THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 220. MACHEN SUES FOR ABIQ SUM says lira OWES HIM SIM Attachment Papers Serv ed in this City Yester day Morning CASE PROBABLY GROWS OUI OE BIG B. & B. DEAL i Machen Says the Massachusetts Man | is Indebted to Him in the Above i| Amount—Papers Served at Jj B. & B Office. 1 A suit was filed in the superior court yesterday morning by Col. E. C. Machen, through his attorney, against Frank A. Umsted, of Worces ter, Mass., for $12,500. j The suit is In the form of an at tachment, and Col. Machen is after (the stock (if he owns any) of Mr. Umsted in the Brunswick & Birming ham railroad and the necessary papers Were served at the general offices of the company in this city yesterday morning. Just what brings on this big suit is not known, as Col. Machen is not in the city at present and could not be interviewed on the subject. An effort to see his attorney yesterday also failed. It will he remembered that Frank |A. Umsted is the man who came to Brunswick several months ago as president and general man. agen of the Mohawk Valley Steel and Wire company and an nounced that his company was desir ous of building a mammoth steel plant in this city. He asked for a bonus of over $300,- ggpfi, which wad quickly raised by the r people of Brunswck, Umsted then, Bps gqid, purchased a large slice ofthe pßvunßwj.ck & Birmingham railroad I and was elected president of the board of directors. The Mohawk company and the B. B. were closely in touch with each other and it was announced that the steel com a ray had the controlling interest in the road. Other schemes were advanced In Now, York, ip which ex-Senator Me j!aurin of South Carolina and others were caught, and a number of suits involving thousands of dollors are now pending in the courts of New York against Umsted. After it waa seen that the steel plant dream had gone up in smoke Umsted was put out of the B. & B. and about the same time Machen gqtd his interests apd resigned the presidency. It has been thought all along, how ever, that Machen and Umsted wen working in conjunction with each other, and just why this suit has beep brought is pot known. Machen claim ip his petition that Umsted Is due him the amount stated, but it in no claimed whether it is borrowed mono; or money due him for certain inter ests in the B. & B. tt will also be rcmCinberetJ that when Machen sold liis Interest It was announced that the Mohawk people were the purclui' i?t,s and this mopey may not ha • been paid, and the suit may be a re suit of that deal, At, any rate, the ease lias been filed in the superior court of this conn and the Anal result will bo watched with interest.

The seartun at the Grand was opened last might with Max Plohn’s product ion of “Tlie Telephone Girl.” The opening was auspicious in on 1 instance—a large crowd was present, in fact, there were not many vacant seats to the pit of this well known playhouse; the galiaries played to a good business and on either side large crowds were in attendance. So much for the theater-goers. Now for the production. It was simply bum. There was only one actor, or, by being liberal, say two, in the play. Miss Nellie V. Nichols, as the Telephone Girl, and Hauls Nix, inspector of Telephones. These two are polished actors but in this case they found themselves in very very or dinary company. The specialties were out of date at least by a century, and such oid time favorites as "Hiawatha’' and "Worn You be My Sweetheart?” were baud ( ed to the audience as recent product ions. A cheap class vaudeville at the Ponce de Heon m Atlanta, at 15 cents, would have put last night’s aggrega tion out of business. Not only as re gards proficiency in the thespian art, but all along the line of what should constitute an ordinary good periorm ance. M,iss Mary F. Linden, who appeared as "Beauty Fairfax,’’ aesevres a slight mention because of her musical attainment. Thp leading ladjy, Miss Nichoils, appeared to uisadvantage because oi the fact that the entire portion of her lelt cheek was badly discolored which might have been caused oy au empty beer bottle or some other si miliar article,- It is a great pity that the people of Brunswick were compelled to pay one dollar in order to have a seat otherwise than in the peanut gallery, to witness such a performance as the ooie last night and it is also deplora ble that such an attraction should have the privilege of opening the the atrical season in Brunswick. As stated above, there were but two' performers lp the whole cast. The rest of them, women, of course, had the appearance of having been up against a game decidedly worse than the stage, and on the whole the per formance had all of those ingredients that go to disgust the average theater “Pickings from Puck,, will be the bill at the Grand tonight. WILL DRAW A LARGE CROWD. . Boy’s Sand and Drum Corps Will Play to a Large House. The Boy’s Band and Drum Corps of the Georgia Industrial home will be the attraction in Brunswick next Tuesday night.

At 3 O'clock the first concert will take place for the benefit of the la dies and children who cannot attend at night. At 8,30 they will play again and at this performance a large crowd is expected. All Brmr,",wick seems deeply inter e.- tert in the coming of these hoy- and the News sincerly hopes that they will play to two’crowded houses Naval Stores Land Beal.
