SATU RDAY EVENING, JULY 26.1890. ’ CORONER'S JURY I ■ - Investigates the Congress Street Catastrophe in Savannah. C Lockline Came to His Death by the Collapse of the Building Caused by an Explosion—What Was the Explosive? | • Savannah, G a., July 26.—[Special] - —lt was about 11 o'clock yesterday morning when the last proof of the fact that it was an explosion that wrecked the building was discovered I jby those engaged in clearing away the little remaining debris. 1 It was indisputable evidence. Twelve feet from where the front door had been, i:>. a spot where once ' a closet under the stairs leading to the upper story, two blackened pieces I of flooring were found. The wood i ' had been burned and singed over a I I diameter of fifteen inches. In the flirt between the floor rafters, and 1 but an inch or two from the b.iards were found pieces of a large bottle. ! f Attached to it were pieces of browr , paper. To the mouth of the bottle. ] which was about two inches in dia- i ‘ meter, was suspended a large ragged 1 piece of paper It had been torn in . j all directions by the force of the ex ( plosion that shattered the bottle and , wrecked the house. i The bottle was of light green glass 1 2 and apparently one of the largest ' sizes of the style in which pickles , are placed on the market. For ecv eral feet around man)’ pieces of the i glass were seen. A little further search Brought to light four rats. Tlie hair of each one was badly scorched. Then a lot of pieces of brick were discover- - cd—a couple of ilozen or more—tell ing by their thoroughly blackened surface that gome substance had ex ploded near them. Experts said that it was not gunpowder and ' • while there was a peculiar odor at- 1 tached to them, no one was prepared ' to even surmise what it indicated. A few shreds what looked like gun cotton were also picked up. These along with the paper and the pieces of glass, will be carefully examined by a chemist, in order to detect, if possible, the nature of the contents i of the bottle. It could not have been gunpow- ■ aer. Such a bottle would not have . 1 < , held enough of that to bring down i f a large, firmly builtsti ucture. Some • have simui-sted nitroglvceriue;others ' , i dynamitet Whatever the agency ( was, it was c< rtainlv possessed of :i , ivomL-rfu ly destructive power. > The coroner’s investigation ended I last ni,hi. I'he verdict of the jury I J ( ; in the inq ust over the body of Mat ( L exliue wa< reached at 7 o'clock ( " , an 1 was as f-.llow-: We..toe jury, lit, 1 that Mat Lock- , line nine to his deith by the col- j lap e of the building No. 203 Con- ; gress st.vet. caused by an explosion L or other agency unknown to us. The verdict was signed by Lester Hubbell, foreman; V. S. Studer, Ed. A. Marcus, T. B. Marshal, B. Goode, John O. Smith, John A. Sullivan, i. i JohnG. Grayson, M. T. Quinan, T. J. Naughtin and George W. Drum inond. George Maxwell, the neuro cook, who had threatened to be revenged ' , upon the Bullaids for his discharge from service, and was arrested on , suspicion of having been connected with the explosion, was released from the barracks jail immediately after 1 the verdict was reached, by order of 1 J i the coroner. So far as can be learned the ofH-1 ( “ eial investigation is at an end and nothing has yet been established ex | ( cept that the disaster was the result' of an explosion. What the expies ive agency was, whether it wasplac- . ed in the building by some one and;' i for what up>tiye,are much a mystery ' as the looming after the fatal cata strophe. i , i At the Baptist Church.

