BOOMLETS BOOM.
The Makers Of History Busy With
the Naming Of the Next
Mayor.
COLONEL KAY MAY Be CALLED.
The President of the Phoenix, However, Does
Not Expatiate Council Apt to Com
pliment Mr.. Beach.

And it came to pass that in the days
of the early summer there fell a sud-
den political agitation upon the city
which is called Brunswick; so that
men congregated often in public
places, and originated personal BOOM
let's between gulps of ice water (or
beer); for the office of mayor was
threatened with a vacancy, and the
honor (and salary) clinging thereto
was desideratum not to be despised,

Incinerate,
There was great plentitude of the
aforesaid boOmlets in Brunswick yes
terday. Vox populi expressed copious
regrets at the disqualification of Ma
son, but didn't allow these regrets to
interfere with its favorite occupation
of "mentioning" Mr.. So and So or
Colonel Somebody for the succession.
First and foremost among the CAM
paigns that originated yesterday was
that one which had as its subject Col.
w. E. Kay, the prominent attorney.
This all happened without Colonel
Kay's knowledge or consent, and he
declined to go into any detailed dis
cussiOn of it. Many approving pushes
along were gwen Colonel Kay's boom
let, and if the colonel were not so
modest and space so scarce, THE
TIMES could give columns of indorse-
ments brought forth by the suggestion
of his name.
1t is being generally considered as
very probable that the city council
will compliment Hon. ] L. Beach
with tender of the office. What his
reply would be is net at present with

Mr.. Beach's interview in yesterday

sion as to this probable action of the
council.
Brobston may be a candidate and
there are other names which ran the
gamut of public comment yesterday.
People will talk, and the present agi-
tation gives them good opportunity.

the Next Mayor But Everybody Knows Where to the News
ECHOES OF THE TRIP.
One Of the Pythians Writes About the
Savannah Conclave.

DoNduudu OUuCldVbs
The boys of No. 4 will never forget
the liberal hospitality shown them by
Savannah and in after years they will
look back on the trip there as one of
the happiest events of their lives,
The reception committee was COM
posed of large hearted Knights, who
were ever near looking ont for the en-
jOyment of their visitors. Brother
MilitaIr, one of those whole-souled
gentlemen who are never happy them
selves except when they are doing
some kindness for others, was always
around with No. and gave them
good cheer aud lots of encouragement
before the drill contest. He will never
be forgotten by the Brunswick boys.
All we want is chance at him here.
Brother Buckwald was another good
friend to No. 4. Without him they
would have been lost many times.
Friday morning some of the boys
took trip to Thunderbolt, and If YOU
had been with them you would have
thought they owned the town. Broth
er Tankersley was soloist and the boys
joined in the chorus, The conductor
gave them full possession and seemed
to enjoy The music as much as anyone.
One of the boys got left, but he d d'dn't
seem to care.
During the first practice drill we
had at the park extension the division
was very much annoyed by small BOYS
yelling at them, so Captain Newman
appointed Brother Studenberg chief
Of police to keep them quiet. He was
obliged to call for the assistance of
mounted policeman. For an all around
fine fellow and true Knight he is one.
If there was anything to be attended
to that should be we'll done Brother
Studenberg was called upon to do it.
When the division marched on the
field for the contest someone remarked
that ''that company was sure to win"
because they had old veterans in the
first four and last four. That was
meant for Captains Fahm and Las
serre. They are old veterans, but they
we're as young as anyone in the divis-
ion. The commanding officers of No.
received 100 per cent in the prize
drill, none of them making an error.
Many handsome compliments were
passed upon the way Brothers r. Lev
isOnand N. d. Smith went through
the drill, and everyone said that they
werethe bestguides on the field.

His Friend.
BRILLIANT GEMS IN A BELT.
Scruggs Tells Fairy Tale About Buying
the Things For Sunday

New York, May 22.-Richard M.
Scruggs, st. Louis millionaire, and
e G Langhorn of the same city were
arrested by customhouse inspectors as
they stepped off the steamer St. Paul
on its arrival from Southampton today.
Warning had evidently been tele-
graphed when they left Southampton.
The charge was that of smuggling.
When the inspectors searched Lang
horn they round belt containing di-
mOnds, j4welry, and watches. Srmi-
lar articles we're found in Mr.. Scrugss'
pockets. Valuable laces were also
captured. The captured stuff is worth
$4,000.
The two men waived examination
before Commissioner Shields and were
held in $4,000. 1t was learned that
Scrngg1 and Langhorn went 70 Eng
land to sell the patent on a calculating
machine and got 100000 for it.
scrnggs' explanation is that he
bought the jewelry for the st. Louis
Sunday school union, of which he is
president, and that he was told in
England that they we're not dutIable.
LanghOrn is the secretary.
Scruggs says it was Langhorn that
declared for the two that there was
not more than $25 worth of dutiable
goods. Scruggs is at the head of big

Captain Torras' New Gun.

Capt. r. Torras, the local Spanish
vice. consul, has invented a gun which
may bring him fame and fortune. The
drawings of Captain Torras' new an
nihilator of lines of battle ara now
before the board of officers of the
U. S. army, and are being studied
by the warriors with keen interest.
The gun is so constructed that it Will
fire simultaneously two projectiles,
connected by chain. The force of
expulsion causes the projecties to
separate as they pass through the air,
and the chain, being taut, mows down
a whole company at time. The army
officers, 1t is understood, are very
much pleased with the Torras in
strument of destruction.
