WILL SUPPORT HILL.
President Cleveland Will Ct 11 Upon Els
Friends to Vote
AND GIVE THE NEW YORK SENATOR
Chairman Thatcher Says the President
Will Write a Letter in a Few
Days Favoring Hill.
new York, Oct. 17. —Chairman John
Boyd Thatcher is said to have received
authoritative information that. President
Cleveland, within a few days, would
call upon his friends not only to vote
for but give a cordial support to the
Democratic, state ticket. When Mr.
Thatcher was asked about tills he re
plied:
“I cannot make a statement as yet,
though Ido export that the president
will declare himself'very soon. I un
derstand that, he will be in town in a
few days, on his way to Washington.
If he passes here any time at all, 1 shall
do myself tire honor of calling upon
him. Although the president has not
publicly declared himself, I do not
doubt mat. he- favors the election of the
regular Democratic state ticket.
"1. e fact that all the prominent
CBevc.and men in the state are working
for ti e ticket is pretty good evidence as
to how the president feels. It has been
Mr. Cleveland’s policy to exhibit no ac
tivity in state politics while he occupies
the distinguished office he now holds.
I no not know that he will write a letter
indorsing Hill, but 1 would not be a bit
surprised if he did.”

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 17. —George
Bartlett, a i GO. a Marshall county
farmer, residing near Bristow’s cave,

Bartlett on t lie head, fractured his skull,
causing death.
A week ago Bartlett’s eldest son,
John, while returning home from At
talla, was shot and killed from ambush
and robbed of a large sum of money by
unknown parties. Two days later an
otli. c son, Alexander, became involved
in a difficulty with a negro farm labor

Last Saturday, Bartlett’s youngest son,
Tom, aged 15, was crossing the Tennes

ell E. Jackson, of the United States su

A TERHIBLE FIRE.
Two, and Per Imps, Four Persons Lost
Their Lives in the Houston Burning.
Houston, Oct. 17.—The fire reported
yesterday was one of the most disas
trous in the history of this city.
The fire was discovered in the San Ja
cinto boarding house, on Franklin and
Jacinto streets, and before the flames
were got under control two lives, and
probably four, were lost and $500,000
worth of property was destroyed. The
flames quickly spread to St. Joseph’s
Catholic infirmary, on Franklin avenue,
and the building was totally destroyed.
Two sisters of the institute, Jane and
Doriel, perished in the burning build
ing. Two patients lying in an upper
story of the dormitory are missing, and
it is feared they are burned to death.
Another sister, Clothilde, had a narrow
escape. She was frightfully burned
about the head and shoulders, but it is
believed she will recover.
From St. Joseph’s infirmary the fire
spread to Alexander’s boardinghouse,
then to the adjoining stores. The flames
lasted from 2:45 o’clock, a. m., until
4:30 o’clock p. m., and in that time de
stroyed a dozen buildings. As near as
can be obtained at present, the follow
ing is a list of the losses:
St. Joseph’s infirmary, $60,000; San
Jacinto house, $5,000; F. Alexander
furniture, $25,000; L. M. Rich, build
ing, $12,000; N. W. Shaw, building,
$15,000; J. Rushmore, grocery, $15,000;
J. W. Hancock, stationery store, $20,-
000; A. Chimel & Co., furniture, $70,-
000; W. L. Foley, drygoods, $165,000; J.
W. Jones, building, $20,000. Other
small losses will bring the aggregate up
to a half million dollars. This is par
tially covered by insurance, but the ex
act amount cannot be learhed.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
be due to an explosion of an oil lamp.
DEBS ON WRECKERS.
He Has No Sympathy for, Nor Patience
with, These Worse Than Murderers.
Terre Haute, Oct. 17.—After Presi
dent Debs had carefully read the report
of the arrest of the Battle Creek train
wreckers, he said:
“You cannot quote me too strong as
denouncing all such acts of violence.
If these men are guilty they ought to
be punished to the full extent of the
law. I do not say they are or not
guilty, but if the prosecution have the
evidence this report says they have then
these men have been guilty of a fiendish
crime. 1 cannot comprehend how men
can commit mc’i a deed.
“It is wors t than coldblooded murder.
It mak' s no <l!tl ?rencj whether or not
the ■■■cne .I ■,•-•11 :nn 1 >,.rj t-1...
American nauway union. The Ameri
can Railway union does not shield
crime. If any of our men are guilty of
crime, they must suffer for it. Ido not
recognize the names of the men as any
I know. I may know the men, but I
do not place them by their names. I re
member the Battle Creek wreck, but I
do not now recall that it was even hint
ed then that strikers caused it.”
AFTER MR. MORTON.
Secretary Carlisle Ilan issued Instructions
!or His Prosecution.
Washington, Oct. 17.—Secretary Car
lisle lius instructed the United States
district attorney for the southern dis
trict of New York to bring proceedings
against ex-Vice President Levi P. Mor
ton for violating the alien contract labor
law. It is altogether probable that, the
case will not be reached for some time,
as proceedings against Manager* Augus
tin Daly for importing a scene shifter
are still pending.
Disbelieved at the treasury depart
ment that tiie habeas corpus proceed
ings begun to secure Coachman How
ard’s release will result, as all other
similar appeals, in the refusal of the
United States court to overrule the de
cision of the secretary of the treasury.

