The Amend Honorable.
By one of those unhappy mistakes,
unintentional, but none the less aggre
vating both to the reporter and the
wronged party, credit was given in yes
terday mornings Tribune to No. 1 for
being the first at the scene of the fire at
Wooten’s stable. It is apparent to all
that it was simply one of those hitherto
chronicled “unhappies. *’ No. 2 and her
gallant drivers are due the palm, and it
is herewith tendered with the utmost
good will.

Bass Bros’, opening will end this even

the most successful exhibition of its
kind ever seen in Rome. Those who
have not seen it should not let the day
pass without visiting the store. The
decorations on the second floor by Mrs.
Morgan and the work-room creations by
Miss Baker can not be too lavishly com
mended, while the co’lection of -dress
goods aud match trimmings and the
felicitous arrangements of them, in dis
play, on the main floor, make an eye feast
f»r every lover of the beautiful. Wc
again recommend a visit to Bass Bros,
store today. An opportunity of witness
ing such an opening may not come again
to Rome.

THE ROME TKIBUNE. SATURDAY. OCTOBEB 2, 1895.
IS IT CO INCIDENCE?
Nearly All Fires in Rome Occur On
Wednesdays aod Thursdays.
AND BETWEEN 4 AND 8 O’CLOCK P. M
Are th* Fire Ruge at Work Mere? Uoquen
tioaable Evidence That Several Were
Os locrndlary Origin.
For several months past Rome has
been visited with many fires.
Fortunately few of them have proven
very serious, the last in the Masonic Tem
ple. the Van Dyke fire, the Morris store
and the one that ruined Stoffregen’s
bakery being the most damaging.
Within the last eight months fire has
broken out in the Masonic Temple some
six times. Circumstances in every in
stance pointed to incendiarism. Once or
twice there were convincing proofs of
suoh facts, but the miscreant covered his
footsteps well—too well for the vindica
tion of law and order.
There have been two very peculiar sea»
tures about the fires about town too. At
least two-thirds of them have occurred
between four and eight p, m., and nearly
all on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The
records will bear this fact out.
• The fires in the Masonic Temple were
not the only ones where there were evi
dences of the incendiary’s dreadful work,
The blazes in the cotton compress were
unquestionably so, as was the attempt to
destroy Mr. W. H. Coke.’s bam. The
fire in McGhee’s warehouse was evident
ly of that nature.
The question naturally arises as to who
are the enemies of the city? And why
are they attempting to destroy property?
Their efforts seem to be aimed at no
one in particular, but only the malicious
and depraved intention of destroying
property.
It is to be hoped that these evil char
acters will be run to earth, and have jus
tice meted out to them. They are a
menace not only to property but to hu
man lives.

HAS THE BOTTOM.BEEN BELCHED?
Cotton Continues Low. and tho Receipts Are
Still Very Light.
Has the price of cotton yet reached the
lowest mark and will there be a strong
reaction soon?
Those are questions that are not only
puzzling and worrying the producers but
the dealers also. In the face of adverse
reports from every section of the country
telling of a crop badly cut off, prices
to decline steadily.
It is selling here and elsewhere from
5 5 8 to 6 cents on the streets. Now
and then a bale brings more, but it is a
rare occurrence.
Usually at (.this period of the year
Broad street is literally jammed with
wagons fiom Third avenue down to the
bridge. There was a continuous stream
of wagons to the several warehouses
from early to late. Ancj while cotton is
coming in pretty lively now there can be
but little doubt that farmers are holding
the crop as much as possible.
A prominent broker yesterday, in an
swer to a query from a reporter said:
••I wish I knew myself whether there
was hope of a raise in the price of the
staple. But honestly I fear that there is
no immediate prospects at least, You
need not be surprised to see cotton go
even lower.”

It Was Found to Be the Cotton Factory Ware

narrow escape by fire this morning.

bales of cotton and several bales of
cloth and other valuables,
The warehouse and contents wt a
almost completely ruined but is par
