■THE BRUNSWICK TIMES. jpwpr ' In. M ■ Frankfort. Ky., April 2.-Tbe Alack burn forces are beginning to believe there will be no election of a States senator at the extra session and they will light accordingly. There seems to be only two chances for an election; first, that che gold democrats foroe the silver democrats to carry out their bluff to elect Bradley; and sec ond, that Senator Henry L. Martin, gold democrat, is put through as a compromise candidate. Hunter has given out the following statement: “I was fairly nominated ia a republican caucus, in which nearly all of the republican members participated. I shall remain the nom inee for senator until the nomination is withdrawn from me by a majority of the same body which commissioned me.” The silver democrats prevented a quorum at today’s joint session. Only 05 members, including gold democrats, answered to their names. One ballot was taken, ft resulted: Hunter 55; Davie 7, Boyle 1. The silver demo crats and two others refused to an swer to their names. The Hunger people said the reason the opposition broke a quorum was that they feared some more members were comiug to Hunter today. The real reason was that the gold demo crats were about to spring the name of Senator H. L. Martin, and the Blackburn people were atraid o,f the risk at this juncture, After the joint session, Snator Martin said that the movemlft to make him a candMgte was wholly un authorized. CABINET QUITS Austria’s Ministry Goes Out for Want of a Majority.

He says that he was on board prospecting the sponge fields with a view of Tfotrrg—tnto- the —sponging —business, but that he has given up the idea in disgust, for if he has to take the chances of being arrested every few days by a revenue cutter and be towed into Kew West harbor, there can be no money in it.

One of the Possibilities of Our Grow ing Shipping Business. The Charleston Importing and Ex porting company was organized in Charleston several months ago, the main object of the company being the importing of Brazilian coffees tor sale throughout the Southern states. Several cargoes have been received and samples distributed with agents at all jobbing points from the coast to tbe Ohio and Mississippi. The experiment has so far met with unuuai success and g : yes every prom ise of becoming one of the foremost among Charleston’s commercial inter ests. The coffee is brought in sailing ves sels from Brazil, thus securing very low freight rates and enabling the im porter to compete with the importing houses of Baltimore and New York. Those among the citizens of Bruns wick who have watched the progress of this interesting experiment will naturally wonder why Brunswick can not also import coffee and other for eign articles of general consumption. There certainly is no reason why our city, with much better port facil ities than Charleston, and as well equipped in railroad service, cannot do a splendid business in this line. It is to be hoped that some of our ener getic oitizens will go to work on that line. ONE OF THE FIRST. The Spanish Steamship Guido is at Quarantine. The Spanish steamship Guido ar rived yesterday from Havana and is detained at quarantine for the legal time of detention. The Guido is one of the few Span ish steamships ever in port.

For beauty and cheapness they cannot be excelled; will be found at Mrs. Earle’s. Ladies are respectfully invited to see for themselves THE LISTENER. Seme of the Things That Are Over heard in a Brunswick Day. The multiplicity of electricians now in Brunswick is quite perplexing. Tbe new incandescent plant has given a great stimulus, looally, to this branch of industry, and people who have work in that line will by no means suffer from the exactions of a monopoly. Messrs. Smith & Collins, the two Brunswiok carpenters, who left this city yesterday on the Mallory liner Colorado, have many thousand miles t travel bef iliey reach th£ their journey. Their intentions were announced in TiiKTiMKsa month ago, and their friends doubted the story. Yeeterday, however, the two gentle men set all doubts at rest by embark ing. They will go to New Zealand, aud will make the trip by way of New York and San Francisco “The Times,” said a well known merchant yesterday, “has struck the keynote and filled a want long felt by Brunswick business men, in securing the daily telegraphic market reports. It is gratifying to the friends of The Timts that the paper is making such valuable improvements. No feature of a new°paper is so indispensable to merchants as the market report.” The disgraceful bog around the Union depot is still there, with no signs of an intention to abate tbe nuis ance. The railroad should be com pelled to fill in the low- places. There is no possible excuse for the existence of such things.

The committee appointed by Ogle j thorpe Lodge, K. of I’., has beep, en ergetically oanvassing tbe business bouses of the city with a view to as certaining the amount of contribu tions that can be obtained for the en tertainment of the members of the Grand Lodge, if the encampment can be secured for next year. They have met with fair success and hope to raise a sufficiently large subscription list to warrant giving the invitation. . There are 103 lodges in Georgia and about 20 uniformed companies, and it is said that tbe encampment of tbe Grand Lodge would bring tbe total number of visitors up to 2,500. The local members say that nearly all the lodges are anxious to have Brunswick selected. It seems from this that all depends on tbe liberality anil public spirit of our citizens. It is hoped that such a golden op portunity to help our city further along the road to prosperity will not be allowed to pass.

The boat sank so quickly that the rest of tbe crew and passengers bad a narrow escape. THE CITY GOES. The Familiar Steamer Leaves for Her New Run Today. The steamer City of Brunswick, which has been on the Cumberland Route for 10, these many years, leaves today for anew route. The purchase of the Governor Saf ford, a larger and better steamer, dis places the City of Brunswick on her old run, and she will hereafter be em ployed on the run from Mayport to Jacksonville on the St. John’s river. The steamer,since the GovernorSaf ford has been taking her run, has been thoroughly overhauled and repaired and is now in excellent conditiqu, Capt. D. B. Stallings will be City of Brunswick on her ,uu. Captain Stallings is not licensed for uie Bt. John’s riyer, however, and Captain Brown will have charge of the steamer, until Captain Stallings obtains tbe required papers. The City of Brunswick came to Brunswick many years ago as the Thomas Collyer, and has been since that time continuously on tbe Cumber land and Florida route. She will leave today at 1 o’clock for Jacksonville. Our stock of tan shoes for men and ladies is the largest and most complete of any ever shown in Brunswick. Pal mer’s. With Cuban Colors. With a large Cuban rtag flying from tbe peak and tbe United States flag from the gaff, the tug Dauntless backed out on tbe St. Johns river at noon yesterday and caused consider able excitement along the river front, for nearly every onß who saw her thought that she would attempt to run the blockade established by Uncle Sam. The object was soon apparent, for Wiidenhain, the well-known pho tographer, was seen on a lighter with a camera ready to take a snap shot at the noted little filibuster. —Times- Union. Band’s Steady Growth. The Marine Band bad a fine prac tice at the armory last night, nearly every member attending. Three new members have been admitted duriDg the last week, and the new uniforms are sxpected to arrive in a few days. With the increased membership, new uniforms and constant practice, the band is in~a fair way to regain tbe position once held by its predecessors, tbe Atlantic Band, as champions of the south. Closer to the Water. The offices of the Brunswick Ter- j minai company were moved day from the Oglethorpe bank build ing to the new warehouse on the Plant J System wharf. Capt. Churchill will* hereafter be located on the second floor of this building. The Terminal company has a number of steamers chartered, which are now due to ar- I rive.