Through the hotel corridors, in the offices, the stores and on the street corners, the comments given in The Evening Post were read and discussed. There were opinions pro and con. But the preponderance of opinion seemed' to condemn the boycott The Boad of Trade met yesterday evening to take action on the ques tion. There were, however, only a few members present, so a committee of five, with’ Mr. M. Ullman as chair man, were appointed to draft resolu lions and report at a meeting at noon to-day. At 12 o'clock quite a representa five body of Brunswick business men met in the chamber, and the fol lowing resolutions were submitted: To the Board of Trade of Bruns wick : Your committee, to wit: M. Ull man, M. J. Colson, J. S. Wright, W. B. Burroughs, and W. F. Blois, all southern men and all democrats, ap pointed to draft resolutions in relation to rtent utterances in the newspapers of the state in relation to I oycotting the north in the event of the passage of the force bill, offer the following resolu’.ions for passi.ge by the Board of Trade as a body of business men composed of democrats and republi cans, and which in our judge’ment would be equally appropriated were cverv membei a southern democrat. Whereas, Newspaper utterances leave appeared in this state favoring boycotting the north in the event of the p ssage by congress of the elec tion law, popularly known as the •‘force bill,” and “Wheiieas, The Board of Trade of Brunswick has unanimously adopted a series of dignified resolutions in the nature of n protest against tire passage of the force bill, said resolu tion containing reasons, in thejmlg inent of this board, why the passage of said bill would lie most unf iriun ate to the interests of the while country, ••Resolved, That reiteratiuj ami reaffirming every word of the resolu tion passe l bv this board: -is body of business men deeply interested in the commercial interests of our city, state and country, we protest with some e.irnestness against any attempt at boycotting business of any section of this country, as being im practicable, unwise and calculated, if attempted, to do as much harm to the business iuteres s of the country as all forced or unreasonable meas ures could do. ••Resolved, That whatever politi cians may do, either north or south, it is the earnest belief of the board that the great mass of the people of each section are animated by kin llv sentiments toward each other, and that the sober second thought of the people of this country may be relied on in all emergencies to remedy evils, redress wrongs, and repeal ill considered and unwise legislation.” The next resolution required the secretary to furnish the resolutions to the members of congress aad the Senate, and to the newspapers for publication. After a few conservative remarks by several members the resolutions were unanimously adopted by a ris ing vote. Brunswick condemns the boycott. Monthly Shoot. The Glynn gun club held their monthly shoot at their grounds on yesterday evening. Quite a number of the members were present, and a fine score made. Mr. J. E. Du Big non made the highest score, and won the monthly medal. We have just received a very large essortment of ladies’ and gentlemens’ silk umbrellas, and offer the same at very reasona ble prices, J. J. Lissner & Co. Silver leaf lard pure and white, at W. A.

'I He Leaves Brunswick as Sud denly as he Came. i B Public Indignation Aroused—Neg -1 legence of the Proper Officials. 1 What M r. Campbell has to Say No Excuse. • “It's a blanket}’ blanked outrage.” That’s what people think and ■ what.'i good many say in regard to . the departure of Mr. IL Minehnn. i Not that they eared particularly ' about seeing Minehan locked up, but. that they did not like the negligence of the officers of the law. When one i pays taxes to provide for proper ad ministration of justice one dislikes to see such carelessness. i Thursday morning, as every one knows now, G. 11. Minehan, who es : cap d from jail last November with a number of other prisoners, arrived in the city. He came to the city openly without any attempt at con • ecalment and remained in it nearly two days. He took in the town, saw all of his old friends, had a good time general i ly and disappeared last night. 1 Fo doubt Minehan came to Bruns ' wick with the intention of giving himself up to the proper authorities i but he was, possibly, persuaded out -of the notion. ’ At any rate lie’s gone. A Post reporter investigated the I matter (his morning, and foun I that - Minehnn had really left thi# city. I’ But the published reports as to the manner of his leaving are erroneous. Mr. J. G. Campbell, bookkeeper [■ at J. IL Minehan’s stable says that the published account as t > his drii ing G. 11. Minehan out of to vu f->r six miles, is false and without anv foundation in fact whatever. , Mr. ('ampbell didn t like the re port a bit. He says that the last time he saw Mineliau he was just as he was get ting on a street ear near the council f chamber about II o'clock Thursday, i Some of the officers of the law > have been very remiss in their duties and it is strange that in a city so . well policed as Brunswick is that a . criminal should be allowed to pub , liclv and without any effort at con ' cealment be allowed to visit a town wl «r : he is badly wanted and then leave it without hindrance. It is a stigma on the police force that will take a long time to efface. Unfortunately Glynn county's chief executive, Sheriff Berrie wa out of the city when Minelian was so publicly taking in the city. Had he been here Mr. Minehan would be occupying a cell at this moment. Said the Sheriff this morning: “Had 1 been here I would have ar rested Minehan the moment 1 saw him and I would never have lost sight of him afterwards, until he w as locked up. If he desired to visit his mother I shc.uld have gone wit) hiiu there or anywhere else he wished to go, but lie should not have escaped me.” Nearly everybody in the citi is in dignant. And they have a right to lie for the officers of the law have been neg ligeut to a criminal degree. But. all the same, Minehun's gone and there's no use crying over spilt milk. The only thing to do n-iw i i to get him. That probably is a difficult thing to do at this stage of the game, but to recover the public confidence the officers will have it to accomplish. (’an it be done? That remains to be seen. For Kent.

