WILD FLAMES CHECKED
BY HEROIC EFFORTS

DAMAGES STORES
H. V 7. Adderley, McClure's
and Levy Bros., Suffer
By Flames
TOT AL LOSS ABOUT $20,000
Took Hard Work by Firemen and
Citizens Generally to Keep the
Flames from Destroying
Entire Bloc*.
Ey hard and heroic work on the
part of a number of citizens and the
fire department, Brunswick would yes
terday "nave had a serious fire, and
one of business blocks
in the city would have been destroyed,
but as a result, only the store of H.
V, Adderley and the McClue ten cent
stores were damaged.
The alarm was sounded from box
13 a few minutes before 10 o’clock.
The department made a rather quick
run. When the different fire wagons
stopped in front of Levy’s people
standing on the corners did not know
where tlhie blaze was. One by one they
observed smoke emerging from the
top of the building occupied by Mr.
Addler. Thie department then looked
over the building for the blaze,, front
and back, but it could not be located.
The firemen soon made their way
into the second story of the building,
then they, could see nothing
but smoke.
f’jjiy.haJl, an hour after the ar
it was burning in one of the rooms
in the front part of the building, and
the flames rapidly spread over the
entire second story of the building.
For awhile it looked as though the
.flames had gone beyond control and
the entire block seemed doomed to
he destroyed.
A nttznfter of citizens assisted the
firermsi in their hard fight, and finally,
after uvtiy three hours work, the
flarm*.- were checked and were under
conti* * mil it was by desperate ef
fort® on the part of all (he firemen
auw citizens who were rendering as
sistance.
Good Water Pressure.
From the time the alarm was
sounded until the signal that the fire
was under control the water pressure
was ample, and many favorable com
ments were heard by citizens for the
Mutual Light and Water Company.
It was fortunate that plenty of water
was on hand, as it was every hit
needed. At one time during the fire,
live streams were playing on the
building, and so strong was the
streams oi water that one of the fire
men was knocked off his feet.
H the blaze could have been located
immediately upon the arrival of the
department, the blaze counl have been
extnguished with but little difficulty
and no damage.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The flames spread rapidly and in a
Jew minutes they were bursting
through the building, while the root
was a mass of tire. Then it was that
Citizens predicted that the entire
block! would be destroyed and ooci*
pants began Che removal o£ their et
lects, However, with several streams
of water playing on the blaze, it was
soon noticed that the firemen were
getting the conilagation in control ana
by 12:3U o’clock the lire was entirely
out.
It was feared that the walls of the
balding would give way as the fire hau
been burning for two hours or more,
but the Bremen and citizens who were
assistin 1 did not fear this, and went
right in and fought like demons until
the biaze was out. The stores of Aad
lerley ami AicCiure s were completely
gutted and lee stock of both places
was badly damaged by water.
A portion of the store of B. H.
Levy lives. & Cos., was also slighly
damaged by water.
The Less,
It is ostiiuated that the total loss
wnTbo between 518000,00 and *3o,*
■ 000.00, of which H. V AdUerley is the
• heaviest lose. Mr Adderley stated
f~ that his stock was valued at $20,000.00.
pearly his out ire stock wag damaged
more or less by water. He only car
ried $5,000.00 insurance and will prob
ably receive that amount. McClure’s
store was also badly damaged by fire
and the stock will be nearly a total
loss. It is not known whether or not
the stock was insured. The building
was the property of the estate of Capl.
Henry Clay, of New Bedford, Mass.,
and was represented by Brobston,
Fendig & Cos. of this city. The dam
age to the building is almost entirely
covered by insurance.
WILSON WAS VERY KIND
TO OUR FIRE FIGHTERS
J. W. Wilson, the well known res
taurant man, yesterday treated our fire
men to dinner, after they had fought
fire for several hours. Mr. Wilson in
vited Chief Green and the entire de
partment to come in and dine with
him, and the dinner was much appre
ciated by tlhtem. Mr. Wilson says
whenever the firemen have a blaze to
fight he will keep coffee prepared and
will always serve it free. This is quite
kind of Mr. Wilson and the firemen
fully appreciate iL
NEW HOOK AND LADDER
USED FOR FIRST TIME
The new hook and ladder recently
purchased by the city for the fire de
partment was used in the fire yester
day for the first time, and it rendered
valuable service to the firemen. While
the ladders could n‘ot be used very
much on the buildings, it was demon
strated that the new fighter is just
the kind of fire apparatus needed by
the department.

