THE ROME TRIBUNE. VOL. VI. NU. 1.«3a. GOVERNOR NORTHEN Gone to Guard the State Line Against the Sluggers. HE WILL BE AT WAYCROSS. He Has the Border Counties Picketed and Will Watch Cumberland. Atlanta, January 23.—Gov. Northen left ths city tod*y on the southbound E T., V. A Ga., train which carried a crowd of sporting man bound for the Corbett* Mitchell fight. The Governor has been in telpgrapbio comma-tic *tion with parties in Jacksonville and has wired the sheriff! of Camden, Glynn ani Charlton counties to meet him a* Waycross to morrow. There are three danger points in Gior gis to which special attention will be given tomorrow. Oae is in Camden county where the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad, which runs out of Jacksonville, enters P. It has been given out that the sports have secured control of this road, so espe cial attention will b i given to gnatd:ng it. Another danger point is in Chariton county, where the Savannah, Florida and Western, running out of Jackson ville, enters Grorgia at Faikston. The third point which is regarded by some to be the most probable fighting ground in Georgia is Cumberland Island, near Dungenness. It is within easy reach of Jacksonville by steamer, and a large crowd could be hustled out of Jacksonville on a steamer at vary short notice. In reply to a question, Adjutant Gen eral Kell replied that the military would be ready to move at a moment’s notice. The Brunswick R tlimen.it is said, are ready to guard Cumberland Island and the Brunswick Light Horse Guard will be ready to guard Camden county. The Governor Ready for Them. The Evening Journal prints the follow ing telegram from two of its staff on boar 1 the train withGivernor Nor ben: McDonough, Ga., January 23. —Aboard East Tennessee train.) —Guven-or Nortb en is on this train going towaids Bruns wick. He goes to make an effort to prevent the Coibett-Mitchell fight taking place in Georgia. When questioned by us be reluctantly said:‘T am g >ing to prevent the Corbett- Mitchell fight by all the powers of heaven and earth, if I can do it.” He refused to say to what points be was going. When questioned further he said: “I have a great regard for both you gentlemen, but that is all I have to say.” We suggested that possibly an exposi tion of his plans in the Journal might help him. “Nj,” I think not,” he said. “If we say for you,” we continued, “that you would have every train watched, it may prevent them coming over the Georgia line.” “Don’t say that.” he replied, “because lam not relying on their coming on a train. I have every point covered, guards posted everywhere. Th* fight can’t come to this state. I have been ex pecting this turn of events some time, and now I am fixed for them.” From what he said, the line of Georgia is so thoroughly picketed that it will be impossible for the fighters to cross with out being detee'ed Ths probability now is that the crowd will leave Jacksonville on ocean steamers and go to some isl ind on the Georgia and Florida coast and fight it nut there. AROUND THE WORLD. And That, Without a Cent or a Stitch o! Clothing. Boston, Jan. 23. —A young clubman of Boston, whose name for the next year will be Paul Jones, has made a wager that he will travel around the world in 12 months, starting without a stitch of clothing or a dollar and returning with |5,000. On the day set for the word "Go” Mr. Jones must repair to the club house and strip to the skin. It is nominated in the bond that he shall neither ask for nor rpceive money but for any services ren dered such as blacking shoes or brushing hats or coats for the club members he may take whatever they are inclined to offer. By little services of this kind he hopes to earn enough to buy a suit of “hand-me-downs” m which to say adieu to the club house. Once on the street Mr. Jones proposes 'to teach the unemployed a profitable lesson in wage earning by selling papers or doing ariything that comes in his way. For the sake of a start trends may put odd jobs in the way. but it will be i "hustle” from the time he has money ; enough to clothe himself properly and i purchase a ticket for New York. It is hinted by some that he hopes to . accomplish the journey in much less time than a year, and on his arrival, on : the Pacific coast engage with dime museum managers to exhibit himself as the man from Boston who starred naked in a race around the world mid came in a winn r. By the time Mr. Jones reaches New . York it will have been heralded about that city that a man with a new idea is- 1 in town. "Now,” says Mr. Jones, i “there is nothin 'in th■> world that up- 1 sets and excites New York like a new i idea. Ido not expect any. trouble in se- 1 curing employment there immediately i and quickly earning my passage money.'j i Mr. Jones will be his own nross atrant | -- - .- -~j ■ • ■.ouurtto ms mends that he will see to it that the newspapers on his route are kept well informed of his doings. A part of each day will bo devoted to writing and mailing advance notices, and when well out on the road that leads around the earth more time will be devoted to writing and sending back accounts of his adventures. He asserts that if Nellie Bly made the trip for The World in 72 days with money, he can do the same without money, and in the 293 days left he thinks he can earn the $5,000. Where this $5,000 is to come from he does not say. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES. The Tradesman's Review of Business for • Week.

