A Little Work During Your Leisure Hours May Win a Bicycle for You. The Times’ Offer Should Be Carefully Read.
STRIKERS WAITING
FOR MONDAY’S DAWN.
The Problem May Be Solved
By Tomorrow's
Events.
IMPORTED GAMS TO BE WORKED.
Churchill May Send One Steamer to Charles
ton--Merchants Felt Effects of
Strike Last Night
I
The strike problem awaits theevents
of Monday for its solution.
Although nothing definite can be
learned, it can be stated with all the
semi-ollicial authority that a news
paper is privileged to exercise that at ■
least 200 imported laborers will be
brought to the city Monday and put to
work on the wharves of the Mallory
line and the Johnson line.
What will be the result of the im
portation of laborers cannot be fore
casted. The strikers have repeatedly
asserted their disinclination to make
any law'ess demonstrations., but there
seems to be a hidden feeling which
does not show on the surface. At any
rate, the police authorities will be
fully prepared for whatever may hap
pen on Monday, and the local military
companies will be in readiness tor
service if called upon.
Yesterday was a quiet day with the
strikers. They continued their all
day meeting at Odd Fellows’ hall and
had speeches and songs galore.
Last night the merchants felt for
the first time the serious effeots of the
strike. There was a diminution of
practically one-half in the volume of
colored trade. The striking negroes
donned their best attire and prom
enaded the streets in the afternoon
before the rain. Nearly all of them
carried sticks, and there was an air of
surly independence about them that
didn’t comport with their declarations
of peace.
Along the wharves it was the usual
spectacle of short gangs and slow
work. The Mallory line agents ob
tained a permit from Acting Mayor
Fendig for carrying on the work of
loading today and the steamship will
probably be ready to sail about noon.
She will complete her cargo at Port
Royal.
Captain Cburcbill found himself
yesterday with another steamship on
hand. The Irene, 2,474 tons, arrived
yesterday morning from Shields for a
cargo of cotton and phosphate. It lias
been found impossible to attend to the
two steamships already on hand, and
it is said that Captain Churchill will
order the Irene to Charleston for her
cargo. If this is done, three or four
thousand dollars can be cbaged up in
a lump to the loss account resulting
from the strike.
There is no parade or public demon
stration of the strikers yesterday.
The police had forbidden it.

SWEEPING CHANGES.
The Board Will Recommend Them For the
Naval Academy.
Washington, Sept, 18. —In a few days
the representatives on the board of
visitors for the naval academy will
make a report in which they will rec
ommend a change in the curriculum
and in the rules of the academy. It is
recommended that candidates Tor ad
mission shall be nominated in Septem
ber and enter the academy the follow
ing May, or five months ahead of the
customary date, October I. This will
give the cadets five-months more of
study. It is proposed that they shall
be examined at the naval stations
nearest their homes instead of at An
napolis, this examination to show
knowledge of naval history, the lives
of naval officers of note and include
the technical description of the battle
ships.
It is proposed to abolish the two
years cruise, which at present is re
quired of all cadets before they are
given the rank of ensign. If congress
adopts the recommendations the term
‘cadet” will badropped and “midship
man” will take its place, and at the
end of four years he will be an “en
sign” with authority to go on his first
cruise as a full-fledged member of the
navy.
THE FISH FEAST.
Unique Custom of the Cherokee Strip In
dians.
biloam Springs, Ark., Sept. 18.—In
dians from ali parts of the Cherokee
Strip have been gathering for several
days on the Illinois river at a point
eight miles southwest of here, for their
annual fish poisoning.
Each Indian brings one bushel of
buckeye roots, which, after pulveriz
ing, they put in gunnysacks and place
in the river. A juice is formed by the
water washing through the roots,
which kills or intoxicates thousands
of fish for miles below, after which
they are easily taken with gigs, spears
and by hand, being thrown into canoes
and then taken by tbe squaws, cleaned
and cooked.
The feast lasts as long as the fisb
hold out, and tbe Indians make merry
with their queer games and dances
which are always witnessed by large
crowds of white people.
HUMANE SOCIETY NOTE.

Side.

negro, was arrested yesterday by Po
lice Officer Frank Grace on the charge
of cruelty to animals.

cer by a gentleman who noticed that

V

Places on the mule’s side showed that
three times a pitchfork that was on
the wagon had been driven into the
mule’s side. The negro said the places
were made by tbe whip and owned up
to whipping the mule unmercifully,
not thinking he bad done anything
wrong. The recorder lined tbe brute

