THE MOORE TICKET.
Here Is the Way It Is Fixed
at Present.
THE MUNICIPAL POT
Is Beginning to Boil—Other
Tickets Being Arranged.
Much Talk.
— •
The cauldron of municipal'politics is
rcpidly reaching that condition known aa
boiling.
There are candidates, may-be candi
dates, would-be candidates, and won’t be
candidates, and all are talking about
mayor and conncilmen.
One ticket has already been made up.
It may be called the Moore ticket, as
that gentleman heads it aa a candidate
for mayor. It was at first decided to
print the ticket officially this morning,
but later it was decided to hold it over
for a few days.
But here it ia aa a matter of news;
For mayor, John D. Moore.
For conncilmen:
First Ward, A. B. McArver.
Second ward, W. J. Neel.
Third ward, Henry Stoffcegan.
Fourth waid, Walter Harris.
Fifth ward, T. J. McCaffrey.
The list contains the names of popular
men, and there are many who declare
that the ticket will win.
But there are others who deny it.
Capt. John J. Seay may be said to be
in the race fcr mayor, and he is one of
the moat popular men in Rome or in the
county. He has many friends, and they
express themselves with much confidence
aa to the result.
Then there ia Capt. J. C. Printnp, an
other popular citizen, who haa many
friends who declare he will be the next
mayor.
The arranging of the Moore ticket
makes the race assume a more definite
shape,, and has caused a great increase in
municipal talk.

sults. It is the best. Only 25 ots.
THE ROLLING MILL SALE-
It Is Probable That the Bondholders Will
Bld Off the Property.
The sale of the Rome Rolling Mill will
occur tomorrow as advertised. So far as
Mr. J. H. Reynolds, the receiver and
commissioner for the sale has received
very few responses to his advertisements.
It begins to look like the bondholders
will scoop in the property. The amount
of the bonded debt's $16,000, of wh : ch
about half ia held in Rome and half in
Chattanooga. The Chattanooga bond,
holders met to confer on the subject
Monday night.
It seems to be understood that the
bondholders will bid in the property un
less other parties appear to make a bet
ter offer.
ROLLING MILL CREDITORS
Will Ask Judge Newman to Fix a Minimum
Price.
Some of the creditors of the Rome Roll
ing Mill, which has been ordered sold,
have petitioned Judge Newman to fix a
minimum price at which it can be sold.
This morning at 10 o’clock Judge New
man will hear arguments in thia petition,
and decide whether such price shall be
fixed or not.
A Veteran Iron Man
Mr. Stephen Stucky and Mr. A. C.
Stucky, of Oxford, Ala., are in the city,
stopping at the Armstrong. They are
engaged in machine and foundry work
at Oxford, and Mr. Stephen Stucky has
been in the iron business for many yean.
Comparing the present situation with
that of 1847, he said: “It is now just as
it was then. I saw iron sell for $7.25 a
ton on the Louisville wharf in 1847 and in
less than twelve months iron was bring
ing $45 a ton and every furnace was shut
down.’’ Mr. Stucky did the work on Round
Mountain furnace when it was enlarged
from 14 to 28 tons daily capacity. “There
isn’t a furnace in the United States that
makes better iron,’’ said he.

THE OFFICERS MEET.
Fire Department Officers In Session
Night.
The officers of the fire department met.
last night in regular quarterly meeting,
this being the first one of the new year.
The meeting was made up of three chiefs
and three from each company.
The question as to the nculeman of
the aerial ladder was laid before the of
ficers for settlement. The Hook and
Ladder Company owns the section of
hose that is carried up the ladder, and
the hose from the plug is merely con
nected with this. Some thought the
Hook and Ladder should furnish the
nozzleman, but the department decided
that the company laying connecting hose
had that position.
The r ule that the orders at a fire go
from the chief to the captains and then
to the men was discussed, and it was de
termi nad to have it strictly enforced.
The matter of reducing the number of
members of the companies was laid on
the table. •
Some time ago Chief Hanks sold a lot
of rubber hose, by order of the council,
and how has $350 with which he wants
to buy new hose, which is badly needed.
It is claimed, however, that he has no
right to do this, and that the money must
be refunded to the city council, which
body can then dispose of it in any way it
chooses. This matter was discussed,
and it was the sense of the officers that
the council should allow the department
to spend the amount for hose.
Say They 4re Starving.
Denver, Jan. 16.—A committee of
Santa Fe railway employes from La
Junta, Col., has informed Governor
Waite that the engineers, conductors,
brakemen,-switchmen and trackmen of
all grades on the western division have
received no salary since last October and
many of the men and their families are
on the verge of starvation. Salaries
have been promised, they say, at differ
ent times. The last date was Jan. 10.
The day passed and no pay car appeared.
As the railway company has stopped
supplying coal to its employes, many
families are suffering from cold as well
as hunger.
A Coal Operator for Free Coal.
Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 16.—Tho
ground has been cut from under the
West Virginia coal operators, who have
been opposing free coal, by General R.
D. Spilman, president of the Mononga
hela Coal company. It employs over
2,000 men in the Monongahela valley.,
General Spilman declares that free coal
will not injure West Virginia coal oper
ators, brit will eventually open up an
enormous trade for them with Canada.
Special significance is given to General
Spiltnan s views, because he is a son-in
law of Senator Camden, who is himself
largely interested in coal production.
Wm Me • McCoy?
Cincinnati, Jan. 16.—1 tis believed
that the man Edward Lewis, who killed
his wife and himself here Friday, was
Edward Lewis McCqy, the missing
Sounger brother of the McCoy gang, of
IcCoy-Hatlield vendetta fame. The
initials E. L. M. had been tattooed on
his left arm; Ed. L. McCoy had the
same. He had a photograph of the Mc-
Coy brothers in a group, with himself
standing behind them, and had explained
evasively how he came to be in the
group. He also had a handbook on the
bank of Williamson, W. Va.
They Want a Representative.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 16.—The
press of Alabama is clamoring to have a
representative on the Democratic state
ticket. There has been a great deal
written on the subject, but so far no
names have been called. It appears
that every fellow is holding back with
the hope that somebody will nominate
him for the job.

Os Fley< Cauuty Holds aa Interesting
■ Meeting.
The county board of education met
yesterday, and attended to a number of
matters of interest to the* school public.

should begin on the first of January, and
the teachers are allowed to hold their
five months of school at the time most
convenient within the twelve months;
Heretofore the'five months have had to
be put in within ten mouths.
Another important decision was in the
matter of the consolidation of schools.
There has been a tendency to open
many different schools, whereas it is the
policy of the board that they be oonsoli
doted ss much as possible and grided
As a move to this end it was decided that
where the board owns a school building
that no other school should be estab
lished within two miles. The board
owns about forty such buildings.

schools in E«st Rome Capt. Moseley and
