It is presumed another election
will be ordered at once, and it is
hoped that the law abidii g people
will see to it this time, that a to
h r, reliable) and responsible man
is elected to fill this important of
fice. They have the conso'ation
of knowing, at least, that they aai
not do worse than they did befon
—if there is any consolation iu it
The people of Rome are not
unacquainted with the character
of Sheriff Bryan, of Chattoga
Ou more than one occasion ho ha*
been arrested for drunkness while
in this city.
His action, iu the recent outra
ges in bis county, when Mr. Adams
was killed by three wondering ne
groes, is believed to have had
much to do with the feeling which
pr mpted good men to take two
of the negroes from jail and 1 nc
them.
It is claimed that good citizens
feared that thi drunken officials
wSuld allow the negroes a chance
to escape and they therefore tool,
the matter in their own hands.
A gentleman from Chattooga
said today, that when Sheriff Bry
an’s last escapade was reported
to Judge Henry that Official look
ed up the drunken sheriff and Jail
or who were being supported by
the murderer prisoneis and ‘“just
ripped him up the bask.”
The citizens of Summerville are
highly indignant and many of
them hope the sheriffs resignation
will not be accepted—thinking
that common decency demands
that he publicly impeached.
Editor Cain's scathing remarks,
as published in the News, are re .
gar Jed as none too strong, and his
courageous denouncment has hit
the popular chord.
RETRUN.
With the new receiver ship of the
C. R,&C, road Rome has already
been benefited, in as much as the
establishment of head quarters
in this city has brought back to
the city Messrs Will nd Frink
Darby, two of our old boys, and
two of the cleverest young railroad
men in *he state.
Both young men have aban
donedlucrative posifwus iu Atlan
ta, to accept better oties on the C .
R. &C. and also that they may
again make Rome their future
home.
Mrs Will Darby, remembered
as Miss Pattie Warren, is one of
the most beautiful women in the
South and like her popular hus
band, has a host of friends who
will welcome her back to the Hill
City.
Much interest is being manifested
in the coming concert, which is to be
given on Friday night, in the College
Chapel of grand old Shorter. A most
delightful program has been arrang
ed and those who accept the cordial
invitation and attend will certainly
enjoy the evening.

BRUISES OVER THE HEART.
aid t® have been found on hi* body
after his death. May beau ciiuod
by a “slirg «hat.”
A brief letter has bee n received
by the sisters of Mr. \V alter Mitch
ell who’s untimely dea h occur .1
iu New Orleans this week, and.
around which a cloud of mystery
hangs.
The letter does not state wheth
er his money had been taken from
his person or not. but says that he
walked into his ho'id, the Victoria,
uid said that he was deathly aick
and requested to be sent to a hos
p tai,
A short time after his arrival at
he hospital he breathed his last.
Whether he threw any light on
he cause of his death is n t
mown.
However, the letter states that
two large blue spots were found
>n his body just over his heart,
immediately after his death.
Mrs. Mitchell, the s.ep mother
if the unfortunate young man, is
■xpected to arrive iu the city t -
morrow afternoon,
A Hustler of Rome renorteT 1
isked the opinion of a Roma f hy
•ician this forenoon as to the prob
able cause of death, t.king the
bluespots over the heart into cou-
Gderaf ion.
He said the blue s; o‘s would
never have cccured nad death re
sulted from heart failure alone and
he was inclined to the theory,
uivi uced by tbe Hustler of Rgmk
and adopted by the Rome Tribune
viz: that death resulted from a
blow from a ‘‘slung shot“
Said he, “a blow deli vered, from
a nurderous weapon of that sort,
over the heart could produce un
c meciousness from which the vic
una might rally for a little whi'e
> die a most painful death a little
W le afterwards,“
The mystery of the death’ if
aueiiig much discussion in the
city and public opinion is dt cideck
iy inclined to a verdict of foul
play.
Mrs. Turrentine, the dead man‘s
widowed sister, returned to her
home in Gadsden today- Miss Lil
lie, another of his sister is deeply
grieved his untimely end,
Mitchel], his brother
is also very much dLtr.st.ed over
the tragic occurrence. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of the
■ ntire community in this hour of
bereavement.
