run Over a Woman and
WAS FINED SIO.OO OR 20 DAYS.
A Chester buy From Philadelphia
'■'igures in tbe Fall of Ninevah.
‘ viiareyard” was Drunk and was
Fined or 3 days.
There were only two eases tried i n
the ‘ Fall of Ninevah” this forenoon
but they were not cases of every da)
occurrance.
The first one was a young fellow
name 1 Joe Scanlan, charged with
lighting and disorderly conduct.
Scanlan savs he is a Chester, Penn,
man. and that his home is in Phila
delphia. Yesterday he made his
appearance in Rome, his only com
panion being his “fiddle and bow.”
He beaded for the Opera House
bar and spent the forenoon in dis
coursiiig sweet music, kuseing
“Southern fiddlers,” tanking up
and finally criticizing Dixie.
This put him undef the ban and
when, after being made pay for a
be r that he had swigged and
tried to beat—he cursed Frank
Duke, the temporary bar tender
and got knocked down and kicked
out.
He landed on the streets with a
black eye and was piloted to Trev
itt’s Drug store by Bud Quarles.
He had no money but Dr. Trevitt
proceeded io bathe his swolen face
with arnica, While the arnica was
being rubed on Scanlan made
some slightieg remarks about the
man who had hit him and Mr
Quarles knocked him down, and
as Scanlan rose Quarles knocked
him. down again.
The next time the strolling mu*
sician rose he “got up a running’’
and darting out of the drug store,
turned into the old “Rash Shoe
St re’’ building, now occupied by
Mrs, Vick as a boarding house and
restaurant. Quarles was in full
chase and the flying fiddler in his
mad flight ran over Mrs. Vick,
scaled the back fence and headed
for Lavender’s mountain.
He was finally run down and run
in by Officers Sharp and Moore.
To them he said he had “done
nothing” but had “run because he
knew he could not get justice in
the south,”
He was fined $lO or 20 days by
Recorder Spwllock.
Scanlan looks to he about 23, is
stocky, and fat faced and as he sat
uti the “mourners bench” in the
Fall of Nineveh’’ this morning,
with a bandage around his fore
head, and tears in his blue
“black’-eyes, one’s thoughts natu
rally turned towards hig Quaker
City home and —we wonder what
the old mother would think could
she’see her bonny fiddler son play
ing this star engagement through
the South.
He took his sentence with bow
ed head and in silence —after a
pause he raised his disfigured face
to the Recorder and with a wistful
look and a pleading voice asked if
he might have his violin in the
ce 1 with him. The request was
granted and the strolling minstrel
and his wandering fiddle were led
back to the “Catecombs of Rome.”
Scan, Scanlus, Scanlan.
And again the curtain was roll
ed up and behold from the galler
ies of those same mystic “Cate
combs of Rome” there strode into
the presence of the Just Recording
angel a venable ethiope by the
name of Peter Mathis,alias “Grave
Yard.”
The evidence showed that
“Grave Yard ’ must have been en
joying a ghost dance and had been
overcome with the “spirits.”
He was fined $4 or 8 days. He.
said he liked the ate day pait of it
as ate was the past tense of eat and
a reminiscent mood was better

THE HUSTLER S WIDE AWAKE COR
RESPONDENT A HUSTLING.
Cave Spring. June 28, 1894.
Vacation, the sweetest, time du
ring the year to a school-boy, is
here with I’s pleasures, charms
and fascinations; and how our
nearts beat for joy when we know
that there is nu Latin, Algebra,
Geometry or Trigonometry to
master for the next day’s recita
tion. Still there is a feeling exist
ing that is hard to shake oil, and
that is sad indeed to think per
haps that many of your school boy
chums will not return in the fall
to indulge in your experiences,
bitter or sweet as they may be.
The closing exercise of the fa
mous old Hearn Institute passed
oft’ pleasantly, much to the satis
faction of the teachers and enjoy
ment ot patrons and visitors,
Thursday evening 21 inst, from
8 to 10:30 o’clock the little boys
and girls entertained the audience
m their usual happy style.
Ou Friday morning the young
men spoke in the Prize Declama
tion contest from 9:30 to 11.30
o’clock, and your correspondent
will add that it would do credit to
any “Sophmore declamation con
test” of any co'lege in Georgia
and that Prof’s Knig and Pullen
are to be congratulated on the "ay
in which their previous training
displayed itself in the speaking,
done by their senior boys.
Then came Friday evening, the
young ladies timo of all times to
create a profound impression on
her lover, or to captivate some
visitor by her charming recita
tion. piano recitals etc. And in
deed she held her place admirably
and advertised their instructress
es far and near as being thorough
ly competent for their undertak
ings.
They were thoroughly drilled iu
the science of education by Miss
Ford, a young lady of real talents,
aid equally as well in music by
Miss Fannie Culbertson, who is
given up to be one of the finest
music teachers in the State.
Thus passeed the closing exer
cises of Cave Spring s flourshing
school and we predict a much
larger attendance from abroad in
the fall.
Messers. Ben Watts and M.
Rosenfield, two hustling traveling,
salesmen, and well known in tnese
parts have been iu town for a day
or two.
Mr. Will E. Park is visiting bis
parents, Ci p . and Mrs. J, T. Park,
of this place, for a week. ‘‘Will”
is representing the firm of Warren,
Neely & Co, of Nashville T<nn.
and is at home when talking to a
merchant.
There were quite a number of
Romans down to attend the dance

Out of the senior class of 13 of
Hearn school 9 ar? teaching school
this summer and several more are
expecting to get Professorships

Boat riding is being indulged
in very freely down here now, as
there are quite a number of well
equipped boats and the young folks
delight in the exercise exceeding

success, though Floyd did go for
Evans. Wishing the Hustler
much success I am yours,

fall move her family to Mont
