SPRINGER WAS WARNED.
A Captain From Havana Brings Startling
Story.

A Captain From Havana Brings a Startling
Story.
Capt. Noah Davidson, Of the Ameri-
can schooner William II. swar, just In
port from Havana tells highly sen
sationaI story of the Maine disaster,
which occurred three daya before ne
sailed for this port.
The swan was anchored one hum
dred yards from 'be Maine, in eight
feet Of water The explosion swept
ali the water from beneath the Swan,
and she ecraped the bottom. A start
ling feature Of Capt. Dayidson's mar
ration relates to three warnings which
he declares Vice Consul Springer re-
ceived the very day OF the disaster.
Springer told Davidson and party
of American ship-masters in the con-
sular office that three times on the day
the Maine blew up a Spanish AmerI-
can rushed into his Office and begged
him, "for the sake of humanity" !" to
order the Maine away from Havana
before nightfal. This individual
stated that unless the battleship was
moved Immediately a dreadful calam-
ity would result. Springer believed
the man a crank aud ordered him
away. He did not change his mind
until it was too late. "a vigorous
search was made,o said Capt, David
son, "but he had disappeared.
@Commander siggsbee,o said Capt,
Davidson, "acied magnlncently. A
feature Of the explosion was the effect
felt ID Havana. At the time / was in
a house on shore, 4OO yards from the
Maine, playing cards with friends.
Our card table was overturned, and
every portable article 10 the room was
dashed about. No one who has seen
the wreck doubts that submarine
mine did the work. The destruction
WAS too complete to admit OF the tor
peao theory"

RHGEIVHRSHTP CASE
FINALLY CLOSED.
Judge Sweat Discharges Receiver
Colson, Of Mayer
& Ullman.
RUSSELL AND A PRIVATE PAPER.
The Downing Insurance Suit on Again, With
the Argument Of Colonel
King,

In superior court yesterday, the
long protracted S. Mayer & Unman
reCeivership was finally disposed, the
receiver discharged, and all the affairs
of the defunct business closed
1t will be remembered that the firm
Of s, Mayer & Ullman, which did a
very large Wholesale grocery business
at this point, failed as result Of the
suicide Of the senior partner, Sts N.
UlIman, and the consequent failure Of
the Oglethorpe National and First
National banks. Mr., M. J. Colson
was appointed permanent receiver,
and the AFFAIRS Of the frm have been
in hquidatiOn ever since Yesterday,
after statements of counsel, Judge
Sweat dismissed the receiver.
Messrs. Crovart & Whitfield, attor-
neys for the receiver, were awarded
$500 for services, in additR to
amounts previously receiued. Re-
ceiyer Colson was awarded $500, as a
dismissal fee, in addition to amounts
awarded previously.
The case OF IS. Mayer, surviving
oopartner of the same firm, was also
disposed Of, and the agreed upon do
crees ratified by a jury. Quite a
breeae was caused during the hearing
OF this case by the declInation of Mr..
N. d. Russell, who was a witness, to
give up a certain paper which had
been given into his possession by Mr.,
Kaufman Judge Sweat ordered the
paper given to the court, but Mr..
Russell demurred, on the ground that
it was privsts matter. Junde Sweat
announced that he would wait a few
minutes for compliance with his order,
and Mr.. Russell gave up the docu-
ment.
The big Downing insuranoe case
was then resumed, and Attorney King,
of Atlanta, concluded bis argument in
favor of the insurance companies
Court then recessed until z O'Clock
last night, when a night session was
begun, Congressman Brsnt!ey making
a very able argument.

