Winnie Davis Memorial Remembered
—Soldiers Home Gets an Appro-
I I priation and the Convict Bill
\ Passes—Other Notes.
Atlanta, Aug, 12.—Amidst, all kinds
of love feast scenes, the Georgia leg
islature adjourned this evening. It
was like the parting of old friends.
Discords were swept to the winds.
Men who had been saying all kinds
of black things about each other
caught the inspiration and when the
gavel in both of the houses fell for
the last time, it did so amid the echoes
of “Auhl laug syne” and other old.
time melodies.
The day’s session in ' both houses
was without incident, that is in a
general way. Of course there were
a large number of local bills that took
the railroad route and were hurried
through and a few bills of general in
terest were passed. Among the most
of these may be named the
foljnwing: The convict bill passed,
witiy'U. tew unimportant amendments;
a bill appropriating $2,500 for the
soldiers home; a bill appropriating
$6,000 for the Winnie Davis memorial
fund and others.
A large number of Che members left
for their homes this evening and oth
ers will leave in the morning.
There is a good deal of special com
mittee work remaining on hand and
of course this will keep a large num.-
ber of the members in the city for
several days yet.
MUCH INTEREST
IS BEING TAKEN
r
IOWA FORESTERS ARE HOLDING
- BUSY SESSION—MANY. IM
PORTANT QUESTIONS,
Dubuque, la,, August 11, —Fifteen
thousand is a conservative estimate
of the number of delegates and visi
tors here for the international con
vention of the Catholic Order of Fo%
esters. The record breaking attend
ance is due in a large measure t.o the
number of important questions to be
disposed of by the convention.
The principal questiun to be con
sidered i; the ild one of rates. At the
last mieruaUoual convention, which
was henl.in ..Milwaukee two years ago,
a committee was appointed to take
tuts subject under consideration and
make a thorough investigation, They
have been engaged upon tins task
since and have prepared an exhaustive
report. The report says in substance
that the rates/tuc inadequate ana that
if it is desired to perpetuate the
order an increase is imperative. The
committee will present several plans
tor increasing the rates, one of which
doubtless will be adopted.
The question of admitting liquor
dealers and saloon keepers will alsc
be brought up again. \ The matter was
argued at length two years ago, but
■~tmal decision was postponed until
this year. It is thought by some that
this will be admitted, but at an in
creased schedule and in a separate
class, The .lowa state convention
voted lo exclude saloon keepers, but
it is uncertain how the delegates will
vote, as Uiere are varying views
among the states.
Nearing Completion.
The Second Advent church in New
Town is rapidly nearing conmpletion.
It is a very handsome building and
when finished will be one of the most
imposing houses of worship in the
city, The energetic members of the
congregation deserve to he compli
mented on the splendid work they
have accomplished in this case,
00 AN IMPROMPTU DEBATE.
Will be Program at the New Town
Club Monday Night.
The members of the New Town de
bating society will engage in an im
promptu debate at the club room of
the association on next Monday night.
The members will not know the sub
ject to be discussed until they arrive
at the meeting, when it will be sug
gested and from those present the
president will appoint various advo
cates for and against the subject
selected.
This is a splendid idea, and affords
the members e£ the society a good
opportunity to acquire the accomplish
ment of making impromptu speeches.
All members of the society are urged
to be present.
Excursion Postponed.
The excursion to have been given
last night for the purpose of raising
funds to create a free scholarship in
the State Normal school, was post
poned because of the inclement weath
er. It will be given tonight if the
weather conditions are favorable.
Tickets will be good on any of the
boats today. The Hessie will leave
tonight at. 8 o'clock. A good band
of music will accompany the crowd
and play for dancing.
President Aiken Better.
The many friends of President
Frank D. Aiken, of the Brunswick
Bank and Trust company, who has
been ill at St. Simon for a week or
ten days, will be pleased to hear that
he is improving and that the chances
are he will be in the city in the course
of a few days.

