THE BRUNSWICK TIMES: VOLUME 8, NO. 86. TROUBLE IMMINENT 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.

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.
