Savannah, Ga., October 10.—The ani-
moBitiee which have existed for gome time
betweon Postmaster Lamar and his assist
ant, Gob Clifford W. Anderson, culminated
to-day in a personal encounter.
A little after noon Col. Anderson walked
into the poRmaater's private office and
challenged him to fight at ten paces, de
nouncing him as
A LIAS AND VILLAIN,
and charged him with having rained hia
character.
Hardly were the words out of his mouth
before Lamar sprang up and struck Ander
son a blow in the face. Anderson had his
pittol in bis baud, and &9 he raised it, Dr.
Hohley and Capt. Fred. M. Hull, who were
in the office, seized him and wreached the
weapon away.
Captain Lamar bad a walking cane in his
hand and struck Anderson over the head,
CUTTINO A DKKP WOUND,
and at the tame time planting bis fist in the
ex-deputy'a face. A messenger was sent
for the police and Acting Mayor Schwarz
went in person.
Anderson waa placed under arrest and
taktn to the mayor’s office. His head was
covered with blood and bis face was well
battered up. While the mayor and oity at
torney w#. ro determining their right to mnko
tbo arrest on United States property
Detective Wotberhorn arrived with a war
rant, swern out by the postmaster, charg
ing Anderaon with breach of peaoe.
TOE WOULD-BE DUELIST
Laughed heartily us the officer read the
warrau', and asked a moment*s time in
which to make a statement to the reporters.
He waa then taken to a magistrate’s office,
where he gave bond and was released.
The immediate difficulty grew out
of Audersou’s demand for his
bond, his shortage in accounts
having been settled and his successor in
effioo having been appointed.
OllIOIN OF THE FEUD.
In the course of his statement, Col. An
derson said the trouble between him and
tho postmaster was concerning the pos
session cf a key to the monoy vault, and
began over n year ago. Sometimes as
much 88 $11,000 in stamps and envelopes
won in the vault. Two clerks in the cffico
neuidcB himself had access to the vault
and he wanted the postmaster to relieve him
of tho responsibility, unless he alone could
have the key. This, he said, was the cause
of the feud between them.
TUE SHORTAGE MADE GOOD.
The shortage which Inspeotor Wil
liamson discovered ard whiob
is understood to have been about fonrteon
hundred dollars, wav mode good by Auder-
Hon’s friends liHt week aud ho no* wonts
his bond returned,
Tho witneMsea cf the affairs in the post-
offico soy the attack on Capt. Lamar was
wholly ni>jr>8*iftabl«*.
THE TOWN TOO I MALL FOB BOTH.
Anderson said to-night that either he or
Lamar must leave the town, as it is not
Urge enough to bold both of them. He is
determined to havo a meeting and satisfao
tion. The affair created a bfg sensation and
is the talk of the street to-night.

000. There was a decided increase in earn
ings east of tbtOhio tiver. whilo there was
a falling off west of the Ohio. It was de
termined to declare a dividend for the putt
six month*, but it i* not dtfiuituly ettlod
whether it will bo three or tour ptr cent.
Gum-tt was not present, and it
hi Stated that ho wan xuit phased

ll ISOLOTTOS TO K1IX A WHITE UAH,
Daring tho preliminary trial it was dl.-
covered that a ro<olation to kid Mr. Ker-
ney, a white man who had had a fight with
one of their brethren, whose arm he broke,
was passed daring one of their meeting.,
bnt the time appointed for the deed had not
come. Two days were consumed in taking
testimony, and many other negroes have
been implicated.
There is no donbt that a oolored man, a
member of the Dry Bayon lodge of negro
Masons, killed Harry Taylor, and that both
Taylor and his wife had disappeared, a
body answering to Taylor’s being found in
the river with marks of violenoe npon it.
Tbe body bod been weighted down.
The lodge, in tbis coanty were organized
by a negro named Stringer, who claims to
be working nnder tbe authority of the
Grand Orient of Franco. Their iodgo was
foandod in 18&2. Several other lodges have
been founded in this section.