BOUND OVER ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
it. *.
WM. GRIFFIN, COLORED, BOUND
OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT
ON GRAVE CHARGE,
William Griffin, a well known Bruns
wick hack driver, and a negro who,
in the past, has enjoyed a splendid
reputation, was this morning bound
over to the superior court in Justice
Lambright's court, in the sum o£
on the very serious charge of rape, 5
The prosecutrix in the cases was
Mary Williams, a dusky hued maiden
who swore that on Monday evening
last the defendant, Griffin, beguiled
her into a certain dark woods near the
colored cemetery and then and there
made a criminal assault upon her.
She produced a number of witnesses
to corroborate her statement, while
Griffin was unable to rebut any of the
testimony.
At the conclusion of the taking of
the testimony Justice Lambright an
nounced that he would be compelled
to nave the defendant bound over to
the superior court as the evidence was
overwhelmingly against him.
The .bond was fixed in the sum of
■•$00, and the prisoner failing to give
same, was remanded to jail to await
trial by the superior court,
As stated above, Griffin has always
aad a good reputation, and many of
his friends believe that he is innocent
of the charge against him.

u.X o( iAiuk
ter, then delivered an earnest and
eloquent sermon on the historical
significance and sac-rod meaning of
the pallium.
When Manager Falconio arose to
confer tihe sacred pallium the eager
interest of ail was manifested by flic
profound silence that prevailed. Afiei
paying an eloquent tribute to the
lamented Archbishop Corrigan, whom
he pronounced one of the stanchest
supports of the church in the New
World, he addressed himself wit;
evident affection- and high personal
regard to Archbishop Farley, upon
whose broad shoulders he placed th<
sacred garnet as evidence of the high
rank conferred upon him by the

MAN! RAILROAD
RUMORS NOW ON
Seaboard Seems to Have
Been Purchased
Yesterday
TWO CONFLICTING STORIES
One is That The Rock Island Has It.
the Other Concerns the
Southern And The
Coast Line.
New York, Aug. 12.-—>An authentic
report is in circulation here today of
the contemplated sale-of the Seaboard
Air Line railroad. Two reports arc
going the rounds in financial circles.
One is to the effect that the Rock Is
land, St. Louis & San Francisco, to
gether with the amalgamated interests
of that company, are to become the
purchasers, while the other is that
the Atlantic Coast Line aud the South
ern jointly may buy the Seaboard.
Secretary Porteous, speaking for
President John Skelton Williams, of
the Seaboard, was seen this evening
but absolutely refused to discuss the
matter one way or the other.
However, it is learned from un
official sources that capitalists, repre
senting the Rook Island had either
bought or were likely to buy the Sea
board, or at least a controlling in
terest in the lino.
On the strength of these reports
the stock of the Seaboard has
and two and three-fourths.
The rumor is given color in Wall
street and other centers of finance in
this city.
The News Confirmed,-
New York, Aug. 12. —BfMenburg.

NO CHANGE IN
PORPOSED STRIKE
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
LUMBER UNIONS STRIKE
SITUATION. (
So far there has been no new devel
opments in the threatened strike of
the labor unions of the city. However
the general temper of both sides seems
to be in better condition and it now
seems very likely that some amicable
arrangement will be arrived at be
tween the lumber men, the stevedores
and the unions.
It is understood that the represen
tatives of tihe unions will hold a meet
ing at an early date and at that time,
the matter will be fully gone Into and
the position assumed by thy/ dealers
will be thoroughly discussed
From all indications The News is
pleased to state that it now seems
very likely that the differences will
be arranged to the satisfaction of all
strike or parties at interest, without
the necessity of a strike, or any other
occurrence that would be disastrous
to tihe shipping interests of the
port.
A prominent lumberman, discussing
the question yesterday, said he felt
sure that the unions would see the
fairness of their position and it was
his opinion that in the course of a
very few days the condition would be
changed materially and that al! par
ties would be satisfied.
A representative of the unions ex
pressed a similar sentiment
Vessels are Staying In.
The report of a severe hurricane on
the coast has been the means of keep
ing a number of vessels ready for sea
in port. In each case the captains
feel that it is safer to remain in the
harbor and not take any risks.

