STENOGRAPHERS MEET.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night
at the Y. M. C. A. Parlors.
Last night at 8 o’clock nearly all
tho prominent stenographers in the
city had gathered at the Y. SI. C. A.
• parlors for the purpose of organizing
a shorthand association.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr. D. W. Krauss who stated the
objects of the meeting.
Several notes regreting their in
ability to attend the meeting was
received from stenographers and
read. It was then decided to post
pone the election of officers until the
next meeting night.
Mr. Geo. W. Kirby, Jr., was then
called on for a speech. He respon
ded iu his usual happy style.
Mr. R. A. Mingle followed Mr.
Kirby with a. very sensible talk on
bow to make the association prove
benificial to the members.”
The meeting then ajourned until
next Thursday night at 8 o’clock.
It is earnestly desired that every
stenographer in the city attend this
meeting.
The Medical Society.
The Brunswick Medical Society
bail its regular meeting last night
night.
“Pneunmonia” was the subject to
be discussed. Dr. A. A. Rowland
led in the debate with a very fine
talk. He discussed the remote cau
ses that brought on the disease, the
active causes and its treatment. He
was very’ highly complimented at
the conclusion of the speech by the
society.
The objects of the society are very
laudable and deserve the endorse
. ment of every one.

GAIN OF FIFTY PER CENT.
Brunswick’s Soda Water Fountains
Doing an Enormous Business.
The sales of soda water in Bruns
wick up to the present time, are esti
mated to be almost equal to the en
tire sales of the season of 1889. As
the presant season has at least six
weeks to run, it will be readily seen
that the sales must be at least 50 per
cent, greater than they were last
year.
This is about the sum and subs
tance of what a Post reporter learned
to-day by inquiries at a large num
berof the establishments where these
favorite summer are dis
pensed. All of the popular fountains
were included.
At one of them the reporter was
told that fully twice as many glasses
of foaming mixtures had been drank
there since May than were called for
during all of last season. The total
was not a small number, either, the
proprietor figuring it out as over
30,000. In other words, that one
fountain has taken in $1,500 since
May 1, an average of nearly sls a
day. Os this the profits must have
been 50 per cent., or $7.50 per day,
putting the snug sum of $750 so far
this season in the owner’s purse.
There is no calculating exactly
how many glasses of these drinks
are required to relieve the throat's
of hot, thisty Brunswickians during
the course of the warm months. The
fountain whose figures are given did
an exceptional business, but all of
the others report an increase in sales
to date, ranging from 25 to 75 per
cent. There are several places
where the sales range between 10,000
and 20,000 glasses. As the foun
tains are run in conjunction either
with the drug business or something
else, the profits are a clear addition
to the earnings of the store. One
druggist, and he does a big business
as a druggist, too, says that the soda
water fountain, while the rush is on,
beats the pharmacy part his es
tablishment ail to pieces.

The Backbone of the Central
Strike Shattered.
Married Only One Day—An Augusta
Girl Skips Out—The Grand
Army of the Republic at
Boston, Etc.
Annapolis, Aug, 13.—C. M. Dai
ley, bridegroom of only one day, was
buried here to-day. He was married
Saturday and died Sunday afternoon.
He had been sinking for weeks from
consumption. A marriage license
was issued in the clerk’s oftice in
Annapolis Saturday to C. M. Dailey
and Miss Marcella Courtney, both of
Baltimore. The couple was after
wards married at the residence of
Miss Courtney, on Hanover street,
Annapolis, the ceremony having
been performed at the bedside of the
groom. Mr. Dailey had been em
ployed for a number of years as
bookkeeper for R. Courtney’ & Co.,
and later acted in the same capacity
for Mr. Courtney’s sister, whom he
married on his deathbed.
AN AUGUSTA GIRL RUNS OFF-
Augusta, Aug. 13.—Last Wednes
day morning Miss Alice Harrison, a
beautiful young bruenette only 11
years old, who lived with her wid
owed mother on the corner of Mar.
ket and mills streets, was decoyed
from home. Mrs. Harrison has not
seen her husband since she left home
.but the girl was seen by a* police
man to take the train for Charleston
yesterday morning. Miss Harrison
is a beauty. She is a brunette, with
light early hair, of slender figure,
and of medium height. She has a
scar under her left eye, which has
slightly contracted the lid, and the
middle finger of her right hand is off.
THE CENTRAL STRIKE SHATTER '!».
New York, Aug. 13.—Although
the strike on the New York Central
railroad has not been declared olf by
the Knights of Labor, it is virtually
at an end. The decision of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin
eers in refusing to come out was its
death knell. About the Grand Cen
tral depot this morning everything
was quiet, and trains were being dis
patched with perfect regularity.
The police were about as strong
as ever, but there was apparently no
necessity for them to be there. .
A TRIBUTE TO NEWMAN.
London, Aug. 13.—The Times
says: A great man has passed away.
Cardinal Newman is the last of his
generation, and the memory’ of his
pure and noble life, untouched by
worldliness, unsoured by any trace
of fanaticism, will endure, and,
whether Rome canonizes {him or iF>t,
he will be canonized in the thoughts
of the pious people of many creeds.
In England the saint and poet in
him will survive.
THE G. A. IL AT BOSTON.
Boston, Aug. 13.—Had the weath
er been made to order for tiie veter
ans the conditions could hardly have
been more favorable for the G. A. R.
demonstration to day than they are
at this writing. The sun is entirely
obscured while a.brisk northwest
wind holds flags straight out from
their masts. <

