The Olive-Gantt war has been a bloOdless
one so far, and another encounter between
the two gentlemen does not appear at all
probable. Articles Of adjustment, however,
| have not been signed Mr. CAN'T is still in
Atlanta and will remain several days He
was at she state house Tuesday and at one
| time in a group with Mr.. Olive, but they
| did not speak. Mr.. Olive appears TO be able
| to take care Of himself, but does not talk
about the spat with MIR. CAN'T except with
the most intimate friends. To them he
says that there will be no more
trouble, and in his conversations he jus
titles his conduct and says: 81 did refuse to
| shake hands with CAN'T, and | did it be-
cause If his abuse of rnen Mr.. Olive, as
well as Mr. CAN'T, denies that any notes
have passed between them since the quarrel
Monday evening. Mr.. CAN'T talks freely Of
the affair, and said Tuesday: 81 have no
idea where that statement originated.
However, it is untrue | never extended
my hand toward Mr.. Olive, because we
were at least six or eight steps apart. The

At Columbus Tuesday great excitement
was caused on Broad street by George
Newman (white). While under the infu-
| ence of liquor in his fathers bar he grew
very obstreperous and he went for persons
and things promiScuOusly, his mother com
ing in for a share Of the all-round thrashing.
The woman was knocked down by the son
when she attempted to calm him. A gen
eral melee ensued, and in few minutes the
| saloon was crowded. Role Hinde, one
of the employees, rushed out for
the purpose of notifying the police
When he reached the sidewalk he
shouted police policeln at the top of his
| voice, and this had the effect of bringing
| spectators of the circus rushing from all
quarters. Within all was utter confusion.
| and the scene beggars description. Bottles
| were flying, licks were passed and the
crowd was in a terrible state of excitement.
George, the center figure, tore the desk
from its place and scattered the bills and
| papers all about. Finally the police arrived
and took him in charge. He stoutly re-
| sisted arrest for awhile, but after a struggle
| he was landed behind the bars by Lieut..
Duncan and one of the officers.