GLYNN COUNTY POLITICS. * What Post Reporters Hear as They Circuliffe Among the Voters. As ®i politics. During the past week much inter est has been manifested in the ap proaching primary election. Mayor Spears, through his sup porters, has announced that he is not subject to the primary. In con versing with a Post reporter a few days ago Mayor Spears said : “A primary election, held under ' the rules adopted bp the Democratic ’ Executive Committee, will be a farce. According to those rules a man's vote can be thiown out by the 1 committee if he dunces’to belong to any organization save that of the democracy.” "What does ‘hat clause mean?” in- ' quired the reporter. “It means that the vote of a demo crat can be thrown out if he belongs to the Knights ot Labor, Knights of 1 Pythias oi any oilier organization. ' It can even include membership in ‘ the various churches. “Then you are to run only in the 1 ’ general election?” “That’s the only course left me. I - I don’t care about entering a farcical primary when I will beccunted out. 1 I shall only submit my claims to the people at large.” 1 ; Thus it is that the race in the pri- ' 1 inary is betveen Hon. J. E. Dart 1 1 and Mr. Harry F. Dunwody. The election occurs next Tuesday and ' each candidate is confident of vic tory. One of the most enthusiastic I democrats in Brunswick said to a Post reporter this morning: “In the election next Tuesday 1 ■ Dart or Dunwod y will be nominated. I I don’t care a I*ll of beans who polls ‘ ' the majority, but after I'ie primary ' I'm going to roll up my sleeves and 1 work like a Trojan against i ny inde- ' pendent. ' - - - More Phosphate Finds. Mr. W. W. King, the genial junior of the lii mos Howard & King has © just .returned to the city after ay ex- I tensive prospecting tour through Charlton and uamden counties. Mr. King was looking for phos s ph ales. , And he found tfiem. He brought back with him num- 1 o erous line samples of phosphate, some of w hich will analyze as high as j eighty per cent. Mr. King is entliusiasti.c over bis finds and believes that be has found , a portion of the vein of phosphate which Professor Riley said, years , ago, ran parallel with this coast. What Is Up. ' Somebody in thf neighborhood of Brunswick bad belter look sharp. One of the sharpest and most ex perienced detectives in the Pinker- ( ton scr’ ice has be<>n nosing around ' the city since Wednesday morning. To a Post reporter, who recognized e him, he stated that he was on busi- i ness, and in answer to queries replied that it might be the shovers r ' of those counterfeit |2 bills, or it t might be something else. v What is up? Have you been da- t ing anything? Tho Court Martial Trial. c she court martial trial of Private ‘ Paul Castellanos, of the Light Horse 8 Guards.wasioncluded at 6:30 o’clock 8 yesterday afternoon. According to * the regulations respecting the organ ization the decision cannot be made c public until it has been referred to o Col. W. W. Gordon. The Post bad 1 sufficient information from Lieut, t A. S. Way last night to furnish the a result of the trial, but it would be abusing a confidence.

Isaiah Minnefield Dangerously Wounded by Candus Gardus. Oglethorpe Street the -cene cf Another Shooting Match- Gam ing the Cause of the trouble Th reel Wounds. * Another shooting match! About 2 o’clock Candus G.irdus shot and seriously wounded Isaiah Minnefield. Both are colored. Gaming brought about the affair and, primarily, a game in which tl.e parties took part last night in Frank Pollard's saloon was the ca is? of the tragedy. They had words last night over the game and this morning bad blood a.id mean whisky hastened the matter. About l.alf past one Minnifield went to Gilbert Williams’ bar on Grant street and telling him that Pollard wished to buy it, secured a pistol. Gilbert Williams started with Minnifield to Pollard’s bar, so as to get the money for the weapon. When Goldens restaurant was reach ed Minnefield tried to evade Wil liams but the latter took the pistol away before he could do so. During a struggle for the pistol Gardus was seen approaching and Minnefield run into the restaurant pursued by him.

The Light Horse Guards were in spected last night, at the armory, by Capt. G. B. Prichard, of the Geor gia Hussars. There was a full at tendance and the inspection was sat isfactory to the officers and men. A most unfortunate error crept into I'he Post’s article yesterday with reference to the return of G. H. Minehan, the alleged murderer of a negro named Charlie Brown. The initials “J. R.” were should have been “G. II.” Os course, all old citizens understood that it was air ei ror.
