Violated Hack Ordinance at B. & B.
Depot.
Oscar Johnson, George Hays and
"Pork Chops,” three well known negro
hackmen, were arrested by Officer
Wilehar yesterday charged with vio
lating the hack ordinance.
The negroes were out to meet one
of the incoming B. & B. trains and
violated the ordinance by getting
over the line allowed for the hacks.
The officers have been having con
siderable trouble with the hackmen
at the depots and these three may be
made an example of in the police court
today.
Court of Appeals Bill Passed.
The senate passed Wednesday by
a vote ot' 34 to 1, the bill by Senator
Matthews of the twenty-third to create
a court of appeals. Senator Christie
of the eleventh cast the only vote

vides for a constitutional amendment,
and will have to be submitted to a
vote of the people at the next elec
tion provided it passes the, house.
The general judiciary committee of
the house has already reported favor
ably a similar bill, and it is believed
the house will pass it. It is designed
to relieve the supreme court from a
large amount of the business that now
devolves upon it.

ENTERS A COMPLAINT,
“Urban” Does Not Seem to Enjoy the
Early Morning Music.
Editor News: Will you kindly allow
me space to make a small lament? I
shall preface my remarks by exclaim
ing with the poet, “Oh for a lodge in
some vast wilderness!”
I am sure the said poet lived in a
neighborhood biessed(?) with musi
cians (?) who played ihe piano "from
early morn to dewy eve,” without re
gard to their neighbors' comfort. He
probably had vocalists in his vicinity
who made the early morning hideous,
who annihilated the Sunday morning
fiay by shouting hymn tunes, and
rudely broke tnto the afternoon siesta
by performing exercises and out-of
date compositions every day alter
dinner, to the intense sunering of their
hearers who arc driven to sigh for
the wilderness sung ny old Omar, but
minus tne singing.
In time we may get so civilized
that these disorders aud also tne ring
ing ot church bells (.oosoiete and un
necessary custom) may be relegated
to the dark past. Lei us hope it is
near at hand, in conclusion I will
voice the sentiment of old-fashioned,
conservative people by saying that it
is to be hoped that the latest flower
of civilization, shirt-waist dancing,
will soon ‘‘also pass aw-ay,” and be
relegated to a Uuu forgotten era,

Columbus Ga., Aug. 6.—Somewhat
of a sensation was caused In Girard,
Ala., this morning by the action of
squads from the Twin City Guards,
of that city, in arresting members of
of the company who were attempting
to avoid going with the company into
encampment at Montgomery.
At the Fourteenth street bridge a
detail halted Ed Wood, a young
man, as he was en route to his work
in Columbus. Woods has been a mem
ber of the company, but recently ob
tained a discharge, his enlistment
having expired. Wthien halted he
stated he was not a member of the
company, but the squad would not
accept his statement and started to
arrest him.
Woods drew a pistol and said he
would shoot the first man who touched
him. He began backing away and the
soldiers started to closing in around
him, until finally he was so close
pressed that he shot at Private Arthur
Taylor. The bullet missed him. The
squad knocked Woods down with
their guns, one private striking him
so hard that he broke the stock of
the gun.
Woods also received a bayonet
thrust, but the wound is not serious.
He was placed under arrest, but was
afterwards released when his state
ment that hfe was not a member of
the Company was verified by the cap
tain.
In one case the father of a young
man would not permit the squad to
arrest him.
The Guards carried sixty-eight men
to Montgomery to go in encampment
with the other companies of the Sec
ond* Alabama regiment.
COLORED TEAMS PLAYED
AN INTERESTING GAME.
St. Augustine Defeated Brunswick
Negroes 3 to 2.
The baseball game at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon between
the colored teams of Brunswick and
St. Augustine was witnessed by a large
crowd of white people and they thor
oughly enjoyed the game, which was
one of the most exciting ever seen on
the local diamond. Except for a few
little wrangles, which is a part of
the game with the colored teams, the
contest was a clean and snappy one.
The Brunswick negroes kept the
visitors down for eight innings by a
score of 2 to 0, but in that inning
the St, Augustine coons caught on
to the local pitcher and batted in
three runs. The St. Augustine pitcher
came in for a home run, knocking the
ball over the right field fence.
The game was fast and both teams
played well,, and it looked like a vic
tory for the locals up to the eighth
inning.
Crack Oarsmen in Competition,
St. Catherine, Ont., Aug. 6.—The
twenty-fourth an;uual regetta of the
Canadian Association of Amateur
Oarsmen, which began here today,
has attracted crack oarsmen from
many parts of the United States am.
Canada. The participationn of both
Titus and Scholes in the singles
causes keen interest to be manifested
in this event. In the senior eights
the Argonaut Rowing club of Toronto
will compete with the crack crews
of Winnipeg and ©others. The loss
of Dudley Oliver has weakened the
Argonaut crew- and it is felt that
someone of the other contestants
may carry off the honors of the Royal
Canadian Henley.

and Several Hundred People
are Expected Here on
Those Days.

is now completing its line to Ooilla,
and this carnival is to be given in
celebration of the occasion. The road

not only from Ocilla, but from every
point on the B. & B. will come down

Ocilla will give the road connection
with anew line, the Ocilla & Irwin
ville, which road was purchased by
the B. & B. several months ago. The
people of these two growing little
cities are quite anxious to secure a
direct connection with Brunswick and
the completion of the B, Hr XS,. will
afford it and they are coming here
in numbers to celebrate the occasion.
The program will be a very interest
ing one, and will consist of boat and
steam launch races, bicycle race,
military prise drill and dress parade
and baseball games between tho clubs
of Brunswick and Ocilla.

BRUNSWICK MAY
- GEIJ LEAGUE
Two Circuits Being Form
ed in Which We Are
Considered
WOULD BE FAST COMPANY
League of Amateur Clubs is Now Be
ing Organized and Brunswick
is Needed to Complete
the List.
The folowing from the Augusta
Chronicle will be of interest to Bruns
wick fans generally:
The Augusta-launched idea of a
six or eight club league for next year,
with short Jumps and a moderate sal
ary limit, is catching on In every city
propoed for membership in the lea
gue, and it is almost a sure fact that
the organization wIIJ be perflected
during the winter months.
As already told In t'We Chronicle,
local fandom is heartily in favor of
the league, and the Augusta Baseball
association will lead in the work of
organization. Through the news
papers and by correspondence the
znatter Is being agitated, and before
long will result in something definite.
The suggested cities are Augusta,
Columbia. Macon, Savannah, Colum
bus and Jacksonville, for tho six-club
league. There is also talk of making
it an eight-club league by including
Charleston and Brunswick.
The Columbia State declares that
the baseball association of that city
is ready to put a club in the league,
and Jacksonville says that they can
be counted in the league.
The following from yesterday's
Jacksonville Times-Union shows that
we are also being considered in an
other league:
. Florida is to heve anothor baseball
league. This one is to be strictly an
amateur one and will ho confined to
Fernandlna, Gainesville, Ocala and
Madison. It was stated yesterday
that Brunswick might, come In., but
this is somewhat doubtful, as that
city would be hard to reach by any
of the teams with the exception of
Fernandina..
The moving spirit behind this plan
is D. A. Mayfield of Fernandina, one
of the old-timers and one of the most
successful baseball managers in the
state. He was here yesterday and was
hopeful of getting the Roselnnds into
the league.
