The Towing HOstilities Begun
Yesterday, but Not by
the Mabey,
suspicious OF A Big BLUFF" j."
Believed That Threats of Opposition Are to
Cover Up Great Filibustering
Expedition.

The towboat war began in earnest
yesterday-but the r. L. Mabey
wasn't belligerent party.
1t was the tug Bristol that started
the ball. The first blow, therefore,
came from the Savannah side of the
opposition. The Bristol appeared off
the Brunswick bar yesterday morn
ing, and picked up the little schooner
Mary A. Hall, of 34l tons, bound
from New York to Brunswick. The
two Brunswick tugs which were out
side at the time had each big tows In
the four-masted schooners James q.
Beecher and Laura G, Anderson, and
the Bristol was unOpposed In making
a contract with the little schooner.
The Bristol did not remain in port,
but put out to sea again as soon as
she dropped the Mary A. Hall.
Secretary w. F. McCauley, of the
Propeller Towboat company, of Saw
annah, which is supposed to be in-
clIned to assist the Brunswick boats in
the war. spent yesterday in the city,
in conference with the local tugboat
men. He left last night for Jackson
Vile. His mission has direct bearing
on the expected hostilities,
The non-appearanc of the Mabey,
as booked, has given added force to
suspicious which have been current
along the coast for several days. The
suspicious are that the threatened
towboat war, so far as the Mabey and
the Dauntless are concerned, is only
gigantic "bluff", intended merely to
cover up well-laid plan for the big
gest Cuban expedition yet sent out.
The fact that Captain Lomm is in
command of the Mabey, and that, for
some sudden cause, the Dauntless has
again been put under strict Govern
ment surveillance, are presented as
grounds for suspicion. The resigna-
tion of Engineer Dan Devereaux, pre-
sumably to take his vacation, and the
fact that he has never felt it necessary
heretofore to resign in order to take a
vacation, adds strength to the rumOr.
President j. E. du Bignon, of the
Brunswick Towboat company, said
last night that the Brunswick boats
were not concerned in any "bluff",
although he couldn't speak for the
others.

PUTTING DOWN PIPES.
Important Changes Being Made in Standard
Oil Company's Property,

Important Changes Being Made in Standard
Oil COmpany's Property.
Mr., W. r. Jester, construction agent
of the Standard Oil Co., is in the city,
giving his attention to some important
work, which will have to be done to
prepare the local property of the
company for certain changes in the
manner of carrying on its extensive
business.
The company will soon be equipped
to handle oil in tanks at this point,
and it is probable that Brunswick will
be made a distributing point for the
section adjacent to the city.
Mr.. Jester will superintend the
construction of new reservoirs, and
the laying of pipe lines to the rail-
road tracks.
The new arrangement will greatly
facilitate the operations of the
company in this city, and a larger
quantity of oil will be handled through
the local office.

WOULDN'T WORK
With NEGROES.
Big Strike Inaugurated in Atlanta
Because of Race
Feeling.
WALK OUT OF MANY WOMEN.
Then the Men Quit Too, in Sympathy-ViO-
lence Was Threatened Eight
Hundred Affected,

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-Two hundred
women and girls employed at the
Fulton bag and cotton mills, in this
city, struck this morning, because of
the employment of negro help by the
management.
The operatives learned yesterday
that twenty-five colored women were
to be put to work in the folding de-
partment today. The white women
employed in the mills gathered about
the main entrance this morning and
waited the arrival of the president,
Mr.. Jacob Elsas.
The newly employed negro women
were already there and, when Mr..
Elsas came, the white women wanted
to know whether it was true that he
had proposed to put negroes to work
WIFI Lucms I1c Sdlu JuhL u6 Ulu. anu
the white women refused to go to
work.
At noon 400 men employed in the
mills walked out in obedience to or
ders of the Textile Workers union,
and in sympathy with the striking
female operatives. This forced the
closing down of the factory.
The strikers gathered in angry
groups about the mills for time, as
if there might be a riot.
The Fulton bag and cotton mills is
one of the largest concerns of the
kind in the south. The corporation is
successor to the old firm of Elsas,
May & Co., and Jacob Elsas is its
president. About 500 men, women
and children are affected by the strike.

