He does Not Go Into the Merits of the Bill, but Gives Expe riences of Tariff Reform. z New York. Feb. s.—Professor Wil son was the star guest at the annual banquet of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation, at the Hotel Waldorf. The fact that he was there gave more than usual public interest to the festival. It was thought that he might make a great speech on the ques tion which is now so close to the hearts of the people, but he did not. The banquet itself, which was held in the gorgeous ball room on the first floor, was all that could be desired. Those who sat at the head table with Mr. James were Congressman Wilson, Charles Emory Smith, Richard Watson Gilder, President J. G. Schurman, of Cornell university, Rev. Robert S. Mc- Arthur, E. S. Drone, William Dods worth. Dr. Edward Eggleston, Congress man Joseph C. Hendrix. Congressman elect Isidor Straus and Captain Ambrose Snow. At the other tables were repre sentative business men. ' President James did not make a speech, but introduced, informally, Con gressman Wilson. Mr. Wilson is a tall, spare man, with long gray hair brushed down over his head from a midway parting. His toast was “The Experi ences of a Tariff Reformer.” He made no effort to go deep into his subject, but for 10 minutes treated it from a half se rious and half humorous standpoint. “The experiences of a tariff reformer," he said, “are the same as those of all other men who attempt reforms. If re form was a popular and an easy thing we should have a perfect national government, a perfect state government, and’-a perfect municipal government. There are plenty of reformers; but as a matter of tact, reform is only a popular thing when it is knocking at the other man’s door. The city of New York is the only part of this great country which is not tainted with sectionalism, and which has at heart the prosperity of the Union at large. What is best for thfl country is best for the city of New York. If I can say anything about the five months of hard work in which I have been engaged as chairman of the ways and means committee in congress, it is that now, because of that labor, I have a stronger and a greater love for my coun try. and a greater confidence in it and in its future than I ever had before. “We learn to respect the patriotism of those who disagree with us. I have been meeting lor the last few months the so-called robber barons. I have found that the average tariff robber is a pretty good sort of a fellow. While he has his ideas and I have mine, yet I find, as a rule, that we are actuated by the same motive —the good of the coun try. “It is because men who believe in their souls that they are unjustly taxed that tariff reform exists. At the same time we should renwinber that this is a great country, with widely diverging iterests, and the needs of no one section can govern it. We must try to do the best we can for all, and that is what we are trying to do in the revision of the tariff. If we are successful in getting tariff reform, which the people of this country have demanded, there will be plenty of rough and dreary roads for the reformers of coming generations to travel over. Greatest among these reforms * which have to be accomplished is the reform of the civil service in national, in state, and in local government. Re form is like the measles, it will not be exhausted in any one generation.” Charles Emory Smith responded to “The Trade of Statesmanship and the Statesmanship of Trade.” fie said in part: “You are here at the heart and centre of the trade of a continent. The other day the secretary of the treasury met the bankers of New York. For a month his proposed loan had languished and failed. It was clouded in doubt and dis trust. The day after the secretary and the bankers met face to face the loan was taken and the credit of the nation ‘ was secure. It was the response of pa triotism to the call of public duty. And if the statesmanship which is charged with the welfare of the country would sit more frequently and attentively at the shrine of trade it would have a clearer vision and a loftier inspiration. For, in the emergency, the appeal to pa triotism is not made in vain. We all felt the glow of American pride when the credit of the republic, in whatever hands it was placed, suffered no stain. We all thrilled with exultant joy when the flaming shot of the Detroit across the bow of the Brazilian insurgent in the