I DANGEROUS FIRE.
The Bakery Department at Stef?
regens Damaged.
Last night fire was discovered in
rear of Stoffregen’s bakery, where
the ovens are located.
It is a two story frame building,
and the flames caught from the
Gas jet. The fire-companies re
sponded pronrptfly, and found tie
flames bunssng fiercely.
There was a slight delay in get
ting w-ater, owing to the distance
some of the connections had to he
made, but the fire was soon.extin
guished after water was secured.
The stream was very strong and
it was handled well by the'fire lad
dies. The building was owned by
H.G. Stuffnegan, and had no in
surance. The damage will »>t ex
ceed $250.
McGinnis A Cain had then paint
shop in part of the building, and
th air materials were badly damaged
by the fire and water.

ROME GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING DECEMBER. 13 1894.
ADJOURNED
The Georgia Legislators Have De
parted from Atlanta.
$15,000 TO THE MILITARY
Only one Vote Saved the State
an Extra Session of the Leg
islature. The Registra
tion Bill and Insolvent
Traders Act.
This mornings Constitution con
tains the following of the last mo
ments of the late Georgia Legisla
ture :
Just one vote stood between the
Georgia legislature and an extra
session—one vote on the question
of accepting and agreeing to the
conference committee that had
been endeavoring for five or six
hours to secure some agreement be
tween the two houses upon the dis
agreements ever the general ap
propriation bill.
The military appropriation was
the bone of contention. The sen
ate was determined that the mili
tary should have the $21,000 which
had been added by the senate,
while the house was equally deter
mined that there should be npsuch
appropriation.
It was three minute* before mid
mgbt before a decision was reach
p d, and then bv the very narrow
margin of pun vote.
Messrs. Boyutou, Brown, of Pu
laski, Boyette, Wynne, Dempsey
and Gilreath were the heuse con
ferees. When they met with the
senators there were several pointe
of dissagrt ement, but It soon re
solved itself into a question
military or uo urlitary. And up to
11 o'clock it looked a* if there was
no chance of agreement.
The amate had named J 515,000
aa an ultimatum. Four of tue house
conferees, after standing Jout
gainst it as long as they could, fin
ally agreed with the senate The oth
ers Messrs. Dempsey.am | Gilreath
held out to the last, however, and
made a minority report.
THE REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE
HOUSE.
Ir whr twenty minutes before
the hour set for the expiration of
the legislature when Ctmirman
Boynton submitted its report It
was: That the sen de recede from
the appropriation of $1 959 to the
branch college at Milledgeville,
also from the S3OO expense# for
stats bunk examiner, and the $125
expenses of the hc«rd of visitors to
the North Georgia Agricuiturtl
CoPeg-'.
It was agreed that the $2,000
which the senate had added to the
appropriation for the school for
the deaf be made SI,OOO. Then the
committee reported that $15,000
f ould be given for 1805 and a like
sum for 1896 for the militia.
The minority report was aimed
at this and so was the discussion
which followed.
Mr. Boynton said the committee
had done everything in its power
and the only chance for the house
was to agree to the report.
Mr. Rockwell said ths military
boys would make up the other $5,-
000, Mr. Harrison thought any
thing in excess of $7,200 would be
illegal and said he proposed to
vote against agreeing to the report. >
Mr. Fleming said that the ques I
tion presented was simply whether
Mie house would grant this appro
priation or would force an extra
session and make itself the laugh
ing stock of the state. He urged
that the report be agreed to.
the vote ox the report.
The ayes and nays were cal led.
Tt was very close from the start
land great interest was manifested
jin the count. When it was found
that the report had been agreed to
there was great enthusiasm.
THE INSOLVENT TRADERS’ ACT.
The insolvent traders’ bill, in
troduced by Mr. Cumming, passed
the house yesterday.
The presene law allows three
creditors, without reference to
amount, to crush a merchant Ol
factory br receiver and injunction.
The senate bill makes it necessa
ry that creditors applying for re
ceiver must show that one-third of
the whole indebtedness is repre
sented in the petition.
Air Deolan proposed to make it
one-half.
Mr. Battle was opposed to both
the bill and the amendment.
Messrs. Jenkins, of Putnam,and
Pitman of Troup favored any leg
islation that make the receivership
law inoperative, but thougt that
the senate bill ought to pass with
out amendment, because if amend
ed the adjournment of the house
before the senate could concur in
and return the amendment would
leave merchants in their present
peril; whereas by accepting the
one-third proposition that much to
the interest of merchants in small
towns would be secured. The bill
passed without amendment.
L
TORN TO PIECES.
Grsat Destruction Wrought by the
Furious Storm No Lives Lost.
Forsyth, G i, December 13 —To-
day Forsyth presents a sad spec
tacle. Houses are unroofed, brick
walls dem dished trees uprooted
and fences swep? away .
A terrible cyck ne struck the
town yesterday morning at 3
o’clock and left some fearful
wreqksioits path. A heavy rain
had been fa ling nt intervals dur
ing the wb~>le night. Shortly after
midnight the storm began to rage
in all it* fury-
One of the first objects struck by
‘he cyclone here was the Methodist
Episcopal church, which stands
almost in the center of the town.
This was leveled to the ground in
a moment and splintered into
kindling wood. The church was a
large frame edifice with a very tall
steeple. Jt f *ll with a loud crash.
Some of the timbers were blown
against the doors of Proctor <fc
Huddleston’s store, 200 yards
away. The doors of this store were
crushed and the wind and rain
poured m upon a SBO,OOO stock of
goods. The wind forced its way
through the ceiling and roof, leav
ing a large hole for a skylight.
Th* corner of Bleodworth <fc
Child’s grocery store was torn off.
The front end of a largs two-story
livery stable owned by H J. Car
son was moved t#o aud a half
iucesjon its foundation.
The residence of the Misses
Proctor was partially unroofed and
and otherwise badly damaged.
Nearly all the awnings on the pub
lie buildings were torn away,Many
chimi eys were toppled over aud
ou’houses blown away.
Mr. George B, Thweatt’s resi
dence suffered the loss of one cor
ner and a piller was knocked from
underneath. His kitchen was also
blown down.
The new residence of Mrs. Lilly
Hill , which is not yet completed,
was aligbty injured.
Taure are jnauy other evidences
of last u'ght’a storm. The cyclone
came from the southwest and took
a northeast diiection. It was only
last year that Forsyth was visited
by a cyclone, but it only swept the
outskirts r»f the town, This time it
blew directly across the pub'ic
quare,
The storm played many strange
freaks; shinglesand pieces of plank
were driven into the sides of brick
and frame houses. Mr.C. M. Hooks,
who runs the Hooks jiotel, has re
covered th-* horns of his cow, but
the cow cannot be found. She was
blown off, too.
The heaviest individual losers
are Proctoa & Huddleston, whole
sale and retail dry goods and gro
cery merchants.
The demolition of the Methodist
church is a great loss to ths town .
It costs about $13,000, but can be
replaced for much less than that
amount. Fortunately no lives were
lost. The loss, financially, will
reach about $15,0'00. There was no
insurance on any of th.* properiy
against storms.