The speaker finally ruled that the sugar schedule should take precedence, and the house went into committee of the wholA After two hours of labor the house voted that Mr. Warner’s proposition looking to free refined sugar, adopted at the afternoon session, shall be treated as a substitute and not as an amendment. This releases the house from the tangle in which it adjourned. The paragraph as amended was then adopted by a rising vote. Yeas, 161; nays, 38. A demand for tellers was re ceived, but 19 votes were not enough to secure them. The object of this vote is to put all sugar—raw and refined—on the free list.

A resolution was reported from the committee on foreign relations in the senate and went over without action, declaring it unwise and inexpedient at this time to consider any project of the annexation of Hawaiian territory to the United States; that the provisional gov ernment there, having been duly recog nized. should be allowed to pursue its own line of policy, and that any inter vention in the political affairs of the islands will be regarded as an act un friendly to the United States.

Charleston, Jan. 23.—The negroes employed in several of the fertilizer ' works around the city have gone out on | a strike in consequence of a reduction of wages from $1 to 75 cents a day.

A LAST EFFORT. An Injunction Filed Against Governor Mitchell's Interference. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 22.—The Duval Athletic club is making a last effort to pull off the Corbett-Mitchell mill in the arena which has been built in this city despite Governor Mitchell, Sheriff Broward and the battalion of ■ state troops. That effort was made I Monday evening and is in the shape of , an application to Judge Call of the state 1 circuit court for an injunction to re ' strain the sheriff from invading the property of the club or in any way in i terfering with the proposed so called I “glove contest.” The bill was filed in the circuit court ' late in the afternoon by Colonel Cock- • erell. attorney for the club, and Judge ’ Call agreed to hear argument upon it at : 11 o’clock in the morning. Sheriff Brow ' ard has been notified to be present, as has also State Attorney Hartridge and County Solicitor Christie. As soon as State’s Attorney Hartridge was notified ' of the proceeding he wired the governor, i outlining the text of the bill and asked . for instructions. This procedure prac tically puts the settlement of the case in ’ the hands of Judge Call. If he refuses the injunction it will prove a knock out blow lor the club. If, however, he grants the injunction, it will strengthen the club’s hands, but not necessarily down the governor. The governor has said, time and again, that he would regard the decision of no cir cuit court as to the legality of prize fighting, but has urged the club to get a decision from the supreme court. The club refused to go to the supreme cov t because it knew it would lose. If Cail grants the injunction, Governor Mitchell will have an opportunity to do what he has repeatedly said he would do—name ly, disregard the circuit court's decision I and declare martial law in Jacksonville and Duval county. Injunction Cane Postponed. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 23.—Judge Call has postponed hearing the injunc tion case until morning. Judge Cali granted the continuance upon a motion of Sheriff Broward’s at torneys. He granted it, he said, in or der that Attorney General Lamar, the highest authority in the state, might ar rive from the capital and participate in the argument. The hotels here have refused to house the troops without spot cash. They want ; no state warrants. J udge Call also grant | ed temporary injunction restraining the : sheriff from interfering until the case is 1 settled. Troops will be here 100 strong, but they will keep hands off until the decision is reached. The Christian Morlein Won. Chattanooga, Jan. 23.—The inj tine tion brought recently by the Christian Morlein Brewing company, of Cincin nati, against the mayor and boardof ai dermen enjoining the collection of a privilege tax of $250 assessed against their local agent has been sustained in chancery. This decides a very import ant point of law, to-wit: That a mu nicipality can not legally assess a tax not provided for in the statutes of the state. Brewers’ agents are exempt from ' paying a privilege tax in Tennessee. Chattanooga assessed agents $250, while breweries are licensed to make beer un der a protective tax of but SIOO. Passed the Convict Bill. Jackson, Miss., Jan. 23.