TUESDAY DECEMBER 28. 1897 ORDERLY CHRISTMAS Rome Bai Fever Arrests Thau Any V Hie Large Georgia Cities, VERY MODERATE lhE OF FIREWORKS City Settled Down To I'* Normal Quiet Yesterday--Arreata Friday sad Sat urday Were Only 37 In All. Rome has quieted down to its nor mal condition after the rush and burry and noise of Christmas. Yesterday was a pretty day com pared with tbe conditions Saturday, and a great, many people were on the streets. The merchants had time to straighten up their stock and clean up after the big rush of last week. One feature of the present Christ mas is tbe very moderate use of fire works. Usually upper Broad street is as|dangerous as a Cbilkoot pass, only one is likely to be burned to death in stead of frozen. It is so for about two or three days before and after Christmas day, but Saturday the roar of cannon crack ers, tbe swish of skyrockets and the zip of Roman candles, was only like the skirmish line of a battle, not tbe real engagement, as of yore. Yester day not half a dozen fire crackers were exploded on Broad street, and very few last night. The arrests were very light cn Christmas day—only 15, while At lanta had 305, Macon 24 and Savan nah 93. This was due to tbe fact that the sa -loons were all closed tight, and the unfortunates who deem it the right thing to get drunk on Christmas were unable to secure the liquor. There were 22 arrests Friday and 15 Saturday, a total of 37 for tbe holi days. AU of these were simply drunk and disorderly, as the police were in struced to be lenient. All of those arrested were released Saturday night. Altogether it has been a very quiet and orderly Christmas in Rome. To Cure A Cold In One Day Tike Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
