VOL. V. No. 2,054.
THE SENATE
Passed the Tariff Bill Tuesday
Night at 10:30.
DEMOCRATS DELIGHTED.
Every Democrat, Except Hill,
and Two Populists Voted
For the Bill.
Washington, D.C.,July 4.—The Tariff
Bill passed the senate,by a vote of 39 to 34.
Every democrat, expect David B. Hill
of New York, and two populists, Allen
and Kyle, voted for the bill. Every re
publican and one populist, PefferJ voted
against it.
As passed by the senate, the measure
goes into effect on the first day of Au
gust. It includes the the income tax
with <4.000 as the limit excepted, and
puts wool on the free list.
The committee amendment which
had been origin a’ly offered by Mr. Hill,
exempting the salaries of the presidentof
The United States and the judges of the
United States courts from the income
tax, was rejected.
The vice president appointed 'the fol
lowing managers on the part of the
senate as conferences. Voorhees, Har
ris, Vest, Jones, Sherman, Allison and
Aldrich.
The size of the majority with which
the democrats passed the tariff bill in the
senate is accepted as a good augury.
Members of the house declare that it
gives them a much better chance to
knock out some of the most obnoxious
senate amendments, especially as the
logical deduction to be drawn from
Hill’s speech, is that if certain raw ma
terials are restored to the free list his
vote will be added to those of his demo
cratic colleagues in favor of the bill,
even though the income tax is not
stricken out.
It would seem now that only two dem
ocratic votes can be placed in jeopardy,
those of the Louisiana senators, if the
sugar schedule is smashed, and these
are offset by the votes of Allen and
Klye.
There is a great rejoicing in demo
cratic circles over the prospact for the
early final passage of the bill, and de
served praise is accorded Senators Har
ris, Best and Jones for keepng the bill
out of I the shoals and away from the
■rocks placed by supposed friendly hands
in its course.

The People of Fulton Speak Out In Strong
Terms For Him.
Atlanta, Ga., July 4th.—(Special.)—

THE STRIKERS.
United S.atesjTroops in Chicago to Soppresß
the Mobs.
1 Chicago, July 4. —Colonel Croftonjand
his six hundred and fifty United States
troops from Fort Sheridan, arrived at
the Nothwestern depot just before mid
night on their way to various riotous
points in and around Chicago. Word
was received at the fort for the troops to
move at 4 o’clock, but the start was not
made until 9p. m., and it took over
two hours to cover the twenty-five miles.
There are eight companies of the fif
teenth infantry, two troops of cavalry
B and Kof the seventh regiment, and
Battery F of the first artillery in the
command. The second train bearing
accoutrements and cannon, pulled after
the troop train, but stopped a quarter
of a mile east of the North Chicago
river.
If the strikers lose, they will be beg
ging for something to eat, as there is no
way for £them to make a living. Real
izing this. President Debs has deter
mined to exercise his full power,and he
will call out everybody over whom he
has the least control, before the week is
out. His latest declarations are to that
effect. Little hope is entertained of ar
bitration, and it looks like a fight to a
finish.
Mr. Charles D. Wood, was in the city
yesterday. He is a regular fanner now
and spends his entire time down on the
farm near Harper’s Station. Charley
saysj'craps" are fine.j
THE_ROME THIBLXK.
A DAY OF SPORT.
Yesterday W»b a Big Day In Rome —The
and Baseball.
Yesterday was the Fourth and every
body had fun and celebrated the day
either by going to the races or the ball
game. A large crowd was at the expo
sition race track and fully 400 white and
black saw the game Os baseball between
Chattanooga and Rome.
A pretty good crowd of out of town
people were here. Early in the morn
ing, various kinds of vehicles from the
country came in a lively stream, and
then still others didn’t ride at all. Every
train coming into the city increased the
numbers, and by noon, the streets were
swarming wih people.
It was a thoroughly good natured lot,
and it was an evident fact that they
were all out to have a pleasant time,
and nobody complained about anything
except the weather. Then they only
swiped off the perspiration, and smiled
in a half mad and half pleased kind of
away.
Mr. Dick Tredaway had a fine barbe
cue at Mobley’s Spring, and a large
crowd went out to enjoy his excellent
Stew and barbecued lamb aand pig.

mence at 3 p. m.
The game of baseball in the North
Rome park was the closest and most ex
citing ever seen on a Rome diamond.
For nine long, heartrending innings,
the enormous crowd was kept in a state
of bewilderment by the fast and sharp
fielding, terrific batting and close score.
It was a game of nip and tuck, but alas
Chattanooga had the “tuck," part of it.
Spence' and: Lumpkin for Rome,smack
ing the hogskin full in the face and the
ball went sailing over the fence for
home runs. Rome out batted the “Put
nam’s,” Jbut the home team’s batting
was not as opportune as the other
crowd’s. The third baseman of the
Chattanooga’s excited the unstinted
praises of everybody by his clean field
ing. He went for everything that came
his way and got it, too. Their infield is
a pretty good lot of ball tossers,and very
few infields hits went by them. The
score:
Rome . . . . 20101200 2—B
Chattanooga . . 21201002 I—9
The same teams play in the North
Rome park this afternoon, at 8:30, and
Billups says he must have the game.

LOME, GA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 5. 1894
FADS, FANCIES AND STAPLES,
ALL AT THE PARKS & CO. STORE.
I
And still at our old tricks
_ t , —giving very much for a very little.
It has been a great sale
—the sale of the Parks stock and the
Flemister stock. You don’t need to guess why—if you have kept posted as
to the prices there. The halt price mathematics will
be kept up till the summer goods of these stocks are sold.
If to you there is power in price carefully examine the catalogue below, and if to
you there is virtue in value come to the Parks Store. Prices tell but part of tne story,
the goods the rest. Put the goods and the prices together and they are invincible—
unmatchable. We are determined to close out this merchandise preparatory for an
immense new stock for Fall Business. Even now where the stock is deficient new goods
are being received daily. So it will not be a tale of “just out” when you come. The
goods advertised will be on hand and not a price, though it be less than half value, will
be dodged.
COME TO SEE US IF YOU WANT GOODS CHEAP.
Millinery.
We like to talk about—to write about
our Millinery Department—of the Airy
Straws, the Canton Straws, the Pearl
Straws, the Leghorns, Milans, White
Chips, the Laces, the Ribbons, the Flow
ers—Montures, Rose Sprays, Imported
Sprays and all the dainty et ceteras that
go to help make up the stock. But that
which most delights us is the evidence of
satisfaction to the people—the unmis
takable evidence that we are meeting the
requirements of the people. For the
people —might call it the whole people—
are buying their head wear on
The Second Floor
of the Parks & Co. Store., and no wonder
At the cut, prices we are making, every
piece and part in the stock is a bargain.
Not that we have cheap millinery—we
have none—but that we have a world of
Millinery CHEAP; and, as water runs
down hill, ladies have come to us for
their supply, and again and again forcing
us to new engagements with Miss Sny dor
our
Peerless Designer and
Trimmer,
after her contract for the season had ex
pired.
Miss Snyder will remain with us a
while longer and the stock will be
kept up.
Take the elevator to the millinery bar
gain mart on the second floor.
