STH AVENUE FOURTH WARD THE HUSTLER OF ROME. HEAVY TRAFFIC. The Southern's Trains are Crowd ed With Tourists. The passenger traffic on the Southern Railway ia enormous now, and trains going in each di rection are crowded to their utmost capacity. Tuesday night, the 9 o’clock train going South was jammed full of tourifets on their way to Florida for the winter. There were nine passenger cars, and many were compelled to stand. Five sleepers would not accommodate those who desired them. Although two bag gage cars were used, most of the was left in Chattanooga. The travel to Florida is unusual ly heavy this winter and it seems as if the Southern is getting most of it. Mr. T. C. Smith informs the re porter that a great number of je.>- pie from this section are going West and to the North-west. Many of these are farmers and come from Alabama. Denies it Herself. Washington, D. C., December 7. —There is evidently a case of mis taken identify in the story tele graphed from Kansas City of tl e death in jail there, from excessive dissipation, of Mrs Edith Arm strong. better known as “Dovie” Comstock, and said to be the daughter of D. C. Forney, the one time editor of the famous ante-bel lum paper, the Chronicle. Mr. Forney lives in Washington, at 2731 P street, ami today he re ceived a letter fro®? his daughter, who is Mrs. D. P. Watrous, of New York City, saying that she is alive and well and that she never went as far West as Kansas City in seer life. It has deeply grieved the fam ily that the old scai dal connected with Mrs. Wa&rous’ early career has been revived by the story -<>>f her death.
