WORKONTHECANAL
—t —
Col. Quinn Says Work will
Soon Begin on the
Waterway
From ail indications work will soon
be commenced on the canal that is to
be cut through Plantation and Clubb
creeks to tho Altamaha river, aud
Col. Quinn, In charge of the govern
ment work in this section, thinks the
plan is an excellent one. Speaking
of the proposed canal, the Savannah
News of yesterday, says:
The announcement in tho Morning
Newri yesterday that the special com
mittee appointed to investigate the
advisability of cutting through from
the Altamaha river to the back river,
near Brnuswick, is regarded by Col.
Quinn as the first step takjen to
wards the inland route. The Skida
way Narrows project was a part of
the original plan.
.At present boats along the Altama
ha are compelled to pass into St.
Simon sound and other sounds on
their way to Brunswick. Considera
ble danger was run by this route, a
danger which the new route will com
pletely obliterate. When completed
the boats can come from all points
along tho Altamaha river to Bruns
wick by an inland route, sheltered
from b'gh winds and ocean storms.
The plan is feasible owing to deep
water in the back river. By moving
a () urt distance down the Aitumana
boats reach Clubb’s creek. A short
distance from this creek, at a point
nearly opposite St. Simon's sound,
runs Plantation creek. By cutting
through this narrow strip of land boats
can easily reach the Black river nno
thence move down it to a point oniy
a snort distanco from Brunswick, rhe
plan is one which was warmly advo
cated by Col. Quinn and t.ie report
of the special board, recommending
the work, is highly pleasing to him.
This ie regarded as the first stey
in the original Inland route project,
of which the cut through Sludaway
Narrows was a part. 'Though th lat
ter has been lost sight of for urn pro,,
ent, Cc 4. Quinn, is confident that u wi i
lw heard from later, and that event
ually the entire route will be estab
noiied. When this is done u.e ea
ger of ocean trips will be greatly ies
sened and traffic bettered In more
ways than one.

LtE CRiflß WAS
PUT TO DEATH
-
.Coffee County Murderer
Died on the Gallows
Yesterday
SOLICITOR BENNETT S WORK
He Had to Fight Beet Attorneys in
This Section to Send the Man
to the Gallows—A Hard
Fight to Save Him.
Telegraphic information received
here yesterday announced that Lee
Cribb, the famous Coffee county mur
derer, was put to death yesterday.
Every possible advantage was taken
by the attorneys of Cribb to save liia
neck, but at lav;t the magosty of the
law prevailed, and one of the most
reprehensible crimes ever committed
in the Brunswick circuit han boeu dealt
with as the law provides.
In this connection the able and en
ergetic work of Solicitor-General
John W. Hennett, of this circuit, is en
titled to the very highest character
of praise.
In this case the very strongest char
acteristics of the solicitor have been
brought out. Cribb was willing to pay
almost any fine imposed by the court.
In a drunken brawl he had commit
ted murder; his people were willing
to put up money for his neck, but to
no avail, and in every phase of this
case, the rugged honesty and aliio
ability of the solicitor general has
shown out very distinctly.
Cribb was a murderer, pure and sim
ple, and his execution at Douglas yes
terday vindicates the law ar,d is a
just tribute to the splendid intellect
of Solicitor Bennett, who. in ibis evo
has had to fight the best legal tal
ent In this section of the state.
When you come to think of it Solic
itor-General Bennett is one of the best,
prosecuting attorneys in all of the
criminal courts of Georgia. The ses
sion of the superior court of Glynn
county, which recessed yesterday,
shows that every defendant on the
criminal. docket was convicted. The
cases varied in character from the
simplest of offenders to the gravest 5
of criminals and in each case that
sterling individuality and strong ef
fort of the solicitor showed itself at the
proper time, and jury after jury re-j
turned verdicts of guilty.
It is with great pleasure 011 the J
part cf The News to commend Soli-!
citor Emmett for his able work. He I
is faithful to the state, yet consider
ate ir. all cases, and no public offi
cial in south Georgia has grown upon
the people any more than has been
the case with this well known citizen
of Waycross.
The superior court recessed yester
day until January 11, and at that timi
judge Darker and Solicitor Bennet j
will here again and will resume the,
trial if Due criminal docket
In connection with the execution o' j
Cribb yesterday but little could be j
learned on the subject, owing to thoj
fact that it takes a telegram sever, j
hours to get to Douglas. However |
it is learned that the man was carried
there from Savannah Thursday nigh'
and when told that his last chance had
been lost he received the news with
out skewing any signs of fright, and
w hen ha was carried to tho gailov: |
he displayed that grim silence that
has characterized him since his awful j
crime at Nicholls a year ago.
Judge Parkei and Solicitor Genein.
Bennett both of whom were in the cit
yesterday, were very much grat.fiv
when they learned, through The New;
that the sentence of the court in this
case bud not miscarried, i—y •-
deserve to be complimented tor thou
work in enforcing the law again- 1
great odds in this special piece or lit
igation, which has attracted uie atte 1-
tion of the entire state.

