AN ALDERMAN
FROM EACH WARD
NEW ELECTION LAW WILL. BE
EFFECTIVE AT COMING
CITY ELECTION.

While not very many people seem
| to know it, when Brunswick holds an
! election in November for mayor
and four aldermen, it will be different
from any ever held in the city, mas
lmuch as the four aldermen to be
elected will come from the four wards
of the city. This bill providing for
this change was passed at the last
session of the legislature. - =
Council will, it is expected, at an
Iearly date, district the city. 1t will
be some little trouble in properly sep
arating the four wards, as they will
lbe divided as to population and not
area.
| However, it is thought that ward
No. l will take in all voters from
London street south; ward No 2 will
take in all those living from the
north side of London street to the
south side of Gloucester; Ward No
3 will probably be from the north side
of Gloucester street to H or I streets
and ward No. north to the city
limits. = Of course this has not been
decided as yet, but the division will
be almost as above outlined, with
probably one or two changes. Each
ward will furnish one alderman, the
mayor, of course, to come from any
section Of the city.

DOROTHY WILL
GO ON NEW RUN
THE LITTLE STEAMER LEFT ON
FRIDAYfFOR. TAMPA-HAS
NOT BEEN SOLD.

The little steamer Dorothy, ownl
by syndicate of local steamboat men
left port Friday morning for Tampa
where she goes to run on a regular
daily schedule between Tampa and
Sarasota. The Dorothy left in com
mand of Capt E. B. Dudley, while his
brother, John Dudley, went&as engi
neer, and both of them will continue
on the boat in Tampa
The Dorothy has not been sold OF
chartered to a Tampa company bui
will be operated on her new run by
her Brunswick owners. The run. II
is understood, is a very popular one
and it is expected that the Dorothy
will enjoy good business. Sarasota
is resort about thirty miles from
Tampa and the steamer will make
one trip day to and from Tampa.
The steamer Dorothy was purchased
several years ago by several local
steamboat men to ply between Bruins
wick and st. Simon mills, taking the
place of the steamer Egmont. She
was kept on that run until the mills
closed, when there was not sufficient
traffic to warrant a boat running to the
mills.
Both Captain and Engineer Dudley
will make their homes in Tampa, but
their families will not remove there
just at present.

DICKCROKERCOMING
OVER TO HELP
BRYAN
FORMER TAMMANY LEADER, IT
is STATED, WILL RETURN TO
THIS COUNTRY TO HELP THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Richard
Croker, former leader of Tammany
hall, will come to America next month
to lend the weight of his influence to
the effort to elect William j. Bryan,
president. He is expected to leave
Queenstown for New York on or about
september is.
This is the information that came
yesterday from close friends Of Rich
ard Croker, Jr., and Edward Cahill,
the two men in New York most init
mately acquainted with the plans Of
the old chief of Tammany Hall His
coming is expected to cause rejoicing
in the ranks of TammaTE, where the
personal influence of their former
chief is still strong.
Had Made Promise.
Mr. Croker's plan to come to this
country to helg SIr. Bryan is in line
with a promise made by him to the
l,ebraskan when the latter left Ires
land on the last lap of his recent
world tour. Mr.. Croker. accompanied
Mr. Bryan to his ship and assured him
that in the event he was nominated
by the democrats he, Mr.. Croker,
would do everything in his power to
bring about his election. Further than
this, while Mr.. Bryan was in New
York in the early summer Mr.. Croker
sent a personal message to him eX-
pressing the hope that the Democrats
would again nominate him. j..
Richard Croker, Jr., with his l9ide,
left New York for his fathers home
in Ireland a week ago Thursday and
was followed by Mr.. Cahill. Both
young Mr.. Croker and MI. Cahill will
return to New York with the elder
Mr.. Croker in September.
To Help Bryan Only.
In announcing his intention to come
to New York to aid Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Croker is reported to have said that
he had no intention whatever of
taking any further part in the New
York political game than such as was
necessary to aid Mr. Bryan. Other
phases of the situation, he said, he
had no intention of interfering with,
and would return to Ireland as soon
as he had accomplished what he
could to further the interests Of the
democratic nominee.
When it was announced that Mr.
Croker had sent to New York his un-
qualified Endorsement Of Mr.. Bryan
for the nomination, it caused a sour
rying about of certain Tammany lead
ers. The news that Mr.. Croker is
to follow up his Endorsement for the
nomination by his personal effort to
elect Mr.. Bryan is expected materially
to accelerate the activity of Tammany
leaders in the campaign Despite Mr.
Croker's severing of official relations
between himself and the organization
of -vN' h he was so long the head, his
pei al opinions still have great
VIZ with thousands of his former
hough Mr.. Croker was opposed to
M BRYAN in 1896, he soon afterward
re 'sed his opinion of the Nebraskan,
and fer ten years the personal rela-
tions between them have been grow
ing closer

Market prison tonight by hanging her

NOW GETTING READY
TO RECEIVE TAX MONEY

Tax COLLECTOR Read is at present en-
gagged in filling out the tax receipts
and preparing the new digest. This is
all that can be done at this time, be-
cause of the fact that the state tax
rate has not been received and the
county tax rate will have to be reck-
oned according to the state rate
Tax Collector Read however, antici-
pates no material change in the rate,
as it is unlikely there will be any
reduction and the rate wiz hardly be
raised. When the rates are made the
books will be hurried to completion
in order to be ready to receive the
amounts due. 1t is expected that this
information will be received in the
city before, September.
