TWO SEAMEN OF THE BARK
JUANITO JUMPED FROM THE
VESSEL YESTERDAY AS SHE
WAS PASSING OUT TO SEA.
Two sailors aboard' the TJragjiyan
bark Juanlto, bound for Valencia.
Sfpain, tired of life on -the ocean
wave, made a desperate and success
ful effort to escape yesterday morn
ing. The big bark was being towed
to sea by the tug Edgar F. Coney
and while well off the sea buoy tne
two men, one of whom was at the
wheel steering the vessel, leaped over
bound. The Coney was towing two
Wasels and in the rear of the foreign
er was the four-masted schooner
Blanche H. King. The pilot boat Jor
dan had just left the two vessels an l
both the crews of the King and llie
Jordan noticed the two men battling
with the waves in a bard tight for
their lives.
The skiff of the Jordan was soon
out to save the two men, and being
managed by Capts. Walter and Sam
uel Brockinton, soon reached and res
cued the two men.
They were taken aboard the pilot
boat Jordan and later in the day
placed aboard the -schooner Anna R.
Bishop. This schooner was bound for
port and wjts overhauled, the me.i
placed aboard and brought to port.
The wofiW of the two sailors was
bitterly condemned along the river
front yesterday for they sought ana
took a very unfair advantage of the
master of the Juanlto, who bad al
ready paid them a portion of their
wages for the trip across the At
lantic.
There should be some redress for
the outgoing vessel, but there seems
to be none and she is now compelled
to proceed on her long voyage to far
away Spain, short two lable-bodiea
men.

PETER STEWART HELD
FOR DOUBLE MURDER
Coroners Jury Met Yesterday and investi
gated the Tragedy os a Few Days Ago
We, the jury, summoned to inquire
into the death of Samuel Streator and
Israel Lindsay, which occurred ir. thisj
city early on the morning of Septem
ber 10, at 216 North Lee street, flndj
from the sworn testimony, that there!
is sufficient reason to believe that!
Peter Stewart is guilty of the offense
of murdering the said Samuel Streator;
and Israel Lindsay, and that he be!
held without ban.. We also find that:
Ella Bergman, a material witness for,
the state, should be held in a bond!
sufficient to insure her appearance at
the next session of the Glynn super !
ior court.’’
The above is the text or the verdict
of the coroner's jury which has been
investigating the case of the killing
of Streator and Lindsay for very- near
two weeks.
The last and final session of the
jury was held in the office of Coro

IMPORTANT MATTER WILL BE
TAKEN UP BY RAILROAD COM
MISSION AT THEIR SESSION IN
OCTOBER.
At its October meet’ng, the rai'-
road commission will decide whether,
under the provisions of the Steel
bill, its power has been increased
so as to give it legal authority to re
quire the switching of cars, to pro
vide a reasonable rate therefor, and to
appiy a penalty for delays, etc. The
question is of vital importance to
shippers, especially those located in
the larger cities, entered by two, or
more roads, and the meeting wilt
doubtless he largely attended.
The commission will the pleased
to have any person interested i.i the
question to appear on October •!, and
present their views on tlie matter.
In the event the commission decid
es that its power has been increased
so as' to give it legal authority to
compel switching, provide rates and
assesses penalties for delays, and it
is developed that the shippers de
mand relief in this respect, an or
der, requiring the roads to switcn
cars delivered by another road, wiu
be promugated.
Secretary George F. Montgomery
of the commission, has Issued the
following formal notice of the meet
ing and the hearing:.
To Whom it May Concern:
The railroad commission has held
that its penalty demurrage rules do
not apply to delays caused in the
transfer or switching of cars after tin
car has been tendered and accepted by
the consignee named In the bill of
lading, or in other words, after the
contract named in 'the bill of lading
has been completed. The commission
will at its meeing on October 4, how
eyverr, cpnsid'er the question as to
whether or not its authority’ has been
so -jincreajsed by the provisions of
the Steed bill, passed at the session
of the legislature in 1905, as to give
It legal authority to require the
switching of cars, to provide a reason
able rate of charges therefor, and to
apply penalty rules for delays, etc.,
and at, the time above indicated the
commission will be pleased to have
any person interested in this ques
tion to appear and present his views
upon the subject.
By order of the board-
George F. Montgomery,
Secretary.
The question of switching was rath
er an important one here In Bruns
wick some time ago and both the
railroads and the shippers will ba
interested in the hearing next month.

