A BIG SCHEME AT ROME.

A Company to Supply Industries
With Horse Power by the Year.
ROME, GA, March 5.-Several weeks ago
a company composed of capitalists of this
place and other places outside of this state
applied to the superior court of Floyd
county for charter The style of the cor
poration is the Georgia Power Company.
Its object is the generating of electricity for
the purpose of supplanting steam as a mo-
tive power in the city of Rome The char
ter was granted, and work will soon begin.
birmingham, 1.-THE magic city" will be no
where If this proposed achievement is put
into successful operation. On one of Rome's
swlft-howing rivers it is proposed to erect
an immense dam, and by water power to
generate the electricity. The rivers have a
fall of thirty feet, and this Is sufficient to
generate motive power of 5000 horse power.
This power is then to be used in the differ
ent manufactures by means of cables. The
company will rent per annum rights to use
the power at stipulated terms. 1t is much
less expensive than steam. The scheme is
entirely practicable, and under the super
vision OF Capt. F. c. Hand, an expert cleo
trlcal engineer, backed 10y ample capital, it
will be put into operation at an early date.
The present power now in operation in
Rome is not over 1000 horse power, and
the new enterprise will furnish 5000. The
prospect that Rome will become a great
manufacturing city is fiattering

CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
Tho Central Roads Petition for Special
Fertilizer kates Granted.

ATLANTA, March 5.-Delegaiions from
Savannah and Albany recently appeared
before the railroad commission to urge the
granting Of the petition Of the Central rail-
road, which desired the privilege of hauling
fertilizers, cotton and other freight between
Savannah and Albany at the rate charged
by the Short Line, without reducing the
rate to intermediate stations. The privi-
lege was then temporarily granted. but the
final result of the case is one Of importance
to the whole state. 1t has been determined
TO so modify paragraph two of freight rule
six as TO give places between which two OF
more lines are operated the bene-
fit of railroad competition. no matter
whether the lines are all within
the jurisdiction of the state commission or
not. The change issespecially noteworthy,
since 1t furnishes e broader field for com
petitlve freight r ties than has ever existed
since the organization of the commission
The amended paragraph now reads: "But
when there are between any two points of
this state two or more competing roads, not
under the same management nor in the same
system, then the longer line or lines. in order
to give said points the benefit of compe-
titlon, may reduce the rates between said
two points below the standard tariff, with
out making a corresponding reduction at
all stations along the lines of said roads;
PROVIDED, said reduction shall not make the
rates less than the standard tariff rates for
the shortest line between said points; pro-
vided, further. that before taking effect,
the proposed change Of rates shall be sub
mitted to and approved by the commits
sion"
CHAMBERS IN CRAWFORD.
There is considerable excitement in Craw-
ford county over the prevalence of CHAMBERS
among horses. Commissioner Henderson
last night sent a veterinary surgeon to look
into the matter, and to-day he received a
telegram stating that the horses continued
dying. The surgeon has not yet had time
TO report. The governor intends urging on
the next general assembly the pass
age of an act recommending the
killing and burying of diseased stock
promptly after it is ascertained that they
are affected with CHAMBERS. The last legis-
lature had such bill before it, but failed
to act upon it.

the governor demurred on the ground that
such action would be unlawful, and he
could not afford to compromise himself in
that way. Hence the inevitable exposure.

ASTOR's ONLY SALE.
HosV William B. Obtained a Big Hotel
for ST..

for ST..
From the NetU York Euenir0 Telegram.
One of the most stringent real estate rules
of the Astor family is to 'never sell" and
only one sale is recorded in the entire life of
old John Jacob the first. In 1880 he tore
down his house on Broadway, cleared the
whole block from Vesey to Barclay streets
and built the huge gray Quincy granite
hotel that to this day holds the name of the
Aston house, one of the most notable land
marks in the city, and also one of toe best
paying pieces of property.
A few days after it was finished the old
gentleman and his eldest son, William,
were walking through the City Hall Park
where the postoffice now stands and topped
a moment to admire the building-the finest
hotel in America at that time.
"Pop, that's mighty fine building" said
William, 81 wish to gracious it was mine. ="
''So?n answered his father. "Well, Billy,
give me dollar and you can have it."
Out came the dollar-a big silver dollar
that is cherished by the family to-day as
the dollar of our daddies, ard within an
hour the deed of the property was made
out and recorded.
This was old Mr.. Astor's only sale of real
estate in his life.

The bonneville Murder Trial Ends In
Conviction.
BONNEVILLE, GA, March 5.-The trial
of the Hughes murderers was resumed this
morning, and the court house was packed
all day. The case of the prisoners was ably
and ingeniously managed by three counsel,
but the evidence off cred by the state was
conclusive, and left no room for doubt of
guilt The defendants themselves in max
ing their statements, told a most blood
curding narrative of the henious assassina-
ton; how Robert Saxton, who has since
been shot and killed while resisting arrest,
came to them, stating that a certain white
man had agreed to pay him 1856 TO shoot
his cousin, Orrin Register, a highly re-
spected citizen of this county, and induced
them to go with him and do the murder !;
they Travelled on, and, coming to the plan
tation of Mr.. Hughes, Saxton proposed to
murder the old people and rob the house, as
he knew they had some money.
SLAIN WITH AN AK.
All consented, and upon the pretense of
desiring to buy lunch came into the yard
and with an ak literally beat out the brains
of the deceased and then plundered the
house and made their escape, after having
divided up the money and plumber. During
the trial each was proven to have
made at the time of their
arrest free and voluntary confessions
of their guilt. The jury after being out
only a short time returned a verdict of
guilty as to both.the defendants, and Judge
Atkinson, after admonishing the sheriff to
provide good and sufficient guards to pro-
tect the prisoners, announced that the
death penalty would be passed at the open
ing Of the court to morrow. Tomorrow the
case of the state against d. F. McDuffie,
who is charged with the murder of Kirk
land, will be taken up.