It is understood that Captain Lea A.
Robinson, of the Brunswick Riflemen,
[will cr hi s already, tendered his res
ignation 10 the c iiupany, to heroine ef
fective as Boon- as a successor can he

It has been reported for seme time
that Captain Robinson contemplated
leaving tl 0 command of the company,
and it was staled in these columns sev
eral months ago that he was too press
ed with business to attend to the
duties of the company,
A News reporter endeavored to see
Ceptrin Robinson on tho subject
terday, but failed. However, several
members of the company were teci,
and wki'e none of them would give
out anything definite, it is pretty well
understood that the commanding of
:cer will leave the command early
lext month, and it is believed that
.is resignation has been forwarded
.0 the adjutant general.
Captain Robinson has been connect
ed with the local military for a num-j
.;er of years, and he is one of the bestj
actimans in the state. The Rifle-j
men reg.et that he is to leave them
at. appreciate the fact that ho hasj
lot the necessary time to devote to;
company matters.
Just who will be selected to the!
eaplpincy is not known, hut one or
.wo nasjis are already being mention
'd ir. connection with the place, and
a News reporter heard from good au
■ hority 3 esterday that one of the best
known ar.d most popular military
men in Brunswick was being con
sidered, -nd if he will accept he will
no doubt be elected to tho place. We
are not at liberty, at this time, to
give his name.

CELEBRATION IN NEW ORLEANS.
Crescent City Yesterday was Dscoiat
de With Stars and Stripes,
New Orleans, La., Dec. 18.—Tho
Crescent City today looks like Nice or
Seville in carnival time. It L un-
American in color of decorations, in
the banner's aud iuottoe3 displayed
and in the dress and speech of the
numerous sailors aud naval officers
seen about the streets. True, tho
Btars and Stripes are almost every-1
where to be seen side by side or in
tertwined with tho foreign colors, but
with this exception in tho detail of
the decorations studied efforts have
been made to give New Orleans the
same outward aspect it boro a century
ago, when it was more French than
-.merienn and with a strong admixture
of Spanish in the papulation and cur.
toms.
When the leaders of New Orleans
society, together with distinguished
diplomats army and naval officers and
otlmr invited guests, gathered in tho
old French opera bouse tonight for
the grand ball which is to usher in the
throe days’ celebration of the Louisia
na Purchase Centennial, it will no;
be difficult for tho onlooker to see in
Ills mind's eye the similar scene of
exactly one hundred years ago when
the belles and beaux of this city, with
Spanish, French and American civil
and military officers, danced the gay
minute at what was called the Trans
fer ball.
The ladies of the Lonisiana His
torical Society having in charge the
arrangements for tonight's function
have carried out their plans in u way)
to insure the success of the affair.
Among the guests of note will bo thej
Spanish and French ambassadors and)
officers of th Spanish, French and
American war vessels now at New
Orienas. The ladies will dress iu the
costume of 1803. New Orleans beli
es, descendants of those who took part
in the original ceremonies, will open
the ball with a minui \ At uudnigni
the dancing will be intterrupted with
a old-fashioned New Orleans supper,
similar in every particular to that serv
ed at the Transfer hall a century ago.

that it would be impossible for him
