The steamer Lasselles, Captain Line

o'clock, and from what two Of the
crew, who were left here says, there
was really hot time on the wharf
Just before the ship sailed.
1t seems that the Lasselles had a
collision with the steamer Bayonne

Rico. The members Of the crew claim
that it was Captain Lind's fault and
carelessness, and for this reason thew

The simple reason that they cannot be

A News reporter heard yesterday
of the fight which occurred on the
wharf just before the ship sailed, and
the two sailors who were left here
were seen on the subject.
The men stated that they were dis.
charged when the Lassalles reached
port last week, but that Captain Lind
told one that when the ship sailed he
would be given free passage on the
return trip. He did not make this Of

1t is claimed, that he was at the
wheel when the accident occurred and
really had no business there.
The seaman who was promised the
return trip to Philadelphia reported
early "Wednesday morning learning
that the ship would sail at $3.50. He
claims that he was attacked by the
captain, who held a pistol in his hand

The two sailors are stroug in their

that they were discharged without
any reason, only that the captain did
not want them to testify against him
in the trial Of the case. Five of

WILL REMOVE
TO FAIR GROUNDS
-
New Machinery to Be In
stalled in Cotton Fact
ory Building
FORCE MAY Be REDUCED
Officials of the Road Were Out Of the
City Yesterday and Nothing Au.
thentic Could be Learned on
the Removal. -

A rumor is current in the city that
on and after June first, the Atlantic
and Birmingham railroad will abandon
the present shops, owned by the Allan,
tic Coast Line, and will remove to
the fair grounds.
While this rumor could not be con,
firmed yesterday because Of the fact
that none of the officials Of the Allan.
tic and Birmingham were in the city,
still The News learns that the report
Is correct and the work of removing
the shops, that is the material owned
by the A. & b.. will begin Immediately.
Just what will be done with the
present shops cannot be stated, but 1t
is thought that they will go back to
the Atlantic Coast Line, and that that
road will operate them in future. How,
ever the road will sonly employ men
enough necessary to keep the rolling
stock of the road at this poi1r in con,
dition. employing probably eight or ten
men.
The A. 8 B. will purchase some
machinery and will install II in the
qd cotton factory building, where
the former shops Of the Bl &c B. were.
Just how many men they will employ
at the new shops is not known, but
it is not likely that the full force
now at work in the a. G. L. shops
will be sustained.
AS is we'll known the A. 6 B. have
shops at Waycross and most of the
work will be done there. The machin.
cry to be purchased for the new shops
in this city will be up-to-date in every
respect, but 1t is not believed that
the shops will be equipped to do all
kinds OF work, and that only q SUN.
cient number of men will be maintains
ed to keep up the rolling stock of the
old Brunswick and Birmingham rail,
road.
The building at the fair grounds,
which is well suited for the purpose
for which it is to be used, will be thoR
oughly repaired as it is at present in
rather a bad condition.
Whether this change will mean that
more or less men is to be employed
in the two shops cannot be stated
just at this time. as there is no one
in Brunswick connected with either
of the roads in position to give out
anything on the subject, but 1t Ia
believed that the two shops will en-
ploy about the same number Of men
as are at present employed in the A.
& B. shops. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the Atlantic Coast Line retain
shops Of some kind in Brunswick, and
it may be that the force will be
larger number than is anticipated. The
shops also does work for the Southern
railway.
One thing isazgertain. The A. g
L. shops, eghich are well equipped, are
here. They ~ RaSIly stand idle. and
it is not probable that the machinery
will be removed from Brunswick.
The A. & B. shops to be established
at the fair grounds will be very we'll
equipped and will no doubt employ
quite force.
The News hopes to get this item
confirmed and learn some more on ths
subject as soon as the A. & B. OH
cials return to the city.
