BRUNswIcK's TOwBOAT wan.
What Led 10 IL and the Manner I'm
which IL Was settled.

Brunswick. Ca. Aug. H.-From a COM
mercial standpoint a most important hap
pening in this section recently was the
settlement Of the towboat war between
Brunswick and Darien boats. Various
conflicting rumors regarding this matter
have been afioat, but the facts are as
follows. as secured from Col. John Z.
duBignon. president Of the Brunswick
Towing Company: The trouble Originate
ed on Aug. II, 1894. About that time the
brunswick company learned that there
was some dissatisfaction on the part OF
Hunter. Bonn * Co, large lumber ship
pers from Brunswick and Darien. with
the Darien boats. II was understood that
the firm would bring their own boat
from Pensacola TO do their towing at
both Brunswick and Darien. Realizing
that II such was done. IL would cut into
their business the Brunswick company
made proposition to do the firms work
at both ports. they feeling sure that
the Darien boats had lost that part of
the business coming here. A contract
was made with Hunter, Benn & Co. on
Aug. II TO do their entire towing for one
year at regular rates always paid the
Darien boats. The Darien boats felt ag-
grieved on account of this con-
tract, and begun to wage "A
war on the Brunswick bar for
all business both here ana at Darien.
cutting the regular rates one
third and one-half. Shortly at
ter this the tug Z. Dart. a Brunswick
boat, that had heretofore been connected
with the Brunswick company, withdrew
from them and Joined the Darien boats
in their opposition to the home boats.
This cut rate war cohunuel until a few
days ago, when the Darien people came
to Brunswick and proposed a settlement.
An arrangement was then made between
the two compaLies, with the consent of
Hunter Benn q Co, dividing the bust
ness, giving the Darien boats the Darien
business, and the Brunswick boats TAX
ing the Brunswick business. The Da-
rien boats are TO subsidise the tug u.
Dart, which will probably tie up to the
docks or move to some other port, as
she will not be allowed to tow in these
water for one year.

MRS. MOBILES REsPIrED.
The Woman Given n New Lease OF
Life Until Oct. IL.


Atlanta. Ca. Aug. 14.-Gov. Atkinson
this afternoon granted a respite 10 Mrs.
Mobiles. the Twiggs county murderess, I'M
I'll oct Is. Gus FAMILIES. her negro ac-
oomplice, was also respited until the same
time. In case Of a new trial for Mrs. No
Sles. FAMILIES will probably be needed as
a witness.
Mir. Harris Of Macon and Col. W c.
Glenn Of Atlanta, attorneys for Mrs No
bles. went before the governor this morn
ing and presented the application for a
respite. There was no effort made 10 have
the governor commute the sentence OF
Mrs Mobiles, or TO lessen in any way her
punishment. He was simply asked 10
grant her a respite until her case could De
brought into the courts again. which Il
will be impossible TO do until the second
week in october. when the Twiggs county
court convenes.
Mr. Harris stated that he was present
not to ask the governor to decide whether
Mrs. Mobiles was guilty OF not, nor TO de-
eide as to the extent she was guilty, nor
to decide what punishment she should re-
ceive. but 20 step in and fill the hiatus in
the Jurisdiction of the courts that might,
IL 1t were not filled, cause a great wrong.
He then introduced the evidence that ne
had presented 10 Judge q. c. smith on
Monday. when he asked for a new trial
and made a motion to set aside the judg-
ment. which Judge Smith would not con-
slider, holding that he had no jurisdiction
during vacation.
The evidence presented by Mr.. Harris
on the motion for a new trial was volum-
nous. The main reason for asking the
trial was that Mrs. Mobiles was insane at
the time of the murder and at the time
of the trial; that her mother had been
&C. -, Of luna 10 =
her sister also, and that she herself was
at present a At subject for the asylum
Other grounds We're also urged, among
them the absence of the official report of
the trial. which should have been pre-
scented thirty days after the trial, and
which was not yet ready. He read afi-
davites relative to Mrs. Mobiles insanity,
and an interview in which she had prac-
sically abandoned her attorneys imme-
diately after the rendering of the verdict;
also read the decision of Judge Smith not
10 call a special term of court to hear the
motion for a new trial. on the ground that
special terms of court were to be called
TO conduct trial. not to hear motions
Col. w. c. Glenn also argued the case
before the governor, declaring that JUS
tice for the woman was all that was asked
for, II she was or was not responsible for
her deed The court should be given the
fullest opportunity to know the facts and
determine the Justice.
This afternoon the Evening Commercial
started a fund to employ counsel to de-
fend Mrs. Mobiles and at the African
African Methodist Episcopal ministers
meeting to-day il was decided either to
ask life Imprisonment for Gus Families
provided this executive clemency is eX-
tended to Mrs. Mobiles, or to employ coun-
sci TO reopen his case and ask for new
trial.
Mrs. Mobiles attorneys also presented
a petition signed by a great many ladies
urging him to commute the woman's
sentence or respite her.

They Wish to Get "A New Contract
for the Ensuing Year.
Waycross. Aug. AVN the engineers of
the Plant system get a new contract?
That is the question that has been asked
by everybody all along the line of the
Plant system since last Thursday. The
engineers of the various divisions of the
system have elected one or two men from
each division to consult with the railway
authorities regarding a new contract. The
delegates were among the most inhuen-
fial engineers in the service of the sys-
tenn. They notified Superintendent b. Dun
nam that they would be pleased to meet
him in Savannah last Friday. On Thurs
day they met in Savannah and intended TO
see Mr.. Durham the next day. Mr.. Dun
ham left early Friday morning on a tour of
the South Florida lines of the system. The
engineers expected his return at anv time.
they waited several days and still they
neard nothing of him. Finally, after hav-
ing heard nothing regarding the time Mr.
durham would return, the engineers left
Savannah yesterday for their homes. They
have not lost hope. They will apply to the
various division superin tendents for a
hearing, and in this way they hope to OBJ
tain satisfactory contract There is
much anxiety felt by the engineers in this
matter and yet enough can be seen and
heard to satisfy one that there is a feeling
OF subdued uneasiness in their ranks.

CHECKING A LITIGANT.
Points I'm Respect to n Railroad a
Savannahian Is building.

Athens. Ga, Aug. 4-Yesterday Asa J.
Booth filed in Clarke superior court a
suit for $4,000 damages against
the Clarke County Building
and Loan Association. This is
the sixth suit of this nature filed by
Booth the other five having been thrown
out of court from time TO time. The first
suit arose by the association selling
Booths lot to pay off a loan upon it. The
association has now gotten tired of these
repeated cases and the expense attached
to answering them and has filed a petit
tion for injunction, requiring Booth to
quit filing these suits.
1t is understood that G. ]. Baldwin of
Savannah will, at an early date decide
whether the road from the Chestatee
pyrites mines will be built to Lula or
Gainesville. Athens would like for the
road to be built to Lula and the Athens
gentlemen who propose to make an offer
for the lease of the Northeastern will
doubtless try to secure the new road for
Lula.
