THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 3, NUMBER 53. Til LIGHTSHIP FOR BRUNSWICK f The Commerce Committee Renders a Favorable Report SIOO,OOO IS RECOMMENDED Expected That Bill Will be Passed When it Conies Up Before Con gress for Final Action—Ship is Much Needed. It looks as if Brunswick will get that lightship, which Congressman Braint iey has been after for some time, and the senate committee on com merce Thursday reported favorably on the bill, recommending the ap propriation of SIOO,OOO to erect and place a lightship off the outer bar ol this port. It will be remembered that Con gressman Brantley introduced a bill for this lightship at the last session rf congress, but,after the committee considered the bill for some time, it went over without ‘being favorably reported upon. As soon, as Mr. Brantley reached Washington this year he commenced to work for an appropriation for the lightship; and -has succeeded in get ting the committee to report favora bly, which practically means that it will be passed when it comes before congress. Mr. Brantley has bad the co-opera tion of southern, as well as other ports on the Atlantic coast in his ef forts to secure the lightship, as it is known to marine men generally that a ship of this kind is badly needed off the Brunswick bar. It is expected that the bill will come up before congress in the course of a few weeks, and will, in all probability, be passed. SPEEDY 3 j_ADDER3 THROWN. High Diver Came Near Being Killed at Albany.

DEATH OF NEGRO CAUSES TROUBLE ♦ Thought That Pompey Seven was Poisoned by His Roommate FRANK HAMILTON ARRESTED Colored Physician Refused to Issue Death Certificate—Sister\if the * Dead Negro Believes There is Foul Play. Was Fompey Seven, the well known colored longshoreman, who died very suddenly early Tuesday night poisoned by his room mate, Frank Hamilton, or did iio die from an aggravated case of brain fever? This is the question which is now troubling the minds of Seven's sister and Frank Hamilton.roommate of the deceased, who is now languishing in, the countv jail at her instance. The facts in the case, briefly put, are as follows: Hamilton and Seven j for several months have been rooming ! together at the corner of Wolf and L. j streets. For the past two or three ] weeks, it is claimed, some bad feeling] has existed between them, and at !i I fc’cloek Thursday night, Seven was found in an unconscious codition iu the yard near the rear entrance to his roam. Dr. J. W. Buggs, the well known colored physician was summon ed, but before he could prescribe for liis patient, Seven died. In the meantime, Susan Seven, sis ter of the dead man, swore out a war rant, charging Hamilton with adminis tering arsenic with poisonous intent. Hamilton was arrested, was placed in jail and still remains there. Later/®* the day Dr. Euggs refused to sign* .V burial certificate m the ground that there were several evi dences of foul play. Cloroner Jen nings, however, was called into ac tion aud under hip instructions, the body was interred in Greenwood cem etery. The Longslioresmen's union, of which Seven was a prominent member attended the funeral in a body, more than 600 of them being present. Pompey Seven was one of the best known Ctlored meD in Bruswick, and the mysterious circumstances sur rounding his death are attracting gen eral attention among the colored peo ple of the city. Dr. Buggs was seen by a News re porter lust night and he says that while there were no actual symptoms of poisoning before the death of the patient there was really some doubt in his maid about it and for that rea son he refused to make the usual doc tor’s ce tificate. Hamilton, the ac cused, is still in jail and will probably he given a preliminary hearing some time during the day. THREE REASONS. Each With 2 Legs ar.d 10 Fingers.

THE CAVALIER LAST NIGHT. Production Was Well Put On at the Grand. George Cable’s war romance, The Cavalier, was the attraction at the Grand last night. The audience, while rather small was an appreciative one. The play deals with an incident dur ing the civil war, and the author’s ; Point of view is distinctly southern. The scenery, stage effects, etc., were all very appropriate and very much in keeping with the play. The burden of the play falls to Miss Tittell. and as Charlotte Du rand, she handles her role with abil ity. In the heavy roles -she is ex ceedingly strong, her emotional abil ities being all that couldd be desired. Besides Miss Tittell, however, there were no other real good performers in the oast. Although the support ci uld have been better, there are no other real strong roles, except proba bly that of Captain Oliver, the spy, and Franklin Rickie handled that very well as did Frank Powell, as Lieuten ant Perry. Ail in all, the production was a very good one, and a larger house would piolably have greeted the performers had not the price been $1.50, which was rather too much for the attraction.

PRICE—FIVE CENTS, [CHICAGO IS TO GET CONVENTION ■ ♦ LJ Republicans will Hold Nat ional Meeting in the Windy City COMMITTEE NOW IN SESSION Several Other Cities are Bidding for the Convention But it is Be lieved That Chicago Will Secure it. Wash Igl on, D. C., Dec. 11 -The cit izens’ committee gathered in Wash ington Ir m various cities to boom their i nvn., as proposed meeting places of the Republican National Con vention in 1904 are increasing rapidly. Pursuant to the call of Chairman Han na the Republican National Committee went into session at the Arlington ho tel today. Today's session is solely; for the purpose of appointing sub emmittees and the claim of cities as piring to entertain the national con vention will not be heard until tomor row. An exceedingly active competition to secure the national convention Is in progress among the delegations representing several cities, and to night, when all the uatioiml commit teemen and ail the city delegations will be here, hard work will be done. The delegate u representing the Horn ilton Club of i hieago, which was the earliest to put in an appearance aud secure headquarters at a leading ho tel, was streug l lieued by the arrival of several more Chicagoans today. Chicago is prepared to put up the ?bii,oJOguai uuteo and also to offer an additional $30,000 to equip the Coli seum as a place for holding the con vention. It appears at present that a majority of the national committee men favor Chicago a.-, the meeting place, but the contest lias not reached a point where any particular city can claim a definite assurance of having won the fight, in addition t-o Chicago the cities of New fori., Pittsburg, Buffalo, (Cleveland, Omaha, Detroit, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Sail Pram cisco have made preliminary bids for ihe convention. The majority of these however, have dropped out of the fight and only a few will present their claims to the committee, tomorrow. The meeting oi ihhu committeemen lias given rise to many reports and much speculation as io what will he done by the committee regarding the presidential campaign of next year. Prom statements recently published there seems to be an impression that the national committee now in exist ence will have charge of the next presidential campaign in some un explained way', and that the conduct of tin.- campaign is to he discussed at the present meeting. Asa lur.ttc/N of fact the present national conuniSte, practically ceased to have any author ity -after the close si tne national cam paign of 1900.
