' The whole thing is a coup d’etat of Master Workman la\ve of the Knights of Labor, lie has been for over a year past, aiming to be a leader among the negroes here, and has, to a great extent, succeeded; though, as he Isa British subject from Nassau and decline- to be come naturalized, glory more than politi cal ambition would seem to he hb ob ject. He is well aware t hat the want of cohesion among the stevedores has been the means of their frequent undoing, many <>f them taking contracts at rates which would not permit them to pay their employes; and he hag held them together with a baud of iron ever sinew tin* strike *>f last year, anti, be it said, to their general advantage. “They have, however, begun to rebel i atjhis autocratic exercise of authority, I and are developing factions among them- i selves, as indicated in yesterday’s specials. The strongest of tlje.-e is under i the leadership of ex-Statcsman Sam j Petty. It was to overcome the mutter ing> of these factions and to show them what lie could do for them, that Lowe ordered the demand for an increase in prices, and the preparation- for a strike in ease the demands were refused. “Petty stock is, at present, at a dis count, and the Lowe star is in the as cendant." •* "For Better or Worse At the residence of .Mr. J.

Not a day passes without an increase in their freight business. Recently Tuf. Times has given some account of the heavy freight business from Brunswick, but the business to the city is quite as heavy. For instance. Yesterday afternoon a freight train arrived via (lie Brunswick and Western consisting of an engine and sixty-five loaded cars. When the call was passing i the Ocean hotel, tbe engine was several blocks beyond the Brunswick and Wes : tern general office. People on the Bay i looked at the long train with great in terest, justly regarding it aH an evidence ] of the city’s progress. The engine that pulled the train was i No. 25, with Engineer Wright at the i throttle. Conductor Taylor was in j charge of the train. Brunswick is marching on, and the ; Brunswick and Western is helping her to do so. Looking for Richards. Brunswick’s police force is on the look i out. The officers have good reason to j believe that John Richards, the Wool- I folk witness, is still in the city. It is probable that every nook and corner of j the city will be searched by the officers, 'it is to be hoped that they will be suc -1 oesslul ia their efforts to secure him.

GAY YACHTSMEN Members of the New Yo”k Club to Visit Brunswick. Their Purpose is to Try This City as a Win ter Port-What They Will do A New York Man Expresses Hif Views About the City by the Sea Capt. J. N. Robbins, of New York, was in Brunswick Sunday. lie was on his way to Florida on business. Capt. Robbins told a Times reporter that it was probable that a considerable number of the members of the New York Yacht Club would make Brunswick’s harbor their anchorage next winter. It seems that both sail and steam yachts will be brought here, the purpose being to test Brunswick as a winter port for pleasure seekers. “1 am not a member of the club,” said said Capt. Bobbins, “but several of my friends are prominent in it. One of them informed me some weeks ago that a ma jority of the club had virtually decided to try Brunswick as a winter rendez vous." “What are their plans V” “They will bring their yachts to Brunswick about the middle or last of January. When all are ASSE.'IHI.EI) HERE, they will agree upon what points to the Southward they desire to visit, and will then make suoh voyages as may seem to oiler the greatest inducements for pleasure. The wealthy men who belong to the Jekyl Island club have told many interesting stories of their expe riences on the island and iu the neigh borhood of Brunswick. The impression has been made that the huuting iu this vicinity is very fine, and the yachtsmen propose to test the matter for themselves. Hi addition, it is understood that the climate here, is pleasant in winter and that storms are rare." “Is Brunswick much talked about in New York?" “Talked about? I should say so. The place was not in the route I selected when 1 left New York for Florida, but, when 1 arrived in Savannah, 1 deter mined to turn aside and spend a day hero, so that 1 might see the city of which I find beni and so rand' I liad| heard of Brunswick as a resort for pleas ure seekers, but I find that it is also a great place for business.” TO KEEP SAPELO OPEN. The Station Not to be Closed Oct 1, and Probably Not. Till January. The Savannah Morning News says; “There has been no Official informa tion received with reference to the poti- j tion of the health authorities of Savan-j nali and the ports of the South Atlantic coast to the marine hospital department to keep the Sapelo quarantine open, but ! it is understood that it will not bo closed j October i, as at first contemplated, on i account of the failure of an appropria tion to keep it open, but that it will re main open until January 1. “The station is iu charge of Dr. J. Iff. Groenevelt during the absence of Dr. White on furlough at his home in M il icdgeville. Dr. White had applied fora leave of absence to recruit his health, and Dr. Groenevelt was on his way South to take temporary charge when Dr. White w is struck down by lightning, “The importance of keeping the.Sapelo station open was recognized by Surgeon General Hamilton, and when the appro priation runs out the contingent fund, in the hands of the President, to prevent epidemics, will probably be drawn upon as it was iu 1884.” Tbe Largest Yet. Brunswick was, seemingly, very quiet during tbe mouth just past, but the effi cient police force, under Chief John B. Dart and his deputy, Lewis Beach, has been very watchful and has taken many evil-doers before the mayor. That offi cial has done some good work also, iu the way of fines, aud the receipts from the mayor’s court hails up a total of $403, for the month of August. This is the largest amount that has faien obtained from that source since t,he incorporation of the city. A good start was made yesterday morn ing toward keeping up the record. Bound Over. Before Justice Coker, yesterday, the negroes arrested by Constable I.evi-oa Sunday bad their trial. They were Alex Roberts, Sandy and Grace Bcrien, Tom and Charlotte Roberts. They were charged with having stolen a drove of turkeys from Mr. Stafford Burney, who resides near Sterling. Justice Coker bound over Alex Rob erts and Sandy and Grace Bcrien to the next term of the county court. The other two were dismissed. Broke His Leg. Simon Ellis, colored, who works atone of the docks in the city, had his left leg broken yesterday. Ellis was eugagod in moving some lumber, when the idle fell down on him, crushing his leg quite badly and breaking it just above the knee’. Ellis was taken to his home near Dixville and a physician was called in who set the fracture and left the man doing as well as could be expected under the oirou instances.

The tax is $8.03 ou the SI,OOO, instead of $8.14 as it was last year. Yesterday afternoon a horse belonging to Mr. Miuehan, the livery man, came leisurely galloping down Newcastle street, with a buggy hitched to him. The horse turned into Monk street and then into Grant, headed for the livery •stable. A t the corner .of Grant he ran the buggy against, a lamppost, leaving it there, as the harness gave wav. No other damage was done. THE NUMBER INCREASES. A Comparltlve Statement of the Foreign Vessels That Come aud Go. Brunswick’s advantages as a port are not only known throughout this Slate aud ttic United States, but her fame has gone across the waters, and the number of foreign vessels that conic iu here in creases almost every day. A Times reporter vent around tost he custom house yesterday, and obtained a comparative statement of the number o( foreign voissels that put in at this poin’, and those that cleared from here during the mouth of August, 1889, and the same month of 1888. There came iu during August, 1888, three vessels whose tonnage was 1,881. In the same mouth there were cleared fifteen vessels, with a tonnage of 7,394. In August of this year there were nine vessels whose tonnage aggregated 4,810 to come in, while sixteen vessels with a tonnage of 0,389 were cleared. These were only foreign vessels and did hot include any of the numerous coastwise crafts that have been in or out of port. 'This showing is quite a healthy one and speaks well for the increased business of ail characters that Brunswick is doing. ————- . FOR GOVERNOR. Somebody In Brunswick Nominates Hon. Fleming dußignon.

A dry dock is needed here greatly and efforts have long been made, although seemingly iu vain, to secure it.