FOR ELEVEN LONG YEARS.
The Whereabouts ot Carter Thornton
WoreShorouded In Mystery.
For eleven years the whereabouts
of Carter Thornton, a well known
young man, who formerly worked
with the Brunswick and Albany rail
aoad and who resided in Brunswick
were a mystery. Nearly a dozen
years ago the young man went to
Chicago, and after that all trace of
him was lost.
On Monday aft< rn ton his co
George Huntly, who lives in Way
cross, received a letter fora him. The
story tell of his adventures since his
disappcarncc from this section are
of thrilling interest, and would make
the foundation for an exciting
novel.
According to his own statement
after leaving Chicago he concluded
to take a trip to England. Arriving
there he secured a position on a rail
road,but soon after lost it. Then he
vent to Scotland, and no demand
there for trainmen he shipped as fire
man on a steamer bound for the Med
itcranean. A great storm coming
up they were blown down on the
western coast of Africa and wrecked,
Thornton with a few of the sailors
managed the life boat and after be
ing nearly drowned they succeeded
in making a landing near Cape Lopez
in Lower Guinea, about 500 miles
south of the Congo river. They
found it to be a wild country inhabi
tetl only by half naked natives. The
natives however treated them kindly
and assisted them in making their
way through the Congo mountains,
toward Cape Colony For s>x
months they journeyed over the
mountains and through the marsh
lands and deserts subjected to fright
ful privations.
Tiie writer dues not give a detailed
account of tiie trip but goes on to
state in a general way how they
swain l ivers, ran fearful risks among
the savp.ges, killed wild beasts r.nd
frequently came near loosing their
own lives. At length they crossed
the Snow mountains and found them
selves at Cape Town. On tiie way
t hey frequently heard of Stanley from
nations who had come from tiie Up
per Congo. After this Thornton
shipped to New York when he re
ceived a position on the war vessel
Pensacola. Until this letter was re
ceived the young mau,s relations in
Waycross had mourned him as dead.
Our Dens of Vice.
A prominent city otiicial said to a
Post reporter to-day that over half
tiie cases of disorderly conduct that
came before tiie police court emina
ted from the “Hell Dens’’ belonging
to Pollard and another notorious ne
gro named Neal.
-More lawless acts are committed
in their grog shops than in every
other slum of vice in the city of
Bru tiswick.
What regulations do you think are
necessary, was asked him?
He replied:
“In the first place, the license of
both these worthless negroes should
be revoked ;then the council should
pass such laws as would make it im
p -ible for such negroes as Pollard
t n < \ *:il to secure license to do bus
i 10'S w itb.
i
“For instance, if a law was passed
restricting the running of bar rooms,
except on certain streets, and as a
■. ’ *
requisite b Tore :i man could secure (
a license, be be compelled to present (
along with his petition a certificate
of good character signed by at least
fifty substantial and law abiding
freeholders, such worthless and no
torious characters would be unable
to secure a license.
“Then to, they should be compelled
to take down their screens, blinds
and painted windows and run their
bars on the ground floor so every
thing done could be seen from the
sidewalk. Thej' should also be com
pelled to open and close at 6 a. m.,
9p. in, respectively. When this is
done this reign of terror aud law
lessness will cease.”
The Excursionists.
A large excursion party arrived
in the city to-day from Tiftm, Brook
field, Enigma and Alapaha on the
Brunswick and Western railroi.i.

NEEDING MONEY.
Census Enumerators Have Not
Been Remunerated.
They Think Uncle Sam is Poor Pay-
Is tho Treasury €>eplete?-Su
perviser Beckets Office
overrun.-The Reports.
The filthy lucre that they looked
for hasn’t come.
1 hat is to say the census eninner—
uois tor this district have not been
remunerated for their irksome labors
of several weeks past.
The fact is the enumerators have
come to the conclusion that Uncle
Sam is slow pay. And this fact
weighs heavily on their minds when
they consider the fact that Uncle
Sam’s pocket book is of a pathetic
nature.
Some are beginning to think and
suspect that the pension or
some other attack on the treasury,
has diminished the national assets
that Uncle Sam has fallen back on
the census appropriation, and that
they arc likely to be left high and
dry.
The delay is doubtless occasioned
by the slow auditing of accounts in
the big building at Washington,
over whose workings Robert Carter
is superintendent. Be this as it may
however, the enumerators are not
i. -ly disnpi ointod, but inclined to be
angry.
It is said that Supervisor Becket
receives numbers of communications
daily from his appointees throughout
the district. It is further stated
that some of the enumerators

and undoubtedly with a great deaNi
of justice, that they have been very
badly treated, and that the hand
kerchief over the eyes of justice had *
better be taken off temporarily, so
that she may see that they are not
being properly dealt with. When
the money does anive they will cer
tainly have earned it over again. If
the census bureau is run on busi
ness principles, there will be a little
interest thrown in as a soothing
balm.
Some of the enumerators need the
money badly. One of them said this
morning that although he had earn
ed over |SO, he might starve to death
before he received it. He and oth
ers seem to be in the unfortunate
condition of the author whose man
uscript has been accepted, payment
on publication. Two have passed by
since their work ended, and the cash
seems as far olf as when they turned
in their reports.
Although June 15 was the day set
for the completion of the census, the
reports are not all in yet. Mr. Beck
ett says that about fifteen enumera
tors in the country districts are to
be heard from. He expects their re
ports daily, and will be glad when
they are all in and his work finish
