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.

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. WANT TO VOTK LIVELY LEGISLATION EXPECTED IN IOWA ON WOMAN>8 SUFFRAGE.

(i jrACON City, Qpf 10, '-’Ojerq' paspm, ises .fo be suwt* lively, legislation this 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.

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 upon the i same- theme,far The Forum, wMjjlij notdefir* to anticipate that vt> Thew f '.feOTt^ipV». , j4io|ist''l'iod their s&Ams Ks rtet report.
