A Statement from Mr.. Levi Green
leaf, tho Defendant In the Case.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
LEWISTON, Me-, April 8, 1890
Owing to the misrepresentation that have
been publshedrelative to the. assault upon
one Ellen Slattery aud a consequent suit for
for damages against me. l deem 1t proper
that word from me of explanation should
be made at this time.
The alleged assault has no foundation In
fact inasmuch as / without any violence
whatever. simply ushered from my office an
intoxicated and obnoxious female into the
hallway adjoining on account of her bolster
Gus and indecent conduct which consisted
of profanity, vulgarity and threats to such
an extent that she was a nuisance, not only
to me but to the several other gentlemen who
were in my Office at the time.
The suit for $500 damages, the report OF
which has been so extensively circulated In
the papers, was to lmy mind instigated and
provoked by personal and bitter enemy of
mine. who chooses to be one Of this woman's
acquaintances, and as believe, was prompt
ed by desire to injure me for purely per-
sonal and political motives.
l have consequently brought suit for $1,000
damages against this man for conspiracy and
causing to be brought this suit against me,
which as have stated Is groundless and
without any foundation Whatever.
desire to place this communication In the
columns of the PRESS for the purpose Of Civ
ing my friends and the public generally the
true facts in the case.
Very respectfully,
LEVI GREENI.EAF.

WILL MAKE LAWS.
Farmers and Knights of Labor Com
bined In the South.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 4.-John j. Hol-
land of Jacksonville, Fla, member of the
Knights Of Labor General Executive Board
and of the Legislative Committee, stationed
at Washington, has made some important
disclosures concerning the strength and
scope of the orders joint movement with
the Farmers Alliance In the South. The
organizations, Mr.. Holland says, are working
harmoniously in great industrial move
ment to secure legislation that the old par
ties have refused them. Committees at
Washington are keeping an accurate record
OF the work OF Congressman and transmit
ting reports to the assemblies and lodges eve
ry week. The Congressman from the South
and Southwest, he declares, are panic-strick-
en- in the fear of results. OF each one who
seeks reelection, pledges will be required to
series OF propositions. III these are re-
fused, a candidate, either Democratic or Re-
publican, who will assent to them, will be
put in the field and elected. The Farmers
Alllance will see that the votes, white or
black, are counted. These joint interests
expect to come into the Fifty-second Con-
gress with no less than 45 members commit
ted TO their cause, and several Senators also.
Mr. Holland says there has been a steady
growth OF the industrial sentiment in the
South, and that 1t was found impossible to
secure proper representation in Congress
without great movement conducted In the
lowed.

STORM AND FLOOD.
The Wind Makes Things Lively In an
Inundated City.

NEW ORLEANS, La. April A special
from Arkansas City, received at a late hour
last night, says: Another wind and rain
storm ragged here last night. The rain
poured down all night, and about o'clock
several strong blasts of wind in rapid sue
cession severely tested the strength of every
house in town. and brought their occupants
out of their beds. For several
minutes 1t looked as though
the town would be blown away.
The terrors of storm In town covered by
water to depth of from eight to 16 feet can
hardly be imagined. The Catholic church
was blown from its foundation and consid-
erably damaged. The building was flooded
to depth of eight feet and all of the furni-
ture and fixtures were damaged. A negro
church and three or four residences
were also blown down from their
foundations. but were not badly damaged.
This morning dawned bright and clear.
The river has been falling, and the gauge
now registers 4S.4 feet. The backwater is
falling again, and if it should continue to
fall for few days the outskirts of the over
flowed districts along Crooked bayou would
be sufficiently relieved for planting opera
ti0ns to begin"

Congressman Buckalew of the seventeenth
Pennsylvania district, the lone Democrat
who has persisted In voting through all the
filibustering of the party and who voted
alone against the admission of Idaho on
Thursday while the rest of his party sat ST.
lent, is by no means a new man nor an inex-
perienced man. He began to be prominent
in Pennsylvania 40 years ago, and has been
in politics ever since. He sat in the United
States Senate from 1868 to 1869, and In 1872
was Democratic candidate for Governor OF
Pennsylvania. He was minister to Ecuador
before the war and also was commissioner
to exchange ratiications of an early
treaty with Paraguay. He was member of
the Fiftieth Congress. just why he takes
his course Is not clear. In refusing to be
foolish with the rest Of his party he is doing
wise thing; but those who know Buckalew
best express surprise that he should be
caught outside the party fold for the pur-
pose of doing wise thing They say it is
neither Democratic nor like Buckalew.

Captain Howell Reported To Be the
Owner of a Grievance.

BALTIMORE. April A special dispatch

the Atlanta, owing to temporary difficulty
with her engines. was compelled to slow
down to the last place in the line. She was
signalled from the flagship to take her
proper place and an answer sent back that
the engines were disabled and it was i'm
possible. By signal from the flagship, Capt.
Howell was thereupon suspended from duty,

Capt. Howell was restored to duty by signal.
He thereupon went to the flagship and asked
