DEATH Of NEGRO
CAUSES TROUBLE
-
Thought That Pompey
Seven was Poisoned by
His Roommate
FRANK HAMILTON ARRESTED
coIored Physician Refused to issue
Death Certifcate-sister saf the
Dead Negro Believes There
is Foul Play.

Was Fompey Seven, the we'll known
colored longshoreman, who died very
suddenly early Tuesday night poisoned
by his room mate, Frank Hamilton,
or did he die from an aggravated case
of brain fever?
This is the question which is now
troubling the minds OF Seven's sister
and Frank Hamilton, roommate of the
deceased, who is now languishing in
the county Jail at her instance.
The facts in the case, briefly put,
are as follows: Hamilton and Seven
for several months have been rooming
together at the corner of Wolf and L.
streets. For the past two or three
weeks, it is claimed, some bad feeling
has existed between them, and at 3
o'clock Thursday night, Seven was
found in an unconscious codiJion in
the yard near the rear entrance to
his room. DR.. j. w. Buggs, the well
known colored physician was summon
ed, but before he could prescribe for
his patient, Seven died.
In the meantime, Susan Seven, sis,
ter OF the dead man, swore out war
rant charging Hamilton with admins
tering arsenic with poisonous intent.
Hamilton was arrested. was placed in
Jail and still remains there.
Later E2 the day Dr.. Buggs refused
to sign , burial certificate Tn The
ground that there were several evi-
dences Of foul play. Coroner Jen-
nings, however was called into ac-
ton and under his instructions, the
body was inferred in Greenwood cem-
etery.
The Longshoresmen's union, Of
which Seven was prominent member
attended the funeral in body more
than 600 Of them being present.
Pompe5 Seven was one of the best
known c1lored men in Brunswick, and
the mysterious circumstances sur
rounding his death are attracting gen
eral attention among the colored peo-
pie of TIE city.
DR.. Bugs was seen by News re-
porter last night and he says that
while there were no actual symptoms
nf nrjeCr inc before the death of the
patient there was really some doubt
in his m:nd about it and for that rea-
son he refused to make the usual doc
tors ce tiflcate Hamilton, the ac-
cused, is still in Jail and will probably
be given preliminary hearing some
time dun ing the day.

CHICAGO IS TO
GET CONVENTION
- n
Republicans will Hold Nat
ional Meeting in the
Windy City
COMMITTEE NOW IN SESSION
Several Other Cities are Bidding for
the Convention But it is Be-
lieVed That Chicago VIII
Secure it.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 11.-The cit.
lzens' committee gathered in Wash.
| ngton from various cities to boom
] their towns as proposed meeting
places OF the Republican National Con.
vention in 1904 are increasing rapidly.
Pursuant to the call Of Chairman Han
ma the Republican National Committee
went into session at the Arlington ho-
tel today. Today's session is solely
for the purpose of appointing sub
cmmittees and the claim of cities as.
piring to entertain the national con
vention will not be heard until tomor,
row
An exceedingly active competition
to secure the national convention is
in progress among the delegations
representing several cities, and to-
night, when all the national commit
teemen and all the city delegations
will be here, hard work will be done.
The delegation representing the HON
llton Ciub of Chicago, which was the
earliest to put in an appearance ana
secure headquarters at a leading ho-
tel, was strengthened bY the arrival OF
several more Chica goaGs today.
Chicago is prepared to put up the
50,0J0guarantee ana also to Offer an
additional $4,000 10 equip the Coli
scum as place 1or holding the con
venti0n 1t appears at present that
a majority Of the national committees
men favor Chicago as the meeting
place, but the contest has not reached
point where any particular city can
claim a definite assurance Of having
won the light. In addition TO Chicago
the cities of New York, pittsburg.
Buffalo, Cleveland Omaha, Detroit,
Milwaukee, indianapolis and san Fran
cisco have made preliminary bids for
the convention. The majority of these
however, have dropped out OF the fight
and only few viii present their
claims to the committee tomorrow.
The meeting OF th4e committeeman
has given rise to many reports and
much speculation as 10 what will be
done by the committee regarding the
presidential campaign OF next year.
From statements recently published
there seems u he an Impression that

THAT L|GHTSH|P
FOR BRUNSWICK
-
The Commerce Committee
Renders a Favorable
Report
500, 900 is RECOMMENDED
Expected That Bill Will be Passed
When it Comes Up Before Con-
gress for Final Action-Ship
is Much Needed.

1t looks as if Brunswick will get that
lightship which Congressman Brant
ley has been after for some time
and the senate committee on com
merce Thursday reported favorably
On the bill. recommending the ap
preparation OF $1O0,0G0 to erect and
place a liShtship off the outer bar OF
this port.
It will be remembered that Con
gresham Brantley introduced a bill
for this lightship at the last session
rf congress, but,after the committee
considered the bill for some time, il
went over without 1eing favorably
reported upon.
As soon as Mr.. Brantley reached
Washington this year he commenced
to work for an appropriation for the
lightship and has succeeded in get
ting the committee to report favora-
bly,, which practically means that it
will be passed when it comes before
congress.
Mr.. Brantley has had the co.opera
ton of southern, as well as Other
ports on the Atlantic coast in his eff
forts to secure the lightship. US it is
known to marine men generally that
a ship of this kind is badly needed
off the Brunswick bar.
1t is expected that the bill will come
UP before congress in the course Of 8
rev weeks ana will. in all probability
be passed.

pieces in the mechanism of the clock
and the wheels were sawed with a ma
chine given Mr.. Dewey several years
ago. The saving machine was used
in the manufacture of clocks in this
city about seventy years ago and it
was the gift of the machine that first
brought the idea of building the clock
to Mr.. Dewey's mind. The face of
the clock is handsome affair having
a polished brass hour dial with mother
of pearl inlaid in the second and CAL
ender dials. The clock also has a
moon directory above its face. There
