Lumsden remonstrated with Brown, who replied in an impu dent manner. Lumsden struck him over the head with a riding whip. The infursa’ed negro seized a heavy ice saw and aimed a blow at Lumsden’s head. The latter threw up his hand and caught the force of the blow, which would probably otherwise have killed him. His left hand was cut nearly in two. The negro fled, but was caught by the officers, who immediately hurried him to jaiL It was none too soon, either, for him to escape the rage of Lumsden’s friends, who would have made short work of him. Feeling is high tonight. Pre caution has been taken to insure the negro’s safety. Capt. J. L. Base, has just return ed from a tcur of th» Baes stores in Carrolton, Griffin, and At lanta.

WEDNESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER. 19 189<k THE BIC SHOW Sells Brothers Gave two Maer.ifi cent Petformances. ' SHOWS REORGRNiZEO For SouthenTour. Thousands of Peoole in the Cdyview the Monster parade ana Enjoy the Menag ery and C'rcus The circus was a success. On account of the appearance of two shows in Rome this season, the advertising has been exten sive, and Sells, which was here yes terday, vied with the Barnum A Bailly show, in the promises of something unusually good in their circus. The streets were crowded with people all day yesterday, but not exceeding one half of the crowd went insite of the great white can vas. Their only excuse for not doing so, was that they didn’t have the price. Because of delay in getting to North Rome, the street parade did not take place until lo’ clock. Is was a splendid parade considering in what a short space of time it was gotten up. Yesterday was undoubtedly a feast for the street car line, as six cars were kept running to North Rome and every one was packed with happy humanity. Sells Brother’s linquestiona! ly have a first-class circus, and this fact will be testified to by every body that attended the two per formances yesterday. The crowd that paid the admission price and. : went iu, was not as large as the Bariium & Bailey show will have. Simply because the country people have not sold any cotton and did not have the money. Colonel Seeley, one of the man agers of the show, escorted a Hust ler reporter through the tent and gave some interesting facts con ce uing the circus .this season, “Everything we have now is practically new,’’ he said. “This tent was put up for ihe first .tirfte in Louisville, and this is the fourth , time we have showed under it. It cost $4,800 for the cloth and mak- A ing of it. ••Those Bengal tigers there, ar? the largest and rarest specimens ever in captivity. Their market value is SIO,OOO though they did not cost us ihat. They are doubly royal because they are from the private collection of the Prince of of India. Very few people have any idea of the enormious daily expense of a large modern circus like ours. When rain or any kind of an acci dent occurs to prevent us from giving a performance, it is a dead loss of several hundred dollars, because expenses go on just the same. “All this stuff about our being a second class show is utter bosh but you can see that for your self. We have something over 300 horses, and they are all fine high priced animals.” The crowd during the day was a noisy, but good natured one, and ( with the exception of a few drunk- i eu infli’., nothing unusual occurred to mar the day . The Barnum & Bailey show will be hero October I6’h, and it is expected that the largest crowd Rome has ever seen will be here. < T- / ] 25th.

It is in charge of Col.D. M. An drews, and the work of dredging Horseleg Shoalswill commence at once. Col. Andrews was seen by a Hustler of Rome reporter at noon, and gave some of the plans of making the Coosa navigable, ‘‘We have a force of hands at work building lock No. 4. over 200 miles below here. Another crew is at work between lock 2 and 3, dredging the gravel where it has filled in. It has been eighteen years, you know, since that was first done. ; ‘‘Now lam here, and we have a , fleet of barges at Horseleg Shoals, and will go to work there as soon as the river goes down a little. So there will be three squads nt work opening up a fine winter way. “On the trip up wcJiad consider able difficulty in navigating in some places, and had to pull up with ropes. The “Leota”/draws more water than any of the boats going out from here. “The last congress appropriated only SIIO,OOO to this river which t is not nearly enough to finish up the work. Still we can do consid erable with that sum . We will be able to continue through October and next season will take up the work where we leave off. “The day you see an open water way to the gulf a new era of pros perity will sqt in for all the coun try traversed by the rivers Rome being the terminial station will be incalculably b°nefited. “Some enterprising man here ought to build a fiae boat and equip it ejegaufly <>nd he would coin inoifey. ’’ This is a work that every citizen of Rome feels a vital interest in. ana it is one that means much for the future prosperity of this section.
