Dallas, March 19.—Special telegrams
reoeived this morning state that north
ern Texas was swept by a windstorm
last night that at times developed the
proportions of a cyclone. The worst
damage reported so far occurred at
Denton, where over 1,000 bouses were
struck by the storm and all more or
less damaged. The storm in the vi
oinity of Denton has caused damage
to the extent of SIOO,OOO. Jack Sim
mons was fatally injured in the debris
of a falling house. It is thought that
great damage to life and property has
been done in the territory west of
Denton.
The storm also swept over the towns
of Hutchins and Itasca, unroofing
houses and wrecking small buildings.

homes.
A Complicated Case.
Savannah, March 19. —The case of
Mona Reagan vs. the Florida Central
and Peninsula railroad was decided
today in the city court. It was a case
where tbe plaintiff settled a case with

ceedings for damages. The conten
tion was on tbe part of the plaintiff,
who were practically the attorneys in
tbe matter, that the defendant had no
right to compromise a case without

neys disclaimed a compromise on their
part. The jury rendered a verdict
which gives-the plaintiff SSOO, 50 per
cent, of which goes to the attorneys.

BRUNSWICK, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 20 1897.
THE TRUSTS
TO TRIUMPH
Over the Anti-Trust Law, Ac
cording to Interested
Authorities.
SAVANNAH JOBBERS SOLID
Against the Calvin Law-the Supreme
Court Relied on to Knock
It Out-
Savannah, March 19.—The Savannah
wholesale merchants believe that the
Calvin anti-trust law will soon be
knocked out. They anticipate that
the supreme court will in a shprt time
give it a vicious jab over the heart
that will do more to it than Fitzsim
mons’ terrible punch did to Corbett
last Wednesday. They have contended
all along that the hill was not a con
stitutional one, and that they have
heard with delight that the trusts are
to tight the Calvin law. They believe
it will be killed. A Savannah jobber
stated this morning that be hoped the
law would be declared unconstitu
tional. He liked doing business un
der the protection of tbe trusts; good
profits could be made and there was
no cutting of prices.
JOBBERS WILL JOIN HANDS.
The law will be fought in Atlanta,
but every jobber in Georgia will con
tribute to the expense incurred. They
will fight for what they believe to be
their common good, and the best law
yers in the state will be employed. 8o
far as can be ascertained, no Savannah
jobbers have received any notices that
the law is to be ignored after April 1.
UTTERLY UNCONCERNED.
The American Sugar Refining com
pany, one of the biggest of the big
trusts, has never paid much attention
to the law anyway. This concern bas
gone right along letting tbe merchants
have sugar and giving rebates at the
end of the month. There has been
but one deviation from the old rule.
Before the passage of the anti-trust
bill jobbers were required to take aD
oath that during the month for which
rebates were allowed they had not
sold sugars below tbe contract price.
They do not have to take this oath
now. That is absolutely all the atten
tion given the bill by the big concern.
A Factory in Flames.
Winston, N, C., March 19.—The to
bacco factory of H. E. Robinson & Son,
at Mockville, was destroyed by fire
last night. The loss is heavy, with
little insurance.
We have the greatest variety of la
dies’ and misses’ new style shoes to

KNOCKED FROM THE CAB.
A Colored Fireman Falls By the
Track.
Dan Nixon, a colored fireman on
train No. 25 of the B. & W., was se
verely injured by a mysterious acci
dent at Waycross yesterdav morning
while his engine was standing on the
side-track. Tbe engineer had just
stepped out for orders, when Nixon
was suddenly knocked out of tbe cab,
either by a blow or a sudden jolt of
the train.
He was found lying senseless by the
right-of-way, and was removed on the
next train to his home at 118 North
Amherst street in this city. Dr. Bran
ham, who was called in, says bis in
juries are not serious.

A B. & W. Wreck.
A wreck occurred on the B. & W.
railroad Thursday night about 11
o’clock, near Willacooohie, on the
through freight for this city. The ac
cident, which was caused by the
withdrawing of the bumper, led to
the destruction of five box cars.

