Brunswick, Ca, June 14.-Judge Ben
nett to-day rendered his decision in
the case of the Brunswick and Florida
Steamboat Company VS.. Coney &
Parker, owners of the steamer Egg
mont, and granted an injunction pro-
hibiting the Egmont from landing at
the wharf at st. Simon pier. This case
has attracted considerable attention
among the people of Brunswick gen
orally and the decision has been looked
for with interest.
Judge Bennett holds that the wharf
at ST. Simon is a private landing and
that no boat has the right to land there
unless given permission from the own
ers.
The whole affair grew out of a re-
cent combine made by the Brunswick
and Florida Steamboat Company ana

81 YEARS WITH CARLINES.
Mr.. WilIett Retires After Nearly a
Third of a Century's Service.

Mr.. WnIett Retires After Nearly a
Third of a Century's Service.
Mr.. George NJ. Willett, the veteran
street railroad man, retires from ser
vice to-day after thirty-two years of
arduous duty. There is probably no
man better known to those who have
travelled over the suburban lines than
Mr.. Willett When he became an en-
gineer or the railroad the Whitaker
street line was the only street car SER
vice in the city The route was from
the corner of Bay and Bull, through
Whitaker street to Anderson street.
This was a horse car Service. At An
derson street a steam car service ran
to Isle of Hope, and a few years later
to Montgomery.
Until the introduction of electricity
Mr.. Willett ran locomotive. Since
the change he has been motorman
on the suburban lines. The name OF
the railroad and it's ownership have
both changed. The road was in
COrporated as the Savannah, Skidaway
and Seaboard Railroad, and in con-
sodation with other lines it became
the City and Suburban Railway. AS a
leased line it was a part of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway, and now it is the property
Of the Savannah Electric Company.
During all of these changes Mr.. Will
lett changed not; he held on to his
throttle or controller, and no accident
marks his record when on duty. His
only mishap was twenty-five years
since while on hand car
which was thrown off the track at the
small trestle across the channel of
Cuyler swamp, near where the bridge
now spans the Casey canal. A mis-
creant had placed an obstruction
across the track and the hand car,
going down grade at rapid rate, was
hurled into the creek. Mr. Willett es-
capped unhurt, but his companion was
killed.
The officers of the railroad company
and the public regret the engineer
and motorman's retirement. Mr.. Will
lett is an experienced sportsman and
boatman and proposes to enter the
business of boating. He has purchased
a fine vessel, in which he will do an
extensive fishing and trading business
In the inland waters around and to the
south of Isle of Hope.
