Alabama goes Democratic by 25- oao to 40,000 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. OUT ON BOND. Lee DavidsonlMakes a SSOO Bond And is Free.

C'JLD LEAD 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 j ii 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.

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.
