Only a Feather pillow and Some Papers left to Creditors- Bismuth Miller, the ex-fire-eater i of our morning neighbor; the 1 stranger who had the free use of that papers editorial page when it . wanted some ouv to malign The • Hustler of Rome, has departed those coasts leaving a trunk full of old papers and an old feather pillow, as a ri h legacy to his land lord and his boniface. It seems that Miller owed real estate agent Funkhouser forrents, for a bedroom in the Masonic Temple annex, and that ho owed Wilkie’s restaurant for board. He informed these people that he was going away for a short time but that he would leave his trunk and cloths in his room until he could liquidate his areas. Days passed and the trusting creditors began to distrust, and then Boniface Wilkie put papers in the hands of constable McLeod. The officer went to the real estate man for the key to the room and there found the rent account. An agreement of the creditors was reached each agreeing to take a share in the illustrieus editors wardrobe—Bailiff McLeod to have the vests. Under this new alliance of inter ests Beiliff McLeod and collector Harvey, armed to the conscie rice with legal conveyances, marshaled their forces and marched upon the scene of hidded treasure. The charge was successful, and as they swarmed into the captured fortress and forced the dollar and a half zinc trunk to yield up its contents they dreamed of fine rai ment and famous apparral. On* old feather pillow and a’lot of old news papers was all the trunk contained. “Clever wernt he?” querried the Officer. ‘‘Why and how so?” asked the collector. boys half way,” replie 1 the officer, ‘he had the feathers ready in ease, the natives feeched the tar along.” The whole outfit will doubtless be put in the hands of a receiver.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME ROME GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING MAY 7 1895 REMARKABLE To Say the Least of It is This Meeting of Dr. Schwing And- HIS UNFAITHFUL WIFE In the New Orleans' Prison. Fresh From the Armsofa Dead Paramour She Wanted to Share the Husband's Cell. Orleans, Ln. May 7.—Dr. S.P. Schwing, who killed Dr. Emile Hiriat yesterday, was brought be fore Judge Whitaker, of the first recorder’s court, this morning charged with murder, to which charge he pleaded not guilty. His counsel asked for and early trial and it was fixed for next Saturday, May 11th. Judge Whitaker would not accept bail. The prisoner is a man with many friends, as was evidenced this morning by the groups of men who called on him. Full particu lars of the tragedy reached Pa'que minl, the home of the principals, in 1 trains reaching here last night and this morning bore many friends of Schwing. Theystate that the little city is greatly excited over the affair and that public sympathy is with the prisoner. Schwing’s friends say that they will allow nothing to I e undone to get the accused released from prison in due time. Their first act was to call on the prisoner and approve his course and to offer as sistance. From some of the Plaquemine people it was learned that when Dr. Schwing’s eves were thorough ly opened at his wife’s infidelity when Dr. Hiriat he accused her of being unfaithful and left her and went to live with his mother. The same day Mrs. Schwing attempted to commit suicide by jumping into a well at her home, but her '’-'-«ss caguht on a nan «•>»- A reconciliation followed and nothing more was heard of the mat ter until the husband and Dr. Hi riat met on March 22d. It is said that Schwing waylaid Dr Hiriat and fired at him three times with a shot-gun. He also fired a num ber of times at Hiriat with a pistol. The latter returned the fire. From that time the men avoided each other and did not meet until yesterday, when the tragedy was enacted/ Yesterday, after Mrs. Schwing’s arrival at + he police sta tion, she requested to be allowed to see her husband and their meeting was cordial and bordered on the affectionate. They wanted to spend the night together in the cell, bu Sergent Boyle would not concent. The woman was very cool all during the evening and did not seem to realize that it was she who had caused the death of Hiraiat and the incarceration of her hus band on a charge of murder. She admitted that her husband had done the right thing in killing 1 1 It Vs said that Hiriat was greatly feared by some of the people of ■ Plaquemine.

Kjf 1 MADE FROM ABSOLUTELY PURE “MARTHA” At Nevin’s Ooera House Tonight Come out By far the best opera company had in Rome in many and many a day was the Andrews Opera Com pany at Nevin’s last night. Every character was sustained in an unusu ally clear manner and the closing of the eondactof “La Diavolo’ ’ beggers discription. Mr. Taylor has a voice of exer tional sweetness and Mr. George Andrews was an ideal“La Diavolo” Miss Morelia was the bight and particular star of the evening. Mr Ed Andrews and Mr. Clayton could not have been better in their parts. In fact the company is excellent in every detail. It is doubtful if there was a sin gle person in the audience (hat was not completely carried away. The Andrews Opera Company can’always fill the house in Rome. Tonight the bill is “Martha.”To hear Miss Morellasing “The Last Rose or Summer” will be worth the price of admission alone. Martha is the opera on which the fame of Flotow, the great compo ser, rests. The story.tells how a la dy of the Court of Queen Anne, accompanied* by a maid, attends Richmond Fair disguised as peas ants. Byway of a joke the lady and maid, signed a contract to act as serving girls to farmers act know ing that such contraicts cannot be abrogated. They escape, but are recognized by the farmers, while dressed in their court robes. Much amusing comedy results from the situation.
