Tennessee cavalry during the late unpleasantness. Fcr many years be was a resident ofthe Flat woods district of Floyd county, moving from his home in the country to Rome. “lie is the father of nineteen children, the oldest being Judge George Harris of the Floyd city court, and his second son being Alderman Walter Harris, the able justice of the peace of the Rome district.” “Thirteen of Dr. Harris’chil dren were boys. Eleven of his Hock are living.” “Dr. Harris a native of the valley of Virginia and is a mem ber of one of the strongest polit cal families in several states.” “As a minister of the Method ist church he had the right to unite loving couples in the holy bonds and it is undisputed fact that Dr. Cramp Harris has mar ried more couples than any oth er half dozen authorized persons in this neck of the woods.” Dr. Harris was born June 1, 1831. 11 is first wife was Miss Sallie Norris, a daughter of Dr. Norris of Huntsville, Ala. Dr. Norris was at one lime Grand Master of the Masons of Ala bama. Dr. Harris was a member of Cherokee lodge of Rome. 10 this first union were born four children who survive him. They are Judge George A. 11., Judge Walter and Mr. Oscar M. Harris of Rome, and Mrs. S.illie Jackson, of Athmta. 11 is second wife, whosu.vives him, was Miss Jemie Briidlord, of Pine Log, Bartow county.

Harris, of Rome, all grown to manhood and Miss Ava aged 16, Master Miller, aged 14 and Ola, aged 12 years. THE FUNERAL. The funeral will not occur un til some time Wednesday and will be at Pleasant Valley ceme tery in the Flatwoods. The de lay is occasioned by tho desire of the children to have all mem bers of the family present and! as Mr. Will Harris lives in Tex as he can’t arrive in time for the ceremonies to occur on to morrow. More than 40 years ago Cramp Harris was licensed to preach, and though a practicing physi cian he has found time to min ister to the spiritual wellfare of mankind in thousands of ser mons. He organized the church of Shiloh in this county and, while a resident of Flatwoods district has ridden hoFsebnck to Trion factory scores of times to preach to his flock there. Os his old command in the Ist. Tennessee cavalry only three members remain, one is a Mr. Smith in Mississippi and the other two are Officer J. L. Col lier of the Rome police force and James McGuire, superintendent of the Rome water works. Generous hearted and warm and impulsive natured, Cramp Harris was loved best by those who knew him most intimately. The people to whom he minis tered, the poor and the needy afflicted are the ones who will miss him most for they needed him worst. A good citizen has passed out from life and a Chris tian spirited disciple has gone to his reward. Cramp Harris has finished his life work, but his good deeds will not soon fade from the mem ory of man. Peace to bis ashes. JROME GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 18. 1893. PROBABLY A FAKE, Story That Caused Excite ment in Washington POPE’S INTERFERENCE Said to Have Brought Peace to Cuba. Washington, April 18 Through one of the legations l here there comes a story of start ling import. This is that through the mediation of the pope the) insurgents have come to terms (with Spain and that war in Cu ba is at an end. This story de clares that Gomez has gone to I Madrid under assurances that he can carry back to his people the freedom for which they have been fighting. There is no means of verify ing this story, and it is general ly doubted in consecjuence. All our consulshave left Cuba, and iof what has occurred there du ring the past week we know nothing, except such informa tion as is vouchsafed by Span ish consors. Os course, if this is true —if Spain is herself ready to recog nize the independence of tin Cubans—no stronger indorse ment of the wisdom of recogni tion by this government conic possibly be had. The Goin -z rumor has created the greatest excitement here in i WaO.iin 'ton. The state depart ment officials declare they know ( nothing of such a state of affairs as indie ited by the -story, but it comes from a diplomatic source which usually h s important I information ahead of everybody else here. POPE SUGGESTS INDEPENDENCE. London, April 18 —The Rome correspondent of The Times, i says: “In Vatican circles the 'opinion is still held that an ont i break of war may yet bo pre vented, and a rumor is afloat to the effect that the pope is en deavoring to persuade Spain to recognize the independence of . Cuba.” ' TREAT WITH INSUR.4ENTS. Commissioners Leave Havana See Gomez. Havana, April 18.—This morning Pedro Rabell, colonial secretary of post and communi cations ; Dolz Giberga and Le opoldo Sila, a well known law yer, designated by the autono mist government as a parlia mentary commission to approach the insurgent government in Eastern Cuba, left by rail for Botano, from which point they will proceed by a < oast steamer to Santa Cruz del Sur, to ascer tain whether the insurgent gov ernment in the province of Puer to Principe will accept the ar mistice. If received the commission will indicate a neutral zone and propose conditions and a place of meeting Senors Juan Rami rez and Silvestra Ancalada, prominent autonomists and members of the central commit tee. have been appointed by the committee with the same end in view. They left this morning for Santa Cruz del Sur, where they will use their influence in the name of the autonomisi par ty, but independently of the par liamentary commission. There is great expectations as to the result, which, is anxiously awaited.
