IN OLD RENTUCK.

The Bribery Charges Brought
Out a Lot of Very
Bad Blood.
JACK CHINN GETS IN THE PUSH.
Hunter's Friends Will Charge Governor
Bradley With Evil Designs and Brad'
ley Expects to Retaliate-
Frankfort, Ky., April 12.—The sena
torial sensation is sensational in the
evtreme, and rumors of such a dam
aging nature have followed so fast
upon each other’s heels since Saturday
that the situation is almost kaleido
scopic.
The latest rumor is that within the
next forty eight hours sensational re
solutions will be introduced in the
house by the Hunter republicans, cen
suring and denouncing Governor
Bradley in the most severe terms for
taking part in the alleged bribery
charges brought against Hunter. The
latter’s followers openly charge that
Governor Bradley,as well as the silver
democrats, had a hand in the instiga
tion of the bribery charges which are
now being sifted by the Franklin
county grand jury, and that, in this
last move, he allowed his feelings to
get the better of his judgment.
The governor’s friends deny that he
had anything to do with it, and say
that if the threatened resolution of de
nunciation is passed, Governor Brad
ley will go upon the floor of the house
and make a speech that will be full of
sensations from end to end.
Prominent men were examined by
the grand jury this morning as to
whether or not they had been offered
money by Hunter.
The situation here is grave and feel
ing runs very high. Personal alter
cations are looked for at any time.
There was a murmur of surprise
when the senate flied into the house
for today's joint session. Redoubtable
Jack Chinn,who figured so extensively
in the session last winter,took a seat at
the door, while Capt. Thomas Tanner,
who testified before the grand jury
against Hunter and his lieuten
ants, stood just behind him.
When the roll was called the Hunter
republicans responded promptly, but
the gold democrats, bolting repub
licans and free silver democrats de
clined to answer, thus breaking a
quorum. A ballot was ordered which
resulted in 44 votes for Hunter. No
quorum being present the general as
sembly adjourned.
Bryan Suffering.
Washington, D. C., April 12,—Wil
liam J. Bryan returned to Washington
today from Florida. He is still suf
fering as the result of the accident at
St. Augustine, and is considerably
bruised. His worst injury is in his
left side, which pains him greatly
when moving about. The force of the
fall may be judged from the fact that
a silver match safe which Mr. Bryan
carried in his vest pocket was com
pletely crushed outof shape by the ac
cident.

Clearances about 200,000. Close in

also a factor. Provisions ruled firm

ceipts of hogs were light.

HIS LONG, SERVICE.
Rev. H. E. Lucas Recounts His
Twenty Years of Rectoiship.
Rev. H. E. Lucas, at the morning
service at St. Mark’s church Sunday,
gave a resume of his twenty years as
rector. The recount of this unusually
long service made one of the most in
teresting discourses that ever ema
nated from the pulpit ot St. Marks.
In his modest way the beloved pas
tor told of the struggle for the up
building of the church and the suc
cesses that finally rewarded him. He
touchingly referred to the days when
Brunswick twice passed through the
scourge of death; he spoke of the
times that he had called the blessings
of Heaven and the church upon the
beads of infants, who have since
grown to manhood and womanhood;
then of the days when he had united
in the holy bonds of matrimony so
many happy couples; and touchingly
mentioned the hours in which he had
performed the last sad rites of the
church and consigned the mortal
body of man to the dust from whence
it came.

SPLIT IN RANKS
OF GEORGIA’S NAVI.
Brunswick and Savannah Re
serves Involved in a
Fight
OVER A DIVISION OF THE OFFICERS.
Brunswick Votes for Brunswick Men and
Savannah Stands by Savannah Men-
The Result a Deadlock-
There is a naval war on in Georgia,
The forces of the Naval Reserves of
the two cities of the coast are arrayed
against each other in a battle to the
death.
In the election for officers of the
Naval Reserve battalion the following
was the result:
The eight Brunswick commissioned
officers voted solidly for the following
ticket: Frank D. Aiken, commander;
Janies S.Wright, lieutenant command
er; YV. M. Tupper, navigator; all of
Brunswick.
The eight Savannah commissioned
officers, reported by telegraph to The
Times, voted solidly for the following
ticket: H. S. Colding, commander;
C. E. Broughton, lieutenant com
mander; YValter J. Thompson, navi
gator. All of Savannah.
The result is a tie. The decision is
not in sight.
The differences between the Bruns
wick and Savannah Reserves began
when the Brunswiok Reserves nomi
nated Capt. YV. M. Tupper for naviga
tor. Previous to this nomination, Sa
vannah had claimed that Brunswick
being entitled to the commander’s
place, she should have the other two
offices. Brunswick, somewhat indig
nantly, responded that, having the
monitor Passaic, the navigator be
longed naturally to this city.
To settle the difficulty, Lieutenants
Elliot and Taylor went to Savannah
Sunday and were closeted wi’b the
officers of that city’s divisions from 10
p. m. to la. m. They did nor se t.
The Brunswick lieutenants rein _.ed
last night and reported no conces
sions.
Last night Captain R. Ernest Dart,
Lieutenants Ed L. Stephens and Frank
A. Dunn, of the Riflemen, officiated as
managers of the Brunswick end of the
battalion election. Every one of the
commissioned officers of Divisions
First and Fourth cast a vote for the
straight Brunswick ticket.
The following tells the Savannah
part of the story :
Savannah, April 12.—[To The
Timksl.- Eight votes were cast solidly
for H. S. Golding, commander; C. E.
rtroughton, lieutenant commander;
Walter J. Thompson, navigator.
J. J. Hyams.
The result is a deadlock. But the
Savannah men claim to have some
thing up their sleeves. They claim
that Brunswick was entitled to only
six votes, alleging that Lieutenant C.
A. Taylor and Ensign 11. F. dußignon
were not legally elected under the mil
itary regulations of the state. The
Brunswick men retaliate that four Sa
vannah officers were not legally
elected.
The question is one for Governor
Atkinson to decide. In the meantime,
the redoubtable navy of Georgia is at
loggerheads.
Two Bemova’s.
On May 1 two removals of business
houses will occur in this city. The
California Restaurant, conducted by
Chue Hall, will move into the Grant
street stand formerly occnpied by
Hugh McElya. Charlie Clark, the
barber, will establish tonsorial parlors
in the present restaurant stand.
Return Day.
Today is return day for the next term
of city court, which convenes on the
first Monday in May.
Our straw hats are ready for your
inspection. Ne v styles and pretty
goods at Palmer’s.
