Mayor Lamb and His Entire Tick ct
Triumph at the Polls.
BRUNSWICK. GA. Dec. 1o.-Mayor
Thomas W. Lamb was reelected mayor to-
day with his entire aldermanic ticket, COM
posed Of NJ. ]. Colson. A. ]. Crovatt, N. T.
Kennon and F. Joerger. They were op-
posed by w. f. Symons and a ticket
backed by reformers. The campaign was
the hottest and most bitter that has been
INDUCED in in years. Charges Of all kinds
were prepared against the administration,
but the people refused to substantiate them
and voted Mayor Lamb and his aldermen
in. The lowest vote on Mayor Lambs
ticket was larger than the highest on the
reformers. No difficulties of a serious nat
ure occurred despite the threatening re-
marks that had been made previous to the
election.
When the result was announced pande.
monium reigned on the streets, and Mayor
Lamb was hoisted on the shoulders of yell
Ing supporters and carried through the
principal streets. followed by hundreds Of
enthusiastic men. The election of Mayor

JUDGE GoBERs DEFENSE.

A Sensational Pamphlet Laid On the
Desks of the Members OF the House.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 10.-During the ses-
sion of the House to-day pamphlets contain
ing the arguments of Judge Gober's
lawyers defending him against the
charges of the Glenn and Mad
dox memorial were distributed on
the desks Of the members Fifty-hve pages
Of small print are taken up with the judges
defense. When the pamphlet appeared they
were at once eagerly secured by the MEM
bers and soon there was a murmur of ex-
element in the hall over the printed speech
of Mr.. Brown of Judge Gober's counsel
This speech is very sensational In its lan-
guage and full of assaults made upon the
private and public characters Of Messrs.
Glenn and Maddox, the memorialists. Mr.
Brown characterized them as assassins and
bushwhackers, and Mr.. Glenn is chased with
traitors and held up to the most scatbing
contempt on account Of his former private
life
PERSONAL TROUBLE LOOKED FOR.
The paper is a most sensational denuncia-
ton, and personal trouble is looked for on
account of it. In view of the fact that the
pamphlets were handed the members before
the investigating committee has made up
its report, there is ground for the presump-
ton that this was done TO forestall that re-
port.
Mr.. Doolsn of Chatham introduced
resolution rendering Mr.. Glenn the use of
the House for next Tuesday night In order
that he might reply to Judge Gober's
counsel.
The resolution was another sensation.
Judge. Hall got the floor and made the
point that under law enacted at this ses-
sion the capitol could not be granted for any
other than the use of the state and Mr..
Doolan withdrew his resolution. Mr..
Doolan, however, says that when the in
vestigating committee makes its report.
which Chairman Wooten said to-day would
be some time next week, he would intro
duce a similar resolution, inviting Mr..
Glenn to answer the attack on the floor Of
the House.

Appointed By the Court.
AMERICUs, Ga, Dec. 10.-The hearing Of
the application of W. B. Alexander & Co.,
ct al, VS.. the Saveunsh, Americus aud
Montgomery railway for permanent re-
oeiver, was concluded at 6 o'clock tonight
Col. 3. Il. Hawkins was appointed receiver
with t. Edward Hambleton of Baltimore as
co>receiver. ALI the parties interested In
the suit concurred in this action.
The bondholders were represented by r.
b. Sperry OF Baltimore and Maj. o. A
Bacon Of Macon. The petitioners creditors
ETC., were represented by Hon. Dupont
Guerry of Macon and local counsel
The road was represented by its general
counsel. Messrs. Rollins and Hawkins.
The appointment Of Mr.. Hambleton as
oo-receiver with Col. Hawkins meets with
much favor from all classes Of security
holders as it assures the active and
hearty cooperation OF a very strong
moneyed interest that has beens identified
with the property heretofore and who are
now strongly interested In restoring 1t to q
strong financial basis.
A HOPEFUL FEELING.
The representations of the proposed syn
dictate who are in the city give strong as
surances of their ability TO formulate a
plan within few weeks that can be con-
suhndVeu WITHIN sixty days, Wnlcn VIII
pay off all claims against the company and
provide an ample sinking fund for future
charges. The earnings OF the road
are constantly increasing and have
ALWAYS been ample TO meet the expenses
and fixed charges, but on account of large
amounts spent recently in completing the
construction Of the Montgomery extension
the company has had to divert its earnings
TO meet their payments This alone has
caused the present stringency and embar-
rassment in its affairs.
The order Of Judge Fish directs the re-
cievers to apply the net earnings OF the road
TO the payment of laborers and employees In
arrears. To frat pay those with whom the
company is furthest in arrears in time, so
as to bring the payments TO them in time
up 10 the others with whom said company
is not so far in arrears.
The harmonious action to-day Of the rep
resentatives Of all local interests and the
gentlemen representing the northern bond
holders causes an almost universal belief
that the financial affairs of the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery will soon be
most satisfactorily adjusted.

