MAYOR INJUNCTION.
Arguments Being Heard in Dis
trict Court Today.

The injunction case in the Parker
Hughes contest in the district court was
called at j 30 o'clock by Judge Hazen
G. c. Clemens asked the court for an
order that Mr.. Drew as mayor should be
made a. party to the proceedings and to
bring him into court IN attendance upon
the trial of the mandamus case Saturday
morning. Clemens said that he had dis
covered that the certificate of election
asked for by the attorneys of Mr.. Parker
would have to be signed by the city clerk
and also the mayor, so Mr. Drew VIII
have to be mayor and sign the certificate
if the court decides in favor of Mr.. Parker
Saturday. Judge Hazen said that he
would think about the matter and decide
later.
The counsel for Colonel Hughes de-
INJURED to the petition in the injunction
case Judge Carver claimed there was no
law to restrain officers from carrying out
their duties. Judge Carver said there
was nothing in the petition to show that
Mr.. Parker had the right to ask the court
to grant an injunction unless it would be
on the ground that it was to prevent his
right as to the public patronage which
goes with the office, and that official pa
tronage or the Democratic idea that TO
the victor belongs the spoils does not
come under the head Of law; He said that
public interest demanded that the duties
of the office should be discharged

GEORGIA PROSPEROUS.
Brighter Days Come to Planters and
Farmers.

New York, April 17.-Governor. II. D.
Gambler OF Georgia, who is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, in an interview lest night
said;
Georgia is IN a better condition to-
day in every way than she has been for
a generation. There is conteptment and
prosperity among all classes. The last
cotton crop was a good one and the
planters and farmers are nearly all cut
Of debt. Manufacturing is springing up
all over the state and many cotton mills
are being erected.
while our coal and iron interests are
not so large as those of some ether
states il is not improbable that they win
be absorbed by the trusts That seems
to be the trend of events.
4 have been to Washington settling
up some claims Of the state against the
federal government growing out OF the
Spanish war.
Il am glad to say that there has been
a marked decrease in the number OF
lynchings in our state and I have been
cordially aided by other officials in enl-
ploying every recourse to secure fair
trial to all men accused Of crime There
were only six Iynchings in Georgia last
year, while in 1899 there were more than
twice that many. The aboninable crimes
Of which 1ynchingsc are the result are
not the work of Georgia born negroes.
These are committed by colored men
who are fugitiveS from other states
Gov ern0r Gambler will leave for Geor-
Pfa today.

POOL ROOMS CLOSE.
Illinois Has New Law Which VIII
Prove Effective.

Chicago, April 17.-Pool selling in IIli-
nois outside of regular race tracks or
fair grounds received a blow when Judge
Hartzell of the circuit court of Madison
county. made permanent the temporary
injunction granted against a pool room
across the river from st. Louis.
Hereafter, according to this decision,
there can be no pool rooms in the state,
no matter how complaisant local sheriffS
or chiefs of police may be. as long as the
states attorney of the county objects.
If the states attorney fails to suppress
pool rooms the attorney general of the
state can step in
The matter is not of great Importance
in Chicago now, as the last pool room
was closed on Saturday, and no others
have been opened, but if there is any
attempt to start the method of stopping
them has been pointed out.
The decision, however, is Of Importance
all over the state, as the method of clos
ing pool rooms, which has proven 50
effectual in Madison county. is applica-
bic to Cook, WILL Dupage, or any other
county in the state.
