HE HUSTLER OF ROME. ROME GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING JULY. 22 1894. M tell o ii™ - 4“ .t 4“ fIGENUINE RATTAN ROCKER * w 0 ram water Rome Will Probably cut oil* h< r new System AND RETURN TO THE WELL FOB THE PRESENT. IT WILL COST ABOUT $24,000 FOR FILTERS, AND WITHOUT THEM THE RIVER WATER IS MOST UK- SATtst-ACTOitif Pure watei! Ye mud chewers, think of that! Well the prospects are now fav - able for Romans to once again Le served with a full supply of clear well water. Aiderman T. J* McCaffrey, chair man of the Water Works Committee, has just returned from Atlanta where, it is said, he has been making a close inspection of Atlanta’s great water works system and especially the flit ering process used by the Gate City in purifying her river water so that it may be made clear enough for use. Chairman McCaffrey will submit bis quarterly r eport along with Su perintendent McGuire’s report, tc City Council on Monday night, an t the same documents will doubtless contain Jsome interest iig reading matter Oue thing the Hustler of Rome ‘‘got onto” is tbe fact that filters will cost the city nearly $4,000 pack and it will require about six of them to do the work on the new system. Os course th city can’t afford to purchase these filters just now. Times are too hard and the people can’t stand any heavier taxation —until later. U„ the other hand the people of Rome are not a race of dirt eaters and they just simply can’t drink the liquid that is being served from rhe Oostanaula —many of them will dig wells first. Mr. McCaffrey and Superin tendant McGuire propose to make an examination of the old wells tomorrow, or the earlier part of the week. They think that the last ar tesian fre 11 be - ed—the one that rapped the muddy waters of h« Etowah, can be plugged up and th is nxid shift out from the pun crystal- liquid of the old wells, the limpid out put of which made Rome famous lor the purity of her water tor many years. If this can lie done, then the big reservoir on Fort Jackson can lie kept full and cut off, and only tapjx'd in case of fire, while the people will have the good old pure, clear, cool well water of the past, servetl to them once more. The pumps and machinery of the old Water Works station are intact and ready for use, ami the day t hey begin pumping clear wa ter for Romans will be a big day forthe —women and children and especially the Door of our city. If the mud well can be plugged —acid pure water served, while the city is kept safe and secure from lire, because of the millions of gallons of Oostanaula that needs but to be awakened from their slumber on the mountain to rush dewn iu mud torrents on the fire fiend, then tins is the practical temporary solution of the city s water problem —and oar only source of immediate relife. If this solution can be attained bv any oue, then Superintendent McGuire and Chairman McCaf frey are the men to do the work — They are practical, they are co «- servative, they are level headed, they are so safe that their judge ment may be relied upon —and if they deliver us from mud Rome water drinkers will rise up and call ’em blessed. A TEMPERANCE SERMON. Rev. G. W. Duval, pastor of the Second Methodist church, will preach a temperance sermon from his pulpit Sunday night, in which he will handle the question of prohibition and the evils of the saloon. The friends of rhe cause through out Rome and the vicinity are in vited to oe present. A GUARNTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE IO CENTS AWpEK I DISASTROUS IM. $500,000 of Property in Birn jhgham goes up in Smoke CALDWELL HOTEL BURNS Together Wlih Several Other Build Ings one of the Worst Fires That \ ( ever Occurred in the History ot the City. Birmingham, Ala., July 22.—A $500,000 blaze visited this city this inoring. The Caldwell Hotel the pride of the city and one of the handsomest structures of its kind in the soutn. is in ashes, as is also the mammoth Jour story structure on the opposite corner occupied by the Stower Furniture Company. A few minutes after 1 o’clock an alarm of tire was.turned.in from box 22, corner of Twenty firsr street and First avenue, and in an incredibly short time the fire department was on band. The water pressure was very uusatisfactroy aud when tbe firewas located iu the Stowers Furniture Company’s building, it was evi lent that a great blaze was on. As soon as possible the apparatus was got ready for the fight, which pro ved one of the most stubborn ever witnessed in this city. It was but a few minutes ere the •mt ire four floors with their im mense piles of furniture were a seething, roaring mass of flames leaping skyward. > ..The flames next entered the mammoth house of the Perry Mason Shoes Company and in a short while this, too, was wrapped in flames. The heat was intense, but the fire laddies -worked brave ly, for smoke was issuing-from the casing of the Caldwell hotel just across the way, and it was thought this structure would also follow Before the was express ed, the immense, .gilfled dome, which crowuofl the handsome edi fice, was seen to be in flames. Soon the entire west side of the structure, facing the now almost burned building across the way, was aflame wherever the demon could secure a hold. From here the flames swept inward and soon tbe Caldwell was doomed. Louder and louder roared tbe flames and fiercer and fiercer grew the heat until it was almost unbearable. The fight was a tierce one and the fire men redoubled their efforts. '"Twas in vain. Nothing could stem the fiery element and when the Caldwell was given up for lost, attention was directed to other directions to fight for property’ now apparently doomed. A bagnio occupied by Clara Spaulding was also destroyed with contents. The Casino building around op Second avenue and Twenty-second street was also in flames for awhile, but was soon extinguished. The losses are: Stowers Furniture Company. §30.000; building $20,0C0, Perry M won Shoe Company, §4O 000; building §20,000. Caldwell Hotel and furnishings §300,000.
