JOHN BULL IS SLOW.
Leisurely Advance of the Trolley in Great
 Britain.

The. prejudice against overhead wires fin Great Britain is al last slowly melting away. This method has been adopted in several towns, and the city of Glasgow, which has been deliberating the matter for two years has decided that it's in- stalation might be an advantage to the inhabitants of the city, but convincing tsst or it's merit must first be given. One hundred thousand dollars has there fore Teen voted for the establishment of an experimental route, about two and a half miles long, on an isolated section of the city street railway lines
 An old fossil, writing to London pa- per. says: "The many objections against the introduction of the overhead sys;em IS one that particularly noticed in the working of the said system in the city of Toronto, viz, that as the cars pass along the road the connecting rod from the top of the car where it joins the overhead. wire is continually giving off bright sparks, sufficient to frighten nervous people wfth the fear of possible danger. and also to startle nervous horses."

MT. stead's Farewell.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 Mr. Stead as a parting farewan to Am;rioa announces his belief that the American woman has more surface than actual respect paid her by the Ameri- can man. He explains that this is a rather nasty conclusion, but feels inn pelIAd to make it, since his observations lead him to beliIeve it Is true statement of the case. This attack on the Ameri- can woman was to be expected some day, since her too evident comeradarie and equality with the American man have beien very disquieting to English nerves. One would not of course confu e MT. Stlsad. It is not worth while All that is. to be said is that if he will but come oftener and stay longer he will probably find thatsall that has bsen said of the Americans respect for and the American woman's worthiness of this respect is true and is distinct national trait.

HORRIBLY HACKED.

Politicians Wife Accused of the Martin
Thorn Act.
Redwood Falls, Minn., Aug. 2.--John
O'COnnell, we'll known politician,
has been murdered at his farmhouse.
Seven gashes in his scalp were made
by some blunt iron instrument. After
the blows had been inflicted O'Con-
nelPs clothes were saturated with
kerosene and his home set on fire.
The statements of his nine children
are to the effect that Mrs. O'Connell,
wife of the murdered man, is the sole
author of the tragedy. His wife's an
tipathy to drink was strong, and his
abuse of her and their children while
under its influence appears to have
driven her insane.

WILL THE MABEY
Be ON HAND TODAY?
That is the Question of the Hour
with Steamboat Men and
Shippers.
BEGINNING OF THE WAR;
Brunswick Boats Are Ready-What Tug
boat Opposition Means-The
Lowest Bidder.

The question of the hour with local
steamboat men and parties interested
in shipping generally is: Will the
threatened tugboat opposition show
up today as promised?
The R. L. Mabey, officered by Cap
tain Leo Lomm and Engineer Jack
Fortune, is expected to appear on the
Brunswick bar this afternoon to in
augurate a war which will result IN a
wholesale slashing of towage rates, a
benefit to the vessel owners, loss to
Brunswick and harder work for every
body concerned.
The Mabey, if she comes, will prob
ably spend most of her time outside.
Her paddlewheels will have to do
some lively churning of the waters of
the Atlantic to keep up with the
DI uuSWlCk UUSts-DuL Sp6cU is HUC
so much of a consideration after all
in tugboat competition. Your aver
age vessel master, it is said by those
experienced, can scent towboat war
a hundred miles off shore, and he will
not allow the first boat that meets him
to give towllne. He is too sharp for
that. He will wait until rival boat
comes up. Like the intending buyer
of any class of merchandise he is after
the lowest price. The towboat cap
tains must do the bidding, and the
lowest offer takes the hawser. This
ls where the loss to the town comes in.
The Brunswick boats are prepared
to meet the opposition. The develop
ments will be watched with interest.

BARKENTINE LOST
NEAR SAVANNAH.
The Cypher, Loaded with ROSin
and Lumber, Totally
Ruined.
FLAMES STARTED ON FRIDAY,
But Were Thought to be Extinguished.
This, However, Proved
Mistake.

