A Judge’s Opinion Twice Reversed— He was Right in Roth Instances — The Way the Matter Stands—Miss McClure Improving—A Negro Swin dler’s Game. Special to the Tribuxeof-Rome . Atlanta, February 27. —The Supreme court this morning decided a most inter esting case affecting the liability of churches. Litigation in the matter was begun in 1885, and the case is especially notable on account of the supreme court reversing its own decision. Some years ago the streets surround ing the First Methodist church were paved, and the question came up whether it should pay its proportion of the cost. The church authorities held that they should not be required to pay for the paving, and asked Judge Clarke to en join the city from collecting the amount charged against them. Judge Clarke refused to grant the in junction, giving as his reason that the church was liable for the payment of the city’s assessment. The case was finally carried to the supreme court, and after argument wai reversed, two of the judges, Blandford and Hall, holding that under the state constitution churches could not be taxed, and such an assessment was in the nature of a tax. A payment was made by some of the churches, under protest, for paving the streets around their buildings, the First Presbyterian church paying about S6OO. After the decision of Judge Clarke in the case of the First Methodist church was reversed, the First Presbyterian church entered suit against the city for the amount paid by that church. When the case went to the jury, Judge Clarke ordered a verdict rendered for the church, saying that it was his duty to abide by the decision of the higher court. The case was carried to the supreme court by Messrs. Goodwin and Anderson, the city’s attorneys. A unanimous decision from Judges Lumpkin, Simmons and Bleckley was handed down this morning. It re versed the decision of the lower court, and declared the liability of the churchy for street improvements. From this decision it is seen that Judge Clarke was reversed twice, although he had been right in both instances. Miss McClure Improving. Special to the Tribusk-ov-Rome. Atlanta, February 27. —The condi tion of Miss McClure, the young lady who was assaulted and cut by a negro the other night, is much improved. She is able to sit up today, although the wound is still very painful. It is thought that she will soon be able to get out again. There is still no clue as to the perpetrator of the deed, but .the police are hard at work. A Negro Swindler. Special to the Tribune-of-Rome. Atlanta, February 27.—The negroes from Gwinnett county told the police today of the queer doings of a slick negro. This darky’s name is L. R. Far mer, and he said that he represented the United Brotherhood. The great feature of this order was that the members could have the privilege of borrowing cer tain sums after the payment of a cer tain amount in fees. Farmer was very successful, and went away from the neighborhood with about $225 of the “fees” for the “Brotherhood.” He soon came back, and gather’d in SBO more. He bosrded in the family of a negro man, whose money he borrowed. He jumped his board bill, and left the country with the second haul. He said that if two of the negroes would meet him in Atlanta he would not only pay his board but fix up the other matter. The two negroes came to Atlanta to keep the appoint ment, but Farmer failod to show up. FOUND AT LAST. Two Negro Women Have Found a Way to Straighten Kinks. Special to the Tribane-of-Rome. Atlanta, Ga., February 27. —The At lanta negroes are much worked up over the arrival of two negro women from Cleveland, 0., who claim to have discov ered a recipe for taking out the kinks from wooly heads. Their charges are from $1 to $4, and they are making a pile of money off their credulous brethren and sisters. Theyi claim to have learned the secret in Cleve land, and deny that they are working for money. But the abive mentioned prices have been paid by darkies who have had their wool carded. A Vermont Landslide. Special to the Tribue-of-Rome. Barre, Vt., February 27. —A big land slide occurred here yesterday on the land occupied by the Goddard seminary. Im mense bowlders, trees and earth swept down upon the dwellings built about the seminary. Many houses were damaged. People living at a distance of ten miles heaid the noise and felt the trembling of the earth. THE TRIBUNE-OF-ROME. SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 28, 1891. FOR THE NORTH POLE. Another Expedition to Be Organized for Exploring the Northern Seas. Special to the Tribunb-of Rome New York, February 27. —A Herald’s special from Washington says: A new polar expedition will be under-1 taken hy Civil Engineer Robert E. Peary, I of the United States navy, who yesterday I secured a leave of absence for eighteen I months with this object in view. Mr. Peary proposes to set out on his I expedition from St. John’s, N. F., about! the first of next May. His idea is to go as far north as the whaling steamer will carry him, and then strike lor the north pole on foot across Greenland. He intends to have only a small party so that he can be conducted with absolute safety. Possibly the party will be composed of not mo’e than four natives and bzggage and other impediments will be reduced to the lowest scale also. The expedition, which has been planned and arranged by Lieutenant Peary, is a purely private enterprise, in which the United States government or navy depart ment has no part. If is understood that whatever backing Lieutenant Peary will need in order to carry out his scheme will be contributed by some of the geographical societies bf the country. Personally, Lieutenant Pearv is a robust, hearty young man of 35 years or thereabouts, and he is, physically, well equipped for the ordeal before him. He hails from Maine, and is at present on duty at the Philadelphia navy yard. CLASS TREE OF NINETY-ONE. Interesting Exercises Held By the Students of Emory College. Special to the Tribune-of-Rome. Covington, Ga., February 27.