A RAILROAD MAN.

He is Here, They Say, to Investigate Old
Custom House Building.
Supervisor of Bridges and Buildings
Lum, of the Southern railway, arrived
yesterday on his private Car for the
purpose of inspecting the property of
the road in this city.
1t is believed that Supervisor Lum's
visit has something especially to do
with the old custom house building
and may result in It's long contem-
plated demolition in order to make
room for a new and modern ware
house building.
Mr.. Lum is accompanied by Super
lntendent w. r. Beauprie. With
Land and Industrial Agent Richards,
they went to ST. Simon yesterday af-
ternoon.

The Wheelmen Meet.

Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-The visiting
wheelmen of the big L. A. w. meet
were astir early this morning and
were soon in complete possession of
the smooth asphalt streets, suburban
roads and park drives. AS the days
set apart for racing approach, the
registration of visitors indicates that
the meet of 1897 will far exceed that
of any previous year.

Away in the Night.
West Point, Ca, Aug. 4.-Ed.
ThOmaston, a negro charged with two
attempts to commit criminal assault
in one day, was brought here yester-
day afternoon by w. J. Graves, who
lives mile from this place on the
Chattahoochee river.
1t seems that Thomaston first at
tempted an assault upon a mulattO
girl about IA years old, living on the
outskirts of West Point. She screamed
for help ard when her mother came
to her assistance a fight ensued be-
tween her and Thomaston, resulting
in his escaping and the old lady being
wounded on one arm by a cut from
his knife. He then proceeded to the
home of Mr. Graves and attempted an
assault on Mrs. Graves.
MIR. Graves arrived with his gun
just in time, however, and captured
the negro and brought him to this
place, where he turred him over to
Deputy Sheriff Andrew Erwin.
The prisoner was put in the city
guardhouse for safe keeping until he
could be sent to LAGRANGE, but some
time during the night he escaped from
the guardhOuse and has not been
heard of since. Preliminary trial was
absence of the prisoner.

GAINING GROUND
ARE The MINERS.
They Are Inducing More Men
to Quit Work Every
Day.
DIGGERS BADLY IN DEMAND
Plum Creeks Output Reduced Sandy Creek
Almost Shut Down What 0per-
atOrs Claim.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 4-The strik-
ing miners gained another victory at
Plum Greek this morning by inducing
twenty more men to join their ranks,
all diggers.s This mine was working
with half force yesterday. The
striking men are turning their atten-
tiOn to diggers entirely, knowing that
if they come out their employees will
be forced to follow.
On the other hand, the New York
and Cleveland Gas and Coal company
is making every effort to keep their
mines going, They claim that all
Plum Greek miners ar working while
the strikers say not more than forty
men are in the pit. A full force at
that mine is 340men. Before the cam
pers came the output was from 120 to
l40 cars per day. This output, how
ever, was about forty cars above the
average when other mines are work.
ing. The output yesterday was
thirty-niAe cars. With twenty more
out today the output is not expected
to exceed twenty cars, the complete
closing of the mine may be expected
in few days.
The campers at Sandy Greek had
little to do. The NINE is, to all in
tents aud purposes, shut down. The
output is not more than two cars a
day. The capacity has been 100 cars
per day. No change at Oak Hill.
Tue extraordinary capacity Is 100 cars
aud normal capacity 80 cars.
The demonstration against Dear
mitt has had the effect of decreasing
the capacity of $40 cars to 40 cars,
with the probability of it. being
further reduced. One of the notable
features of the strike of the miners
has been the absence of any effort of
the operators to get their miners to
work.
There has been no meeting by them
to consider the situation, nor has
there been any attempts to start the
mines with new men. This was ex.
planned today by an operator who
said he is satisfied to have the strike
continue until January, as he has
enough coal to last him, or can get it
&C prices which will enable him to make
a profit.
Lower river markets are reported
we'll stocked with Pittsburg coal.
Some of the railroad operators have
plenty of coal, one producer claiming
to have not less than 100000 tons avail
able for his contracts. and others can
buy coal at q price almost as low as
they can produce it.

