RoME's EXPOSITION.
Exhibits and Visitors Pouring in from
Every Part of the Country

Exhibits and Visitors Pouring in from
Every Part of the Country.
ROME, GA, Oct. 4.-Tho North Georgia
and Alabama mineral industrial exposition,
opened at Rome in the face of tho wild and
senseless quarantine panic in the south, has
scored an unprecedented success. The huge
buildings are packed with exhibits, which
still come so fast that additional space must
be provided The postponement of all
other exhibitions in the south has
served 20 concentrate here the finest
collection of racing, trotting and sal
die horses ever witnessed in the south.
Tho mineral and agricultural exhibits have
never been surpassed anywhere. The crowd
in attendance increases every day. There
were 10000 people ON the grounds this after
noon.
GOV. GORDONs SPEECH.
Gov. Gordon formally opened the exposi-
ton in notable speech, in the course of
which he presented some remarkable sta
tistics of the rel ative health of the northern
and southern states. Taking eight south
ern states bordering on the gulf and At
lantic, and comparing them state by state
with eight northern states north of the
Potomac and along the Atlantic, he showed
from the vital statistics of the government
that the general average Of the deaths in
the northern states were 49, 81 per thousand
and in the southern states only 1437 per
thousand and that the official death rate,
both among the white and black popula-
tion was smaller In the south than In the
north. These facts created quite sensa-
ton. The exposition runs until Oct. 13.

second shot was fired by the murderers.
The attempt was to release Bill Cogborn
and to kill US all. At the funeral, after
the inquest, the Rev. Mr.. Bayless spoke
firmly in dcnunciation OF outlawry, and
brought tears TO the eyes OF everybody
there.
Every day while we were there the dy-
Mantle BOMBS were fred in the morning

down there, but they are afraid to convict

county gang was reinforced Immediately
by the Pike county gang, and we came
back to st. Louis, being unable TO cope
with 80 large number. The government
or the State ought TO back rs up with
troops. Mrs. Ingram said her husband
had served eighteen months in the peni-
tentiary in Georgia; that John Davis es-
capped from Georgia and is wanted back
there for crime; that her three brothers
were in the penitcntiary, one OF them
dying there, and that her mother had been
tried for murder. There are stills all over
Montgomery county. There were five
men in the gang that killed Trammell, and
all are known"

Moore, who ran away with Mrs. Norton,
dated Kansas City, and signed Henry W..
Mason, asking him TO forward a certain

saws that Mrs. Norton was also arrested,
but Mr.. Norton refused to make "a charge
against her or to have a warrant issued for

opera-house, with the roof and a part Of
the third story walls, went down. The
walls fell outward, one part crushing a
small wooden building adjoining the OPP
era-house. No one was injured by this
second collapse. The beautiful opera
house now looks dsmantled and deserted.
The building is owned by Henry w. Myer,
OF Camden, Ark. The architects say the
floor was broken down by a pile Of about
fifteen tons of beans in sacks owned by a
wholesale grocer. The building cost about
$50, 900 and will probably be total loss.

An Adventure with a Wild Cat.
From, the Grfeia (Ga.) Ners


A gentleman from Upson county, who
was in the city yesterday, relates thrilling
experience between a Mr.. Matthews, who
HIVES Rear Pine Mountain, and a flarge wild
cat. Mr.. Matthews had been out to visit
one of his neighbors and had remained uncfl
after supper with the family. After enjoy
ing a social chat with them, he saddled his
horse and started on his return home. His
road led him over the mountain Having
traversed the same route many time
without encountering auy danger, he
was unprepared for the peril that
that menaced him. He was riding along
at a rather slow pace, absorbed in thought,
when he passed a thick clump of trees aud
bushes that stood near the roadside Sud
denly he heard loud crashing in the
bushes aud a large animal of the cat species
bounded upon the launches of his horse
with fierce scream, which so frightened
the animal that he gave leap forward and
came near hurting his rider over his head
and at the same time causing the cat to lose
its hold and fall to the ground. 1t was
such surprise to Mr.. Matthews that he
lost all presence of mind ana forgetting
that he had his gun with him, let the cat
escape without getting shot at it. Being
a bright moon shiny" night he got good
look at the cat and thought it was
panther. Squirting his horse he fastened
pASt'tA W lCbhi II
and track the animal to its lair, presuming
that it must have had its young with it,
which caused it to be so feroclouS. Having
pair of large fox hounds, he took che n
with him to neighbours house and pre-
vailed upon him to accompany HIM
upon his hunt. Securing a few other
dogs, they started out in search of
the animal Arriving at the spot
where he had recently had his adventures
with the cat, Mr. Matthews called the dogs
and put them upon the track. They soon
struck out at headlong speed across the
mountain, and it was not long ere they bad
the animal at bay. The gentlemen soon
found them, and standing with a bold front
to the dogs was the boldest wild cat they
had ever seen. In the rear of the mother,
as they had expected to see, were two large
half-grown kittens. These they proceeded
to make Short work of with their guns. The
mother was turned over to the dogs and
after hard fight she was killed, the
hunters assisting the dogs with the butt end
of their guns. She weighed ninety pounds
and measured about 6 feet. 1t was indeed
an exciting cat hunt.

American Critics on Bret Harte.

E. C. STEDMAN, the Poet and Essayist,
speaks of him as "a rare genius, whose work
must be counted among the treasures of the
language"
The late f. P. WHIPPLE the famous Boston
critic: Bret Harte has great sharpness of
merely external observation; he has, also great
depth of moral insight He interprets rude
populations, which he at the same time CON
dennis He touches that vital virtue in their
Utmost souls which will, in the end, regenerate
their coarse natures He may be tolerant of
their he citing sins, but his liberation is of that
sort which tends to lift rather than to justify
them. In short, he is thoroughly christian in
the sentiment which directs equally his humor
and pathcs, though he is artiStcally careful to
conceal his end in his means, and to teach
morality while seeming to dispense with it,"
NJ. w HAZELTINE, the Literary Critic of
the New York sun: Few writer's of our own
or any recent generation vie with Bret
Harte in the mastery of our smiles and tears -
WARREN CHI ENEY in the Overland Montlliu:
Had Dickens lived in California, his impress
siOns would have given us stories of the same
spirit as Mr.. Harte's So far aS he has given
his art to the production and delineation of
California life, his work has all the stamp of
originality and genius"
His work has appeared in prominent journals
of all countries.
Macmi tans Magazine and the London Illus
tr1ted NetCS in England.
Revue de deur Mondes, the great literary
magazine OF France.
DeutSche RundSchGu. the leading monthly of
Germany.
