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 of darknasa. 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.

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.

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.