Go Up Against Sa
vannah Yesterday
Wll L PLAY TWO GAMES
The Crack Base Ball Teams of the
Coast Will Meet on the Forest
City Diamond for Two
Games.
The Brunswick Pilots, the crack
base ball team of the coast, the team
which has won eight consecutive
games, and has at all times conducted
itself splendidly, left at a very early
hour yesterday morning for Savannah,
where they went for a series of two
games with the Y. M. C. A. team of
that city. ,
Manager Coleman selected the
strongest nine in his pirovincc to go
up against the crack team of the
Forest City twirlers and the general
impression is that Brunswick will
give a good account of herself wlhen
she meets the enemy on what appears
to the student of algebra, to be the
right angle triangle.
The News, appreciating the fact
that all Brunswick is interested in
the series of games, delegated its oil.v
editor, Mr. Louis J. Leavy, to report
the game.
However, the first telegram an
nounced the fact that it was raining in
torrents Savannalh and that the
gamie for the day had been called off.
The two teams will play this after
noon and tomorrow, however, and it
is said in Savannah that the games
are attiacting more attention than
any ottnE-r "games of the seanson.
The Brunswick boys are comfort
ably quartered at the Pulaski house
and bets against them are being taken
at even money.
Brunswick litas ji number of strong
supporters in Savannah and a great
deal of interest is being manifested
in the contest.
Railroad Officials Change.
According to an official circular is

master mechanic of the company, vice
W. M. Cahill, resigned.
Excursionists Return.
Both of the excursions which have
been in the city for the past two or
three days have returned. Ail of the
visitors seemed to have had a good
time. They wero all orderly and good
natured and were very much pleased
with the city.
CAPTAIN COOK HAS
BRAND NEW IDEA
HE IS BUILDING A SCHOONER
AND PROPOSES TO DO AWAY
WITH THE TOPMAST.
The schooner Henry B. Fiske, Capt,
Josiah \Y, Clarke, of SommCrvHlo,
Mass., is iti the city and he is being
very warmly received by a larrge cir
cle of friends.
Just ai this time Capt. Cook is a
subject of more than ordinary note
with the shipping industry generally,
for the simple reason that be now
lias building in Mystic, Conn., a four
masted schooner, which is destined
to smash all old records and establish
a precedent for vessels of her class.
In the first place, the new craft,
which is to In* a four masted schoner,
will be classified as a ‘‘bald headed"
schooner, which means that Capt.
Cook, in his good work has sseen lit
to reduce the amount of sail, which
in the past has been carried by
schooners and now proposm to equip
a four masted schooner without the
use of a topmast.
Capt. Cook says that, the character
of vessels that he has in mind is now
in constant use (in the Pacific coast.
a.nrl lias proved to be a great, im
provement over the old style vessels
now in use in this of the
country
Capt. Cook lias with him a splendid
diagram of his new vessel, and from
ail indications, his idea of doing away
witii superfluous sail, is going to strike
a popular chord with ship owners and
mariners generally.
Capt, Cook will be in the city for a
week or ten days and will be glad to
show his prospectus to any one de
siring lu it.
HON. EDWIN BROBSTON
MADE GRAND SPEECH
IN MACON YESTERDAY
THE GREAT MILL.
Will Corbett or Jeffries Land in the
Great Match Tomorrow Night.
San Francisco, Cal , Aug. 12. —Will
science triumph over brute force or
vice versa at Mechanics’ Pavilion Fri
day night? Will Corbett, the idol of
admirers of scientific boxing methods,
succumb to Jeffries, tile ideal rtlgli
and ready lighter? These are ques
tins asked and answered in the affirm
nth- and negative by sporting men.
seme good judges of matters pugilistic
are of the opinion that Corbett's
science will earn for him the title of
heavyweight champion and the right
to collect the winner’s share of the
lu." purse, lint tin* most of the shrewd
observers say they are convinced that
the former liiiiierrmakcr will again
defeat the man who won the pugilistic
crown from John D. Sullivan.
Nobody familiar witii Corbett's
movenwts since he first came Into
prominence by fighting a sixty-one
round draw with Peter Jackson In
181;I is inclined to deny th.it his
physical cc-aditi-.iu lias undergone a
change not conducive to success in
feats of skill and endurance. Nor will
any well informed followers of ring
side events dispute the assertion that
his entire system has suffered con
hlerably since lie fought John L.
Sullivan, and that lie is by no meant
as sturdy or reliable as when a- went
iiouml Hie •‘only Sullivan" a.4*a copper
would around a barrel in the arena
of the Olympic dub of Now Orleans
in September, 18!)2.
instances where unmistakable evi
dence in support of the above auger
tion may be found in Corbett's fights
with Sharkey in this city and with
Fitzsimmons- in Carson City. Can a
gladiator who once loses ground in an
athletic way recovers sufficiently again
to win against a sturdy o) poneut?
History records few Instances of stici
happenings. But, in spite of all. Cor
iiett says he never fell better in 'his
life, and thinks lie will surely be tin
victor in Friday night's bailie. HI
opinion apparently is share,! by sin
a.ViUte followers of the game ai
Tommy Ryan and several others. So
much for Corbett.
Now for Jeffries, the champion. Ib
is a fighter in every sense that the
term implies, lie is of the rough and
ready sort, anil never so happy as
when slugging. In fact, lie says he
would rallntr light than eat. Jeffries'
knowledge of scientific principles in
said to he greater than when he met
[Corbett in tlie ring before. But force
is still his main reliance. Bull-like,
rushes and crouching- is his forte, lb
rushes -madly at his man. trios to cor
tier him and fiilen sends his pile
driving blows at various parts of his
opponents anatomy. Corrbett is the
one man in the game today tiesl able
to keep away from these onslaughts.
The only question is dees the dial
linger possess steam enough to plant
a knock-out blow. Jeffries willing!'
allows an opponent to land on him
three or four times in order to return
one blow. 11c figures he can afford
to do so owing to the marvelous
power he puts In ids blows. He will
employ tihe tactics indicated in Friday
night’s battle, and he thinks they will
result in Corbett’s defeat.
FEW BETS BEING MADE.
Sports are Not Betting on the Prize
Fight.
The usual large number of bets are
hot being made on the fight between
Jeffries and Corbett, which occurs in
San Francisco tomorrow night.
Some few here have placed smai
amounts and the odds have been
two to one on Jeffries.
On account of the fact that Snn
Francisco time is so much ahead of
ours, there will probably be no
returns by rounds received here.

