Washington, March 24. —Although n proposition to report the bill for the re peal of the 10 per cent state bank tax has been killed in the house committee on banking and currency, it is intended to bring it before the house for action. The committee has authorized Chairman Springer to report the bill for the relief of certain banks, chiefly in the sonthern states, which during lust summer issued clearing house certificates in various parts of the country. Representative Johnson, of Indiana, protested against this action of the com mittee for the reason that it would per mit the friends of the repeal to offer that proposition as an amendment to the bill, but he received no support. When Mr. Springer calls up the bill named, which it is understood he will do at the earliest practicable day, it is said that Mr. Cox, of Tennessee, will move to amend by adding a section to repeal the state bank tax. Then the whole matter will be before the house for consideration, and a somewhat ex tended debate is anticipated, and it is thought not improbable that Mr. Cox’s amendment will receive the votes of a lhajority of the house. Maddox Meets Objections. Washington, March 24.—There were less than 50 members on the floor when the hoiwe riot. Mr. Maddox, of Geor gia, asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a resolution directing the secretary of the navy to declare a vacancy at the naval academy from the Seventh Georgia district. Mr. Maddox explained that ex-Secretary Tracy had appointed George F. B. Stone, of Wash ton in 1800 to till a vacancy from this district. Mr. Dingley, Republican from Maine, thought it would be a peculiar hardship to dismiss this young man after being three years at the academy, Mr. Hop kins, Republican from Illinois, thought the proper way to correct this abuse of power of the secretary of the navy was by the passage of a general bill, not by special bills, and he therefore objeceJ.

INVITED THE PRESIDENT. Citizens of Fredericksburg Want Him to Visit Their City in Muy. Washington, March 24.—The presi dent has received three committees from Fredericksburg, Va., representing that city, the Mary Washington Monument committee, and the Masonic fraternity, who extended an invitation to him and Mrs. Cleveland, as well as the members of the cabinet and their wives to attend the dedication of the monument at Fred ericksburg May 10. The president regretted that it would be impossible for Mrs. Cleveland to ac cept, but he thought he would be able to go, provided he would not be expect ed to remain away from the White House over night. An effort was made to get his promise to attend the Masonic banquet on the evening of rue dedica tion, but he said he must decline. He said his illustrious Democr Hie pre decessor had gone to Fredericksburg on a similar occasion and stayed several days, but public business was now too pressing and if he got away at all he would have to take a special train to the celebration in the morning and re turn the same afternoon. He said Mrs. Cleveland was very anx ious to go, but it was impossible for her to leave her youngest child so long. Sec retary Herbert saw the committee and promised to send the marine band to the dedication and furnish all needed flags for the decoration in addition to attend ing himself. Invitations have also been extended to the British and French ambassadors and the Mexican minister, and favorable as surances have already been received from them, and from a sufficient num ber of state and national officials to in sure a worthy celebration. -HEARD THE EVIDENCE. How a G.orgla Jury Maintained Law Again.* Judge and Lawyer.. Maoon, March 24.— The United States court at Maoon, presided over by Judge Emory Speer, frequently furnishes rare entertainment, and is often the theater of dramatic incidents and pathetic scenes. Jurors and a crowded court room of spectators witnessed the unus ual occurrence Friday of a jury recol lecting evidence differently from what the judge and the district attorney and the lawyer for the defendant did. The jury found Benjamin W. Gray, of Monroe county, guilty of illicit dis tilling. The verdict was contrary to the charge of the court. Judge Speer, D.s trict Attorney Gary and the defendant’s attorney. John R. Cooper, were of the opinion that the evidence did not dis close that the offense had been commit ted in Georgia, and, in fact, did not show in what state it had occurred. Jndge Speer suggested to Attorney Cooper that he make a motion for a new trial for his client. When court 1 convened Mr. Cooper tiled his motion, but District Attorney Gary stated that the jury maintained that the place ' where the offense was committed was | proven by the testimony of one of the I ' witnesses, who swore oositiyely that the ’ THE ROME TRIBUNE | ouense nappenen in oUits comny, ureor- , | gia. Investigation revealed the fact that the jury was correct, and Judge! Speer disallowed the motion for a new trial. RECONCILIATION FOLLOWED The Wife Went After a Cup of Coffee. Found in Dakota.

