SELMA PEOPLE SCARED.
* ■
Seven Cases Occasion Exodus From City
—Reported That Special is Coining
The people of Selma are veiy
badly frightened over the seven cases
of yellow fever there.
About seventy came up over the South
ern from there yesterday. Probably a
dozen stopped here. The others trans
ferred to the Georgia division of the
Southern, and continued on to Nashville,
Knoxville, Washington and various other
points north.
A rumor was freely circulated over the
city yesterday asternoon and last night
that a special left at 1 o’clock p. m.,
with 200 or 300 refugees for this city.
The railroad authorities vigorously
denied that any special had left Selma
bound for Rome. At a late hour it had
not arrived here, but more refugees are
expected to arrive today, even should the
story of an extra be untrue.
Several members of the council heard
the rumors about tbe train, and called on
Mayor King. They favored holding a
meeting at once to act upon quarantin
ing, but it was decided not to do so.
Midnight Reports.
A dispatch from Se’.ma at midnight
says that seven cases of yellow fever have
developed there, and that many people
will leave in the morning foT Rome.
It is probable that the city council will
take some action this morning;

Water Wheel of the Trion Factory Re
tarded By Hundreds of Thein.
Mr. T. E. Cawthorne, who represents
Clark’s Mile End Thread throughout
this section, and is withal as clever a
traveler as one will meet, told a Tribune
man a very interesting story yesterday.
Mr. Cawthorne has just returned from
a business trip to Trion, and while there
called at the big cotton factory. The
superintendent of the mill had been com
plaining several days of the slow way in
the water wheel was running.
It was seriously interfering with
progress in the factory, and everybody
was at a loss to account for it.
So last Friday they decided to make a
thorough inveeigation. The great
wheel was lifted up, and in the boxwoik
a mass of wiggling, squirming eels were
found.
Sixty eight of them were captured,
while twice that many succeeded in get
ting away. Those caught were weighed
in a lump and tipped the acales at 172
pounds.
This is the biggest single catch of eels
ever made in this section.