distant bay of Rio gave warning that the American flag, whether on cruiser or on merchantman, must everywhere be re spected.” Richard Watson Gilder, responding to “Civic Patriotism,” said: “Within the past few years men of philosophic minds have feared that the Democratic experi ment in the New World has signally failed in the local government of our city. Recent events and the shadow of coining events have given a brighter color to the views of the discouraged. Yet the fact that few of our large cities have thoroughly solved the problem of self-government is the most conspicuous and most alarming present failure of our free institutions. But who caw be blind to the fact that whenever an evil has shownitself in our body politic, imme diately a nucleus of opposition has been created, a healthy movement of reform has sprung into existence and the wrong has been right.” Dr. Edward Eggleston, speaking to “Tbs ForefathflEß. at Trade and Trans-. purbaviou in IJew iuik, naxu; xv woo the prompting of trade that led Christo pher Columbus to penetrate the myste ries of the Sea of Darkness, and find this new world. The trade center is al ways readiest to strike for liberty. It is commerce that insists on equitable laws, on order, on public honesty. Trade has crimes to answer for, but its virtuous achievement far outbalances them. BIG BLAZE IN SAVANNAH. Brick Block Destroyed and Adjoining Property Endangered. Savannah, Feb. 5. —The large brick block on Bay street, occupied by the Savannah Grocery company, is burning fiercely and will be a total loss. J. M. Ferst & Company adjoining are in the gravest possible danger, as is also the store of Collins. Grayson & Company. It is impossible to estimate the loss, but it will be very heavy. A high wind is blowing. The fire started at 10 o’clock in the guano warehause of Wilcox, Gibbs & Company and burned through the iron shed to ths rooms of the Savannah Gro cery company, a six story brick build ing, which was soon wrapped in the flames. The store of the Savannah Grocery company, with SIBO,OOO, in sured for $130,000 was consumed. The fire next extended to the M. Ferst wholesale grocery store, three stories, and that is now burning. Stock $150,- 000, insurance $125,000. The building belongs to Wilcox, Gibbs & Company, valued at SIOO,OOO. The fire proves to be the largest since the great conflagration of April 1889, The loss is estimated at nearly $500,- 000 all told. The Savannah Grocery company was three stories high on Bay street and six stories on River street, and run back to water front; Fersts Sons two stories on Bay street and three on the river front. The weather is very cold and the fire hard to get at. The buildings stand half way on a high bluff. The flames are now under control. The estimated loss to Wileox, Gibbs & Co.’s guaro works is $25,000. Arthur Toshack, a fireman, fell from an aerial ladder, striking on his side on the ground. He was not badly hurt, however, and got up and want to work. THE STORM IN ALABAMA. A Church Blown Down nml Worshippers Caught Under the Roof. Bilmingham, Ala., Feb. 5. —The storm which passed over here Saturday night was more destructive than was at first supposed. Tne Congregational church at Gate City, six miles distant, was blown down while a meeting was being held by the Christian Endeavor society. About 40 people were present, one of whom, a lady, was killed, and nine se riously injured. No apprehension of the stonn was felt until a heavy wind struck the build ing; shattering several windows. Those inside started for the door, but before they could reach it the roof was lifted and dropped in the midst of the congre gation, carrying down with it the frame walls. A majority of those present were caught under the debris and groans went up from every portion of tho wreck. The following is a list of the killed and wounded: Mrs. R. H. Prichard, wife of the su perintendent of the Alabama rolling mill, was dead. Mrs. James Miles was badly crushed and probably will not recover. Richard Miles, leg broken and inter nally injured. Charles Oleson, several ribs broken and serious internal injuries. Miss Annie Birdsell, spine injured. James Hartshorn, head bruised and internally injured. James Arthur, leg broken. Mrs. William Morgan, bad cut on the head. Syd Drumhiller, thigh broken and otherwise Injured. Rev. W. R. East, head and shoulders badly bruised. Every person in the house was injured more or less.

