the outputs. There is a little irregu
larity in prices of some grades of pig
iron, but quotations are' well main
tained. The showing of the last eight
months in the production of southern
iron has been the most satisfactory since
the beginning. Both iron and coal
mining are on firm foundations, and
with modern methods, close attention

operations are making these industries
more important each month. Iron is
Steady, at unchanged quotations and

; UNCONSCIOUS, NOT DEAD.
■ A Woman Suffers From Concussion of the
Brain and Is Almost Buried Alive.
j ( Santa Cruz, Cal., Dec. 10.—-Fred
Markham of this city received a letter
ten days ago stating that his mother
had died in Battle Creek, Mich., as the
result of a railroad accident and that
the remains would be interred before he
could reach Battle Creek.
A few days later he was astonished at
receiving another letter containing the
, information that his mother was alive
and would probably recover. The let
ter further stated that his mother’s ap
parent death had occurred when the
. ’ first letter was written. Arrangements
for her burial were then under way but
while the funeral services were in pro
■ gress, the minister, relatives and con
gregation were horrified by a sound from
the coffin and were almost paralyzed
with surprise when a moment later the
coffin lid was broken and Mrs. Markham
found to be alive.
It appears that she had suffered from
concussion of the brain, and for two
days was unconscious.
HAYWARD’S CASE.
Yh. Murderer’s Story of a Secret Marriage
Thoroughly Exploded.
Minneapolis, Dec. 10.—Harry Hay
ward’s latest invention, that he was
married|-ecretly in August, 1894, to Miss'
Stella Goodman, a theater supernumer
j? ary, seems to be thoroughly exploded.
Harry’s desire to see her apparently in
| epired the secret marriage st ry, but the
sheriff fbok no stock in it, ami the
» doomed man was not permitted to see
the girl, although she responded to his
summons.
Iler mother declares tha.t the marriage
story is false, and that her daughter had

his arrest. She had forgotten ever hav
ing met him until his arrest and this
only recalled the fact. She is but 17
years old. She has sent him many flow
ers during his incarceration. Not one
of Hayward’s relatives take any stock
in the tale.
Hayward slept not a moment during
the night, although he lay down and at
tempted to do so. He said:
“I don’t need any sleep. lam going
to have a long enough sleep tomorrow
morning.”
Detective Quinlan has just revealed a
plot of Harry’s to escape death, in
which the condemned man put the ut
most confidence. »
He had seen a fakir show in which a
man was apparently hanged, but es
caped death by wearing a concealed har
ness to which the noose was attached.
He wanted Quinlan to hunt up the fakir
and get the harness. He was to bribe
the sheriff to adjust the noose to the
harness and his parents were to “fix”
the doctors so that they would pro
nounce him dead.
His body would be turned over to his
relatives and he would escape to South
America.
“But I will come back,” he added,
“to haunt and ruin my brother Adry.”
Quinlan apparently acquiesced, but
did nothing in the matter.
THE TURK TOO CUNNING.
He Seems to Be Match For All Europe,
The Situation In the East.
[Copyrighted, 1895, by Associated Press.]
Constantinople, Deo. 10, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Dec. 10.—The promised sur
prise in the eastern situation, the flight
of Said Pasha to the British embassy,
which was followed by the landing of
British bluejackets from the British
guardship Cockatrice and the British
ambassador’s “yacht” Imogene, which
caused much complication and delayed
considerably the settlement of the dis
pute between the powers and the sultan
as to the admittance of extra guardships
into the Bosphorus, has about worked
itself out, and matters are now resum
ing their usual aspect.
The cunning of the Turk, it seems, is
still a match for all the strength of Eu
rope, although it is said that the inter
view which the Russian ambassador,
M. De Nelidoff, had with the sultan, a
message from the czar was delivered,
insisting upon the prompt granting of
the firmans for the passage of the extra
guardships through the straits of the
Dardenelles.
But such statements have frequently
been made before and pe >ple here are
beginning to believe that the powers
have about exhausted their stock of
threats and that the time for action has
arrived.

SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE.
This New Department Im to Be Inaug«>
rated at the American University.
Washington, Dec. 10.—The Ameri
can university has just completed an
agreement with the board of counsel of
the Temperance Educational associa
tion by which the latter agrees to secure
and transfer to the university $250,000
on condition that there shall be inaugu
rated, as one of its departments, a col
lege of scientific temperance.
The scheme originated with Mrs.
Mary H. Hunt of Boston, the well
known leader in scientific temperance
instruction, and Vice Chancellor Beiler.
It is the purpose of this department,
like all others, that it shall be post grad
uate. and devoted chiefly to original re
search.

THE ROME TRIB UN r, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11. 18‘J5.
BRADLEY INSTALLED
First Republican Governor in the History
of Kentucky.
AN IMMENSE CROWD WAS PRESENT
He Declared in Favor of Sound
Currency
AND CONDEMNED MOB VIOLENCE
The Newly Elected Governor, In Taking
Charge of the Affair* of the >ta e,
Made a Speech.
Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 10.—William
O’Connell Bradley was sworn in as
governor of Kentucky, and the first Re
publican administration in the .history
of the commonwealth was ushered in.
Never before was such a crowd seen
in Frankfort. There were ten times as
many people here by noon as ever be
fore came to witness an inauguration.
Cincinnati sent 500 representative Re
publicans. Covington and Newport sent
1,000 members of half a dozen clubs.
The Garfield club of Louisville swelled
the delegation from that city to several
thousand people. Two special trains of
ten coaches each, which came from
Lexington, were packed and many were
unable to get aboard.
Colonel Bradley with his wife and
daughter arrived on a special train from
his home at Lancaster, and became the
guest of Colonel L. P. Tarleton, a lead
ing Republican. All the other state
officers elect'd were on hand.
At 11 o’clock the inaugural procession
was started by the firing of salutes on
Arsenal hill. The First regiment. K. □.
G., under the command of Colonel John
B. Castleman and the Second regiment
under Couel E. H. Gaither, were in the
van. Then came Governor-elect Brad
ley and Governor Brown in a carriage.
Other carriages bearing distingushed
visitors followed. Then came organized
clubs and delegations of citizens on foot.
The procession was a lengthy one and
comprised four divisions.
At noon it reached the statehouse,
where the inaugural stand was located.
Fully 20.000 were gathered to hear and
witness the ceremonies.
Mayor Julian' presided. Dr. W. 0.
Taylor offered prayer.
Judge W. H. Holt delivered the ad
dress of parting and welcome. Then
came the valedictory of the retiring
governor, John Young Brown.
Governor-Eiect Bradley followed with
an as follows:
The credit and honor of the state and
nation apt o' the first imp <rtance. Tfie

in favor of the use of both gold and silver
as money, but. at the sam ■ time the main

value, shoul I be accepted and adhered to;
and i bile public credit should be protect
ed. ve suould nmet he less avor a well
rezul ted system of protection to every
branch of American industry; such a sys
tem as will e icourage genius nourish and
in. rose diversified industries, maintain
and < i)large a home market aud protect

of th" old w ield.
Together with this should be. fostered

The accomplishment and maintenance

Above all things, the constitution and
laws within its spirit must be enforced.
Every citizen shall be protected in life,
liberty and property at whatever cost. I
solemnly appeal to the people in every lo

effective in the suppression of crime than
thecultivat.on and expression of a healthy
public sentiment which will hold in just
execration e.ery criminal, more especially
th* murderer and assassin.
Mob violence, which has its home in the
breasts of cowards, should be prevented
at all hazards, and if committed, should
be properly and severely punished. Such
action is an open declaration of the want
of confidence in the courts, and, instead of
promoting does serious injury to the wel
fare of the state. The commission of crime
to punish crime can find no apologist in a
Christian civilization.

