THE Hi STUCK OF ROME.
GOV. ATKINSON.
Thats the way it reads by from 25,-
030 to 35.030. Majority
TriE POPULISTS VOTE
Isnotmuch argerthan in 1892
• Although re inforced by the
Negroes vote in Many
Sactions of Tha
State.
Governor Atkinson has swept
the State by from 25 to 80 thou
sand majority.
This statement is based on the
latest consolidated returns and
these figures will embrace the
democratic water mark of 1894.
So far as can be seen, the loss
to democracy has been in the ap
athy of democrats, in a feeling of
soreheadism and overconfinence.
The summary from official re
turns received shows that the pop
utists have about 55 members in
the next Legislature and five in
the senate, where the democrats
have about 120 members in the
Legislature and 38 in the senate.
From many sections of the state
comes reports of frauds perpetrated
by both sides, but most of them by
the guileless, meek and lowly
followers of Watson, Hines & Co.
Our own, the “bloody seventh”
has given Mr. Atkinson a majority
of about two thousand, and loosing
to the pops but one senator and a
half dozen representatives.
Now that the democrats have
been aroused, however the next
battle, the one between honest, true
John W. Maddox and Dr. Flopper
Felton will show that Seventh Dis
trict democracy has only been
sleeping.

ROME GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING OCTOBER. 5 1894.
A MILE iN 1:581-4.
| Flying Jib Sets the Pace for aH
Pacers.
LOWERS THE RECORD.
The Crowd Yelled Its Self
Hoarse When the Flyer
Came Down Under the
Wire at Chillicothe,
on Yesterday.
Chillicothe, 0., October 5, —Ten
thousand people, covered with
overcoats and wraps, witnessed
the fastest mile ever made in har
ness by Flying Jib here today.
The day was cold and a stiff wind
was blowing from the north, mak
ing fast time apparently impossi
ble.
Flying Jib, however, was equal
to the occasion. The great pacer
was advertised to go against the re
cord of Robert J, when in reallity
he went hitched to a running mate
to beat the record of Westmont,
2:01f, made in this style of racing
at ChicagoSn 1884.
At 4:80 o’clock the great geld*
ing was brought on the track and
was given a warming-up heat by
his owner, Monroe Salisbury.
His driver, Andy McDowell, then
took the lines, and before the
audience realized what was going
on, he came up the little loop and
nodded for the word. Swi't as the
strong north wind that was blow
ing in his face the great lu rse
seemed to go, pacing without a
skip, in an easy manner, while his
running mate seemed to lag be
hind.
The time was only caught at the
half-mile post, which was done in
59 fiat. Down the home stretch he
came like a western cyclone, and
the 20,000 eyes that were fixed on
the great horse could scarcely be
lieve it was a living animal they
were looking at.
When the wire was reached the
audience yelled itself hoarse, as
they knew the record was beaten.
Starter Hooper then addressed
the multitude as follows:
“This audience has witnessed
something no other audience has
ever seen. Flying Jib has paced a
mile in 1:58|, making the first
half in 59 Hat and the last half in
59f seconds.”
At 5 o’clock Directly was
brought on the track to beat his |
record of 2:07f, but made his mile
in 2 :094 only. I

H FATHERS CRIME
Charged With Being an Accesory
to the
MURDERD HIS DAUGHTER
He was Arrested and, Weeo
ingly, Silently, led to Jail
Veheemently Denied
his Guilt. A Daugh
ter Hysterical
Raleigh, N C, October s.—ln
the trial here today of George
Mills, for the murder of his niece,
lona Wimberly, Drs Moore and
Cotton, who attended Miss Wim
berly, said her death was due to a
heavy blow on the side of the head.
She had been struck six times
on the head, they testified. There
was no evidence of an attempt to
outrage her.
There was no positive evidence
that Mills on the day before the
murder, went to a store and
bought laudanum, and a witness
testified that the day after the at
tact on lona, he had found on the
floor of the abandoned house where
she was found, a piece of paper,
which the man who sold the laudi
num identified as that in which
he had warpped it.
The most startling evidence o
the day was given by Deputy Sher
iff Walters, and was regarding
what Mills told him the night the
latter was taken from jail to pre
vent his threatened lynching.
Mills had been told not to talk,
but did so aud .said he hoped to
see lona recover so she fcould tell
the truth. He said that if the truth
were known her father would be
found as guilty as himself.
Judge Bynum this afternoon is
sued a bench warrant for A J.
Wimberly, lona’s father as an ac
cessory before the fact to murdar.
The grand jury later returned* true
bill against him for murder. He
was jailed. He appeared utterly
undone vehemently protested his
hinoceuce aud wept silmtly. As
he was being taken to jail, bis daugb
ter Savannah became hysterical ar d
her cries were heard in the courT
room.lt is said tirat Wimberly will
uot betriel at this term. The wit
nesses in his case are the same as
those in th? Mills case. His arrest
was not un«xnected.
KEENE AS HAMLET.
A Splendid Performance and a
Large Audience.
w
One of the largest and most
fashionable audiences that has fill
ed Nevin’s Opera House in many
days, greeted Mr. Thos. Keene and
his company last night.
The performance was all that
was expected, and Mr. Keene as
the dark and gloomy Hamlet show
ed the fire of a great genius.
To appreciate the power and
the art of character, you must
concentrate your mind upon every
passionate, sneering, or sad
thought uttered by the fated
Prince of Denmark, and last night
the constant interruptions from
late couples coming in, so detract
the attention of the audienct,
that the actors’ work was not fuliy
appreciated until the second and
third act.
The support was good. Special
mention should be made of Mr.
Arden, as Laertes, and Miss Law
rence as Ophelia. The scene at the
burial of Ophelia was a wonderful
piece of work, and Laertes showed
that there is in him the making
of a great actor.
The company went to Chatta
nooga this morning and will play
there tonight.
