BRUNSWICK NEWS NOTES.

Brunswick, Ca, Aug, S.-Judge
Sparks convened the City Court this
morning, and after disposing Of quite
a large number of criminal cases, took
a recess until the fourth Monday in
September. The adjournment was
taken on account of the hot weather.
Local military companies are taking
considerable interest in the state shoot
to be held in Savannah, and it is
probable that both the Brunswick Ri
flemen and the Naval Reserves will
send a team. 1t is understood that the
two companies will elect their teams
soon and commence practicing.
Under orders from Col. Gordon, OF
the First Regiment, the Brunswick
Rihemen were inspected in their
armory tonight by the commanding
officer, Capt L. A. Robinson. The
company was found to be in very
good condition.
Fire at Fancy Bluff, near this city,
Saturday, destroyed the home of Toby
Brown. Besides losing all Of his house
hold effects, $5S in cash was also de-
stroyed 1t is not known how the fire
originated.
One of the largest excursions of the
season will come to the city to-mor-
row over the Atlantic and Birmingham
Railroad. Very cheap rates have been
offered from all stations on the line,
and several hundred visitors are ex-
pected to take advantage Of low rates.

Anarchist Arrested While Preparing
to Explode Dynamite.
Madrid, Aug. 3.-The threatened gen.
eral strike commenced to-day in sew
eral centers, including Barcelona, Cadiz,
Fonda and Alcoy. The general unrest
is largely attributed to bad harvests,
but the immediate motive for the
strike is to reinforce the demand for
the release of numerous workmen who
have been thrown into prison for Of
lenses in connection with recent strikes.
The leaders of the movement are ex-
horting the members of the trades
unions not to return to work until all
The imprisoned men have been re-
leased.
The strike has already collapsed at
barcelona. where the majority of the
"0rkmen have resumed work.
The strike leaders attribute the fall
ure to the stringent measures taken
" the government. A man was ar
rested at Barcelona to-day for carry
ing dynamite cartridges, which he con-
tessed he intended to throw in a crowd

allowed to himself as commander-in-
chief. The pay of many generals and
colonels is fixed at $4,000 and upwards.
The majority of the privates will re-
ceive in the vicinity Of 5000, indicating
two and half years service.
Gen. Gomez said the total altogether
exceeds the commissions expectations,
but the claims were reviewed so care
fully that there is no doubt as to their
justice.
The decidedly unpopular idea enter
tanned by the soldier element that the
army will be paid in full does not find
much credence in administration
circles. The total amount of the
claims has caused some surprise, and
the matter is at present in an indefinite
shape, but 1t is not believed that the
government will consider it advisable
to go beyond paying the veterans pro-
portionately to the full extent of the
loan. According to present indications
the amount OF the loan will not meet
more than so to 60 per cent. of the to-
tai claims.

after the shooting of James B. Marcum,
Even told him who did the killing on
the previous day.
The main feature of to-day was the
DISCRIMINATION of Thomas White,
who was placed on the stand by the
defense, by Tom D. Marcum. Mar
cum, who is one of the attorneys for
the prosecution, is a brother of the
dead man. White corroborated Mrs.
Johnson's testimony as to CONVEX
sation between Jett and Mrs. Johnson,
but the substance of what was said,
he denied.
White said that after dinner of the
day Marcum was killed he left Jett
at his grandmother's, while Jett says
they both came to town together in
the afternoon. He said that he was
looking for Callahan Immediately be-
fore the shot was fired and that was
his reason for going into the Court
House. Miss Clark on Saturday testi-
fled that she saw Sheriff Callahan in
Hargis' front store door Immediately
before the Court House, seated in a
rocking chair until after the shots were
fired, when he sprang to the window
with a revolver in his hand.

Havana, Aug. Seen. Maxine Gomez,
the chairman of the commission deal
ing with the matter, has just completed
list of the revolutionary soldiers en-
titled to pay.
In an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent. Gen. Gomez stated
that the list consists of about $4,000
soldiers, and does not include civil en-
ployes. He believes that the pending
loan will not cover more than half the
claims, and anticipates that the Cuban
Congress will provide for the payment
of the balance in some form of due
bill, payable with interest, after con-
siderable interval and probably dis
countable and transferable. The gem

is final.
Gen. Gomez said the rate of wages
allowed to an ordinary soldier Is $1.00
a day during the period of his service.

allowed ranging from few hundred
dollars to $4,000. the later sum being

Mexico City, Aug. 3.-The third sub

has adopted a report, which, after cit

The report continues: "Our COM

metal from slate from which he ex-

From his notes, which were scan

seems he has developed new metal
from commercial slate, abundant here,
which has an affinity for atoms of
gold and silver, which he calls "Rix-

The process consists of strong