see the right; be just as He enables me to
determine what is just, and. by the love
that I cherish for the state of my birth,
do all that within me lies to advance h r
prosperity, enforce her laws, protect her
citizens and maintain her honor, remem
bering always that I am not a governor of
a party, but of all the people.
The oath of office was administered
by Chief Justice Pryor.
Standing with his head bared beneath
the American flag, with his right hand
uplifted arid his left resting on the Bi
ble, Colonel Bradley repeated the words
which made him the chief executive of
the grand old commonwealth.
nenacor Hire’s Bill.
Washington,Dec. 10.—Senator Squire
of Washington has introduced a bill to
increase the efficiency of the personnel
of the navy, and particularly to
strengthen the usefulness and numbers
of the engineer force. It increases the
number of the engineers, thereby pro
viding against the further prostration
of the corps from overwork, and en
abling proper care to be taken of machin
ery of our vessels. It further confers
actual rank on engineer officers, and
places them in full command of their
men and in addition, provides for filling
vacancies in [lie corps from the great
scientific schools of the country.
ST. LOUIS THE PLACE
For the Next National Republican Con
vention.
DATE FIXED FOR THE 16TH OF JUNE
It Was a Very Interesting Meet
ing Yesterday.
WORKING FOR SAN FRANCISCO
And That City Lead For a While, But St
Louis Came in on the
Home S retch.
Washington, Dec. 10.—The Republi
can politicians assembled early and in
numbers at the Arlington to pull con
vention wires and incidentally to pro
mote the interests of their several presi
dential candidates. There was nearly
as much presidential talk as that about
which city would win the prize, for be
side the convention boomers, there were
many congressmen and politicians at
large on the grouiul.
Regarding convention cities there
were only four seriously in the field —
San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis and
Pittsburg. It had been reported that a
delegation from New York was on the
way over night, but no one seemed to
possess information concerning its per
sonnel, except, that General Daniel But
terfield headed it. as it arrived late aud
had not b Q gun work at 10 o’clock.
The Pittsburg delegates were most
conspicuous because of the large badges
displayed on their coats; but the Chi
cago and St. Louis men were particu
larly enthusiastic in thqir camnaign,
while the delegates from the Pacific
coast who had the interest of San Fran
cisco in charge, wore characterized by
unfailing optimism. They had author
ized M. H. De Young to hold out almost
any financial inducement within reason,
and he announced that no question of
money could stand in the way of Cali
fornia's success.
Shortly before 10 o’clock the politi
cians gathered in the flag-draped ban
quet hall of the hotel and were seated
in a semicircle, with members of the
national committees in the center.
There was a noticeabie sprinkling of
negroes.
Mayor Swift and his associates of the
Chicago delegation secured seats in a
body on the right of the chairman’s
desk and far enough in the rear to per
mit individual members to move about
and spread the glories of Chicago.
Sam Affierton, who was to present
Chicago’s claiius, circulated with the
committeemen, paving the way to his
more rormal speech. Senator White
and a Slimber of the California men sat
along side of the Chicago people. The
Pittsburgers scattered through the hall,
with a half dozen centers of operation.
New York’s forces also were somewhat
scattered. The St. Louis men, having
headquarters adjoining the hall, divided
their energies between the committee
and their rendezvous.
Several ladies, most of them wives of
committeemen, were in the side seats,
reserved for spectators and a few mem
bers of congress also were present.
It was halt past ten when Chairman
Carter rapped the mooting to order and
the roll of the committeemen was called.
There was no response when several
states were called, the absentees being
Alabama, California, Delaware. Dis
trict of Columbia, Kentucky, Missis
sippi, Missouri, New York, North Da
kota and Wyoming, but it was said that
there were committeemen or proxies for
most of these states in the city. Alaska
had a representative.
Mr. Hahn of Ohio read a telegram of
congratulation sent to Governor Brad
ley of Kentucky by a special committee,
of which he was chairman.
Chairman Carter asked the delegates
to agree to a half horn- limit for pre
senting the claims of their cities.
General Butterfield, for New York,
responded: “It will take but a very
brief time for New York to demonstrate
her superiority.”
Representatives of other cities agreed
to the limit suggested.
Powell Clayton of Arkansas moved
that delegations be heard in alphabetical
order by states. His motiou was car
ried.
At this point, Chairman Carter, in
impressive ’ nes addressed the meeting
in an unexpected direction. He said he
was not accustomed to notice the many
•‘silly, unfounded and malicious stories”
put afloat at times with a purpose to
arouse prejudice and excite ill feeling.
But a reflection had been made on the
members of the national committee,
and they had been placed before the
country in an unenviable position.
•‘Under such circumstances,” said
Mr. Carter emphatically, “I desire to
state in behalf of this committe that at
no time, under no circumstances, di
rectly or indirectly, has any person or
persons urged that the good graces of
this committee should be influenced by
any mercenary considerations what
ever.”
There was a ripnle of applause at the