liament to b ■ held in connection with
the Atlanta exposition, Oct. 16, 17 and

THE DRIFT IT TAKES.
Temperance Women Moving: for Woman’s
Suffrage—The Sb nth a Mission.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—During the
session of the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance union convention here Miss
Frances Willard paid attribute to Susan
B. Anthony, and then said she would
stake anything that Dr. Parkhurst
would ultimately come out in favor of
woman’s suffrage. She spoke also of
efforts of women to secure the defeat, of
Colonel W. C. P. Breckinride, and said
that if she spoke of that to Dr. Park
hurst he might say the women could
not vote and that their votes did not
defeat Breckinridge. Her reply would
be that had the women had the vote the
Ashland district would have given an
overwhelming majority against Breck
inridge.
Miss Willard concluded by making
an appeal for funds with which to send
women to the South for the purpose of
organizing the colored women.
FATTENED ON MILK.
Mr. Nelson of Topeka Has Lived on It
Alone Nineteen Months.
Topeka, Oct. 15.—A prominent To
peka merchant, Charles M. Nelson, has
subsisted entirely on milk for the past
19 months, and says he expects to live
on milk exclusively during the rest of
his life. He has become perfectly
reconciled to his diet and has no appe
tite for even the most tempting delica
cies. He drinks on an average eight
quarts of milk a day, at the customary
meal times, and is never hungry.
Mr. Nelson was troubled for a long
time with an ailment similar to dia
betes. It became impossible for him to
eat any solid foods, even the most nu
tritious and easily digested. It became,
a case of milk or starve, and Mr. Nel
son preferred milk. At the time he
commenced the milk cure he weighed
138 pounds, but now ighs 180 pounds,
and has weighed as high as JOO.
Two Killed in a Freight Wreck.
Baltimore, Oct. 15.—J. H. Hosse