The Famous Organization Gives Great Con-
cert Here.
The Boston Ideal club charmed the
largest Brunswick audience of the
season last night
The concert was the sixth enter
tainment Of the lyceum season It
was also the most thoroughly enjoyed.
The Ideal club is the only orgauiza-
tion of the kind on the road. Only
stringed Instruments are used--gui-
tars, banjos and mandolins. Each OF
the five gentlemen who CON ose the
organization is a master of .sch Of
these Instruments. Bfuuswic6 music
lovers had never realized Dntii last
night what a marvellous store Of har-
mony could be drawn from the ample
strings Of these familiar instruments.
1he program rendered h. 2 club
wse marked by its pleasing variety.
Every class Of music wac r, re scented
thereon, aud the result wks that low
ers Of each particular sort Of music
bad their tastes sati ,fied. There were
classical pieces that were plucked
from the passionate strings with con-
summate art and modern melodies
that made the guitars and the baDjos
laugh with ecstaey. There we're also
humorous songs, showing that the
musicians vocal chords were fully as
we'll trained as their fingers.
The trick banjo duet took the house
by storm, as did also the Indian war
dance, with its tom toms, gourds and
scalp songs. Altogether, the concert
was the most successful in the mem-
DRY of habltual Brunswick concert
goers.
The Ideal club could pack the house

DETERMINED TO
CAPTURE MANILA
insurgents Renew Their EffOrts-Panic
Inside the Walls-Spanish Loss
Estimated at 100.

MANILA, Aug. 3, via Hong Kong, Aug.
10.-The in surgents, think ng that eace
will be concluded between the United
States and Spain, and that the Ameri-
cans will withdraw from the Philip
pines, are the more strenuous in their
desires and efforts to capture Miller.
Sunday night there was heavy bonn
bardment with heavy modern shells.
It is generally believed in the city that
the Americans assisted and the papers
publish lists of Americans alleged to
have been killed.
There Is alao a report that half the
Americans have succumbed to fever and
this misstatement, with others like it,
encourages the Spaniards to maintain
their resistance.
On Sunday many shots entered the
town. Several reached the citadel
itself and it is reported that some ladies
were killed. There was a frightful
panic inside the walls, women and chill
dren shriekiDg in their terror the whole
night through.
The insurgents showered large and
small shots with such good aim that the
garrison believed the whole American
army and feet were concentrating their
fire. Many Spanish had previously re-
solved to cease fighting the moment the
Americans began, but the insurgents
have subsidized and the forts have been
reinforced from the barracks. There
has been little fighting IN other direc-
tions. The total Spanish losses are
probably 100, but many houses have
been seriously damaged.

FIVE NEGROES
WERE LYNCHED
Clarendon, Arkansas, in an UprOar---
Wife Accused of Instigating the
Murder of Her Husband Commits
Suicide.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 10.-Word
was received here at an early hour this
morning of the hanging at Clarendon of
five negroes-three men and two women
by mob. The victims were accused
of completely in the murder of John T..
Orr, wealthy hardware merchant of
Clarendon. who was shot by an assassin
several nights ago. The prisoners were
taken from the Jail during the absence
of Sheriff Jackson, who was i'll, Deputy
Sheriff Milwee, in charge of the Jail,
being unable to resist the mob.
Clarendon has been the scene of great
excitement since the killing of Orr, ana
the lynching of the FIVE negroes charged
with completely in the Grim is no great
surprise to the citizens. Orr was shot
in the back through window while in
his home last Friday night, and died the
following day. There was no clew to
the murder and even bloodhounds that
were Immediately put on the trail were
unable to run down the assassin.
After an inquest extending over two
days verdict was returned charging
Mira. Orr, the murdered mans wife,
with being the instigator of the crime.
Miss Rachel Morris, prominent young
Jewess, Manse Castle, Will Sanders,
Dennis Ricard, Rilla Weaver and Susie
Jacobs, were charged with completely in
the crime. All were placed under ar
rest except Miss Morris, who fed.
After the arrest of Mrs. Orr and the
five negroes Mrs. Orr made confession.
She admitted that she had said to her
cook that she wished her husband dead
and that she would be willing to give
$500 to anybody to kill him. But she
said that this was uttered while IN fit
of anger and that che was innocent of
any criminal intention. Her husband
abused her, she said, and once struck
her, and she being of high temper her
self sometimes said things in anger that
she did not mean.
Mrs. Orr committed suicide by taking
poison in the city Jail last night, so that
the only survivor of those charged with
the murder of Orr is Miss Morris.
