CANNOT HANDLE CURS OF 8,5 S, ■f Southern and A. C. L, Not to Shift Them Hereafter CAUSED BY THE STRIKE Two Lines Claim That They Can Only Place Cars at Wharves of Dealers Who Can Prompt ly Uuload Them. Effective yesterday the Atlantic Coast Line, and the Southern railway company refused to sjlfift incoming freight cars over the Brunswick & Birmingham railroad and the proper notice of this decision was duly served on the authorities of the B. & B. In the past the question of switch ing! at Bnmhwick as between the com. petitive lines ha® been a mooted one. and it finally called for a decision from the railroad commission to com pel diverging lines at Brtinswlck to do the switching service for the 3. & B. The yard facilities at Brunswick aro operated conjointly on the part of the Coat Line and the Southern and it seems that the strike among the labor unionls of the city has been a potent factor in causing the estran gement of switching relations between the joint yards and the B. & B. To make a long story slhort the Coast Line and the Southern have said to t ,>o . & B. fihat they will not in fu- , ..j switch any cars brought in over the latter line, except in cases where the oars in question are consigned to the Southern Pine Company, or such other concerns wlhlo are in a position to speedily handle them. Commercial Agent Wright, of the Atlantic Coast Line, was seen by a News representative yesterday and he talked very interestingly on the sub ject. He said thait the conjested con dition of the Brunsv'fk yards makes it necessary for the <?oast Line and the Southern, who are operating joint ly, to protect tlheir own interests in the matter of quickly tramsfering the loaded cars! received at) Brunswick and for this reason, which he thinks j.x occasioned by the strike, which causes a great many loaded cars to remain in the yards thus stagnating the business of the joint yards. All cars received over tlhe B. & B. aud consigned to merchants not effected by the strike, or in other words, are in position to handle same, will be switched by bth the old companies as has been the case in the past. LADIES ORGANIZE Their Auxiliary to the Men.s Club Has Been Formed The meeting held Wednesday after noon for the purpose of organizing a _ Woman's Auxiliary to the Men’s Club was alright as to enthusiasm and quality, but all wrong as to numbers. About a dozen ladies responded to this call, which concerned a subject that should vitally interest every woman in Brunswick. Whether this was due to the torrid atmosphere or to general indifference and lack of interest in the great questions involved in this move ment, is not known. However, the few earnest and unsel fish ladies who responded to the call by attending the meeting, did good work. The auxiliary was organized and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. E. F. Coney: Vice- President, Miss Constance Butts: Sec retary aud Treasurer, Miss Lula Coles berrv. A plan of work was outlined, and the ladies expect to do much good as well as to enjoy the use of the gymna sium, which will lie open to them twice a week in the afternoons. Their hours will not conflict with those of the Men’s Club in any way. Therefore, those who opposed the formation of a ladies’ auxiliary may now rest easy that their privileges and freedom will not be limited or restricted by the presence of ladies. The membership at present is com posed of representative ladies of this city, but a larger and broader mem bership is desired, and at the next meeting it is hoped that more of the ladies will attend, Only the Ixparlan*** can guarantee and give you a first clase job In Cleaning, Pressing end Pysisg clothie* Cuter has the NINE GOOSE EGGS FOR SOLDIER BOYS V Fort Shut Out Yesterday ,By the Fast Pilots WAS AN INTERESTING GAME Walker Had the Visitors at His Mercy and Kept up His Well Deserved Record.—Play Again Today. The game of base ball yesterday af ternoon between the Brunswick Pilots and the Fort Screven team was one of ttie prettiest and most interesting seen on the diamond this year. The two teams put up a snappy game all tie way through. The Pilots won by a score of i to 0. The Pilots commenced their run making in the first inning. Bowen was the first man up, and lie secured a pretty single, stole second and went to third on a throw out at. first. scoring on an error by the catcher. Tills ended the run-making of the game uni il the eighth inning, when the locals, witli a double and l wo singles, and an error by tlie soldiers, netted three more scores. In this inning Crovatt was Mie first, man up, who was thrown out. at first. Barrett struck out: Walker followed and landed for a two bagger; Howe i went to first on an error, advancing Walker to third. Grimes singled, scoring Walker. Here the ball was blocked, and Grimes and Bowen also scores, but they were sent back to third and second by the umpire. A Crovatt was up, and hit a pretty one over short-st op, scoring Bowen and Grimes. Hopkins retired ttie side, leaving Crovatt on second. It looked like the visitors would score in the sixtli inning, and here it was that Walker did some beautiful work. Ttie first mail up went to first on an error. Crosley singled, advan cing him trtjsecoutt. 'V Ih no one out, Walker commenced his fanning busi ness, and ouiy ten balls were pitched to the next three men, two of them striking out and the,,third one hitting down to iirsl. In the third inning the visitors also had a good start, but failed to get a man across the home plate. However, the soldier boys played a good game of ball, and their defeat was due to the excellent twirling of Walker and the gdotl support that he received. Tire second game of the series will be played this afternoon.