SHOT WIFE AND ACCUSER. Barricaded in His Own House He then Held a Crowd of Be saigers at Bay, Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 24.—John Rohl, a resident of Plains, near here; was mysteriously murdered Friday night. As a result of the dispute over the crime a double murder was commit ted, and the wife of the murderer was accidentally shot and badly wounded by him. John Sanders was returning from work at 5:30 o’clock, when he was met by a number of men, who accused him of complicity in the murder of Rohl and of attempting to put the blame upon Louis Vistoskie, the man who is now in jail accused of the crime. Sanders replied that he was innocent, but the men continued to taunt him and several threw stones at him. He turned to fight, when one who was armed with an axe starred for him and he ran to his home. His wife says when he came in he was wild with anger and swore that he would kill anybody who accuse I him again. Shortly afterwards their boarder, Mike Boshock, entered the house, and while the wife was preparing supper in the kitchen she heard the men quarrelling. Boshock was one of the crowd who, in the road, taunted San ders and he evidently revived the sub ject, as in a few moment# he and San ders were fighting. As the wife went in, her husband threw his assailant down and rushed into his bedroom. In a moment he reappeared with a revolv er, and as Boshock jumped to his feet Sanders opened fire. The first bullet missed and struck Mrs. Sanders in the right thigh. Fright ened she fled from the house, and as she did so Sanders again fired, the bullet entering Boshoek’s left side just below the heart, and going completely through the body. Sanders fired again. This time the bullet missed and sped onward towards a crowd of people who were approaching the house, and struck a 1- year-old boy in the arms of its mother, Mrs. Philip Hendershot. The bullet passed through the child’s arm into its left side and through it’s heart. A crowd of men had by this time col lected, and at this horrible sight rushed toward the murderer’s house with loud shouts of "Kill the villain! ’ But San ders had closed and barrod the kitchen door. He aimed lus pistol through the window and cried out that he would shoot the first man that came to the door. The crowd then retreated and Boshock was taken to the hospital near by, where the physicians said he could not live through the night. Mrs. San ders was carried into a neighboring house. The murderer barricaded himself in the second story of the house, to which the only entrance was by a rear door on the top of an embankment. About 8 o’clock Detective Whalen, with several deputies, reached the scene. He found the murderer on the watch. He had lighted lamps in the front and back rooms, and could be seen walking about. He was hailed and told to come out quietly, but made no reply; then, under cover of an attack in front, an attempt was made to gain the rear door, but Sanders was alert, and a number of pis tol shots drove the detectives back. A heavy fusilade was then kept up on the house for half an hour and several ad vances were made, but each time San ders was there and kept up such a hot fire that the assailants were- unable to effect an entrance to the house. Sheriff Walters was sent for, as the crowd was so excited that they threat ened to burn the house. The sheriff left the city at 10 o’clock with three depu ties, all heavily armed, and Walters said that if it was necessary he would have the house burned to the ground, and if the man did not run out he could burn to death. Awaiting the arrival of the sheriff the men on guard kept up a fire on the house whenever they saw the murder er’s shadow pass the window. Finally he put out the lights, and with the place in total darkness the beseigers had noth ing to aim at. but kept up a desultory fire, while a line of men surrounded the house at a safe distance inorder to make it impossible for the man to escape. At 11 o’clock Whalen and Squire Per kins resolved to make a rush, and while a bombardment was kept up in front they, with several others, ran for the back door. They met with no opposi tion, and battering it down with an axe, sprang into the room. Lying on the floor in apool of blood was the mur derer. He wae unconscious. In one hand was a revolver, empty, and near by was the other, also Umpty. He had been shot in the back and a ball had passed through his jaw. He was carried out and the crowd made a rush for him with cries of “Lynch him!” String him up!” “Drown him!” but the detectives and constables kept the body, and with drawn revolvers ordered the crowd back. Then, borne upon the shoul i<-rs of four men and guarded by a number of otherr, he was carried to the jail, about two miles dis tant. in this condition, and there he lies safely behind the bars.

