The Bribery Charges Brought
Out a Lot of Very
Bad Blood.
JACK CHINN GETS IN The PUSH.
Hunters Friends viii Charge Governor
Bradley With Evil Designs and Brad
ley Expects to RetaIiate.

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 others 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 we'll as the silver
democrats, had 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 governors friends deny that he
had anything to do with it, and say
that if the threatened resolution of de-
Dunclation 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 fled into the house
for today's joint session. Redoubtable
Jack Chlnn, who figured so extensively
in the session last winter, took 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, boiling repub-
licans and free silver democrats de-
clined to answer, thus breaking a
quorum. A ballot was ordered which
resulted In AZ 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 out of shape by the &C
cident.

HIS LONG SERVICE.
Rev H. E. Lucas Kecounts His
Twenty Years cf Rector ship.


Rev. H. E. Lucas Kecounts His
Twenty Years cf Rector ship.
Rev. H. E. Lucas, at the mornIng
service at st. Marks 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 dscourses that ever ema-
mated from the pulpit of st. Marks.
In his modest way the beloved pas
tor told of the struggle for the up
building of the church and the sue
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
heads 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.

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 Deadlock

There is naval war on in Georgia,
The forces of the Naval Reserves of
the two cities of the coast are arrayed
against each other IN 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;
James S.Wrlght, lieutenant command
er; w. NJ. Tupper, navigator; all of
Brunswick.
The eight Savannah commissioned
officers, reported by telegraph to The
TIMES, voted solidly for the following
ticket: FL. s. Coding, commander;
c. E. Broughton, lieutenant COM
mander; Walter 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 Brunswick Reserves nomi-
mated Capt. W. M. TuDper for naviga-
tor. Previous to this nomination, Sa-
vannah had claimed that BrunswiCk
being entitled to the commanders
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 with tie
officers of that city's divisions from 10
p. m. to a. NJ. They did nor sett,e {.

for H. S. COlding, commander; G. f.

Walter J. Thompson, navigator.

The result is a deadlock. Bat the
Savannah men claim to have some-
thing up their sleeves. They claim
that Brunswick was entitled to only
SIX votes, alleging that Lieutenant G.
A. Taylor and Ensign II. F. duBignOn
we're 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.

ant Of studying the habits Of ants.
These insects, as is we'll known, are not
only nuisance, but an absolute pest i'll
hot countries. They march in myriads
and destroy everything in their road.
In justice to the ants, I am bound, how
ever, to admit that I have found them
useful in more ways than one. For in
stance, I bought an opossum skin rug
from q native. soon became painfully
aware Of the fact that it literally
swarmed with heas and other vermin.
In vain did exhaust my stock of pep
per. Even turpentine seemed to have
no effect beyond increasing the reckless
activity Of these irritating settlers.
At last, in despair. threw my rug
down on an ant hill. In less than half
an hour every flea and Objectionable
parasite was eaten, but the rug was full
of ants. therefore hung it on mimosa
bush, and as soon as the ants found they
were suspended they hastened to leave
the rug and descended by the bush as
best they could.
Again, had killed snake in Tas-
mania and wished to clean and bleach
the skeleton, which intended to have
mounted as a necklace. l left the body
near an ants nest In a few hours there
was not a vestige of flesh on the bones.
The sun soon did the rest. t.-Gentleman's

At the time of the Mil1erite delusion
In 1848, when many people believed
that the end of the world would come
bn certain day in April. and many
others who did not really believe were
yet moved to superstitious uneasiness
by the fervor of the Millerites, there
were number of eager watchers for
the appointed day in an old New Eng
land town. sUat
It was late spring, and there was
light fall Of snow on the ground. On
the night before the dreadful date there
famed in the sky magnificent crimson
aurora, and the red light in the heavens,
with its red reflection on the snow, ter
rified many nervous people to the verge
Of distraction. They thought it signi-
fed the beginning Of universal destruo-
tion.
One woman, who lived alone, with
the back of her house close to ceme-
terry, walked near midnight and was
overcome with horror. Without stop
ping to dress she ran out Of her house
and along close beside the burying
ground boundary toward the dwelling
Of her next neighbor. Her bare feet
slipped in the snow, and once she fell.
but rose Immediately and ran on.
Her neighbors also were awake, the
wife lying quaking in bed, the husband
at the window. He looked out just as
the frantic figure in white sprang up
from her fall in the drifted snow
emerging, us it appeared, from the
graveyard, and bathed in blood red
light. Turning his head, he shouted
back hastily into the dark chamber:
tits true, wife. the end of the world
has come. The dead are rising from
their graves. I've just seen the first
one."
The supposed corpse, however, pres
emily took refuge in his house. and
when morning dawned and the world
still existed the trio were no doubt reas-
sured. Companion.
