REV. SAM. SMALL.
HE 16 CHARGED WITH OBTAINING
MONEY ON FALSE PRETENSES.
A Boiton Special to the Now York Ban Say.
' Mr. Small Ha. llaon Arreted In That City
on a Charga Mad* by an Eptnopal Cler-
aypiah—Newi Received In Atlanta.
New York, pc't. 1D.—Tl7e' San Has
Boston special announcing the arrest of
;ltev. Sant Small in tliat city ua a qhafge
of obtaining’(l.OfiO on false pretemea.
The accusation is made by ft. Monro*, an
Episcopal clergyman, at Newton, Lower
Falls. Mr. Small has been stumping in
Massachusetts in favor of prohf
bition. The transaction which
salted in th6 arrest of Mr. Small waa
agreed upon in August, 1800, when the
evangelist was president of the Ogden
university. It is alleged that Mr. Small
induced Rev. Monroe to pay Ecles (1,
000 for a parcel of land belonging to the
university which was represented to be
worth that sum.
Subsequently Mr. Monroe learned
from the university people that they de-
mahded only (500 for the lot, and that
Mr. Small had made (500 by the trans
action. Then Monroe demanded a re
turn of his. money, and not getting
it, he caused the arrest of Mr. Small.
The case was brought in ths civil
court to avoid the scandal a criminal
case might bring to the cause of prohi-
bition. Secretary Merden, of the pro
hibition state committee, went bail for
Mr. Small.
Another Ogden Trick*
Atlanta, Oct. 17.—The news of Rev.
Sam Small’s arrest has just reached this
city. Nothing has been heard from Mr.
Small on the subject. It is stated
among Mr. Small’s friends here that
this is another one of the Ogden univer
sity tricks to injure him, and that he
will come out on top in this case as he
Vas in ail other attempts to down him.
5 OVER THE 8EA.
There Seem* to Be No End of Storm*
end Bad Weather.
London, Oct. 19.—There seems to be
no end to the terribly severe weather
which has prevailed, almost without'in-
terrnption for about a week. No sooti
er does the wind go down for a few
hours than a report is spread that bad
weather hits ceased. But people have
hardly commenced to congratulate
themselves over this aspect of affairs
tbnn the sky again lets loose. The hur
ricane which has prevailed on the west
coast of Ireland far several days, is pro
nounced to be the worst storm known
in that part of the country in twenty
years. The river Shannon has over
flowed large quantities of land in its
vicinity, drowmng a considerable num
ber of cattle and sheep and destroying
several houses and many barns and oth
er snch bnildings.