and it Was Received With
Enthusiasm.
Macon. Ang. 12. The animal con
vention of the League of Georgia Mun
icipalities. which begun here today, is
one of the best attended gatherings
of the kind ever held in ihis section
of the country.
City officials of the leading muni
cipalities of the state were assembled
at til o’eloek this morning when the
gatlliering was formally opened with
n.n address of welcome by M inter Wim
berly. city attorney of Macon, to
which response was made hy Mayor
James R. Atwater, of Thomston. The
annual address of the president, May
or Bridges Smith, of Macon, and the
report -' p the secret..ry, Majoi David
.1. Bailey, of Griffin, followed.
One of the subjects discussed dur
ing the day was the Importance of
municipal courts in preventing crime,
the abuses of pauper transportation,
municipal ownership, light aud water
rates, taxation and sewers and sani
tation.
The feal lire of the meeting was the
very able address of Hon.. Edwin
Brohslon of Brunswick, on the sub
ject, "Wliy Capital should be Eu
couraged to come to Georgia." Mr.
Brobston is ar all times an eloquent
speaker, but today he was in his hap
piest mood and made a very strong
speech, which has been favorably
commented on by all of the delegates
to file Convention.
The full text of Mr, Brobstnn’s
speech is as follows:
I assume there are not, many to de
ny that Georgia needs more capital.
That, it is especially needed to develop
hur mines, to build her factories, to
develop her power, to improve the
beauty of her landscape, and to util
ize the iei t llity of her soil. That vast
additional capital can be used profit
ably along these lines, I take it there
are none here to dispute.
That we have sufficient natural re
sources in our soil to support many
times our population, is quite evident-,
even to those who have given I he mat
ter hut slight consideration. That
Georgia's posit ion as a base for collect
ing raw materia! from our own or
other nations is only equated by her
ad vantage as a distributing point from
which to supply the world witii a fin
ished product, are mailers upon which
we might dwell far beyond the. limits
of an address of I his eharaoter.
These arc mailers perhaps familiar
to most Georgians, yet hut little
known to I he outside, for while we
know that Georgia’s ports are hun
