ALLAN Is AFTER COL. LAMB

Richmond, Va, March 17s---The violent
verbal attacks between the Lamb faction,
which represents Reeds interests in this
State, and the Allan faction, which is
booming McKinley's interests, is still on,
and growing hotter daily. Col. lamb left
here today for mis- home in Norfolk. He had
a conference With the new city chairman,
who took the place OF EdgarAllan, who wa b
deposed.
In an interview today Mr.. Allan said.
Il have just seen the most sCandalous, the
most scurriIous screed thar has yet char
acterized this trouble between Col. Lamb
and myself. II is written TO a Republican,
in Alexan andFia, and charges Judge Wad-
dill and myself with receiving money from
the Democrats to keep up this sziight. He
has made his boast that he is spending his
own money this campaign. Either that is
false, or, If true, some OF his Judgment
creditors may yet inquire in supplementary
proceedings where all his money is, since
uDSatsfied judgments remain.
II was offered Judgment against him
last Saturday night.

he is receiving money with which he is
debauching our voters and the use he has

The court of appeals yesterday affirmed
the decision OF the court below in the case
Hutchinson VS.. Brown.
The suit arose over q judgment OF
81 500 in favor of S. T. Brown against
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad for
personal injuries. AS soon as the YER
dict was returned Mr.. Brown assigned his
claim to his son Chaplin Brown, TO whom
he was indebted.
There were several judgments against
s. =. Brown in favor OF the estate Of the
late Hayward NJ. Hutchinson and the ex-
ecutrix Eliza c. Hutchinson asked that the
assignment TO Chaplin Br0wurbe set aside
upon the ground that no Judgment had
been entered in the case when il was made
and that the making Of it should have
waited upon the decision of the motion
for new trial.
The court OF appeals has already de-
Cided that the attorneys fee in the case
constituted a lien prior to all other claims.

TO wait for the entering OF the Judgment.
