BRUNSWICK’S SEW MAYOR
A Vote of the Council Pots Dunwody
in the Chair.
K&yor Lamb Maintained That He Had
Another Year to Serve But a Ma
jority of the Council Voted Acrainst
Him—Quo Warranto Proceedings to
be Instituted to Reseat Mayor
Lamb.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. I.—At the conclu
sion of the session of the city council to
day the councilmen. preceded by Hon.
• H. F. Dunwody, appeared in the council
chamber.
Superior Court Clerk J. L. Beach arose
and called Mr. Dunwody forward, when
he administered the oath of office.
Messrs. Downing, E. H. Mason and A.
H. Lane were then sworn in as aldermen.
Immediately after the new members
took their seats Aldermen Aiken, Atkin
son and Meriwether retired as old mem
bers.
Mayor Lamb continued in the chair and
Was approached by Mayor Dunwody, who
claimed his seat.
Mayor Lamb replied that, having been
•leoted for a term of two years, he should
hold over, leaving the question at present
to be decided by council. Thereupon Mr
Dunwody rapped the council to atten
tion. and stated that having qualified as
mayor he was ready to proceed to busi
ness.
LEFT TO THE COUNCIL.
Mr. Lamb stated that thebe being an
appearance of two mayors, the question
would have to be settled by council.
Alderman Mason then offered a resolu
tion that the council recognize Mr. Dun
wody as mayor-elect.
, The question was put, and Aldermen
Kennor, Downing. I cine and Mu son voted
yea. and Aldermen Joerger and Colson
voted nay.
Mayer Lamb then said: “Gentlemen,
ns a majority of the council recognizes
Mr. Dunwody, as the rightful mayor, I
can only yield, but do so under protest.
The courts must decide the question of
legality. That is all 1 desire.”
He then stepped down, and Mayor Dun
wodytook liis seat.
The council was called to order and. on
motion, adjourned to meet at the regular
time on Wednesday night.
SO ILL-FEELING DISPLAYED.
The entire proceedings were conducted
In a harmonious manner, and no ill-feel
ing whatever displayed itself in the ac
tions or altitude of either claimant for
the seat. As Mr. Dunwody stepped to
the chair Mr. Lamb extended the hand of
fellowship, and both smilingly clasped
hands. When council adjourned Mr.
Lamb, Mr. Dunwody and the Morning
News corres [iondent vvnlked up the
streets together, and both gentlemen ex
pressed themselves as having no personal
feeling towards each other.
At the meeting which nominated Mr.
Dunwody the night before the election,
when Mayor I-am!) was in Washington, it
was stated that there were no personali
ties before the people to vote on, but .as a
great difference of opinion existed among
the legal fraternity and the people as to
the mayor’s term they would hold an elec
tion which would set at rest all doubts.
DUNWODY DECLINES TO TALK.
Mr. Dunwody would not talk for publi
cation to-day, and Mr. Lamb would only
say that he would contest the seat to set
at rest ail doubts as to the legality of the
acts of the mayor the council recognized.
Two aldermen, who voted for Mr. Dun
wody to-day, stated that their action was
without personal feeling against Mr.
lamb, but merely because they believed
Mr. Dunwody was legally elected.
Mr. Dunwody hits previously stated to.
the Mousing News correspondent that
in submitting his name for the office he
meant nothing personal against Mayor
Igtmb. and nothing against him as an ap
plicant for the collect©rshlp of customs,
but merely because ho believed Mayor
Lamb's term expired this year.
LAMB OFFERS TO RESIGN.
John C. Lehman to-day submitted the
following proposition to Mr. Dunwody
from Mayor Lamb viz: “That >he,
[Lamb] would tender his resignation to
council immediately upon their being
sworn in and instruct council to proceed to
elect a mayor for his unexpired term as
the charter prescribes, and thereby legaliz
ing the acts of the council as ho did not
consider Mr. Ducwody's election legal,
and by this method stopping all litiga
tion that might arise.” This proposition
was submitted by Mr. Limb, as slated
by his friends in> the interest of peace
and harmony, and the welfare of Bruns
wick. for which ne w.is always foremost
in the work. Mr. Dunwody refused to
accept the proposition, stating that he
believed he was legally elected for two
years, and his friends would expect him
to stand by the election, and by accepting
that proposition he could only hold one
year.
