THE RECENT RUMORS IN
STEAMSHIP CIRCLES. ~
Brunswick Steamship Company Has
Been Purchased BY the Clyde
Line-Latter Will Continue to Use
the South End Terminals. >

Steamship rumors have been flying
around Brunswick with such q rapid
ity during the past ten days, that it
has been impossible to run down any
of them and get anything official.
First it was announced, by what was
| thought to be good authority, that
the Mallory line was to return; then
came the report that the Clyde line
was to return, and now comes the
announcement, and it comes from a
more authentic source than either OF
the others, that the Brunswick
Steamship company has been absorb
ed by the Clyde line and that an an
nouncement to that effect will be Of
ficially made in New York within O.
few days.
The News has printed the two pre-
vious reports for what they were
worth. The Mallory report was cir
culated by what was considered good
authority, while. the Clyde rumor
came from a Jacksonville paper and,
according to the reported program,
was correct in almost every particu-
lar.
The News, while no official confirm
ation has yet reen made, is in posi-
tion this morning to state that deal
shas-been closed whereby the Bee Line
has been absorbed hy the Clyde line,
and while all the details as to the ser
vice Brunswick is to receive have
not yet been arranged, it is known
that this port will enjoy excellent
freight and passenger service to New
York ~ A,-4E
1t is understood that by the deal,
the Clyde line will continue t5 use
the south end terminals, that it will
take care of all of the business now
handled ly the Bee Line and will, in
a manner, work in connection with
the A, B. & A, railroad.
Just what will be done with the
present ships Of the Bee line is not
yet known. 1t may be that one or
two cf T., EN- will be operated between
Brunswick and New York for the
freight BUSINESS exclusively, while
they may bg used by the company in
other business. &c.,. ...I-1-.
The report, however is to the eff
fec that these present freight steam
ers will not be used at all in the
New York-BrunsWick run, i5ut that
the freight business will be hand
led by the passenger ships. There
will be sailing from Brunswick ev-
cry other day, while a ship will also
leave for Jacksonville three times a
week, which will give this port a ship
day.
1t is understood that full particu-
lars Of the deal will he announced in
a few days and until that time the
full details will not he known, but
from amOst every viewpoint it ap-
ears that Brunswick is to be bene-
fitted by the deal. Il will give the
city a first-class passenger service to
New York, something that has long
been needed, and will also give the
people a water route to jacksonville.
affording a very pleasant days water
trip.
1t is also stated thai while the
steamers will use the present Bee
Line terminals, that city delivery
will be established whereby the local
merchants can secure their freight
without having to send a mile or two
for it.
AS stated, while nothing Official
has yet been given out, the above
facts were secured from a source in
position to know; there is no doubt
that the deal has been consummated
and some definite announcement will
be awaited with interest by the peo-
pie Of Brunswick
