breeze passes Mao ugh if there
is a breeze on the wing. An electric
fan helps keep the temperature down,
yet, in spite of all these things, the
thermometer registered 97 degrees
yesterday afternoon at 2:3oo’clock. In
many places in the city the tempera
ture recorded by accurate thermome
ters was 100 degrees, and in some lo
calities the mercury even went higher.
Fortunately, the air wasdry and the
humidity was low. Had there been
any considerable moisture in the at
mosphere, prostrations from heat
would undoubtedly have occurred.
Reports from all over the country
would seem to indicate that the se
vere weather is general, and that we
are not suilering more than are the
people in other portions of Georgia
and in other States.
“HAS-BEENS” PLAYED A GAME.
Scorer, However, was Not Able to
Tell Who Wen Game.
While it was not advertised, quite
a crowd was out to the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon to witness thie ball
game between the “has-beens” and
to say that those present enjoyed
the contest would not be doing jus
tice to the players.
The two teams were composed of
men who. possibly’, years ago. could
play ball and who yesterday succeed
ed in making more runs than the scor
er could keep track of. and both sides
are claiming a victory by a big major
ity. The two sides weTe composed of
the following:
Champions: E. J. Allen. Symmes,
C. Hardy. J. W. Wilson, J. Ralston,
J. A, Montgomery, Bruiser Brown,
J. Symons.
All Stars: M N. McCullough. Rob
inson, Duryea. J. W. Bailey. B. Good
year, Brown, B. J. Butts, Flanders.
Six innings were played; When the
umpire called the game on account

BRUNSWICK, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1903.
ASSISTANT CHIEF
OWENS LEAVES
FORCE
♦
Suspended for a Month
He Sends In His
Resignation.
BERRIE IS NOW ACTING
Charges Against Owens Investigated
by Committee of Council and
Report was Rendered at Meet
ing Held Yesterday.
Assistant Chief of Police R. E.
Owens, at the meeting the city coun
cil yesterday afternoon, tendered ills
resignation, which was accepted, and
Police Officer Berry is now acting in
t he capacity of assist ant chief.
The resignation of Officer Owens
was brought about on account of
the recent, charges which were prefer
red against him by Attorney F. H.
Harris. The charges were investi
gated recently by council and the
matter was referred to a special com
mittee.
This committee rendered their re
port yesterday and recommended that
Officer Owens be suspended from duty
for thirty days, whereupon the officer
being present, tendered his resigna
tion.
The charges were brought against
Officer Owens by Attorney Harris on
account of a little difficulty which lie
had with a. negro liackiuan several
weeks ago. It. seems that Officer
Owens was after one bookman for an
offense and accidentally jumped on
the wrong man, who, through the
attorney, preferred the charges.
Officer Owens has served in the ca
pacity of assistant chief since the first
of the .year and he i << made a very ef
ficient officer and it to lie regretted
that lie had t he trouble.
Officer Berry is now acting in his
stead and a successor will probably be
elected at the next meeting of couucii.
JIM POLITE IS CONVICTED.
But He was Recommended to the
Mercy of the Court.
A special sent out from Ocala yes
terday says:
“A special term of court was held
yesterday and today to try Jim l’olite,
colored, for the murder of I). ,1. Heas
ley at Levon a month ago. The ne
gro was penniless, but R. A. Rurford,
one of the leading lawyers of thestate,
defended him at the request of the
court. The verdict was murder in the
first degree, but four of the jurors
recommended the prisoner to the
mercy of the court.”
Polite is a Brunswick negro and an
occount of his crime appeared in these
columns at the time it was commit
ted.
TURNER HAS ACCEPTED.
Able South Georgian Will Serve on
Supreme Court Bench.
lion. Henry G. Turner, of Quitman
has accepted I he appointment by Gov
ernor Terrell to the supreme court
bench, to succeed the late Justice
Samuel Lumpkin, and went on the
bench yesterday morning.
The supreme court is particularly
busy at the present time, and Judge
Turner's services will be needed. He
reached Atlanta Thursday night for
a conference with the goveronor, and
after talking it over with him at the
mansion, stated lie would accept.
Judge Turner will serve until the
election of his successor in October,
1904.
CROWDS WILL VISIT ST. SIMON,
Hot Weather Will Make Many Seek
the Seashore Tomorrow.
St. Simon will probably entertain a
large crowd tomorrow. The hot
weather of the past few will he
tiie cause of many of cur citizens
rushing to the seashore tomorrow to
enjoy the ocean bree/.e and take a dip
in l he surf.
The llessie line w ill look after Uie
large crowd that is expected to go to
St. Simon and the Hessies No. 1 and
2 wili both lie on the run.
The surf will suit for battling in the
afternoon.
Will Play Today.
The Pilots and tiie Second team
will play an interest ing game at the
fair grounds this afternoon. To make
it interest ing Walker and Bowen, the
Pilots'crack battery, will be loaned to
the second team.

