I (AIG Hl STEALING.
f Some merchants who would
I
scorn to steal outright, are do
ing it every day, in this way:
Mr. B will come in and want a
can of Johns'on sliced pineap
-1 pie. The merchant looks him
over and sees he is “one of
them,” and with an utter lack
of conscience, says 40 cents.
Sometimes he pays it; sometimes
lie don’t, especially if he is ac-
•
quainted with DILLON, who
only asks 30 cents, and then
makes a good profit on the same
identical goods.
* It is often asked me by the
merchants why I cut prices,
and all kinds of arguments are
used to induce me to quit it.
I am no cutter, I sell at a fair
profit and take no chances, and
have built, up a splendid busi
ness, and am to-day giving
more value for the money than
any other merchant in Bruns
wick. I have no time to bother
with the pay-day plan —or the
thief w'. o intends to pay part
and run his smooth hard cheek
lor th > other part.
1 want vour trade and I wi 1
on rm average save you from
$5 to sls a month on your
"rocery bill. Remember that I
keep every grade of goods from
the CHEAPEST to the
FINEST IMPORTED. 1 sell
them at only a close, sharp prof
it, and turn my money over and
over again, thereby making in
the aggregate a good profit.
To you who have not dealt with
me, come and try it once. To
my customers, remember I am
selling goods cheaper than ever.
If you think anyone else is
making a cut, ree me, I am be
low him in price.

McVicker's House in Chicago
Burned This Morning
The Loss About $125,000.—A Pretty
Young Wife Takes Too Much
Morphine.—Advices From
The Cholera.
Chicago, Aug. 27. —McVicker’s
theater was almost destroyed by lire
i at 4 o’clock this morning. The west
wall of the building reaching eight
stories in height, went down with a
terrific crash into the narrow alley.
John Duffy, a pipeman in Engine
Company No. 7, came down with the
debrias and landed fairly on his
head on the jagged pile of mortar
and brick, was fearfully mangled.
Duffy’s comrades on the roof barely
escaped with their lives. They heard
the wall cracking and ran to the cen
tre of the roof just as the great mass
went down. They subsequently es
caped to the streets by means of a
fire escape. The fire started in the
basement of Lithgo’s saloon in the
west half of the building, and
smouldered among a pile of straw
and liquors for nearly' an hour before
it was discovered.
W. Miller, a truckman, and
' another fireman were also injured,
but not fatally.
Fireman Duffy, who came down
with the falling wall, it is stated,
will 'recover.
The fire communicated to several
small hotel# in the immediate
vicinity, but did no serious damage.
The guests were panic stricken, but
all escaped in safety.
’ All the front offices of the building
received little damage, except by
water, The tenants will continue
to do business at their old stands.
Mr. McVicker is now at Saratoga.
His son and manager says the
theater will be rebuilt and reopened
inside of thirty days. The loss to
the theater and "building will not be
less than $125,000.
TOOK MORPHINE AND DI.ED.
, Montgomery, Ala , Aug. 27.—0 n
Saturday evening a railroad man
called at a lodging house in this
city with a beautiful young woman.
. whom he introduced as his wife, and
for whom he secured apartments for
a day or two, when he said she would
go on a visit to her mother.
Sunday morning the woman com
plained of suffering from a severe
sick headache, and the proprietor
of the lodging house did everything
, possible to alleviate her sickness,
which continued throughout Sunday
and yesterday. Late yesterday even
ing she sent a servant for 20 cents
worth of morphine with which to
ease her pain. Some of the ladies re
siding in the house sat up with the
sick woman until a late hour last
night, during which time she con
tinued to grieve over the headache,
and expressed sorrow that her hus
band was not with her. At 7 o’clock
this morning the servant who went
to her room found her in an uncon
scious condition, and a physician
was summoned but ihedied before
he could relieve her. A portion of
the morphine was still in the bottle
which she had in bed with her. It
is believed that in her anxiety to re
lieve her pain she took too large a
dose of the deadly drug.

