That is the Majority of the “Star
Gazers"
IN THE FALL OF NINEVEH
Were in Favor of Bonds this
Morning. Recorder Spul
lock holds a B & B
(Bruised & Bloody)
Matine Circus ,
After Lude.
The largest performance of the
“Fall of Nineveh” aver held un
der the present administration was
presided over by his Honor, Re
corder James Spullock, assisted by
Lieutenant Guice and a score of
officers regular and special this as-
The famous katekombsof Rome
were found to be over flowing with
a variagated throng who had met
by forces over which they had no
i kontrol and who were held togeth
er a» by bars of steel and a koni"
mun desire to secure bonds.
The first f-iuners called, was a
pair that walked on three legs and
a wooden stub. Henry Mayfield,
the one. 'egged koon who repress
ed Car o'lt >u’r da ktown 400.
He came up to Rome to see the
circus and iu leaving fell in love
with a two gallon jug of corn wins
spirits were korked up and a hover
ing on the Exi r§s Company’s
truck down under the fameous Syc
amores of “You-know-knick,”
brand. ,
Henry asked Andrew Williams
a Floyd county darkey to help him
get the jug on the train and Wil
liams was nabbed by an honest
negro who detected the theft.Pegleg
was bound over in the sum of $150;
while the Floyd negro wants bonds
to the tune of SSO per capita.
Ben Wright and Gus Clements,
both u e nbers ot Rome’s dark
town 400 were fined $1 each for
koutempt of kourt. They wer**
witnesses in the above kas* and
king baggage transfur-men lost
too much time roping in quarters
on a trunk line before they switch
edoff to the Fail of Ninevah.
Charlie Durham, of Cedartown’s
darktown colony, seemed to have
been drinking long horns and mix
ed up in a rucus under the Syca
more depot, —but was discharged.
Redmond Rhyne, an old offender
of Rome’s darktown —a member
the inner circle of the Lime Kiln
Klub, was fined $lO or 20 days,
for fighting.
Arthur Black, an ebony hued
brunette, clothed in a poker dot
shirt and a towell necktie, and
wearing a pompadour and a smile
like grim death, was up for “noth
ing at all” according to the wit
nesses. But the evidence showed
that he and an absent koon had
the same wife and that Arthur was
a Nancy Hanks on a footrace,
having sprung a chase yesterday
afternoon in which it took seven
policemen, 18citizens, 43 kooias, a
reporter and three dogs to ketch
him. jje wftS fi or 8 days
Nathan Walker, the colored
plasterer, entered a plea of guilty
to a charge of plain drunk, and
was fined $2,50
“Man in No. 1,” was next call
ed and a young white man arose
from the anxious bench and took
his stand over against the throne
of Justice. He gave his name as
Palmer Pierce, of Felton, Ga.,
and entered a plea of guilty to a
oharst Jof having “swilled too much
coffin varnish.’ He was fined $2,50
and having no money was trans
ferred to the mourners bench.
Mr. Kelley, of. .Etowah, was
tarred with the same stick, and
“had also wanted to paint the town
a Hutsleß of Rome read. He was
honest in his confession and
“hoped that every body would ex
cuse him so that he could quit it.’
He was fined $2,50. and respond
ed heartily with his kash, In thank
ing the recorder and the officers
he spread it on pretty thick, say
ing he was “a thousand times
ableege t© you all gentlemen and
I hope some day to do as much for
youns.’’But will he?
Sanders Dillard and George
Gaines, two kountry koons “stood
THF HUSTLER OF ROME WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 17 1894,
up together” and were each fund
$2.50 or five days, for a pair of the
most simplieit circus drunks that
were kaptured yesterday
Stewart Lenard and Strickland
Lenard, two “red negroes’’ well
known in police circles were dis
charged on a charge of disorderly
conduct. The only witness against
them was Broker John Smith, of
the “Broad Street Wood Ex
change.”
Clark Prater, a middle aged
kountry negro who’s wool seemed
to be not worth shearing, since the
Democratic tariff bill had put that
article on the free list, was fined
$4. The evidence showed that
Clark was reveling in a jag and
told a good woman in a Broad
Street crowd, that he didn’t keer
if he did step on her damlittlekid.
He has been taught that while wool
is free, there is still protection
thrown around all infant indus
tries of the “kid” variety.
Bill Proctor, a young white man
was fined $2,50 for a circus “jag”
Bill is a South Rumecitizen.
But the most pathetic case of the
Jay was tir d when Mr.lsaac Hills
name was called.
Mr 'Hill prov d to be a tall man
a little stooped and giizzled, with
maseiveshoulders. He wore a pur
ple neck tie and biled shirt and a
worried look which seemed io 'ors
shadow iu its dark depths the
breaking of the nearly d own.
He was iu ou a plaiu drunk,and
told the Recorder euffi a pathetic
story that he was let off with a $2
fine, Mr. Hill, |-aid be had lived
for 8 me years in this country down
bet zeeu Oreburg and Lavender,
and that yesterday was the second
time iu his life that he had ever
been to Ronin. .
He had come to see the circus,
had tanked up too heavily on tan
glefoot and been locktd up. In
1 e |of his having missed the cir
cus the price of his ticket was de
ducted from the regular Fall of
Ninevah price for circus jags, He
p id $2 aud departed those coasts.
Tom T»te, a hatchet faced ne
gro from Gordon county got on a
lordly old high lonesome and kus
eed out the town officers and the
natives. He was fined $lO aud
crowded the mourners.
Then came the finale in which
a dozen negroes appeared as de
fendants. It seems that on last
night a big darktown dance wac
held at the Fourth ward residence
of Rsv. Billy Malone, of peculiar
laugh fame, and while iu progrese
a sturbment arose and "ever body
got ter mixen. ”
• The evidence showed that both
languages, that is dia.ect and pro
fane were used with profusion and
darktown tengues. And then there
were razors in the air and they
were accompanied by knives,
spades pick bandies and pistols.
And as a result, while a few ne
groes were krippled up, one kul
lurd sister w’as insulted. Dunk
Gwaltney undertook to make the
villain appologise and for it he
got bound over in the num of SIOO
on a charge of shooting at anoth
er.
Will Fleetwood, the insulter was
fined $7,50 and Miss anna Waits
the insultee was fined $3,50 for
fighting the whole gang.
Thus ended the Fall of Nineveh
of the Barnum Bailey vintige of
94. Let er roll I

