THE BRUNSWICK TIMES. VOLUME 8, NO. 220. 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. Choice corn at Dillon’s. Birthday Party. Little Miss Winona Mumford Ilorne celebrated her fourth birthday very pleasantly yesterday afternoon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.J. N, Ilorne.

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.

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.

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. Cotton seed meal at Dillon’s. FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

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.
