Ex-Champion Must Whip Joe Before Boh
Gives Him a Chance.
San Francisco, May 10. lnform
ation reached the city last night which
points to the probability of a match
between Corbett and Cboynski. The
reason for Parson Davies’ mysterious
visit to the east is thus made apparent.

Corbett and Choynski to be fought in
this city this fall.
Davies took the trip in the interest
of the National Sporting olub.and the
oflicers of that organization have re
caived information that leads them to

BRUNSWICK, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 11, 1897.
BELL TELEPHONE
WINS THE BIG SHIT.
Supreme Court Decides That the
Patent Has Not Ex- N
pired.
CONTROLS TELEPHONE BUSINESS.
The Patent Was Delayed Thirteen Years, But
the Supreme Court Held That it Was
the Fault of the Government.
Washington, May 10.—The Bell Tel
ephone company won the case brought
against the United States to annul its
last Berliner patent. This decision
has the effect of continuing control of
the telephone by the Bell company for
seventeen years from date of the latest
patent, which was granted in 1895.
The government asked to have the
patent of 1895 set aside on the ground
that the delay of thirteen years in the
patent office was fraudulent and
through the fault of the telephone
company, and that the patent issued
in 1880 covered the same ground on
which the new patent was applied for
in 1891.
Thp court in its opinion, delivered
by Justice Brewer, held that there
was no evidence of corruption or un
due influence exercised over the pat
eut office by the telephone company
and that there was no evidence that
the delay in granting the parent had
been brought about, by the c’ompany.
It held that whatever delay there had
been was through the fault of the pat
ent office and by no fault of the com
pany.
Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion. Justices Gray and Brown
took no part in the case, presumably
because they were interested. The
court held that in order to set aside a
patent the government must establish
grounds of relief as clear and satisfac
tory as it would to set aside a land
patent.
All other allegations of the govern
ment besides I hat of delay were over
ruled. The decision by the supreme
court sustains the lower courts. The
case has attracted wide attention be
cause of the extensive interests in
volved in its settlement and the opin
ion of the court has been anxiously
awaited. The suit, it was claimed, in
volved the practical con’rol of the art
of telephoning.

BUGLE NOTES.
The Assembly Already Sounding for the St.
Simon Encampment.
Capt. R. E. Dart received a letter
yesterday from the colonel and lieu
tenant colonel of the Fourth regiment
saying they will do all they can to
make 1 he St. ‘ imon encampment a suc
cess.
The Albany Guards write that they
will come and bring thirty-five men.
The Valdosta Videttes will gladly come
and bring tbirty-tive. The Waycross
R'lUs promise to show up with from
25 to 35 and the Thomasville Guards
report that from 50 to 00 men are anx
ious to attend.
The time that seems to be most ta
vored by the commands is from July 7
to 14, and the encampment will likely
occur then.
Captain O'Brien, of tin Waycross
Rifles, has sent out letters to the com
missioned oflicers of the regiment in
viting them to be his guests in Way
cross next week for the purpose of
perfecting plans. The questions will
be decided Thursday, the 18th.
Captain Dart has sent a requisition
to Atlanta for 250 tents to be used by
the soldiers.
Manager Jack Clancey, of the St. Si
mon hotel, will do much to make the
encampment a grand success.
BEN~ HUR WAS GOOD.
The Illustrated Lecture at the Armory
Much Appreciated.
Prof. J. A. Rider accompanied a
highly interesting pictorial panorama
of Lew Wallace’s great Ben Htir with
an equally interesting lecture at the
Riflemen’s armory last night. The
entertainment was for the benefit of
the King’s Daughters.
The appreciation of the audience
was manifest as the various views
were thrown upon the screen. The
presentation of the great chariot race
was especially stirring, Prof. Rider’s
admirable recital of the text proving
a valuable accompaniment. The en
tertainment was in every way pure,
iustructive and elevating and de
served a much larger patronage than
it received.
A repetition of Ben Ilur in this city
would doubtless be met with a better
house.
CLOSE OF SCHOOLS..
Board Names the Day and Endorses Uni
form Text Books.
At a meeting of the board of educa
tion yesterday it was decided to close
the public schools for the summer va
cation on June 18.

Tonight’s Concert.
Brunswick magic lovers are on the
qui vive of delightful expectancy.
The great Marine band concert to
night is the cause. The program, as
published in yesterday’s Times, has
captured the people and they will turn
out in force to hear the feast of high
class music. The audience will be
large and brilliant, and Tim Times
feels sure that no one will be disap
pointed.
PRICE. FIVE CENTS.
COMMISSIONERS
GO TO CHARLOTTE.
The Administrators of County Af
fairs Will Inspect Milburn’s
Buildings.
TAKING UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS.
They Will Judge With Their Own Eyes of the
Architect’s Abilities and Discuss
Alterations.
Glynn’s county ommissioners are
not in the habit nr leaping before they
look. After givirg many days to the
sifting and assortment of the various
plans submitted for anew courthouse,
and finally selecting the plan sub
mitted by Frank P. Milburn, of Char
lotte, N. C., they were still unsatisfied,
and bad the architect to make a num
*
ber of alterations.
It seems, however, that the commis
sioners have still some lingering
doubts upon their minds; they are de
termined to get the very best building
for the money, and propose to go en
tirely by their ow n eyes.
Accordingly the three commission
ers, Messrs. James 8. Wright, E. F
Coney and H. 11. Harvey, left Sunday
night for Charlotte, N. C-, the home
of Architect Milburn. They go to in
spect, personally, a number of the
buildings which Mr. Milburn has
planned, in order to better judge of
his ability as an architect. They will
also discuss with him there certain
other alterations in his' present plans.
The commissioners are certainly
taking all due precautions to prevent
any trouble in the construction of the
much needed building.
The commissioners spent yesterday
in Charlotte, and will probably return
home today.
RIVAL FOR UNKNOWN.
The Marie, Strachan’s Pretty Yacht, Will
Probably Race Her.
At last the unexpected has happened
and a really formidable rival to the
invincible racing yacht Unknown has
appeared in Oglethorpe Bay.
Mr. F. D. M. Straclian, agent for the
Johnston Line, recently brought his
yacht Marie to Brunswick, and her
beautiful lines have excited much com
ment.
There is a good deal of talk between
the admirers and backers of the re
spective boats as to the merits of the
two racers.
A race for July 4 is propoied and it
will probably occur. Tins would be
the most exciting race here in years,
and a great deal of money would
change hands.
One of Them Back.
“Son” Farmer, who, with Will Dav
enport, left the city on a tramp steam
ship several months ago for a trip to
Europe, has returned home. He has
seen England, France and the larger
cities ot this country. Farmer left
Davenport at Fall River, Mass.,
whence he intends to come home
shortly.

tained the following friends at dinner
