OATS WINS.
Alabama goes Democratic by 25-

THE ONE ARMED HERO.
Sweeps the State and Rolls up
A Magnificent Majority.
The Legislature is also
on joint
Ballot.
t ______________________
Montgomery,Ale,,Aug 7. —(Spe-
the one Confeder
ate veteran and dashing democrat
hue swept the good old state of Ala
bnma from the Tennessee to the
Gulf, and organized Democracy
has snowed Koibism, Populistisni
Jeffersouiaoism and every other
ism under an avaianch of from 25,
000 to 40.000 majority.
The eutire returns will not be mad.-
for a day or two yet but enough has
been received from over the state to
guarantee the election of the entire
Oats ticket by not less than 25 000
majority
The magnificence of this victory
n ay be imagined when it is remem
bered that Governor Jones defeated
Kolb in 1802 with a vote of only 11-\
500 majority.
Returns from enough counties
have been receive Ito guarantee the
legislature and senate easily safe in
working majorities. Wright.
This morning s Constitution in
troduced its Alabama returns as fol-
ows:
Montgomery, Ala., August 6—The
democratic state ticket Has been elect
ed by a mtjor ty largely in excess of
she 1892 election vuless the returns
nre misleading. Notbiuo like an offi
ciil report -of tue result in the state
an.be given tonight. Probat Jy not
u ltd day after tomorrow will such
counties as Marshall and Pike where'
the race is very close, and Coffee and
Marion, where the railroads and tel
egraph stations are far away, return
t&eir correct vote
But at midnight tonight the demo
crats are absolutely confident of a
glorious victory fior their ticket and a
safe majority for the legislature.
While it is tree that only the town
beats and those near telegraph offices
have been heard ,from tonight and
while >it is graCtad that the reports
from tke backwoods districts willper
bape shorten the gap L is net re
garded as oven a possibility that
Koll -can catch up with the one-arm
ed hero or even save himself from
being distanced.
At Oates looked
over the returns*and r smarted: I am
elected by at least 20,000 majority,
retired with entire satisfaction. He
says hss nr'>pheej as to the <najority
has been fulfilled.
He has always said it would be
20 000, After a careful review of the
situation the g.*veror-elect said that
the Democrats would have a majority
lof at least ad jzen or filteeh in the
legislature.
Tom Gafts a prominent local poli
tician says the majority in the house
will be nearer tuirty. Most of the
Democrats will be satisfied with a
dozen majority however.
The negjo vote split In some coun
ties the black men voted solidly with
the Democrats, in others they divided
i heir patronage betweenthe two par
ties but probably two thirds of
then did not vote at all.
The returns indicate that Kolb
carried something like half of the
counties but the democrats carried
almost all of the large counties
and praciic-lty all of the towns,
Democrats here preciounce the elec
Hon the fairest that has been held
in Alabama since the war.
The Sayre law the new election
law has appeared to work most
satisfactorily. The charge of the
Koibites that itwasouly anbther
engine of fraud has uot been sus
tained by the experience of this
election.
An exceedingly lifcht vote was
polled in the state if the returns
tell the tale correctly. This was
occasioned by the failure of the
negroes to vote.
The average negro evidently
figuredthat this was not his fight
and he has let the white folks
fight it out among themselves. The
democrats have received no shods
from the leports tonight.
True Talladega and Jefferson
fell a little out of line but these
were no surpises and were more
than offset by gains in Pike, Lim
estone. Henry and other counties
which last time went for Kolb by
big odds. In almost all other
counties the reports indicate that
the democrats have made gains.
ROME GEORGIA. TUESDAY EVENING AUGUST. 7 1894.
“OUR JOHN”
Mais a Strong Spessh Yesterday
in Favor of Retrenchment
AND CARRIED HiS POINT
It was on ths Confsrence Re
port on Treaties With the
Indians. Anti--silver
Democrats are Be
coming Alarmed
This mornings Cons’itution con
tains the following special from
Washington :
Washington, August 7. (Spe
cial ) Representative Tom Caba
uica returned from Georgia this
morniug. H« was warmly greeted
by his friends who expressed their
rngiet that he had lost the nomi
nation, He said he would not
withdraw fortnaUy from the race,
fur there would ne no need of it.
The Southern members who
voted against all the silver amend
tneuts during the lepeal fight in
the extra session, are beginning
to feel a lirtle tremulous as their
primaries and convention ap
i proneh.
The members who have failed of
nomination so far are those who
voted for 'Unconditional repeal '
Representative Stone,of Kentucky,
who was eae of the strongest men
in that delegation, wis defeated
Saturday fur his unconditional
vote white Montgomery.who it was
thought, would not be returned,
ven out on his silver record.
These advance cases look ominous
for tnose who are to come to trial
later.
JUiIGE MADDOX OBJECTED.
Judge Mad I'X made ast rong
speech ou the floor of the house to
daz iu favor of retrenchment. It
was during the discussion of the
couferuce report ou treaties with
' the Indians
' The senate had ameudedjthe bill
to pay to the Yuma. Yankton,Si
i oux and the Yokiria, $260,000. and
open up their territories. Judge
Maddox took tne ground that the
land was uot needed now for set
tlement, and if it was the treasu
ry was in no condition to pay for
it.
He made the strongest speech
against this amendment and the
boutse did uot agree to it, It will
go back to conference.

