When the meeting was called to order,
vote was cas- for a board of directors.
Here split came, and one that is likely
to bring about some changes. The Green

the old board of directors, while the
other faction voted for a new one. The
opposition wanted board in which a
majority of the members were Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton people.
AN INJUNCTION SERVED.
While little squabbling was going on
bomb went off that blasted the move
ments of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton faction. The bomb was in the
shape of an injunction issued by Judge
Bruce and served by United States Dep

ATLANTA's CITY ELECTION.

in Their Race for the Council.


in Their Race for the Council.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 3-More interest
was manifested to-day in the fight over
the municipal officers than in the state
election. Forty candidates were voted
for, and on that account it will take until
tomorrow morning TO decide the contest.
1t looks, however, as if the Atkinson
ticket is defeated by candidates who re-
fused to submit to the committee nomi-
nations. 1t also looks as if there would
be general shaking up in the city hall,
men who have served the city for years
being turned out.
Hugh Inman is probably defeated for
the council by c. V. Gress, and c. S.
Northen is beaten for alderman by M. n.
Tolbert.
Porter King for mayor had no opposi-
tion.
There was great deal Of trading by
Hines supporters who made every vote
they cast for the city ticket count for
Hines.