A Bank Shot Dead In Ills Trackj by Four Brothers. Scottsboro, Ala., Feb. 5.—-R. C. Ross, cashier of the bank of Scottsboro, was shot dead hy four brothers— Bob, Tot, John and Jim Skelton—all prominent business men of Scottsboro, Ala., and it took place within 50 feet of the depot. Ross fell dead at the first - onslaught with a load of buckshot in his temple, fired, it is thought, by John Skelton. F. D. Bloodworth, brother in-law of the dead man, was wounded in the arm. The deceased was accused some weeks ago of seducing Miss Annie Skelton, a sister of the Skelton boys, and was intim idated into leaving Scottsboro. Tho brothers, who are very high strung, de termined men, got wind of Ross’s pres ence in the neighborhood, and oama on him at Stevenson about 12 o’clock, while he wae waiting for the Chattanooga bound train. The two were taken un awares, and did not return the fire. All parties concerned are very highly connected, and move in the upper ten dom of society. The Skelton boys, who were armed with shotguns and rifles, were arrested and taken to the county jail at Scotts boro. Considerable excitement now prevails in Jackson county, where the parties are well known, and their standing is of the best. Ribbon Factories Resume. New York, Feb. s.—The big silk rin bon factory at Egg Harbor City, N. J., resumed operations with a big force of operators. Industries are starting up everywhere in Atlantic City. KOM.K UA„ IIJJSSDAY MOKNJNO, FEBKuAKY B, IBU*. A CRISIS IN RIO Insurgents Will Make a Des perate Attempt. THE FATE OF DA GAMA. The Rebels Will Land Their Forces and a Decisive Bat tle Will Be Fought. (Copyrighted, 1893, by The Associated Press.) Rio de Janeiro, Feb. 4.—Unless the present indications turn out to be incor rect the fate of President Peixoto and Admiral DaGama and his followers will be decided Monday. During Saturday night and Sunday the insurgents steamed their ships into positions of advantage, preparatory to making a thorough and decisive attack upon government posi tions at Nictheroy. It is especially to be understood this is a final and desperate effort upon the part of the insurgents and that on its success everything depends, so far as revolution U concerned. It is expected that the in surgent commander will have succeeded tn landing a torce on the shore, which Covered by the fire of the rebel vessels, will advance upon the government's positions and a final buttle is then ex pected to be fought. Foreign warships are closely watching operations and there has been no further interference of any sort up to time this dispatch is filed. General opinion ashore seems to be that the insurgents will be defeated and that>a collapse of i the rebellion in this part of the country ■ at least, will immediately follow. i THE DAY IN THE HOUSE. i The Hnwnlian Debate Continues—Also l Unparliamentary Language. 1 Washington, Feb. s.—The Hawaiian ' debate was resumed by Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, who had five minutes. ' Before he had proceeded four minutes, ’ however, Mr. Outhwaite had called him to order for unparliamentary language. i “To what language do you refer?” asked t Mr. Morse. . “To the insulting, inpudent and un c parliamentary language just used,” an -1 ewgyed Outhwaite. 3 Morse, according to the rule, took hie , seat, an 4 the words excepted to were read at the clerk’s desk as follows: “And ; yet, strange to tell, at the command of r their master, Grover Cleveland, hie cuckoos in the house and senate, staunch southern Democrats who are the loudest 3 shooters for a white man’s government, disregard all their ancient traditions ’ about the white man’s supremacy and 3 white man’s government.” 1 The speaker ruled that the language was unparliamentry to speak of mem -0 bers of the house and senate as being . controled by their master —the president. 0 Morse explained that he had in reading 5 his remarks omited several words from his manuscript and he said if the words , objected to were offensive he would 1 withdraw the words, “controlled by their master, the president.” Before Mr. Morse could proceed, after ' his explanation and withdrawal, his . time expired. 1 Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, then took the floor and made a strong speech ar " raigning the course of the present ad ministration in attempting to restore the 1 deposed queen. I Working Men and the Wilton Bill. Washington, Feb. 5, —Senator Hale presented resolutions reciting that the 3 representatives of various industries and 1 of laboring men desire to be heard for the purpose of presenting their objec j tions to the Wilson tariff bill and the directing the finance committee to I give an opportunity to all persons representing the interests affected and tho industries and labors of the people of j the United States to be heard by the committee before it shall report its ac (. tion to the senate.

