MACHINE STOLEN.

formation on which to arrest the par
ty or parties who entered his auto
mobile garage at some early hour on
Wednesday morning and. after break
ing down the rear door in order to
gain entrance, took one of the ma
chimes and enjoyed ride The guilty
parties are likely to be captured, as
the officers have a good clue, and if
they are it is more than likely that
they will have to answer to charge
of burglary
1t also developed yesterday that
more than one Brunswick auto own
er has had his car taken from its place
and driven during the night, The ac-
ton of two young men in securing
Albert Fendig's large car was report
ed in these columns yesterday morn
ing, but these two young men are
not the only ones who have been in
dulging in such dangerous work.
Only few nights ago two parties
were frightened from the residence
of F. D. Aiken. They were just in the
act of stealing his electric machine
when neighbors heard them and
frightened them away
Mr.. l.. r. Akin. in conversation
with a News reporter yesterday, sta
ted that if he could get evidence
against the parties who broke into his
garage early Wednesday morning he
would prosecute them to the full ex-
tent of the law. He has an idea who
the guilty ones are and is making
an effort to secure evidence against
them.
This is new and dangerous pleas
ure resorted to by young men of the
city and the automobile owners are
now determined to put stop to it,

ers Had Narrow Escapes.
Chicago, Aug. 19.--Last night two
hundred and fifty feet of the street
bridge over the Chicago river coliaps-
ed, and ten people sustained serious
injuries, while others made narrow
escapes. Traffic over three railroads
were delayed for an hour by the ac-
cident.

a railroad viaduct underneath. The
accident occurred just after street
car had run part way across the
bridge, and thirty passengers had
alighted to walk over the dangerous
portion to take another car. The pas

group when there was loud rum
bling, followed by crash and the

STRUCK IT, TUG AMIDsHlP, AL
IA MOST SENDING HER TO
Ia THE BOTTOM.
Both Boats Were Rounding predse at
Work Near the Outer Bar, When
/ They Came oaether-Disahed Tug
/ Was Towed Into Port by the
: Steamer

The tug Angie and Nellie of the
South Atlantic Towboat company,
was rammed yesterday morning by
the steamer Dover, Of the Brunswick
Steamship company, and was serious
ly damaged. But for the fact that
the hull Of the tug is constructed Of
steel and not wood it is Believed that
she would have been sunk by the
accident
There are several explanations as
to how the collision occurred but
it seems that they are all practi-
cally the same. Of course the steam
er's captain thinks it was the fault
of the tug, while the commander of
the tug entertains the reverse idea.
From what can be learned it ap-
peared that the Dover was coming
into port and was near the large
government dredge which is at work
off the bar. The Angie and Nellie was
going to the dredge to get a party
to bring to the city. The tug was
headed for the dredge and then went
around it, disappearing from the view
of the Dover. In few minutes she
again appeared, having rounded the
dredge 1t was then seen that col
1ision was inevitable, as both boats
were within a few yards of each
other. Before the accident could be
avoided the Dover went into the An
gle and Nellie amidship on the star
board side Her side was crushed
in, the steam pipes were all broken
by the blow and she was put entirely
out of, commission. Fortunately the
engineer and fireman were both on
the deck of the tug and escaped in
jury. The crew of the Dover at once
realized that the Angie and Nellie
had been put out of business and the
tug was towad to the Bee Line termi-
mails by the steamer.
The full extent of the damages to
the tug is not yet known. AS stated
however, her starboard side was
crushed in, all of the steam pipes
were broken and she was otherwise
damaged
The tug will probably be removed
today to the plant of the Parker Hen
sell Engineering company, where the
necessary repairs will be made, but
it will be some time before she will
go into commission again, as the
damage to her starboard side is said
to be very serious.

CITY AND SUBURBAN RAILWAY
COMPANY TO BEGIN OPERA
TIoN SEPTEMBER 20.
Line is Now Complete With the Ex-
ception of Newcastle Street and
One or Two Short stretches-Hand-
some. Cars Will Arrive in the City
Early Next Month.
On September 20!

On september 70 !
That is the day that Brunswick will
hear the long looked for sound of the
gong on the trolley car a sound
which has been desired by the people
for years, but which is now just about
to be realized.
September 20 has been definitely
decided upon as the date of putting
the electric cars into operation, and,
unless some unavoidable delay occurs
in the ad interim, service will be in
augurated on the day named.
The work of completing the line Is
now nearing an end. Yesterday the
work was started on grading along
Newcastle for the second track AS
has been stated this street is to be
double-tracked from F to Mansfield.
The grading and track laying has al
ready been completed on one of the
tracks and by the end of next week
it is expected that the second will
also be finished.
Putting in Curves.
The curves, known as Special
rails" have arrived in the city and
the force is now busy putting them
down. This is the most intricate part
OF laying the track, but rapid progress
is being made. Yesterday curve was
put down at the corner of Newcastle
and Mansfield streets. Every curve
that the line makes necessitates a
special curve, which had to be meas
ured and an order sent in. Often
if this curve is one inch short or
long it cannot be used, an exact fit
being necessary.
Cars Coming.
The handsome new cars ordered by
the company some time ago will ar
rive during the first week in Septem-
Der. Five will come I'm the first ship
ment, four to be used regularly and
the other kept as an extra.
Not until yesterday was definite
date decided upon, owing to the fact
that it was hard to tell exactly when
the entire line would be comDleted,
but now with the work finished on
most of the streets, the company be-
lieves that the cars can be put into
operation on the above named date.
A definite schedule has not as yet
been arranged, but the patrons Of the
line will be given about a fifteen
minute schedule, which will no doubt
he as convenient as is expected.