WRITES OF THE NAN
Head of New Steamer Line Expiains the
Position of the New Company
The following letter from President
A. 1?. Small, of Hie Macon Chamber of
Commerce is self-explanatory:
Editor of the Brunswick News,
Brunswick, Ua.
Bear Sir.
Permit me space for reply to your
news item in your issue of Wednes
day 1, September 12, and your editor
ial. appearing on tin- day following,
relative to the •learner Nan Elizabeth.
This boat was chartered by a body
of enterprising Macon merchants on
June 1, 1906, for the purpose of as
certaining if navigation was practi
cable between Brunswick and Macon,
and has since that, time been operate !
under the auspices of the Macon
Chamber of Commerce.
The experiment lias demonstrated
Hu- practicability of river navigation,
resulting in tin- formation of the Mu
con aud Brunswick Navigation Com
pany, the books of which company
have only recently been opened for
subs- ription.
Tiie two articles appearing in your
issue of Sep-cnilicr 12 aud 13 are cer
tainly the i--ii 11 of some hasty cal
culations, for at no lime has the man
agi'i.'.ml of the steamer Nan Eliza
•letii bs 'h approached by any one in
Brunswick with an offer of freight
-u'iy.ina,ing in your city, i have never
been even aslu-d to name a rate on
any commodity originating al Bruns
wick, and even if i had, it would have
seen made with the distinct under
standing I hut, in as much us tin- Nan
act in tiie following manner: He shah
declare on oath before a clerk having
competent jurisdiction, in the district
in which such alien resides, two years
at h asl prior to his admission, aim
after he lias reached the age of l-S
years, that it is his bona (ldo inten
tion to become a citizen of the Uni
ted Stalls, and to renounce forever
all allegiance, potentate, slate or
sovereignty of whi h the alien may
he at that time a citizen or subjeci.
And such declaration shall set forth
ilu- name, ago, occupation, personal
description, place of birth, last for
vigil rosidiuce, ami allegiance, the
date of arrival, the name of the ves
sel, if any, in which the alien came
to the United States, and the pres

NORMAN E. MACK WILL No*f SUP
PORT HIM! IN HIS FOR
DEMOCRATIC NObIrtNATION FOR
GOVERNOR. X
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. Hi. —Norman K.
Mark, a member of the national dein
ocraMc coiiiiuittee, who has all along
favored the nomination of W. H,
flour:;!., as the democratic candidate
for governor, has decided to jump the
New York editor and will lend his sup
port to some other prominent dem
ocrat.
In a lelier read today to the
gates of (lie Second assembly dis
trict convention, Mr. Mack stated that
h" ,s a sincere advocate of Mr.
near. t’s nomination for governor of
I New York, Inn since he lias accept*
jCd the nomination of another party, he
does not think it best for the dem
ocratic party to name him.
Elizabeth was making an experiment,
she would bring Brunswick freight
to points up tiie river only when sh -
ield room for this tonnage. It; ha
happened that at no time since we
have been operating this boat has
she left Biuuliwiek without a fun
cargo.
On account of the huliffeivn. e of
your wholesale firms (with the ex
ception of one or two o’ your larger
crosstie companies) l was well piv
pared fo receive the intelligence from
the Brunswick Crosslin and Civosn
ting Company, that the f.Vtioo of stock
allotted to Brunswick would not ho
subscribed to. Brunswick might
want a boat line, hut how many dol
lars worth does she want it Y
The charge of discrimination you
make is absolutely absurd, and if 1
had been approached In that spirit
of fairness which would have ,
mitted tne to have shown the atlitmlo
of the Macon people, ii would never
have been made.
I am -constrained to frankly be
lieve that some interest antagonistic
to the enterprise, lias made a weak
al tempt to put us in a bad light lx
tore your people, hut until we are fm
ced to believe otherwise, our confi
dence in the rail- judgment of your ri
(Lens will remain unchanged.