Washington, Feb. s.—President ’ Cleveland has decided that on account 3 of the pressure of public business, he • cannot attend the funeral services of t Mr. Childs in Philadelphia.

Paris, Feb. s.—Auguste Vaillant, an archist, who threw a bomb in the cham ber of deputies Dec. 9, was guillotined at 7:10 o’clock Monday morning at prison De La Roquette. Vaillant's last words as ha was led to the guillotine were: “Death to Bourgeois. Long live an archy.” About 1200 people were present. This settles the question which has for some days agitate 1 Paris, whether Vaill-i ant would die upon the guillotine or have his sentence commuted to lite im prisonment. The decision that he must die is regarded here as a defeat of the revolutionary party and a triumph for the opportunists, who since the bomb ex plosion, have been demanding the en forcement of vigorous measures, and the strictest application of the law as a lesson to the anarchists. There is no doubt that President Car not, who has been anxious to act in strict accordance with the constitution, was considerably perplexed as to what course he should take Vaillant’s case. All the memorials and petitions sent to him by sympathizers of Vaillant, were referred *by him to the pardon commit tee at the ministry of justice. The fate of Vaillant nominally rested with the president, but in such cases he was guided by his adviser, the minister of justice. Despite all the efforts of the revolu tionary, socialist and anarchist newspa pers to compel Carnot to assume the re sponsibility, he refused to do so. Among the most affecting petitions received at the Palais de L’Eysee, was one which, it is claimed, was written by Sidonio, the daughter of Vaillant, to Madamb Carnot, beseeching the latter to interfere in behalf of the anarchist. All Paris was intensely excited over the execution, and a tremendous crowd was in the streets near where the execu tion took place, but there was no dis turbance. TRAGEDY IN COLUMBUS. A Deaf Mute Kills His Father In Defense of His Mothers Columbus, Ga., Feb. s.—Mr. Clift Thompson, who is a mute about 23 years of age, walked calmly into the police station Ano tioned for a piece of paper, and wrote: “I have killed my father, and have come to give myself up.” The sergeant was dumbfounded, but the boy was evidently telling the truth, bo that the officer took him in charge. The son killed his father with a razor, cutting his throat, and inflicting a big gash in the back and on ths right shoul der. The killing was in defense of the young man’s mother, and from the statements made by the mother and son, it was justifiable. The father, whose name is James Thompson, was a machinist and a good workman, but there were times when he i would let whisky get the upper hand of him. When under the influence of liquor he was very fractious and unkind to his family. Thompson came home very drunk and was boisterous and belligerent, and his wife and little children had to go to a neighbor’s house for shelter and protec tion. The son, Cliff, who is a printer, was at his case at The Ledger office, and did not reach home until about 3 a. m. He went to his room and retired with out any knowledge of the night's occur rence. The wife and mother stole quietly home about half past 5 o’clock. She feared a renewal of the trouble, and first went to her son’s bed and awakened him. The son got up and dressed, and then the wife let her presence be known to the drunken husband. It was as the wife anticipated and feared. The husband immediately be gan to abuse her, and he would have handled her roughly had not the son in terfered. The father turned his attack upon the mute, and. the latter claims, was trying to get his pistol, when he cut him. Mrs. Thompson, in the meantime, had been forced to jump through a low window to escape. After receiving the cuts the father staggered from the room through the hall and fell on the floor of a rear room. The son hastened to his sister’s bouse, about two blocks off, and communicated to her what had occur red. From his sister’s house Thompson went directly to the police station and and gave himself into the custody of the officers. Public sympathy, of course, is with the young man. CLEANINGS. Jus Ice Court Meet*.. Justices Lumpkin and Harris will open their court in the new city court room this morning. Mrs. Ledbetter Improving. Mrs. A. W. Ledbetter, who hssbeen quite ill at her home on Sixth avenue for several weeks, is some better. To Assist the Rector. • Mr. Clarence Wood will Gave for An niston today where he will assist the rector of St. Michael’s church until March, when he will return to Tennessee. Dr. Felton’s New Office. Dr. Howard