o’clock Saturday afternoon, dark, roll
ing clouds were noticed approaching
from the southwest, and soon what ap
peared to be a howling storm threaten
ing the town, passed by without damage.

dwellings, barns, and other buildings
were demolished and contents scattered.
- A colored farmer, living five miles
from town, suffered most. His mother,

them back while at the same time he
told Slaughter to keep quiet. Suddenly

bed him to the heart. Bare fell dead

TO ATLANTA NEXT.
The Woman’s Suffrage Convention Will
Meet Down South Next Year.
Washington, Feb. 19.—The twenty
seventh annual convention of the Na
tional American Woman’s Suffrage as
sociation will be held in Atlanta, Geor
gia, in February, 1895.
The selection of that city is a surprise
to every one concerned, and to none
more than the Georgia delegates them
selves. Atlanta was selected by such a
tidal wave of enthusiasm as the Suffrage
association has not felt in voting since it
became the only national association in
existence. The leaders feel that they
have taken one of the most important
steps in their history.
That a fight would be made over the
place of the next convention was ex
pected, but no thought of Atlanta was
in the minds of any one For three
years Cincinnati had waged a war for
migratory conventions and had always
been a candidate for the first one. Miss
Anthony could be brought to consider
no place but the national capital, ac
. cording to tiie custom of 26 years.
■ This year Cincinnati came primed for
™ a fiirht. Kentucky had sent an endorse-
ment of the invitation of the'Twentieth
Century club, of Ohio, which had in
vited the association to meet in Cincin
nati, and the State Suffrage association of
Ohio had instructed its delegate to vote
as a unit for that city. Detroit had sent
an invitation, but if Cincinnati showed
more strength Detroit proposed to unite
with the Ohio delegation. New York
state proposed to vote for Washington.
Atlanta was argued for from the stand
point that it was the south at the present
time that controlled political things.
Mr. Blackwell, husband of the late Lucy
Stone, added more kindling to the fire,
and when Frederick Douglass spoke for
Georgia, declaring that there was a
time when he wouldn't dared to have
entered the city, but now he could, and
begged them to choose Atlanta, the feel
ing was white heat.
Attempts were made to change the
votes of certain states, as with three
candidates in the field it was necessary
to get 77 votes to win. The first ballot
was taken by roll call of states. Wash
ington came out with 27 votes, Cincin
nati had 59 and Atlanta had 69. Then
New York, as usual, moved into the
breach. Mrs. Blake arose and moved
for her state that the vote be unanimous
for Atlanta.
Wild handclapping followed. As the
motion was seconded, a western state
president called “I object.” Then Mich
igan laid her seven votes on the Atlanta
pile. Still was the number lacking.
The stately president of the New York
State Suffrage association. Mrs. Jean
Greenleaf, wife of ex-Congressman
Greenleaf, rose. Every one was silent.
New York had given Atlanta partof her
strength on the first ballot, but now
Mrs. Greenleaf said: “New York state
desires to record 20 votes for Atlanta.”
The convention (dapped and cheered.
The white sombreroed Miss Howard and
her married sister were surrounded at
once. Still the objection to a unani
mous vote stood and Miss Anthpny let it
stand. Other states changed their votes
in the confusion and enthusiasm ran
high.
CCEUR D’ALENE AGAIN.
The Trouble of Two Years Ago May Again
Break Out.
Spokane, Wash., Feb. 19.—The trou
ble between union men and the Italians
in the Cceur d’Alene country looks serious
and an outbreak is expected at any mo
ment. The leaders of the union forces
hold secret meeting every day, and the
only thing considered is how to get rid
of the 250 foreigners. That they must
leave the country has been decided on,
and if they will not heed the warnings
of the union men it is proposed to drive
them out.
All the arms and ammunition brought
into the country during the bloody riot
of two years ago are still in the posses
sion of the union men. and they say
they will probably be brought into use
within a few days if the mine owners
do not discharge ever “scab” and agree
to only employ in the future union men
or at least white labor. Some of the
Italians say they will stay and fight if
necessary, and they are in many cases
assured by the mine owners that they
will be protected. When the warning
is given the Italians to go. they will get
but one day’s notice, an lif they do not
move a battle will follow.