Columbus, Iud., Oct. 19.— F. P.
Smith, ouc of our wealthiest and most
prominent citizens, created a sensation
by attempting to take Ills lifo while
drinking with a party of friends in the
St. Denis saloon, first beating himself
I with a l eer bottle, then‘attempting; to]
cut,liis tbroai wlth a knife, but was' re
strained by friends interfering. Smith’s
I father retire-anted this i imnty in the
Istate legislature in 1858,and his brother,
I y, Walilx-r Smith,: Was clerk of this
comity in 1879. and now resides here
ami is wealthy. The cause of Smith’s
trunble is that he has two Wives .and
two children by each wife. Seventeen
years ago he was married to* daughter
of Judge Crandall, of Joliet, Ills., and
had two children, then got on a drank
land lelt bis family, going to St. Louis
ami taking service as fireman on the O.
and M. railway, but after a while re
turned to his old home, but his wife
had procured a divorce and taken her
children and left. '
Smith, finding no trace of her, came
to this city and has since remained here,
and twelve years ago married a Mi«*
Ford, daughter of a respectable farmer,
by whom he has two children, the elder
being 18 vears old. Coming her* pen
niless he has. in the last ten years, ac
cumulated about (20,000. For fourteen
long years lie heard nothing of his first
wife and children until three months
ago, when he discof&rtwi them in Chi
cago, one of the boys working in The
Herald oltice. The old love for liU find
wife au<l children ret arued, uud Smith
visited them often, and abandoned his
wife and children here, leaving them ail
. his property, about (20,000, taking with
I him (1,500. and going to Chicago to join
his first wife and children.
ENGLAND GETTING READY.
She Will Attempt to Prevent Any An
nexation Movement.
Ottawa, Oct. 19.—Following close
upon the announcement that the United
States government intended to abrogate
the agreement entered into with Great
Britain in 1617, and place a fleet of,gun
boats upon the Great Lakes, esme the
report that, at the request of the British
government, Lord Stanley bad ,de
minified an immediate report upon .the
defense of the dominion. Military aw
tftoritfes here i atnrally attach the sole
interes as to what The urgency could
be that hurriedly culled for this inform
ation. The request of Lord Salisbury
was communicated through Lord Stan
ley to Premier Abbett hut week and
the minister of militia promised to have
the report ready to be forwarded to the
British government at once.
For several years past, to tue the lan
guage of a prominent military officer
here, the British hav* been hammering
at Sir John McDonald to strengthen the
defense of Canada, that in the event of
trouble the dominion would not be
solely dependent upon great Britain for
protection. This request has not been
sarried ont to the satisfaction of the
_ It is stated on
the highest authority that the officer
commanding the dominion forces. Gen
eral Herbert, was sent out to Canada to
investigate the actual state of affairs,
which duty his predecessors appear to
have neglected. That the relations ex
isting between General Herbert and the
minister of militia. Sir Adolph Caron,
are somewhat strained as u result, is an
open secret.
There appears to be little doubt that
it is the intention of the British gov
ernment to send several regiments to
Canada shortly. This has been in con
templation for some time. Again, for
tifications at Halifax, still under con
trol of the imperial authorities, nr* be
ing strengthened. The same policy is
to be carried ont in British Columbia,
but there is some hitch between the
home and Canadian authorities as to
the outlay it will involve. The naval
dockyard at Esqnimalt, on the Pacific
coast, was jointly constructed by the
British ana dominion governments, bnt
it has been reported by the home au
thorities that it is seriously defective in
many particulars.
Speaking on the question of defense,
a prominent official of the government
said that the moment the United States
government abrogated the agreement
of 1817, which restricted thenaval forces
of both Canada and the United States
on the Great Lakes to four vessels each,
no vessel to exceed 100 tons burden,
afmM’WItn TOR 18-pound gun. and in
creased the strength of the fleet on these
waters, Great Britain would ran np the
fleet of her iron-clads to keep them com
pany. It has been suggested that Eng-
id has become alarmed at th* strong
Annexation movement which appears to
have seized her subjects in Canada, and
is going to take precautionary measures,
if necessary at the point of the bayonet,
to prevent further development.

LIVELY LEGISLATION EXPECTED IN
IOWA ON WOMAN>8 SUFFRAGE.
The Wemsn’t Suffrage Question to Come

, —The Three BUlt to Bo Introduced.
(i jrACON City, Qpf 10, '-’Ojerq' paspm,

winter on the woman'll ^suffrage ques
tion. Tha t rienda of the 'cause have
now; started out on y the plan of
thorough organization, and "before' ‘the
legislature ' convenes every county in
the state will be equipped for warfare.
Carrie Lane Chapman, who. has dp-
voted the last eight years to this work,
and Mrs. Callahan, of Des Moines, who
founts her wraith in the millions, hare
begun the work and will carry It rigor-
ously forward until it reaches asnecess-
fnl consummation. The primary ob
ject is to get the woman’s suffrage sen
timent in the state into line ready to
accomplish telling work. They expect
to have introduced in the coining legis
lature three bills—one asking school
suffrage, one municipal suffrage and
one full suffrage. 8ome of the most
prominent lawyers in the etate have
given tbelr opinion that fnll suffrage
can be granted constitutionally by the
legislature. The workers are confident
that some concessions will be made to
their petilions. At these connty con
ventions a fund is collected by private
subscriptions to defray the expenses of
a thorough canvass to extend through
out the entire year, or until snch a time
as satisfactory results are attained.

Speech or Freeldent Patton or Prlceton
to the Philadelphia Society.
New York, Oct. 19.—There is some
agitation in store for President Patton
of Princeton university, growing out of
a speech he delivered to the Philadel
phia society of Princeton college March
81, 1887. During that year the contro
versy at Andover on the question of
future probation was agitating the
whole religious world. Dr. Patton, then
professor of ethics in the collage as well
as in the seminary, was invited by the
students of the former institution to
give on address upon the subject in
Murray Hill, Philadelphia. Two mem
bers of the staff of the Philadelphia
Magazine, one of them a stenographer,
reported the speech with the greatest
core.
At the request of a member of the
faculty, the venerable Dr. Dtiffield. who
deemed the address "very broad,” one
of these students waited upon Dr. Pat
ton the following morning, gave him
the proof of his address and requested
his permission to insert it in the maga
zine. To his surprise, the professor em
phatically forbade it, saying that "he
had spoken os Dr. Patton and not for
the seminary, ” and that "to publish his
remarks would injure the seminary,”
and dosed liis interview with the in
formation that he was isooh to write