E. Fe’ton is hiving a nice suite of office rooms fitted up in the an- nex of the Masonic Temple. He will move into his new quarters in a few days. Attending Supreme Court. A great many of Rome’s attorneys were in Atlanta yesterday attending the supreme court. Among them were R. A. Denny, George Harris and J. B. F. Lumpkin. A Card Party. A pleasant card party was given at the residence of Mrs. Eastman last night. Quite a large crowd of the young people were present and a most enjoyable time was spent. Planting Less Cotton, Rev. Wm. Treadaway, formerly a resi dent of this eounty, but now a prosper ous farmer near Rockmart, arrived in the city yesterday on business. He says that the farmers in bis section will not plant as much cotton as they did last year, but will devote moat of their time in raising i tome supplies. Mr. Bradford Leaves Mr. George Bradford, who has for a long time held a responsible position with Mr. G. M. Battey, left for Kuoxville, Tenn., yesterday, where he will accept a more lucrative position. Mr. Bradford was very popular in Rome, both in busi ness and social circles, and bis departure is deeply regretted. He made hosts of friends here who wish him unlimited success in his new field. •‘The New South •> “The New South,” the play in which Joseph R. Grismer and Phoebe Davies are making such a decided hit, is now on its southern trip and will probably be seen in Rome in a short time. The play is on the style of “Alabama,” and is a melo-drama, pure and simple. The scene of the play is laid in Georgia in 1885, and while it is a play of today, it contains true southern types of anti-bellum days. Will Take Recreation. School Commissioner Bridges has been confined at his office for several weeks making contracts with teachersand at tending to other matters pertaining to the duties of his office. During this time he has been very busy, but this week he will take a little recreation by visiting the schools in the county. He reports all the public schools open but twelve. Bridges is an worker and an en- thusiast Ob the School question. SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES. , 1 Some Fine Sermons Preached to Large Congregations. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a large audience greeted Rev. J. T. Gibson, at the First Methodint Sun day morning. It was sacramental day and the sermon was beautifully appro priate to the occasion. The Doctor’s ex ' position of the Word was as usual, elo quent and forcible, full of gospel fervor and spiritual wisdom. At the night ser i vice Rev. M. L. Troutman occupied the puipit and a large and appreciative > audience was present. His text was ' taken from Matthew, 22nd verse, 2nd chapter, and his discussion on the sub ject was the outcome of much study and research. He showed first that it was man’s duty to be loyal to country and ' render unto his fellow man bis just dues. That no man could be loyal to God if he was disloyal to his fellows. After ad - vancing many sound teachings on the first clause of his text he then took np the second, “Render unto God the things which are God’s,” and he gave a beau’.i. fal outline of man’s duty to his Maker. Both services were fraught with much interest and all present were highly pleased. Rev. H. W. Burwell, of South Carolina, preached at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning. A large congregation greeted this able divine and every one were highly delighted with his eh quent and logical discourse. The services at St. Peter’s Episcopal church was ususually interesting. The able discourse of Rev. C. B. Hudgins showed thoughtful and careful prepara tion. A large congregation was present and every one enjoyed the services. At the First Baptist. The morning sermon at the First Bap tist church was devoted to missions, a subject in which Dr. Headden is always at home and happy. He was especially so on Sunday, and his appeal to the church to spend and be spent for others was earnest and elequent. In the course of his remarks he used an illustration of singular force. “The warm heart, full of love to men is the one that attracts peo ple to Christ. It is not necessary that a man should be rich or learned. He may be uncultured and poor in this world’s goods, but give him the love of his fellow man and he will draw like a magnet. You may put a wedge of gold into a ves sel of iron fillings and few will adhere to it, but put in a small magnet and see how they cluster about it.” Electric Light Plant Burned. Meridian, Miss., Feb. s.—The Thom son-Houston electric light plant, valued at $50,000, was burned at 11 o'clock. Insurance about $40,000. The r Inated in the engine room. price hve cents.