Cahill Monday evening and presented him with a beautiful token of their esteem and appreciation of his kindness to them while actifig as foreman. The graceful remembrance was in the form of a pair of handsome diamond cuff buttons and a gold mounted foun tain pen. Tlris evidence of their friend ship and kind feeling was greatly ap preciated by Mr. Cahill. Mrs. Mollie Allen, of South Fork, Ky„ says she has prevented attacks of cholera morbus by taking Cham berlain's stomach and liver tablets she felt an attack coming on. Such attacks are usually caused by Indigestion and these tablets are just what Is to clean the stomach and ward off the approaching attack.

Alderman Kaiser Brought the Matter up and Other Members Agreed that Mr. Twitty Had Been Negligent. The city council seems to be after City Attorney Twitty. At a meeting of ttie body last night, it, developed that Hie city attorney had not atoml ed a 'meeting in some time, and Al derman Kaiser, who was one of the members who brought, the attention of council to the matter, asked if there wasn't an compelling the city attorney to attend all meet ings. Ttie mayor examined ttie city code and replied to the effect that the city attorney was required to Ire pres ent only when notified that his pits ence would be needed. The mayor agreed witli Alderman Kaiser that the city attorney had been derelict in his duties. Alderman du Bignon tiere took the floor and agreed witli the sentiment expressed by Alderman Kaiser. He thought Mr. Twitty dad not been as faithful to his duties as lie should hafij been, although he had faithfully drawn his salary. The position taken by Alderman Kaiser seemed to have lieen shared by other members or council, but no specific action was taken in the mat ter. Meeting of War Workers.

RELIANCE WAS WELL IN LEAD Boats Fail to tio Course in the Time Al lowed ANOIIIER RACE SATURDAY American Boat Again Showed Her Stern to the Challenger and Would Have Won by Several Minutek. j New Y<w%, Aeg. 27.—With the dawu tug tif tho very firßt streaks of early duyllght this morning those interest ed wind best posted on atmospheric conditions off Sandy Hook, made the prognostication that tho race for the day would not materialize for the lack of wind. The propHnesy was a sound oite. When day dawned a cloudy liuaze over hung lithe long stretches leading oft Sandy Hook. The wind was light to fresh with occasional shifts to the east ami southeast, ini, a heavy cloud looked down very threateningly on the whole scene. However, below the hazy bearings everything was different. The en thusiasm lost sight of the darkness of the heavens. Two great boats rep resenting two great people were to battle for a trophy worthy of the wel come of a king. All else was lost In the mad whirl of activity that marked tho scene. As has been trie case in previous (lavs Ml lar*M- rj*v In rive—deiega oetMof* vtp* ” on ban A % . evej-y uvaAlalfle sitetam tup, river steamer, and, in fact, every class and condition of boats was pressed Into service to view 1 this great tesst of strength between the acknowledge* high speed yachts of ttb'e world. While the scene tgeirly gjllttered w|th animation and enthusiasm, it was a good natured one and the col ors of the contesting boats were, at turns, applauded as they appeared in sight of tSi'e multitudes. The colors of the two countries, represented by the two boats, seemed to vie with each other in popularity. Both of them htad many followers, and as the one or the ot.li*r was brought ■into prominence in the maneuvers for Stile boginning they received genuine ovation. A few seconds after the signal to start), the two yachts, under full sail, made a dash for the starting point. The moment was a beautiful one. Both of the stately denizens of Nep tune, attired in the choicest raiment of fast, moving nautical garments came to the post, magnificently. The Sham, rock was the first to poke her nose into trtic course, crossing the line at 11.00.15. The Reliance followed live, seconds later, her official entry being marked at 11.00.20. The Reliance did won derful work shortly after the start, and in the first half hour passed her rival and lauded safely a full half mile ahead. The Shamrock seemed to see that she was getting the worst of It and tier baby Jib topsail was low ered. She then headed up better and made slight gains, but the wind began to fail and ini the meantime the Re liance had gone bounding to windward and was good a minute iu the lead For the next twenty minutes the Re lianxie increased her lead and at 12. 2,i it was estimated that site was leading the Shamrock by fully two minutes and a half. Twenty five minutes later and the wind had completely shifted and to tic advantage of the Irish boat and the time ot (lie Reii ance was cut down considerably. Barr was at >i.e helm, Uowiver, and lie succeeded in getting every inch out of the Reliance that was iu her, when three fourths of distance to the stake boat had been covered the Reliance was well ahead and a half mile to windward. At 1,25 the wind was blowing right strong and a squall was Imminent. The Reliance luffed and finally went about gracefully, she was then to (he windward nad was leading Shamrock by eight minutes, A report from the Highlands at 1,3$ (Oontinueti ou page 1)
