saying he hsd stood by the old State when
Mr. Gibson carpet bsgged into

wrestling with darkey in the Underwood
convention and it had always been doubt

a comparative failure.

Confidential Statement.
The report referred to by Gibson as
having been placed on record by Atkinson
was q confidential statement filed by the
latter when acting as special agent of the
revenue service and stated among other
things that good many prominent citizens
of interior counties in the State were IN
sympathy with offenders against revenue
regulations. Some of the latter reguls-
tions, as for instance those affecting the
sale of tobacco by farmers who raise II, are
so burdensome and operate so harshly
sgainst the producer, that man could be
readily forgiven for sympathizing for those
who were found offending against them,
but the report when made public by cor
respondent, who accidentally got hold OF
gave mortal offence to those
mentioned in it. The matter came
near spelling Atkinson's chances for con-
firmation when he was appointC1 Marshal,
but the latter stood up to his statement and
insisted that he had reported nothing that
was not true, although he did not expect
his report to be made public. As for the
balance Of the statements contained in the
interview relating to prosecutions in the
Third District have no knowledge of nv
own as to what such prosecutions were
founded upon, but remember distinctly
that Atkinson made things very lively in
that section for numerous citizens during
his connection with the revenue service.
As one venerable mountsineer remarked
to the foreman of the Grand Jury at
Charleston, they were powerfully inter
rupted." The figures given in Gibson's in.
terview were taken from the reports OF the
Commissioner of Iuternal Revenue and At
torney General, and have been heretofore

WASHINGTON, February 25.-There is con-

of the distinguished stranger from the Sun

Presidency, the great obJector from indi-

and naturally expected the Indiana mem.
Der would call on him. But Mr.. Holman
did not call. A dinner was then arranged
at which he, with other prominent Demo
Gratis, should meet Mr. Dana Holman net
only did not attend, but he sent no regrets
Mr.. Dana went away thinking that Hol-
msn is rather queer sort OF person. 1t
will probably end the Holman boom.

PHIL. SNYoER'S TROUBLE.

Phil Snyder says that early in the ses.

day during debate and while so engaged
he heard some member behind him ask
suoIht: who L WAS that was speaking.
The second member promptly replied,
It's that d-n fool SNYDER, OF West Nir.

over in the direction indicated and discov-
rripe Gibson engaged IN oratorical pursuits
ae went straight up 10 the man VINO had
msds the profaue mistake and told htm he
as Snyder, and while he was willing TO be
cussed for anything he did, ne did not
want to be mathematical for what some
body else was doing.
why Snyder Suffers.
Speaking OF Snyder, he has suffered con-
siderably from being mistaken for other
people. The last time he went home an
other passenger on the cars mistook him
for Bishop Peterkin, and he had to make
good many unclericsl remarks before he
could convince the man that he was mis-
taken.

list who killed Colonel shannon few
years ago, came into town early in the day
and remained until dark. Just before
starting for home lie became boisterous and
was approached by Town Marshal Richards
and requested to keep quiet. A difficulty
ensued, the marshal using his club freely
on Cssh's head and arms. Finally the
marshal was overpowered and terribly
beaten and kicked in the head and face by
Cash. After the Two men were separated,
Cash left town.
This afternoon about three O'Clock, Cash
sgain came to town, and after remaining
about two hours walked up to Marshal
Richards, who was sitting on q dry goods
box in front Of q store. Passing by him .
few PAGES, Cash suddenly wheeled round
and without saying word, drew q thirty

his hip pocket and fired three shots in
rapid succession at the marshal. The first
shot passed through the left lung OF James

which missed its mark He then ran TO