Savannah, Aug. 2. - The British
barkentine Cypher was practically re-
duced TO cipher by flames this morn
ing at Five Fathom Hole. about three
miles down the river.
This is the vessel that caught fire
last Friday night, and was only saved
from total destruction at that time by
the prompt arrival of Captain Shekels,
of the tugboat Forest City, and his
crew.
The Cypher has been anchored in
Five Fathom Hole since Thursday.
Captain David Thomas, the master of
the barkentine, was IN the city Fri
day night arranging to clear Satur-
day, and knew nothing of the fire un-
til after iT was extinguished. The
fire Friday night was aft. This morn
ing about O'clock flames were found
to be ascending from the forward part
of the vessel. In short time the
fire had gotten beyond control. Cap
tain Thomas was still ashore, intend
ing to secure his papers this morning.
A survey having been held on the ves-
sci Saturday, it was decided 1t could
go to sea without returning to the
city.
When the flames were found abOar d
the vessel this morning there was,
from all reports, very little effort made
to put them out. The cargo of the
vessel, consisting of lumber and rosin,
burned fiercely and rapidly. Three
of the towboat company's tugs. the
Cambria, Regis and Forest City, went
to the rescue of the burning vessel,
but found that the crew were not max
ing any very noticeable efforts to save
1t. The heat was SO intense that it
was hard for the tugs to do anything.
Captain Thomas went to his vessel in
one of the tugs, but he did not reach
it in time to go aboard and do any
good,
The Cypher was bound for Pernam-
buco, laden with $500 barrels of rosin
and $4,000 feet Of lumber. 1t was
loaded by Paterson, Downing & Co.
and came to Savannah consigned to
Straehan & Co. The vessel has only
recently been rebuilt and was a
stanch, seagoing ship. Its cargo was
valued at about $4,000 and the vessel
was worth probably $1,000. Both
cargo and vessel are insured.

opening of the next winters season,
Work is to be begun in few days.
Mr.. Pulitzer's cottage will be one
marked by quiet elegance; Mr.. Kings
will be unique in .design-a square
structure, with wide, open court in
the centre. These two cottages will
undoubtedly be the finest on the
island.
The work will employ a very large
force of men.

Can Help the Courts In pressng the Lesson Most Needed In Ge
CONFERENCE FOR CUMBERLAND.
1t is Hoped That Satisfactory Agreement
Will be Reached.

Will De heacneQs
A conference for the purpose Of
reaching some agreement in regard to
the present situation of the Cumber-
land Island company was held last
night. At the conference Captain
Robert E. Park, of Macon, president
of the Cumberland Island company,
and the company's attorney, repre-
sented the company, and Messrs. At
kinsOn and Dunwody the Bunk ley
heirs. Contractor Smith, who has
been doing the jetty work, was also
present. The conference was held at
! the Oglethorpe.
1t is believed that everything was
satisfactorily arranged at last nights
conference, but this is not positively
known, as no information could be OBJ
tanned from the parties. If no agree
ment or settlement was made the ap-
plicatlon for a permanent receiver
will be made to Judge Sweat one day
this week, probably on Thursday. This
hearing will probably occur at Way
cross.
Temporary Receiver Lee Bunkley,
of Macon, spent Sunday on the island.
Pending the receivership proceed
ings, as stated in THE TIMES a few
days ago, the company's share of the
hotels income for the month of July
is tied up.
The work of building the immense
dam across the inlet has also been
suspended. Contractor Smith, who
has been building the dam, and Con-
tractor Eastmore, who has been driving
the plling for it, came up to the city
last night and their men are on the
island idle. The contractors express
no doubt that they will get their
money as soon as an agreement is
reached, but only regret the delay in
their work.
Mr.. H. s. McCrary has a claim
| apainst the cOmnanv for savaral hun-
dred dollars for hauling sand for the
dam. He has stopped the work and
will bring his horses, mules and
wagons back to the city.
The receivership does not affect
Ma anager Shackelford in the least
His management continues and will
continue to the end of the season. He
has had fairly good season, consid-
ering the special attractions at other
resorts and the Nashville exposition,
and expects large crowds next week.
All the present guests are delighted
with his excellent management and
the perfect manner in which he has
cared for all visitors.
THE TIMES hopes to be able to an
nOunce the settlement of all the COM
pany's difficulties at an early date.

OUsTED BY MACHINES.
Fruit Jar Makers Will Be Thrown Out
of Jobs.

of Jobs.
Muncie, Ind Aug. 2.-Ball Bros. /,
among the largest fruit jar manufac-
turers in the world, are now prepar-
ing to introduce machines for blowing
fruit jars, and have sent notice to
some of their employees that their SER
vices will not be needed after this
month.
Two hundred have received these
notices. They claim the machines
will do better work than the men at
half the cost. 1t is expected that glass
jars will be brought into competition
with tinwsre, and that the demand
will be largely increased, owing to
the cheapness.
