BRUINS wIcKs EXPOSITION.
The Cit'z ms Have Urea dy Subscribed
$4,000 Toward II.


BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 21.-The citizens
OF Brunswick have gone to work in earnest
to have an exposition here this winter. and
with that end in view have met and dis
cussed the situation, appointed committees,
elected officers. headed by Hon. w. G.
brsntley. president, and obtained suhscrip-
lions TO the enterprise, which will be known
as the Southeast Georgia Exposition Com
pany.
Many people here cried down the project
when first mentioned, but liberally dis
posed and progressive citizens soon sub
ecrlbed $4,000 as a starter, and the exposi-
ton was assured. Dec. / to is the date
named for the holding of the exposition.
LARGE PRIZES WILL BE OFFERED
Tor exhibits of agriculture, it being desired
by the directors to show unbeliey ers what
Southeast Georgia can produce in the line
OF fruits and vegetables.
Since the timber industry is RAPIDLY
playing out, the people are devoting good
deal of attention to farming and fruit
growing, but as yet no opportunity for dis
playing the results of their labor has been
properly afforded them, and TO the accom-
pllshment OF this purpose the directors of
this exposition will chiefly devote their at
tention
Another feature will be horse racing, it
beng the directors intention to make this
an extraordinary attraction. During the
winter months many wealthy northerners
live In Brunswick aud on Jekyl Island
These people bring their blooded stock with
them, and it is thought that they can be so
interested that their horses will be driven
over this track during their sojourn here.
That the exposition will be
BENEFICIAL TO BRUNSWICK
is foregone conclusion. In December
shipping is at its high, vessels from all
over the world are in port, cotton is passing
through, thousands of dock hands are en-
ployed at good wages, money is compara-
lively easy, the merchants enjoy good
trade and every one tries to make q good
impression, each in his own peculiar way.
Brunswick is counting heavily on the
success of this first effort, and hopes to
make it one that will bear increasing good
fruit each year

PRODUCED a card RAIN,
Experiment With Dyrenfurth's Bal
looms on a Texas Ranch.
From the WASHINGTON Post

MIDLAND, TEX. Aug. 19.-The first
oxyhydrogen balloon brought here by Gen.
Dyrenfurth's rain-msking experts was ex-
ploded yesterday on the ranch at an alti-
tude of 4 miles. There were a few scat
tered clouds in the sky at the time. The
experiment was made at about 3 o'clock.
There was no indication of rain, however.
previous to the explosion.
The balloon was exploded by electricity,
and the report from it sounded like heavy
clap of thunder. The unusual sound COM
ing from a clear sky stampeded a herd of
cattle near the ranch headquarters. Sew
eral kites with dynamite attached to their
tails were sent up Immediately after the
balloons, and the dynamite was exploded
by electricity. Rendrock powder was dis
tributed for distance of two and three
Quarter miles from the headquarters, and
also exploded by igniting dynanos. 1t
made a terrific noise. aud sent up great VOL
uules of white smoke, which rose only a
short distance, however, and then was
beaten down by the rain, which at once be-
gan falling, and continued for four hours
and twenty minutes.
Incoming ranchmen and trainmen say
the rain extended many miles. Prof. Cur
tist, meteorologist for this rainfall expedi-
ton, estimates that the rain covers an area

away, and were mistaken for thunder by
the natives.
She delicate instrument for ascertaining
the barometrical conditions showed the at
mosphere Immediately before the expert
ment to be extremely dry. and not more
than 60 per cent. humidity.
The explosions were followed by rapid
falling of the barometer and the rain came
down in torrents. Between the ranch and
this town, a distance OF twenty-five miles,
the roads were badly washed out by the
heavy rain.
As this dispatch is being written late this
afternoon the sun is shining in cloudless
sky, but heavy claps of thunder are heard
on the C ranch. and there viii undoubtedly
be more rain very shortly.
The most extensive experiments have not
yet been made, but will probably be begun
tomorrow.

Finds His Sweetheart Married When
BE Arrives With a License.
ALBANY, GA, Aug. 21.-Joseph Davis,
young railroader of this city now thinks
all the world is false and life has no charms
for him. Joe did not marry the girl he
bought his license for, and this is the cause
of his sorrow. Miss Leila Trice, who is
generally known as Miss Culpepper, owing
to her mother marrying second time when
she was but babe, is pretty
and winsome, and all the
gallant young Americas in the neighbor-
hood of Fields Crossing, a small hamlet on
the A. +. and n. road, about eight miles
above the city, put forth their best efforts
to win her heart and hand. Her admirers
finally dropped off to two, Messrs.
Melvin and Davis Melvin was
positive that his earnest wooing
would be rewarded. $50 was Davis.
Wednesday morning Melvin drove up to the
Young lady's house, fixed for business, and
was quietly married to Miss Leila Trice.
That afternoon Davis procured the marriage

vance to tie the silken knot, and, In COM
pany with the reverend one, he went in
quest of his girl. But he was doomed
to a sad disappointment. Upon reaching
the house he was introduced to Mrs. Leila
Melvin. Joe no doubt felt blue. In bis
haste he had Melvin, the name of Miss Gull

ments were issued. 1t is said the PEARSON

The Law Against Attempted Suicide.

Another illustration OF the wisdom Of the
New York statute which makes it crime to
attempt to commit suicide is furnished by
case which came before the Court O. Cen
oral Sessions on Wednesday.
In the early part OF August. JAcoD SIZE
GRIsT. who was formerly a steward on tho
United States cruiser Chicago. jumped into
tho North River with intent to drown him
self. He was rescued by FREDERICK MEADE,
police officer. and was indicted for the
crime OF attempting suicide. The Penal
Code makes this offence felony punisha-
bio by imprisonment in State prison not
exceeding two years or by fine not exceed
ing one thousand dollars. or both.
When arraigned for trial this week the
prisoner pleaded guilty. but his counsel
asked the Recorder to suspend sentence,
saying that at the time OF the offence the
prisoner had been drinking to excess for
several days; that he had served with
credit in the navy and had an honorable dis
charge from the service: and that instead
OF desiring to die he was now most anxious
to live. Thereupon Recorder SMYTH. upon
the promise OF the defendant 10 give up
drink and to reenlist in the navy. anpounc-
cd that sentence would he suspended for
the present and discharged SIEGRIsr from
custody.
