IHFTME EVENING POST. 1^1.)A11 Y EV’EI *T SUNI)AY. 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.

The most conservative estimates place Brunswick’s cotton receipts for the coming season at 250,000 bales. There is a good deal of activity in real estate circles just now, and all dealers and agents anticipate a busy ' fall trade. Hanover park is quite a resort for visitors as well as citizens. Scores of people spend their afternoons in the shade of the widesoreading oaks. i , If, by looking over your station ery, you find that you need anj’ bill heads, note heads, etc., take your order to M. J. Parker, Kaiser block, where your work can be done prompt- ( ly and neatly, at reasonable prices. 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. Three little negro boys were ar , rested this morning at the instance of Annis Thomas, who lives on Lon don street. The boys had a flip each and a pocket full of rocks, and they . tormented A.nnis by shooting through her front windows.

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.

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 — Boarders Wanted.