where they go for three games with
uie crack team of that little city, the
first to be played tomorrow afternoon.
The Pilots were out for practice
yesterday atternocm aud snowed up in
their usual good form, they realize
that they are going up against a strong
aggregation in the Mcßae team and
the boys are going determined to cap
otre at least two out of the three
games.
The Mcßae team is not composed
entirely of local players, but has a
number of paid men, anti two of the
pitchers are the best in this section
of tin® country.
The Mcßae people have advertised
the games throughout the surround
ing country near, the city and the
games will be well attended. When
ever a baseball game is on up that
way it is the same as a circus and
country people for miles around come
in to witness it. Several excursions
nave been arranged from Eastman,
Surrency, Helena, and other places
and an unusually large crowd is ex
pected.
The Pilots will carry the strongest
team possible. Walker and Grimes
will do the twirling, one of them
probably pitching t.wo of the three
games,

STEAMER MALOY
ON FIRST TRIP
Has a Cargo of Freight
jj g for Points on the
Gcmulgee
TO COME TWiCL MONIHLY
Merchants of Macon are Enthusiastic
Over the Outlook of a River
Line on the Ocmulgee
Again.
The following is taken from the Sun
day Macon Telegraph-:
The steamboat Maloy cleared for
Brunswick yesterday with a cargo for
down-river points. She reached Haw
kinsville last night. She will have a.
good river to travel, as the general
rains have swelled it much above the
I usual summer stage
The Maloy will leave Brunswick for
Macon, Tuesday, August 25th, with a
large cargo of freight ordered tor ship
ment via tih-e river line by Macon
firms
The business men of Macon, alive to
the importance oi establishing rail ana
water lines rates for Macon, have prac
tically subsidized the Maloy lor a pe
riod of six months.
In 18I>7 a committee of the chant! > t
of commerce undertook, in the iace .u
daunt, and in some case ; absolute • cot
ding of the idea oi! the river uc.ag u.iv
igahle, to raise money to build a si. in.
boat. In spite of every obstacle,, money
war, raised and the steamer City oi Ma
con was launched and successfully
demonstrated that the Ocmulgee wa
practically navigable lor light drat;
river boats.
In 1898, after the City of Macon had
verified every hope, a meeting v* as
held at the Chamber of Commerce, and
half the amount required to build a
second boat was subscribed. By at,
.unforeseen contingency, a short U
after the City ot Macon capsized be
tween Brumswica and t’he moutu ot tiu
Altanvaba river. The unlooked for ac
cident cast a damper for a time on t
river navigation movement. The steam
er, howeer, was righted, lowed to
Brunswick and put in condition for
operation. A litigation which followed,
growing out of claims for repairing the
boat, resulted ini its being sold and Ma
con lost all she had gained.
Notwithstanding this backset,a com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
headed by Mr. George A Smith, went
to Washington, and through the per
sistent efforts of Cngressmau Bartlett
and Senator Bacon, secured an appro
priation of $150,01)0 for the improve
ment of the Ocmulgee river. Since
that time the government engineers,
with a sorce ot men. have been
steadily at work improving the chan
nel.
The project of establishing a river
transportation line has beeii held to
by capt. I. B. English, A. E, Chapped
and others as the key to the commer
cial situation in Macoll. Wifa unlad
ing faith, in tiie face of all doubt, tiiey
nave consistently and quietly worked
r. O place Macon on a parity with An
gust a. by the establishment of a line
of boats between Macon and tidewater.
They have maintained that it would
he a benefit io the railroads. They
argue that lower freight rates for Ma
con will increase the volume of busi
ness, make Macon a more important
distributing point; and what the rail
roads concede in reduced rates will be
more than off-set by the increase m
traffic which will result from a larger
distribution into Macon s trade terri

The Mef'.^ers.
The colored branch of the American
Federation of Labor called a mooting
at their hall over Newman’s last night
and tallied of the labor .situation in the
city. It was a public meeting, and t'he
laborers’ throughout the city were in
vited to attend.
A latge number oi non-union men
were present and they were invited
to become members, and about fifty
joined.
The mooting was not held for the
purpose of calling a strike, but to talk
to the non-union men and get as many
into It as possible.
Yesterday all of the inside men and
a large number of the outside laborers
went to work as usual and only prob

It now appears that the inside work

tiie outside men want 15 cents instead
of 12 1-2. Four of t.h.e stevedores
have signed the increased pay.