Savannah.
COMMITTEDANOEHER CKIMi
Met a White Man on the Road, Held
Him Up and Relieved Him of
all the Valuables He
Possessed.
The following is taken from yester
day’s Savannah News:
Deputy Sheriff E. L. Craigmiles ol
Montieth was in Savannah yesterday
armed with a warrant for Ihee arresi
of Harry Watson, alias Ed Ross,
alias Claus, who assaulted Miss
Minnie Johnston at Darien Junction
some time ago.
Though the warrants in Deputy
Sheriff Craigmiles possession charges
thte negro with highway robbery the
officer says lie has every proof that,
the negro is the one wanted at Da
rien. He has known him for some
time. The negro is a native of Beau
fort, S. C. A few days after the as
sault on Miss Johnston ho held up a
prominent young white man named
Charles Tirnbee on the public road
between Tirnbee and Grahamvillc,
Ga, and this is the charge ou which
he will be arrested.
Deputy Sheriff Craigmiles said that
he bad located the negro and he left
Savannah last night to go and gei
him. "I know him like a book,’ salu
the officer, “and be is the trickiest
negro you ever saw. 1 notice that
the papers say that when Sheriff
Longstreet of Wayne County fired on
him while he was standing on a tres
tle as if shot. This is an old tnl,
of his, and he evidently did it to
Ahrow; his pursurers off thjcir guard,
fie is a desperate character and ?i
they had come upon him alter In
had fallen froun the trestle the
chances are that he would have killed
some of them Watson, or Claus a
he is known in Darien, evidently
needed money to gett away from the
vicinity In which, lie was dangerously
located a tew days after he had suc
ceeded in eluding his pursurers at
Darien, and he stopped young Tim
beee on the high road and took
everything valuable that lie had.”
The County Commissioners oi
Wayne county have offered a reward
of S2OO for the capture ol the negro,
whose revolting crime near Darien
Junction is still fresh in the minds
of the public. The Governor Had
added an offer of SIOO reward to that
offered by the commisianers in
Wiayne.
On the morning of July 10, Miss
Johnston, a young white woman re
siding at Darien Junction, on the
Darien and Western Railroad, was
badly beaten and then assaulted by
Claus. The crime was a most revolt
ing one. Miss Johnston was living
with the lauiiiy oi Mr. Forbes ai Oak
Hill, a statiou on the Darien and Wes
tern Railroad. Karly one morning
before the family was up, she went
about 2tto yards from the house into
the edge of some woods. Wjliile. there
siie was cnfronted by the negro, who
choked and beat her into insensibil
ity. She was dragged into the woods
where the negro leit her for dead.
Later she was missed and a search
resulted in her discovery. She was
carried to Darien and given medical
attention, and at first it was thought
that she would die, but at last ac
counts she was doing well. it the
negro is captured and carried back
to Darien there is but little doubt
but that he will be sum manly uealt

Hie day by telegrams to m veil people

The race for this place, to sue eed
Judge J. D. Sparks, is well known to
The News readers. There were three
candidates, A D. Gale, R. D. Mender,
arid Judge Courtland Symmees. All
three of the candidales have been
hard at work, lint the campaign has
been one of Hie cleanest and best na
tnred in Hi history ol political bal
tles.
Each of Up. candidates had the
very best of endorsement by the bai
and roople of Brunswick generally
So highly were the three candidates
endorsad that Governor Terrell evi
doniiHy had a difficult task to decide
which of the aspirants should be nam
ed, and be lias several times post
poned l lie appointment.
Dave Gale, the successful candidate,
is olio of the most popular young at
torneys In llruuswick, and yesterday
he was the recipient of many congrat-
not only by bis 1 fiends iu
thus city, hut front ail reel ions of the
state. He is one of the youngest mem
bers of the bar, and lias indeed been
honored by the Governor.
Mr. Gale has resided iu Brunswick
all of his life. He graduated in the
public ;sohools of the city Shortly
alter leaving school lie studied law
