K Y. Roberts, the well khown
Brunswick furniture dealer, and Miss
Susie Hall, of Albany, were united In
marriage at the home of tho bride’s
parents, Judge and Mrs. W. K. Hall.
In that city at qp© o'clock Satur
day. The wedding was a quiet borne
affair rod was a surprise to
friends of eofh contracting parties In
their respective cities.
Mr. Hoberts has lived in Brunswick
all of his life and Is among the suc
cessful young business men of the
city while Miss Hall was a charming
daughter of the Artesian City. They
arrived in the city Monday morning

BE ESTABLISHED
mm
FIRST MOVE FOR SUCH AN OR
GANIZATION STARTED YESTER
DAY BY THE LADIES OF THE
MACCABEES.
An orphans’ home is a probable
possibility for Brunswick during the
present year, and while the matter
bos not yet taken definite shape It
has been discussed at some length
and a movement lotting to the es
tablishment of the home will be un
der way in a short time.
For some time two or three or
ganizia.tionia -In the city Slave been
discussing the subject/aut it has never
taken shape, although m my of those
interested have been anxious to see
the home establishment.
The float move looking to the estab
lishment of the home was made by
the Ladles of the Maccabees at their
meeting yesterday, when it was prac
tically decided to go to work for the
home.
It is believed that the ladles will
meet with support from the people oi
the city generally as soon its they get
the matter well under way, and It is
more than likely that a home for the
orphans will be established In Bruns
wick before the end of the present
year
HEARS! IS HEAD
OF THE LEAGUE
HE WAS ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF
INDEPENT LEAGUE AT A.
MEETING YESTERDAY.
New Y'ork, Jan. 8. —At. a meeting of
the Independent League, held in this
city today, William Randolph Hearst.
the defeated candidate for governor
of Iho state of New York, was named
as chairman, and he accepted.
This place was formerly held by
Max Ilimscn, campaign manager in
the various campaigns of Mr. Hearst
and of course he gladly stepped down
and out.
The retiring chairman is an em
ploye of Mr. Hearst.
it will he remembered that Hearst
said on the night, of his defeat, for
the governorship that ho would nevgr
b© a candidate for office again but
that ko would continue to fight In
the rantoi of the Independent League
and hlfPelectlon a,, chairman, it is
thought, means that an aggressive
campaign Ik to 1)3 started an once.

Van Winkle Is a play that has
won tho hearts of both present day

RUMOR ON WALL STREET THAT
HE WAS SICK CAUSED
BIG STIR.
New York, Jan. B.—Many rumors
were .afloat on Wall street this after
noon to the effect that J. Pierpont
Morgan had become critically ill and
would probably .die. It caused some
excitement and a change In much ot
the Morgan ‘securities but the rumor
was without tho slightest foundation
At the banking house of Mr.
Morgan is the head, it was stated
that the financier was In good health
and this was also the report sent oui
trom his home.
TELEPHONE CO. RESUMES WORK
Which was Suspended on Account of
Lack of Material.
The conduit force of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, which sus
pended. work In the city a few weeks
ago, has again gone to work on the
new system of the company In tills
city.
It was necessary to suspend work
on account of the shortage of mater
ial, the company finding it impossi
ble at that time to securo what was
needed for the work. It Is under
stood that plenty of this material Is
now on. hand, however, and the work
will he pushed a rapidly as possible
Seventy New Banks.

That a Line of Steamers Will be Es
tablished Between
and Havana Direct—To WurSy
chase New Ship.
So convinced is the management of
tk|." Brunswick .Steamship Company
that the commerce between the port
jf Bruswiek and that o£ Havana
can be enlarged to enormous propor
tions? that it has been do tided to
place anew steamer on the run di
ect £m Brunswick to Havana and
return, with regular trips as otven
is can be made between the twr ports.
Since the advertisement of e es
tablishment of the line, scheduling
steamers to leave New Y'oric, calling
at Brunswick eu route to Havana,
the traffic department of the com
pany has learned that there is an
immense traffic, both freight and pass
enger. in this section of the country
desiring a direct line from the port
of Bvunwick to Havana, and following
its usual custom the company is go
ing to put the additional ship on the
Havana line just as soon as it can be
purcsased.
Both Preldcnt Atkinson and Man
ager Dlroon discussed the matter yes
terday and it was given out that the
Brunswlck-Havana line would lie es
tablished us soon as possible.
Of course this is another advantage
for Brunswick, as a large amount of
freight now seeking Cuban shores via
steamers leaving Hurt Tampa, Mobile
and other Gulf port,3, will be diverted
to Brunswick, which will uijoy prob
ably a lower freight rate than ob
tains at the latter ports. It also
means the building up of a valuable
import business through Brunswick,
Mil at. the same time will make this
city <a distributing' ptou both Vor
shipments from and to the island of
Cuba.
General Manager Dlmon returned
o New York last night and a
as he reaches tjjat cuy h will look
Into the matter of securing the new
boat and some announce uent from
the compay will be forthcoming in
a few week's.

a sister ship of the Ponce, picked her
up and towed her to port today.