—This has been an uneventful legislative day. In • the senate several appropriation bills ' and two bills providing for a soldiers’ home were introduced. A letter was read from Messrs. E. and S. Virden, of this city, offering to donate 80 acres of land beautifully located just north of j Millian's college and ea*t of the Illinois I general rauro.ui lor a soiuiers Home. The house spent much time discussing the convict bill already outlined in these dispatches, and p:issed it by a vote of 104 to 2 with some amendments. Railroad. Combine to Elect Lawmakers. Pittsburg, Jan. 23.—A railroad meet ing of tho railroaders of Pennsylvania, who formed an organization in Harris-1 burg some months ago for the purpose of combining in favor of state legisla tive candidates who would be considered worthy of their support, was held here. More than 100 delegates were present. It is claimed that the organization has a membership of 83,000 in Pennsylvania and controls nearly 100,000 votes. It embraces the Pennsylvania members of all the railroad brotherhoods. A How That Was Fatal. Bristol, Tenn., Jan. 23.—At Kings port last Saturday evening Bob Ketron and Joe Birdwell became involved in a difficulty which resulted fatally to Bird well. The two men were engaged in a quarrel at Ketron’s house when Ketron struck Birdwell in the head with a club. Birdwell lingered until Sunday morning, when he died. Ketron is under arrest. Both were married men and Birdwell had the reputation of being a peaceable citizen, while Ketron was a tough char acter. An Old Employe Killed. Nashville, Jan. 23.—Mike Rooney, an aged car inspector, was instantly killed at the union depot in this city. A switch engine backed up against a car under which Rooney was rep liring the brake, and he was dragged quite a dis tance. When picked up he was dead. His neck and one leg were broked. He was 65 years old, and had been employed by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway 31 years. He leaves a wife and three grown sons. For Cursing the Grand Jury. Chattanooga, Jan. 23.—One of the duttae of the grand jurymen is to ex amine and report on the condition of the county workhouse at each term of court. Ex-Squire J. W. Leigh, who has for a long time been in charge of the workhouse books, conceived the idea that they wanted to oust him from office, and berated the jury in the most scur rilous and profane language. An in dictment for cursing the grand jury was at once found against him. HOWARD’S CASE. He Was Not Allowed to Appear Before the Court ou the Hearing:. Jackson, Tenn., Jan. 23.—JudgeE. S. Hammond, of the United States district court, convened court in order to con sider the bill of exceptions and writ of error in the recent trial of Rev. George Frederick Eurgoyne Howard. It was expected that the prisoner would be brought from the county jail before the court, and all day the court room has been well crowded with the curious, but in this they were mistaken, for late i® the afternooh, when it was decided to hold a night session, his honor stated that the court could get along quite as well without the presence of the prisoner, and so it was settled. At this point, counsel on each side struck a legal snag and court was asked to adjourn, until 8 o’clock at night, 1 which was done. At that hour counsel came in with their differences adjusted, and the court promptly signed the bill i of exceptions. Then counsel for Howard went into argument for supersedeas and bond. This seems to settle the fate of How ard, and it is stated on good authority ; that he will be domiciled at Columbus inside of 30 days. It is said that the prisoner was very much disappointed at not being allowed to again appear be fore the court. In the event that bond is granted Dr. Howard pending the hearing of the supreme court, it is very doubtful if he can make the bond. WHERE DO YOU STAND? That Is What Mississipplans Want Can didates to Tell. Jackson, Miss., Jan. 23.—The Demo cratic caucus organized with Senator Dean |chairman and Hon. Pink Smith secretary. After much discussion and tho offering of many amendments, the following was adopted by a vote of 70 to 60: 1. Were you in favor of the uncondition al repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act? 2. Do you endorse the views of Senators George and Walthall on the silver question? 3. What is your posi tion on the tariff question? 4. Do you fa vor the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks? A motion to striko out the name of George and Walthall and to insert “What is your position on the silver question?” was lost by a tie vote. The caucus fixed the time for the nomination of a successor to Senator Walthall for Thursday night. A motion that candi dates for senator be invited to address the cacus was passed and adjournment was had. The candidates were limited to 30 minutes. Loved the Wife and Killed the Husband.
