Judge J. D, Sparks, of the city court
of Brunswick and Col. F, H. Harris,
a well known attorney, engaged in an
altercation yesterday morning as tha
result of the trial of a case before
Justice of the Peace Falim.
The case was that of a negro vs.
thee Brunswick & Birmingham Rail
road Company. Judge Sparks was re
presenting the defendant company
while Col. Harris appeared for the
negro. It seems that the argument
became somewhat spirited, then grew
"hot.” The word “lie" was passed
between the attorney and a fightt re
sulted.
However, before very many blows
had passed between them friends in
terforred and the little scrap came to
a close. Neither of the attorneys re
eled a black eye in t.be mlx-up.

surprise. In some quarters, in fart,
the announcement had been discount
ed. The market opened irregularlar
and fractionally lower. It rallied just
before the Holly failure was announc
ed. afteT which it declined slightly
and then rallied auaia.
CARDINALS ARE
NOW PREPARING
—f —
Vatican Scene of Much
Hurry and Activity
During Day
MEET IN SISTENE CHAPEL
Cardinals Met Yesterday and Decided
Against Sending Note to Powers
as to Condition of
Holy See.
Rome, July 27. The Vatican re
sembles an ant hill, |0 feverish is the
work of preparing a partol' that build
ing for the meeting of the conclave.
The section destined for the conclave
comprises, on the ground floor of the
Vatican, three suites of rooms, which
surround the famous court of San Da
masco, tlie rooms under the late
Pope’s apartment, and the tower with
tiie rooms about the sala ducale. On
the second floor rooms about the Log
gia Raphael and the pontifleiai office,
comprising all the apartments form
erly occupied by Cardinal Rani po)la.
who has left the Vatican altogether,
will be used.
The whole will furnish a commo
dious lodging place for about 500 per
sons. The Sistine chapel, as in the
last conclave, will be used for the
meetings of the cardinals for balloting.
Assurances have been given that
everything will be in readiness for
Friday night, but much is yet to he
accomplislied.
The cardinals, at the meeting today,
again discussed the advisability of
sending a note to the powers regard
ing the condition of the holy see.
Some of them insisted on the necessity
of not allowing the occasion to pass
without a protest against the occu
pancy of pontifleiai territory by Italy,
thereby showing that the papacy is
determined to maintain its claims un
abated. Others said they thought
such a note would not add any force
to the many protests of the same kind
already made, while, it might interfere
with the policy which the future Pune
may desire to follow, and added |Sh
best tiling to do was to leave the sif§
cessor of Leo XIII. entirely free tc|
choose the course which lie may con
sider best for the good of the faithful
aud general interests of the church.
TO TRY STATE SENATORS.
Four of Them to be Arraigned in Jef
ferson City.
Jefferson City, July 27.—'The term
of the circuit court which began to
day is likely to prove the most inter
esting in many years, as the four
state senators indicted on charges of
accepting bribes to accomplish or de
feat legislation are to be tried.
The indicted senators are AVilliam
P. Sullivan, of Christian county, Buell
Matthews, of St. Louis county, F. 11.
Farris, of Crawford county, and Chas,
A. Smith, of St. Louis city. The ex
pectation that former Lieutenant
Governor John A. Lee and several
other politicians of widest prominence
will be brought into the net before
the term is ended adds to the general
interest in tire proceedings.
This interest is already being mani
fested by the arrival of numerous vis
itors and it is expected that within a
few days the number of visitors in the
ity will be as large as that attracted
by a session of the state legislature.
A BIG EXCURSION COMING,
Atlantic & Birmingham Railroad Will
Bring Hundreds.
The Atlantic & Birmingham rail
road is advertising the biggest excur
sion of the season for the latter part
of next week, from all points oil its
line to Brunswick.

several hundred people. From Doug

hundred will come, accompanied by
a brass band of that city. As the

time in the city.

BRUNSWICK, GA., TUESDAY MORNIN. JULY 28, 1903.
POISONED
HUSBAND
•••■* ‘ **j i' l • .f 1 ••* •
Negroes Think Geo. Mack
was Poisoned By
His Wife
CARRIED HIM ICE CRBAM
Negro and His Wife Had Been Separ
ated—He Became lli, She Called
With Cream and He Died
y •
Few Hours Later. \
\ *
Geo. Mack, a well known negro, died
very suddenly Sunday night and many
negroes of the city are under the im
pression that his death was due to
poisoning lit the hands of his wife,
from whom he had been separated for
somife time,
It seems that Mack became slightly
ill Saturday and sent for Buggs, the
colored doctor, who was attending
him..
The wife of Mack learned that lie
was ill and went to the house on
Albany street where her husband
rented a room. Sunday afetrnoon the
man was up and about and the colored
physician announced that ho was
adiout well.
However, the wife came to see him
Sunday afternoon and hrougiht along
some ice cream and soup. Late in the
afternoon Mack ate the ice cream.
The wclman stated that she would
remain there during the night, aud
some time before yesterday she awoke
others in the house and announced
that her husband was dead, and it
seems to he the opinion of those best
acquainted with Mack and the woman,
who he had not seen for some time,
put som poiisonous drug in the cream.
The colored physician was notitted
hut he refused at first to issue a death
certificate and Corornor Jennings was
notified.
The law says that where there is
an attending physician no inquest is
necessary, unless someone makes tile
charge that the dead person came lo
liis deah from poison. As this charge
was not made by any one, Cororner
Jennigs, of course, did not hold an
-inquest, and the negro was buried yes
terday afternoon.
Another strange occurence about the
death is that when the cororner went
to the house yesterday afternoon anil
asked where the wite of Mack was,
~e was informed that she had secured
a dray and removed all of her dead
husband’s belongings to the home ol
her father, where she had been living
since they separated, and she has not
since been around her dead husband.
