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.

I 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. Lexington, Ky.. Aug. 15--The following is a list of those injured in ' the collision on the Louisville and Nashville railroad near this place yesterday: L. L.

Woodward, engineer of the I pay car, scalded and burned. Will Southard, engineer of the ex press, fell under the engine—com pound fracture of the skull; will die. C. W. Soland, roadmaster, both ' legs cut of!J Judge Holt, of the Kentucky court of appeals, badly bruised. Wid Madden and Walter Birch, firemen, were both badly bruised e.bout the head. Many passengers were slightly bruised, but no one was killed out right, as at first reported. GORDON INDORSED. LaGrange, Ga., Aug. 15.—At the session of the Agricultural Society to day Col. J. O. Waddell, of Cedar town, was, on motion of Col. Park, of Macon, elected president by’ ac clamation. Col. S. D. Bradwell, of Liberty county, was elected first vice president by acclamation. 11. W. Jamison, of Macon, was elected secretary. A resolution was unanimously adopted indorsing Gov. Gornon for United States senator. A resolution asking the legislature to appropriate sufficient money for six months of public schools was adopted. 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.

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. , —' "111 ♦ - | A New Store. Mr. J. T.

Released From Custody. 1 Yesterday evening the case 1 against Pompey Severns was called : in Judge 'Joker’s court. Pompey ’ was charged with shooting at Paul Capers in DeLorni and Peters saloon I on Bry street last week.

ADRIFT AT SEA; »’ _____ 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.

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.
