THE ROME TRIBUNE
VOL V. NO 2,023.
1 THE CONVENTION
I Which Met at the Court House
Yesterday-
SOME VERY LIVERY TALK.
Atkinson Men Want Places In
. the Evans Delegation—
They are Notin it.
It was a wild team that Col. D. B.
Hamilton had to drive yesterday. The
conventiordwas anything but a tame one,
and Col. Felix Corput did the Bucking
[ Broncho to perfection, while Vince San
ford held the lariat and performed the
cowboy act in fine style. Every time
L the Colonel raised a kick, Vince slung
Lliis boose, and brought the broncho to
I his knees. The colonel was full of met--
| tie however, and had to be lassoed a' on t
I a dozen times, before he finally submit
| ted! to the inevitable.
I The Evans men had rO of the 150 del-
Xeagtes , and the Atkinson men were
helpless so far as results were
Bboncerned; indeed the convention would
have been a little tame, but for the pres-'
‘ ence of Colonel Corput, who despises a
dull time, and kindly entertained the
delegates with a few pyrotechnics very
artiscally set off with a buncombe res
olution.
The Colonel wanted the Evans men
to send some Atkinson men to Atlanta,
and resoluted to that effect, but his
game would not work. They were
liberal enough to divide on the executive
' committee for the county, and also on
the congressional delegation, but when
it came to the gubernatorial delegates,
as Mr. John Black, the warhorse of
campaign expressed it, they “put none
but Evans men on guard.”
"“Preliminary to the work of the con
i vention, the Evans delegates, represent
ing nine of the fifteen districts, held a
caucus at eleven o’clock and agreed on
a line of action, an executive committee,
and a list of delegates to Atlanta , on
the executive committee, they listed the
niae districts and left the others blank
to be filled by Atkinson delegations, as
, it had been customary for each district
to elect its own member on the executive
committee.
1 ’ The caucus adjourned us at ttwelve
( o’clock and the Evans men went in a
body into the superior court room,
where Mr. Halstead Simth, chairman of
the old executive committee, called the
convention to order, and stated that the
test business would be to receive the
ands of delegates. Col. D. B. Hamilton
first Mr. J. J. Black objected on the
ground that this was unsurping authori
ty. The'chairnian of the executive com
mittee, they held, could do no more
than call the convention to order and
leave it to make its own temporary and
perm anent organiJzation. Mr. Smith
stated that he would entertain no con
tests, and . Mr. Black then settled it by
nominating Mr. Smith for temporary
, chairman. Fifteen districts reported
lists of delegates , and on motion of Mr.
Max Meyerhardt, Col. D. B. Hamilton
I was made permanent chairman, Mr.W.
G Cooper and Mr. G. K Green were
then elected secretaries. Colonel Ham
iltn made a ringing speech for harmony
and was loudly applauded.
Colonel Felix Copurt opened the ball
by asking what representative the dis
tricts had in the convention. The chair
* said, a former convention had fixed the
number at 50 for Rome and 10 for each
k of the others, butthe executive commitee
P had provided for the election of ten dele-
I gates from each district to this conven
tion, without settling the relative voting
strength. Mr. Halsted Smith confirmed
this.
1 Colonel Corput then moved that each
. district voe ten in the convention. Mr.
John Black was willing to accept this as
he said the Rome district had not Insisted
on more, but Mr. Vince sanford of
F Foster’s Mill, said it was not right to
put Rome, with her 1,017 democratic
votes, on the same basis with a district
which cast only thirty-six. He moved
to amend by giving the Rome district 50
votes.
At this, Colonel Corput opened up
hj£ pyrotechnics on the rights of country
[ districts. He said fifty would be fair
for Rome in a nominating convention,
but the nominations had been made .by
direct vote of the people, and this was
/ merely a .business body. He thought
there were other things besides the dele