IS GEEK CUSTOM
FOR MANY YEARS
Alderman du Bignont Has
Card Concerning Lease
of Lots
IAX PAYERS CAN LEASE
He Says City Has Already Received
75 Per Cent, of the Actual Value
of the Property Which He
Has Re-Leased.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. IT, 1903.
To the Editor: The articles in The
News of Saturday and Sunday relative
to the renewal of the lease of the foot
of Goorge steet are calculated to leave
i a very wrong impression upon the
mind of the public, and in order that
the people of Brunswick may thor
oughly understand the situation, I
would be glad if you would give this
communication space in your columns.
In the first place, it has been the
custotm for over thirty-live years for
the city to lease the western foot of
streets to tax payers owning the ad
jacent water lots, charging for those
leases an annual rental which would
amount to about 2 per cant, of the
value ot the adjoining property. The
improvements placed on the leased
property is subject to title same rate
of taxation as all other similar prop
erty in the city, and the revenue real
ized from this source iias placed many
thousands of dollars in the city treas
ury. The city lias already received
for leases alone over 75 per cent ot the
actual value of this property, which
would otherwise be nonproductive,
besides having built up at no expanse
to the treasury a regular wltiarf line,
and shutting out from view unsightly
mwil flats at the termination of each
block. There are about twenty foot
of streets that are now under lease,
and in 1890 quite a number expired,
but in every instance they wore
promptly renewed by the city, and in
one instance to holder who was then
an alderman of the city of Bruns
wick, But there was not a word said
in opposition to the renewal.
Only a few months ago the holder
of the lease to tile foot of one of these
streets petitioned council lo cancel his
lease that had been renewed in I too
for twenty years, having still about
thirteen years to run, and grant hint a
new lease for thirty years. His re
quest was acted on favorably by coun
cil. No opposition from any source to
this lease. The wants of the city, so
far as free dock laciliUes are concern
ed seem to be adequate for the pres
ent demand. The foot of AlheiniarJe
tf it, which, has never been leased,
can at any time be, put in condition
tor the additional wants of the public,
but so far. although there is a resolu
tion of force since December, )593, an
■ horlziug the committee on public
works lo expend one thousand dollars
:or the erection of a landing place
thereat, the dock of landing place
has never been erected; evidently
the committee lias not deemed It nec
essary
Suppose Cine leases to the foot of all
the streets should expire now. Would
it he best to renew them, thereby
placing several thousand dollars in
the treasury of the city, or refuse to
renew the leases, pay for the improve
merits, which amounts to thousands of
dollars, and in addition to this, keep
up the improvements which would
amount each year to many thousand
dollars more, or let the whole thing
go into Ihe drink, i think the answer
is simple enough; Lease Uie foot of
your streets, reserving enough to meet
this requirements of the public, and
put money into, instead of taking It
unnecessarily out of, the treasury of
the city. Unfortunately the latter
course has been so long and itcrsis
tantly indulged in, that row that a
fehange has taken place, they how!
against those who are trying to pro
serve the former course. All of the
streets', that have been leased have
been leased to the owners of adjoin
ing property, and not to speculators,
who seem anxious to have a chance
to hid on this kind of property The
lute and cry of a few people, who
never raised the slightest objection to
arty renewal of leases in all the thirty
i even years that leases have been
granted, is not enough to make the
city council do what has never been
done before in the history of Bruns
wick. "put up to the highest bidder
a piece of property of Itself too small

the owner of the adjacent wafer lots,
who h:;. >;pe:'l thmiiHtirts of dollars

tion authorizing tin* renewal of this
lease takes it out of the hands of
the city council as to the rental ami
places it in the hands of arbitrators,
who will he guided entirely i;y the
balance of t-'ie leases on the foot of
the remainin': streets that are now
of force, in other words, the price
will hi 1 made to correspond with the
price aid hi,lien of the lin lance of
the foot of streets under lease. Is an
alderman barred from leasing town
commons from the city provided lie
pays the ruling price? Is he debarred
from purchasing property at marshal’s
sales? An alderman could, in 18911.
have his lease renewed: an alderman
can now make a contract with the city
to furnish supplies of all kinds; an
alderman can. it seems, contract to
do at! kinds of repair work and fur
nish material of every description,
which is being done every day, and yet
you do not bear one word from: any
sourew.
It. seems that it is not what h