announcement. Mr. Carter proceeded
to state that geographical considera
tions largely influenced the . feelings of
the committee. And, he went on, aside
from this, the only purpose of the com
mittee was to consult the purposes and
requirements of a gj’ea't gathering and
to make a choice based wholly on
fitness.
The preliminaries over, the oratory
began, and General N. P. Chipman of
California, was introduced by M. H De
Young to present the Golden Gate’s
claims.
The action of this meeting, General
Chipman began, was to decide whether
or not California was forever to be a
nalitical deoendency. Hfi spqke of Ban
Francisco as the metropolis of a power
ful and ever growing country, where
the children or the east and their chil
dren’s children were to find their homes
for centuries. Over 77 per cent of the
territory and 28 per cent of the popula
tion of the United States came from
west of the Mississippi river; 25 of the
51 committeemen came from beyond
that river. That country was an em
pire that might have a mighty influence
on the political destinies of the country
if it should stand together as it ought;
yet many of those who legislate for the
country know nothing of this section.
Only twice had a Republican conven
tion been held west of the Mississippi,
though the states of that section gener
ally had stood a solid column for the
Republican party.
Good politics might dictate San Fran
‘ cisco for the convention city; to hold it
there would show the party to be one
which has the interests of every section
at heart and would keep the west in the
republican party.
Objections had been urged against
every city. One committeeman has
said to him that a Sail Francisco con
vention would be called a rich man’s
convention and would hurt the party,
but to meet this a rate of $25 for the
round trip would be offered.
The speech making closed by Repre
sentative William A. Stone seconding
Dalzell’s presentation, of Pittsburg’s
claims and then the committee ad
journed until 2 p. m.
The committee fixed the date for
June 16th.
The first ballot stood: San Fran
cisco, 20; Chicago. 8; St. Louis, 13;
Pittsburg, 9; New York, 1.
The second ballot resulted: San
Francisco., 19; Chicago, 8; St. Louis,
14; Pittsburg, 9; New York dropped
The third ballot was as follows:
San Francisco, 19; Chicago, 9; St.
Louis, 18; Pittsburg, 5.
The fourth ballot stood: San Fran
cisco, 19; Chicago, 9; St. Louis, 22;
Pittsburg, 1.
On the fifth blot of St. Louis won.
TO RECOGNIZE CUBA.
The Matter Will Be Pressed Soon After
the Organization of the House.
Washington, Dec. 10. —There is no
doubt that a movement to recognize the
Cuban insurgents as belligerents will
be pressed upon the attention of the
house soon after its organization has
been completed by the appointment of
committees.
Possibly a resolution may be reported
from the committee on foreign affairs
of its own motion. This is talked of,
but if the committee does not care to
take up the matter itself there are in
fluential members outside who are ready
to assume the initiative.
One of thorn is Representative Bro
derick of Kansas, who was a member
of the judiciary committee of the last
congress. Mr. Broderick hopes that
some member of the foreign affairs com
mittee will champion the cause of the
Cubans, but he has resolved to prepare
a resolution himself, if no action is
taken by members who are particularly
identified with diplomatic matters.
He believes that the course of this
government toward the republic of Tex
as and toward Mexico, when Maximil
lian was undertaking its conquest, fur
nishes precedents for recognition of the
Cubans, and that the course of Spain in
recognizing the southern Confederacy
soon after its formation, furnishes pro
vocation, if any be necessary.
The fact that it is a matter of com
mon knowledge that Cuba is in a state
of war, furnishes sufficient ground for
this government to proceed, Mr. Brod
erick says, even if Spain denies the ex
istence of war. An organized army
’making an organized revolt against the
government, is sufficient in his opinion
to establish belligerency.
Speaking of the cause of the Cubans,
Mr. Broderick said that they have
greater cause to rebel against Spain
than the American colonists bad for
their revolution against Great Britain,
as every possible mode of taxation has
been resorted to to oppress them.
Mr. Broderick thinks that congress
ional sentiment is iu favor of recogni
tion of the Cubans.
What Allen W. (la« to Say.
Columbus, 0., Dec. 9.—When seen
by the Associated Press representative,
Mr. Allen W. Thurman of this city,said:
“When my sister was last in Colum
bus I bought her interest in my moth
er’s estate —something like 1,000 acres
of land, I believe. She wished the .
money to use in developing her mining i
interests, which at that time were con
siderable. Mr. Holliday, her husband,
is an industrious young man and they
have been active in prosecuting and op- ,
erating mining properties for some time. ,
I have not heard from them, however,
and thus cannot say anything positively.
Os one thing you may be sure, how
ever,” smilingly added Mr. Thurman,
“and that is I will not desert the cause
of free silver simply because we may
have a gold mine in the family.”
Surrendered by His Bondsmen.
Manchester, N. H., Dec. 9.—Dr. J.
O. Moore, president of the defunct Com
monwealth National bank, and one of
the People’s Insurance company, now i
in the hands of a receiver, and al so con- !
nectcd with several other financial in
stitutions in this city, was surrendered i
by his bondsmen and he is now in the '
custody of an officer at his room in the j
opera house block.

