FROST VISITS ROME
Many Early Risers Sai It in Low-Lands
Yesterday Morning.
HEAVY FROST EXPECTED TODAY
No Alarm Need Be Felt About the
Presence of Some Selma People.
Many Have Deft the City.
The first frost of the season made its
appearance in Rome yesterday morning.
Early risers in various places in the
suburbs report that they saw frost. The
thermometerAn all parts of the city
touched 47 which is the frost point.
Last night it was much cooler, and a
heavy frost is expected this morning.
No yellow fever microbes can exist in
the chilly atmosphere of Rome and the
North Georgia mountains and no one
should be in the least alarmed about the
Selma people who remain here, many of
them having left yesterday.
Frost in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Oct. 25.—Jack FroSt made
his initial appearance of this season this
morning and was seen by a number of
persons.
Mr. Marbury, of the weather bureau,
says that he certainly came, and so re
ported to Washington.
Down to 47 Degrees.
The lowest temperature during the
night was 47. This is about the normal
for frost, and the weather people were on
the lookout for it when they saw the
mercury gently slipping down the tube.
Wag the Genuine Thing.
“Yes,” said Mr. Marbury, “it was a
sure enough frost, no sun on the dew,
but it was the genuine thing, and though
it was light, it has been very general
throughout the country.
SELMA PEOPLE HERE.
Sunday One Hundred and Fifty Came.
Hotel and Boa.ding Houses Crowded.
The Southern train from Selma Sun
day afternoon brought ten coach loads of
refugees to Rome.
Possibly 150 of them stopped here.
Os the others a goodly number went to
Atlanta and many to Nashville, Knox •

Quite a large party stopped off at Cave

THE ROME TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1897.
pulled into East Rome, and great crowds
of citizens were present to see the refu
gees.
Those who stopped over here made a
rush for the Armstrong and Central
hotels, and in a few minutes after the ar
rival of the train the corriders were
crowded with people.
The demand at the Armstrong for
rooms was unprecedented, and Mr. Mc-
Call performed, the remarkable feat of
placing 71 people in 37 rooms. The
Central’s rooming capacity is not nearly
so great, and every vacant room was
taken in-a very short while.
As soon as the resources of the hotels
were exhausted, people began searching
for boarding houses. They were given
accommodations at some of them, but
others refused admittance to the refugees.
Some few, possibly, experienced difficulty
in securing lodging, but all were finally
housed.
Possibly half of those who stopped
here Sunday went on to Nashville and
other places yesterday.
The regular train from Selma yesterday
afternoon brought between 50 and 75
more people from that city. The hotels
had made extra preparations to handle
the new arrivals, and managed to put
them away.
Twice as many people went on through
to Atlanta and points north. It is not
likely that many more will come as the
town is about depopulated.
COUNCIL MEETING SUNDAY.
Held Session Sunday Morning, But De
cided Against Quarantining.
The Tiibune Sunday morning told of
the yellow fever in Selma, and the prob
ability of many refugees coming to Rome
from that city.
A special meeting of the council was at
once called, to discuss the advisability of
quarantining.
Mr. J. D. Turner was the only council*
man who favored quarantine. Several
citizens were present who favored the
idea, but after a short discussion they
adjourned without taking any action.
HUNDREDS GO TO OTHER PLACES.
Selma People Flock to Atlanta, Nashville
Etc—Not Many Whites Left.
Not one tenth of the refugees from
Selma have stopped in Rome. A good
proportion of those who came through
Rome went on to Atlanta.
At three o’clock yesterday morning a
special from Selma arrived in the Gate
City with several hundred people. The
largest part of those passing through
here went to Nashville and points
north.
The Southern railway sold about sll,*
000 worth of tickets in Selma Sunday,
and probably $5,000 yesterday. Al
most the entire population has left the
city.
There will be no jobs allowed in
the races at exposition park, all will
be on the square.