Judge Courtland S.vmmes, ono.of Mr.
lamb’s attorneys, to-day stated that quo
warranto proceedings would be immedi
ately instituted to seat Mr. lamb. The
entire matter revolves itself into a ques
tion as to who is the legal mayor of Bruns
wick, and both claimants and the people
are equally interested.
DEATH OF OLD PEOPLE.
A Colored Han’s Quick and Unex
pected Death.
Lyons. Ga., Jan. I.—Yesterday, while a
negro. Alfred Jones, was building a fence
for another negro, be coughed up some
thing which appeared to be part of a lung.
A severe hemorrhage followed, which re
sulted in his death in about ten minutes.
An old lady, Mrs. Bowen, died near
here last Thursday. She was 8T years
old. One peculiar circumstance in con
nection with her death was. that a short
while before she died, one of her eyes burst
out. Mrs. G. N. Mathews, of Vidalia
also died on the same day. She was the
wife of G. N. Mathews, one of Montgom
ery county's best citizens, and a. leading
merchant of Vidalia.
A New Year Wedding.
Statesboro, Ga.. Jan. I.—A wedding
occurred in this place this moruiug at
rather an unusual hour. Mr. G. W.
Sutherland and Miss Laura Jeffcoats
came in town yesterday and applied to
Ordinary Martin for a marriage license,
but the judge refused to issue the desired
document on Sunday. So the young
couple, determined not to be outdone, put
up with the officer until after 1“ o’clock,
when a license was procured and Hev. D.
R. McElveen, who was a guest at the
house, performed the ceremony Just as
the new year rolled in. The newly mar
ried couple left about 3 o’clock a m. for
their home in the country, a distance of
eighteen miles.
ITALY'S ANARCHISTS.
Leaflets Scattered Among the Audi
ence in a Theater.
Rome, Jan. I.—During the
In the Teatro Neuvo last night, a num
ber of anarchist leaflets were thrown
among the audience by unknown persons.
No arrests were made.
The police in this city are watching the
anarchists Groppi and Innocenti, who
were recently expelled from France.
The socialists of Sienna attempted to
hold a demonstration to-day. They
gathered in force, carrying flags an t
shouting “Hurruh for the social revolu
tion.” but they were dispersed without
trouble. The town people showed no
symjAthy with them.
SCHOOLS OF THE STATE.
State Commissioner Bradwell Sends
Out a Circular.
Atlanta, Jan. I.—State School Com
missioner Bradwell has issued a circular
to the county school commissioners of the
state interpreting the new law for the
quarterly payment of teachers and giving
instructions on the future administration
of the s.-hool system. Under the new law
all teachers must be paid a salary. Upon
this head the commissioner says: “The
boards of education are authorized to
make contracts so that the amounts pay
able to teachers for services rendered
during that quarter shall fall due at the
end of the quarter. This, in my judg
ment, makes the salary plan an
absolute necessity. The pro'rata upon
average attendance cannot be ascertained
until all the schools of the county are
closed,and, therefore, under the operation
of this law that plan must be aban
doned. In order to carry out the general
plan of quarterly payments, the treaeurer
is authorized to borrow on April 1. from
any funds in the state treasury, s3oo,<*o
for the benefit of the school fund. This
loan is to be paid back when the taxes
come in.”
THE SCHOOL TEAR CHANGED.
The school year is changed. Hereafter
it must be from July 1 to June 30, so as to
coincide with the fiscal year of the
schools. The time of operating the schools
is left entirely with the county boards of
education; therefore any board of educa
tion can, on Tuesday, the second day of
January next, when this circular will be
before them, make arrangements to begin
their schools at once.
The commissioner states that the first
payment of teachers will be made on
March 31. He estimates that at that
time the treasury will have $425,000 on
hand for the schools, including the $300,-
000 borrowed from other funds.
Summing up the change in the school
law, the commissioner's circular states
the following: Quarterly payments to
the teachers, paying members of the
boards of education for actual service,
providing an office in the court house for
county school commissioners, abolishing
the Saturday institutes, and withdrawing
all pay from teachers for attending the
annual institutes.
A DECEIVED ENGINEER.
A False Light Caused Him to Bring
his Engine to a Sudden Stop.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. I.—Will Hen
dricks, an engineer on the Waycross Air
Line, was terribly frightened Saturday
night by a “Jack o' I-antern.” He was
on his engine, coming from Walter town
to this place. As he came near Kettle
Creek trestle he was making a high rate
of speed down grade. When the trestle
was reached, Hendricks saw a light just
about the centre of the trestle, and he
thought it was the head light of an en
gine. A collision he thought, was inevit
able. His first thought was to jump from
his engine down in the darkness where
he would land at a distance of fifty feet.
