MERCHANT’S PETITION.
The City Council For a More Rapid
Freight Delivery.
The following petition will be
presented to the council at its next
meeting. The full extent can be
gathered by a’careful perusal.
To -the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City of Brunswick:
Whereas, The late davastation of
property along the west side 'of Bay
street renders available for the pur
pose hereinafter set forth such part
of the street property lying between
Howe and Gloucester streets as have
been trespassed upon and used for
• platforms for the handling of naval
stores and other export freight to
the exclusion of local freight: and,
Whereas, The west side of said
street has enjoyed the privilege of
three side tracks with platforms; all
of which are in the street, while the
east side has none, and.
Whereas, The inconvenience, loss
of time and additional cost in the
receiving and discharging of height
now sustained by the wholesale and
retail merchants of east Bay street,
especially, and of the city at large,
renders a successful competition
with other points a matter almost
beyond control; and,
Whereas, It is to the interest of
the city of Brunswick that east Bay
street, because of its proximity to
both wharves and railway, and its
capacity for inexpensive handling
of freights, be made the centralizing
point for her rapidly increasing
wholesale business; and.
Whereas, It now lies within the
power of your honorable body to se
cure such a priceless boon to the
city and to her merchants;
Therefore, We. the undersigned,
merchants and citizens of the city
of Brunswick, do’most respectfully
petition your honorable body to
speedily enter ; nto such negotiations
with the oflicers of the railway com
panies now operating on said street,
an will secure for the aforesaid pur
pose, Urn caiUline of track now lying
along said street-, between the streets
aforesaid, together with such switch
es as will best facilitate a rapid and
essy delivery of freights to consin
ees.

Brutal Slave Trade Carried on
Under the Flag.
Horrible Stories From the South
Seas—Collision on the Louis
ville and Nashville—Goi—
don Indorsed-
London, Aug. 15.—Horrible ac
counts arc received of the slave labor
traffic by the plantprs in the South
seas. The Presbyterian mission
synod in New Hebrides has passed
resolutions to the effect that the
Kankake’s labor tralllc had to a
large extent depopulated New He
brides and adjoining islands, upset
family relations among the natives,
and has been and is the cause of
much sorrow, suffering and blood
shed.
A missionary named Paton reports
that he had himself seen white men
in their boats taking Kanakas to a
labor vessel, as slave ships are called,
forcibly and put them on board, and
when they tried to swim ashore they
were knocked down again and again,
until they lay stupefied on deck, and
were thus carried out to sea. Those
thought likely to escape .are fastened
with chains ou board. A chief was
shot dea<i by the crew of one of these
vessols while attempting to protect
his daughter, and a native Christian
preacher was also shot dead.
This slave trade is carried on
under the protection of the British
flag for the benefit of the planters in
. Greenland and the Fiji Islands.
EIGHT INJURED.

STRIKERS HOLD A MEETING.
Buffalo, Aug. 15.—The strikers
held a very enthusiastic joint meet
ing of switchmen, locomotive firemen
and knights of labor last night, and
judging from the boisterous cheering
that issued from the hall, they must
have been receiving some encour
aging information. The meeting
did not break up until midnight.
Maj. McCowan, of Syracuse, was one
of the speakers. He was seen after
the meeting, and he said that they
had assurances from outside knights
that they would go out, ami that in
side of a few days there would not
be a train running on the Central.

