SUNDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER. 16 18P4. BAGGEDFIVE. A Thrilling Experience with a lot of fcegro Gamblers OVER l«t NEW ROME. Raymond McConnel and three Bailiffs Capture Five Des perate Negroes, but the Sixth one Es capes. Mr. Haymond McConnell, Bail iffs Bill McLeod, Henry Beard, and J. D. Barker, of Cave Spring, had a thrilling experence Friday night, with a lot of negro gamb lers out at the furnace. They went out to New Rome, to arrest Jane Dennis, Sip Stans bury, and Buck Hayden, who were wanted on different charges. The Dennis, woman lives in one of the lo- g row of houses that stands in middle of the field near the furnace. It is a four room building, and the woman occupies two rooms, and the other proved to be a regular gambling den. the officers slipped up to the house and fp.v several negroes play ing cards, mid money sc.siter ed over lhe table. Mi. McCooneli and B*»il;ff Mc- Leod, enieied Hie bouse al differ ent doors, while thentiiers remain ed ou the outside. «.s they got in the room the negroes made a des perate effort to hide the money, but McConnell mad Beard covered tiiem with their pistols. Young McConnell commenced; To baud cuff a big negro named Julius Rogers, and when he took bold «>t Joe Campbell to put his arm on the side Qt the cuff, Camp bell made a swipe at the lamp to extinguish it. Bui McLoed was too quick tor turn and seized ihe light. Campbell then made a break for the door and legged it out across the cotton patch like a grey hound and succeeded in eluding the offi cers for a while. In the-excitement McLeod ran out of the room with the lamp, leaving young McConnell in the dark, with live burly negroes. Then Rogers gradually edged to wards a window, and with a move ment as quick as thought, dived headlong through it, carrying glass sash and all with him. Raymond shot at the disappearing form, but missed him. The negro fell full on his head, five feet to the ground, and immediately disappeared, ta king with him a fine pair of hand cuffs. The funniest part of the whole business, though, was the fact that when the negro jumped through the window, five silver dollars fell out of his pocket, thus unintentionally paying for the stolen bracelets. Don Land, Rob Hooper, Henry Denny, Julus Rogers, Joe Camp bell and John Williams, were the gamblers, and all but the two that escaped were brought to the city and jailed. The officers took the blood-hounds and returned to the furnace to see if they could get the two others. But the dogs could not strike the trail. They came back through the Fifth Ward and went to Camp bells house, and found him in bed sound asleep. He was brought back to Rome and placed in jail. Land and Hooper were only holding stakes and yesterday turn ed States evidence and were re leased. The others were bound over under SIOO bond for gaming. The hand culls were the same that brought Beresford from New York and Beck from Texas. It seems that they are gone this time, however, for good and all. It was a splendid piece of work, bagging the lot, and only allow ing one man to get away. The par ties will not for get the experience soon. IT WAS AWFUL The Way the Cartersoille team Granted off the Game 10 RUNS IN ONE MG. Rome hacijthe Game Cinched uP to xh p Fifth Inning and Then They We n t to Pi’ces. Cartersville Took 2 of the 3. I'p to the fifth inning yester day Roim had a dead cinch on the last game with the Carters ville Combination team. The score then stood 10 to 1 for the locals. But in that fatal fight sky rockets, Roman Candles, Buzz wheels and everything else in the fire works line went off. Just ten of those Stewart Young visitors clattered acrossjhe rubber and that won the game. But not a bit of discredit of that inning should go to John Proctor, who was pitching. Up to that time Cartersville had secured but one hit off of him, and his Ditching was magnificent. The boys just went to prices in the field and ma le the rankest kind of errors. The side should been retired with only two runs. The final score was 15 to 10 for the visitors, and they went away with two victories to their credit Tom Berry umpired a fair and im-partial game, giving ,* entire satisfaction to every one.

Breckin ridge is defeated for a renomma tion to Congress. Wm. C. Owens, from returns in at this hour, seems to have swept the district and won tne mostbril lirnt victory ever archieved in Ken tucky. That the fight has been a heated one, would express it in its mildest form. But through it all the major ity has spoken and in no uncer tain tones put the seal of condem nation on moral corruption even when that disease has Breckenrigdg for its shining mark. The women of Kentuckey, God bless them, have won this fight and in the beauty of their woman hood have successfully 7 relegated the white-haired libertine to the walks of private life, and elevated the standard of the morality of our representatives.