BRUNSWICK TAKES
MORE PRECAUTIONS.
Next to Impossible for Any One to
Pass the Cordon Surround
ing the City Now.
ONE NEW GUARD NOW ON DUTY.
Inspectors Must Ride on Trains—New and
More Rigid Form of Certificate.
Must Be Described.
The rapid spread of yellow fever in
New Orleans and along the Gulf coast,
which was told in the n<*ws-dispatches
yesterday, caused the local health offi

kDo ¥ ou W ai?t ot Biegele?
Now is the time to go to work for
that bicycle.
The offer is open to all.
Remember it will be a high-grade,
’9B model, SIOO wheel—no cheap de
vice to deceive tbe contestants.
Here’s the plan : 1
Tbe person bringing in the largest
number of paid subscriptions to The
Times between now and December 24,
1597, will be awarded a bicycle, such
as the one described above.
The person bringing in the second
largest number will get a costly prize,
to be announced later; so will the
third.
By paid subscriptions are meant ?
those which are accompanied by the
cash. Credit subscriptions will not
be counted.
Paid subscriptions may be for any
length of time. A subscription for
one month, with 50 cents, will entitle
system much more rigid. One extra
guard was put on duty. The form of
certificate was changed. It will re
quire the keenest cunning to get
into this city now without a proper
passport.
Acting Mayor Fendig notified In
spectors Way, at Waycross, and Nuss
baum, at Everett City, that they must
hereafter go on all trains from their
posts to the six-mile crossing, so as to
allow no possible chance of passing on
the part of passengers without certifi
cates. These guards will go on the
trains to the crossing, and return on
the next one to their posts. This will
keep the inspectors traveling nearly
all of the time, but will enable them
to be much more thorough in their ser
vice. Inspector Pittman, who bas
charge at the six-mile crossing, was
instructed to keep a lookout for
tramps coming toward Brunswick
through the woods.
J.T. Headley was appointed and
placed on duty as inspector on board
the Cumberland Route steamer Gov
ernor Safford, which makes a run be
tween Brunswick and Fernandina
every day.
A telephone was placed at tbe six
mile crossing, so that tbe iuspectors
can communicate with the city with
out having to come in themselves.
Acting Mayor Fendig yesterday
gave authority to Chairman Hugh
Burford, and Secretary A. V. Wood,
of the board of health, to issue certifi
cates of health, in addition to City
Clerk Bodet, who alone has bad au
thority heretofore. Parties can se
cure the certificates from these gentle
men during regular business hours.
In accordance with the regula
tions of other towns and cities, the
form of the certificate issued to par
ties going out of Brunswick has been
changed, and now includes a full de
scription of the bearer, giving height,
weight, color of eyes and hair, com
plexion and race. All certificates
must bear the signatures of the mayor
and city clerk.

BRANTLEY AND CLAY.
The Gossips Wondered What They Were
Doing Together.
Yesterday’s Constitution says : Con
gressman Brantley, of the eleventh
district, came up from Brunswick yes
terday morning, spent the day here
and went back last night. He de
clared that bis visit bad no politcal
significance whatever; that he came
up simply from force of habit, and that
his mingling with the politicians
about the'hotel corridors was but a
coincidence.
Senator Clay was one of those with
whom he conferred.
The senator came down from Mari
etta on legal business and was here a
few hours. Senator Clay is looking
remarkably well. He has been in
Cherokee at court during tbe past
week, mixing with his north Georgia
constituents.
Congressman Brantley thinks that
the trouble between tbe division of
naval reserves has blown over. He
looks upon the proposal to remove the
monitor Passaic from Brunswick as
absurd, and does not regard tbe sug
gestion seriously. Since bis advent
to congress, Mr. Brantley has made a
remarkable record, and has shown up
material of the right kind.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
A Participant in the Famous Jameson Raid
Reaches the City and Talks.
E. M. Bauman, a young American
hailing from Illinois, reached the city
a few-days ago on the schooner Ella
M. Willey from Cape Town, South Af
rica, He is on his way back home and
talks interestingly of his career of
four years in the country around the
cape.
Bauman says he had to leave the
country because he took part n Jame
son’s raid on the Transvaal. He said
American citizens in that country
were subjected to all sorts of indigni
ties and that the consuls did not pre
tend or offer to give an American sub
ject any protection. He showed the
vacant spaces in his front rows of
teeth and said a crowd of British sol
diers had beaten him brutally and
knocked out his teeth. He made com
plaint to the United States consul, but
was given no satisfaction.
Bauman has a great pile of manu
script which he has written during
his absence for publication in this
country. He says Great Britain has
35,000 troops in South Africa and con
templates an attack on Johannesburg.

INDIGNATION IN COURT CIRCLES.
Once Entertained by the Sugar King in This
Country—ls in Love With a
Royal Widow,
Vienna, Sept. 18. —An official denial
has been issued here of the sensational
story published by certain Berlin
newspapers to the effect that Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, the heir ap
parent to the crown of Austria-Hun
gary, had been married in London last
week to a woman who formerly had
occupied either a menial or else an
equivocal position in the household of
Herr Krupp, the great German iron
master, and who is a native of Aix-la-
Chapelle.
The story has created the greatest
indignation, not only in court circles
here, but also among the general pub
lic, where it is regarded as a piece of
Prussian maliciousness.
The archduke spent some weeks in
the United States a few years ago in
the course of a trip around the world
and was entertained at a shooting
party by Mr. Havemeyer, the sugar
magnate of Nsw York.
It is officially declared here that the
Archduke has not only not been in
England since Queen Victoria’s jubi
lee, but also that he has not left Aus
tria since then. That he has enter
tained a romantic attachment for
some time past is no secret, and it is
well known that the object thereof is
his cousin’s widow, Crown Princess
Stephanie, King Leopold’s daughter,
whom, however, he is prevented
from marrying owing to the statute of
the imperial house of Hamburg, which
bars any prince in the direct line of
succession to the throne from wedding
a widow.

case will be certioraried to the superior
