New Orhans, Octobet 50.—Th*
•trike Bituatioa in thia city has as
sumed a serious phase and a race
war is thrwataaed. This afternoon
thera was a good deal of excite
ment on the levee between Jackson
and Sixth streets, the scene of
Saturday's riot, caused by the re
port that a force of armed negroes
was on route to the scene to avenge
the action of the mob on Saturday.
Ina moment ©vary place of bas
iuess in the locality was closed and
work was suspended. Women and
children :a i inio their houses for
safety, expecting at any moment
to hear the reports of shooting.
Chief of Police Gaster sent a large
force to the scene oi the alleged
trouble. The moment the screw
men of the ships heard the report
they swarmed out, flourishing
their revolvers and rifles, but they
could not find the enemy.
Tonight the men congregated in
the neighborhood and the report
is that both the negroes and the
whitee are preparing for a fight to
morrow.
The governor arrived tonight ano
held a long conference with the
directors of the cottoa exchange.
It is expected that he will order
out the militia.
To further complicate the situa
tion the white longshoremen today
struck against working with negroes

The Great Prize Contest Ends With
This Issue.
WHO WILL WIN?
The Last Word of the Sentence
Appears This Evening. Qreet
Interest Taken in it by
the Young People of
the City.
Nothing has aver equaled the
Hubtlbb oy Romb’« prize contoete
the last word of which appear a
this evening.
The young people of the city
have taken more than uaual inter
est in it, because is is for, and *•'-
peals directly to them. The main
prize ie one that any intelligent
boy or girl wants, a complete set
•of the Constitution’s Encyclopae
dia Britanica. The set will be hand
somely and durably bound, and
will prove a life-long and useful
help.
And besides this, every boy or
<irl who competes will have the
assurance that if they do not get
the Encyclopaedia, they will get a
handsome saving bank if they
should build the sentence aorrect
ly.
The last word of the series which
appears today, was not known in
this office until five minutes before
the paper went to press, and all
the outsiders, and parties not di
rectly connected with the paper
were forbidden to go into the com
posing room.
This will give children, who get
the paper a few minutes later than
those nearer the office, an equal
chance to get their answer in first.
This contest, we claim has been
one of the moat successful and
popular ever held in Rome, and
every parent naturally f»els an in
terest in seeing hi* child win the
prize.
inaugurated tki«'contest
matter of course to bring the pA
per before the people and increase
the circulation. In this, our high
est expectations have been realized,
and the increased popularity of
the Hustler of Rome has been ex
tremely gratifying.
Your answers are to be pasted
on the blanks that appear this af
ternoon. There is a space for each
word, and when you think you
have solved the puzzle, paste the
words in the order that they
should come and as the spaces are
marked. And to make it absolutely
certain write the sentence out in
the lines prepared for that purpose.
To show that the Hustler of
Rome has been perfectly impartial
and fair in the contest it will be
well to state that the sentence is
Known now to only two men.
Mr Shumaker, of Atlanta, built
rhe sentence, and then it was car
ried to a notary Public, and the
nvelop sealed with ati affidavit to
rhe effect that only those two
knew the contents of the sealed
package.
This was sunt to Rome and
placed in charge of Prof. J. C.
Harris, the well-known superinten
dent of the public schools. He hag
allowed no one to see the envelope
containing the sentence, and has
no more idea than you what it is,
Your answer then should be
placed in an envelope, but don’t
seal it. Carry this to the Britan
nica Reading Rooms, 309 Broad
Street, where a committee es three
representative citizens of Rome
will hold the contest.
We repeat that the result of this
contest has befen highly gratifying
to the management, and we hope
and believe it has proven so to the
patrons of the paper.
Who will win the prize? It may
be you.»

on which will prove a great ac

President J. W. Thompson, of
the N. C. & St. L. has assured Mr.
W. W. Brooks, who was president
of the Rome Railroad, that work
would commence at once on a
splendid new passenger depot. It
will front on First avenue, and
will probably extend from the
present depot to Broad street,
But that isn’t the best of it, a
large and handsome car shed will
be erected, that will take in all the

A new freight depot will be

by the old Noble’s Foundry Build

inches. The rivers are lower than

it will take considerable more rain

an immense amount of water to