Governor Bradley Again Declines to Inter
fere—Their Confessions Closely
Scrutinized.
Frankfort, March 19—Governor
r
Bradley has again decided not to in
terfere with the sentence of the court
in the case against Scott Jackson and
Alonzo Walliug, and the execution
will take place tomorrow. He pub
licly announced his final determina
tion in the case after carefully reading
the confessions of the two men for the
second time and studying over the re
cords in the case till 3 o’clock this
morniDg.
IN A NEW CELL.
Newport, Ky., March 19.—Jackson
and Walling were transferred to this
city from Alexandria at noon today
and are now safely locked up in a ceil
in the county jail. Everything is in
readiness for the execution. A tele
gram from Frankfort says that troops
will leave that city on the Midland
road at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
The murder which these two men
will expiate with their lives is the
blackest and foulest in the history of
Kentucky. Pearl Bryan, the victim,
was but a child aDd was bijing driven
by one of the murderers, a backman.to
a place she desired to visit.* She never
reached it, but her body, with bead
severed, was afterward discovered.
Both men have made confessions,
which precludes the possibility of offi
cial interference in their case.

FREAKY WIND.
Some Thought the September Storm
Had Come Again.
A sudden, gusty gale struck tbe city
yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock.
Many remembered the disastrous
storm of last September and were
frightened.
The wind played several curious
pranks. Kaiser’s neckwear showcase
in front of ids store was wrecked and
the contents scattered on the street.
A boxcar near the Standard Oil com
pany’s warehouse was unroofed. Con
siderable fencing was blown down and
some of the streets littered with tree
limbs.
The skylight over the Riflemen’s
armory was blown off and the gun
room deluged.
Considerable damage was done to
the telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires. There was consequent
confusion in telephone connections
last night.
A live wire was blown down in
front of Shepard’s Bay street saloon.
It fell on one of A.T. Putnam’s horses,
scarring it considerably.
Passengers on last night’s trains re
ported that the brief gale did little
damage in the adjoining country.
The wind’s velocity here was esti
mated, for a few moments, at 60 miles
an hour,
STATE BANK SUITS.
Colonel Kay Has Gone East to Insti
tute Proceedings.
Col. W. E. Kay is off for the east,
armed with the supreme court’s re
cent decision against the stockholders
of the state bank.
Colonel Kay, during his absence,
will institute suits against each of the
stockholders who are liable under the
decision. The largest of these stock
holders live in Vermont.
Colonel Kay will be absent lor sev
eral weeks. It is probable that a
number of tbe stockholders will settle
without allowing the cases to go into
court.
OHIO DUE MONDAY.
The Excursion Steamship Will Call
at This Port on That Day.
The American line steamship Ohio,
3488 tons, which left New York on
February 6 for a cruise of the West In
dies, is due here on next Monday
morning, Brunswiok being the last
stopping place on the cruise.
The Ohio will not come into port,
but will stop off the bar. She will be
met by Mr, 11. H. Raymond, with the
tug Inca, for the purpose of landing
her passengers and exchanging mails.
The stop here is for the purpose of al
lowing the passengers to take a trip
through Florida, and it is probable
that a number will take advantage of
the opportunity and come ashore on
the Inca.
Capt. O. Johanneson, who is the lo
cal agent for the line, has received a
large quantity of mail matter for pas
sengers on the ship.
The Ohio comes to Brunswick direct
from Vera Cruz. Capt. W. J. Boggs
is in command, and there are 124 pas
sengers on board, each of whom paid
SI,OOO for the trip. The amount of the
passage money indicates the financial
condition of the passengers.
The Ohio made a similar cruise last
winter, but stopped at Fernandina in
stead of Brunswick. Through the ef
forts of Mr. Raymond the managers of
the line changed the program so as to
make Brunswick a stopping place.
Among the passengers on board are
the following well known people:
Hon. and Mrs. Roswell P. Flower, Mr.
and Mrs. Reginald de Koven, Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Chatfield-Taylor, Mr. and
Mrs. H. O. Armour, Mr. nnd Mrs. F.
J. Huntingdon, Dr. and Mrs. J, Mur
ray Jordan, Hon. and Mrs. Samuel TANARUS,
