the honored guests of the occasion.
Colonel Watres received the ar
mory from the contractors, and Ma

j. Kelley, of Company e. The speech
of the Governor, a fervent patriotic
effort, was followed by a forceful
address by Adjutant General Stewart
Honesdale, naturally, is proud
of it's fine new armory, which is q
credit alike to the town and the
National Guard. The building con-
sists of main floor and a basement
under the entire structure. The hal

veterans of the G. A. R. they being
given the position of honor, both il

Premier Working Hard.

Pekin, Dec. 23.-Premier Yuan Shi
Kai continues to exchange frequent
telegrams. 1t is understood here that
he desires to have all the differences
settled in advance of the formal sit
tings of the peace conference so that
the sole business of the delegates OF
the imperial government and of the
revolutionary party will be to sane
ton the decision already arrived at.
Government officials here insist that
the throne will be retained, but there
is a difference of opinion as to what
form the monarchy will take in the
future.
Yuan Shi Kai has been endeavoring
to propagate the view that foreign in
terference will be detrimental to both
parties, evidently hoping that his ac1
ton will bear weight during the me-
gotiations at Shanghai.

COURT DECIDES
4 LOCAL CASE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH WINS OUT
FOR POSSESSION OF HABER-
SHAM PARK PROPERTY.

The supreme court of Georgia has
just rendered a decision which is of
much interest locally and which in
wolves the possession of a number of
lots in the tract of land in the cas-
tern portion of the city known as Ha-
bersham park. The fight for the prop
erty was between the Episcopal
church and F. H. Huger, executor, and
resulted in victory for the church.
Mrs. Fannie E. Habersham, before
her death, made a deed to the prop
erty to the Episcopal church with the
understanding that a church be eerec-
ted on the site in memory OF her hus-
band, John Habersham. The church
at once assumed possession of the
property and continued to hold it for
a number of years. Later, however,
FIJI. Huger, acting as executor, claim
ed the property for the estate, on the
ground that the church had not car
ried out the provisions of the deed,
insomuch as no church had been erec-
ted on the property.
Whitfield & Dart, of this city. and
Edward S. Elliott, of Savannah, rep
resenting the church, brought eject
ment proceedings taking from the
executor the possession of the prop
erty. At the May term of the Glynn
superior court the case came up for
trial and Judge Conyers directed a
verdict in favor of the church. r. D.
Meader, representing the executor,
then appealed the case to the supreme
court, and the decision of that tri-
bunal has just been rendered, uphold
ing the action of the local court.

CAPTURE BULLION
WORTH $65O,OOO
BAND OF CHINESE BRlcANDs At
TACK IMPERIAL CONVOY AND
MAKE A BIG HAUL,

Harbin, Manchuria, Dec. ga band
of Chinese brigands today attacked
an imperial convoy which WAS on sne
way to Kirin with large amount of
bullion. The robbers carried off sum
of $S50,00O.
The number of brigands in the
province of Kirin has increased rap
idly since the beginning of the poll
tical disturbances and the conse-
quent unsettled condition of all parts
of the country. Many soldiers have
deserted from the army and have
joined the ranks of the brigands and
now live openly by plunder.
Murders occur frequently along the
highroads and the brigands even at
tack settlements of considerable size
in which they loot the stores and do
not hesitate to murder the inhabi-
tants if they offer any resistance.

DOR BRYCE "WlLL THIS
TIME" STAND FOR ENGLAND.

London, Dec. 23.-The treaty of 1902
between Great Britain and the, Uni.
ted States is quoted today against
President Tafts suggestion in his
message to congress on December 81,
that preferential treatment be ac-
corded American ships passing thru
the Panama canal.
After reproducing the clause of ar
ticle III. of the treaty relating that
the canal shall be open to the ves-
sells of all nations on terms of entire
equality in respect of the conditions
or charges of traffic or otherwise. the
Pail Mall Gazette comments on Pres
ldent Taft's proposal as follows: "It
might be good business. for the Uni
ted States if she gets over the trifling
difficulty that she has solemnly un-
dertaken that she would do nothing of
the kind. We trust that Sir Edward
Gray, the British foreign secretary,
VIII take steps to make the British
view perfectly explicit and that even
British Ambassador Bryce at Wash
lngton will for once show some vigil
lance on behalf of our commercial in
terests.''

ReVoIutionists Impatient.

Marking, China, Dec. 23.-The pres
ent temper of the revolutionary troops
in this vicinity gives ground for the
fear that the armistice now existing
between the two forces may be brok-
en-, and that a serious encounter may
occur in the territory to the north Of
the town of Pu Kow. et
Within the last two weeks Chang
Hsun, who was formerly i'll command
of the imperial government troops at
Marking, and who was incorrectly re-
ported to have been killed, has re-
ceived heavy reinforcements both Of
men and guns.
With these troops he has advanced
to the south as far as Su Chow An,
retaking many towns and living uMSr
the country as he marches.
In the meanwhile the revolutionary
forces have advanced northward to
Lin Wei Kwan with strong support
ing columns of troops to the left and
right, occupying the best positions.
Chang Hsun has commandered the
entire northern section of the Tien
Tsin-Pu Pow railway, including the
whole of the rolling stock. The revo-
lutionary forces, on the other hand,
hold the southern section of the ra1l-
way. I
The Chang Hsun force is about ten
thousand strong, while the army of
the revolutionaries numbers only fif-
teen thousand. A distance of less than
one hundred miles separates the op-
posing forces.
Chang Ksun declares that he will
retake Nanking, while the southern
(or revolutionary forces are keen to
advance on Pekin.
The revolutionariess, both officers
and men, are firmly convinced that
the conference between the delegates
of he two parties now taking place
at Shanghai is merely a ruse to afford
Chang Hsun the time to concentrate
his reinforcements and to enable the
imperial government forcess to
strengthen their positions.