The crowds handled by the Elec
tric (’ar company on yesterday
was the “largest experience” that
company has enjoyed in its histo
ry; and while 1 am at it I will say
that Superintendent Green with
his big force of polity conductors
and careful mortormen, are to be
congratulated upon the work they
did. As on n of an appreciative
public, I feel that way about it.
The Electric Car company can
handle a circus crowd.

But what I started out to do
was to “roast” inert and boys, es
pecially white men who claim to
be gentlemen, Southern gentlemen
if y>u please; white meu old and
young who so far forgot them
selves qs to rush on the car and
capture a seat and hold it down
while ladies are let “swing to the
straps.”
♦ ♦
I never knew this to o cur in
Rome until yesterday—aud would
hardly have believed it if I had
not been an eye witness Os course
there is uo law on the statue books
of the stale ag inst it. Os course
not. But there should be that m
the heart of every true Georgian
which would prompt him to look
to the comfort of eyejy lady,
* *
*
I noticed oue negro man who
paid his tare, who rose promptly,
and politely and respectfully of
fered his seat to a white woman,
I noticed too that the lady was as
prompt to thank him. There was a
lesson that the younger generation,
and a few pale faced brothers, for
that matter, might well study.
Boys be polite—No matter what
the cost, if you have a uickle to
pay car fare, why be polite as far
as it goes. You will be happier.

Among the “slick dux” who
turned up in Rome yesterday,
none were “slicker” than the fakir
who went to Chief Shropshire, and
representing himself as Chief of
Bnrnum & Rally’s detectives, in
troduced four of his assistants
saying he would like to have them
work in concert with the Rome
Police force in the watching of
crooks and the protection of the
masses from thieves and pick
pockets.
o o o
Each of the “so called detec
tives” wore a little nickle badge
bearing the legend “Barnum &
Bailey detective No. 1,2, 3, or 4
as the case might be. This was all
right as far as it went, but.—
«r W
*
A short while after these same
detectives appeared on the street
each swinging onto a couple of
hundred of gay little balloons. The
moment chief Shropshire heard of
it he ordered the detectives run in.
o o o
The orders were promptly obey
ed and for one bri*f half hour
there were a thousand balloons
locked up in the city kooler.
These Detecteves undertook to
work a bluff but quickly came to
time and paid the $2.50 city li
cense and walked forth to bleed
the people of the city who’s police
force they could not bleed.
w
* ♦
Its my private opinion publicly
expressed that the city authorities
should have made concessions and
let the Barnum & Bailey Circus
parade the streets. Outside of the
question of dollars and cents there
were hundreds of little folks whose
parents either could not or would
not carry them to the circus and
the street parade would have been
a feast to their bright little eyes'
I dont know where the blame lies
but I believe in children seeing cir
cuses every time, and would, if I
could, see that every little fellow
in my town was furnished a re
serve seat to every good show that
cornea along.

Herr Von Flenner’s Bill in The Aus
trian Reichstath.
Vienna, October 17.—1 n the
reichstath today Heft* von Blen
ner introduced a hill providing for
a monopoly by the state of the re
fining and the sale of spirits'. Herr
von Plenner argued, in support of
the measure, that it would prevent
the people from being poisoned by
poor alcohols, and would, besides,
ugment the revenue of the state.
According to the terms of the bill,
the production of raw spiiits is
left to private enterprise, but pro
ducers are only allowed to sell to
the state for refining purposes in
the government factories. Produc
ere are also allowed to export
whatever raw spirits the govern
ment may not reqn:ri.

orthodox faith. The princess will
not declare her former religion to
be accursed, nor will she state her
conversion is due to the conviction
that the truth lies not with her

The holy synod will be satisfied
with a simple declaration that (