gates to be attended to.
“Why we b|ve given you part of the
executive cor '’ttee,” said Mr. Black.
‘Oh!‘ exclai- Col. Corput,”! didn’t
know you had Voted yet. What sort of
a slate have you got. We have heard of
| a jegislative ring, but we didn't know
r you had one here.”
| "We have got control of this conven-
I tion and we propose to hold on to it,’’said
I Mr. Sanford laconically, at this there
’ wafi tremendous applause.
'Who do you mean by “we?” said Col.
Corput.
“1 mean the Evans men; the Evans
men are in control,” said Mr. Sanford
serenely, and there was more applause.
Colonel Corput took his medicine good
naturedly. “My friend Sanford will
give away the whole racket if he keeps
on,” said he.
‘We’ll put it through,whether we give
it away or not,’ said Mr. Sanford, and
again he was applauded.
Mr. Black renewed his request to Mr.
Sanford to withdraw J his amendment in
the interest of harmany, and Mr. San
ford said he wonldjdo so for the time,
ancWColonel Corput’s motion was carried
.Dr. W. C. Nixon moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed to consoli
date the vote of the primary, and the
motion was carried. The chair ap
pointed Dr. Nixon, Mr. Max Meyer
hardt and H. C. J. Price, who settled
down to the work at once.
1 The election of an executive com
mittee was taken up and the committee
i men were nominated by the delegate
I from each district and confirmed by the
convention, which also elected Mr.
L J. J. Black and Mr. W. H. H. Camp
at large. The list is as
'
County Executive Committee.
Dr. Nixon reported the consolidation
of votes as follows:
The Governor, Atkinson
812
For Secretary of State, Clifton 526,
Candler 98, C. H. Smith 467.
For Comptroller General, W. A.
Wright, 1,776.
For Treasurer, R. U. Hardeman,
1,784.
For attorney General, J. M. Terrell,
I,
For commissioner of agriculture, R. T.
Nesbitt, 1684, John O. Waddell, 169.
For members of the legislature: J. H.
Reece, R. T. Fouche, 1,027, M. R.
Wright, 1,340, C. W. Underwood, 843,
W. C. Bryan, 623.
For Congress, J. W. Maddock, 1,644;
R. W. Everett, 1.
THE GALE.
After this came the gale. Colonel
Corput offered a resolution that the
delegates to the gubernatorial conven
tion be instructed to vote for Gen. C. A.
Evans, and use their best efforts for his
nomination. To this he added a para
graph, providing that the be 15 dele
gates and each district elect one, each
delegate to count two-fifths of a vote in
case they "could not agree.
This set Colonel Hamilton on fire,
calling Mr. Cooper to the chair, he took
the floor and denounced the resolution
as a trojan horse. “After such a con
test,” said he, “we would not come here
and ask you to send us to Atlanta, if you
had carried the county. We are too old
to be caught by any such trick as that.”
Colonel Corput kept fighting for his
resolution saying there was something
else in the state conventions work more
important than nominating governor.
The financial question was to be dis
cussed.
Mr. Black said each district would be
represented, but by Evans men. Mr.
Sanford, said that if he had foreseen
this he would have insisted on giving
the Rome district fifty votes in the con
vention. He said the men to work Gen.
Evans in the convention, were' those
who fought for him and loved him.
Mr. Black said that Col. Corput did
not expect any such thing as he asked,
and that he would go behind the barn
tomorrow and laugh at the convention
for entertaining it.
Col. Corput insisted on his resolution
and Col. Hamilton put it vivavoce, and
announced the result. Col. Corput was
trying to get the attention of the chair
to ask a vote by districts and contended
that he had asked it before the result
was announced. He appeared to the
convention, but pending the appeal, Mr.
Meyerhardt asked the chair to let the
vote go by districts.
Here Mr. Black offered as a substitute
a list of names as delegates. The vote
was taken by districts, and the substi
tute was adopted, making the delegates
to Atlanta as follows:

disturbed the convention with too much

ACTS AS A STAY.
Alabamians Under Sentence Get a Long
Stay of Proceeding*.
Washington, May23.—JohnW. Todd
and his 12 associates who were convict
ed in the United States court for the
northern district of Alabama last year
for beating two government witnesses
and sentenced to five years’ imprison
ment each in the Stillwater, Minn., pen
itentiary, will not have to go to prison
for some months, anyhow.
After conviction and sentence an ap
peal was prayed for to the United States
supreme court in their behalf, and they
were released under bonds of $1,006
each. Nothing having bean done to
Serfect 1 the appeal, Solicitor General
lax well, for the government, asked the
supreme court some days ago to docket
and dismiss the appeal so that the de
fendants -might be. taken under sentence
to the penitentiary.
Congressman Denson, of Alabama,
counsel for the men, appeared fir thesu
preme court and asked that the time in
which the appfal might be perfected be
extended, exhibiting a message from the
clerk of the court in Alabama, saying
that a transcript of the record had been
ordered by defendants’ counsel on Fri
day. Judge Fuller atmounoed that ac
tion on the appeal Would t» postponed
until the next term of c<Wt. This acts
as a stay of all proceedings until Octo
ber. ■ . ; : ‘ ’•
THEY ARE SORRY.
The Treatment of the United State* Flag
at St. Thoma* Cauaed Regret.
Ottawa, May 28.—The cabinet has
considered the representations of Consul
General Riley regarding the tearing
down of the United States flag by Cana
dian soldiers at St. Thomas, and the
minister of militia ordered the deputy
adjutant general of the district to freely
investigate the affair.
So far as information received here
goes the work was that of a gang of
rowdies. If the facts are as believed
the minister of militia says the culprits
will be punished to the full extent of
the law and an apology tendered the
United States.
The authorities here express great re
gret over the unfortunate affair, believ
ing that capital will be made of it to
stir up unpleasant feelings against Can
| ada among those who are watching for
such incidents across th e~ border.
Investigating a Texas Teacher.
Austin, May 28.—The regents of
Texas university are investigating a
i charge that Professor Charles L. Ed
! wards, of the chair of biology, is and
has been openly teaching Darwinism.
The regents met and for three days were
in secret session, and then adjourned
until the regular June session; when the
question will be again taken up, to
gether with Professor Edward’s resig
nation, which it is understood he has
tendered. He is a John Hopkins man,
but finished his education in Germany,'
whence he came to Texas university.
Passengers Have Rights In Baltimore.
Baltimore, May 98.—1 n a case affect
ing the rights of passengers on Balti
more’s rapid transit lines, Judge Wright
of the city court holds that when pas
sengers are compelled to leave the shel
ter of a car and stand in the street until
they can be carried to their destination,
they have legal grounds for suing the
company.
The French Want Pay.
Chicago, May 28.—A suit for $1,000,-
000 damages was begun in the United

IN WASHINGTON.
The Senate Investigation Com
mittee Still at Work.
MR. WALSH TALKS SOME.
House Passed the Bill Extend
ing the Time for Settlers
to Prove Property.
Washington, May 28.—The senate
sugar investigating committee consid
ered the case of witnesses who have re
fused to disclose the source of their in
formation upon which they based arti
cles concerning the alleged acts of sen
ators and the sugar trust in connnection
with the construction of the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill. The commit
tee had previously summoned Shriver,
Edwards and Walker, to appear. Har
ris Walker, correspondent of the Daily
Commercial, of New York, was the first
witness called. Walker refused to give
the name of the person who had given
him certain alleged information con
cerning the sugtir trust.
Messrs. Shriver and Edwards were not
called.
The committee is nearing an agree-
to what to do with recalcitrant
Witn*ses before proceeding further, and
it is likely that the fact of their refusal
to answer will be reported to the senate
with a request for instructions as to the
future course of the committee.
The report of the sugar investigating
committee that will be made to the sen
ate tomorrow will disclose a procedure
on the part of the committee entirely
unlooked for, and some testimony that
appears to have important bearing upon
the 'subject of a conference between
senators and members of the sugar
trust.
The committee will report, it is said,
that they have directed the United
States district attorney to proceed
pgainst witnesses Shriver, Edwards and
Walker before the grand jury and have
them indicted for commission of crime;
the committee holding that under the
almost forgotten act of 1857 the refusal
to testify before the senate committee
is an offense so punishable.
The committe will also submit the tes
timony of >Senator Caffery, which is said
to admit that a number of conferences
were held between senators and repre
sentatives of the sugar trust. It is said
that in his evidence, Mr. Caffery admit
ted that he had been present at two con
ferences, and in reply to questions, said
that one of them was held at the resi
dence Os Senator Brice.
It is understood that at this confer
ence Ms, -Caffery said there were pres
ent -bestfib hi’pseW, Messrs. Brice, Gor
man and Hill,' and Havermeyer, presi
dent of the sugar trust, and other gen
tlemen interested in sugar whose names
the reporter could not ascertain.
‘ Mr. Caffery also told the committee
that at this confeerence the sugar peo
ple made an argument in favor of a
change from a specific rate of
duty, which had, at that time,
been agreed upon to an advalorum rate,
Which was subsequently adopted, but
that he, Mr. Caffery, opposed this
change, believing that the specific rate
was better for the producers of sugar in
this country.
Bank Claim* Allowed.
The comptroller of the currency has
declared dividends in favor of creditors
of insolvent national banks as follows:
The second dividend, of 50 per cent, in

ing to $68,699.
The fourth dividend of 10 per cent on
the First National bank of Wilmington,
N. C.. making in all 50 per cent in
claims proved, amounting to $551,329.