A Sensational Society Shooting
Scrape at Charlotte.
OLIVER SHOOTS MYERS.
The Trouble Grew out of a
Swell German Given by
Myers at Moorehead
City. Oliver Gives a
$5,000 Bond
Charlotte. N, C August 7. —The
shooting this morning of Jabez My
ers. a young society man of Charlotte
by Fred Oliver, president cf the
Charlotte Oil and Fertilizer Company
and a wealthy resident of this citv
created a great sensation.
The encounter occurred on North
Graham street about 8:30 oclock,Mr
Oliver was passing along in his bug
gy on his way to one of his oil mills,
when young Mvers rushed out of the
house in which he was staying at the
time and attacked the mill man.
Wnat conversation ensued between
them is not yet clear. It is said that
Myers accused Oliver of interfearing
in a love allair between himself and a
certain young lady. Myers, while
talking to Oliver, reached around tn
his pistol pocket, though it is said
he was unarned, whereupon the lat
ter drew his pistol and shot the young
man, first in the mouth and then in
the right arm.
He then drove off, Myers running
along behind tha buggy for some dis
tance yelling and shrieking, hall
cr. zed with rage and pain.
The cause of the shooting was some
tr >uble between the principals which
’ started at Mooreheal City during the
cummer. Oliver, by advice of counsel
fuses to talk.
From all that can be learned, it
seems that Myers gave a german at
Moorehead in honor of a charming
young lady. It was an elegant affur.
perhaps the swellest of the season.
At this time he was paving atten
tion tothe young lady and he charges
that Oliver broke up the match by
telling the young ladys mother that
Myers could not afford to give an
event such as the german was.
It was under this belief that Myers
harbored enmity against Oliver. My
ers travels lor a New York house
His wounds are very dangerous, but
not necessarily fatal, Oliver waived
examination at the preliminary trial
this afternoon and give bond in the
sum of $5,000

HIS MASCOT!.
‘‘ln travelling from New York
to Cleveland a few days ago,’ said
William K, Walsh, of tie first named
city, who was at the Lindell yester
day, U I was interested in a blind boy
who occupied a berth iu the sleeper
and was taken into meals by a stout
man whose deportment and dress
proclaimed to be a lover of race horses
In the course of conversation with
the lad I asked him where be was
going, and he told me his destination
was the Cleveland trotting meet, ad
ding with singular sincerity that he
was a mascot.
When I found that he was not jok
ing I questioned him and found tl at
the big fellow with whom he was
travelling had met him at the entrance
to one of the Eastern tracks last year
and had given him a dollarg
Luck bad been against him all tl e
season, but that day he won every
riice, even the twenty to one chance
being included among hia good
things. After night the plunger
hunted up the blind boy, gave him a
good suit of clothes and practically
adopted him, taking him around with
him raco meetings all over the
country. n he mascot assured me
that he had a delightful time ha ving
nothing to do and being treated ‘just
like a swell,’ to use his owfi words,
From cuirosity I tried to enter in
to a conversation with the sport as to
how the charm of the blind ex beg
gar worked, I was politely told to
mind mj own business, but there was
an air of prosperity and success about
the big fellow which convinced me
that the relations between the mascot
and himself w«re as satisfactory to
employer as to an employe.

IO CENTS A WEEK
WATERWORKS.
Will Cost the City Much More
Money.
BEFORE CLEAR WATER
Can be Served the People. The
Chairman of the Water
Works Committee Filed
an Interesting Report
Last Night.
COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST CtH. 1894]
Present. Mayor Jno. D. Moore,
Councilmen Miller, Harris, Mc-
Arver, Hamilton, McCaffrey,
Wright and Stoffregan. The super
intendant of water works made his
quarterly report, the principal
parts of which show that there
were a number of changes necessa
ry at the new pumping station to
put the station in good condition.
The pipe supplying water to the
pump was nine inches higher in
the well than in the river.
The engines failed to pump the
amount required by the contract,
to wit, four million gallons per
day; the pumps being only able
to pump three million fifty three
thousand seven hundred and thri-
ty gallons.
The condenser at the works has
only capacity for condensing for
one engine, and thus both pumps
cannot be run with it at the same
time.
It. is stated that some of the
machinery is placed too high for
good working. It is also stated
a filtering plant ii necessary for
clean work.
The report shows the colections
for the fiist quarter of 1894
amounts to $2,015 93 and increase
over first quarters of 82 and 9t
which are as follws: for the first
quarter of 92 $1,233.00, forthefirst
quarter ot 93 $1,169.70,
Attached to the supereutendants
report was a report of the engin
eer of the Laidlaw Dun Gordon
Co,, from whom the engines were
purcnased, shewing that the ma
chinery at the works were not
placed properly to do the work re-
... 1 it.. «« 4- in WF CS
required: the report also shiws
that eft'mis is being made to stop
I up the aperture which lets Etowah.
River water into to the old water
well,
This is expected to be done, and
if it can be accomplished, pure,
cleat water be funished the city
from the old well until the means
can be provided to complete the
new water works, and place it so
that it will provide clear water,
The chairman of the water work?
committee made the following
statement will reference to the
cost of the works.
As a partial report upen the
water works system of rhe etty I
desire to state that from the re
cords and such other facts as I
have been able to learn, I find that
the new water works was begun in
1893. The following expenditures

made.

1893 <7023.58
