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 • ville and various other points north Quite a large party stopped off at Cave Spring. It was almost dusk when the long train The Armstrong, ROME, GA, Centrally Located and first class in all appointments, Rooms en suite, single rooms and rooms with bath.

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. Sale of Horses.