AGAINST THE APPELANT.

Saratoga, May 28. —The general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church, sit
ting as an ecclesiastical court, handed
down its decision in the matter of the
appeal of the Rev. Dr. Henry Preserved
Smith, of Cincinnati. By an over
whelming vote on the part of the con
servatives this highest judicial body in
the church affirmed the decision of the
synod of Ohio, that Professor Smith was
guilty of heresy.
The vote was on the question: “Shall
the appeal be sustained?” Commission
ers were instructed that they could vote
“not to sustain,” or “sustain in part.”
It was explained that “not to sustain”
was in opposition to Dr. Smith; “to
sustain” was to favor him, and that
“sustain in part” was to modify the
sentence against the appelant.
The result, as officially announced,
was as follows: Not to sustain, 394; to
sustain, 54; to sustain in part, 41.
The synods which cast solid votes
against Dr. Smith were: Atlantic, 7
votes; Kentucky, 6; Missouri, 16, Ne
braska, 15; New Mexico, 6; Oregon, 8;
and Utah 4.
Those which voted solidly in favor of
Dr. Smith were: China, 2 votes; India,
1; and Texas 5.
Baltimore was 12 to 1 against Pro
fessor Smith: California, 19 to 3; Ca
tawba, 6 to 1; Colorado, 4to 2; Illinois,
27 to 5; Indiana, 15 to 7; Indian Terri
tory, 1 to 6; lowa, 29 to 1; Kansas, 16 to

result, said:
“The judgment of the synod of Ohio
against Henry Preserved Smith is af
firmed.”
A DISAPPOINTED GIRL.
Gave All Her Savings to Her Deceiver and
Went Crazy Over It.
Davenport, la., May 28.—Friedrich
Hamm, a German of somewhat prepos
sessing appearance, who came to this
country as an attache of old Vienna, a
midway plaisance feature of the World’s
fair, arrived in Davenport three months
ago and secured employment as a bar
tender in the principal saloon of the
city. He ingratiated himself into the
affections of a young girl named Mary
Strathman, the daughter of a respecta
ble family.
A few days ago he induced the girl,
who was infatuated with him, to with
draw a considerable sum of money from
a bank and place it in his hands. He
then disappeared, and is understood to
have gone to New York. When Miss
Stratham learned of his departure, she
became violently insane, and has been
committed by the county commissioner
to the hospital for the insane at Mount
Pleasant.
WEAR SHORT DRESSES,
And Be Careful Who You Kiss as a Pre
ventative of Disease.
Orange, N. J., May 38.—The Orange
board of health has, recently, discussed
the question as to whether diphtheria
are likely to be distributed by
kissing. It was decided to ifisue a circu
lar advising people to refrain from kiss
ing in all cases where there exists the
slightest ground for suspicion of diph
theria. Then the board took up the
subject of trailing gowns for street
wear. The sanitary committee advanced
the argument that the dirt and dust of
the highways are usually impregnated
with numberless germs of disease, which
are caught up by the trailing gowns and
distributed about residences. It was
decided to warn the women of Orange,
by circular, to hold up their trains or to
wear short drosses in the streets.
Work for th© Unemployed.
Anderson, Ind., May 28.—The An
derson Iron and Bolt company and the
Anderson Flint Bottle company have
announced that operations will be re
sumed at their works. The bottle works
remain union. The starting of the fac
tory is considered quite a victory over
flint bottle concerns now idle, and
threatening to start up as non-union in
Indiana.
More Work for the Unemployed.
Minneapolis, May 28.—The problem
of the unemployed has been taken up
here in earnest. The ways and means
committee of the council has decided to
issue bonds to the amount of SIOO,OOO at
2 per cent to furnish the money for an
extensive scheme of public improve
ments.
A Catholic Paper Missed.
Chattanooga, May 28.—Facts, the
organ of the Catholics in this city, has
not made its appearance this week, and
evidently has suspended. This paper
has weekly waged relentless war on the
American Protective association, pub
lishing lists of names of residents of this
and adjoining cities, supposed members
of the anti Catholic organization. Fi
nancially the paper has not been a suc
cess.
Senator Gorman Reported very in.
Laurel, Md., May 28.—Senator Gor
man is very ill at his residence near
Laurel. Upon reaching his home from
Washington Saturday evening he was
so ill that it was necessary for him to
go to bed, and he has been there ever
since.
Shot While Resisting Arrest.
Kansas City, May 28.—Dave Tomp
kins, a desperate negro ex-convict and a

