The electric cars began making regu

yesterday afternoon, and Superintend
ent Marvin, motermen and conductors
and the public are once more happy.
Rome has had the unusual'experience
of being without electric oar transpor
tation for four days. Last Saturday
morning abont 11 o’clock the big engine
that supplies motive power to the elec
trie care, dynamos went wrong. It was
11:30 when all the cars were carried in
to the barn.
Superintendent Marvin hoped to have
things ship shape Sunday, but was dis
appointed. Finally when the new foun
dation for the engine was completed
the heavy mass was lowered before the
current had dried, and the foundation
was mashed down.
When the work was finally completed
again Mr. Marvin waited about 36
hours for the foundation to settle firmly
before lowering the engine.

A Negro Named Will Lovelace Shot
Through The Neck Last Night.
Will Lovelace, a negro from New

was shot through the neck in Mary
Driver’s restaurant, just above the
Broad street fire house, last night at 8
o’clock.
Lovelace went into the restaurant
and was talking to a negro woman,
wben another negro came in. Love
lace, and all the parties in the place
at the time, claim that the man was a
stranger.
The unknown negro began abusing
Lovelace for talking to the woman,
and Lovelace turned to walk away.
As he did so a pistol shot was heard
and a bullet cut its way around the
fleshy part of Lovelace’s neck.
Officers Sharp, Cooper and Mulkey
went to the scene. 'Cbe. negro who
did the shooting bad escaped.
Lovelace was carried to the lockup,
and Dr. Hamilton dressed his wound.
He is painfully but not seriously in
jured. Had the ballet struck a frac

resulted in instant death to Lovelace.

Chief Shropshire Does i Bit of Cl«wr
Detective Wort
S3OO WORTH OF STOLEN SPARKLERS
They Belonged to Mrs. (Shelton Sling, of
Mobile, and Were Taken From Bath
Room in the Armstrong.
— -
Chief of Police J. B. Shropshire has
just succeeded in doing a neat bit of de
tective work, and thereby recovering
S3OO worth of diamonds and securing a
reward of SSO for his cleverness.
Among those who fled to Rome from
the fever scare were Mr. and Mrs. Shel
ton Sims and Mrs. Foster, of Mobile.
They were at the Armstrong during tbe
major part of October.
Mr, Sims is ,one of Mobile’s leading
attorneys, and is said to be quite well off.
Mrs. Sims had several valuable diamonds
which she wore usually in a small chamois
skiu bag around her neck.
On October 25 Mrs. Sims removed the
bag containing the diamonds while in
the bath room. When she left the room
she forgot the diamonds, and upon re
turning later to secure them found the
bag missing.
Chief Shropshire was called in, and
after a conference with Mr. and Mrs.
Sims, the officer assured them that he
could secure the stones, provided noth
ing was said about the matter until he
could thoroughly investigated. Mr. Sims
promised Mr. Shropshire SSO if he would
flud the diamonds.
Mr. and Mrs. Mims went to Atlanta a
few days afterwards. Chief at once be
gan work very quietly and Tuesday was
rewarded by recovering all the dia
monds.
Mr. Shropshire would not divulge
where or how he secured the stones,
farther than that they were in the pos
session of a negro woman when found.
Mr. Sims had agreed not to prosecute
the thief provided all the diamonds were
delivered to him, For this reason the
chief refused to give particulars.
He at once notified Mr. Sims of his
success, and yesterday received a tele
gram saying to express the diamonds to
Atlanta, C. O. D. SSO, subject to in
spection. The stones were sent.
Go to Todd’s store Friday
and Saturday sure.