Attention First to the Piles Of Earth Removed From the New Coho
NOT BEGUN YESTERDAY.
Delay on the Dredgs Causes Postponement
of the Work,

of the Work.
The work of destroying the Bruns-
wick bar was not resumed yesterday.
The dredge, which is on the marine
railway, had not been completed, and
it was necessary to postpone the be-
ginning of the work until the dredge
can be made ready.
This will probably be Friday or Sat-
urday.
Captain Holman will have charge of
the dredge. Capt. j. A. Bryan, who
attends to the management of the
dredge, requests THE TIMES to correct
a statement made in the article pub
lished about the work in Mondays is
sue. 1t was stated therein that it
would be necessary to remove 10000
yards of sand in order to obtain the
depth required for receiving a pay
ment on the appropriation. Captain
Bryan says it will only be necessary
to take out 1000 yards to secure "a
feet, which is all that is required to
secure payment. 1t will not take
long, according to Captain Bryan's
estimate, to complete this instalment
of the work.

MISS PARLOA ON SOUPS.
The French HouselSeeper's Way OF Making
Them Described In q Lecture.

The French Housekeeper's Way of Making
Them Described In q Lecture.
Economy is the watchword Of the
French people, said Miss Parloa in her
talk upon the characteristics of French
cookery at the New York Young Wom-
ans Christian association, land the
French housekeeper, no matter how
simple the dish, excels in the making of
it. The market prices are much higher
in France than here, butter and sugar
costing more than as much again. One
may buy half lemon or part Of car
rot, and it is not thought unusual, and
only a sufficient quantity is purchased to
supply each meal, and an unexpected
guest is never provided for. F"
Miss Parloa added that roasting and
broiling are hardly known among
the working Glasses, and pastry is
made only In the kitchens of the very
wealthy. An American housewife may
take the lead in the making of dainty
and fancy desserts, but to a French
woman the making Of soups and sauces
is the most important part of the cook
cry.
The following simple soup is said to
be savory and delicious: Put table
spoonfuls of butter or meat fat in soup
kettle and pour over it 2 quarts Of wa
ter. Let it cook 10 minutes before add
ing pint of potatoe cut into cubes
and 8 leeks washed and sliced thin.
Add a teaspoonful Of salt and one-third
of pepper and allow this to cook very
slowly one hour. Break slices Of stale
bread into pieces and put In the soup
tureen, and turn the soup over it when
cooked the required length of time.
A French vegetable soup is made thus:
Cut large onion into thin slices and
put them in a pan with tablespoonful
of butter. Let them simmer together
half an hour and add quarts of water.
Have prepared pint of white turnips
cut into cubes, the same amount Of DO
tatoes. half pint of carrots, half pint
Of the white part of the leek cut intS
thin slices. Add a Glove of garlic, ar
eschalot. a teaspoonful of sugar, one
third of a teaspoonful of pepper and sail
and cook slowly an hour, adding some
chopped parsley 8 minutes before tn,
soup is removed from the fire. This souI
may also be used for vegetable pure,
by pressing it through a coarse sieve
and to pint of the thick soup add ;
pint of boiling milk
A paste for thickening sauces is KEEP
at hand for constant use. Here is thu
way to make one that will keep long
time: Cut equal amounts Of beef, yea
and pork suet in small pieces Put then
in kettle with very little water anC
slowly render. Turn off the first fat
a IL
forms thick paste-about a pint O
flour to pint of liquid fat. Put thes'
into a graniteware vessel and place il
an oven and cock three to four hours
Keep IN glass jars covered.