—The boys of Emory college were given a holiday today at i o’clock, for the pur pose of attending the exercises attendant upon the planting of the class tree of 1891. After the tree was planted the many peo ple present, who came from all parts of the state, adjourned to the large church, which is situated near the campus, where the exercises of the day were continued. An address in behalf of the college faculty was delivered by Prof. L. H. Harris. Beside the college students there were present citizens from in and around Oxford, and a delegation from Mercer university. In the past it has been customary to hold the annual class tree exercises in the college chapel, but owing to the in terest manifested upon this was decided to hold th|p exercises B the large church, Th order that the peo-' pie may have plenty of room. Carlisle for President. Special to the Tribune-of-Rome. Washington, February 27.—News comes from Boston that Senator Carlisle is fixing his fences for the democratic presidential nomination in ’92. It is said that Mr. Carlisle has informed his inti mate friends that he will go before the convention with the expectation of seem ing the nomination. Politicians say that one of the indications of Carlisle’s ambi tion is said to be his recent stand on the silver question. The democrats on the house coinage committee claim to have received from him on different occasions conflicting reports as to what direction he desired them to pursue in regard to the Vest coinage bill. The Beginning of the End. Special to the Tribune-of-Rome. Washington, February 27. —The Sen ate is making strenuous efforts to get through with its business so as to avoid an extra session. The shipping bill stands but a poor chance of getting through the senate this session, yet the house was working away at it this morning. The rumor which was telegraphed over the country yesterday about a republican scheme to rush the force bill through the house at the last minute, upon inves tigation proved to have no fonndatiou. The Nicaragua Bill Abandoned. Special the toTribune-of-Rome. Washington, February 27. —In the senate this morning the president’s mes sage vetoing the bill to establish the pen sion and record office was submitted and referred. Mr. Sherman said that he was author ized by the committee on foreign affairs to state that owing to the situation of public business the Nicaragua canal bill would not be pressed any further this time. After a number of bills were passed the senate resumed consideration of the leg ’slative bill. The Czar’s Banquet. Special to the Tribune-of-Rome. Washington, D. C., February 27 Speaker Reed is getting jovial and gener ous as the session is closing. He gave an elegant dinner at Chamberlain’s last night to sixteen of his congressional friends and their wives. The reports about Senator Hearst’s dangerous illness are unfounded. The senator ate a hearty breakfast this morning, and the physi cians have hopes of his recovery. The California Floods. Special to The Tribune-of-Rome, San Diego, Cal., February 27.—The flood at Tia Juana has caused several deaths. There is not a building loft standing. No communication has been held with the Mexican side, and the loss of life cannot be estimated. a■»! A Splendid Opportunity to MH Company Asks—Mr. Fisher Appears Before the Board of Trade—A Com mittee to Confer With Him. Another enterprise is at the gates of Rome, actually demanding entrance. It is the Church Cart Manufacturing company of St. Paul, Minn. It will be remembered that some time since Mr. W. R. Church, of this com pany,was in R >me looking into this mat ter and The Tribune only a few weeks ago published some letters from him touching on the removal of this big plant to Georgia. Mr. J. H. Allen, the real estate man, had talked over this matter with Mr. Church, when that gentleman was here and corresponded with him after h s de parture from Rome, and the following is an extract from one of Mr. Church’s let ters, dated January 28—: “ * * * • ” My report to our company after returning home was taken witli so much favor that our secretary anil treasurer has decided to go south and look over the various points for himself. * * * * You must remember that to go south * * * * we would do it for our benefit and not for the benefit of any one else, any land company or town; * • * * there are other towns aside from Rome that are offering very liberal induce ments. * * * * At the annual meeting of the board of directors of our company it was decided to go to Georgia, but no town in particular was decided up on definitely, but the one offering the best natural advantages and inducements.” “The writer was favorably impressed with Rome and equally so with Macon, with a fair impression of Augusta, and we are in possession of letters from other points in Georgia and Alabama making liberal of fers. We will be in a position to go to Geor gia with a paid up capital stock of $75,000 or $100,000; tire plant any place we may locate in, to place any stock with us. through your influence in your city you are in a position to offer us as liberal induce ments as other towns to secure such a fac tory, viz: as to location and bonus, we will *e prepared to listen to it.” •> This fully what the Ca Plafrhrriie wnlHie asked to do in order to have the plant located here. In accordance with this letter Mr. A. W. Fisher, the secretary and treasurer of thejeompany, came south and has since then been located in Macon in the inter ests of his house. He has visited At lanta, Augusta, Fort Valley and other points looking for a location, and also came to Rome sometime ago, but at that time he found Mr. Allen sick and so re turned to Macon without saying anything about the subject of his visit. He has, however, continued to corre spond with Mr. Allen on the subject and yesterday arrived in Rome again. Mr. Allen took him in charge and showed him as much of the city as possible in the short time Mr. Fisher has been here, and yesterday introduced him at the Board of Trade, where he explained the object of his visit. The Board has appointed Messrs. J. H. Allen, J. C. Puintup and J. King a com mittee to confer with Mr. Fisher, and they will endeavor to place Rome’s many advantages before him In a proper manner. Mr. Fisher said last night to a Tri bune reporter that so far as he bad seen, Rome was as a location for the plant, as much so as any place he had visited. Today the committee will take Mr. Fisher in hand and it is to be hoped that the result will be the coming of the Church Cart Manufacturing plant to Rome. - ■ • IN BIRMINGHAM. The Dentil of Mr. Walter Franks in the Magic City. Mrs. Franks received a telegram yes terday announcing the death of her son Walter, in Birmingham. No particulars were given of his death. Mr. C. F.