Thompson, a clother, has been grant ed a divorce fro n his wife, MiyA. Thompson, on the grounds of desertion. May was a handsome young woman and a dutiful wife until her head was turned ly the glitter and glamour that surround European aristocracy. She left her home for life in Europe with one of the nobility, and now she is de serted destitute and penitent, without home or kindred, and in a foreign land. In May, 1893, Mrs. Thompson be came infatuated with Count George Karolyi, who shocked the old world by marrying an actress. Thompson bus pected nothing, and when she wanted money to defray the expenses of a visi to her mother in Kansas City, he read ily gave it to her. She left on the same train that Count Karolyi took for the east, and as she kissed her husband goodby she told him he would never see her again. Then ho learned for the first time, of her duplici ty. He tried to protect her reputation as much as possible, and even after he had commenced suit for divorce shield ed her by asserting that his wife had be come infatuated with the count’s little daughter, and had taken a place as gov erness to the countess. A letter from his wife was introduced in evidence by Thompson. It was from Goerz, Austria, and the wife makes a pathetic plea to be allowed to return to her husband, or if he will not permit that, she would be pleased to have him make her a weekly allowance, so that she could live in Paris and learn a trade. ANOTHER AFRICAN WAR. The British Propose to Kill Oat Another Kingdom. London, March 24.—A dispatch from Uganda reports that the British have declared war against the powerful King Kabaraga, of Unyoro. It is believed at thhe was incensed at the erection of several British forts upon his territory, and that he is marching against the friendly Klug Toro, who permitted this. The British force, under Captain Rod dy Owen, with a number of Nubian sol diers and a Maxim gun, has been dis patched to meet the force commanded by King Kabaraga. Widespread trouble is expected. Unyoro is in Equatorial Africa, on the western border of Uganda, and a little east of the centre of Africa. The late Sir Gerald Portal persuaded King M’ V mga to allow him to proclaim a British protectorate over Uganda after the beginning of the recent religious feuds which distracted that region. The Western Union Telegraph com pany was advised from London that the cable communication between Bonny, in British Guinea, and the Cameroon's, also on the west coast of Africa, was in terrupted. This may signify further trouble in the Cameroons, where the na tives mutinied not long ago after the whipping of some Dahomeyan women Hr rkrdftr nf the (lorman anvArnor. Th a cruelties practiced by the German colo nists there have been made a subject of an investigation by the German reichstag. THE SITUATION. An Editorial in The London Times on American Politics, London, March 24.—Tho Times prints a leading editorial on American politics, being informed by its Philadelphia cor respondent that “the wave of enthusi asm which elected President Cleveland has ebbed so fast, owing to a universal revulsion of sentiment against the in competence and mismanagement of the Democratic leaders, that were elections to occur now the Republicans would gain a signal victory,” and that “Presi dent Cleveland is less blamable than the victim of circumstance beyond his control.” Upon this representation of the state of affairs The Times comments thus: "If the Americans have reasons to ap prehend a worse state of affairs from the continuance of the Democrats in power than they experienced under the Repub licans, the situation must be gloomy in deed. “We think, however, that it is rather the intolerance and deplorable vacilla tion of the Democrats in dealing with the tariff and silver questions than the belief that the Republicans would do better than before that creates the sit uation. Americans know how to accept a dead loss, to write off bad debts and start afresh. What they cannot toler ate is the prevalence of the uncertainty which obstructs the revival of trade.” D! S P UTED TESTIM ON/ Judge Bradley Examines Depositions in the Pollard-Breckiurldge Suit. Washington, March 24. —Last Thurs day, in the trial of the Pollard-Breckin ridge case, objection was made by coun sel for Miss Pollard to the evidence con tained in the depos’t'ons presented bv the defense concerning Miss age, conversations regarding aer had with James C. Rodes, her deceased lover, and with reference to her ability to resist improper advances from men. Some of the objections were sustained and the evidence ruled out; to which exception was taken by the defense. In the other instances J udge Bradley had decided to postpone the reading of certain objectionable passages in tho depositions until he could examine into the matter, an 1 accordingly it was agreed that he should hear argument on the admission or exclusion of the dis puted evidence at 10 o’clock a. m. Shortly after the appointed hour the 2”™ments began, but behind c’^ oea doors. Q" 1 7 Colonel Breckinridge and his at torneys an<i the counsel for Miss Pollard Were present. The reason for the se crecy was to prevent objectionable tes timony from being made public through the newspapers, thus bringing it indi rectly before the jurymen, who are to be kept in ignorance of the character of the evidence unless Judge Bradley’ de cides that it is competent and may bo read in court.

The Kingstonians had a game of mar bles under way and the Rome boys joined them, Blount Hamilton ‘‘go fat” for the first time in twenty years. From that moment he appeared to be more comfortable and very happy. In this way and in conversation, the time soon passed and there was no sign of weariness when the northbound pas senger rolled in with General Evans at 5: 30 o’clock. The rear v»cntrril iiat was discouiiected from tile W. & A. train at the switch a hundred yards from the depot and it was a race with forty starters. The young and fleet got there first, but the old veterans soon caught up. As the foremost group climbed into the cai - ; General Evans greeted them with smiles an-’ a j iearty hand shake. “I mdn’t expect you to Gbine so far,” said he. “Why, General,” I said Mr. C. M. Harper,‘‘this is only the skirmish line There is a whole reg iment behind us” And so it seemed when the whole delegation crowded into the car, General Evans stood in the cen ter of the aisle shaking hands with them as they came up, and it was noticeable that he knew personally almost every man and called him by name The Gen erl was in good trim,apparently as fresh as if he had just risen from a morning nap, and his face beemed with pleasure as he recognized old friends. The trip to the city was spent in pleas ant conversation and it seemed but a few minutes before the First avenue depot was reached, There the General was welcomed with cheers from' the crowd and a brass band struck up with soul-stirring air of Dixie General Ev ans gracefully bowed his acknowledge ments of the greeting and was escorted to a carriage by Mr. J.