GEORGIA AT THE FAIR
Report of the Committee Which Went
to Chicago.

Report of the Committee Which Went
to Chicago.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec 10.-The special
committee appointed to visit the worlds
fair at Chicago this morning submitted an
adverse report on making an appropriation
by the legislature. The report says: THE
special committee appointed to visit the
worlds Columbian exposition at Chicago to
inquire into the advisability of an appropri-
alton out of the state treasury for the pur-
pose Of making an exhibit Of the resources
Of the state at said exposition, beg leave to
submit the following report: The commit
tee visited the exposition grounds and in
spected the work done, and had outlined to
them the future plans OF the exposition
managers IRE committee was impressed
with the magnitude Of the undertaking.
Nearly all the buildings approached com
pletion, so that the committee could
form q fair idea Of what the ex-
position managers hope to accomplish.
We unhesitatingly pronounce the exposition
the grandest affair OF the kind. in our
opinion, that has ever been attempted by
man. One hundred and ffty-nine acres Of
buildings, some Of them OF a magnitude
almost passing comprehension. yet Of sur
prising architectural beauty, will contain
an exhibit OF the worlds resources on
scale of magnitude almost indescribable.
We find that the states of the union are
fully alive to the fact that a grand op-
portunity is about TO be presented to them
whereby they can advertise their resources,
and thus invite immigration and capital.
Thirty-one states have appropriated out OF
their state treasures for the purpose Of
making exhibits 50, AL, 900. All the other
states of the union will be represented by
private enterprise save four. Georgia Is
classed as one of these laggards."
The report then speaks Of the foreign
countries which will be represented.
The report proceeds at length to describe
she greatness of the state Of Georgia, its
soil, climate and mineral resources. II en-
phasizes the advantage an exhibit would
afford in drawing capital TO the Empire
state Of the south. The committee believes
that an exhibit would rebound to the states
pecuniary advantage. But says the COM
mittee, 'upon the Threshold of our inquiry
we are met with a constitutional inhibition
that in this instance seems to stand as bar
of progress. Our constitution positively
forbids the appropriation"
The committe In conclusion says: 1--WE
are constrained 20 advise against any ap-
preparation" IL states, however, that
efforts ought TO be forwarded through priv
ate enterprise. The report was read and no
action was taken by the House.

used the veto this morning for the first time
since the present general assembly has been
In session. He refused to approve the bill
30 provide compensation for the members of
the board of education of Ebert county.
It was vetoed on the ground that 1t was vio-

says that laws OF a general nature shall
have uniform operation throughout the en-
sire state. and no special laws shall be en-
acted in any case for which provisions are

bill seeks to vary the rule by providing
compensation for only the Ebert county

policy of making no speeches was not help
ing them, and the leaders Of the prohibition
forces replied to various attacks upon the
bill, especially those upon its constitution
atty. As an amendment to the bill one
member offered Judge Meher's report on the
codidcatiOn OF the statutes, a very long
document.

the subject matter of the bill and was
offered simply to gain delay. The House
over whelmingly sustained his position. The
fight on the bill was adjourned till Mon
