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. Serious Consequences Expected On lbs St. Louis licit Line. St. Louis, Nov. 13.—'The difficulty between the Belt line and the Brother hoods of Locomotive Engineer, and 1 N ov. 13. - The National Firemen, has culminated in the declare- organ* ths McCarthyite wing of the Irish Parliamentary party, pub lishes an article relative to the Paris tlon of a strike and boycott that is likely to he far-reaching in its effects.

Chief Arthur has given his' con sent to such amove, and it only requires a like coiisent from Grand Master Sar- fent, who has just arrived in the fifty, laving been absent during the day, in order to have the strike begnn.

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 near the shore all night.

Jones, is apprehensive that the Tennessee min ers, who a few days ago released over 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 nessee line, and liberatethe#10 convicts at work ai these two places. He has written Mr. Conner, keeper of these ips, to exercise unfailing vigilance 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 IRISH FUND.

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.

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.
