Hopeful of Success of Fight for Sea Island Cotton in the Senate. BACON AND CLAY WILL HELP. The Congressman Comes Home to Con duct the Prosecution in a Murder Case, and is Looking Well. Hon. W. G. Brantley, congressman from the Eleventh district, was at home yesterday from his first period of service in the national legislature. The house has finished its principal work—the tariff bill—and is recessing from day to day, pending the senate’s action. Mr. Brantley took advantage of the recess this week to come to Brunswick for the purpose of attend ing to legal business of an important nature. He will go to Charlton superior court, which convenes today, to con duct the prosecution of Black for the murder of Higginbotham in that county. He will also argue the Down ing company’s insurance suits before Col. Owens Johnson, the master in the caee, before he returns to Washing ton. Speaking to a Times man about the tariff bill, Congressman Brantler said : “In my opinion the Diugley bill will be found quite a different document when it comes out of the senate. Many changes are to be made in its provisions by the upper house. The fact that only nineteen pages of the bill were ever read in the bouse gave little opportunity for amendment. Th# cotton schedule was never reached, and, consequently, our sea island cot ton fight had small chance of a good result. “We are all hopeful, however, of se curing the Egyptian cotton tax amend ment in the senate. Senators Bacon and Clay will personally lead the ef fort to secure it. “The house,” continued Mr. Brant ley, is in the attitude, just now, of having nothing to do. Speaker Reed’s plan is to leave the house unoccupied as much as possible, in order to focus tbe public attention on the senate and its dealings with tbe Dingley bill.” Mr. Brantley is undecided as to when be will return to Washington. He is looking well and tbe congres sional atmosphere evidently agrees with him. TWO TWOMEYS. A Brunswick Man About to Discover a Long Lost Uncle.

L - *l - uuu to uic pupuiai abtacuc ui cue local custom house, and Jeremiah is chief engineer of the steamship Heathfield. Each is confident that tlie other is a long lost relative.

When they run up againateaeh other the sequel to this story can be written. Grand Opening Of spring millinery and pattern hats selected by the best artists of New York.

But ihe Dwellers on Latham’s Ham mock Carried Off Everything Else. Latham’s Hammock is a small island rising from tbe marsh, just west of Jekyl. It is the property of the estate of E. J. Allen, and was at one time fa mous as the abiding place of “Old Man” Morns, who founded a Mormon colony there. After Morris’ departure Mr. Allen established a white man, Ed Williams, aDd a German known as Georgeon the island. They were to raise a crop and divide tbe proceeds with the owner. Williams had a wife and four young children, and in the only Louse on the Hammock —a patchwork structure, standing on the bluff —they made their home and proceeded to occupy the lonely place. Yesterday news was brought to the oity by a colored fisherman of the evacuation of the island by the set tlers. They took with them two boats, a horse, three cows, a few bogs, a large lot of farming implements, and even some of the timbers of tbe house. All of these things belonged to the Alien estate, Williams and his people left nothing but a part of the house and the island itself. Deputy Sheriff Taylor is at work on the case. He thinks the deserters have gone to Fernandina. Tbe fisherman says they showed much ingenuity in preparing the horse and the other animals for transportation in sail boats. It the men are found they will have to answer charges of horse-stealing, cattle-stealing, bog-stealing and lar ceny after trust. ALONG THE BAY. Items of Shipping Interest and Other Harbor News.
