Ga., Oct. 8.—Joseph M. Brown, of Marietta, was elected governor of Georgia yesterday by a majority of more than 100,000 over hit — Yancy Carter, an independent. J00,000 over hit opponent, . ir, an independent. The election ended one of the moat remarkable campaigns In the political his- torlal nomination of his party there many who thought he had no - winning it. Against him was man who had onlv two y*u._ tvon the nomination for governor by unprecedented majority, and who had every reason to think that he would again sweep the state. He won In the primary by a majority of 10,000. and. that too, without mak ing a speech or visiting the different parts of the state. He simply remained In his campaign headquarters and directed it. The people did the rest. Complete though unofficial returns show 74.075 votes majority fronj 102 counties. Returns from eighty-seven coun ties give the disfranchisement amend ment a majority of 34.319, and If this ratio holds up the total majority will run higher than 50,000 votes. Brown carrrled every countv In the state save two—Chattooga and Gor don. Ho carried Carter's home coun ty of Hart, and received a majority In Carter's own precinct. Brown’s majority Is the largest ever received by a candidate for governor of Georgia In a regular election. It Is nearly double the total vote polled by Governor Terrell, in 1904, when he had no opposition. Interest in the election really cen tered about the disfranchisement amendment, and the negroca In the south Georgia counties cut the ma jority down considerably. The amend ment received Its largest vote In the north Georgia counties. The estimate of Carter’s total vote hinges upon the presumption that about 325,000 or 330,000 votes, In all, •were polled. The total vote for governor In yes terday's election can only he estl mated for the present. The official figures will not be formally announced until next summer, when the legisla ture will consolidate the voto of each county and declare the result. Press reports from county sites.

Godbold, chief special agent for the Atlantic Coast Line, when old ac quaintances meeting him on One street yesterday first stared at him, then seemed startled and frightened, and finally ran forward to shake his hand. He could not understand whether a new hat he was wearing svas responsible for tho sudden ex hibition of friendship or whether he bad been asleep, like Rip Van Win kle, for a number of years without knowing it and had just awakened. For a long time this was kept up until soma ono finally enlightened him by telling him that scores of his friends in Savannah on Monday learned that In u desperate fight with train robbers he had yield'd up his life, not, however, before h« Oiad ob tained two comrades on his trip to tho happy hunting grounds. Mr. God- bold denies that he Is non est. He as serts, liko Mark. Twain, that the re port of his death Is greatly exagger ated, and that it Is really he and not his ghost that la greeting friends.

NEGROES POSTED SAYS MONNETT NOTICES ON GINS In Reply to Standard Attor ney, Stands By Bribery Proposal Charge KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Oct. 8—Frank B. MonnetL ex-attorney general of Ohio, while in this city replied to the statement of the Standard Oil Com pany's attorney, recently made public at Cleveland. After reading the statement Mr. Monnett said: "What a pack of mallolous lies.” He then dictated a statement In which he took up in detail and dcnle-I S. H. Tolies’ statements as to the supreme court proceedings. He con cluded: "This same 8. H. Tolies, who gives out this Interview, In company with Larry Neal, both attorneys of record for the Standard Oil Company, were the attorneys 1 referred to In my in terviews as asking tho court to have me stop taking the deposllons before E. B. Dillon of Columbus, Ohio. "No one ever said that the Standard OH Company called a meeting of the board of directors and passed resolu tions ordering 1500,000, or any other sum, to be Invested In the attorney general of Ohio. If all that C. ! B. Squires said was true. I did not expert to establish by testimony that the board of directors officially acted and ordered anybody to be bribed, but l did Intend to show whethor Squires had received a telegram from Abwer McKinley, or whether Charles N. Has kell or Rockefeller had been at any time at Squires’ house, -or whether Squires had been In town with them, or whether Haskell or McKinley had offices In New York, at No. 42 Broad street, at that time. I did Intenl to find out. If possible, how Squires l.now Senator Foraker had had a conference with me at Washington on tho Stan dard OH case,, and how fie knew a settlement was contemplated by the Standard Oil Company through Fora ker. If he was dreaming all of this It was a happy coincidence, and one worthy careful Investigation from a psychological standpoint. "Mr. Tolies forgets to quote, all of Squire's interview In the New York World, whero he says he knew all of these parties for many years prior to the statement wherein Squires cor roborated my original charge that he was to have immunity if he gnve up the real parties. And he forgets that Squires claimed he was being backed in his Manhattan Fire Insurance Com pany case by the Standard OH people, and forgets Squires remained out of Ohio, as far as I have been able to ascertain, and has remained In Naw York ever since the attempt at brlb ery." , _ BANK EXAMINERS TO WORK JNJISTRICTS REPORT TO CHAIRMEN WHO COM PILE REPORTS SHOWING IN DETAIL CONDITIONS.