THE OCEANIC EXPOSITION.
What a Well Known Attorney Has to
Say About the Scheme.
1 The Oceanic exposition, men
tioned by The Pcst about a month
ago, has not ceased to be the absorb-
i ing topic among business and pro
fessional men.
As has already been state ! it is
propose! to bring St Simon’s further
to the front as a place of amusement
• and entertainment. This can be
• secured by laying out and putting
i into shape a race course one mile
i long near the center of the island.
I In addition to this, it is proposed to
i erect grand stan Is, stables an 1 club
. rooms of ample proportion. During
the month of May turftsinen bom all
parts of the country could come and
, contend for gold and glory.
The possibilities of such an enter
prise arc pleasant to anticipate! The
pleasure season would be at that
i time of year when noted stables
i from all parts of the country could
i be secured, and the magnificent
. climate of St. Simon’s would make
the most exhilarating sports pleas
ant and enjoyable. A leading attor
. ney, -while referring to this matter
I this moraing, Said:
! “I am heartily in favor of the pro-
I posed Oceanic exposition. 1 think it
i would be well to erect magnificent,
! ample exhibitj. n halls and invite the
; Glynn county fair to’ take hold and
i give an exhibition. The State Ag
ricultural Society, too, would be cx
i pected to hold a* spring state fair,
admitting the possibilities of exhibi
i tion never before given to this sec
tion. It would add thousands of
dollars to the cutlers of local business
interests. In fact every man, woman
and child in Brunswick would be
' benefitted by such an arrangement.’
It is ar well known fact that fair
in the fall are the golden harvests of
the year, but the green harvests, the
’ early spring products of South Geor
gia and Florida have no chance at
the fairs. This exhibition could take
’ place at St. Simon's during the
month of June and it would give the
® vast truck farming interests of the
state an opportunity for exhibition.
The state military encampment,
too, could find no better place nor
uuy better time for the annual en
campment than St. Simon's during
the oceanic expositi >n.
The Palace Wins the Day.
The Palace Saloon, R. Meyers &
) Son proprietors, was the center of
attraction to-day from 11 a. m., to 1
p. m. It was the occasion of 4jie
opening of the lunch department of
that popular refreshment resort, and
im.ny invited guests were present
to enj >y the festivities. The choic-
- est selection of substantial and dain
i' tics constituted the delicious viands
spread in the wine n.om and on the
. lunch counter. The spread was
- such as to tempt the most fastidious
I Epicure and was a winning card for
t the Palace saloon.

Messrs. Davis and Gress Were
, Capsized Last Night
- In Turtle Riverand Remained From 6
to 11 O'Ciock—They Drift to
, Opposite Shore and Es
cape a Water Grave.
t
. Yesterday evening about 4 o’clock
r Messrs. T. R. Gress and W. H. Davis,
> both of whom are connected with
I he Post, hired a boat and went out
,to Buzzard Roost to shoot marsh •
, hens. The strong winds and tide
were with them and they enjoved
their trip immeasurably. But alas!
How soon their joys were turned to
bitter woes.
They reached the roost but were
unable to land on solid ground. Re
moving their shoes, stockings, hats,
coats and vests, they went on the
island to enjoy the shooting. Game
was plentiful, and in thirty miautes
their twenty-five roundsofamunition
was exhausted, ?nd as many birds
were bugged. They returned to the
boat, with high hopes and joyful an
ticipation. The tide had begun to
fall but the wind was in the wrong
direction and blowing furiously while
the mad waves leaped and ran high,
very high. Nothing daunted, they
pushed on rapidly until a mile had
been passed over. They were now
in the middle of a raging current
and the rudderless vessel was rather
hard to manage.
The boat is known as the bycicle
vessel and is run ]>y a propeller.
The operator sits on a high seat and
runs the machine with his feet, Mj
Gress was running the machi
while Mr. Davis steered. In turn
the boat at this point it tilted t
left and the machine toppled 4
throwing Mr. Gress out. Thu J
ed the boat to dip and Mr.
jumped out thinking to prevei
boat from capsizing, but fa|
against them.

and culls were found to be more
5 dens’otne than beautiful but withal
f brave hearts they swam to the up- W
L turned boat and clung to its bottom.
? After drifting several hours they
r succeed in defining the marsh in the
] distance, and with courage and
t strength born of desperation began
. to swim and drag the boat to land.
Hits was the labor of about thirty
j minutes succeeded in reaching a
, footing where the water was only
, two or three feet deep. The boat
. was set aright and the water bailed
. and with thankful hearts they climb
ed into the ill fated craft and with gk
the lone oar which Mr. Davis clung
to with remarkable persistency, row
r ed back to the city. They reached
3 the Brunswick and Western docks
at 11:30 and through the kindness
fc of the watchman on board the Pope
Catlin warmed themselves and dried
f their clothes. Then they took up
E a monrnful march towards their
■ homes.
This morning they went shopping
before breakfast and made several
purchases in the way of shoes, hats
and clothes.
Os the trip, Mr. Davis says:—“l
I have been’in many close places, even
where I thought my life in danger,
I but I never had such a close call in
i my life before, and I hope I man nev
er have another.”
Mr. Gress says:—“l have about as
much salt water as I want. Mr.
Davis claims that I turned the boat
over, and I claim he did it. We
quarrelled over that point until I
grew so angry I never thought of the
danger.”
I It is quite probable they wont
care to go boating again soon.