Washington, February 27. —It is stated on pretty good authority that the United States treasurer has resigned, and that the position will be tendered to J, A. Lemcke, of Evansville, Ind. THE Y. M. C. A. Prominent Association Men Coming to . Rome’s Assistance. The following from the Brunswick Timeswill be read with pleasure by those itterested in the Young Men’s Christian association and its word. “Hon. Henry Hillyer, chairman of the state executive committee, who is a prominent and very influential lawyer of Atlanta, left in company with Mr. W. Woods White, who is the general St van nah agent for the Northwestern Mutua Life Insui ance company, for Rome, where bey go to assist the Rome Young Men’s Christian association in their work for a few days. “These two gentlemen are two of At lanta's wealthiest business men and they for a long time have b ien intimately as sociated with the Young Men’s Christian association of Georgia. “They recognize the Young Men's Christian association as a good business investment, and are always trying to benefit young men in this way.” AROUND AND ABOUT. Here’s something for the Board of Trade. » » • I overheard a conversation at-the din ner table yesterday between two gentle men, which concerned a city in Nebiaska known as Lincoln. • • • One of these gentlemen had visited Lincoln years ago and his memory of it called to mind a struggling, scattered western town without much of a present and very little promise of a future. • • • The other gentleman must have “struck the town” about the time the first sought another home, and as he comes direct from there he delights to tell of Lincoln’s rapid and substantial growth. • » * These two men interested every one who could hear them, as they spoke of Lincoln, and the two sides of the matter —the past and the present condition of the town —were so strongly contrasted that one could not resist asking the name of the phenomenal town. « * * One of the men recollected only a few frame buildings and fewer brick ones— the other told of magnificent blocks of iron and stone front business houses and streets full of palatial and comfortable homes. One spoke of “the grocery” and “the blacksmith shop”—the other told of prosperous wholesale houses and numer ous manufacturing enterprises. « • * One of the remembered one -rail road and miserable streets —the other told of railroad after railroad that enters the town, and incidentally mentioned,the well graded and cleanly streets. One spoke of incompetent city officials and the poverty stricken city treasury—the other told of a prosperous, capable city government and overflowing coffers. « » * Altogether the contrast between the past and the present of Lincoln made a pretty and interesting story that absorbed the attention of those who listened to the conversation. Finally some one asked the Man of the Present what had caused such a remarkable change and such evident prosperity. » * » “We have such an excellent Board of Trade,” was his reply. » » * That reply told the story of progress in a more complete manner than if be had talked half an hour! * • * Verbum sap—let Rome’s Board of Trade press the button, the Future will do the rest? * * * Ido not wish to make this column imitative of any other writer, but I would like to ask, for the benefit of ladies and children, why the driving of mules through the streets during the day cannot be stopped. • * « It will be forever too late to talk about doing it after some man’s wife or child is trampled to death or seriously injured on Rome’s business thoroughfares: » * * Some councilman can earn the good will and gratitude of many a mother by taking a firm stand on this subject and fighting for an ordinance doing away with this dangerous nuisance. If the mules are to be driven through the streets of Rome let it be done at night when the ladies and little ones are safe out of harm’s way. » « * The encampment has not yet been set tled upon, but every body in Rome is hopeful that Rome is to be the place. There’s no doubt of the fact that Rome, so far as has been learned, has made the best bid for the encampment. • » ♦ Well, an old proverb says “all things come to him who waits.” » • » As we can’t do anything else, let's wait!

Katie Putnam Next Tuesday Night in “ ‘Love Finds a Way tSeats for Katie Putnam in “Love Finds a Way,” next Tuesday night, are selling rapidiy and there is every evidence that Katie will have a full house on that occa sion. The following clippings are reproduced so as to give an idea how Miss Putnam’s new play has been received: In “Love Finds a Way,” Miss Putnam, always clever, is seen at her best.—New York Herald. A strong play, a good company and a charming star, sums up the performance of “Love Finds a Way,” at the Opera house last night.—Philadelphia Ledger. “Love Finds a Way” is one of the most satisfactory performances seen in this city in a long while. More pretentious companies have given less popular satis faction. —Omaha Bee. A crowded audience, a popular star and an excellent company, combined to make the performance of “Love Finds a Way,” a most enjoyable one.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Miss Katie Putnam’s manager has not only provided his star with a very taking play t but he has surrounded her with an evenly balanced and experienced com pany. —Toledo Blade. The specialties introduced in “Love Finds a Way,” caught on in great shape, particularly Miss Putnam’s banjo solo and the topical song, “That’s the Latest.” —Sandusky (O.) Register.
