MOSES WRIGHT
GETS JUDCESH|P
Governor Brown Tenders For
mer Jurist Appointment to
Rome Circuit Bench.

Governor Joseph NJ Brown this aft
ernoon rendered the judgeship of the
Rome superior court circuit to former
Judge Moses Wright of Rome.
Judge Wright was utterly surprised
by the tender, and has not yet signifted
either his acceptance or rejection of the
high honor the governor desires to con-
fer upon him.
He has taken the matter under Sc
, rious advisement, however. and will
make known his decision within very
few days. He is more or less embar-
rassed in a way, by the appointment,
and asked the governor that he be given
few days in which to consider the
same. The executive told him the
tender held until Monday.
The tender of the Rome judgeship to
Judge Wright came as a bolt from the
blue today. The contest was thought
to be confined to r. A. Denny and G.
r. HutChens, both of Rome, and Wesley
| Shropshire, Of Summerville Judge
Wright IS Colonel Denny's law partner,
and has been actively advocating the
appointment of his associate.
Problem For Governor.
The governor. after days of consider
alton, could not bring his mind to a de-
| termination to appoint any one Of the
three applicants for the position All
have their strong friends, and petitions.
letters, kilograms and personal appeals
nave been pretty evenly divided
The governor has had in mind, it
! seems. however the appointment of
Judge Wright for several days The
former Judge has a splendid record on
the Rome circuit, and gave very great
! satisfaction to the bar when he pre-
sided before. He will be. there can be
little doubt, most acceptable to the bar
again.
Judge Wright Is a former member Of
the legislature. and was twice solicitor
general OF the Rome circuit He is very
close to the governor politically. having
supported him actively in an Of his
campaigns, stumping the state elo-
Quently and effectively for the gov
| crnor on numerous occasions. He is a
brother of Hon Seaborn Wright. but
the two seldom have agreed politically.
Judge Wright is son of the late Judge
Augustus f, Wright, once judge of the
Rome circuit, and member of the Con-
federate States congress.
Effective February I.
In the event Judge Wright accepts
the appointment, and the impression is
that he will. he will go onto the bench
on February l, for an unexpired term
Of two years.
Governor Brown has been very much
concerned with this appointment. The
Rome circuit is one OF the most impor-
tant in the state. and the governor de-
sired TO pick the very best judgeship
material at hand for the assignment.
! The three applicants are all his warm
| friends, and he was reluctant to choose
| between them. In addition to that.
Judge Wrights eminent fitness for the
place appealed to the governor strongly.

Collision Holds Train
Up Three Hours.

The collision occasioned a delay of
about three hours, at the end of which
the flyer resumed its Journey The OPP
Grafton of trains today is affected but
slightly by the trouble of last night.
The passenger train was three hours
behind time and was running at a high
rate of speed at the time the accident
occurred. The conductor and engineer
of the switch engine understood that
the passenger was not due for some
time and were in the act of showing a
string of empty cars out of the switch
track of the Marietta Fertilizer Com
panN. Three of the cars had been
showed onto the main line at the east
ern end of the fertilizer works when the
passenger rounded the curve and
plowed its way through. The momen-
tum Of the passenger was 80 great that
the three box cars were carried a dis
lance of zoe feet before they left the
track taking the passenger mogul and
its tender with them.
The spot where the collision occurred
is on the sharpost point of the curve
and both engine and cars overturned on
the inside of the curve, the engine and
tender sliding over 40 feet after being
overturned
Engineer Harris and Fireman Jones
remained at their posts until the en-
sine had come to a complete stop and.
with the exception of few bruises.
We're not injured. although the cab ana
flooring of the engine was torn and
twisted into jumbled mass. The
mail car behind the engine. was not
damaged. and only the front wheels
left the track
one of the box cars was completely
demolished, the top being hurled 50 feet
away from the track, while the sides
and flooring were ground into kindling
wood The other two cars were badly
damaged and will be destroyed after the
iron work has been removed.

A survey Of the fashions in wom-

changes have followed the seasons
with startling rapidity. The sleeves

Each season has kept uD the warfare

became so narrow that walking was a
physical impossib lity. Nothing daunt-

more material from the width, but
slit the skirt at the sides. thereby
permitting a shuffffling gait that re-
sembles locomotion.
Nor has the width of the dress been
the only dimension to display such
eccentricities: we have worn dresses
that trailed in the dust and come

NiG0W May ncar rr0ise
Of Old Leader

The viewing OF picture Of Gen
eral Custer, by John Butcher, Will
Dean, Snow Bird and Red Bear, all
Rec Indians in the Historical Society
rooms, was the means of bringing
forth the request that the Indians be
allowed to sing a song they called,
I'VE Are Lonely For Custer" SO that
it could be recorded on phonograph
records and preserved by the society.
The prelude ito the song was made by
Red Bear and two records made, and
one sent to Mrs. Custer at New York,
by rQust of tn Indians.
TIL Rec Indians assisted General
Custer in his campaigns and the visit
of the warriors to the Historical
rooms during their encampment here
was for the purpose of viewing pic
ture recently sent the society oy MI s.
Custer. Sadness showed on the face
OF the Indians as they gazed for sew
eral minutes on the face Of their for
mer leader and, through Mrs. Red
Bear, they expressed themselves as
extremely sad to see the face Of thier
old commander again.
During long conference with Mr..
Fish, who showed them the picture,
they requested that they be allowed
to sing into the phonograph' song
that they had not sung since the fatal
day Of June Is, 1876. Special arrange
ments were made for the taking OF
the records and one has been sent to
Mrs, Custer with the compliments of
the Indians. The Historical society
will preserve the other.
