WOODS, old Stand 403 Broad St, I THEY WANTBONDS 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.

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.

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. WHAT THE LADf SAID, And the Holy Russian Synod Made Haste to Accomodate her.

Concessions to Princess Alix. Berlin, October, 17.—The Kreuz Zeitung says that Princess Alix of Hesse has obtained concessit n from the Russian holy synod such as no princess in a like position ev ,er before secured In embracing the 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 own, but with the Russian church. The holy synod will be satisfied with a simple declaration that ( the princess joins the Greek church with her future husband. The Little Gr e n Market No. 427 Broad St. Everything Clean and nice.