WASHINGTON, OcL 8.—For almost four hours today Col. W. F. Stewart, of the army, struggled but In vain with the retiring board, before which ho has been ordered, to obtain permis sion to summon witnesses to prove thut he is not Incapacitated for army service and thnt therefore he should not be arbitrarily retired. AftctuLho verbal testimony of Col. W. 11. Ar thur and MaJ. Guy L. Eflle, of the medical corps, and who are members of tho retiring board. Col.. Stewart proforred his request for tho summon ing of other witnesses. Ho gavti tho names of thirteen witnesses whom ho desired to havo called, and when he fulled to obtain tho board's pcrmla- slnn Mia attorney announced that the colonel himself would take tho stand In support of his plea that he Is c pable of performing the duties of colonel in tho const artillery. The Surneons' Report When the board convened J. W. Latimer, counsel for Col. Htqwart proceeded to cross question Col. Ar- board on the condition of Col.' Stew art's health, noth stntod that Col. Stewart Is afflicted with heart disease to such an .extent that any over-exar- tlon might result disastrously to him. The fact was brought out that Col. Htownrt has been u victim of heart disease for tho past t'hlrty-llvo years, and reforeneo was made to a docu ment on tile In tho war department showing that as early as 1877 he had requested to bo excused from partic ipation In an Indian expedition be muse of an affection of tho heart and rheumatism. Both of tho medical ex perts refused to make statements bearing upon Col. Stewart’s previous dltlon continued he would bo fairly eomfortuble, but much would depend upon exertion he might bo subjected to. Continuously On Duty. After t'he army surgeons had left the stand Mr. Latimer linked pormla- T.Vm to show by tho record that during the past twenty-five yearn tho colonel Imd been nlmost continuously on duly. Recorder Howland said that he was willing to admit that Col. Stewart had performed nil the did leg assigned to him and bad very seldom required Jeavo of absence. He made tho point that no showing’ of tho kind contem plated could have nny bearing upon the patient’s present condition of health, and tU« board sustained the obee tlon. Col. Hlewart's attorney presented a list of thirteen witnesses, nil but one of whom are fellow-officers, med- lenl and otherwise, the colonel and he asking to have all of them summoned. The hoard separately refused the ra iment except one, the exception being Dr. Spring, a civilian physician re siding in this city, who yesterday made an examination of Col. Stewart's heart. In Dr. Spring's case the board announced Its willingness to hear him In case he should voluntarily nppear. hut It was stated he would not he summoned by the board. Two of the witnesses whom Col. Stewart asked to have ordered to Washington were Lieut. R. M. Ilnrton. of tho Fifth cav alry, and Chnnlaln Chaso, of the same regiment, both of whom took horse back rides with Col. Stewart last Sep tember. Mr. iAtlmcr said that both would testify thnt his client had Col. Stewart should be permitted to make the ninety-miles ride required by the mllltAry authorities and to fol- low It with the walk which Is required as an alternate for the ride, but the rcauest was denied. The board will meet again tomor row. EATONTON, Go.. Oct. 8—Mention was made In Tho Telegraph recently of a remarkable hen.owned by Mrs. J. I). Erwin of this city.

FOUR ITALIANS ARE DEAD FROM MIGHTY MATHEW80N WEAKENED IN THIRD INNING — MANAGER McGRAW 8AID HE ’’LOST WHAT HE HAD ALREADY WON.” NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—"Chicago 4, New York 2'’—this was the talo In a phrase told at the end of the most decisive ball gamo played In this coun try In many years; played at the Polo R rounds In this city today to decide tho attonal League championship for tho season of 1908. In the presence of a record-breaking crowd which swnniped the grounds and left many thousands outside long before the game began, a game wna played in deadly earnest to settle as tensely dramatic a situation an the most ardent lpver of sport could imagine. New York MAuras. The game was played In the-‘cheerful sunshine 0 f an Ideal baseball day be fore a vast concourse of people who carried with them to the Polo grounds tho pent-up enthusiasm, hopes and fears accumulated day by duy. In the closing weeks of a season’s light for a national league pennant which had been absolutely unprecedented for con stantly Intensifying Interest and un certainty. At dusk the groat multitude departed the historic enclosure—hushed and disappointed. Th« pennant does not wave above the akycrapera flight. Its winners, who arrived hero on the Twentieth Century Limited this morn ing. are now on their way westward. Tho large black headlines In the news- K pers—"New York 2, Chicago 4"—are e mourning captions over the story of some great personage’s death. And yet probably Manager McCraw's words after the game. In the unwonted quiet of the tralnng quarters where the Giants were having their lAst showers and rub-downs, epitomises the feelings of tho vast army of Now York’a fol lowers, from those of the merest office hoy to tho occupant of a grandstand box: ”1 do not feel badly nboqt the gamo; We merely lost something wo had won before.” Fair, or not, this appears to In* tho view generally ob taining In Greater New York. It was great baseball, witnessed by the greatest*"of great baseball crowds^* which would have been more than doubled If the fences had been stretch ed out Into a circle of sufficient else to Include all those who bad clamored vainly for admittance. Spectators who know the game, however bitter they may feel over the tie decision which made today's game compulsory, seem feet. Giants Were Outplayed. The Giants, well though they played, were outplayed. Chicago, fresh from rest, was superb In form. Brilliant, errorless fielding, snappy base running end opportune hitting iu the third In ning, which made effective In scores a double by Chance, won the game. New York could not hit at critical times. Mathcwson. the great "Matty,’’ favor ite of the favorites, could not keep his Invincible arm power and the effect of a moment's lapse In that third In ning could not bo overcome. The gathering of the vast crowd which witnessed tho contest was pic turesque In tho extreme. At dayhresk the enthusiasts had begun to assem ble—and plnces In line were held by dozens of the great unknown who had traveled from some midnight bread line to get a place an eager "fan" would pay well for later In the day. Immediately tho gates swung open, hundreds- fairly hurled themselves within the enclosure, lly noon the sale of tickets ended and soon thoro was not a seat—hardly standing room. And out beyond the enclosure every over topping structure—chimneys, derricks, roofs—hod their precariously hung swarm of "motor*." Outside tho grounds for an hour preceding the call ing of tho game at 2:45 o'clock there was an almost uncontrollable crush of thousands, desperately anxious to get Inside. Suddenly tho corner gates to the diamond were flung wide and hun dreds rushed mndly to the sides of tho field, fighting for places. The police fought the crowd back and Anally a sufficient margin of field was maintained around the diamond.