tween Two Sluggers.
New Haven, Feb. 19.—The most bru
tal prize fight that has taken place in

building.

and “Jack” Dillon, two well known
middle weight pugilists. The fight was
Witnessed almost entirely by Yale stu
dents, among them being sons of very
prominent New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and Chicago families.
The fight lasted for nearly two hours
and was a most horrible sight. Russell
was about two inches taller and weighed
fully 15 pounds more than his adversary.
The men fought with skin tight gloves,
and the contest was to a finish for a
purse. By the tenth round the floor of
the ring was literally covered with
blood.
Dillon was terribly punished, his
mouth was cut. and his, lips swollen to
three times their natural size, looked
like pieces of raw liver. His right eye

BUFFALO BILL
The Noted Plainsman Attacked
a New York Clubman.
OLD FEUD BETWEEN THEM-
Cody Hit His Man Square in the
Face, and a Lively Scrim
mage Took Place,
Washington,. Feb. 19.—Fred May,
the clubman and ex-New Yorker, and
Colonel (Buffalo Bill) Cody had just met
for the first time in six years in Cham
berlin’s, and a blow was struck by Cody
in settlement of an old quarrel. Various
accounts are given of the matter be
tween the giants, but all agree that May
was not the aggressor. Cody struck
May a powerful blow, and it is not likely
that May will allow the insult to go un
avenged. All sorts of rumors as to a
possible duel between the men are afloat,
but it is believed that their friends will
be able to keep the matter from coming
to such a serious pass.
May had been dining with Baltimore
friends, and, from all reports, had drank
freely of wine. After the party broke
up May strolled out into the putilic case
and sat down witli a friend to smoke a
cigar. Colonel Cody had been drinking
in another part of the room. On recog
nizing May, he left his party and walk' d
over toward him. The place was filled
with people at the time, but there was
nothing threatening in Colonel Cody’s
manner, and no one imagined that there
was any feeling between the men. No
harsh words were exchanged, and the
first intimation of trouble given was when
Colonel Cody said, as his fist shot out
and struck May in the face, “Take that,
you I”
In a second May bad kicked his chair
from him and had made a dive for the
long haired plainsman. Before he could
reach him half a dozen men jumped be
tween the two combatants, and after a
lively struggle, in which chairs and ta
bles were overturned, Cody and May
were separated. Smarting under the
blow. May made several attempts to re
lease himself from the grasp of his
friends, but they forced him into
another room. Cody, with much pro
fanity, threatened May with serious re
sults if he attacked him, and it is le
ported that during the melee he made a
suspicious move toward his hip pocket.
As Cody was led away May shouted
that he would settle with him later.
Although efforts were made to keep
the affair quiet, the story leaked out and
aroused much speculation as to the out
come. Both Cody and May are over six
feet tall and are broadshouldered, ath
letic men. But Cody has passed his
prime, and it is not believed that he
would be a match for May in a rough
and tumble fight. Cody is handy with
a gun, and May is also known to be
clever with firearms. While it is not
believed that there will be a bloody se
quel to the assault on May, it would
surprise no one if May took revenge in a
most forcible way.
Tlmfeud between the two men dates
back to 1887, when both men, it is said,
were paying attention in London to a
young actress who is now playing at a
Broadway theater. Cody and May had
hot words over the actress. Whether
they came to blows at that time is not
known. The meeting in Chamberlin’s
was the first since their trouble in Lon
don. May, since 1887, has been kept
busy extricating himself from more se
rious troubles, and it is said by some of
his friends that he had harbored no ill
will towards Cody.
