Capt. Burgess, o£ the barkentino
Bonny Doon, which sailed for Havana
yesterday, is one of the oldest marin
ers who comes Lo this port. The “old
man,'’ as his sailors call him, is seven
ty-live years of age. He has never
been ill in his life and has never
started on a voyage on Sunday. H©
is a great old fellow; says he has spent
sixty-live years of his life on the sea
and thinks iie will stay at the helm
for many years yet.
Should he Stopped.
Brunswick theatre-goers, or In fact,
many of them, have a habit of leaving
their seats at every show five or ten
minute,s before the performance is
over. Last night ai visitor to the city
who attended the performance at the
Grand, was surprised to see a dozen cr
two men jump from their seats fully
five minutes before the curtain went
down, and he remarked that he had
never seen- that done before. These
people, breaking for the door, inter
rupts the performance, and it should
be stopped. It is an easy matter to
make your exit after the performance
and there are doors enough at the
opera house to prevent anything like
a stampede alter the performance.
Wait until the curtain drops before
fQ\i leave you seats. _

Chatham county jail by Rev. T. B.
Stanford, pastor of the Methodist
church at Douglas, will be taken to

“Cribb was brought to Savannah and
placed in the Chatham county jail
for sale keeping, after having escap
ed from the Coffee county jail, and
has been here ever since.
Cribb’s only hope of escape from
the gallows lies in the fact that the
case is now before the pardon board,
but, reviewing the man’s crime and its
very wantomieas, it is hardly prob
able that the board will entertain any
thoughts of interferrimg in the mat
ter. An appeal for anew trial has
been denied the condemned man.
“At the Chatham county jail Cribb
is said lo he a model prisoner.”
Tlie case of Cribb is familial to

tion Last Night.
The Wills Musical Comedy Com
pany was the attraction at the Grand

ance stand.
The production is one of those
laughing comedies with the well known
comedian, John B. Wills, as tho star.
There is about as much plot to tho
play as there is harmony in the Good
Government club politicians in this
city. It opens with a musical comedy
on the vocal order and closes tho
same way. On tho whole, the perfor
mance, considering tho font that is
was a popular price affair, was a got si
ono and deserved a better audience
than it had last, night.

BOARD OF TRADE
WILL COMPLAIN
No Work Has Been Done
oil Our Harbor in
Two Years
MONEY IS AIM’ROPRIAEED
Forty Thousand Dollars Given by Gov
ernment at Last Session of Con
gress, But Still No Work
Has Been Done,
It is probablo that tho Brunswick
board of trade will shortly on tot- a
complaint with the United States gov
ernment. for the lack of work oni our
harbor, both inner and outer, not. be
cause the government has not appro
priated money for tho work, but be
cause the company which was award
ed tho contract lias not complied with
•he same.
It seems, tiiat for some reason or
other, no work has been dome on tlia
outer bar under tho appyopriation
secured by Mr. Brantley at. the last
session of congress.
The appropriation was for $40,000
for tiie purpose of obtaining an ad
ditional foot of water ou the outer
bar, but tho money has not been
touched yet. It is stated that the en
gineers have been waiting on the
large dredgeboat Cumberland, which
litats been! doing work in Florida, but
it has not been stated whou the boat
will be brought here.
Congressman Brantley said yester
day that he intends to investigate
the matter as soon as ho reaches
Washington, and will see why work
has not been done on the bar.
It baa now been about two years
since the government expended onq
cent on our outer bar. During that
time sand, of course, has accumulated
and tho bar needs the (attention) of
the govomment. Inasmuch as ths
money has already beau appropriated
for the work it seems that those who
have the contract should send the
dredge here at once.
