WAsHINGToS, January Sat meeting

ator Sherman's till authorizing national
banks to secure circulation to the amount
OF ninety per cent. of the market value of
the bonds deposited, was under discussion.
No conclusion was reached. Aldrich, AL
lison and VOORHEES, were absent. 1t was
urged in support OF the measure that it
would enable the banks to use bonds for
a long time bearing a rate of interest
higher than three per cent. The passage
was objected to on the ground that it
would be dangerous to make the amount
of the circulating medium subject in any
way TO fiuctuating standard. 1t is prob
able the bill in some form will be reported
by the committee, and its support not be
limited TO either party.

ABE SLAUGHTER SHOT
At Covington by n Companion Named
Will Douglass.
HIS Wound Probably M0rtal-A Fight
Over Pool.

Intelligence reached the city of a diff
Guilty at Covington, thirty miles from
Memphis, on the line of the Chesapeake,
Ohio and Southwestern railroad, which is
likely to result in the death OF a citizen OF
that place.
THE AFFAIR OCCURRED
some time Monday evening The exact
hour could not be learned.
Abe Slaughter and Will Douglass were
engaged in a game of pool in the back of a
saloon for some time, and during the
course of the game took several drinks
each. There were number OF pool
checks left after the game had been fin
ished and they seem to have been the
CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY,
each claiming that he was entitled to a
certain number OF the checks. They
finally quarreled and called each other
hard names. When near the door Doug
lass drew pistol and fred at Slaughter,
who made desperate effort to keep his
feet, but fell bleeding TO the ground. The
ball is said to have passed entirely
THROUGH HIS BODY,
and at this writing his recovery was not
considered by any means certain. He is
the son of Justice d. G. Slaughter, and
has always been wild, reckless and quarrel
some. Douglass has similar reputation,
and though both young men are of excel
lent family, neither OF them stand very
high in the estimation of the community
in which they live.
Special 10 Appeal.
The following special was received from
Covington at late hour last night:
CovINGToN, Tenn, January S.-A diff
Guilty occurred yesterday in Paine's saloon
over game OF pool. A few angry words
passed. Will Douglass went to his office
and on his return shot Avery A. Slaughter
in the side, the ball passing out in front.
His condition is critical. Douglass is out
on bond. The Circuit Court convened