the exposition was cloudy and threaten
ing. The main delegation from the
Peninsular state reached the city at 9
o’clock. and after breakfasting at va
rious hotels, made their way in groups

TO IMPEACH BAYARD
A Resolution is Introduced in the House
by Mr. Barrett,
IT CAUSED QUITE A SENSATION
Grlsp, of Georgia, Defends the
Ambassador.
HE QUIETS MR. DINGLEY, OF MAINE
Senator Cullom, of Illinois Addressed the
Senate on theM inroe D ct'iae— Dra
matically Delivered.
Washington, Dec. 10.—Two Massa
chusetts Republican congressmen caused
sensations soon after the house assem
bled. Representative McCall offered a
resolution calling on the president to
report to the house whether he had
| taken any steps to ascertain if reports
of speeches of Ambassador Biiyard had
delivered in England and Scotland were
i true, and if true, what steps if any had
1 been taken to recall or censure said
', Bayard.
McCreary (Dem., Ky ) immediately
1 objected, when Mr. McCall’s colleague,
Mr. Barrett (Rep., Mass.) came forward
to a question of personal privilege and
sending to the clerk’s desk had read a
.resolution for the impeachment of Mr.
■ Bayard.
Beth resolutions complained of Mr.
: Bayard’s reflections on America’s pro
| tective system as state socialism and in
references to the United States needing
a “real man” like Cleveland to gcv'rn
“a strong, self-confident and often times
violent po nle.” The Barrett resolu
tion declared these utterances were iu
manifest disregard of the proprieties and
calculated to injure our national repa
j tation and directed the foreign affairs
committee to examine the utterances in
; that speech and to draft and report ar-
I tides of impeachment to the house.
Mr. Crisp of Georgia objected to the
' Barrett resolution as not privileged, but
I Speaker Reed overruled him aud Bar
rett made a brief speech declaring Bay
' ard sought to aggrandize his party i>.t
the expense of his country and citing
the senate’s action in Van Buren’s case
as justifying his resolution.
Crisp followed Barrett, defending
Bayard, accusing the Republicans of
simply wishing to air their protective
theories and defying them to pass an
other tariff bill. There was a sharp col
loquy between Crisp and Dingley of
Maine, the latter declaring Bayard had
violated his duty in denouncing half of
! his countrymen and when Crisp pressed
him hard to know if he believed Bay
ard’s words were impeachable, Dingley
replied that in his opinion they were,
but the policy of doing so he (Dingley)
doubted.
Senate Work.
The senate adopted a joint resolution
offered by Jones of Arkansas, authoriz
ing the secretary of the interior to sus
pend the removal of intruders in the
Cherokee country until there shall be
an appraisal of the vulpe of improve
ments made by them.
Mr. Cullom (Rep., Ills ) then address
ed the senate on the Monroe d ictrine.
The senator’s remarks were in sup
port of the Monroe doctrine. This gov
ernment, he declared, is not one of con
quest or of usurpation. It we would
still keep up the march of the republic
in this world of competition and strife,
and maintain our national honor with
our territorial unity and integrity, we
must have some affirmative, distinctive
idea or policy of such simple and un
questioned propriety that, it shall receive
the universal sanction cf our people.
This much is div r 'iirseives, con
tinued.the senator. : > : >y no lapses on
our pafrt can it be ' u . said that we are
too long sleepin" .i our just rights.
And this, too, i ;j to Europe, that the
governments of .cirope may know thi t
75,000,000 of American citizens, speak
ing through Meir representatives in con
gress are a unit iu maintaining the
American doctrine of James Monroe;