murtha, a telegraph operator of Mid
dleswarth, Pa., were killed at Gaithers,
Md. A freight train separated while on
a grade, and the two sections crashed
together, piling up several cars. The
men were caught under the wreckage
and crushed to death.
THE ROME TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1894.
A BOOM IN BUSINESS.
The Bank Returns Furnish an Answer
to the Calamity Wallers.
NET.YORK AND BOSTON IN THE LEAD
The Decrease in Loans and Discounts Ke
ported is Especially Signifi
cant at this Time.
Washington, Oct. 17.—The reports
from the banks in the reserve cities cn
the last call of the comptroller of the
currency have about all been received,
and tiiu showing indicates an encourag
ing revival of business. The increase in
the loans and discounts which is report
ed in ail tiie large cities is especially sig
nificant. The loan and discount feature
of the bank returnsis accepted generally
as a safe index of the condition of the
-country.
The returns made by the New York
banks are more significant than those
from any of the other large cities in the
east or west. Ou the last bank call in
July, the New York institutions report
ed loans and discounts to the amount of
$344,417,428. Since then the amount
has been increased to $360,300,459.
This is an increase in loans for the
three months of $16,000,000. The indi
vidual deposit accounts of the banks
also show an increase for the same peri
od of upward of $26,000,000. In July
the New York banks held in gold coin
$22,095,981. and they now report. $25,-
251,151. The holdings of gold treasury
certifiicates have since July increased
from $27,199,690 to $50,6-12,160. With
all this favorable showing, the percent
age of reserve has been reduced only 4
per cent, and is still 8 per cent above the
reserve limit.
Next to New York, the most favorable
returns are from Boston, where the
loans and discounts have increased more
than $4,000,000. The Boston banks have
also added to their holdings in gold
coin.
Philadelphia banks in the same period
increased their loans and discounts from
$94,557,371 to $98,783,415.
The Chicago banks report an increase
of loans from $88,928,847 to $91,486,568,
but they lost $1,500,000 in gold coin.
St. Louis records an increase in loans
of $2,500,000, but in doing this the
banks have fallen below the reserve
limit by a small fraction. St. Louis is
the only city that is below the reserve.
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Detroit and
Baltimore all show an increase in loans;
but Brooklyn reports a small contrac
tion. This is the only city from which
the reports have been received that has
decreased its loans and discounts. At
the same time Brooklyn has made no
gains in its gold lioldings.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels
says the reports show an undoubted
business boom, and that banks share
the general confidence in the return of
increased prosperity.
“These returns,” said he, “will, I
am sure, furnish an answer to the ca
lamity wailing of the campaign speak
ers. ’ ’
CLINGS TO THE- CROOK.
A Blind Woman’* Fl til ill Plea for Protec*
tlon from Her Husb ind.
Chicago, Oct. 17.—Secret service offi
cials who had arrested a man calling
himself John Robinson, discovered that
their prisoner is John Spayne, a notori
ous counterfeiter, who has been a fugi
tive for three years.
A woman with a beautiful face, but
totally blind, appeared at the examina
tion and announced herself as Spayne’s
wife. Then James Morton, a well to do
merchant who had been called as a wit
ness, rushed forward and declared that
she was his wife, who had disappeared
two years before.
Recognizing Morton’s voice, the blind
woman piteously bogged the officers to
protect her from him. She acknowl
edged that she was Mrs. Morton, but
said that her husband had treated her
cruelly and she feared him.
Despite Morton’s entreaties the wo
man refused to go with him, declaring
that Spayne had treated her kindly and
that even though he was a criminal she
would remain with him. She told a
pitiful story of ill treatment, and was
allowed to leave the courtroom with the
guide who had accompanied her.
Spayne,who appeared to be deeply af
fected by the scene, was sent to jail to
await trial.
AMERICA’S CUP.
A New Full Sized Cutter Will Be in the
N**xt Contest.
New York, Oct. 15. —A cablegram
from London to The Herald says: It
can be stated on the best authority that
Mr. G. L. Watson, the well known
yacht designer, met Lord Dunraven
last werk at Dunedin castle, aid it was
there practically decided that the new
challenger for the America cup, which
Lord Dunraven, Lord Lonsdale and Mr.
McCalmont are to build, shall be a full
sized cutter.
This decision was arrived at in view
of the difficulty that would arise in se
curing an adequate and reliable trial of
a 70 footer on this side of the Atlantic.
On the other hand, there will be the
Britannia and a new Walker 90-footer
to try a large cutter with.
No challenge has as yet been drawn
up for dispatch to New York, but, in
all probability, the conditions which
governed last year’s race will be asked
for.

Memphis, Oct, 15.—Miss Celia Schus

His Cnureli Fun'shes Him for His Con.
fessed Mideeds.
Paris, Ky., Oct. 15. —Colonel W. C.
P. Breckinridge has been suspended
from communion by Mount Horeb
church, in Fayette county. Breckin
ridge had made a confession of his guilt
and asked the prayers and love of his
brethren in leading a Christian life.
The unanimous decision of the officers
was that while accepting his repentance
as sincere and heartfelt, the great pub
licity of the sin demanded some public
action, so he was suspended from the
sacraments until February 1, 1895.
A Preacher in the Toils.
Moline, 111., Oct, 15.—Colonel W. E.
Stevens has been sentenced to one year

sedeas. The case has attracted much
attention owing to the high social stand
ing of the aged criminal, who was for
merly a preacher.