Satolli is Said to Be Arch
bishop Corrigan.
Rome, May 28.—The pope is very
much annoyed and displeased with the
turn which the Catholic trouble in the
United States has tak.n, and is determ
ined to stop it soon, and at any cost.
The holy father has made all efforts un
til now to obtain peace, but every marl
coming from the United States brings -
news of some new trouble of which the
public is not informed. There is a
whole case full of documents concern
ing the ecclesiastic dissensions in the
United States since the first discord be
gan, about two years ago.
Notwithstanding the (denials and the
public declarations of Mgr. Satolli, it
appears evident that a struggle still ex
ists, and now may be considered as lim
ited to Mgr. Corrigan and Mgr. Satolli,
and on the side of the latter are drawn
up in line of battle Mgr. Ireland, Dr.
McGlynn and their partisans. In fact,
the last mail, too, has brought new doc
uments, proving according to the send
ers, that Mgr. Corrigan has conspired to
destroy the influence of the papal dele
gate in the United States.
Mgr. Satolli has all the favor of the
Vatican, which is satisfied with his
work. It is worthy of special note that
the Jesuits, who at the beginning op
posed the papal delegate, now, it seems,
are pleased with the result, and es
pecially with three acts of Mgr. Sa
tolli.
1. The letter that Mgr. Satolli wrote
in defense of Bishop Thomas Bonacum,
of Lincoln, when the latter was charged,
with libel by the Rev. Father Corbett,
assisted by Father Phelan. This letter
was the best defense of the Episcopal
authority against the two priests, the
papal delegate insisting that ecclesias
tics should not drag each other into the
secular courts, but should settle their
differences in the manner prescribed by
the church, so averting scandals. In
fact, the court declared itself an incom
petent judge. In this the Jesuits saw a
change in Mgr. Satolli’s policy, which
they had thought would always be for
the priests against the bishops.
2. The condemnation of the Western
Watchman, of St. Louis, Mo., edited by
Father Phelan, which had published at
tacks against Cardinal Cammillo Maz
zella, Jesuit, against the Civilla Catol
ica, the authoritative Jesuit organ. At
that time the pope, regarding these at
tacks, had Cardinal Rampolla, secre
tary of state, write a monitorium to the
Western Watchman through Cardinal
Gibbons, but the attacks still contin
uing, Mgr. Satolli condemned the paper,
together with the Northwestern Chron
icle, another St. Louis Catholic paper,
for reproducing the articles.
3. Because Mgr. Satolli, from motives
of prudence, was induced to show out
wardly friendship toward Mgr. Corrigan
who is in a certain way the patron of
the Jesuits in the United States.
A MARCH
Populbt Delegates Will Walk to Little
Rock to the Convention.
Little Rock, May 28.—The Populist
state central committee has decided
that delegates to the state convention,
which convenes here July 19, should
march overland, instead of coming by
railroads. On July 9 delegations will
start from various counties in the in
terior of the state and proceed across the
country in wagons, on horseback andon
foot, directing their course towards Lit
tle Rock. At different places along the
route the army will be swelled by dele
gations from adjacent counties, and at
a number of towns stops will be made
and Populistic principles will be pro
claimed by speakers of that belief. The
several delegations are requested by the
committee to bring as many other Popu
lists along with them as possible. In
short, the entire People’s party of Ar
kansas is invited to fall in and march to
Little Rock.
Nebraska in Distress.
Omaha, May 28.—Reports of a great
drouth in the far western part of this
state are received at the Union Pacific
headquarters here. The farmers have
been unable to raise a crop or obtain
water for stock. As a consequence hun
dreds of farms in Lincoln and adjoining
counties are being deserted by their ten
ants, who are moving eastward in
wagons. No rain has fallen in weeks,
and all vegetation is parched.
Held Up In Case of Trouble.
Washington, May 28.—N0 assign
ments of infantry from the regular army
are being made, as is usually the case,
to join the national guard in camp this
summer. The reason given at the war
department is that the indications of
trouble along the railroads are too seri
ous. With the pending strikes and Coxey
movements, it is deemed best to keep
the infantry commands at the posts near
the cities where orders can be carried
out quickly.

Elgin, 111., May 28. —President Avery,