Then he decided to save the passengers
by reversing the engine. A
moment only was lost in
these thoughts and with a desperate pull
at the throttle the engine came to a dead
standstill and then it was reversed. Like
a flash the engine ran back a distance of
a hundred yards. The light had myste
riously disappeared. There was a driz
zling rain, and nothing could be seen on
the track. Signals were given, but no
answers were received Hendricks was
mystified. Shortly afterward lie resolved
to go slowly down to the trestle and see
what had become of the phantom head
light.
There was no sign of anything on the
track, and Hendricks decided to make
the run across the creek. The engine
leaped into the darkness and sped through
the woods. (hi reaching Waycross Hen
dricks concluded that the light was
nothing more than a “Jack o' Lantern.
A SENSATION IN COURT.
Mrs. Hall’s Libel Suit Against E. F.
Gould on at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Jan. I.—-A very sensational
libel suit for $25,000 damages was begun
in the city court to-day.
E. P. Gould, owner of a big office build
ing across from the Kimball house on
Decatur street, and generally rated as a
millionaire, is the defendant.
The plaiutiff is Mrs. Selina Cole Hall, a
handsome woman who at one time had
her art studio in the Gould building. She
left the building some two years ago. and
soon after that, through her attorney,
Col. John A. Wimpey, entered suit for
$35,000 damages against Mr.
petition to the court she alleged
that Mr. Gould had a room across the
hall from her studio, in which he was ac
customed to carry disreputable charac
ters, much to her humiliation and sorrow,
and that it ruined her business, and she
alleged further.that he had came into her
room half clad and had grossly insulted
her.
Mr. Gould published a red hot card,
the basis of the present suit, in which lie
declared that he had ejected Mrs. Hall
and her husband from his building on ac
count of their failure to pay rent.
He says that after suing them for rent ho
hud received from Mr. and Mrs. Hall
several letters threatening to accuse him
of various things if he did not pay money
to them. He accuses Mrs. Hall of black
mailing, ami the trial will turn on her
character. Witnesses to establish that
she is an adventuress, it is understood,
have beeu summoned, and will be exam
ined to-morrow.
PASSED ITS DIVIDEND.
The Glob 9 National Bank Making Up
for the Defalcation.
Providence. R. 1., Jan. I.—The Globe
National Bank to-day passed its dividend,
the result of the defalcation by Teller
Bennett. There is no longer any doubt
about the defaulter’s crooked work,
on depositors books, for some which have
come in are found to be badly mixed up.
Where customers deposited good sized
checks, Bennett. made the books balance
and then appropriated the whole sum of
the cheeks. The SI,OOO stolen on Dec. 15,
it has been ascertained, was “dropped’’
in New England stock.
SHOT DEAD BY A POLICEMAN.
The Man Killed Advancing on the
Officer With a Knife.
Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. I.—A special to

Fain was shot and instantly killed this
afternoon by Policeman Smith. Fain
was married last Tuesday. The day fol
lowing he had a bitter quarrel with
Smith. They met to-day in the depot,
and Fain, drawing a knife, started toward
Smith, who drew his revolver and fired.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of
self defence.”

Evan P. Howell, editor Atlanta (Ga ) Con
stitution, in a lengthy letter from Suwannee,
published in the Constitution of Dec. 16, 1893.
says: “While the grip is so prevalent, and as
one of its victims that found relief. I cannot
forbear giving the public one of the secrets
and best ways to get rid of the distressing
effects After suffering for two weeks with it
in Atlanta, with my head, ears and throat all
involved, bones aching, and all the other dis
agreeable symptoms- after 1 had tried medi
cines and Dr. Calhoun had blown through
both m.v ears from my nose, at his suggestion
I came here. I have been here one week, and
while I am not entirely over the effects of the
attack I am so much better that I do not hesi
tate to commend the place to any fellow
sufferer; in fact, I deem it a duty to do so.
* * * * *****
“The object of this letter is not to adver
tise the springs, but to tell my friends who
have the grip, or have had it, to come here
and get relief. The proprietor says his faith
is so hrm that any man or woman suffering
with the disease who comes and uses the
water as he directs, and remains for two
weeks or a month, and is not relieved, will
get his board free. As sure as you come you
will be paid for the trouble. I believe the
cure is as certain for dyspepsia and liver and
kidney troubles and all impurities of the
blood. Evan P. Howell.”