Travel to St. Simon’s has grea'ly
decreased within the past two weeks.
, This, of course, is due to the ending
, of the pleasure season on the island.
There are still several cottagers over
there and some people contemplate
. living there all the year around.
The excursion of the Red Men to
morrow will draw an immense crowd
to St. Simon’s. The committee on
arrangements has adopted an excel
lent program for the day and all who
attend will thoroughly enjoy the oc
casion.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Col. E. C. Machen Has Big
Schemes on Foot.
Something About the Middle Geor
gia and Atlantic.-A Direct Line
to Guyton.-Four Independ
. ent Lines to the Sea.
When it comes to railroad schem
ing and building Col. E. C. Machen
takes the rag off the bush.
Col. Machen is now in Atlanta and
he has intimated to a newspaper re
, porter that Atlanta will have three
or four more independent lines to
, the sea.
It is proposed first to run a line
direct to Guyton. Os these four
lines the Atlanta Journal says:
“One is to Savannah, another is to
run across the river to Port Royal,
South Carolina, and still another is
to connect with the Charleston and
Savannah railroad and run to Char
leston, while a fourth is to leave the
main line at Statesborough and run
direct to Brunswick.
“There is a possibility, and, indeed,
it is very probable that there may be
another deep water connection made
at Darien.
“There is a beautiful bluff near
Darien on the new line of the new
railroad from there, and it has long
been a pet scheme with Judge James
Walker and other prominent citi
zens of Darien to have the Darien
short line connect with some other
: railroad to the northern portion of
the state.
“The water jin the bay opposite
and around the bluff is deep enough
; to float the largest ships. The sur
rounding country is as high and
beautifully situated as it’ it was in
tended to be occupied by a city.-
i “The people of Mclntosh county
are alive to their interests and will
see that a connectien is made with
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
along with Brunswick. The new
city will be laid out near Darien, and
Atlanta will have a tilth outlet to
deep water.
“The new line from Atlanta to the
' sea will be an improvement over the
present route in many instances.
It will be sixty miles neater Savan
nah, "forty-eight miles nearer Port
Royal, and the same distance from
Atlanta to Charleston as by the
Georgia railroad.
“The distance from Atlanta to
Covington is ten miles nearer by the
nev. line and at present, since the
r >ad is running from Eatonton to
to Machen, the people of the first
named place can get to Atlanta five
hours sooner than they ever did be -
fore.
“It is generally conceded that the
new road will be completed, and
then Atlanta will continue to grow
and to draw into her borders the
wealth of differant nations that come
directly into the ports of Georgia.
Friday Night’s Concert.
The Atlantic band is no longer in
a lethargic state. New life {and ac
tivity' has been infused into the or
ganization, and its immediate future
is unusually bright.
The idea of disbanding has long
since been abondoned. , Indeed, the
■ band has been thoroughly reorga
nized, and several excellent musi
cians have been added to its already
fine membership.
The band has prepared a special
program which will be rendered next
Friday night at Hanover park. The
following is the program:

A DARING ATTEMPT
To Burglarize The Residence of Mr.
H. C. Smith Last Night.
Mr. IL C. Smith is a night watch
man in the Brunswick and Western
railroad yards. His home is at
No. 527 B street.
Last night Mr. Smith went to his
work as usual, leaving his wife and
children at home alone.
About 12:30 o’clock during the
night Mrs. Smith was awakened by
a rapping on the window pane on the
back side of the house. On answer
ing the rapping she received no res
ponse, and resolving to know the
cause of the continued disturbances
she went to the window and pulled
curtain to one side, which disclosed
a burly negro.
The lady gave a cry of fright
which was answered by the negro
demanding an entrance to the house.
Thoroughly frightened, Mrs. Smith
raised an alarm which soon brought
Mr. Geo. W. Kirby, his father and
Policeman Wilchar on the scene-
The negro had, in the meantime,
made good his escape. The officers
feel confident of being able to run
the wretch down and bring him to
justice.
CHANGING HISCOLOR.
A Strange Freak of Nature. Comes to
• Light in Brunswick.
A strange freak, of nature has
come to light in this city. The
color of a negro named George Prin
gle, formaly a waiter in the Central
hotel, is changing to white.
The transformation has been in
progress about six months. At first,
a small white spot came upon his
breast, which spread rapidly until
now it covers almost the entire
trunk, neck and one side of the face.
The bleached skin looks healthy and
is as fine a white as that of an in
fant.
Pringle suffers no uncomfortable
smsation and can perceive no differ
ence in his .sense of touch or other
wise between his black and white
parts, but he holds a superstition
that the change is due to a conjur
er’s spell, which, he says, was put on
him during a visit to Philadelphia,
and he has a mental dread of the
culmination of the change. He is
very reluctant about conversing
upon the subject. Pringle is a ne
gro of more than ordinary intelli
gence and is said to be industrious
and faithful.
With His Little Gun.
A party near the corner of B and
K streets is making himself very
obnoxious to the people residing in
the immediate vicinity by discharg
ing an air gun in a very reckless
manner.
Last night while Miss Dora Lang
was sitting on her verandah this
nuisance discharged several bullets
toward her residence with what
proved to be an almost serious es
feet, as one of the bullets lodged in
the wall within six inches of Miss
Lang’s head. The matter has been
reported to the police, and will
doubtless receive their attention,
until the perpetrator is apprenended