AT SO HE'S A HOLD-UP
MAN IN BAD CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The oldest man
ever arrested, and, the police believe,
in the world, charged with highway
robbery, was taken into custody last
night. He is William R. Ely, SO years
old.
Ely, with a younger man, entered
an Englewood real estate office and
attempted to hold up L. S. Jameson,
a clerk Ely is alleged to have point
ed a revolver at the clerk directing
him to hold up his hands.
Jameson obeyed, but while the
younger man was searching the office
for money, the former sprang at the
old man and wrenched the weapon
from his grasp. The young man fed
during the commotion and Ely was
overpowered and locked up.

MEN AT WORK AT TURPENTINE
PLANT FALL TO BOTTOM
OF TANK. !
While All of Them Were More or
Less Injured in the Fall, Only One,
1t is Thought, is in Any Danger.
May Be Injured Internally.

Five men were more or less injured
yesterday morning shortly after Z
O'Clock at the plant of the Southeas-
tern Yaryan Naval Stores company,
when large scaffold, on which they
We're working, gave way, falling with
the men on it, into the bottom OF a
large turpentine tank, thirty five feet
below.
The men injured were John Brown,
r. A. Amerson, Roy Kilinsworth, Wal
ter Manning and Peter Washington,
colored. 1t seems that these men
We're all engaged in work on one of
the large tanks and were on the scaf-
fold inside the tank when suddenly
it gave way and they all went down in
one heap to the bottom of the tank.
1t was at first feared that the men
had been fatally or seriously injured.
hurry call was sent to the city and
the hospital ambulance was soon at
the factory. The men were all placed
in it and brought to the city and re-
ceived medical attention at once, Drs.
G. w. Blanton and |. N. Bishop being
called.
While all of the men received pain
full injuries from the fall and we're
more or less injured, only one, r. W.
Amerson, appears to be seriously hurt
in The fall. He suffered considerable
pain and the physicians are of the
opinion that he is injured internally,
though they will not be able to know
definitely until today. The man was
removed to his room on Union street
and was reported to be resting easy
last night, altboughg it is believed he
was seriously injured
The other men were all cared for
by The physician, their injuries being
dressed quickly as possible. Some of
them received painful bruises from the
fall, but, fortunately, none of them
sustained any broken bones, which
really seems marvellous, as they fell
distance of thirty-fve feet into the
bottom of the tank.
Just what caused the sccaffold to
give way is not known, but it is
thought that 1t was not securely fas-
tened with the ropes.

City Prisoners Petition Mayor To
Give Them Holiday For Christmas

the matter under consideration, with
the final result that at IL o'clock eg-
cry prisoner in the jail, including wo-
men who were serving as cooks, were
liberated. Some Of the prisoners had
only few more days to serve before
the expiration OF their sentence, 9TH
ers had just started to serve their
time, but they@ were all liberated
alike, with the understanding, however
that they report back for duty Tues
day morning.
The mayor has confidence in the
prisoners and he believes that every
one Of them will be on hand Tuesday,
and, in that event, 1t is more than
likely that he will give them their
freedom with a lecture that they not
appear before him again on any charge
during the year. One or two Of the
prisoners released yesterday had only
a few more days to serve and they
were then given their freedom for
good.

shining coins which it is usual to
distribute at this season Of the year
to persons and institutions which wish
them for Christmas gifts had been
virtually exhausted. individuals who
wished small amounts of new cur

BAD WEATHER
DID NOT KEEP
CROWD At HOME
THE NOISY SATURDAY,
CHRISTMAS CROWDS MADE
WTHINGS LIVELY LAST NIGHT,
Extra Police Were on Duty and the
Crowd Was an Orderly One, Ex-
cept Many Violated Ordinance
Against Discharsing Fireworks.

Brunswick was a very noisy little
city last night from 6 o'clock on thru
until after midnight, and one could
easily have understood that it was
the Saturday-night-before Christmas.
Despite the very inclement wealth
er, the usual crowds were out and
they started the noise making early.
The small boy, with his pop-stick, fire
cracker and tin horn, was joined by
the older ones with their dangerous
cannon cracker and fog horns, and,
at times, Newcastle street sounded
like the scene of a pitched battle be-
tween two fighting armies.
Ten or twelve extra police were
put on duty and they had but little
trouble in maintaining order. Mayor
by, yesterday instructed the police
81 3nent to be lenient with petty
u 0rs and not to make any arrests
ur%ass it was necessary, consequently
MANY who violated some law of minor
importance during the Christmas pc
riod were given a lecture and told not
to repeat the act.
The police, however, had some diff
f1culty in stopping the firing of fire.
works right in the heart of the busi-
ness section. Large cannon crackers,
sending out a report louder than that
Of six-inch gun, were discharged all
over Newcastle street, while the
smaller explosives were fired with
such rapidity that the noise resem-
blsed mimic war. The police cap
tured one or two discharging the fire
works and placed them on the doc
ket.
AS for accidents, serious fights,
ETC., not serious one was reported
to the police during the night One
or two small injuries by the dis
charge of fireworks, ETC., was the ex-
tent of injury received in Brunswick.
