REV. SAM SMALL AND THOMAS A
MINOR FIGHT.
The Difficulty Come A bont by Soma Remark
Made by Sot. Sam Small—Minor Took
Him Onarwaro and n Sorlmago Unsued —
What Mr. Small Say,.
Atlanta, Nov. 13.—There waa
short hut lively fight in Nush’s barber
shop on Peachtree street shortly after
noon. The participants were Bev. Sam
Small, the well known evangelist and
one of the leaders of the anti-barroom
movement, and Thomas A. Minor,
saloon keeper at 13b Deoatur street.
Certain allusions which Mr. Small
had made in bis public speeches at Pro
hibition hall about Mr. Minor and his
saloon are what brought about the at
tack. It lasted only abont half a min
ute, and was over before any one out
side of the barroom could have their
attention attracted.
Mr. Small was seen and asked about
the difficulty, and said:
He didn’t hurt me much, for I held
up my arm this way and warded off
the blows. Pretty Boon we clutched
And fell to the floor. I was nnder the
man. The barber here pulled him off
and as he went out of the door he said:
1 reckon you'll know Tom Minor
now.’ ”
"Do yon know what he attacked you
for?” was asked.
“Yes. I stated in my speeches at
prohibition hall that I had been told
that policemen were stationed in front
of Minor’s saloon on Decatur street to
take care of the bums that caine out.”
“Did you know Minor?”
“No; never saw him before."
“Was nothing else said?”
“No, that’s all."
Mr. Small stood up to have the dust
brushed off bis clothes and then walked
out of the barbershop with his gold)
spectacles in his hand.
STRIKE AND BOYCOTT.

St. Louis, Nov. 13.—'The difficulty

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 19. —There bars
never lieen worse storms lu Western
Washington than those between the
Sound and the Cascades. The worst
damage was done near Weston, where a
cloudburst occurred. While fortun
ately no lives were lost there was much
damage to property. The cloudburst
swept everything before it. Between
Weston and Tacoma numerous bridges
were washed aWay. The storm extended
even across the range. The telegraph
wires between Portland and Wallula,
on the Union Pacific, were blown down
and a landslide occurred. On the Hound
small steamers were compelled to lay

are reported. - -

Atlaxta, Nov. 12.— Principal Keeper

apprehensive that the Tennessee min

MO convicts from their prison, will
cross over into Georgia ana tear down
the ptison gates at Rising Fawn and
Cole City, a few wiles from the Ten

written Mr. Conner, keeper of these

and be prepared for an onslaught from
the miners.
BANKER8 IN 8E8SION.
Seventeenth Annuel Convention
American Hanker*.
NewOrlkans, Nov. 13.—The Ameri
can Bankers’ association began its sev
enteenth annual convention here. There
are about 303 delegates in attendance,
including a large number from the
southern country. Senator Gibson wel
corned the association. G. A. Levi of
Victoria, Tex., and Mr. John C. Bus
sell of St Louis, urged a change In the
constitution so as to give state associa
tions representation in order to encour
age and assist state bodies in giving
more effective local protection.
The matter was finally referred back
to the executive association, which first
reported adversely, in order that it
might hear the views of all the state
associations and report back, next year.
The committee on protection was au
thorized to prepare a plan for protec
tion against and the punishment of
criminals.
A letter from Secretary Foeter In re
ply to a request for information as to
the working of the recent silver law,
was laid before the association.
The secretary says in part:
"The new law makes a net annual ad
dition to our circulating medium of
$24,000,000. While it is true that the
amonnt of money in circulation in this
country at the present time Is greater
than at any previous period in our his
tory, and more per capita than in any
leading commercial nations of the
world, with a single exception, France,
I am of the opinion that owing to onr
rapid growth in population and wealth,
and the extraordinary development in
all kinds of business, a yearly increase
in onr circulating medium, somewhat
proportionate to our growth iu popula
tion. is imperatively demanded.
"Theissnee of treasury notes under
this act affords an increase of perfectly
convenient and sonpd currency, based
dollar for dollar upon the cost value of
silver bnllion, redeemable on demand in
gold coin, and with the pledge of the
government to maintain It at par. That
this addition to our circulation haa
iroved beneficial was forcibly exhibited
luring the spring and summer of the
present year, when, through the neces
sities of Europe, gold was withdrawn
from this country in large quantities,
aggregating, in a brief period of five
mouths, over $72,000,000. ”

THE CYCLONE.
FURTHER DETAILS FROM INDIA
8TATE 100 LIVE8 WERE L08T,
The Bay at Bangui Exposed to the Full
Fury Of tbs Storm—Great Trees Upturned
and Hurried Aside—Dwelling* and Every
thing Swept Awav,
Calcutta. Nov. 19.—As further de
tails regarding the cyclone which passed
over this part of India on Monday, are
received, it is seen that thedamagb
done is very extensive. Besides the loss
of seventy-seven lives, occasioned by
the sinking of the Indian government
steamer Enterprise, which foundered at
the Andmnnn Islands, and the killing
of sixty convicts, there no doubt has
been large loss of life at other places
along the coast.
Advices from varions parts of Orissa,
a province of India, in Bengal, state*
that the cyclone passed over that sec
tion of the country and did great dam
age. The eastern part of the province
lies along the shores of the Buy of Ben-
ml, and this section was therefore ex-
tosed to the full fury of the gale, which
seemed to gather force as it swept
across the bay. The cyclone cleared a
path through the forests, uprooting
gigantic trees and hurling them aside
as though tsey were reeds. No house
could stand the terrible energy of the
gale, and every dwelling or other struc
ture in the path of the cyclone waa
either awept from its foundation or lit
erally picked up, turned over and de
posited at some distance from the place
where it had originally stood. The
wind also did muoh damage In the vi
cinity of Calcutta.
•No estimate can as yet he given of
the total loss of life, hut from all the
details received it is known positively
that the number of' persons drowned or
killed by falling trees or flying debris
*s very large.
A LUMBERMAN FAILS.
B. Paul Breaks far 0300,000—The
Cause Briefly Stated.
Louisville, Nov. 13.—Another big
failure in lumber was caused here by
the recent Goebel & Colter assignment
C. B. Panl, lumber dealer, assigned to
W. R. Ray, president of the Citizens’
National bank. The . liabilities are
abont $900,000, and the assets probably
$100,000. Mr. Panl came he;
years ago from Indianapolis, ani .
ing saw mills, began a big Irasini
Panl had a good financial reputation at
Indianapolis, and had no trouble in
making paper here. He purchased logs
in large consignments from M. B. Goe
bel, of Catlettehnrg, Ky., and executed
aggregating about $90,000. They are
held at Catletts burg, Indianapolis, Cin
cinnati and by varions banks through
out the country. The logs purchased
from Goebel on time were sold partially
to (fie R. B. Colter company on credit
The latter assigned last week and
caught Mr. Panl for $40,000 or $50,000.
Mr. Panl also owes both Pritchard and
Wallace Williams of Catlettsborg, be-*
tween $89,000 and $40,000 for logs pur
chased. Colonel Ray refused to make
a. positive statement ‘ as to asset* and
liabilities, bnt, in answer to a question,
he said he thbngUt Mr. Paul Would pay
out more than fifty cents on the dollar.
