OF ALL RATES.

The board of trade met in regular
weekly session yesterday at the city
hall and took up a number of mat
ters. Among other things, the fol
lowing resolution, introduced by c.
D. Ogg, was passed:
Whereas, the Georgia Coast and

eraI freight agent, Mr.. Charles Neville
has given the dealers of Brunswick
rates which will put them into the
territory along that line on equal
terms with Savannah and thus open
up entirely new and very desirable
trade to our people.
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
board of trade of Brunswick. that ev
cry dealer here having travelling mer
on the road be urged to send them
into this territory at once and show
their appreciation of the efforts Of
the Georgia Coast and Piedmont in
our behalf by selling goods to mer
chants on their line.
The secretary of the board of trade
has been supplied with list of rates
to different points, (which he will
gladly furnish to the merchants or

Mr.. Neville, the general freight
agent OF the road, comes to Brunswici

VERY DESIRABLE PROPERTY
Large Double Residence Now Stands
On the Site, But Big Business
Building May Soon Be
Erected.

Another big deal for Brunswick
property was finally conslmmated yes
terday morning, involving sum of
$4,000, when H. c. McFadden, the
we'll known general freight and pas
senger agent of the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic Railroad Company,
purchased the valuable residence
property at the corner of Gloucester
and Reynolds streets, ON which is To-
Gated a large double-residence at pres
ent occupied by julius May and Julius
Levy.
This property was purchased from
the Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Co.
which has owned it for the past sew
eral years. 1t is considered one OF
the best sites in the city for bus
mess structure AMI the chances are
that such a building will be erected
on the lot.
Mr.. McFadden was in the city yes
terday but he was not in position to
say exactly what would be done with
the property; whether he would at
some later day remove his headquar-
ters to Brunswick and reside here,
whether he had purchased it merely
for an investment and would leave the
present double residence on the site
or erect large business building.
Mr.. McFadden has had an option
on this property for some time, and
came to the city yesterday for the
purpose of closing it and taking charge

THE DARiEN LAUNCH SADIE
WAS BADLY DAMAGED.

The Darien launch Sadie. owned by
r. A. Strain, will be towed to this port
tonight by the steamer Hessie to be
repaired by Vincent Jones. the ship
carpenter.
Some days ago the launch, which,
by the way, is a handsome one, was
almost completely wrecked by an ex-
plosion of gasoline. A party of fish
ermen were preparing to take trip
and in some way the pet-cock was left
open and twenty gallons of gasoline
escaped. AS soon as some member
of the party struck a match the ter
rife explosion occurred, but, strange
to say, no one was seriously injured.
The launch, above the waters edge,
was almost completely demolished,
but the hull is alright and the boat
will be almost entirely rebuilt by Mr..
Jones,
