office to phone in the alarm to the
fire department, but the flames had
made so much Roadway that the phone
line was out of commission and he had
to run to the home of J. n Wright to

The department arrived and found
there was no water in the four and a

lost before water could be secured and
when it was secured, the pressure and

COMPANY IS READY
TO ASK FORCHARTER
NELSON SLAYER
CAUGHT At LAST
AT LEAST THAT is THE REPORT
THAT is SENT OUT FROM
JESUP.

Older residents of Brunswick who
remember the murder of Conductor
James F. Nelson, of the old Brunswick
Western railroad, % years ago.
were much interested yesterday morn
ing in an article appearing in the
Savannah News under a Jesup date
line, announcing that the murderer
Tom johnson, a negro, had been cap
tured and was now in Jail in Jesup.
Johnson, according to the Jesup
item, was arrested in Augusta by
detective of that city. The negro was
returned to Jesup and it is reported
that he has been positively identified
as the murderer of the conductor.
Capt. Nelson, who was prominent
Brunswickian and a popular conduct

near Nahunta, in 1894. He was a con-
ductor on the Brunswick & Western,

his train. Various times since the
murder was committed it has been re-

MERCHANTS HAD A GOOD
EASTER TRADE LAST WEEK

A representative of The News called
on between Is and % Brunswick mer-
chants last night to find the quality of
the past weeks Easter trade. Not a
single merchant was found who was
willing to admit any dissatisfaction
whatever.
The general pulse of business as ex-
pressed by the Easter trade indicates
that Brunswckians are enjoying a sea
son of prosperity that has probably
never been surpassed in the history
of the city.
Many of the clothing merchants of
the city carried special Easter ads in
The News and the investment proved
a Splendid one with them. Their
store news was presented to a pop
uation with cash with which to buy
and not one of them feel a crouch
today and as the young people today
sport their new clothes the merchants
will look Oh with smile in having
these splendid customers.

HANGING LIKELY
ON NEXT FRIDAY
POLLARD WILL EITHER PAY THE
DEATH PENALTY OR GO TO
THE PENITENTI. RY.

Twice respited by the governor I'M
til an investigation into his case could
be made, Ashley Pollard convicted of
the murder of Celia Harvey, will know
something definite before next Friday,
the day on which he is to pay the
death penalty in the Glynn county
Jail. Pollard will either die on the
gallows or his sentence will be COM
muted to life imprisonment and he
will be sent to the penitentiary. 1t is
known that another respite will not
be granted
Although Pollard's attorney, ]. T.
Powell, has made. hard fight for the
negro's life, it is the general con-
sensus of opinion that the governor
will not interfere, which means that
the negro will die next Friday, which
will be the first hanging Glynn coun-
ty has had in almost twenty years.

handle their immense crosstie bust

day, the company already has con-
tracts for the construction of four
large fOur-masted schooners and one
or two barges, and as soon as these
are completed work will begin on 9TH
ers.
The petition for charter, which is
now in course of preparation by local
attorneys, will be completed tomorrow
and it will at once be filed, but the
company will not wait until it is grant
ed to begin work. In fact Captain
Nilsson, the marine architect who is
now in the city, will be on the scene
by the middle of the present week,
looking over the site and getting ev-
erything in readiness for active work
1t is planned to begin work on the
