Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 9.-Mayor Woodward,
who was stricken down with grip the DAY
after he went into his new office, last
week, was out this morning, and able to
take up the municipal reins again.
The talk of a more liberal policy toward
the saloons and other kindred elements
continues to be heard. A member of
Council, in discussing the probabilities for
a wide-open town under Mayor Wood
ward, made this significant reply 90 a ques-
ton to-day:

II Is said that the action of saloon keep
ers i'm determining to make test case of
the election day closing law, is a straw
showing the way the wind is blowing.
There was an election for justice court
bailiffs on Saturday. The saloon men,
who have been afraid to open their
mouths for a long while, got together and
decided that they ought 10 be allowed to
open their doors as soon as the polls clos
ed. Accordingly ]. II. Spillman, who
runs a place on Marietta street, opened
up Saturday at O'clock and kept open
until the regular closing hours. Several
wholesale houses also opened their doors
at the same time.
The liquor men declare that the law only
requires them to close while an election
is actually going on, and that when the
polls close the election day is over. Upon
this line they have decided to test the
law in the courts, giving Spillman an or
ganized support.

recent act of the legislature, the Governor

Some Of the Athens people are trying to

that he stretched the blanket, so to speak,
in order to insure the states property in

a private citizen. A representative of the
Southern Mutual here said to-day that
this criticism was unwarranted, because
the company had acted upon its own ac-
cord in refusing TO accept any part of the

BOMB IN A SCHOOL BUILDING.
It's Explosion Causes n Panic Among
the Pupils.

Chambersburg, Pa, March 11.-An un-
successful attempt was made yesterday
morning TO blow up a school building In
the little village of Scotland, four miles
east of here.
When D. c. Morrison, the teacher, opened
the session for the day there was an odor
of burning powder in the room. A few
minutes later an explosion took place
which shook the building and created a
panic among the pupils. The stove was
shaken from its fastenings. A rush was
made for doors and windows and all OF the
pupils made their escape without injury.
Investigation showed that during the
night the lock had been torn from the base
ment door and bomb with long fuse at
tached was placed under the floor of the
building. Pieces of the bomb and parts Of
the fuse are in possession OF the author
tiles.
The force of the explosion shook other
buildings in the vicinity. and parents hur-
ried to the school, fearful lest their chill
dren had been injured. Parts of a newspa-
per had been wrapped about the explosive.

RUN ON A HAVANA BANK.
BnseIess Rumors Annoy the North

Havana March 11.-An unexplained run
was started yesterday on the North Ameri-

had spread that the company was in a
shaky condition, and the depositors flocked
In crowds to withdraw their money. The
bank paid all claims, and many persons
returned their money.
Later in the day the officials of the bank
stated that they had in their safe $500 900
over and above the local liabilities. They
can only explain the run by the fact that
the policemen were paid yesterday in
checks on the company. and that some
trouble regarding identification in cashing
these gave rise to report that the bank
had suspended. The government money
in the bank is well secured by bond.
